TAWNEY TO MANAGE
 CAMPAIGN FIGHT

Washington, D. C., June 20.-(Special)-- James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, will manage the republican congressional campaign fight next fall, with Representa- tive Loudenslager of New Jersey, as asss- tant.
 Before leaving New York for Chicago, MT. Sherman felt that he would receive the nomination for second place on the ticket. In conferring with fellow mem- bers of the committee he expressed the opinion that in the event of his nomina- tion it would be well to let MT. Tawney manage the campaign, because of his position as vice chairman, it is regarded as the best policy to permit MT. Tawney to at once assume active charge of the campaign and to be in no hurry to call a meeting of the committee to elect him to the chairmanship.
 Representative Loudenslager is the sec- retary of the committee at the present time and it is believed that he will be ee- vated to the more important position of vice chairman. Representative Mckinley of Illinois. who is treasurer, will be re- tained there.
 With Representative Sherman a part of the national ticket, Representative Mann will probably succeed him on the house committee on rules.

AMERICAN BOOK
 COMPANY IS SUED

Austin, Tex, June 20.-The state of Texas, through the attorney general, this afternoon filed a suit in the Fiftythird district court against the American Book company of New Jersey and the American Book company of New York for penalties aggregating $3,O77,S5O, forfeiture of permits and for a writ of Injunction to restrain these companies from doing business in Texas, other than interstate, for the all legged violation of the antitrust laws of 1899 and 1903, alleging that these corpor- alions are operating in restraint of trade. This is the result of the recent investiga- tion made by Assistant Attorney General Lightfoot of the affairs of the American Book company in New York and in ac- cordance with instructions from the gov- ornor, text book board and state board of education, the latter board having can- celled the contract made with this com- pany to furnish books in this state.

BRYAN PREPARING
 FOR CONVENTION

Lincoln Neb., June 20.-Confident of at least one hundred and more votes than the required number to nominate him for the presidency. William J. Bryan, at his Fairview farm, is already taking an act i've part in the preliminaries of the con- vention.
 The city of Lincoln is also busy mak- ing preparations to appear well under the spotlight, which is already swinging this way. A trolley line is being hastily constructed to MT. Bryan's front door, which will make most comfortable the three-mile trip from the city. MT. Bryan has made arrangements for newspaper men in a little cottage which he owns and which stands directly across from his front gate. A telegraph office is to be established and commodious tent erected for the quarters of correspond ents.
 As to the platform, MT. Bryan today prepared and issued an editorial under the caption "In Full Retreat" expressing his views of the recent republican state ment of principles, and said he should be perfectly satisfied with the Denver plat form should it follow the lines of the Ne braska state platform, which he was largely instrumental in framing.
 To a large audience gathered in a tent near his farm he today also delivered his .Prince of Peace' Chatutauqua address. and which he took occasion to remark that the Chicago and Denver platforms might be faulty, but that of Jesus Do unto others as you would have others do unto you' was a declaration with which no fault could be found.

The Lessons of Life.

In her great papers in Harper's Bazaar on 'The World Invisible" Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is writing of this life as well as of the life to come. In the July Bazaar she says
 l" My dear, said a woman of the wise world to young girl, never tell people how you feel Nobody wants to hear. What is true of bodily disorder is as true of mental pain. Nobody wants to hear We learn the difficult art of silent en- durance. Repression, reserve, courage, re- place the first natural outcries of suffer- ing. After a time we begin to feel all most ashamed of ourselves, not for the pang. but for complaining of it.
 Then, from the rebellion of youth, from the endurance of middle life, we pass on into the patience of advancing age. An impatient old person is scholar at the foot of the human class; he Is persona non grata at the court Of life; he may be tolerated, but he will not be loved, and he will speedily ind out, If he did not know it before, that he who has Aoutlived his welcome in this world might as well be somewhere else.

First and Last Time.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 There was poor old carter whose sole
 means of Livelihood was an old white
 horse that was periodically troubled with
 collie.
 On these occasions a neighboring veteri- nary attended to the needs of the suffering
 animal and the frequency of these spells and their fortunate endings caused the
 owner to look upon them with uncon- cern.
 But one night, despite the doctors treat ment. the old horse made few desperate kicks, rolled over, and breathed his last. Well" said the doctor, gravely turning to the silent carter, ''old Jim will work for you no more." "Is he dead?" exclaimed the bereaved carter That's odd. He's had the collie 20 times already, but hes never dope this before N%

high crowns. tapering gradually into
rounded apex. and in shape closely re-
semble some of the chapeauX which the
picture books lead us to believe were af-

From the back this resemblance is
marked as the brms are wide and above
them shows an untrimmed expanse of
crown. But a view of the front is CAL
culated to be disappointing to any save
the frivolous minded. for above the left
brow the narrowed brim rolls abruptly
against a cluster of alternating short and
long stiff wings. which lend a rather
rakish appearance to even the most dig

cords very well with the empire separate

brim and silk crown. But such treat
ment is undeniably weighty. and far
better way to use jet trimmings for head
gear Is to have 1T in the form of bands
made OF heavy net upon which distinct
figures may be embroidered These should
be mounted over a black silk covered
buckram lining and set ever so slightly
away from the crown, as otherwise the
weight will press 1t out of shape. The
spaces thus left should be filled in with
pleatings of tulle.
Indian Red for Autumn.
Distinctly girlish and eminently becom-
ing to the dark-eyed. animated type of
young woman are the runabout hats for
autumn that are covered with Indian-red
pongee. These are Of the square, medium
high-crowned order and have compare
lively narrow brims. rolling slightly at
one side. The chief feature that COM
mends them is that they do not require
any trimming In addition to the black
and white or white and black chiffon
scarf that is wound carelessly about the
crown, crossed at the back and then
twisted loosely about the throat.
Foreshortened Brims.
A hat which has decidedly a military
air, and one which compels admiration, in
asmuch as it offers but little wind re-
sistance, is Of rather stiff felt in tobacco

and may be used for motoring, as with
the veil drawn over the crown and hold
ing the brim over the ears the shape at
tains sort of poke-bonnet effect that is
quaint and bewitching.
Dip Brim Suggestions.
There are strong suggestions of the din
or saucer brim in many of the new
models for autumn, but happily these are
distinct notifications of the extremities
to which that fad extended several
months ago. The continuation of the
vogue is. of course, due to tie influence
of the directOire modes upon headgear as
well as upon skirts and coats. Some of
these shapes have almost conical crowns
from which the brims slant with scarcely
a depression at the joining point of the
two sections. They are trimmed pic
turesquely with soft. full folds of silk,
which twist around and partially over the
top of the crown. AT the front of it is
set single outstanding aigrette or
feather pompon, which, like the silk, Is
the exact shade of the felt. The hat is
ever so slightly tilted toward tile left side
OF the head, SO that the brim facing of
dark velvet shows distinctly.
All of Black Tulle.
Eminently practical because they are
possible for all-year use are the black
tulle, dp-brim hats which are trimmed
around their high crowns with black tulle
ruchings. These rise high and full from
against the crown, and through their
center is carried a twist Of tulle or
satin fold Sometimes the tulle is the sole
trimming, and again 1t is merely the
