GEOGRAPHY OF POLITICS.

Possibly the location of the republi.
can national convention in 1908 may
be made a test of the relative strength
of the Roosevelt n anti-Roosevelt
elements In the republican party.
Roosevelt's opponents to get the
convention for New York or Philadel-
phia, believing that the local senti.
ment of those towns would be against
him, while his friends seek to give it
to Chicago, st. Louis or any other west
ern city which is bidding for it, Roose,
welt and his policies being particular
ly popular throughout the Mississippi
valley and on the Pacific slope. At the
meeting of the national committee in
December the time and the place for
holding the convention will be deter,
mined on.
Thurlow Weed said it was the local
sentiment that defeated Seward in the
Chicago convention in 1860 and nom,
mated Illinois favorite son, Lincoln,
Seward had a long lead over Lincoln
on the first ballot, but Lincoln almost
tied him on the second ballot, and he
carried the convention on the third.
Local feeling doubtless had much to
do with the defeat of Pendleton, the
Ohio greenbacker, in the democratic
convention of 1868, which was held in
New York, and the nomination of New
York's ex-governor, Seymour, who hao
not been thought of in connection with
the candidacy until after the ballots
had been taken. Cincinnati, the town
in which the convention of 1876 was
held, had something to do with turn,
ing the convention to Governor Hayes
of Ohio in the general windup. Wheth-
er locality will count for anything in
determining the republican presiden-
tial candidate for the platform ext
year is something ON which positive
opinion at this stage is hazardous

The Doctor Away from Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much disap-
pointed TO find that their family ply
sician is away from home When they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp collie and cholera morbus re-
quire prompt treatment, and have IN
many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or a ply
stefan summoned. The right way IS
to keep at hand a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can prescribe
a better medicine for these diseases.

much pain and suffering and all risk.

The First Shave,

Primitive man was walking slowly

"Ha, ha! Ha, hal" laughed a great
rude wave, rolling up stealthily and
springing like a tiger upon him.
"Ha, ha! Ha, hal" gurgled the
foam as it sudsed around him, even

"That's-all (choke)-all right, old

TRUTH HOUR BEFORE cERE-

Young Widow Through Matri-
monial Agency and Met Her at
Home Of a Friend-left His Wife
When Girl Was Small and She
Was Later Adopted.

Riverton, Wyo., July 2.-Erastus
Singer, a well known and quite veal
thy ranchman OF this section and al
ways considered a bachelor by his
friends and acquaintances, recently be-
came engaged to marry his own daugh-
ter, and their relationship was only
discovered when they were about to
be married. Singers daughter is Mrs.
Nettie Farmer, a handsome widow OF
about 80 years.
Through Matrimonial Agency.
The denouement occurred at the
home of a friend of Mrs. Farmer near
Anaconda, Mont, where the wedding
ceremony was to have taken place.
Singer became engaged to Mrs.
Farmer through an eastern matrimo-
NAL agency, and he did not inquire too
closely into her past life. She stated
that she was a young and good look
ing widow of good character n that
her home was in Portland, Ore.
OlOUI bCI no VSS'
Singer did not go into details as to
his past life and admits having mis-
represented his age when correspond
ing with his daughter. She expected
to meet a much younger man than she
did.
When the couple met at the home
r.-.-Nu
of Mrs. Farmers friend, Singer
thought the face of his prospective
bride looked familiar and for a day he
tried to recall where he had seen the
Young woman before. The features
of the pretty widow haunted him, but
he did not dare to ask questions that
might seen pertinent until an hour be-
fore the ceremony. Then he requested
Mrs. Farmer to open the book OF her
past.
Girl Promptly Tainted.
When the story was finished, SIM.
ger exclaimed, with tears in his eyes:
You are my long lost daughter; am
your father"
Mrs. Farmer looked at her father a
moment and then tainted.
The minister who had been sum-
moned to perform the ceremony was
dismissed, but he was given a substan-
tial fee just the same.
Separated from Wife.
According to Singer, he married
years ago in the east and separated
from his wife, who was given the Gus
tody of their little blue-eyed girl, Net
tie. Singer began roaming about the
country and finally settled in Wyo-
ming. keeping his past a secret and
permitting his friends to believe he
was a bachelor.
Girl Was Adopted.
A short time after the Singers sep
arated the wife and mother died n
Nettie was adopted by a family nam
ed Cooper, which name she assumed
when she grew up.
In the meantime, Singer, who new

watching every shell, from the moment it was

bombardment continued it was sufficient proof
that the Fort had not surrendered But it sudden
ly ceased some time before day; and as they had
no communication with any of the enemy's ships,
they did not know whether the Fort had surren-

They paced the deck for the residue of the night
in painful suspense watching with intense anxiety
the return of day, and looking every few minutes
at their watches, to how long they must wait
for it; and as soon it dawned, and before it
was light enough to objects at a distance
their glasses were turned to the Fort, uncer-

climbed down 40 foot ladder and

about q half mile into the bowels OF
the earth. There. were rocks on either
side and the cave was about 10 feet
wide for the entire length. No wild
animals have found their way down
that tar and nothing which would
serve as the foundation for story.

ment or the aid Of men, thousands OF
acres of land in the Blue mountains
are becoming covered with dense
growth of young pine and fir. In the
district of MeRcham and Kamela,
where all the timber has been cut for
cordwood, there is now springing up
young forests. Out on the breaks OF
the muontains where there has never
been any timber except a few scat
tered pines OF sturdy growth, there
has sprung up within the last Ave
years thousands OF healthy trees.
The new growth Of timber Ia not
confined to any favored spot of small
extent, but extends over a bI Ioad area.
The mountain traveller who few
years ago rode through the mountains
and knew the guiding ridges aud easy
routes, Is today contu sed by continu.
ous wandering through timber which
once was an open country.
