 When Lee Kue returns from China she will continue to manage the ranch If she decides to take in partner he will not be led to the altar by his pigtail. Lee Kue does not admire long hair on men. The fortunate husband will be "all samee white man."

WILLIAMS TALKS
 ABOUT TELEGRAM Parker'S Message Caused Dra- matic Scene in Convention NECESSARY THING TO DO Democratic Leader of the House Praises Manly Stand Taken by
 New York Jurist. There Was
 No Compromise.

John Sharp Williams in an article in Golfers Weekly, on the St. Louis con vention, referring to the Parker telegram says:
 The telegram was, I thought, unnec- essary and premature but then l was on the ground. and he was not l knew what people were tthinking and intending, and what knowledge was guiding their ac- tion, and he did not From his standpoint 1t was a candid, manly, brave and even necessary. thing to do From our stand point if was useless, and showed either supersensitiveness to newspaper erltlelsm' or A laudable and chivalric, but some what overstrained, sense of propriety about the possibility of being placed in false position before the delegates and before the country. We saw at once, however, that with the notion in his mind, he ought to have done just what he di6 and ought to have done 1t when he did, instead of waiting for his letter of accep- tanee. It was the simplest retirement of candor and honesty, if he thought 1t pos sible even that he had been nominated under a misapprehension of his views, to wire them. and to direct that the com vention be made acquainted with them before the delegates left St. Louis so that they might undo anything that the supposed msapprehension had induced them to do

Conventions Reply to Parker.

The convention being under no misap- prehension by a vote of 774 to 191 directed that he be wired to that effect, in these words:
 The platform adopted by this eonven- tion is silent on the question of the mone- tary standard. It was not regarded by us as a possible issue in the campaign, and only campaign issues were mention ed Therefore there is nothing in the views expressed in the telegram received, which would preclude a man entertain ing them from accepting the nomination on the said platform.
 Of the minority voting against sending this replN the major part of them were followers of MT. Hearst and other can didates who had never had any doubt, because they could not have had, about Judge Parker's position, but who hoped out of the suddenness and disorder of 1t all to reap a reconsideration of the vote nominating Judge Parker, and a nomlna- tion of their candidate. All of them were so far as I knows men who opposed Judge Parker from the beginning. Many even of those who voted against the nom- ination voted for the reply to be sent The telegram from Judge Parker as printed brought great relief to his friends and the delegates.

was that he wanted to see how a

friends of his life. a Cherokee boy,
and the two congenial spirits started
off according to their own fashion and
their own hearts. They took no tent
and they cooked by whatever sort of a
fire they could make in the woods of

such garb as necessity demanded and
they trapped and killed and sold their
prey TO the ranchers near by When
the rains drenched them they sought
shelter at some ranch, but they hied
back to the woods as soon as they
could in safety. They sold coon skins
and deer skins and they lived on the
meat of what they killed.

sen could get. therefore he was happier

happenings that he promised himself to

he saw the incident of Pedersen's re-
