ell hours conference with Bryan and
Kern, the subcommittee of the ma
tional Democratic Committee to-day
made it's selections of officres of the
committee. The choice of Mr.. Mack
was made possible only after the
New York leaders, Charles F. Muir
ply, of Tammany, and w. J. Con-
ners, chairman of the State Demo-

personal desires of Mr.. Bryan.
In the race with Mack were: Judge
NJ. j. Wade, of Iowa; T. E. Ryan, of
Wisconsin,; former Governor James E.
Campbell, Of Ohio, and Urey Wood
son, OF Kentucky.
So pleased was Mr.. Bryan that he
gave out a statement in which he
openly announced that the appoint
ment Is a recognition of Eastern Dem
ocracy and that fight will be made
to carry New York.
Mr.. Bryan was especially pleased
with the selection of Mr.. Woodson for
the secretaryship. He said that Mr..
WOodson had rendered long and con-
spicuous service to the party.
Mr.. Woodson was no. a candidate
fer either the craftsmanship or the
secrstaryshtp and told the members
Of the committee not to vote for him
for either position.
At the evening session of the sub
committee Henry Watterron, of Louis
Vile, was selected chairman of new

largely with the publicity problems.
The body which Watterson will lead
will be known as the newspaper COM
mIttee," its membership being drawn
from the publishers of all metropoh-
tan newspapers in the country who

under a clump of trees Friday morn

The finding of The body Of Hans,

woods near st. Matthews and vicinity
all night long in an effort to capture
Hans alive.
On the day previous Hans had met

 'Of course, the poor thing" meaning Mrs. Rogers, cant expect to go in so- ciety now, for not only is she In mourn ing, but is financially ruined. They say Ben Rogers didn't leave hardly anything for his wife and child. So, under the cir. cumstances, she can't possibly expect to continue in our set" So spoke Mrs. Van Horn, mother of Grace.
 And so Mrs. Rogers opened her beauti- full house to strangers, taking boarders to help defray expenses. Among the board CTS Installed in Mrs. Rogers house was an old man, stranger In the town. He had heard of Mrs. Rogers house upon hIs arrival in town and had gone there dl- no references as to character Mrs. Rogers declared that his kind old face and low, sympathetic voice were quite enough to warrant her in admitting him as guest into her home.
 Why, the poor old man Is crippled '' exclaimed Pauline when she came in from school on the day of the strange board CTS arrival. See how he limps, mamma And his hands tremble so on his camel" The old man alluded to was walking about the front yard and Pauline had caught sight of him from her mother s room window.

 But suppose the other boarders should make an objection to your keeping me a nameless beggar, one might say-in your house?'' asked the Old Man.
 But nobody except mamma and I will ever know your circumstances" said Pauline Its very hard to be poor, sir, and as mamma and have had taste of poverty we know all the more how to sympathize with another fellow creature In distress. You shall have all the attentions that we have been in the habit of showing you, sir. Somehow, think of my own dear old grandpa, who died several years ago, when I look at you. It would have been very hard to bear had anyone been unkind to him because he couldn't pay his way. Dear old grandpa, he was very poor, too, for he gave all his wealth to his sons-my papa being one of them. And papa gave him a home till he died. Then dear papa made some unwise investments and lost all he had gotten from grandpa. So, you see, l know that 1t is very hard to be poor. But let us not talk of 1t any more, for the day is so warm and you need a nap under the trees. Cone"
 ''Yes, the day is warm," said the Old Man, and I've decided to go into the country for the remainder of the sum- mer." Pauline looked at him in astonish- ment, and saw him smiling most gentle and glorious smile. "Ah- my little treas

LITTLE PAULINE ROGERS
BY HELEN DAVIS.

Pauline Rogers was a quiet, sweet-tem- pered girl of 14. Her mother was a widow, and kept a few boarders to help out with the living expenses of her little daughter and herself. After the death of Pauline's father-which occurred year before this story opens-many of the little girls former friends became rather cool in their manner toward her, feeling that the daughter of a boarding-house keeper was not their social equal. Paul. ines father had failed in business just before his death, his financial loss proba- bly being the cause of his sudden illness, which ended so sadly for his wife and daughter
 At first the changed attitude of her friends caused Pauline many very un- happy hours, but her mothers consolation loss of friendship of such girls who looked more at the social position and financial standing or the parents of their associates than at the little comrades themselves. One girl especially that Pauline had been very fond of, Grace Van Horn, had openly cut Pauline soon after the news Of her fathers failure In business had been spread abroad. And even after the poor mans death, and when kind word was so much appreciated by his widow and orphan daughter, the vain little Miss Grace Van Horn did not show her old school friend enough respect to come and offer her consolation. The other girls of her acquaintance were very kind to her during the first few weeks of
