procedure of the first session, the Sc
LECTION of the temporary chairman,
and, in great many cases, though
not always, the program making of
the whole convention, temporary and
permanent organizations, nominating,
and platform building.
1t is the chairman OF the National
Committee who calls the convention
to order. usually about noon upon the
day set. This year the Republican
National Convention will be called to
order by Harry c. New on June 16,
and the Democratic Convention will
be called to order by Thomas Taggart
on July 7.
The convention called to order, the
chairman requests the secretary to
read the call for the convention,
which Is done. Then the roll call Is
gone through, and this takes lot of
time. The next step is the announce
ment by the chairman that the COM
mittee offers to the convention as it's
temporary chairman the name of So
and-so. There are loud and pro-
longed cheers, and by a viva yoce vote
Mr. So-and-so is unanimously elected.

The Wizard.

Some years ago an expedition
from the University Of Pennsylvania
was sent to one OF our Southern
States Tor the purpose Of observing
a solar eclipse.
Tho day before the event one OF
the professors said to an old darky
belonging to the household wherein
the scientist was quartered.
Tom, II you will watch your
chickens tomorrow morning you'll
ffnd that they'll all go to roost at
eleven O'Clock"
Tom was, OF course, skeptical; but
at the appointed hour the heavens
were darkened, and the chickens re.
tired to roost. At this the negro's
amazement showed no bounds, and
he sought out the scientist.
"Perfesser," said he, how long
ago did, you know dem chickens
would go to roost?"
About a year ago. said the pro-
lessor, smilingly.
"Well, ef dat don't beat ALL" was
the darky's comment "Perfesser, a
year ago dem chickens want ever

TeIephoned Burglars.

A telephone girl tells The Phila-
delphia Record OF a new use OF the
telephone. Three women occupy a
house near where the girl lives. They
had been away in the country for
some time when one day the operator
was surprised to- hear one OF them
call up pay station, asking for her
own home number. The girl says: Il
rang the phone several times, but. as
the house was closed, there was no
answer. Then my curiosity got ths
better of me and ! disclosed my iden-
tity and asked why she was calling
her own number when she knew the
house was closed. That's just the
point came the response over the
wire rather tartly; we wish to scare
any burglars away If there are any

family had long known that the duke

The duke insisted with great empha-
sis that the Duke de ChauInes had not
died from an overdose Of morphine or
other drug, and repeated that since the
marriage of the young couple was
finally decided upon the duke had
broken wholly with the drug habit.
though he knew that total abstinence
was dangerous IN his condition.
De Luines laid great stress upon De

himself and be worthy OF his young
American bride. The Due de Chaulnes
