SMALL THING HE FORGOT.
May Have Accounted for His Proposal
Being Turned Down.

Senator Beveridge described, at q
dinner, an absent.minded farmer.
THE man was so absent-minded,"
he said, that he couldn't open his
mouth without making an arrant ass
of himself.
Once he courted a young woman.
His suit looked promising for a time.
Then, with a sorrowful visage, he
ceased his courtship.
Yet she seemed infatuated with
you, Jabez, said 1, one day when he
came to me for sympathy.
She were, too Jabez agreed.
Well, what could have been the
trouble?'
Dunno, said he. He filed his
pipe. Dunno; but when l proposed,
she turned me down cold
Perhaps your proposal wasn't ard
ent enough?' | suggested.
"'Oh. it was fiery, said Jabez. Hot
as pepper. l told her she was the
only woman I'd ever loved, ever
looked at, ever thought of, Or
but, said l, you forgot, then, you
were a widower.'
"'Jingo,' said Jabez. so l did,"

SHOUTERS FOR
]. A. JOHNSON
MINNIE SOTANS INVADE CONVEN
TON CITY WITH GREAT
HUBBUB.
Nominate a Winner" is the Cry.
Bryan Men Yell, Too. Frank A..
al Blocks.

Denver, July 7.-''Nominate a win
ner'' was the magic word that gave
Denver its first thrill of Democratic
enthusiasm and caused the first real
commotion in the convention city
since the delegations began arriving
q week ago.
Ten dozen valiant Minnesotans
shouted themselves hoarse for the Ia
vorite son of the North Star State,
and at the same time aroused the
dormant enthusiasm of the BRYAN
men, so that they gave their first
demonstration of enthusiasm for
their peerless leader"
That was a great demonstration.
Chicago saw nothing like it in the
pre-convention days, and even those
who shouted -Four, four, four years
more" at the Chicago Coliseum did
not put more vigor into their efforts
than did the Minnesota men durin 6
the half-hour demonstration at the
Brown Palace this evening. The no.
tel lobby was packed and so were the
balconies around the lobby on the
second and third floors.
Everybody shouted for somebody.
1t made the delegates think that
there might be some old-time enthu-
siasm after all. The Minnesota spe-
cial arrived at 80, more than four
hours late. The delegation formed in
line and marched to the Brown Pal
ace hotel, the band leading. Here
they took possession of the lobby
and began their shout of Nominate
a winner" Frank A. Day headed
the procession, and in the hotel he
jumped up and down, shouting again,
Nominate a winner"
Nominate a winner" was their
only plea.
They shouted and shouted but they
did not shout alone. They were in
an enemy's camp and the enemy took
up the cry.
Nominate winner we will" cried
the Bryan men.
''Back to the woods" shouted 9TH
ers.
But the Minnesota men were I'M
daunted, and the 100 who came in the
party made noise enough to make the
delegates think that Johnson was the
real candidate.

ARMED FANATICS
Winnipeg Police Hasten to Disperse
Armed Dukhobors

Winnipeg, July IA detachment
of twenty royal northwest mounted
police left yesterday for Pierson,
Man, twenty-five miles north of
North Dakota boundary line, where
armed religious fanatics are camping
in large numbers, including a few
women and children.
The band came from North Dakota
on Saturday armed with rifles. The
leader claims to be Jesus Christ and
says his wife is the Virgin Mary.
They are on their way to join the
Dukhobors near Yorkton, Sask.
On being ordered to dispense by the
police on Sunday they formed half
circle, presenting arms threatening
to shoot all who interfered. 1t was
then that the mounted police were
summoned.
Pierson is a little town in south
western Manitoba but a few miles
from the eastern border of the prov
ince of Saskatchewan.

decorations were even more pictur-
esque, and the illumination scheme
was the most brilliant Denver ever at
tempted.
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven.
teenth streets, three Of the main
thoroughfares in the city, were reve-
lations in color. On Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets there are eight iron
ornamental electric poles to block,
four on each side of the street. On
these streets the poles were draped
with red, white and blue bunting.
Wires were stretched across the street
from these poles and from each wire
two American flags were suspended
The flags hung over the street and
were weighted" to prevent them from
becoming tangled and torn by the wind.
On Seventeenth street the scheme
was the same, except there were only
six poles to each block, two at each
corner and two at each alley.
At each crossing two wires were
strung diagonally across the intersec'
ton, from which red, white and blue
incandescent lights hung. The bust
ness houses along the three streets
were handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags. Elaborate and cost
ly electric display signs had been
put in place on the buildings, and at
night Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets were blaze of light.
Electric display signs are one OF
the main features of business life in
Denver. Every merchant has an cleo,
trio sign, and as all of the streets that
cross the three thoroughfares de-
scribed are live business streets, the
committee on illumination did not IND
it necessary to add much in the way
of light to these avenues of trade.
However, the business houses were
handsomely decorated with bunting
and flags, so the entire business sec
ton of Denver was a mass OF color
when the big convention opened.
The people of Denver, in addition to
decorating their city and providing a
beautiful and commodious auditorium
for the Democratic national conven-
ton, seemed determined to convince
every visitor that true western hos
pitality is not a thing of the past in
this city. The real Denverite is hos
pitable because hospitality is in the
atmosphere in the wonderful Rocky
mountain country.

points Pf the stars were red and white.
Directly over the speakers plat
form, against the wall of the building
near THE junction with the ceiling, was
a largo shield, 16 feet high, carrying
six flags IL feet long draped in arts
tic folds. In addition to this main
shield there were four other shields
over the platform, each ten feet high.
The sill flags on these shields were
eight Get long.
Just below the main shield hung a
mammoth portrait of George Washing
ton, IA by 16 feet in dimensions. Red,
white and blue bunting was draped
from the sides of the shield TO the
bottom of the portrait of the Father
of His Country"
Directly under the last shield on
each side of the Washington portrait,
was suspended a portrait, one of
Thomas Jefferson and the other of
Andrew Jackson. On each side of
these pictures large American flag
was d4aped. These flags are 40 by
60 feet in dimensions. Beyond these
pictures, at each end of the wall, and
hanging above the gallery, was sus-
pended a pendant, ten feet in diane
ter, upon which bunting was draped.
Upon these pendants tiger was
painted. The back of the platform
was banked with palms. Twenty
stuffed American eagles, with extend
ed wings, were suspended over the
platform, each bird carrying in his
bill red, white and blue silk ribbons
that were draped back to the wall.
Balcony and Galleries Draped.
In the auditorium the balcony ex-
tends all the way around the huge
building, but the galleries are limited
to each end. The front of the balcony
and the fronts of the galleries and
boxes were draped with bunting, $4,000
yards being necessary to complete this
part of the decorative scheme. AT
intervals of five feet shields, three feet
high, were placed.
Thousands of yards OF bunting
were used in draping the corridors OF
the building and the walls of the bal
ccny and galleries. Delegates were
supplied with small American flags
to wave when their feelings reached
a pitch that compelled an extraordin-
airy demonstration.
Although the decorations in the
auditorium were elaborate, the street
