Miss Blanche Bates is, aside from
being one of the eleverest actresses on
the American stage today. a woman
with wonderful business ability. and
quite a considerable property holder in
various parts of the country. Tunis Il.
Dean, who is in the city representing

where, with her mother, she spends
portion of her time, and more recently
she purchased farm of seventy acres
near OssnIng. n. Y. which she is
converting into n summer home for
herself and her mother. Miss Bates
tells an exceedingly humorous story of
the methods pursued by her in secur-
ing the deed TO the farm property.
She had passed the place frequently
on the train. and the quaint old farm
house, more than 100 years old, had ap-
pealed TO her fancy. and she determined
TO secure possession of 1t, if possible.
She opened negotiations through her
lawyer, but he was unable TO perfect
the deal. and she took the matter in
hand herself Visiting the property, she

farmer, and by the use of Establishments

The Primary Pledge--Organize Now.

ment and in the nation. It does not
mean that those who exert themselves
to secure a good platform will be
bound to support a bad platform -
that 10 a question which each must de-
termine for himself-but IL does mean
that the democratic platform shall
give voice TO the prevailing sentiment
OF the democratic party, and that the
party shall take the country into its
confidence. The pledge proposed is a
primary pledge--because the people
speak at the primaries. The national
convention is attended by delegates,
and each delegate represents tens Of
thousands OF democrats. The state
convention is also attended by dele
gates and these represent thousands
Of democrats. The county conven-
tions are, as rule, attended by dele
gates, and these in turn represent hum
dreds Of democrats. At the primary
the voters speak for themselves: there
democracy has its citadel.

set for the meeting Of the members in
their various localities. The members

Professional gamblers who
have gone against all sorts OF
games the world over, from
she'll games to bucket shops,
have no hesitancy in saying
that the bucket shop is biggest

honestly run, the gambler has
fewer chances to win and more
chances to lose than in any
other skin game in the gamb-
ler's catalogue. But there are
lots of folks who think they
can beat even the bucket shop
