NdNyG G4A&lHWN.G COUNT

In it's issue of Oct. Is the Mis-
souri, Valley Evening Times
printed this item:
Paris, France, Oct. 15.-Special
Cable.)-It is gossiped in the cafes
of Paris that Count Alexandra
Jean Paul de Marcelle will spend
the winter in America. Count
Alexandra is reported as being de-
sirous of bestowing his ancient
title upon an attractive American
heiress."
The pert dispatch was read with
more than ordinary interest by two
people-a man and woman. The
wmoan was Miss Anna Caslon,
heiress to five or six of the Kant
wearout millions, and really
beautiful girl in addition. The man
was more humble and obscure. His
name was Leonard King, he traded
city property and prettily named
suburban subdivisions for living,
ard he did not care for counts.
"Why do you daily with this
pauper aristocrat?" he had asked
of Miss Caslon, frowning and with
the infection of anger in his tones.

him. 1T is the way l see my aim
in life-that l should strive for an
ancient name and place in the
palaces of the old world. 1t is to

iected Leonard King. There are

please don't pleaded Miss Cas-
lon. do not spoil my count for
me-" And Fir. King said no more.
On the Both, the Times had this,
among the violet teas and after
dinner functions:
Miss Anna Caslon will enter
tain at Belle Mont this evening in
honor of Count Alexandra Jean de
Marcelle of Paris. Count de Mar
celle arrived from New York this
morning and will spend some
months in this city"
At the reception that evening, a
little, dark man, with a vandyke
beard and a monocle, had 10 min
utes alone in the palm decked con-
servatory with the prettiest of the
famous Caslon girls. The man was
more than plump; his eyes were a
dull, fishy blue; his nose was the
red of old wine and the scars OF
slashing duels checkered his face.
Certainly, to look up the Count de
Carcelle was not to think of ro-
nance. But, as for his converse

Gov. Proctor's Position.

The announcement made by Gov.
Fletcher ID. Proctor in a signed state
ment to the press Monday that he uould
not be candidate for the United States
senate this fall to fill the unexpired term
of his father, the late Redfield Proctor,
was just such dignified and straightfor-
ward statement of his position as was to
have been expected from the man. 1t is
not fulsoD1e or overdrawn to say that his
public career and official acts have dem
onstreted that he was possessed OF those
ideals, as regards both his business inter-
ests and his official position, as would
prompt him to take and to announce the
attitude which he has in the matter of
the senatorship, in connection with
which his name has been mentioned.
The state press is practically a unit in
bearing testimony to this. Nevertheless,
a great many Republicans throughout the
state, who would have been pleased to
have seen him his fathers successor, will
regret that he felt compelled, because of
business obligations, to decline being a
candidate for the high Office for which he
is well fitted.-Enosburg Standard.

THE NATIONAL CANVASS.

The ante-convention canvass on the Re-
publican side has now progressed far
enough to make it clearly apparent that
Taft will be the nominee for president.
The developments of the past week have
tended to this conclusion even more than
earlier ones, though the drift has been
steadily Taftward almost from the begin
ming. Taft will have not only his own
state solidly in the convention, but is
gathering up practically all the neutral
field, and even wrestling delegates from
the home states of other candidates,
having taken several from Cannon in
and from Hughes in New York. On q
fair count, Taft has about so per cent OF
all the delegates elected already instruct
ed for him, while many of those unin
structed can probably be safely accredit-
ed to him.
The attitude of New York toward
Hughes has greatly discouraged his sup
porters in other states. 1t is evidently
lnkewarm. There is little enthusiasm,
and no confidence, in New York for
Hughes. The state convention last week
instructed for him, but it was done per.
functorily. The convention, apparently,
was dominated and directed by Roosevelt
The vote for Hughes was by no means
unanimous. In two districts, the dele
