New York, June 13.--(Special)--on the eve of the Republican National Convention there Is strong undercur- rent of feeling here that unexpected and possibly sensational developments will occur next week at Chicago.
 All sorts of stories are afioat. the truth of which it is impossible to de- 3errnine. One rumor that will not down is that the thick -and-thin adwo- cates of Roosevelt's renomination have laid careful plans which they are prepared to spring at the psych ologi- cal moment to force the President to head the party ticket once more.
 According to this report. which is given with great detail. the President knows of this scheme and has commits stoned Senator Lodge and one or two other close friends to act for him when the emergency arises.t but what their instructions are nobody seems able to tell Another story Is that in spite of his refusal to consider the vice-presi- dentiali nomination Govarnor Hughes is to be forced by the influence of New York State politicians to accept second place on the ticket with Taft as the only means of preventing his renomi- nation for Governor, which the machine leaders here are anxious to forestail at any cost.
 There are whispers. too. that the un- usual activity that has suddenly prok- en out among candidates for the Vice Presidential nomination, a dozen or more of whom have come Into the field within the past few weeks is due to the unsatisfactory physical condition of Secretary Taft and the possibility that the strain of life in the White House will make another succession necessary before four years are up.
 The friends of sthe War Secretary ridicule this idea and point to the ease with which he has carried a heavy load of work for the past eight years in proof of their assertions.
 While 1t Is difficult to substantiate any of the many stories that have. been in circulation here since Congress ad- Journed the fact remains that among the delegates and politicians generally there is d feeling that some sudden ex- plosion or startling turn of affairs is likely to change the apparently cut and dried plans of the convention. and con- sequentiy 1t seems likely that the at tendance in Chicago will be the largest of any political gathering in the his- tory of the country.
 The most talked-about woman in America is Hetty Green, who recently startled New York by moving from her Hoboken fiat to one of the city's most fashionable hotels, giving dinners of gold plate consulting a beauty special ist and otherwise indicating an inten- ton of casting her line in the fashion-i able fshEpond.

GENIUS.

True genius is the child of Love and Labor.
The life story of the great ones who have won
the highest rank among their fellow artists-all
demonstrate these facts; that deep love, with
passionate, never-satsfied, longing for expression
in the highest form-constitutes the very essence
of genuine genius; that such love naturally weds
itself to endless work-as the groom to the bride
he adores-and that only such union has ever
brought forth those glorious achievements in art
or literature whose worth grows with time and
increases with the progress of the age.
If l have referred to the strange idea of the
popularity of dramatic genius which prevails
among the actors who most meet the mob 1t is
because many who listen to them fancy it is no
more difficult to write play than it is for this
type of actor to make that respectable appearance
in one which his easily enlarged head fancies is
evidence of genius.
The animated suppose that the playwright, like
this puppet, sis born, not made that he has only
to seize his pen, and under the mighty inspiration
of his unearthly genius, he can dash off master
piece with the same needless ease as that dis
played by the critics in preparing the oracular
manifesto, which the confident and assertive anna

own be the subject that you bring up. Learn
to be all things to all people. To avoid personal
rites or very decided opinions any subject says
the Ladies' Home Journal. You don't want to
give a TRADE against dishonesty to a man whose
father died in state prison for forging notes. You
don't want to object to the divorce laws when the
man you are talking to may have married di-
vorced woman. You don't want to talk about
beached hair to a woman whose hair is pro-
nouncedly yellow to discuss how injurious is
rouge and powder to the woman who is made up
in a most decided manner. In your heart you
may object to all these things, but you are not
giving expression just now to what you think;
you are simply making yourself pleasant to some
one whom you have met to-day, and may never
meet again. Talk about Egyptian mummies or
French politics, how orchids grow, the last new
play or the last song; but use good English,
speak as if you interested, and then you will
gain what you want-a reputation of being
charming woman socially.

AN OLD FAVORITE.

Way back in our grandmothers' libraries was
an old book called Charlotte Temple" which the
young person was not encouraged to read. 1t was
a sad story, and a bad story but true story in
all its characters and events. This probably gave
it its great popularity for the literary quality of
the work by means of the highest. Mis-
takes, too beyond the authors ken crept into the
later editions, yet still as book founded on fact
and dealing with actual characters and conditions
it had interest as kind of human document and
life history which has not permitted it to die
It seems that Charlotte Temple is not the only
book written by the author, many others were
lost in the of oblivion which swallows up in
Vulnerable productions of the writer's for one that
is allowed to live. But the history in this case
is settled to dot by an account of the identical
persons who figured in the story and were known
to meet the circumstances and relation there set
forth

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.

The Morning, Not the Evening, the Best Time,
the Matchmaker Says
'Most people," said the matchmaker, wind their
watches at night; but it would be better to wind
them in the morning You see, liable to
go to bed at different hours, and so wind our
watch at irregular intervals; and it is better to
wind it regularly. Then we are more liable to
forget to wind watch at night than in the
morning and so may let it run down. But we are
pretty sure to get up in the morning at our regu-
lar hour, whatever the hour at which went to
bed and so by winding it then may insure
regularity of winding; and the watch is brought
to mind then, when we put it on for use, and we
are less likely to forget to wind it. So morning
is the best time to wind watch if you can get
yourself into the habit of winding it them

Oh vision beatifc soft and light,
With misty opaescent tints made bright,
Ring dancing after ring, with wild delight
Small like an elin paything, first it came,
Then widening till the pretty little dame,
Was quite encircled by the cloudy frame.
The pretty little maid, who watched and dreamed,
Dimpling and smiling as she thought it seemed,
To symbolic tn unspoken hope supreme.
Impelled by hidden force, she forward bent
To catch upon her fingers-innocent,
The ring which to her mind the Gods had sent
It broke, alas, and vanished into air,
The dream of this dear little maid, so fair
And Joined the other dreams, so hard to spare.

contributed to any periodical. In the
February Bazaar he writes freely of
the tastes of the royal women who
are his customers. He says, among
other things:
'T may, perhaps, be permitted to
