SWeethearts Yet.

The writer had a pleasant ex-
perience the other day in the re-
ceipt of q letter from q friend
whom she had not heard from
since 1882. He well describes
himself and his story in these
words: Can you recall d forlorn
looking youth, who had been
shut off from his sweetheart,
whose name was also May? My
May, in time came back to me
the dearest and sweetest, now
and then"
The young man and his sweet
heart had been separated by a
family feud. But their love
bridged the chasm, finally. In
the meantime, the writer's role
was comforter and friend to
both, but not in a clandestine
way. Though young girls, both
always recognized that the rights
and sincerity of the parents
should be respected. She"
did not change, and in time, OBJ
lection (which in this instance,
was only prejudice melted away.
The lovers were united. And
now after nearly a quarter Of q
century Of married life, the lover
husbands testimony is still,
that she is "the dearest and
sweetest.
The moral of this incident is
so sweet or rather it's several
morals, that wishing our read
ers to be uplifted by it, we re-
count it. The love that endures,
it might be safely labeled. Par
ents are usually correct in the
objections they make to their
childrcn's marriages but some
times prejudice only is the rea-
son. When it gives way it is a
moral victory for all concerned.
A Catholic fair and picnic will
be held on Sunday at Brusley
Landing, in West Baton Rouge
parish. The gathering will not
be without it's political signifi-
cence and a number of local men
will be present to push the claims
of Robert G. Wickliffe for con-
gress. They will take the early
train to Baton Rouge then to
Brusley probably by boat. AS
large a crowd as possible is de.
sired to go from West Feliciana.

SALISBURY.

The following poem written by Mrs. j.
" Holden was spoken by Nellie Blod-
gett at the dedication of the town hall
June 9Th.
The town hall in Salisbury
Had had its day
And like an old styled garment
Had become passe.
Away back in the time of go
The hall was built and considered fine.
But what was thought fine in $50
Was out of date in 1908.
Dressing rooms, dining room,
Kitchen and stage
Were the improvements required
To please this age.
At the March town meeting, 1908,
A vote was taken to appropriate
Several hundred dollars, money from the
town
And give the hall a new styled gown.
So the selectmen in town,
Nelson, Everts and Kent,
Had a disagreeable task
But right at it they went.
They secured the services of Mr.. Brown
A contractor from nearby town
With the favorable weather the work
progressed fine
And the hall was done in very short
time.
You can work for one man
And your work will be right,
But when you work for the town
You are in a sad plight.
If you try to please this one,
And then try to please that,
You will have lots of trouble,
And the thing will go flat.
So the best way to do
Is to do as you please
For your mind, if you have one,
Will then be at east.
There has been some fault found.
If not so, 'twOuld be funny,
When plan is proposed
That would cost the town money.
For Salisbury, you know,
Has always gone slow
And so kept tie town out of debt,
This, man or town, is the best plan
known yet.
| Are these improvements all folly:
If so considered by all,
We can't help but feel proud
Of this nice looking hall.
Now if some party from here are invited
away
To some other town to spend the day.
They can return the courtesy with very
good grace,
For they know they have got very
good place.
Give three cheers for Nelson,
The hall is just fine.
We know it has cost a round penny,
But a burden is light borne by many.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1908-06-26

The vote was taken amid great con-
fusion at first, which increased as the
totals climbed upward to the nominal
ing point. The result was never in
doubt as the totals of states were
heaped one by one upon another. There
We're scattering votes, but the great
crowd of delegates swelled the total OF
Sherman until it touched SIG. With
keen appreciation of the effect Of the
climax, Chairman Lodge announced
the result, reserving Sherman's sure
total until the last.
"Vice President Fairbanks gets one
vote; Governor Sheldon of Nebraska,
10 votes: Governor Guild of MaSsachu-
sets, 70 votes; Governor Murphy of
New Jersey, II votes. and James S.
Sherman of New York. SIG votes"
Again the food of enthusiasm was
let loose as floor and gallery joined in
pandemonium of demonstration for
the nominee.

LASTS F0RTY-FiVE MINUTES
Remarkable Demonstration at Men,
ton of Roosevelt's Name

The second day Of the convention
brought the long expected Roosevelt
yell, whirlwind of enthusiasm
which ragged within the vast amphi-
theatre of the Coliseum for fully forty
five minutes and for time presenting
TO the timid the spectre of a Roosevelt
stampede.
The presentation of the report on
permanent organization was the sig
nal for Senator Burrows to yield his
place as temporary chairman and to
escort to the platform Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts.
"The fevered fancy of an uneasy
dream" was his indictment hurled at
the visionary policies of opposition
parties. The applause had hardly died
away when Lodge launched his SEN
tence which electrified the assemblage
into its first real demonstration of wild
enthusiasm.
1.-THE president" exclaimed Lodge,
lis the most abused and most popular
man in the United States today" This
was the long awaited signal. Instantly
a shout broke from the galleries and
was echoed back from the floor, at first

Five minutes-ten minuteS-tifteen
minutes. There was no lull: no abate-
ment. A hoarse roar had taken the
place of the detached yells. -Four, four
four years more" came in a deafening
chorus from the full sweep of the gal
lery, as il preconcerted, each -four,
four" exploding like a boom OF heavy
artillery.
Fifteen enthusiastically minutes
twenty five minutes. Now delegates
were joining In the outbreak. Some
had mounted chairs and We're gesticu-
lating madly. One delegate far 10 the
left had torn off his coat and was
whipping 1t wildly about his head
Texas and Kentucky appeared to be
the centre of the agitation on the floor.
New York viewed the storm with calm
and so did Ohio, except, strangely, one
of the lonesome Foraker delegates,
Judge Shoup. who, mounted on a chair,
kept both arms in motion with way
ing flag and newspaper and his voice
joining in the general pandemonium.
Thirty minutes-thlrty-f min
utes-forty minutes-forty-five min
uteS.
A full three-quarters of an hour had
passed In this bewildering confusion of
sight and sound. For time fear was
felt by some that a stampede was i'm
minent. But the political generals
were glad to give the pent-up enthu-
siasm of the multitude this outlet of
expression, and at no time was there
the slightest apprehension among them
that the well-deyised plans would mis-
carry through some overpowering
| movement.

Both Saved Gallons.

Devoe is worth 81 or s. gallon, put
on; how much is another paint worth?
Depends on how many gallons you've
got to put on, to be equal to one of De-
voc.
Mr. Hall, Sheffield, Pa painted two
houses one coat, five years ago, lead land
oil, took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe
for same houses; had 10 gallons left.
Mr. N Avery, Delhi, N Y. owns two
houses exactly alike; painted one with
Devoe; took gallons. The other with
some other; took l2 gallons.
What'd you give for those off paints;
Bear in mind, you've got to pay for the
painting.

A Possible Bomb Explosion

An investigation made at Philadel-
phia into the cause Of the explosion on
board the Hamburg-American line
steamer Arcadia, in which three per
sons We're killed and number In
jured on Saturday, strongly tend to
substaptiate the theory that the burst
ing of bomb caused the damage. The
belief is expressed that bomb was put
in the cargo of the Arcadia before she
left Hamburg, with the idea of caus-
Ing its destruction while in mid-ocean.

Great Taft Demonstration

The close of his speech of nomination
was the signal for loosing the long
pent-up feeling of the Taft legions. In
stantly the Ohio delegates were on their
feet, other Taft states following, while
the convention hosts In gallery and on
floor broke into a mad demonstration.
Taft Taft, w. ii. Taft" came in a
roar from the OhiOans.
All semblance of order had been
abandoned and the delegates arena
was a maelstrom of gesticulating men;
the guldons of the states We're snatched
up by the Taft enthusiasts or borne I'M
der by the storm of disorder The band
was inaudible, mere whisper above
the deafening volume of sound, For
ten, fifteen, twenty minutes. this uproar
continued. 1t was a repetition of the
scene of Wednesday when the name of
Roosevelt threw the convention into a
frenzy, repeated In intensity and almost
In duration.
Amid this pandemonium and with
the galleries in full control. Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action to
again make the convention master of
its affairs. He ordered the rollcall of
states to begin for the vote on presi-
dent. Such CALL under such circum-
stances OF intense confusion, has prob
ably never before occurred in the his
tory of national conventions.
Cheers For Man Not a Candidate
The secretary was powerless to make
his call of the states heard above the
deafening clamor. Selling mega
phone, he shouted the roll of states
Alabama, Arkansas-but his voice was
swallowed up in the mad uproar. Grad
ually, however, the curiosity of the
multitude conquered their enthusiasm
