put the dog off, if you please" Then,
to the Beast, Sweetness, he's going to
put you off,
Sweetness looked up at the thin
young conductor, then, growing and
wrink1ang up the skin of his upper Jaw,
he displayed his glistening teeth and
hungTily licked his chops. The con-
ducaor hesitated moment, then re-
treated to the platform Three blocks

You'll have to take the dog off the

I'm going further" said Beauty
|calmly, You put him off
The policeman reached for Sweetness
who yaWned- as if to say, Please go
way and let me sleep" but Incidentally
showed his teeth.
Il don't want to shoot him and l
don't want to club him." said the po-
liceman, and besides, I'm no dog

And he got off the car. At Z Fulton

FAVORS TWO CONVENTIONS
Congressman Humphrey Says Make
No Change.

Congressman Will E. Humphrey de-
clares himself against the suggested
plan of holding but one convention in
each county and one state convention
strongly against any change in the es-
tablished custom of holding two con-
ventions, the ultimate purpose of the
first being to send delegates to the re-
publicanse ma ional convention. and of
the second to nominate county and
state officers.
In EXPLANATION of his vie VS. Mr.. Hum
phrey now in attendance upon the ses-
sions Of congress at Washington has
addressed letter to the various mem
bers Of the republican state central
committee, az follows:
Il take the liberty of addressing you
relative to the question Of the republic
can party in our state holding but one
convention, and at that convention
nominating delegates to the national
convention and federal and state
tickets.
This would still necessitate two
county conventions, or the holding of
one early in June. and at that conven-
ton nominating a county ticket, and al
SO selecting delegates to the state con-
vention. These delegates to the state
convention would name both the state
ticket and the delegates to the nation
al convention.
An innovation of this character
should always be carefully scrutlnlzed
and adopted with caution. Departure
from long established customs often
is inspired by some supposed advan-
tage to some particular candidate or
faction, and to such change is always
likely to be charged to such motives
whatever the facts may be. Certainly
Won will agree with me that nothing
should be done at this time that would
tend to increase the unfortunate 1ac-
tional trouble that we all regret. but
which we all know exist in our state.
"S,1ch change. in my judgement IS
not so urgent that it should be adopt
ed at a time SO ulipIetelltiouS' III "
dition to the above reasons for the
continuance of the usual method OF
holding two conventions it seems 70
me that it would be inappropriate IL
not ridiculous. in a presidential year.
TO hold our convention and adopt our
platform prior to the national conven-
ton.
This letter is not written IN an al
visory spirit, but it is given, hoping
that it may be of some assistance IN
solving a question that is of concern 10
every true republican in the state OF
Washington"

Hundreds of Homes at Grand Rap

The City In the Grasp of the Great
est Flood 1t Has Ever known
The Bridges in Danger.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March, 26.-On
the west side of Grand Rapids 1900
residences are surrounded by water.
and the occupants are getting about in
boats if at all. The Grand river con-
tinued to rise throughout the night,
until it has gone beyond the top of all
gauges and exceeded anything known
in the history of the river. large
number of west side streets have be-
come veritable streams, with the water
rushing swiftly through them at
depth of three to five feet. The Grand
goes through this city on bend which
veers at the central part Of the city
toward the east The river is tending
to make for itself straight channel.
In the northern part of the city. near
the Grand Trunk bridge, the Grand has
sent out channel due south instead
of following the usual bend, and the
water is sweeping down the north and
south streets near the river.
Many west side residents awoke Sat
urday morning to find their bedroom
floors covered with from one to five
inches of water, although Friday even
ing they had supposed their houses
were in no danger. Occupants OF the
flooded houses have moved their be-
longings to the second stories, where
they will live until the flood recedes.
The bridges are In steadily increas-
ing danger.
The water is within foot of the top
of the piers of almost every bridge in
the city. The Edison Electric Co.'S
large plant will be put out of commits
sion by a very little more water.

A SEASON OF AWAKENING.
There Are Other Possibilities of Res
direction Than Those of
nature.

At this season of new beginnings there
are other possibilities of resurrection
than those that lie in the grass, the
shrubs and the trees. The outer world
after all means nothing unless it is mir
rored in the inner realm of human
thought, affection and imagination, and
if that inner realm is dull and cold ane
gray the pomp and glory, the promise
and potency of spring, are lost upon us.
The reflection of it in ourselves, which
is all there is to it, is paled and distorted,
like the image of fair woman in poor
ly silvered mirror Next to the moral
resurrection of which the Gospel tells
us there is nothing we quite so much
need as the freshening of feeling. The
repetition of accustomed acts and con-
slant association with familiar people
deaden responsiveness to wholesome
wife may be so used to each other that
the brightness of early married days be-
comes overcast, and many other associa-
tions in which we found such zest and
cheer become stale and Improbable.
There are other resurrections to be de-
sired than those of tulips and hyacinths
in your garden, and they may be
achieved as certainly If we have the will
to gain them and use the right methods.
AS you enter into the joy of the Easter
time. may you find deeper reasons for
gladness than any the awakening sod
can give-even the termination of all
that is most wholesome and human in
your own heart-Boston Watchman.

TO the others query. Il am practicing
law at Moray. It's only a country town,
but 1t has asfuture before it. I've been

day, and have been away from Nan

He laughed gayly. Jerome's lips.curled
under his blonde mustache. 1t was easy
to place his old friend. He was country
lawyer and a family man.
What of yourself?" Jones asked,
after a little. You know the class of 1851

Jerome shrugged his shoulders. What
fools we were! 1t took me two years to
get rid of the idea that it was my mis-
sion to make the world better. Then |
burned my manuscripts, locked up my
pen. and went into the wholesale grocery
business in Chicago.
"Youl A wholesale grocer! | wish you
