We have even the little balais

And these admirable kitchen uten-

There is also, in the way of trim

the finest ornament of some OF our

tra-suppleness is a prominent feature
of the latest hat. Felt veloute and
plush are particularly in vogue. Al
most all small hats are made OF SILKY

supple hat is in bithmune plush. The

Thousands of applications already

those from other states while he is

common query on the streets these
DAYS. And if man who put in a
few hours to assist in getting out the
democratic vote denies emphatically
that he wants anything in the nature
of an office it is a cause for some
surprise.
1t is said that the suggestion
that cities and towns throughout the
state hold primaries for postmas-
tiers, and get behind the man who
wins out, has taken well with some
of the congressman, who want to be
everybody's friend.
1T would be a source of great re-

delegation" said one of them, IF
some such plan as this were adopted.
Nobody likesto make ten or a dozen
men sore where he makes one hap

turns out, and the chances are there
will be more serious opposition to
the members of the Georgia delega-
ton two years from now than there
has been in a long time. I'd gladly
give a gold medal to the fellow who
would induce my district to Adopt the

notwithstanding the recent state
ment of Senator Hoke Smith, in
which he indicated that he would
take little part in the distribution Of
the Georgia patronage, it is said that
he is being flooded with requests
from all parts of the state upon the
assumption that he holds the winning
hand with the administration.
There is no question, it is said
that Senator Smith meant just what
he said in his interview, and that the
patronage of the state will be dis
tributed largely through the con-
gressmen in their respective dis
tricts.

On All Problems of the Campaign

sci. How He Lost His Sight.
NEW YORK.-Senator Thomas
Pryor Gore of Oklahoma is to be the
democratic leader of the United
States senate, according to informa-
ton received yesterday from the
highest sources. 1t was furthermore
stated by these same excellent au-
thorities that the Gore programme
as to leadership is already understood
and accepted by President-elect Will
son, says the Sun.
In all matters political, social and
personal President-elect Wilson and
Senator Gore are on familiar terms.
More than a year ago Senator Gore
came out strong for the nomination
of Governor Wilson. During the re-
cent campaign and since the Okla
homa statesman has been a frequent
visitor to Governor Wilson's home in
New Jersey.
On all the problems of the campaign
the president-elect sought Senator
Cores counsel. At democratic ma
tional Headquarters in the Fifth ave
nue. building in New York city SEN
ator Gore was in close communion
with Chairman McCombs, Acting
Chairman McAdoo and their associate
canpaigners.
Squinted Into Loaded Gun.
Senator Gore is AZ years old. He
is ser wing his second term in the sen
ate. His term will expire March 9rd,
1915. Senator Gore is blind. When
he was years oil he was accidea.ai-
ls truck in the left eye by stick
which a companion threw to the
ground. The whole thing was an
accident, the stick rebounding and
striking him under part of the eye
ball Some injury of the optic nerve
resulted and the sight gradually f.
ed in that eye.
When he was II years old and
page in the Mississippi senate-he
was born and brought up in that
state-he bought an air gun to take
home to his brother for Christme
present. Some of the children at the
hotel where he was living wanted to
see it work, and naturally an IL
year-old boy did not need to be
ed twice. While he was showing it
of the rod he was firing kept catch
ing in the barrel, so finally having
placed it in position young Gore
squinted down the barrel-with his
good eye, of course-to see if every
thing was all right that time. Some
how or other the gun went of, and
so did part of his right eye. Of
course the sight was destroyed.
