THINGS LOOK DIFFERENT.
Washington Begins to See the Prob,
ability Of Gov. Johnson's
Nomination.

Washington, D. C,-Well Informed
political observers who survey the
country from Washington have noted
a wonderful change In the campaign
for the Democratic nomination at Den
yer within the last week. No so very
long ago It was taken for granted that
Col. Bryan would be nominated with
practically no opposition-to-day it Is
a question whether he viii be nomin-

longer considered IN the running. In
deed, the s~uddcnness In which the
Minnesota man has come to the front
Is almost dramatic.
Reports pouring into Washington
from all parts of the country indl.
cate that the Johnson men have
made wonderful progress, largely
without noise or publicity, in sections
OF the country where they were not
supposed TO be at work at all.
As the situation stands today, prac-
ticaIly all Of the New England, all OF
the eastern states, and a large portion
of the southern states will send John.

into Washington regarding such
states as Utah, Colorado, Oregon,

In that a tremendous Johnson senti-
ment is appearing in Missouri, and a
large number Of uninstructed, or John
son, delegates being sent up to the
Illinois state convention, revealing AT
unexpected Johnson strength under
meath the surface. All political OBJ
servers in Washington are agreed that
there will be a lively contest for the
nomination at Denver.
1t is even claimed that two.thirds Of
the delegates to the convention will
be unpledged, and such Democrats as
Representative John Sharp Williams,
Bourke Cochrane, Senator Culberson
and Senator Daniels, declare that the
Denver convention will be a delIber-

of winning.

AN AlIBl.

A new story comes out OF the
West, which runs like this, accord
ing to the Tarkio Herald:
A Sunday School teacher asked
his class who led the children of
Israel ont of Egypt. No one answ-
cred. He again put the question a
little more ~pointedIy. Still silence
reigned. The teacher became i'm
patient, and said;
Johnny, who led the children Of
Israel out of Egypt?'
Johnny began to cry and said;
Pleas, sir, it wasn't me. We

Oh! DEAR! Oh!
MERRY WIDOW
HAT IS PASSE
Merry, Merry Girls Who
Originated Destroyer of
Mans Happiness Put the
Ban on Because the Hat
Fell Victim to It's Own
Excuses.

What, the Merry Willow" chorus
gone back on the Merry Widow hat?
Sucn astounding dislOyaIty TO the
comic opera that is going to pay sal
aries all summer seems almost in
credible, says the New York World.
Put it's a fact. The Merry Widow
hat has fallen under the ban of the
girls who created it.
The chorus said so itself by large
majority last week. The opera Is go
ing to celebrate June Is the two hun
dred and seventy-fifth performance or
its New York run and TO cCmmemor-
ate the event Henry w. Savage caDfed
to Paris. the birthplace of the enOrm-
Gus heaigear, for a stock of fifteen
hundred hats, one of which was TO be
presented to every woman who attend
ed the performance.
When the news reached the COM
pany a protest arose. 1t was pointed
ont that the Merry Widow hat was
fast becoming a victim of its own ex-
cesses and that the fashion it set was
already being killed by ridicule. lt
was further pointed out that the
Brobdingnasian bOnnets, after CASH
ing the necks of mankind in street
cars, screening the pulpit from the
congregation in churches and causing
trouble and protest everywhere, would
soon be used TO roof seaside cottages
and furnish covering lOr beach PaviE
ions. -
So the chorus Of THE MeTrS
Widow demanded that a quietus b
given to its namesake in headgeaf
with so uuch spirit that the manage
pIent cabled to Paris countermandins
the order and directing that some 9th.
er new wrinkle in hat styles be sub.
stituted. The reply came yesterday.
Instead of a shipment of Merry
Widow" hats will come many crates
Of Charlotte COrday hats, such as
Parisians are now wearing in their
simmer hauntS.
1t takes an expert to distinguish be-
tween the two styles, but the differ
enCe is there, just the same.
