The situation at present Is just ex-
actly what the followers of Under
wood have been waiting for and 1t is
the general opinion that the tie-up be-
tween Wilson and Clark will ultimate
ly result In the nomination of Ala
bama's favorite SON. said culpepper
Exum, president of the city commission,
who, with Commissioner Weatherly. re-
turned from Baltimore last night. II
have never witnessed such lasting en-
thusiasm as that evinced in the Balti-
more convention by the Underwood del
egation and boosters. At no stage of
the game have they relaxed their en-
deavors to land the nomination and
they have played the game with a
steady assurance that is bound to win
in the long run. Another thing I no.
tieed and that was the answering
loyalty of the delegates from Georgia,
Mississippi and Florida and that their
enthusiasm was just as pronounced as
those from our own state
One of the real pleasures of the
convention was to learn of the sincere
respect the delegates from every Sec
ton had for Oscar Underwood, and
there is not the slightest doubt that
lse is the second choice of a great ma
jority of the delegates.
/ II was surprised to find the strong
hold Bryan stiH has on the democratic
party. l would suggest that before
holding another convention, if such a
thing should ever occur again. 1t would
be we'll to find out what Bryan wants
beforehand and be governed accord
ingly Like many other men who have
held strong hand, he has overdone
the thing this time and his attempt at
absolute dictatorship has been resent
ed not only by his opponents but by
mdny of his friends.
while j am glad to be home again,
had 1t not been for the press of bus
mess connected with the city | would
have stayed in Baltimore until the con-
yention came to an end. I sincerely
believe that Oscar Underwood will land
the nomination unless some unforeseen
incident occurs that will put an en-
tire change on the situation as it was
when l left Baltimore"

night, Mr.. Underwood has much bet-
ter chance than the other two leading
candidates. for while there is much

Bryan has been the red flag in the

like it was getting calm and might
really accomplish something outside of
biting one another and yelling at the
chairman, he would calmly poke some
peevish delegate with stick and he'd
start rough house.

six days. II has done nothing except to

has prevented the convention at times
from rising upon its hind legs and doing

TRADE IN WOODEN SHOES

led Market, Which Was Unsettled
by overproductlon.

Last year was unfavorable to the
wooden shoe manufacturers in Hol
land owing to the keen competition
of the Belgians and decided over
production here. This years pros.
poets are somewhat brighter.
The scarcity of willow wood, from
which those shoes were formerly
made, has caused the market to
steady up little. Poplar and some
Russian woods are also being used
more extensively than heretofore.
The cost of the wod from which
the shoes are made is about 36 per
cubic meter, out of which 100 pairs Of
ordinary size can be made. The
wholesale price Of these shoes Is IL
cents. One workman is able to make
IL to Is pairs in day, from which Il
can be inferred how narrow Is the
margin of profit in the industry.
Relatively few wooden shoes are
produced by machinery for export.
but with this exception all the wood
en- shoes are made by hand in Hol.
land. About twenty different tools
are required in the operation. A year
or 80 ago several German capitalists
started factories in this country to
make wooden shoes by machinery, but
failed. Machine-made shoes, It II
said, are not we'll finished, and some
handwork is always necessary to
make them satisfactory.

REASONS WHY THE GRANGE
Answers for Questions Propounded
by the Uninformed.

People unfamiliar with the work Of
the Grange. in it's broadest and ma
tional sense, are often heard inquiring
what 1t all means and why there is
a field for such an organization In
present day affairs A more concise
and comprehensive answer to such
questions can hardly be given than in
these very timely replies, as Seven
Reasons Why the Grange" They are
worth the reading by anyone who does
not understand what the order is for
and the lines along which it is trying
to do its work:
l. It contributes to the social life
by frequent regular meetings in which
the art of sociability is so agreeably
and informally taught as to fascinate
rather than repel those participating
in the exercises
@ Contributes to the high moral
standard by affording convenient and
agreeable society for old and young In
which the highest standard of moral
ity is maintained, thereby preventing
association of its members in society
of the opposite nature.
3. 1t contributes to the happiness
of home by the mental recreation af-
forded all members of the family In
the various Grange gatherings at
tended, thereby broadening their men,
tai vision and increasing their happi-
ness, which is sure to be reflected IN
their home life.
4. 1t contributes to the material
prosperity by its discussion OF all mat
ters of importance tending to local
development, and often Is instrument
tai in securing the establishment OF
industries that give added population
as well as taxable property, thereby
indirectly aiding every taxpayer in
town
8 1t contributes to the general In
tellieence Of the inhabitants by its fire.
Quent discussion Of questions OF
public nature and by the educating in
nuence of other exercises, resulting In
mental develol ment and more intel
ligent citizenship, which is an uplift-
ing force in any town
6 1t contributes to the general
welfare by dissipating neighborhood
uuarrels, by breaking up long-standing
feuds caused by church. school, or So
ciety troubles, by promoting better
roads, better schools, and better farm
ing. by stimulating more interest In
public affairs, resulting in the election
of better men to office and better en-
forcement of law as well as the better
transaction of the public business OF
towns, counties and states.
T. A subordinate Grange contri-
butes in these ways to the upbuilding
of a rural community by making 1t
more desirable place in which to live
and making its citizens more intelli-
gent, more prosperous and more
happy.

HER DINING ROOM FURNITURE
How the kind-Hearted and Gifted
Rosa Bonheur Helped
Young Wife.

1--WE are not brothers for nothing"
Rosa Bonheur once wrote in jesting
affection to her brother Isidore; and
in truth the wonderful, quaint. boyish
little woman, with her bright eyes,
cropped curls and breezy ways, was
almost more brotherly chum than
sister to the "Dodore" whom she so
dearly loved. Much Of the time on
her country estate, in her studio and
among her animals, wild and tame.
she wore the masculine costume
which her manner Of life required, to
wear which she had-with one other
woman, famous explorer and archie
ologist-received express permission
from the French government. Yet
this very mannish little person was
far from unwomanly In her sympa.
thles; and her latest biography re.
cords a pretty incident related by her
friend, Joseph Verdier, the landscape
painter.
zone evening she was dining with
me and some friends. Among the
friends was young lady recently mar
ried, who gave us an account Of the
furnishing of her house. All the
rooms were furnished except the din.
ing room; for this last her husband
could not yet give her the money, and
she was compelled to hold her little re-
ceptions in her sleeping room.
after dinner Rosa asked me for
large sheet Of drawing paper, and
while we were talking she sketched
a delightful hunting scene, which she
signed with her full name. Then, un.
der cover Of general conversation on
music, while tea was being served, she
approached the young wife, and said
to her.:
"'Take this picture to Tedesco on
your return to Paris and he will give
you at least 1900 francs for 1t. Z.
Then you will be able to furnish your
