Democrats Ask Reconvention.

The filing at Harrisburg to-day OF Pc
tition with the secretary of the Democratic
State Central Committee by W. H McNair,
of Pittsburg, who was delegate TO the
Allentown convention, asking for a recon-
yention of the delegates and a new deal,
started story in Pittsburg tonight that
seventy-tive of the Berry delegates In
tended TO file similar petitions or JOIN In
one petition 10 the same end.
Under. the rules of the state committee a
state convention must be recalled upon the
petition OF one-fourth of the delegation 1t
is said there were more than enough Berry
delegates to accomplish this. 1t is also as
serted that another convention would not
be altogether unweIcome to Colonel James
M. Guffey, of Pittsburg, who has felt
keenly the criticisms of alleged deal
with United States Senator Penrose to
bind and gag the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania this fall.
McNair has been prominent as an anti
Guffey Democrat in Pittsburg. and has a
considerable following among local Demo
Gratis.
Another report in connection with the
rumored movement for another Democratic
convention is the statement that the anti
Penrose Republicans, should they finally
fail to obtain Secretary Knox's consent to
run for Governor. might be induced to join
a fusion movement. Tt IS pointed out that
this could be accomplished If the Demo-
Gratis named a man agreeable to the indie
pendent Republicans. who would thus not
need TO go out of the party lines or dis
turb their Regularity by putting up
separate ticket.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1910-06-19

Washington, June 1S.-Developments in
the future may change the situation, but
the opinion was confirmed in administra-
ton circles here tonight that Mr.. Knox
is to remain in the Cabinet throughout the
Taft administration.
The impression is gained that as matters
now stand none of Secretary Knox's COL
leagues in the Cabinet has any idea that
he will resign his portfolio as head of the
State Department to become the Repub-
lcan candidate for Governor. The Presi-
dent is said to hold the same view.
At the same time strong pressure is being
brought to bear upon Mr. Knox to yield to
the demand of the party. Over half of the
Republican congressman from Pennsyl-
vania admit that with Knox the head of
the ticket their contests for reelection
would be simplified.

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Heron'S Lesson.

A heron, bird of long beak and tall
legs, was going along Il river. He saw
any quantity of carp and pike the
heron is a great eater of fish. and he
could easily have caught them, but he
wasn't hungry. This was Il very good
reason \ few moments later his APP
petite came back to him. and he re-
turned to the edge of the water to find
something to eat. But the pike and
the carp were no longer there. 1t was
n great loss for him. He saw some
tenches. but this did not please him.
He wanted something more solid.
"Me eat tencheS, he exclaimed.
what do they take me for"
At last he found some gudgeons.
"Gudgeons. Did any one ever see
heron eat such small fry? What
open my beak for so littlc!
Hunger overlook him, and In his eX-
IRENE want, not being able to find any
thing else, he was glad enough to run
across a snail.
Disdaln nothing, and don't be so diff
ficult to please. Often in being will
ing to gain too much we run the risk
of losing everything.

The DANCING Pea

Push pin halfway through a green
pea, making the two ends as nearly as
possible the same weight. G., let the
point come Il little more than halfway
through. Then break off the stem of
a common clay pipe. and the toy will
be completed. To make the pea dance
put 1t on top Of the pipestem, the
point Of the pin sticking down the
bore. Throw your head back with the
pipe In your mouth so that the stem
may be held vertically and blow gen
tly. This will make the pea rise. Keep
blowing harder until the pea rises en-
tirdy from the pipe and is supported
in the air. 1t will now begin to spin
round and round and turn over and
over, all the while bobbing up and
down, as long as the current of air is
kept up. The dance may be changed
by pushing the pin up to its head. The
pea will now rise to the top of the pipe
and dance slowly and with great dig
nifty around the edge. or if the blast
is a little stronger it will spin rapidly
unless the blower stops to laugh, when
it is apt to fall into the open mouth
below.

A Shy Horse.

Once, long time ago, there was a
man who owned Il fine horse. which
was very shy of an open umbrella and
was not safe when he saw one.
He often thought how he could
break the horse of this bad habit.
After thinking a long time he de-
cided to put potato on he end of a
closed umbrella, as the horse was very
fond of potatoes. He repeated this
several mornings until the horse was
not shy of it.
Then he opened the umbrella a little
more each day until he could open II
all the way.
But the horses master was not sure
the plan would do out of doors.
One rainy day he took the horse out
of doors and, of course, he soon met
some umbrellas. Instead of being
frightened he went toward the umbrel.

The horse did not get one, but when
he reached home he had several.

KANSAS UNIQUE SCHEME.
Children Ride to School In Closed and
Heated Wagons.

One of the principal things that at
tracts the settler to town is the
school and then means of getting
there
In many sections of Kansas the
small boys and girls living on the
farms have had to tramp from one to
three miles through the mud and snow
to school. Now the plan of combining
small country districts about one
graded school and providing comforta-
Bile transportation for the children is
spreading rapidly.
The consolidated school is the dlsSo
luton Of two or more districts and the
formation of large one with graded
school in the center This makes the
transportation problem an important
one, and in all consolidated school dis
triCtS the tax levy Is made large
enough to pay for hauling the children
to school and back home A wagon Is
often purchased by the district and
contract given to some farmer to do
the hauling.
Sometimes the farmer takes a long
time contract and buys his own wag-
on. If farmer desires to haul his
own children to school the district
pays him a certain amount for doing 1t
or neighbors may club together and
turn over this money to one boy, who
drives the team each day and takes
care of 1t and sees that the children
get to school all right and safely home.
But the most common plan is the use
Of big covered and glass inclOSed
wagon with an oil heater inside.
Figures compiled by the state SUI
perintendent of instruction show that
the children do better work and In
less time than under the old methods.
The statistics on file in the office also
show that even with this great haul
ing expense the actual cost to the tax
payers is less in consolidated than In
separate districts. Better teachers are
employed and higher salaries paid,
but there is a larger reduction in fuel.

Scotland, is said to be n famous ex-
ample of the sympathy of the vegeta-
BILE world with human death. 1t was
anciently believed in the neighborhood
that a branch always fell from this
oak when a member of the family died.
Apparently the fall Of the original tree
early in the eighteenth century did not
break the sympathy, for new one
sprang from the old root, and it Is
upon record that as lately as 1874 an
