given wide circulation may serve to en- liven the campaign. It Is also stated that nothing further has been heard from the republican elephant since Col.

 Again the cry goe5 up over the land. I've must have red-headed stenogra- phers" It has just been discovered that the red-headed girl is very good worker and the fact that she is sometimes not over-burdened with looks does not mili- tate against her in the least Red-headed girls in business offices are also expected to be viewed with more equanimity by the wives of employers. It seems that Judge Parker has conferred a great boon on red-headed people by making them popular and since his nomination for President by the democrats everybody seems to have forgotten the old saying that where there is red hair there is also a temper.
 Peopls who arrive late at the theatre are expected to cause the usual amount of trouble and annoyance this year. Willie discussion of the end seat hog and the elevator hog Is 50 rife it would not be amiss to refer to the 'porker' quail ities of those individuals who never go anywhere on time and interrupt play. a lecture a sermon or any public affair aJ bustling in after everybody else is com- fortaby seated. It may be that some people have never been able to learn the lesson of punctuality and others are no doubt actuated by personal convenience and are loath to hurry away from a good dinner, ut 1t Is safe to assume that. a great many persons who chatter into . theatre fifteen minutes after the curtain has gone up, all respleadant in fine feath- CTS, do so to parade themselves before ] the public.

 A lively interest has been aroused over teh question Of whether Judge Parker
 will go on the stump or will continue
 to direct his campaign from the seclusion
