Mr.. McAllister expresses satisfaction
with what he learned of Judge Park
er's vie-s. and says they are of sort
en+ ely satisfactory to the South.
H. says he did not try to pin the
Esopus jurist down to any definition OF
principles; that is Just what the South
does not want: that it is satisfied with
Parker's policy OF silence until after the
81 Louis convention. that il believes
the Southern delegates. except possibly
those from South Carolina. viii stand

added Mr.. NcAllister, and that the
man nominated at St. Louis would be

NEW ORLEANS, June ga strong
movement has been started in Louisiana

for the nomination for President, on the

election and who can protect this region
against the dangers of new recon

Of Nervous Tension.
EXPLOSION AND LOU PAYN

EXPLOSION AND LOU PAYN

B-4-r. z-z-i-p.
Today was one of great nervous ten
sion at the White House II began with
the explosion Of a fire extinguisher in
the hallway of the executive offices.
Then came the visit of Lou Payn, the
reputed leader of anti Roosevelt move
ments in New York State. who was clos
eted with the President for some time.
Following that was the President y
hurried trip down town.
To cap the climax, just after the Pres
idents return, a crank who had gained
admittance to the anteroom o. the eX-
ecutive offices ran afoul of the Secret
Service officers, who promptly had him
out of the way.
No Damage Done.
NO damage was done by the explosion
OF the fire extinguisher 1t was of
rather n large caliber and was hang
ing on Il hook at the top of the stair
way on the second floor. When the
casket fell the plug of the extinguisher
dropped and the fluid inside, impelied
by compressed air. popped out with the
Nose of an engine blowing off steam.
There was a hurried rush of clerks
from the executive offices. and the
noise was soon extinguished, as well as
the extinguisher itself.
Lou Payns visit was regarded as Of
great significance in political circles. II
is understood that he came over by
special invitation of the President. Mr..
Pawn was former instance commissioner
of New York. was deposed from Office
when Mr. Roosevelt became governor,
and has since been his outspoken oppo-
ne-t
After remaining in conference with
the President for some time, Mr.. Payn
on coming out. said to the waiting
group of newspaper men: Il came over
merely in the interest of the Republican
party. and whatever interests I may
represent The conference was altogeth-
er pleasant and agreeable. I have no
statement 70 make as 10 what was
talked about.
Payn and CortelyOu.
Mr.. Payn will leave the city this af-
ternoon at Il o'clock. At the same time
he was at the White House, Secretary
Cortelyou called. and Mr.. Payn said that
he also met" Mr. Corteiyou. As a
result Of the conference il is said Mr..
Payn will return to New York in a much
more harmonious frame of mind
The crank who was taken in charge
by Officer Taylor was what is known as
OF the literary" variety. He had a
large collection OF poems written in diff
ferent languages and said that he must
get in 70 show them TO the President
When questioned he became incOherent

"LikE As A FATHER"

n SAINT up to bed in the dark. alone.
Where all of the corners were weird ana
And the shapes and the shadows waited
AT every turning-my little son.
Sent for some childish mischief done
At the hour when childish hearts are high
With Joy Of the evenings revelry-
And his fault at worst was tiny one!
A wistful moment his feet delayed,
Waiting to let my face relent.
And then, q pitiful penitent,
His faltering, frightened way he made:
But up in the stairway's deepest snade
heard him pause where the shadows
crowd
And whisper, "Father," and sob aloud.
Father, go with me. I am afraid!
Quick as his calling my answer leapt,
Strong as his terror my shielding arms
Folding him close from the nights alarms
Sheltered and comforted while he wept;
And up in the nurserys light kept,
A tender watch until he smiled again.
Till the sobs Of his half-remembered pain
Lessened and hushed, and the baby slept.
Father Of love, when my day is done
And all of my trespasses written In,
Not for thoughtless or willful sin
Send me out in the dark alone;
But so as I remembered by little son,
Come to the prayer of my pleading breath
And lead me safe through the night OF
death,
Father of light. when my light is gone!

A BANK CLERKS WORRY.
Was Short 81 800 for a Whole Year
Hut Came Out All Right in
the End.

An ex-bank official said that during
his career in the banking business he
had known more than one employe of
1 bank to get into trouble on account of
carelessness in handling money, says
the Portland Oregonian.
One collector, who was light-hearted
fellow, was going along the street in
highwater season, Tipping up $40 piece
with his thumb and finger, and catching
it as it came down. Finally 1t slipped
and fell through grating on the side
walk into about two feet of water. He
made some efforts to recover 1t, but
finally decided to wait till the water was
gone, and then it was found that the coin
was also gone. Another time the same
fellow was coming up the street with
$10,00O in $40 pieces on his shoulder. In
some way he lost his hold on the sack,
and in striking the sidewalk it burst and
the coins rolled in all directions. A
number of people rushed to his assist
ance, but he described large circle.
around the sack, and, waving his arms
wildly, ordered everybody to "stand
back" He recovered most of the coin,
but decided to get out of the banking
business.
Another time Chinaman came into
the bank and deposited 5000 and took
certificate of deposit. The clerk VINO
made out the certificate was preoccu.
pied and wrote $4,000 on it and on the
stub. When he made up his cash at
night he was $1,000 short. He knew
where the mistake was, and tried to hunt
up the Chinaman, but, although he got
a clew, he could never fi2d him, and he
remained 81, 800 short on the books. He
had notice of the date of the certificate.
amount, ETC., pasted in his desk, and
was always on the lookout to catch the
certificate as it came in. Just a year
from the day the deposit was made the
Chinaman walked into the bank, and
presented the certificate to be cashed.
When asked how much he wanted he
said all-$200. He had never noticed
the mistake in the amount of the certifi-
cate, and he has never found it out, an6
the clerk suffered the worry of being
short, in his mind, for whole year, al.
for nothing.
