A very valuable painting-a genuine
ola master-has been discovered in the
Puritan club on Beacon street, where
II has been hanging for about 20 years
on the walls, filling up blank space
unuoticed and ignored by the MEM
bars, or at best regarded as sort of
curiosity-as az. old painting which
somebody had no use for and conse-
Quently gave il TO the club.
The painting no longer hangs on the
walls of the Puritan club; it has been
transferred TO a storage warehouse for
safe-keeping. II is understood that
since the discovery" was made. few
weeks ago three bids have been made
for the painting-one of $4,000. one OF
$4,000 and one OF S250O0-but the
painting is considered to be worth
much more than $4,000
The result of IL all is that the paint
ing of the fellow with the steel corse-
lat" which has hung unuodced for SO
many years on the walls OF the Puri-
tan club has become the talk OF BCs-
ton clubdom For it has been discoy-
cred that this portrait is by one OF the
most famous of the Italian portrait
painters Of the 10th century.

HE HAS A CINCH
His Managers Say That First

CinCh,


Washington. Jan G--Supporters Of
secretary Taft are now talking Of
nominating him for president on the
first ballot at the Chicago conVen-

he can be nominated on the second
ballot. The champions of other can
didates are invited by the Taft man
ayers to take due notice Of this claim
This first or second ballot claim IS
based upon the assumption that the
24O votes Of the SOUTH now that Mr'
Roosevelt Is finally out of the race,
will go to Taft 1t is claimed that
Frank II. Hitchcock, assistant post
master general, who lined up the
southern republicans ostensibly for
Roosevelt. but in reality for Cortel-
you, has gone over to the Taft camp
and will take the south I'm camp with
him. TO the complete acceptance Of
this claim it is necessary to verify
only two facts First, that Hitchcock
has gone over to Taft; second, that he
would be able to deliver the south'a
2d0 votes.
1t WIN require 491 votes to nomin-
ate the republican candidate for pres
ident. Supporters of Taft declare that
without the south the war secretary
