White House Calm.

Although every telegraph wire in the
White House was clicking uninterrupt-

trace OF excitement or even more than
casual interest on the eve Of the open-
ing of the Republican national conven-

Secretary Taft called on President
Roosevelt early in the day, presumably
10 prepare the statement which was
issued later, denying parentage Of the
supposed administration platform sent
out from Chicago. Later he at.Ande /
the Cabinet meeting. but so certsf4 WIS
he that the cut and dried policy of his
managers would go through that he
planned to take his usual aft srnoop

of the Vice Presidential situation. He
was asked TO name his choice for a
running mate. 7 have said all along.

CHICAGO, June l6.-With bands play
ing, amid the crush. the breathless eX-
element. and the cheering Of 1900 per
sons, the adulation of many Of the
great men of the nation, the eager
scramble for seats and viewed by q
bevv OF gayly attired women from the
social centers of the country, and a
more somber aggregation of diplomats
from the Old World, the fourteenth ma
tionaI convention OF the Republican
party was called to order at 1922 O'Clock
today by Harry S. New, OF Indiana,
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee.
AS this erect, keen-visaged man step

form his duty. l2OO0 pairs of eyes were
eertered upon him. Nearly ZOO OF these
belonged 10 the delegates and their al

from every State and Territory in the
Union. as well as the District Of Co.
lunobia and far-on Alaska. Hawaii,
Porto Rico, and the Philippines, for the
purpose of nominating men who, they
believe. will be the next President and
Vice President CT the United States.
The other 1900 were OF the newspaper
men who will record the events, and OF
the visitors who have come from all
parts OF the " rid TO see how the thing
is done.
The scene was laid in Chicago's great
amphitheater, the Coliseum. Every
seat was filled and standing room ca
pacity was taxed to the utmost.

Welt was nominated in this same hall,

TRADE THAT WAS CALLED OFF.
Minister'S Really Good Reason for Not
Purchasing Horse.

Il saw an instance recently re-
marked Senator Carter of Montana,
"of one way to get along with Indians
when 1t comes to a horse deal One
of the missionaries who makes occa-
sional excursions into the Crow coun-
try by way Of getting on friendly
terms with the tribe, commissioned
two of the men to get him swift,
strong and presentable riding horse,
and he stipulated that he would pay a
hundred dollars for the kind of horse
described. The braves soon appeared
with horse. swift, strong and a
splendid looking animal, but, alas! so
vicious that he had to be dubbed al
most to insensibility before he would
be saddled. Then the Indians blind
folded him to get on the bride.
'The missionary looked on, anything,
but edited by the conduct of the
braves and fierce temper of the horse.
Still, the Indians insisted that they
had brought the horse described and
they demanded the hundred. The mis-
sionary explained that though the
horse could go like the wind, the rider
ran the risk of having his neck broken
before he dismounted More than that,
the missionary was not strong enough
to beat the horse as the Indians had.
Besides, he finished tearfully, How
can | blindfold the horse whenever
want to mount The Indians replied
that all he had to do was to take off
his shirt and tie it over the horses
head. But conceive said the man OF
God, how | would look being com

know that | go among whites as well
AS Indians, and women as well as
men. 1t would cover me with shame
to pull off my shirt that way. | can
not buy this horse The Crows
thought it over and finally gave up on
the ground that 1t would not be SEEM
ly for the preacher to have to take off
his garments promiscuously, so the
deal was off amicably."

A Poor Answer.

Otto E. Schaar, president Of the
Walters club of New York, in a re-
cent argument on tipping, said to his
opponent, sharply:
Your reply is altogether beside the
point and irrelevant. 1t reminds me
of a woman's reply in a German court.
The woman was accused OF poisoning
her husband. The prosecuting attor-
ney said to her:
you have heard the evidence. The
body contained enough arsenic to kill
ten persons. What have you to say?"
My husband the women an
swered, was big eater"
