A large, good natured man was
greatly attracted to a little girl in the
dining room Of an uptown hotel the
other day. She was about two and a
half years old, was beginning to run
about and talk q good deal, and also
appeared to be at home in the hotel.
After smiling at him across the din.

at a distance he accosted her in the
hall. He asked her the regulation
questions put by strangers to children,
all Of which she answered as promptly
as her baby fashion would permit.
Finally the man shook hands with
her and said: "You are a nice little
girl. Shall I bring you a box of candy
Tomorrow"
The little n looked puzzled a mo
ment, then spoke up brightly:
mo; 90 better doe det it now!"
She got the candy that evening.

A constantly increasing number, OF physi-

has proven it's merits so thoroughly that
even the doctors nave overcome their preju-
dice against so-called patent medicines and
recommend it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
every one will admit. is the cause Of n

Success of MIR. Warren,

Montgomery's young architect. VIII
liam 7. Warren, is making "A reputa-
ton in New York city. Since his re-
turn from visit to Montgomery he
has been engaged on a beautiful two
million dollar building on Fifth Ave-
ME. which his firm is experimenting
for Tiffany and Company.
Recently Professor Laird, head of the
School of Architecture, in the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, sent Mr.. Warren
catalogues and a letter offering him a
position to teach perspective, element
airy design. and shades and shadows, a
branch of descriptive geometry. With
out Mr.. Warren's knowledge, his name
was suggested to Prof. Laird by Prof
Hamlin of Columbia University. New
graduated some time ago in the school
of architecture.
Columbia University and the Unlver-
sity of Pennsylvania are two of the
large universities of this country. 1t
is quite complimentary to Mr.. Warren
that his attachments are such as to at
tract the attention of professors in
those institutions that probably num-
Der their students all told by the thou
sands.
Mr.. Warren declined the instructor
ship in the University of Pennsylvania
on the ground that his present position
with McKim Mead and White, archi-
tects, of New York City, afforded him
training TOO valuable to be discarded
even for such an honor as that prof
fered by Prof. Laird.
1t is interesting to note incidentally
that Mr.. Warren is a medalist of the
University School of Montgomery.

We are bound to hear much of FIRST
guns of the campaign" and various
places will have fired the very first
but in fact the Red Man of the West
is entitled to the distinction In Mus
kogee, the capital of the Creek Ma
ton. there was a municipal election
held on Tuesday after Parker's nomina-
ton. The Republicans claimed that
there was no doubt of their success,
but the Democrats elected their ticket,
all the same. and sent the following
telegram:
Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y.
I'm an election held here TODAY the
first in the United States after your
nomination. Muskogee, claimed by the
Republicans. went Democratic by one
hundred majority. This is the first gun

This may sound somewhat bombastic.
considering that Indian Territory has
no electoral vote, but it is excusable.
AS they say. ii is a fair test" and
shows how readily the Democrats are
lining up for the great fight that is on.
1t shows that a town which was con-
sidered certainly Republican few
weeks ago was not so when the Dem
ocrats found that they had a good in
centive in the shape of a national
ticket. And why should they not
boast? If the Republicans should win
in a municipal election in a town in
Alabama would they not proclaim it
abroad as an evidence of coming vic
tory? OF certainty they would. and
their papers would make the most of
it. Our Creek friends have a right to

Gold standard Out of POLITICS.

The New York Financial Chronicle
the leading financial journal of that
city. in its usual weekly article on
The Financial Situation last Satur-
day, says:
In this article last week we spoke of
the Democratic party as having "ap-
parently been re-created" by "nominat-
Ing a safe man on a safe platform ;"
That statement was written under the
eXpectatio .nthat the convention would
adopt the platform with the provision
included which had been proposed re-
specting the gold money standard
When the platform was passed with
the gold issue ignored, the position of
the party on the most important of all
issues became open to question. AS it
has turned out, this very uncertainty
gave Judge Parker the opportunity of
getting an Interpretation of the plat
form from the convention. Reing a
man of convictions and of outspoken
honesty, and believing that ignoring
the issue left the intent subject TO
quibble, he greatly strengthened him
self and his party in public estima-
tion by sending the following message
to the conventions:
1 regard the gold standard as firm
ly and irrevocably established, and
shall act accordingly if the action of
convention today shall be ratified by
on the subject. my view should be
made known to the convention. and
If 1t is proved to be unsatisfactory to
the majority, | request you TO decline
the nomination for me 1T once, so that
another may be nominated before ad-
journment."
The convention, after a struggle
which showed most evidently the great
necessity that existed for an explicit
declaration, made the following an
swer to the above:
The Platform adopted by this con-
vention is silent on the question of the
