COULD FILL vAcANeN

Chicago. June 25.-The Illness oa
Congressman Sherman today was re-
ceived among members OF the national
committee. who are still in the city
with great regret. All express sincere
hope for his recovery.
The question naturally arose, what
course would be taken for the filling Of
the vacancy in the event of his demise 4
While there is no precedent to guide
Chairman New and other committees
men, that the national committee has
authority to name candidate for vice
president. 1t was pointed out that
g representative of a state on the ma
tfonal committee stands in the place
of the state delegation to the national
convention and therefore has the au.
thority to act for the delegation should
q vacancy on the national ticket oc-
cur. Mr.. New said that If such q con-
tingency should arise and there were
sufficient time to do so before the elec-
ton, the committee would re-assemble
the convention and have the nomina,
tion made in the regular way.

JoHNNYS DEBUT.
Hs Thought He Had Learned His Sc.
 lection ThorouqhlH

He Thought Hs Had Learned His Sc. lection Thoroughly. A seveh-year-old, orator made hls debut in front of large audience the other night ut q West Side club. His deluded but loving family who had egged him on to this sacrifice were mostly with him in the dressing room they wanted to be sure that his bangs did not fall over his eyes and obstruct 1 the vieV of his. mother, father, aunts, uncles and cousins in reserved seats directly in front. Now, Johnny" said his mother, "be. sure you make nice bow" You bet will" said Johnny, witL a swagger
 And let your hands fall easily by your side, like this" and his father struck an attitude. "Of course" said Johnny. Are you sure you know your piece ?' asked his sister.
 Yep" said Johnny, and he recited the first two lines T wish had little dog,
 To pat him on the head
 'srhat's right. He'll do splendidly," !" remarked his mother. "You'll go on in minute now, and we must get into our seats. Don't you be scared bit, Johnny"
 "Whoth thcared?' asked Johnny, who began to feel sinking of the knees, while his heart began to rise until it was in his mouth. and then somebody was pushing him forward. and he saw lot of faces, not one of which he had ever seen before, and 1t was lighter than any electric search , light he had ever seen. Speak up now,.' said the manager. Make your bow and say your piece"
 Johnny made his bow and the audi ence applauded, but he had difficulty in finding his tongue. His hands hung down as his father had suggested, making him look like little wooden man, and when he forgot and stuffed them into his pockets the audience ap- plauded again. The manager took this opportunity for stage whisper:
 Speak up, now" and he began the first line Then Johnny said in 8 strange, hoarse voice:
 T wish had little pat
 To dog him on the head"
 Roars of laughter. Frantic demon strations on the part of Johnny's fam fly. He began again:
 '.I wish I had a little pat
 To head him on the dog"
 His father rose in his seat. That added to Johnny's confusion. Again the brave boy essayed:
 T wish had little dog
 To head him on the pat"
 Then a weary family took Johnny by the hand and led him home.-sDe- troit News Tribune.

How He Made It Up.

Clark Williams, New York's super. intendent of banks. said the other day of a bankrupt:
 Tt is no wonder the poor fellow went under. When 1t became neces- sary for him to borrow. the securities that he offered were quite worthless. This fact was pointed out to him. and he produced other bundles of securi- ties less valuable if possible than the first lot"
 Mir. Williams laughed.
 He reminded me" he said, "of . walter whom I heard about the other day. His waiter was summoned an grily by a guest.
 Look here. waiter.' the guest grum- bled. these oysters that you have brought me are bad
 "T know that, sir the waiter ar- swered. but we have given you three more than you ordered to make up for ft'"
