SARCASM THAT WAS WASTED
Whist Players III Humor Had Little
Effect on Good-Natured Man
from the West.

Life tells OF an old fellow, a member
Of whist club in Brooklyn, who en-
joyed the reputation of being a great
crank. His animadversions against his
partners were SO severe that 1t was
rare indeed that he could get anyone
to play with him.
One night, however, man happened
In from the west and the avoided one
promptly assailed him with a request
to sit in" The western man was
about to comply when he was taken
aside by one Of the members of the
club who told him the reputation of the
crank
Il don't care" he said. 81 can stand
1t. guess"
At the end of the evening he was
approached once more by the curious
member.
Well" said the member, how did
you manager"
First rate"
Didn't he insult you?"
why, no."
Didn't he browbeat you?"
Not at ALL"
Didn't he say anything?"
Nothing special. He only spoke
once during the whole course of the
game"
What did he say them"
why, l didn't get the cards out
right, and he looked over very pleas
antly and said: Why. you can't even

Treatment of Sprains.

Sprains require prompt and thor
ough attention. They sometimes give
rise to permanent injury. Soak the
affected part in hot water for 20 to
80 minutes. The water should be
maintained at as high temperature as
is possible by the little addition of hot
water at frequent intervals. The dura-
ticn Of hot foot bath should be ten
to 20 minutes, after which an elastic
bandage should be applied to the af-
fected joint in such a way as to pre-
vent swelling on the outside Of the
bandage. The foot should be elevated
for a few hours, until the tendency
to Inflammation has subsidized. After
the first "a hours very gentle rubbing
of the limb may be employed. The
rubbing movement should be in a d.
rection from the injured part toward
the heart.

This fine poet and good man thought

New York State Convention Allies
Itself With Progressive
Principles.
SHERMAN AND BARNES
DEFEAT, is COMPLETE
Wild Scenes Enacted and at Times
Pandemonium Reigned De-
handing an Appeal for Quiet
and Order From Roosevelt.


|. ~ SARATOGA, N. Y; Sept. 27.-Col.
Roosevelt rode today on the top wave
Sherman for the temporary chair
manship of the Republican state con-
vention and bowling over the "old
guard" in the first engagement OF a
probable series of conflicts.
Roosevelt was in his element. After
he had named the members of three
important committees and the con-
vention had adjourned to meet tomor-
row the colonel turned to the news
FRAGILE you may remember. You
may quote me on that"
Had Votes to Spare.
There we're 1911 votes cast in the
convention, of which Roorevelt re-
ceived SOS and Sherman 443, giving
the leader of the progressives a ma
jority of 1875. Roosevelt did not vote.
Sherman voted for John Doe" and
two of the New York county delega-
ton failed to respond when their
names were called.
Ill Ills SpctCIeS as Cudll
man Roosevelt spoke feelingly of
what President Taft had accomplish
ed in his administration.
at represents an achievement that
is yet to come" he said.
Assailed Bosses.
Roosevelt bitterly assaileI bosses,
declaring that the difference between
a boss and a leader is that the leader
leads and the boss drives. tma
Thunders of applause greeted the
colonel as he was escorted to the
speakers stand by Vice-President
sherman and Cornelius V. Collins. 1t
was a day or oratory, it was a day of
bitter and acrimonious speech.
With the opening of the convention
State Chairman Woodruff defined the
position of the old guard and an
nounced that Vice President sherman
had been selected for temporary
chairman by the state committee.
Then the real fight began.
Grubcr Fires First Gun.
Col. Graham Gruber of New York
had been selected to fire the verbal
hot shot for the old guard and his
speech attacking the former president
was often broken and drowned by
Kisses and jeers. Once pandemonium
became so great that Roosevelt leaped
to his feet and asked for a full hear
ing of the speaker.
Controller Prendergast of New York
city was champion of the progress
siveS and made a reply to the old
guard onslaught.
The convention had well prepared
for the outcome of the contest, for
temporary chairman, William H.
Barnes, Jr, having early in the day
conceded the election of Representa-
tives Paynes and Bassett.
Talk of gubernatorial candidates
was submerged during the day by the
contest over the temporary chairman
ship, but tonight friends of Repre-
sentative Bennett, Frederick c. Stevens
and Harry L. Stimson were out scout
ing to secure votes for their candi-
dates
