is that SOP" replied the Judge, his
ruddy face, breaking into CHEEKY
smile in which satisfaction was undis
guised. He asked for details of the
final vote and displayed the liveliest
interest in every fact and figure, at
the same time refraining from the
slightest comment
When asked if he would say any
thing on the matter of his nomination,
he said:
No; l shall say nothing whatever
upon the subject until am formally
notified of nomination"
He climbed up the steep bank to
his house and cordially received the
greetings of the other newspaper men
who had been waiting there but he
again declined to make any commenl
upon the situation.
There is little doubt that Judge
Parker has been confident for many
days that he would be nominated. and
while he would not discuss this aspect
CT the question this morning, it was
plain that the announcement of the re-
suit brought him no surprise unless
perhaps, in some detail of the figures
involved.
Judge Parker devoted the first Ieisr
ure Of the morning to reading the
morning papers, deyoting close atten-
tion to the platform. He refused to
make any comment whatever upou
the platform. Afterward he started

AS an example of the humble att1-
tude of the Japanese wife Mrs. Hugh
Fraser relates this incident: "a mid
die aged man on the upper floor was
suffering terribly from heat, and his
little wife seemed greatly distressed
about him. All the screens had been
opened, but it was a breathless day,
and no breeze came to ring the little
glass bells on the hanging fern wreath
on the veranda. The man sat with
his head in his hands groaning, while
madam, kneeling on the mats behind
him, famed his back and from time
to time rubbed him down with blue
towel an expression of the deepest re-
spect and sympathy on her face. When
he seemed little better she busted
herself with preparing tea, which he
drank eagerly and of course made him
self frightfully hot again, when she
went back patiently to her tanning and
rubbing"

of the banking laws of the state. The
resolution was as follows:

The convention was in session from
8 o'cdlock last night until nearly 6
o'clock this morning. In that time
eight names were presented to the
convention nominating and secOnding
speeches innumerable were made, and
as dawn appeared it 5ecame neces-
sary to limit the seconding speeches
to four minutes each. An extension
was made in the case of William Jen-

dramatic situations ever witnessed in
political gathering, addressed the
convention and concluded by second
ing the nomination of Senator Francis

Bryan 1mpassioned.
His speech was an impassioned ap-
peal to the delegates to give the par.
ty candidate who had voted the
Democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900.
He spoke on behalf of the Nebraska
delegation which, he said, had no can
didate to present or favor to ask, but
wanted a candidate whose nomination
would not prove a triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst if the convention thought best,
then former Governor Pattison, of
Pennsylvania, and finally created a
surprise in the convention by declar-
ing for Senator Cockrell.
One of the features of the long,
drawn'out session should be the beau
tiful tribute paid to Senator Cockrell,
when his name was placed in nomina-
tiOn by Representative Champ Clark.
1t was a spontaneous outburst for that
reason the more complimentary to the
senator. The delegates, already weary
by reason of the task of the tedious
and trying session, exhausted in their
labors and the guise of a nomination

tors friends knew to be beyond his
reach, INDUCED in a demonstration.

every delegate and spectator in the

thousands cheering their favorite
sons had apparently converted Mr..
Bryan to the belief that Senator Cock
rell's chances of nomination were
greater than other favorite son can

A Cn,r snnerstition.

According to Indo European folklore,
the clouds of the heavens were nothing
but cows who were invested with the
duties of psychopomp. AT times these
clouds descended to the earth and as
sumed their bovine garb, but their
duty remained the same; hence the su-
perstition prevalent in many agricul-
tural countries that a COW breaking
into a garden foretells death in the
family. The psychopomp was merely
