satlons of the pTeconvention proceed
lngs with his hat. No sooner had he
landed In Denver under an enormous
panama of weird shape than the local
cartoonists seized on him and drew
funny pictures which are four-fifths

''No, sir" declared the senator when
his friends began to kid him about
his panama, II shall continue to wear
this hat no matter what the cartoon
lists do. This hat has a history. 1t
cost $3.50 and was presentd to Big
Tim Sullivan by a friend Of his. They
guyed Tim till he got cold feet and
gave 1t to Mllt Gray. Milt wore 1t
at the race track until life became
burden for him, and then | fell heir
to the hat. | never expect to have an
other lid that cost $3.50 and I'm going

yentlon as It has never been shown
before. There were lot of Indians here,
and they attracted no end of atten-

In this crowd, and she charmed all
beholders. She Is Mrs. Burlington, the
better half OF Tom Burlington, a for
mer Cherokee chief and one of the Ok
lahoma delegates. Although she has
the raven tresses Of the Indian woman
and also many Of the features of the
redskins, she is woman of refine
ment and has n grace and charm about
her that would fit any drawing room
Some of her gowns drew EXPLANATIONS
of delight from the women Her hus-
band Is a banker and stock raiser and
is worth more than 100000 In addi-
tlon to being big politically he is big
physically, standing six feet six inches
in his stockings. He controls 1000 or
