the great world greatly, the least duty of
an ambassador. This property has since
been purchased for the Turkish embassy.
Ambassador Mccormick. Yet another
very rich one. rented two floors of an I'M

were large enough to entertain the creme

Ambassador White had thought that

CHATTER XII.

The big convention hall would easily
seat twelve hundred people. There was
not a vacant chair on the main.hoor, where
the delegates we're grouped by counties,
each group having q guidon designating
the county, and the town delegations sit
ting together. Overhead and in rear,
hundreds Of spectators swarmed the gal
leries. The stage held the members of
the state committee and notable men of
the party, including several former gov
ernors. In front stood the desk Of the
presiding officer. 1t held q big mallet, q
water pitcher and a tumbler. On either
side OF the stage, long tables provided ia
cilities for the press reporters, who sur
rounded them and were even now franz
ing the introductions to their "stories. y
A brass band thundered patriotic and
popular airs from the rear gallery. A
buzzing of conversation arose from the
throng. Red and blue badges in equal
numbers evidenced the sharpness of the
coming struggle.
At II o'clock the doughty figure Of the
state committee chairman moved to the
front, the mallet fell and his sharp voice
commanded,
"The convention will come to order.
Prayer will be offered by the Rev. Frank
LIN sykes.
An odd and homogeneous prelude to an
outbreak of strife and passion, the prayer
breathed a spirit of calm and peace. The
Divine band was implored to so direct
the days deliberations as to reflect the
greatest possible measure OF wisdom and
honor upon American citizenship.
The delegates, who had risen for the
\ invocation, resumed their seats.
"Lfsten to the reading Of the roll Of
/ deIegates."
The committees secretary had scarcely
begun his task when delegate moved
that the reading be dispensed with and
the roll a. prepared by the committee b
accepted as the roll OF the convention.
All hands voted "Aye" to that and the
/ formality was over.
BY this time every delegate had been
provided with ballots for the several can
didates, passed byNa dozen active parti
sans who darted along the aisles.

man, the men being boarders at the same
place. A dispute arose ever a slight mat
ter and Mahalick laid in wait for Slut
vatsky in order to catch him in the
quarry at a time when no one else was
near. 1t is supposed that the murderer
came up behind his victim and fred two
shots one entering the heart and the
other the brain. Death must have been
instantaneous. Mahalick was caught late
that afternoon at Fort Edward, n. Y,
just as he was boarding a train south
bound. He admitted his identity. He
was taken to jail and committed suicide
in his cell by hanging himself with bed
guilt.
Facts that have come to light show that
the Black Hand element has been getting
in its work on the borders of Vermont
and New York for some time. Joseph

he would not join Black Hand society.

lick's house. He believed that they in
tended to murder him. They broke q
window and would probably have gained
entrance had their noise not awakened q
big dog which chased them out of the
neighborhood. Monday, Mar. /, a long
knife dropped BY them was found under
the window. MahsIick told Mr.. McCor-
mack that he reported the matter to the
town grand juror and constable but
they refused to take any action, saying
that "those fellows we're bad men and
they did not wish to have anything to do
with Them"
Mr.. Mccormack says that it is the gen.
eral belief in Pawlet and Granville that
the band Of cut threats of which Slut
vatsky was a member is responsible for
the disappearance of several Hungarians
who have suddenly been missing. He
told of one instance in which Hungarian
quarry foreman disappeared, leaving his
best clothes and s47 in wages at the Ris-
ing & Nelson company's Office. The be-
lief is that this man was murdered and
his body secreted.

LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING
This Staismsnt May be Generally Attributed
to the Lack Of Good Health.

We want to talk to people who are ner-
vous, who suffer frequent headaches.
who don't enjoy their food who are irri-
table, quickly lose their temper, are so
tired and worn out that they feel they
must give up, and have become so
respondent that life doesn't seem worth
living. We know exactly what is the
matter with people in this condition.
and il they will follow our advice. we
can tell them how to regain good health
and that bouyancy Of feeling which
makes life seem all sunshine and happi-
ness.
Most Of the above described conditions
are chiefly caused by catarrhal infiamma-
ton of the mucous membranes. This
delicate web-like lining of the body be-
comes inhamed and congested until
weakness and mental depression follows.
The only way that this can be overcome
is through treatment OF the blood. We
have the treatment, and we are so
positive that it will produce the results
we claim for it that we will supply it to
anyone with the understanding that we
will return to them every penny they
paid us in every instance where the treat
ment is not in every way satisfactory and
beneficial to them.
we want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, which is powerful nutritive tonic
and body builder, and q mucous MEM
braue Alternative that cIeanses these mem
branes and restores their natural and
healthy functions.
Rexal Mucu-Tone drives out all the
catarrhal poison, restores the mucous
cells to good health, tones up the whole
system, allays Inflammation, removes
congestion, and stimulates the whole
system to healthy activity. 1t is splendid
for building up flesh and muscle tissue
and removing all weaknesses.
Come to our store today and get q
bottle Of Mucu-Tone, after giving it q
reasonable trial, If you are not satisfied
simply tell us so, and we will hand back
your money without question. Surely,
nothing could be more fair than this.
