sister to me-" said the heartbroken
young man, twill you not give me one
kiss of farewell?"
She assented, albeit coldly.

CONVENTION NOTES.

With the arrival of most of the state
delegations in Chicago, the vice-presi-
Dental nomination became the chief
topic of discussion. Many asserted
that Dolliver was certain to be on
the ticket, but the chances of Sherman
of New York and of Vice-President
Fairbanks grew better. 1t became
evident that there would be warm
contest over the platform as many
leaders urged that the prepared reso-
lutions be materially modified and the
Taft adherents insisted that they
would not permit this. Speaker Can
non made hurried trip to Chicago to
confer concerning the anti-injunction
plank.
The Republican national committee
completed the hearings of contests in
volving 219 seats in the convention.
Of these ZIG were given to Taft and
three to Foraker.

How Il Works.

Once there was a struggling young
author who was blest with many
friends, all of whom told him that he
was the coming great writer of the
country.
So one day a bright thought struck
him. He said: g
Il will publish my book, and all my
friends who admire it so much will buy
my book, and l will be rich"
So he printed his book.
And all of his friends waited for
him to send them autographed copies
of his book.
And so his books were sold as junk.
And ever after he didn't have any
friends-Success.

his native wife clinging affectionately

known and hidden force. c. j. Ander-

Goldfish Co.. looked again on civiliza-
ton for the first time in ten years.
Anderson with his family were pas
sengers from Unga by the codfisher w.
II. Dimond, which arrived after a pas
sage occupying 81 days from the
northern fishing grounds. He is a
hardy Norseman and his wife is the
child OF Russian father and ma
tive OF Attau, the most westerly OF the
American northern possessions. Maria
Christina and CharlesJ ]. are the names
OF his two children. Both the girl and
the boy, who are z and 5 years OF age
respectively, are husky and healthy
looking. Oftentimes they have listened
to the stories OF this strange southern
land from the lips of their father and
the dreams born of the wonderful tales
OF the busy outside world far away
from their Arctic home were for the
first time realized when the schooner
sailed In through the Golden Gate.
Both the children and their mother
were brimful of happiness and high
spirits. When Anderson has placed
them at school TO be educated up to
civilized modern standards 1t Is his an.
tention of returning with his wife to
Unga, where he has made his home
for the last quarter of century.
In conversation. Anderson said that
recently a saloon had made its appear.
ance at Unga In proximity to church
which has just been established for
the benefit of the native fishermen. A
strong movement Is on foot to prohibit
the location OF any saloon nearer than
