Continued from page H.

The close of the convention found
the Roosevelt forces in complete mas
terry of the situation. 1t was the
election of Mr.. Roosevelt as temper
airy chairman yesterday, over Vice
President Sherman which decided the
issue between the former President
and the organization, but the Old
Guard kept up its fight grimly until
the end. -
Following the first rout of the or
ganization came Mr.. Roosevelt's bat
tie for the adoption OF the platform
of the Progressives and his final vic
tory in the nomination OF Mr.. Slim
son.
1t was $3.50 p. m. when Chairman
Elihu Root called the convention tc
order and called for nominations foI
| Governor.
On the roll call by counties, AL
bany made no response and Allegheny
yielded to the 19the district of New
York.
Kingsbury Foster OF that district
| took the platform and placed in nom.
ination Representative w. S. Bennett
Mr.. Foster reviewed Mr.. Bennet's
public service as a member of the
Assembly, municipal judge in New
York and member of Congress and
called him a true representative OF
the most cosmopolitan district in the
world"
When Nassau was reached Roose-
welt took the platform to nominate
Henry l.. Stimson. He made strong
speech saying among other things:
1T was his business TO bring tt
justice the Sugar trust. one of the
greatest corporations in this country
which by a most elaborate system o.
collision with government officials
had defrauded the government oul
of enormous sums
Until we put in Mr. stimson, il
had proved impossible TO get at tho
actual facts. Mr., Stimson got justice
Mr.. Stimson convicted man after mar
in the employ of the Sugar trust
Mr.. Stimson proved his case sc
clearly that the trust threw up Its
hands and returned to the govern
ment an enormous sum.
"He secured a restitution, he Sc
cured punishment. We have said Oh
this platform that we stood for JUS
tice; that we would punish the cor
rupt man in public office and in bust
ness life alike. and that the highest
social or political or business affilia-
lions could not save the offender.
Those have been our words and
those have been Mr.. Stimson's deeds
What we have said he has done You
can Judge his future by the past.
IF we nominate him, his nomina-
ton is a guarantee that every prom
Use made in the platform will be
kept, in letter and in spirit, for he is
of that temper that nothing in the
world could prevent him from keep
ing his promises

MULE BREEDING.
Weight and Bone Are Cardinal Points
In a Jack.

Weight and Bone Are Cardinal Points
In a Jack.
An expert on breeding mules says:
The first point is to see that the mules
sire is a large jack. recorded in the
American Jack Stock Studbook. He
should stand 1872 hands or even 16
hands high and should weigh up to
HOO or 1900 pounds. He should
have a large, strong body and heavy
bone. Weight and bone are cardinal
points in jack.
If mares sired by light stations,
standard breds and coaehers are bred
to such jack. mules Of good quality
and fair weight may be expected. If
the mares are by good standard bred
saddle or thoroughbred stations, the
mules will be very active and will
possess much quality and finish. If
these mares have good weight, say
LOO or 1000 pounds, this mating will
produce the finest sugar mules. If
somewhat smaller. good cotton mules
will result.
IL draft bred mares are used, the
mules will, Of course, be heavier Such
mules are the draft mules of the mar
ket and are in strong demand for city
use. They have more weight than
sugar mules, but not quite so much
quality.
For small, Indifferent 800 pound
mares without breeding nothing better
can be expected than the production
of inferior cotton mules or pit and
pack mules. 1t is useless to try to
breed good mules from poor mares.
and this is one reason why so much
attention has been given to the dis
cussion of the Importance Of horse
breeding in the south.
There will probably always be more
demand in the south for mules than
for work horses, which can be sup
piled by locally raised animals, but it
is necessary first to have a supply Of
good useful farm brood mares. 1t is
doubtful If any jack is good enough
to sire good mule from a small,
coarse. plug mare.

The Arctic Summer.

The arctic summer is brief, but for
weeks together there is nothing to dis
tinguish day and night. Once at Dvor-
mix two naturalists had left their ship
at different hours. When later they
met one said, "Good morning." the
other. "Good evening" Both agreed
that the hour was Z. but while one
traveller held that it was Z tomorrow
morning the other maintained that it
was Z o'clock last night. On returning
to the ship they settled that it was
last night. so they dined and went to
bed again.

Assistant In State Department.

Chandler Hale. who was recently
appointed third assistant secretary of
state, is one of the youngest men who
ever held so important post, being
still in his early thirties. The third
assistant in the state department is a
sort of general utility man, managing
things that nobody else has time to
attend to. A son of Eugene Hale, the
veteran senator from Maine and one
of the three men who are said to run
that august body. young Hale has en-
joyed every advantage that money
and social position affords.

rience in the diplomatic line. Not

A 3 savers Toilet.

1t is an interesting sight to watch
beaver at his evening toilet. To be-
gin with, instead of sitting up with
his large, fat, ribbed tail protruding
behind him, he tucked it forward be@
tween his hind legs and sat upon it.
Then with his hand he carefully comb
ed his long hair, using both hands at
the same time. There we're many
places, however, that could not be
reached in this way, for his arms are.t
very short and his body very large, so
he combed these otherwise inaccessible
places with his hind feet, Using first
one and then the other The entire
operation was performed with the ut
most elaboration and care and occu-
pied more than quarter of an hour.

In Iceland horses are shod with

Thoroughbred Horse.
An authority expresses himself as
follows: AS an old horseman who has
bred and handled horses of many
types have frequently been sur
prised at the answers given by the
majority of people when asked the
question. "What constitutes the most
striking difference between the thor.
oughbred and the common horse"
Nineteen out Of twenty will name
the beauty or the speed of the thor
oughbred. But, important as are both
Of these qualities, neither is correct
It is simply that the thoroughbred
when he is tired will keep on with an
undiminished courage and ambition,
while common horse under the same
circumstances will quit.
Ground Feed For Horses.
Old horses or others with poor teeth
should always have ground grain. It
is almost impossible for them to make
use of the whole grain. During the
spring months or at any season of the
year when they are shedding teeth
colts should have ground grain in or
der to prevent any unnecessary use
of the jaws during such period.
1t is argued by some that the cost
OF grinding win not make it profitable
to grind feed for horses not at work
unless they have defective teeth. o..

quired little capital and by judicious
investment in real estate grew wealthy.
A glimpse of his character is shown
by the following: In 1900 he decided
to erect new building and had the
plans drawn. Then came a strike in
the building trades and work came to
standstill. He wanted the building
put up, so he cast about for a way to
accomplish it. He hired a superintend-
'ent to oversee the construction. Then
he went to the business agents of the
unions and employed the men he need
ed, paying union wages. The work
moved along without a hitch. and the
structure, costing 100000, was COM
pleted in good time.
