St. Louis, July 9--Thc steady
growth Of the Parker strength has
continued unchecked throughout
today and tonight. In the face Of
the developments Of the convention
session the nebnlous opposition
grew more uncertain, and tonight
no one can be found to stand for
any definite statement that the
New Yorker will meet with oppo-
sition of a serious character when
the convention is polled for first
place on the ticket. Delegations
that have wavered in the balance
have succumbed to the Parker
tide, xith a few exceptions. and
these are not expected TO withstand
the almost assured results Of the
votes as il proceeds, but will change
10 the Parker column before the
roll call is finished. 1t was report,
ed late tonight that final anti
Parker conference had been called
for an unknown place Of meeting,
but the New Workers. managers,
confident that they have the whole
situation in hand, were not dis
turbed by this conference or il:
possible results.
For second place on the ticke
it can hardly be said that specula
ton tonight centers on any ont
man. A half dozen names are OF

in the lobbies, but the genera

ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose of your
face. but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
of it, "If man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed." And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under
half bushel.
Ro to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give a strong, clear, vivid write
fight. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are not clear to you
il is undoubtedly due 10 the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you

trio lighes the whole subject Will be
made beautifully luminous and we

A nice looking woman walked into
one OF the stores OF the tobacco octopus
the other night and asked to see some
OF the stores best cigars. The clerk
handed out dozen boxes In a jiny.

along the counter TO make various pur-

clerk was concerned But just about
the time the entire line began to dis
play nervous desire to get away, the
fair one selected a I2-cent cigar With
a bright band, and asked the customer

good one.

purchaser. When she had her hand on

BETWEEN ACTS.


M MICE wHEATLEY strolled tc
IN the window and gazed idly out
This was strictly in accordance
with the instructions conveyed - the
little blue-coyered book of typewriting
which read:
And l viii explain it all to you
Gertrude walks to window r and
gazes idly out"
Considering that this was the 217th
time she had done this, the view from
the window had lost somewhat Of its
novelty.
She knew exactly what she would
see there. At her right would be a
huge electric calcium pouring its green
rays upon her white dress. 1t had
been decided that green would be bet
ter than blue. The moon had been
green ever since the night when the
stage manager had arrived at this de-
cision-
There were also couple Of stage
braces holding up the scenery. and
sometimes a couple OF stage hands N
very dirty sleeves lent animation to
the view.
Though the men were absent and
Annice was able to give her whole at
tention TO the floor. on which some one
had chslked, Il love you,v in a clear
print.
She wondered idly who might have
done this. Some stage hand, probably
considering 1t good joke Surely no
one would make such an open confess
sion and expect to be taken seriously.
She was still wondering when she
heard the cue, which was her signal to
turn with a cry of horror to perceive
Lady Gwendolin PROSTATE upon the
floor, struck down by Hugh de Malt
ravers, who in private life was most
unvillain-like villain.
After that 1t was a busy time until !
the fall Of the curtain, when she mad |

change to the third-act costume. She |
gave the chalk marks no further |
thought until the following evening.
There, again, were the eloquent
words neatly chalked for her inspec,
ton. She was the only one required
to use the window. She could not sup
pose that the message was meant for
any one else.
Gradually the legend began to annoy
her. Every evening the same words
appeared, only to disappear before It
came time to make the change for The
next act.
She complained to the stage man
ager, but that official could offer no
practical suggestion. He was certain
it was none Of the stage boys, and that
was all the satisfaction she could OBJ
tain.
The matter both annoyed and inter-
ested her. 1t takes but little to make
talk in a company, and she wisely
held her peace; but she kept a sharp
eye out in the hope Of discovering tile
