Taft Eisected Candidate.
After referring to Taft as "bisect-

one man in the white house at q
time" he adroitly turned his speech
into a panegyric for Bryan reference
to the Nebraskan leader bringing
forth a tumultuous demonstration.
Row From Pennsylvania.
The appointment of committees was
quickly disposed of. For q moment
the Pennsylvania row threatened to
throw the assembly into wild confus,
ion. That state presented two sets
of officers, representing two contest
ing factions. Ollie James of Ken
lucky, voicing Bryan sentiment, ell
deavored to refer the fight to the Gre
dentials committee. Against this,
Guffey and his lieutenants, pale and
gesticulating wildly, sought TO inter
pose protest. But it was Of no
avail. For a time pandemonium pre-
vailed. And then the smooth run

ton to the credentials committee,
where Bryan's adherents are su.
preme, and the Guffey forces retired
full of wrath and disgust.
Tribute to Cleveland.
The presentation OF resolutions Of
respect TO the memory of ex-President
Cleveland brought to the front two
notable figures, Judge Parker of New
York, the democratic candidate four
years ago, and Governor Francis o.
Missouri, one of the surviving mem-
bers of Mr.. Cleyeland's cabinet. The
resolutions as adopted emanated frOm
Mr.. Bryan's friends, and were pre-
scented by l. ~ Dunn of Nebraska,
who will make the nominating speech
for Bryan. They were no soon9r

Strong Move for Gray.

With it is a steadily swelling under.
current for the nomination of Judge
Gray of Delaware as vice president,
and this movement has assumed a
defniteness which promises to merge
soon with the seemingly overwhelm,

The opponents of Bryan are still
seeking to unite their strength against
him, with the hope of ultimately ac-
complishing his defeat.

Denver, July S-With cheers from
10000 threats, with the swell of ora
tory and the inspiring spectacle of
vast multitude of people, the demo-
cratic national convention began its
deliberations yesterday The session,
lasting a little over two hours, was
notable for its impressive magnitude
and spectacular effects rather than
for the business accomplished. l.
gave, however, an opportunity for
awakening the echoes with conven-
ton enthusiasm, the keynote OF the
speech of the temporary presiding
officer, Theodore A. Bell of Califor-
MIA, a heated skirmish incidental to
a contest in the Pennsylvania delega-
ton, and finally a unanimous tribute
of homage and respect to the memoir.
of the late Grover Cleveland But
the enthusiasm of the opening session
was comparatively brief, intermittent,
and tempestuous, without that long
sustained and frenzied clamor which
is still reserved for the future
Inc day was devoted chiefly to pre-
liminary formalities, and the com
mittees appointed are now at work
perfecting the permanent organization
to be presented today.

Meredith Nicholson's new book.
''The Little Brown jug at Kildare
has just been published by the Bobbs-
Mr.. Nicholson is the inventor of
fascinating titles and amazing plots.
The plot and title of his latest novel
break all records. They are differ
ent, strange, unusual. Here is some
thing new under the sun, and some
thing as delightful as it is new. For
once curiosity is not disappointed. 1t
is satisfied by the extraordinary.
Palates weary of old f1avors will find
the draught from this quaint jug Of
the imagination deliciously refresh
ing. The Little Brown jug at Kill
dare is not readily described in IA
miliar terms. If one calls it a ro-
mantle comedy it is only an approx
nation. Romantic it certainly is, and
full of ringing laughter, but "com-
edy'' hardly suggests the delicate
fancy, the airy turn of sentim ent and
the grace of style which make Mr..
Nicholson one of the most worthy
among popular writer's. and which he
displays here in greater profusion
than ever before. Moonshine and
mystery, love and laughter-these are
the keywords of The Little Brown
jug at Kildare. A bright jet of
sparkling humor plays through all it's
pages over rollicking adventures and
the light-hearted duel of men and
maidens. The maidens are charming.
Particularly we recommend Miss Jerry
Dangerfield, who ran the government
of a great state in a most spirited
manner. The men are new types in
fiction. For example, there is young
college professor who goes in for
reckless escapade, on the border line
of North and South Carolina, and
violates law, order and established
custom with a gay abandon that car
ries all before him.

self and said:
IF you had read the news of the day
instead of so many love stories you

the whole world is going crazy on the
subject of goats milk. The doctors are

been found the best thing in the world

But we have no children to drink
the milk and neither of us want to
take on more flesh" protested Mrs.
Bowser.
He smiled in a superior way, and
taking pencil and paper he sat down
and said:
Mrs. Bowser, can't you see bust
ness opening when it is held up to your
eyes? We don't want the milk and
butter from those goats, but we want
the money it will bring from others.

When Mr.. Bowser came home in the
middle of the afternoon the other day,
and when following close after him
came a boy and three goats, Mrs.
Bowser would have been very stupid
woman indeed not to realize that there
was something up. The goats were
placed in the back yard, each one be-
ing tied to the fence at a different spot.
and when Mr.. Bowser finally entered
the house she was ready to ask:
We'll. have you broken loose again."
Madam, I fail to understand you"
he stifhy replied. Am 1 supposed to
be some sort of wild animal that is
breaking loose now and them"
But you have brought home three
goats?"
Yes. three goats"
And perhaps you will explain why?
If you had brought three elephants or
giraffes l could understand that you
were going to set up a geological gar
den in the back yard. but fail to sea
