White Plains. N. Y, July 2.-When
Harry X. Thaw, who is lighting for
his release from the Matteawan hospi-
tai for the criminal insane, ooked
upon his wife for the first time since
August, 1909, as she mounted the wit
ness stand a few days ago to testlry
against him, he noted that great
man for whom, In a fit OF insane pas
sion, he had murdered Stanford White.
The %girlishness had entirely disap-
peared, the righteousness, so market
at former trials, had been replaced
with worldly cynicism, and the big.
fawnlike eyes, pictured BY artists as
brown and melting, had become as
cold as steel. Only when she smiled
was there a suggestion OF the Vlvac-
iuus Evelyn of old.
There were other changes quite as
marked. The slender 1gnre had be-
c1me a bit fuller; the arms and neck
had rounded out and there was an air
of independence about the woman not
noted at the former trials. She was
no longer the cIinging vine, depending
upon the protection of the state prose-
cutor when under the fire Of opposing
counsel. If there was any doubt as
to this it vanished when. during her
examination, she leaned from the Wit
ness chair and briskIy informed
Thaw's chief attorney she was quite
able to take care of herself.
The metamorphosis of Evelyn Thaw
was Indicated In physical changes In
her general demeanor and in her
gown. The short dress and white
sailor collar had been discarded for q
long robe which chung to her figure
and touched the gold buckles OF her
patent leather pumps, and a 1aring
plque neckpiece. the points Of which

The denomination Of ]. S. Sherman
as vice president by the republican
national convention at Chicago broke
no records. Three other vice presi-
dents had been reelected. They were
George Clinton, d. d. Tompkins and
John G. Calhoun.
1t is a noticeable fact however, that
Sherman Is the first vice president to
be renominated since the date OF con-
ventions. The first national political
convention was held in 1882 and the
three other men who served second
terms as vice presidents antedated
that period.
Clinton was vice president in 1904
and 1908. Tompkins served in 1916
for two terms and was succeeded i'm
mediately by Calhoun.
1t is a rather peculiar coincidence
that two of the three former vice pres
idents who were re reelected were from
New York state-as is the case of
James Schoolcraft Sherman.

MERE MEN.

! In Fargo, as elsewhere in the uni
verse it is the custom Of men to make
merry at the expense OF women. The
fairer sex r regarded as slaves to
fashion. Almost any. old thing that
has TO shave can stand on a corner
and talk by the yard about how fool
ish women are.
In summer clothing, however. the
women, admittedly display a great
deal better judgment than men-and
they certainly are no more slaves to
fashion than their critics.
The average mar wears a stiff shirt
and q high collar, and when on the
street--his supins slavery to fashion
and conyentionalities make him wear
e hot coat--and swelter and swear
Because Of the torridity.
Tne dear women come along In
something fImy and airy and cool
They look fresh and comfortable-in
sontrast to the perspiring and apo
pleptic looking trouser wearers.
The women are also laughed at for
Sseir prediction FOR the various
brands 81 soda and their fondness for
ta creams. In this too, they show
nsaRer Judgment than the men who

the very foundation of the republic
would tremble under Its eccentric

The strongest men who fought for

tie came to realize how matters too
Their intimate association with the
former president left them in disnay.
These leaders were fighting hard Tor a
principle. They had looked upon
Roosevelt as the Incarnation of that
living law which would deliver the
: people from conditions which brought
complaint from every quarter of the
country. They had gone into the fight
with a determination to win. But
when they reached Chicago and their
chosen leader hurried across the state
to take command of his fight and met
them the truth began to dawn upon
them. Here and there the story had
been whispered, but h danger was SO

DRINK suTTERMILk.

ButtarmiIk Ia one of the best sum
mer drinks. A good quality of pure
and well-preserved buttermilk is nu-
trftious, digestible and wholesome.
Many persons believe it possesses
qualities that preserve the health
and especially is it believed to be
good for enfeebled or impaired diges-
ton.
Those who have made a test Of but
termilk for stomach troubles say 1t
contains qualities that tend to correct
such impairment. Whether it be true
or not many hold to the belief that the
constant use Of buttermtlk has driven
away many Of their physical ills-up-
building and Strengthening their bod
les.
In some instances mothers have fed
their babies buttermilk instead OF
sweet milk with salutary effects. The
claim is made that this by-product
contains an element peculiarly potent
to proper regulation Of the infantile
stomach. However, as to the best and
safest nourishment for an infant the
mother and her physician should agree
and. in fact, they ought to be the
best judges.
In former years there was little sale
for buttermilk, but now its use is gem

stands. saloons and in department
stores. The demand is SO great that
ali who erv any kind Of drinks must
also have buttermilk. In the saloons
many prefer buttermilk to beer.

gown was OF channels brown and was
studded with ivory buttons the size
and shape Of pigeons eggs. The
jacket covered a white waist of fine
material and the whole was set off
by q black straw hat tastefully trim

With all her cynicism Evelyn Thaw
has become more beautiful. But her
beauty Is of the voluptuous type
That a heightened color, a matronly
self-assertiveness, a more resonant
voice and more perfect diction have
added to her charms was admitted
by. those who knew her during the
former trials.

shown to better advantage than on

She was grave, hippant, thoughtful
silent and verbose by turns, but SHE
was ever on the alert. She was about
as easy to confuse as a stone image
and as composed-when she wanted
to be-as a Presbyterian minister.
She argued with Mr.. Shearn; she
condoled with him, and often she cor.
rected him. She chided him, sided
with him. differed with him, repri-
manded him and INDUCED in repeated
spats with him. She adroitiy worked

Bismarck Palladium: BY nominating
L. B. Hanna as the republican candidate
for governor the people OF North Dako-
ia have endorsed a splendid type Of a
man who has always made the interests
Of North Dakota a paramount issue.
Bismarck State: 1t required a great
deal of work and considerable courage
to avert a threatened tragedy at Chi
cago when thousands of people shouted
themselves hoarse over Roosevelt and
a little more than a half thousand dele
gates stood their ground firmly and
voted against h man from Oyster Bay.
1t was the genuine patriotism which
has more than nce asserted itself
which made strong men determine that
that which seemed impending must not
come.

William Howard Taft was really the

the situation realized that with all or
his mistakes that an unselhsh Devotion.
to his country actuated him and his In
innate followers more than any desire
for personal preferment. They were
not fighting Roosevelt so much as they
were lighting against q danger that
would imperiI the government more
than any menace in the history OF the
United States. They offered to unite on
either of three men whom the Roose-
welt followers would agree upon and
unite the republican party after Roose-
welt had been defeated. They offered to
take up Borah, who was Rooseyelts
champion in the national committee.
Or they would support Hadley, who a
been the Roosevelt floor leader. OF they
would be glad to vote for Root,
the great chairman OF the convention.
But Roosevelt would not agree to any
of these. He had determined to create
a third party and to fight for the third
term. He had made UP his mind to go
into the White House again. And the
convention nominated Taft. Hundreds
Of men who had been loyal supporters
OF Roosevelt gave a sigh of relief when
the fight was over. They realized that
the nomination of Roosevelt was too
much OF a danger to the republic.
Their patriotism vas too strong.

Bismarck State: Every citizen Of
North Dakota has a to be proud of
the qualities of manhood displayed by
National Committeeman Kennedy at
Chicago when he and other members of
the committee were assailed by that
notorious political wanton, Francis j.
Heney. Heney has earned the reputa-
ton as a Killer" and there were evil
dences that he was carrying a gun
while he was applying his vile epithets
to the members of the committee who
did not agree with him. 1T was not the
lust Of blood with him so much, 1t
seemed, as a lust for notoriety, n he
seemed anxious to start a physical fight
in which he could kill somebody in or
der that the people would not forget his
existence. He began his TRADE on Jim
Kennedy and that gentleman did right
well. He upheld the reputation of
North Dakota by going to Mr.. Heney in
a way that had a splendid influence on
the ~belltgerent for a day OF two 1t
took a great many more men to hold
Kennedy than 1t did to hold Heney.

MInot Independent: There Is a pro-
gressive republican league in the state,
and the chairman Of the executive COM
mittee, H. N. Tucker, lives at Courte-
nay. The day before election, Mr..
Tucker sent out thousands of circulars
Il all parts Of h state urging The pro-
gressives to vote for n candidate only
where as many as three We're running
for the anne office. Now The Indepen-
lent claims to be just as progressive In
its views rs any newspaper in the
northwest but we can't stand for
fuckers unfair methods. The progress
sives will do well to read Mr.. Tucker
out of that wing of the republican par
ty.
Tucker said in of the circulars
'In the Third congressional district,
the ~progressives must vote for Norton
for first choice and Devine for second,
or Devine for first and Norton for Sec
ond choice. notwithstanding that the
second choice voting is optional neith-
er Of these candidates can win without
second choice votes.
9TH same is true in the Second con-
gressional district. Progressives must
pick for themselves the two strongest
men of the three progressives-Young,
White or Bessesen ana vote for the
strongest for irst choice and the next
strongest for second choice"
A nice way Mr.. Tucker would treat
his brother progressive.
Referring to h governor candidacy,
he says: Under this ruling, no pro-
gressive need vote for q stalwart for
second choice unless he wants to"

Associated Press Dispatch.
Hamilton, Bermuda, Dec S. The
story Of just how tho engagement for
the approaching conference Of Presl-
dent-elect Wilson with william Jen-
nings Bryan came to be made was
told today. It seems that just before
Wilson's departure from Princeton
and while he was keeping his destl
nation secret in order to avoid call
ors, word came to Bryan that the
prcsident-Glect was going to Florida.
1t happened that Bryan already had
made plans to visit Miami and in
writing to the President-elect cas-
ually mentioned the fact, adding that
he might drop in on the next presi-
dent, some DAY, if the latter hap
pened to locate nearby. The letter
was moi received by Mr.. Wilson until
after he arrived at Hamilton In re /.
ply he said he would be pleased to
meet Col Bryan when he returned to
the United States. That is the ey-
tent Of the correspondence between
the two Democratic leaders since the
election. The presdent-elect has not
permitted himself be troubled over
the prediction Of factional difference
affecting his administration.

sorts Of criEs-crosses," he said, to-
