A Republican state.

Since the reccnt visit Of the demo-
cratic national COMMITTEES to Denver
there hes been . great deal Of loose
conversation to the effect that the
national convention would swing Col
orsdo for the democratic nominee.
This is very pleasant talk to dem
ocratio ears and no doubt it was made
70 impress the Aforesaid committee
with the idea that their coming would
have . great effect upon political con.
ditions in the state.
But II is q clear case Of counting
chickens before they are Matched.
There will be good deal of hurrah
about that democratic convention
and many people will be disposed to
look kindly upon the party for having
made its meeting place the city of
Denver.
But whom it comes to the actual
changing of votes-that will be an.
other story. There are several months
intervening between July and
November, and beyond doubt, any
persons who may have been inclined
~ switch to Democracy will make
up their minds before ballotinp day
70 stick by their party.
In this connection it is interesting
to recall what, il any, changes have
been made in the normal political
conditions Of states as Q result Of
holding Political conventions therein.
Republican national conventions
in the last twelve years have been
held in st. Louis, (19O6), and Miss.
oari went democratic a. usual; IN
Philadelphia, $1,000, and of course
Pennsylvania went republican; in
Chicago, 1904), and Illinois wen,
republican Is it had for two previous
presidential campaigns.
On the democratic side, the con.
vsntion was held in Chicago, (1S96)
and the state went republican; 1t was
held in Kansas City, $1,000, and
Missouri returned the usual demo.
cratic majority. In 1904, however
sitter two democratic conventions had
done their fatal work, Missouri went
rspubliosn, despite the fact that the
dsmscratic convention had been held
In st. Louis.
Thus, We see that the holding Of 9
national political gathering has very
little 70 do with changing the politi.
cal aspect Of state. States that are
normally republican or democratic
usually remain 20.
And 20 Colorado, whish has been

The record Of happiness in every
life is to be doing what you feel you
can do best, and to have your own
inglsnook. To do what you can do
best includes the entire gamut, from
housekeeper to social queen, though
1 should like to turn the gamut up
side down by putting the homemaker
at the top instead of the bottom OF
the scale. Your own inglenook you
must have, married or single, II you
would take into your life all the hap
piness 1t offers. and give out of
your life all the happiness it owes the

Took Novel to Read in Church.

The pastor of prominent Brooklyn
church got the surprise of his life
on a recent Sunday. He was about to
begin his sermon when book fell out
of the choir loft, narrowly missing him.
He picked 1t up, laid 1t on the read
ing desk, but had time to observe that
it was a popular novel. A young woman
member of the choir had taken the
book to church te read during the ser
mon. She might have been confused
over the mishap, but her companions
in the choir ave- that the incident
amused her.

Nothing on earth can smile but

Flowers cannot smile: this is charm

the prerogative Of man: 1t is the color
which love wears, and cheerfulness
and joy-these three. 1t Is light in
the windows OF the face. by which
the heart signifies it is at home and

smile IL the twilight that hovers gently
between both-more bewitching than

Owing to the law against issuing IL

vainly in Boston to obtain one, and
came here shortly after the license
bureau had closed. They then went
to East Providence, but were too late
also. and after falling In Pawtucket,
went over the line into Central Falls,
where City Clerk Crawford was arous.

the figures were obtained.
This list embraced the thirty-fve
