JOKE ON PROGRESSVES
IN CIRCULAR ISSUE
CONSIDERATION THROWN IN
PROGRESSIVE RANKS WHEN
EGAN CALLED HIS FRIENDS
FOR CONVENTION.


When the progressive republicans
met here III convention to endorse
Robert La Toilette for the presiden-
cy a big surprise was worked on
them in the form of a joke. Some
bills We're printed in which George
W.. Egan called on his friends to be
at the court house for the convention
and that there would be something
doing. One OF the circulars was
handed to Peter Norbeck, the presi-
dent of the League, and when he
read it surprise was written on his
face and he commenced to .expostu-
late on the affair and wondered
what it all meant. Norbeck COM
menced TO scent trouble right away
as long as Egan seemed to bat
tie, and he hurried off to discuss the
matter.
Some of the progressives encoun-
tered Egan c few moments after
ward. II they wanted to know
what he was going to do with his
friends in the convention. Egan
laughed and said: "Oh, go ahead
with Your thirteen cent convention.
| don't care a continental what you
fellows do"
Still the mystery of the circuar
was not explained satisfactorily to
some of the progressives who we're
looking for trouble, and did not
know where to head it off. The
meeting went on, however, and Egan
Or none of his friends appeared on
the scene with their tomahawks in
hand to do any scalping. When the
convention adjourned the relief vas
intense when nothing had happened
to mar the harmony Of the occasion.
The GOLDSMITH in connection with
the affair was Charley Cooper, the
lieutenant Of Dick Richards, who
conceived the idea of throwing some
CONSERVATION into the ranks of the
progressives. He handed the circu-
to Peter Norbeck and then stood
on the side lines and watched with
what he considered a great deal of
sport the efforts to get things
slaughtered out with Egan. The
bill that was handed to Norbeck was
the only n that was put out.

HIS HASTY
LUNCH
BY Mabel Claire Smith

Sam Elwood was a very big very
bashful and very good looking
young fellow of perhaps TWEEN
ty-three years. He lived with his ia
ther and mother on a Missouri farm
and, since a paralytic stroke had per
manenuy disabled the elder man two
years before, the work of the 200-acre
place had fallen into Sans capable
hands The one thing Sam feared was
girl.
If any girl wants Sam she'll have
to do the courting," Mrs Elwood once
remarked, unaware that the youth in
question was within earshot. Sam d
never in this world screw his courage
to the popping point"
This assertion was so true that
Sans ears tingled whenever he
thought Of it. 1t had grown to be a
very sensitive matter by the time a
distant connection of the family came
to visit at the farm.
When he heard that the visitor was
young lady he groaned in anguish Of
mind He planned to keep out of her
way as much as was possible, eating
his breakfast from the pantry shelves,
taking his dinner to the field with him
and skirmishing for his supper. He
didn't know just how he could avoid
sitting at table with her on Sunday.
He thought seriously of staying in bed
all of Sunday The one objection to
that was the extra trouble 1t would
cause his mother She would not un-
derstand his indisposition when he had
never been i'll since his babyhood
Still, If nothing better occurred, Sam
resolved to have a headache the first
Sunday, at least

unsociable," demonstrated his mother,

"Shucks" muttered Sam, his ears

'antry shelf and fed upstairs, a light
