The difference between poor
stock and first class stock on a job
is small item when you consider
the value of the job. 1t is the
price of a satisfied customer. II is
better to make so cents less on a
job and have customer who will
come back, than TO use the flimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.

city sad house, when the man, decid-
ing that it would be lonely in a cell
all his own, made big jump and a
dodge, and before the officers real
lied what was doing had a race
started with the bets twenty to one
The officers were game, however, and
took the trail with as little delay as
possible. And the race was on. The
fellow had some new curves on dodg-
ing and he opened up his full line of
fancy stunts. He went all ways at
once and doubled back and out again.
A shot was sent after him, but this
only impressed the runner that he
possibly was not making the time ex-
pected of a fellow that was going to
get away, and he put on more steam.
Later he was found on the line
of the railroad west of the city in
a dazed condition, and it is supposed
he ran over himself and hurt his run
ming gear. He was brought back to
the city. washed up and given extern
siye instructions as to the shortest
way out of town, and he followed the
route.

I the country represented in this enor-
nous body of women. The two prom
inent rivals for the post are Mrs.
Philip N Moore of st. Louis and
Mrs. May Alden Ward of the Massa-
chusetts Federation.
Mrs Moore, who was elected dur
ing the year of the Worlds Fair,
when the biennial took place in St.
Louis, as compliment not only to
the woman and to the west, but to
the entertaining city, has the tradi-
ton of the so-called logical candidate
to support her claim. Before her
Mrs Charles H. Denison of New York
who had filled the position of first
vice president, while Mrs. Rebecca
Lowe was in power, succeeded her
principal in the chair.
The weight of personal influence
lies with Mrs. Ward who has long
been known as a factor in the work
ing of the big federation. Mrs. Ward
has both literary and executive at
tainments to recommend her for the
position of president. She has like
wise the support of the eastern del
egates, who believe that her selec-
ton would maintain in some degree
the balance of power. They are of
the opinion that the west has had her
share of the honors and they will
use every effort to bring about the
choice of an eastern woman this year
to head the federation
The program of papers and discus
sions is regarded as the most compre-
hensive ever arranged for a conven-
ton of the federation The topics to
be discussed include civil service,
civic art, education, literature, forest
ry, library extension, household econ
omy, industrial conditions, child labor
and pure food Among the notable
speakers to be heard at the evening
meetings are Senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge of Indiana, Professor Charles
Zueblin of the University of Chicago,
Commissioner of Labor Charles P.
Neill, and Mrs. Joseph Medill Nc

ITALIAN STATESMAN IL
Marquis di Rudini, Former Premier, is Suffer-
ing From Cancer Of The Liver.

This revolution was ferociors,
neither giving nor accepting quarter.
The Triumphant population committed
most abominable excuses. Human
butcher shops were opened in the
public squares, where the flesh of
the Italian carbineers killed at the
barricades was sold for next to moth
ing.
Rudini risked popularity in order
to save Italian unity He directed the
suppression of the revolt with firm
ness that bordered on cruelty. The
revolution was crushed and Italian
unity escaped the peril of dismember-
ment, which had threatened it for an
instant. But for many years the re-
membrance of this bloody and merci-
less suppression weighed heavily on
Signor Rudini's reputation.

Rudini, the former premier, is suffer

Marquis di Rudini, like the late
Signor Crispi whom he succeeded as
minister of state, is Sicilian and
Genes from one of the aristocratic
families that were scattered over the
Island of Etna by the Spanish domi-
