Dainty Miss Finds Popular Beau
Pawning Society Raiment in
a South Main Street
Shop

She is a sweet appearing girl and is
very popular with the hosts of young
men who daily call at the insurance
office where she is employed.
He is an exceptionally attractive
young man and is in great demand by
maids and matrons when little society
affairs are to be given.
Those acquainted with the young peo-
pie have noticed the fact that the
young man finds it necessary to call
at the office where the girl is employed
oftener than any of the other young
men.
A few days the young woman acct
dentally dropped her watch, ana upon
examination found it was necessary TO
take II to a jeweler for repair
She called the office boy to her and
requested he take the timepiece and
have it fixed, but neglected to designate
any certain shop.
The boy brought back a receipt, and
said the watch would be ready Satur-
day. The young miss did not notice
the slip, but yesterday went to the
shop for her watch.
When she reached the address on
South Main street, given on the slip,
she was QOTTlIlSu To lllu IlSI bcloNSo
watch had been taken to a pawnshop.
CHANGING apprehensively about, she
hurried into the place.
She hadn't taken two steps past the
door, when-horrors-she saw the pop
uar young woman. She started to
speak to him, but blushed instead. He
started to speak to her, but STAN
mered He could hardly believe his
eyes-she was getting her watch from
the pawnbroker. She could hardly be-
lieve hers. He was giving the pawn
broker his tuxedo coat.
He became so nervous he dropped
the garment. She became so nervous
she nearly left the shop without pay
ing for her watch
At last the young woman succeeded
in finding her purse and her money,
paid the pawnbroker and left the
place.
But friends notice the young man
has not called at her office since.

Continued from page one

cided by that body in favor of the For
aker people, new primaries must be
called.
Late yesterday a complete list OF
anti-Taft candidates for the county
state and congressional committees was
accepted by the election board for Guy
ahoga county, and there will be a
fight all along the line.
In Knox county seven men. all OF
whom are Foraker adherents. have en-
tered in the primaries against the Taft
candidates. They are running as in
dependents, and are not claiming to be
either Taft or Foraker men.
In Lucas county, of which Toledo
is the political center, there are two
tickets in the field. but both of them
have declared for Taft, similar sit
uation existing in Scioto county, where
opposition to Philo S. Clark, q Repub-
lican leader has brought a list of can
didates into the fight. Both tickets
favor Taft. however. and he stands
no chance of losing in any event.
Two Tickets in Toledo
The twenty-one congressional dis
tricts, at which delegates to the ma
tional convention will be chosen. date
all the way from February 10 to Feb
ruary II, with six as yet uncalled. Pri-
maries for the selection OF delegates to
congressional conventions as well as
delegates to the the state convention.
will be held next Tuesday in the
Fourth, Fifth, Twelfth, Fourteenth.
Fifteenth, Eighteenth and Twenty-frst
districts. Primaries for congressional
conventions will also be held on Tues
day in portions of the Seventh, Eighth
and Nineteenth districts. In the Sixth,
Ninth and Sixteenth districts Repub-
lican candidates for congress will be
nominated by the district primaries.
AS Taft will control the state con-
vention by an overwhelming major
ity. he is certain of the four delegates
at large, and in the First, Second.
Fourth, Fifth, Twelfth and Sixteenth
districts uncontested Taft delegates
will be chosen.
The Foraker people have consider
able strength in the Sixth and Tenth
districts. and the fight In the city of
Cleveland for state delegates applies
also to the congressional conventions
of the Twenty-first district. 1t is
therefore possible that there may be
contested delegates from these three
districts, and it seems to be at present
no possibility of breaking up a solid
delegation for Taft unless the creden-
tials committee of the national con-
vention sustains one or more of these
contests, if they are ever made.

INDIANS WANT ROADS TO
LET THEM RIDE FREE

According to the Southern Pacific of
ficials in this city, the right to ride
upon freight trains has been withdrawn
from the Indians from Yuma to Los
Angeles. Those interested are endeaV-
-oring to have the order revoked.
While protected by no contract, the
Indians have always been permitted to
ride on all freight trains of all rail-
roads in New Mexico and Arizona in
consideration of the fact that they
gave the railways free right of way
over their reservations.
The Yuma Indians feel badly about
losing the right to ride and say to take
It away from them is ike all the trades
