stock had been selling relatively high.
The weakness in these issues naturally
exerted disturbing influence over the

but in the absence Of important selling
pressure, declines were checked al about

CAPTURES THE
ILLINOIS DELEGATION

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Speaker Cannon
having won his battle before the
Illinois legislature has made It GER
tain he will have the Illinois delegation
in the next national republican con-
vention. His fight was to prevent the
selection of delegates to the national
convention by a primary election, as
provided by the Illinois primary law
pending in The legislature. Under the
law as 1t passed the house Speaker
Cannon would have to take his chances
with the people. .
The passage OF the new primary law
threatened to break up all his plans.
So he went to Springfield, rallied his
friends and made a successful attack
upon that one feature OF the successful
bill.

wider, at most, than a mile and a
half-set beneath the bluest of blue
skies, and seeming to rest on water
whose transparency and brilliancy of

Bermuda. the home of the Easter lily.
AS the incoming boat skirts the
shore, the lily fields look from a dis
tance like white summer clouds
dropped down from the sky upon the
green islands. Lily fragrance fills the
air and is blown by the wind far out
over the water. Coming nearer you
see the fields more clearly-rows up
on rows of blossoms, tall, stately and
snowy white. 1t is very beautiful.
1t was not until the early SOS that
the Bermuda lily became well known
in the United States. 1t is said that
a Philadelphia woman. returning from
the islands, brought home a plant to
bloom. This came to the attention OF
w. X. Harris, an enterprising florist
of the Quaker city, who purchased a
