That He Might Have Started
Something.

feat. The Republican state commit.

sued statement in which he enrolled
himself as a progressive, SO far as
the New York situation goes.
Colonel Roosevelt issued the follow
ing statement:
ITO the various persons who asked
me whether | would accept the posi-
ton of temporary chairman of the
state convention, said that | would
do so only If they We're sure, knowing
my attitude, that they desired me, be-
cause my speech would be of such a
character that | might help if the com
mittee named the right kind of a man
on clear cut progressive platform;
but that it would hurt if neither the
right kind of a man were nominated
nor the right kind of a platform
adopted
1t was his most pointed political
statement since his return, and those
who saw him were convinced that he
had determined to begin an open fight
on the "old guard"

Somebody on the Roof

BY Donald Allen

Miss Hyacinth Wells was an ole
maid. If she hadn't been an ole
maid she wouldn't have been the
owner and principal of the Wells
school for young ladies'. Old maids
have a fondness for opening schools
for young ladies. It's their way OF
getting revenge for never having had
any romance in their own lives
They become watch dogs and tyrants
and gloat over it.
When Miss Jean Kelly arrived al
Ravendale and the Wells school with
her mother, she was left in the parlor
while the mother and MS. Wells re-
tired to a private room u have a
confidential conversation Miss Jean
was to be sequeste-ed on account of
her being in love at nineteen She
was as good as engaged to a very
determined young man, who was two
years older He had said to the
mothers face after being turned down
that he would marry Jean if he had
% wait hundred years. 1t had taken
he strongest kind of parental authori-
y to bring the girl to the school, and
she was to be kept there as a pupil
and prisoner. No letters must be
received or sent without being read.
As she walked out on the ground,
guards must be stationed to watch If
allowed outside the grounds two
guards must accompany her.
She had been hurried from home,
so that the determined man might
not get track of her, but in case he
did he would be known by a scar on
his chin Miss Wells was to look for
scar.
Trust me" replied Miss Wells,
when she heard the full particulars.
There is neither love nor romance
mder this roof. My young ladies are
taught that this world would be al
together better off without men.
Thomas and William are old and
crippled, and they are the only two
males around this sacred institution.
They cannot be bribed or deceived.
