Cambridge led at the start. but Oxford
pulled up even at the first quarter and
at the end of the first half-mile was in
the lead Cambridge showed a spectacu-
lar burst of speed at the three miles and
three-uuarters and when within a quar-

Suit Against Governor.

During the coming week the trial of the
suit of Farmer against Gov. Mann. de-
manding damages for failure to represent
him in a suit, will be called in this city.

governor to represent him in some liti-
CATION in connection with land action.

suing Farmer. Farmer claims to have
sustained a heavy loss by this. hence the
suit for damages.
Richard f. Byrd is counsel for the gov
ernor. When the governor was informed
by Farmer. after the suit was brought
against Farmer. that he (Farmer) eX-
pected the governor to appear for him
Judge Mann retired from the case and
other counsel was substituted. This suit
was an issue in the gubernatorial cam

Want Two Primaries.
Candidates for the general assembly are
asking that there shall be two primaries
this year-one to nominate members of
the legislature and one to nominate can
didates for the United States Senate.
The cry is being raised that if both
nominations are made at one and the
same time there will be a swapping of
votes. There are great many who ia
vOr a single primary on the ground that
lit will materially lessen expenses and
serve to bring out a full vote. The state
committee has fixed the date for the SEN
atorial primary and the local committees
are empowered to fix the date for their
primaries or conventions.

Prudence Milton as much as year
ago discovered that Alfred Ruthyen
possessed all the qualities that go TO
make a man noble and splendid and
brave-no, not bravel A brave man
would have proposed to Prudence long
since. But Alfred. Prudence knew.

prosperous. Just one thing he lacked
-self-confldence Alfred was bashful
on the love subject.
A great many men are SO. They
can discuss politics, the musical
glasses. the drama. literature. art,
science and the classics fluently with
a young woman. but they shy away
from the real heart interest like an
aeroplane lodging a church steeple.
Why, Prudence had inveigled Alfred
into long walks with her in the sill
very moonlight OF spring and the gol-
den moonlight OF summer-all to no
avail. Once, In August, she was boat
ing with him, and she had pretended
to be afraid the boat would capsize
What would you do II 1t did?" she
asked him.
Naturally she expected him TO reply
that he would plunge in after her
and save her or perish in the attempt
Such heroic remark as that would OF
course lead into a more passionate
avowal Of his reasons for being will
ing to lay down his young life for her
and then. Of course, he could easily
hop-skip right along to q request that,
since he WAS willing to die for her,
she might consider favorably a propo-

But when she asked him. with
tremulous shake in her lovely voice,
and with a world OF faith and trust
In her lustrous eyes:
What would you do II the boat

He never even stopped rowing. He
Just said:

Prudence almost capsized the boat
from sheer vexation then. When a

Come we now to Christmas eve. Pru-
dence had. by ways and means familiar
to the feminine mind. conveyed to the
bashful Alfred the intelligence that
she had made for him n Christmas re-
membrnnce. Never mind how she did
this. You, II you are a man grown,
will be able TO bark back into your
own past and bring up some instances
OF woman's diplomacy wherein she
was able to tell you something with
out saying anything In particular. Just
gave your intuition a chance.

ways, always. man must reciprocste
in advance to a lady.
So Alfred might have been seen
stepping hesitatingly up the steps of
the Milton home on Christmas eve.
He carried small package IN one
hand. II was his intention TO deliver
this TO whoever came to the door, with
message that II was for Prudence.
In answer to his ring no less per.
son than Prudence herself opened the
door. Her eyes we're sparkling, her
cheeks We're rosy. and in one hand she

So Alfred came right in. shyly and
slyly depositing the little package on

or later she will bring that man to
his knees, or her feet. as you like to
put It.
Let us pass lightly over the glorious
days OF fall, when Prudence allowed
Alfred to call several times and find
her in the kitchen with an apron on
helping her mother put up jellies and
preserves and things. Let us even
pass lightly over the evening when
she showed him the blister upon her
fair white hand made by a sputter-
ing drop OF apple butter. Yes. pass
lightly over It. ANY sane man, any
man In possession OF ordinary facul-
ties, when beautiful young creature
held out little white hand and show
ed him a blister thereon-not big
blister, Just a sort OF beauty spot of
a blister-would have taken that hand
in his and all but wept over IT, He
would have asked her to give that
hand to him and to come along with
It herself, and would have sworn by
nlBn heaven ana tne marching btdrs
and the sun and moon and sky that
never again should that wonderful
hand know the wearying stress of
toll! What did Alfred do?
He looked at the blister appraising.
ly-without taking those taper fingers
in his-and he said:
"Stick needle under II from one
side and let the water out, then put a
little peroxide on II tomorrow"
Shades OF Romeol Memories OF

wonder that Prudence brought her
pretty lips together in a straight line
and regi- tered mental vow that AL.

house with the holly and stun for the
holidays. Now I've Just boen trying
to tie this bunch to the chandelier"
She mounted chair and afiixed the
bunch OF green sprays to the chande-
lied. Alfred stood In dumb admira-
ton. He looked at Prudence, and he
looked at the green herbiags which
she fastened to the fixture. She loolc
ed down at him, smiling, then put out
her hand.
Help me down." she said.
Alfred caught her hand to assist her
to come from the chair.

do and dare as he never dreamed OF
doing or daring The philosophers
call such times psychological mo-
menta. This was one. Alfred helped
Prudence down. and II was quite nat
ural and easy for her to find herself
in his arms when she reached the
floor. And then before she knew what
he was about-at least, so she said
he had kissed her.

And then Alfred found tongue az
last and told her what she had wanted
him to tell her all the year. And he
asked her to be his Christmas gift,
and she consented In what is so often
called the time-honored way. That Is.
she allowed him to put the kiss back
where he got II.
Later that evening Alfred said to
her:

pose to you II II hadn't been for thas

pires by Limitation June 80, 1914 1t is
TO be expected that as the time draws
near for the expiration of the existing
law, there viii be a growing demand
for some form Of permanent legisla-
ton. Whether this will result in the
enactment of the Aldrich plan or one
quite different is something quite i'm
possible to forecast
The national monetary commission
was authorized in the emergency cur
rency measure OF 1908. the Aldrich-
Vreeland law IT was provided for by
congress In unusually liberal fashion.
1t was given continuing and unlimit-
ed appropriation. No public statement
Of the total the commission has ex-
pended has been given, the form OF
the law not making this Incumbent.
AS now constituted, the commission
consists of senator Nelson W. Aldrich,
chairman, and representative Edward
B. Vreeland. vice chairman; senator's
Burrows, Hale, Money and Bailey, sec
rotary OF state Knox. former senator
Teller, representatives Burton, Weeks,
Smith of California, Padgett, Burgess
and Puto and former representative
Boynge. The original act provided
that the commission was to be COM
posed Of members Of the senate and
house But this was amended so that
members OF the commission on retiring
from congress could continue to serve
on the commission and receive the
same pay allowed them while in con-
gress: that is, $500 a year Under
this provision. senators Aldrich, Bur
rows, Hale and Money. when their terms
expire as senators March 8, will con-
tinue to serve as members Of the COM
mission.

When the commission took up the
duties imposed on it. it's members con-
cluded that the first essential was
the assembling of needed information
on banking and currency matters, es-
pecially on the money systems OF the
leading countries Of the world = sub
committee of six was sent to Europe
in the summer of 1908. A sub-commft
tee was also sent to Canada. Exhaust
ed INQUIRIES were made The governor
OF the Bank Of England and the direc
tors and managers of the great joint
stock banks of that country, came De-
fore the subcommittee and gave tes-
timony covering a wide field. In
France. Germany and other European
countries the foremost banking au-
thorities willingly gave information TO
the commission. The best informed au-
thorities on monetary questions the
world over were retained to prepare
reports and documents for the use OF
the commission. 1t was found, so
members Of the commission say, that
there was an acute interest in Europe
in the question of monetary reform
