well prepared.
The selection of board of direc-

three tellers to receive the votes of
the stockholders.
When the nominations were called

and then the voting began. The
twelve candidates for directors are

from the white house that Theodore
C. Shonts. chairman of the Isthmean

resign his position or relinquish the
presidency of the railroad system for
which he receives a handsome salary
each year.
1t was not generally known that
shonts was in the employ of rail

ton produced distinct shock among
the friends of the administration.

of our growers and supplying the

The most unfortunate proposition
encountered by your manager was
that of handling your pears. The
pear season was fully on; without
having the time to find buyers for
carload lots, without knowing posi-
lively what merchants in the differ
ent markets would give you the most
satisfactory returns. and with the
prices going down rapidly in the
principal cities. Our Association
was as yet unknown. so that offers

Some intensely exciting knowledge had

with one hand on the kitchen table. In

her that he would clasp her in his arms

action served to steady him, and he
laughed, so softly and pleasantly that
