Sure thing. OF course Tammany Is for

SO spoke Big Tim" Sullivan Of Tammany
hall when he slighted from one Of the
special trains carrying that organization
back from the Denver democratic national
convention when 1t arrived In Omaha yes
terday afternoon. The chief was sur
rounded by a number Of his braves who
echoed the expressions Of their leader and
asked the interviewer what else there was
20 say.
Bryan Is democracy's candidate for pres
Ident and Tammany is for that candidate, %
continued Sullivan. Hasn't Tammany al
ways been for the party's nominee? Then,
why do you ask II Tammany is for Bryant
OF course Tammany is for Bryan, other
wise we should not have voted for him
IN the convention. Honestly. sincerely and
truly. Tammany is for Bryan; whole
heartedly. from the ground up. and there
will be 10 knitting. VT will get out and
work for him and for the success OF the
ticket and there will be no sham, make

/ don't mean to say that we have only a
fighting chance. but l do say that we have
a very good chance OF winning.

"Tammany is likewise satisfied with the
vice presidential nomination. Don't ask
me IL New York would have been better
satisfied II a New Yorker had been nomi-
mated. for we could have named the can

OMAHA WILL GET THE EAGLES
Sure for 1909 Convention, Says Tim

BIG TIM WILL WORK FOR OMAHA
He and other TRmmany Lender Who
Are Eagles Are shown Town by
Local Birds and Make
Pledge.

Omaha will surely get the Eagles con-
vention in 1909"
This was the parting assurance given by
big Tim" Sullivan Of Tammany Hall to
A. V. Dresher as they alighted at Union
station from the big 72-horsepower ma
chine OF Herman B. Peters, after a ride
around Omaha.
Charles E. Black, Emil Brandeis, Her
man B. Peters, George ". West, Al V.
Dresher, John A. Tuthill, Thomas A. Fly,
Charles Harding and other member Of the
Eagles fraternity IN Omaha met the Tam
many special on its arrival in Omaha yes
rerday afternoon. Tim Sullivan and
many other members Of the party were
taken for an automobile ride around Omaha
for the express purpose Of showing the ad-
vantages Of Omaha as a convention City
and to work for the Eagles national con
vention for Omaha in 1903. Tim Sullivan
is the man who can bring the Eagles to
Omaha, they DO say.
Mr.. Sullivan, We have been trying hard
10 get this convention and want to ask
you what you think our chances are, now
that you have seen the city?"
This question was put 10 Mr.. Sullivan
by Al V. Dresher.
It's n Cinch Now.
You have got this convention now" re-
rlied Mr.. Sullivan. Our lodge at home has
passed a resolution 10 try for the conven-
tion for New York for next year, but when
! get back I will use my influence to have
that resolution revoked and will work for
Omaha. I will go farther, and when ! go
to Seattle this fan ] will get up in my seat
md declare in a loud voice that ! am for
Omaha"
Those who know Mr.. Sullivan ray that
he IS q man OF his word and not sccus-
toned 20 throw out idle guff. An instance
OF this came up at the station. II had
neared the time for the train 10 pun out
and Mr.. Sullivan was not there. Bets were
offered that he would be on time, with
no takers. Al two minutes before G Mr..
Sullivan appeared and one OF the Tam
manyites remarked. Tim Sullivan always
keeps his word and Is never late"
Another little incident az interest arose
as the party was driven around Omaha,
'Would you Ike 20 see your theater:'
asked a member OF the reception COMMITTEES
Of Mr.. Sullivan. My theaterF" replied Mr..
Sullivan. in apparent surprise. Il have no
theater here" "Oh. yes. you have; DOM
you know that you own the Burwood
theater."
Mr.. SULLIVAN professed Ignorance. but
those who know him say he Is . master
Of detail and knows all about all the vasi
interests held by the Sullivan q Considine
company.

Last Work Done-"Old Mag" is dead
We refer to the old gray mare owned by
G. w. Golf. The old horse carried the
family 10 Griebnow's grove last Sunday
for a picnic dinner and there gave up the
ghost. "Old Mag" has been a familiar
figure on our streets for the last eighteen
years. She was called upon by the public
for all kinds Of services and. in fact. was
used as a general utility animal by every
one who had a short errand or message to
deliver. Very few who have resided in
Pierce for any length OF time but have
some time or other called on "Old Mag"
for a lift of some nature. She was as
steady as a clock and as honest as the day
is long. Her intelligence was at times
seemingly human and, IN fact, she had
more intellect than some human beings.
"Old Mag was % years old and the mother
Of thirteen precious colts. Mr.. Golf has been
the proud owner for the last eighteen
~years.-Pierce County Call.

Absence Of Mind.

Many amusing anecdotes are told Of
Bishop. Burnet's absence of mind, but
few perhaps are more striking and
have been less repeated than the fol-
lowing, which Lord Oxford used to re-
late:
Burnet was once dining with the
Duchess of Marlborough after the
great dukes disgrace. In the course Of
conversation, speaking Of Marlbor-
ough's great qualities, great services
and great fall, Burnet compared the
duke with Belisarius, the great Ro-
man.
But how In reason" exclaimed the
duchess, could SO great a general be
abandonedT'

The Count Too Touching.

In the long corridor of an uptown ho-
tel they tell of a certain foreigner who
until recently held court there of wen
ings, AT last he disappeared, and then
each of the men who had nightly been
entertained by his flow Of anecdote
and his abundance of witty stories con-
fessed that he had lent the count
various sums, ranging from 500 up.
The total seemed so formidable that a
movement was set on foot to bring the
defaulter back, his whereabouts hay
ing been ascertained. But funds were
needed for the purpose. One of the
big men of Wall street who was a
creditor ON the counts books to the ex-
tent of $500 was approached for a sub
scription.
mot on your lifer' said he. "I don't
want him back. He'll borrow more
money from me If be gets in town. But
I'll subscribe $25 toward a fund to
send him back to France If he'll agree
to sail from Boston."-New York Globe.

Recipe For MAKING Money.

First catch your capital, however
small, or If homemade, such as from
savings, so much the better. Place In
a steady, secure position, where 1t will
not be disturbed, and allow to stand.
Skim off all hat accrues without waste
and with that at the proper season
make a stiff paste of business, In
which place your capital or as much Of
1t as you can S with advantage. A
little ripe Judgment should be added.
Season with hope and enterprise and
stir briskly with a bunch OF fresh
energy. While your pie is cooking
watch it carefully yourself and sec
that nothing goes wrong. Keep up a
good fire until It begins to brown and
don't take too much off the top for
tasting until the whole is well cooked;
then enjoy the result-London Graph

vastly interested in the movements of
Dave Ryder, one of the summer board
ers at Cassell's, who would stroll osten-
tatiously toward the village, only to be
seen returning from the opposite direc-
ton an hour or SO later.
This action was suspicious. Detec-
tive Samuel took the trail, and, like the
human bloodhound that he was, he
Swallowed the suspect. 1t was rather
disconcerting to have Ryder turn after
a mile or more had been covered and
rudely command him to be on his way.
Ryder even called him little boy"
Sammy's heart rose hot within him,
and he assured himself that Ryder
must be a very desperate criminal.
But practice makes perfect, and the
time came when Sammy learned to
maintain a safer distance between him
self and the object of his suspicious,
and at last he tracked him to his lair.
The lair was disappointing. 1t was
not a cave reached through a cunning
ly hidden trapdoor. 1t was not eve a
rude shack such as the one in which

1t was Just a little nook in a bend of
the creek, with a fallen log for a seat,
and with his own sister Lucy sitting
there apparently waiting for the arrival
of the desperate.
1t was rather disconcerting to find
ones own family mixed up In such af-
fairs, but duty Is duty, and Sammy
wriggled as close as he dared and lis
tened to the low murmur of converse
ton.
1t all seemed absurdly simple. Ryder
was not planning a burglary. He was
kissing Lucy many times, and between
caresse they were discussing how best
to approach her father on the matter
of their marriage.
Judged by the stern, unytelding stand
ards Of Josiah Temple, Ryder was far
too gay a young blade to be trusted
with Lucy, who was destined to marry
a minister when her father could find
a minister of whom he could fully ap-
prove. Lucy feared to let Ryder speak
to her father lest she be forbidden to
see or speak to him. Ryder, on the
other hand, was urging her to consent
to q test Of fate.

and two-thirds of a cupful of water,
the other for a cupful of granulated
sugar and half a cupful of water. The
contents of both pans are allowed to
cook until the strip in them will spin
a thread when poured from the spoons
or make a soft ball between the fin
gers when dropped in very cold water.
When both are ready the strip in the
first pan is turned slowly over the
stif1y beaten whites of three eggs, a
continual beating going on during the
process. Then the second strip, with
the addition of a cupful of nut meats,
is turned over, and the frothy mass is
turned into a buttered tin and when
cool enough is marked into small

When Sammy
Turned Detective
By Mabel Herbert.
BY Mabel Herbert.
Copyrighted, 1908. by Associated
Literary Press.

Raised upon a diet of Biblical litera-
ture until he had passed his eighth
year, Sammy Temple took eagerly to
the nickel novels when at last knowl-
edge of their existence was commune
Gated to him. First he liked the
stories of men who sailed strange craft
in the sky above. the earth below or
In the waters under the earth.
Later these were as naught beside
the bold detective who could arrest q
band of counterfeiters single handed
and who ran murderers to earth just
to keep in practice for greater things.
Captain Beggs, the solitary town con-
stable, at once became a more impor-
tant figure than Ben Dwyer, who ran
the single engine which constituted
the motive force on the little branch
line. Sammy had liked to dream of
the day when he should be an en-
gineer, too, and would have charge Of
the great iron steed.
He had planned to sneak past the
switch at the junction some night and
III down the main line clear IA to
California, or maybe to Mexico, or
up to the goldfelds of Alaska. A fell
low could go anywhere on an engine
like that.
But after 1.-The Boys Own" and the
detective books the engine, tied to its
iron roadbed, seemed tame. Dwyer
was deposed from his pedestal, and
Beggs was installed thereon, although
he was only a constable, which is not
at all ike a real detective.
Detectives are people who tell con-
stables when the latter have the right
prisoner, and he looked forward to the
day when he could show his badge and
say to Captain Beggs: "Oficer, there
stands the man who killed Cyrus
Blake. Arrest himi'' He was ready to
bet that old Beggs would be surprised,
and how the other fellows would stare!
But meanwhile there were oppor-
tunitie to do a little detective work
about the farm. and Sammy became
