A Bachelor Quest.

Charles Shaw. attorney, was forty
and unmarried He had proposed
twice and been rejected both times.
After that he refrained and became
cynical about marriage.
One night in returning from his club
to his bachelor quarters he witnessed
a collision between hack and a street
car. The street car couldn't turn out,
and the hack wouldn't, and so they
came together with a crash.
When the incident had reached its
END Mr.. Shaw resumed his way, but he
hadn't taken twenty steps when h.
made fnd on the sidewalk. 1t was e
white satin slipper, and 1t belonged to
woman with dainty foot. The find

to him ny caller at his Office the
lawyer would have answered that she
probably belonged to the Tenderloin
and charged $40 for the information
but as 1t va he made himself believe
that 10 was lar otherwise. AS he took
the slipper OF his pocket and looked
at 1t With the eyes of man of the
world and an old bachelor instinct
told him that the loser was damse |
that she was blond, that she had merry
blue eyes, that she had an arstocratlc |

dred. Real old solid romance was bub-
bling and seethlng in his bosom before
he went to bed that night. He may
have thrust the slipper under his pill

IL the slipper had looked cute and
dainty and aristocratic by ga7light 1t
looked 30 per cent more so in the sun
shine of the morning. Instead of dying
out, the romance dubbed the harder.
Mr.. Shaw felt that he had q case where
the jury couldn't go back on him. He
eazed long at the dainty thing before
he went to breakfast. Then he put 1t

set recommendations of the national
committee, and in 1892 the anti
Harrison men at first controlled the
national committee only to lose it,
and as a result scores of federal Of
fee holders were seated as delegates
and President Harrison as a result
was nominated on the first ballot,
only to be overwhelmingly defeated
at the polls. The republican who
captured control of the national
committee from Quay, Platt, Clark
son, Foraker and Wolcott and their
friends and used the control to seat
the federal oficeholder contestants
was John G. New, Harrison's con-
sui general to London, and father
OF Harry New. Harry New went
through this fight with his father
and he knows the ropes.
At st. Louis in 1896 Marcus A.
Hanna and is friends controlled the
national committee, and in the pre-
iiminaries they bundled the Thomas
b. Reed delegates and all delegates
opposed to Mckinley out OF the win
dow with scant courtesy and with
scarcely a hearing. 1t was on that
occasion that the late Sam Fessen-
den of Connecticut, had a wordy war
with Hanna and turned upon Joe
Manley of Maine, who had forsaken
Reed, with God Almighty hates a
gutter" For this fracas Fessenden
20 his last day was practically on
the shelf in Connecticut politics.

tional committee and the credentials

in years gone by been riotous and 1T
is predicted that similar scenes will
be enacted here during the next two
weeks.

Taft Against the Field.

Chicago, Juno 2.-What will
probably be the only contest over the
republican nomination for president
will be fought out in Chicago this
week and next before the national
committee. Taft has a clear majori-
ty of the delegates as elected and it
will be a case of the administration
candidate against the field. The hope
of the allies is that a sufficient num-
Der Of contests may be decided
against Taft, by the national commit
tee, as to prolong the fight beyond
the first ballot. From present appear
ances, there is little prospect of a
victory for the allies. A little less
than 200 contests are to be decided
by the committee, but Taft Is most
certain Of securing enough of the
contested seats to assure his nomina-
ton without a struggle.
