GOV. HANLY NOMINATES

A delegate in the Connecticut delegation
lent practically all Of the moral support
that was given the Hoosiers. Gov. ].
Frank Hanly Of Indiana. who was to pre-
sent the name Of the Vice President to
the, convention, mounted the Rostrum and
was greeted by Chairman Lodge, who
asked him what his name was. The gov
ernor introduced himself and the chair
man presented him to the convention.
Gov. Hanly is tall. black-haired clean
shaven man, with clear. ringing voice.
His delivery was deliberate, and one word
was well on its way before its successor
was pronounced. He drove home the
points of his address by stabbing the air
with the first finger Of his right hand
ana by nervous sharp jerks Of his head.
Impatient With Hanly.
After Gov. Hanly had been speaking
fifteen minutes. the galleries again grew
FESTIVE and began to cry. Nominate him
name him.
Chairman Lodge raped for order, and
when 1t was restored the speaker resumed.
The cries broke out afresh five minutes
later, but Gov. Hanly paid no heed to
them.
Finally. however, Gov. Hanly turned to
the noisiest section Of the gallery. just
back of the stage. and. shaking his finger
In that direction. shouted:
You keep quiet and I'll nominate him

the length of Gov. Hanly's remarks that
they jeered and boobed until the Coliseum
was in roars of laughter.
Cries of Boo boot" came from several
sections Of the gallery. and Gov. Hanly
had to cease speaking for some little
time.
Hanly Appeals for Protection.
One OF the characteristics of his de-
livery was the constant clapping Of one
hand upon the other. The crowd caught
this up at last, and every time the
speakers hands came together there was
a resounding crash of hands all through
the galleries.
As Gov. Hanly raised his right hand
the crowd. amid roars of cheers and ap-
plause. continued its uproarious mimick-
ing of the speaker.
II will be heard" shouted Gov Hanly.
II demand protection" he appealed to the
chair.
II am doing the best 1 can," replied
Senator Lodge. as he pounded vociferous-
ly upon the table.

stage to take a place Immediately at the
speakers side.
Chairman Lodge finally went to the
front of the platform. where he conferred
with Sergeant-at-arms Stone, and then he
spoke briefly and to the point, admonish-
ing the people in the galleries that they
were present as guests. adding: The gen.

Must Have Crocodiles and Palms


From the London Evening Standard
1T Is well understood that no Indian
landscape is complete without a palm
tree" Sir Bindon Blood has been telling
us this week. There is some truth in the
satire. and war correspondents, Of whose
barring out from the present expedition
we have been hearing. are not free from
blame In the matter. Earl Mimic has let
us into the story of dispatch from the
front in which the palm tree flourished.
A British force on one of the innumer-
able expeditions to the hills crossed a
river, and a war correspondent handed 10
the censor a dispatch telling how croco-
dies and palm trees people" the water
and adorn the banks. The officer had no
soul for poetry. my dear chap. there
isn't a palm or a crocodile within very
many miles," he said. What does that
natter? answered the correspondent.

die and 1t must have its palm tree

Alumni Banquet.

The Alumni Association of the Hays
High School held their annual banquet
last Thursday evening in the Bruins
wick Annex. Thirty-five members
were present and very pleasant time
was spent. The following members
from out of town attended the banquet:
Miss Mary Haffamier, Russell; Mrs. G.
A. Lester and Chas Brumitt, Wilson.
At the business meeting in the fore
part of the evening Roscoe Baumer
was elected president. Eva Campbell
secretary and Henry Winters, treasur-
er. The first two constitute the class
of 1908, who were admitted to member
ship. Dainty refreshments were SER
we'd in the hotel dining room at ten
O'Clock and the remainder of the even
ing was spent in dancing. Polifka's s
orchestra furnished the music for the
occasion.
An important amendment to the
constitution was passed by a vote of
two-thirds of those present. The
amendment authorizes any member to
bring one outside friend to the annual
banquet provided said member pays
dues for his friend. This will probably
add considerably to the enjoyment of
the annual banquet of the alumni.

Wakeeney BOYS Are Fast.

The Trego County Hays School ball
team came up to Hays last Monday
morning accompanied by about two
dozen rooters and defeated the Normal
8 to in as fast a game of baseball as
has been played on the local grounds
this year. Up till the first half of the
sixth inning neither side had scored
and the game looked like a 0 to 0 con-
test. In the sixth an error by Clyde
Bice at first sent the Normal up in the
air and another error by Bear and two
two-baggers netted three scores before
the teachers lighted No other scores
were made on either side and Wakee-
ney's 3 to o victory was bitter dose
TO the Normal. Wakeeney's battery
did fine work and Smeed, the slab ar
tist, was nothing short of phenom and
the Normals best hitters were unable
to locate his wonderful curves. Um-
pire Mike Merrill of Ellis declares that
Smeed is the best pitcher he ever stood
behind.
The following is the score by innings:

car acting?
''Fine.. But 1 had to telephone for a

''Did that consignment of govern
ment bonds come?'
"Yes."

ing his evening clothes and putting on
his overalls, went out on the estate

You ought to advertise

The milliner said, go dear
l cannot sell hat.
Mine are the best in the town
am quite sure of that"
The cricket said, '' o foolish lass,
Just let me put you wise,
Ladies don't know your hats are nice
For you don't advertise. -
The merchant looked at his clean,
bright goods,
Then murmured with a sigh,
The goods are clean and up-to-date
And yet no one will buy
The wise mouse said, ' You silly man,
No use to sigh or frown,
You'll sell your goods if you advertise
In the papers of your town."
At morn the grocery man had viewed
His well filled store with pride,
But, 'tNot a thing I've sold today, -
At night the poor man cried,
The bee crawled from the honey case,
And as he flies out he cries:
If you'll get rich or be up-to-date,
You'll have to advertise.
The purchaser looks for bargains
Before he spends his hoard,
But the bargains he sees advertised
Are from Montgomery Ward;
And so he spends his money there
So it is not at all surprising,
The home merchants all loose out
For want of advertising.
The druggist said. "How shall 1 keep
My drugs from getting old,
When every day try to sell,
But my stock is never sold?"
The beetle smiled and said, ''Dear sir,
1t should be made rule,
To teach the value of advertising
In your public school,
Some politicians met one night
To plan a great campaign,
All wondering what each one could de
