Men

nently at Chicago become subject to the
keenest observation. 1t is of course APP
parent that all interest concerning the
nomination for chief place on the ticket
has become almost quiescent on ac-
count of the certainty which attends
the candidacy of President Roosevelt.
This foregone conclusion robs the po-
Etical game OF much of its fascinating
Indebtedness. but 1t may have the eff
feet Of giving the vice presidential
nomination an unusual prominence.
The choosing of q candidate for sec
ond place has almost always been reck-
oned as a perfunctory matter. There is
more than one instance on record. how
ever, In which the business has been
conducted with considerable animation.
Such an exception was furnished by
the Republican convention of 1888. The
convention city that year. as it will be
this. was Chicago. BY a similar COIN
cidence the nomination Of General
Grant was as predetermined as Is that
or President Roosevelt. He was chosen
unanimously on the first ballot Then
the actual struggle began. Four cam
dldates for the vice presidency were
proposed. They were Benjamin +.
Wade Of Ohio. Henry Wilson of Massa-
chusetts, Schuyler Colfax OF Indiana
and Reuben e. Fenton of New York
AL at once the Office of vice president
was transformed into the very ultima
Ihule OF political aspiration. There
was poured out in that convention hall
wealth OF political oratorical ingenu-
ity that was fairly bewildering. Five
ballots tailed to do more than bring
further chaos. At that stage the con-
vention adjusted It's differences and
united on Colfax.
There Is an impression extant that
the choice of vice presidential candi-
GATE Is. as a rule. left largely to the
nominee for first place and his friends.
1t Is OF course reasonable to suppose
that an individual who is personally
obnoxious to the chief candidate can
not add strength to the ticket Still 1t
happens frequently that the vice presi-
Dental nominee is not precisely at one
with his mate in some Of the lesser po-
littcal dogmas. Instead of being a mis-
fortune. this variation is often a posi-
tive benefit to the party, because 1t
makes 1t possible for men OF various in
terpretations of the same political
creed. united as they are on essentials,
to assemble under the same standard.
For this reason, too. the candidates are
usually chosen from states widely sep
arated. Not infrequently an aspirant
for second place is selected from state
whose political status is ma tier of un-
certainty and whose coveted electoral
votes hang in the balance. This dip
lomatic procedure has done coed serv-
ice in the past and is likely to continue
- an approved expedient. sometimes.

Thorpe cared for just three people
and none of them happened to clash
with his machine. They were Wallace
Carpenter, little Phil and Injun Char
ley.
Wallace was always personally agree,
able to Thorpe. Latterly. since the cree
ton of the mill, he had developed unex-
pected acumen in the disposal of the
seasons cut to wholesale dealers III
Chicago Thereafter he was often in
the woods both for pleasure and to get
his partners ideas on what the firm
would have to offer. The entire respon-
sibility OF the city end Of the business
was in his hands.
Injun Charley continued to hunt and
trap in the country round about Once
or twice month the lumberman would
snowshoe down to the little cabin at
the forks. Entering, he would nod brief

As for Philip, he was like some
strange. shy animal, retaining all it's
wild instincts. but led by affection to
become domestic. He drew the water,
cut the wood-none better. In the even
ing he played atrociously his violin
none worse-bending his great white
brow forward with the wolf glare in
his eyes, swaying his shoulders with a
fierce delight in the subtle dissonances
of the horrible tunes he played. And
often he went. into the forest and gazed
wondering at occult things. Above all
he worshiped Thorpe. And in turn the
lumberman accorded him good ma
tured affection.
Financially the company was rated
high and yet was heavily in debt This
condition OF affairs by no means con-
stitutes an anomaly in the numbering
business.
The profits Of the first FIVE years had
been Immediately reinvested in the
business. Thorpe intended to establish

At any moment that Thorpe had cho-

made he could have, 80 to speak, de-

stead of undertaking more improve

some money, he could have divided the
profits OF the seasons cut But this he
was not yet ready to do.

There are good many prominent
Salt Lakers who cannot understand
how Il happened that the Hon. Perry
s. Heath came home" SO suddenly the
other evening after the most dligent
search had been made for him by the
officers OF the federal government for
10 days or more previous. Particularly
are they mystiled over the fact that his
whereabouts seemed TO be entirely un-
known to his newspapers and at his
home and usual haunts. Al none OF
these was one word ever SAID during
the search about him being IN Denver
He might have been In Cuba, Yellow
stone Park or Manila. but none Of his
employees know They were In the
densest ignorance. But like the pub.
lie they were enlightened the night OF
the appearance OF the News" article.
Mr. Heath came home from Denver
and the following morning presented
himself at the office Of the United
States marshal only to ascertain off,
clally that he was wanted as a witness
In Brooklyn, and that owing to the
fact that he could not be located, the
papers had been returned with mo SER
Vice marked upon them.
II Is a singular and impressive fact
that these papers We're calculated TO
cause his appearance In court as a
witness In N case arising out Of the
salaries and allowance department OF
which his friend Beavers had charge
under his direction,
But there is another coincidence
that Is causing a lot Of talk, and that
Is the second set Of papers that came
for Mr. Heath. and which. by the way,
we're served upon him. These required
him as q witness IN one OF the Machen
cases In the free delivery department
and cannot result IN extracting from
him the testimony that would necessar-
lly have been obtained IN the other
case.
And thus Mr.. Heath was cited to
Washington instead Of TO Brooklyn.
