one of the biggest raids on dealers IN

Eight girls were in court to testify
against the prisoners One of them was
only years old. the oldest was 10.
They all told the same story-that they
had been lured to a moving picture
show, where caIIcy or other cheap pres

they were taken to some house main

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

A good memory is a splendid thing
But not at all times.
There is one kind of memory that's a
curse. An ability to forget at the right
time is a fine art.
The other day friend of mine intro
duced me to her brother who had just
returned from a several years stay IN
q distant city.
He seemed a fine manly young man
I said as much later to a woman who
Used to know him
"Ye-es?'' she said with a peculiar
rising infection. you didn't know Ev-
erett before he went away"
I admitted that 1 hadn't had that
pleasure.
well, I can tell you you wouldn't
have called him fine and manly then.
He was up to every kind of devlltry
there is. Shiftless, too. Couldn't keep
a job more than two or three weeks.
Then finally something awful happened.
He stole some money. I guess. Nobody
knew Just what it was for they huShed
1t UP and sent him away. That's why
he has been gone so long. They say
he's changed lot. I'm sure 1 hope
so. He does seem a good deal more
of a man. I guess he's going to try
to live his old self down."
Why couldn't she have helped him by
not telling me that?
It was evident that he was trying to
build a future that should make every
one forget the past. Why should any
one insist in digging out that past and
trying to faint my admiration by in
forming me of the poor lads mistakes
Why not let all who could, know him
as the fine manly man he was so evil
IDENTIFY trying to be?
There is a pleasant agreeable young
school teacher in the high school of the
town where I live. some of whose child
hood friends I met recently.
I admired her.
Yes they said. land the remarka-
bic thing is that she used to be the
most disagreeable. ill-tempered, little
girl that ever was"

sees me, makes it a point to remind
me, and whoever is with me, what a
fdgety, nervous little girl I was, how
never could sit still and how careless
and untidy was about my room and
my clothes.
There was a senior at college when
I was a freshman whom 1 used to
greatly admire. She had very sweet and
pretty manners. One day I was prais-
ing them to one of her classmates.

WOODRUFF NAMES SHERMAN

In presenting the name of Vice President Sherman to the convention Timothy l.. Woodruff said:
 ''The election of a temporary chair man of this convention is a crucial act, and calls for the most careful consideration by every man who is about to vote on it.

Saratoga, N. r., Sept. 27.-At 2:22 D. m. baIIoting began on the tenpor- ary cElairmanship with William Barnes, Jr., casting the solid 28 dele gates of Albany County, the first on the list, for Sherman.
 There were wild cheers and misses as the announcement of the vote was made.
 Saratoga, Sept. 27.-The Republican State Convention was called to order this afternoon at 12:o7.
 As the noon hour arrived the dele gates began to crowd into the audi toriun. Roosevelt came in a few minutes after 12 and was loudly. cheer . ed as he passed down the aisle and took his seat with the Nashua Coun- ty delegation.
 R0oseve1t held a reception in his chair, a number of his friends in the New York delegation going over to again pledge support. He was smil- ing and plainly as confident as ever in his life.
 vice-President Sherman was given an ovation by the Utica boomers in the gallery.
 It was 12:07 when Chairman Timo- thy L. woodruff called the convention to order He at once ordered the aisles cleared. The packed crowd could not move and woodruff finally had to call in the police to aid the ushers in getting a passageway.
 At 12:15 Woodruff introduced Rev. Or. Joseph Carey of Saratoga, who delivered the opening invocation.
 It was 12:56 when Chairman Wood ruff began his speech naming James s. Chairman as the choice of the state committee for temporary chairman.
 When Taft was named there was 40 seconds of applause.
 A second outburst greeted the men, ton of Sherman and when Woodruff indignantly declared the state com znittee was not actuated by '.ulterior motives" there was mingled cheers and misses. It was manifest that the crowd was in an angry mood and that 1t would require only a word to pre- cipitate a real disturbance.
 Roosevelt sat impassively through the Woodruff speech.
