UNDERWOOD
TO BE CHOSEN
AS SPEAKER
IF CLARK Is NOMINATED
For the Presidency at Bal
timOFe

Washington, D. c., June 21-By far
the most important pre-convention
story which has broken loose here
became current today when it was ru-
mored that Champ Clark would re-
sign the speakers place in the event
of his nomination at Baltimore, and
that Congressman Underwood succeed
him; that Francis Burton Harrison, OF
New York, a member of the House
Ways and Means committee, would
succeed Underwood as majority leader
in the house, and that in order to make
the plan go New York's ninety votes
in the convention would be landed
In the Clark column.
In addition to this, it was stated,
that either Senator OGorman or Con-
gresham Redfield, of New York,
would get second place on the ticket
Redtield is an avowed candidate foY
second place and is looked upon as
one of the strongest democrats in the
house, because of his tariff views.
Senator O'Gorman, while not going
as far as Redfeld, and making no
open fight to land the vice presidency,
is in a receptive mood, and will take
the nomination if it is rendered him.
Clark would resign the speakers
place, if nominated, because he would
not wish to take the chances of plac-
ing himself in an embarrassing posi-
ton and at the tame time the moral
effect on the voters will be better
should he cut entirely loose from con-
gress until after the election.

What the
Man Said

Whenever Mile Kasper and Ralph
Waters approached within hailing dis
lance of each other they were instant
ly plunged into a panicky, embarrassed
silence. 1t was such an assertive ST.
lence that it drew the attention OF
everyone within sight. The knowledge
of this added to the misery of the two
principals.
1t was remarkable that two persons
who were so shy should have fallen in
love with each other. Not that they
precisely knew they were in love- They
merely realized that it was impossible
for them to stay away from each 9th
er, and that it was an agony to be in
each others presence. They suffered
because they never had anything to
say TO each other.
Sometimes Mile in sheer despera-
ton would carefully rehearse a con-
versation for the next time she saw
Ralph, but if she remembered her
part Ralph, of course, was not aware
of the part she had assigned to him,
anu AObCOy Gan N1l y Oll q COhN SI pa
ton without at least a little assist
ance.
While carefully tying his necktie
and brushing his coat preparatory to
calling on Mile, Ralph frequently fix
ed in his mind some joke with the in
tention of repeating it to Mile and
thus making himself appear perfectly
at ease and indeed bit of a wag. All
the while he was laying these plans
he had the hideous certainty in the
bottom of his soul that when he ar
rived at Miles he would be seized,
bound and gagged by his unconquer-
able ditfdence, and would sit squirm-
ing in silence, with his lips as immov-
able as though padlocked
1t is impossible for two persons,
however shy, to sit staring at each
other in silence for two or three hours
at time. So it had grown to be the
habit of these two to play two-handed
cribbage. The necessary remarks Of

four" and the like had to them the
reassuring effect of brilliant repartee.
Occasionally these remarks so braced
them up that they smiled timidly,
tieetingly at each other thus making
their hearts thump unanimously and
hopelessly confusing their game.
The exasperating part of it was that
they were not troubled in this way by
the presence of other people. Neither
of them was Vivacious, yet they found
not the slightest difficulty in express
ing their thoughts to others when it
was necessary. The pail of silence az
liicted them only when they were
with each other
When Ralph was seized by jealousy
at the sight of Mile talking to an
other man he began to have an ink
ling of how things stood with him.
The thought of telling her that he
loved her sent him into a cold chill
And the idea of some other man MAX
ing love to her successfully gave him
another chill. Altogether he was very
unhappy.
There were times when Mile
thought darkly of the situation and
decided that Ralph cared nothing for
her except as a mere friend, yet when
she weighed against this decision the
fact that he called four or five times a
week and endured the anguish of their
unconversational evenings her melan-
choly conviction was shaken. He must
like to come. Still, If he did, why
didn't he say so?
Ralph did try once, deliberately. 1t
was just after he had said "Fifty-four"
one evening in their third game of
cribbage, and he hurried on without
taking breath. Before he realized it
he had said: Il want to tell you some
thing, Millie-I-er-think it's going
to be nice day tomorrow"
After this tremendous speech they
had both sat in electrified silence, not
daring to look at each other.
IF that fellow wants to ask you to
marry him, Millie,' said her f-ther,
who was blunt and impatient, and if
he can't say it, why doesn't he sing
it,"
Thereupon Mile wept and said that
her father had no sympathy and be-
sides it was perfectly ridiculous to as
sumo that Ralph cared a single thing
about her.
The family always considerably de.
parted when Ralph arrived, so that no
alien presence might distract him, but
nothing ever happened. After all this
thoughtfulness, it seemed odd that
when Ralph finally made himself I'M

"N-n-no," gasped Mile, amazed at
her own daring.

HAD TO EAT HIS PARTNER
George Cohan's Story of Actor Who
Had to Wait Too Long for
Engagement.

George M. Cohan, at an after-theater
supper at Delmonico's, was talking
about the turkey trot."
There's moving little story about
the turkey trot,'" he said, with his
dreamy smile, "a story that illustrates
we'll the vicissitudes of an actors
life.
''An elderly actor said in despair to
theatrical agent one day:
"Is there nothing you can do for
me? I've hung around your Office, out
of work, for eight months now
"The agent, as he polished his dia-
niond ring with his red silk handker-
chief, answered thoughtfully:
"Look here. Bring yourself up to
date. The turkey trot" is all the go.
You train some animal or bird to do
the turkey trot" with you, and I'll get
you on one of the circuits at a three
figure salary"
'The old actor thanked the agent
gratefully. He bought an ostrich from
retired circus man, and after lot
of hard work he taught the bird to
turkey trot' with him splendidly
Then he reported himself to the agent
again.
'But the agent, for all his promises.
had nothing to offer. The poor fellow
turned up every day for while, then
every other day, then every third day,
and at last week went by without
his appearance at the agents office.
"Then the agent sent for him, and
said:
"'Well, I've fixed you up at last.
I've booked you for that turn of yours

"But the old actor interrupted sad
ly:
Its too late now,' he said.
Too late? How is it too later"
said the agent, frowning.
"T've had to eat my partner NUT

The first field-glasses brought TO the
New Hebrides sorely puzzled the SIM

thought them the product of wizardry.

Coombs tells how one of the mission
clergy was walking along the shore,
when a native at his side pointed out
a tiny finger in the distance.

The white man, drawing out his field
glasses, and adjusting the focus, hand

through them in excited amazement,
beheld his foe apparently close at
hand. Dropping the glasses, he seized
his arrows and looked again. The
enemy was as far away as at first
Once more he snatched the magic
glasses, once more exchanged them for
his arrows, and once more was baf-

hard indeed. A bright thought sud-

SUGAR PLUM. CENTURIES OLD
II Was Invented by Julius Dragatus,
Roman Baker, In the Year
177 3. c.

OF all candies, perhaps the sugar
age. 1t was the invention of one Ju-
lius Dragatus, noted Roman baker
and confectioner, a member of the
family of the Fabii
Dragatus put forth the first speci-
men Of this confection in the year TT
B. c. The bonbons of this variety
were called dragati, after their inven-
tor (dragees is French), and their
manufacture constituted a monopoly
enjoyed exclusively by the Fabian
family. Whenever there was a birth
or marriage in that family a great
distribution of dragati took place as
an evidence of rejoicing. This GUS
tom is still retained by certain of the
old noble families of Europe.
The pastile is Of far later origin.
1t was invented and introduced into
France by an Italian confectioner, the
Florentine Pastilla, a protege of the
Medici. When Maria de Medici mar
ried Henry Nv of France Pastilla ac-
companied his royal patron to the
French court, where his bonbons soon
achieved a tremendous vogue. Every
body ate the Florentine's candies.
They were offered in all flavors.
Burnt almonds are a confection of
purely French origin, owing their in
ception to the gluttony of French
merchant. One day. tradition has it,
Marshal Duplessis- pralin sent for Las
sagne, the inventor of many tooth
some dainties, and bade him concoct
a new bonbon. Lassagne searched, re-
flected, combined, until he finally hit
upon the confection of burnt almonds,

the old gourmet, the French for

Vile have sold their large live Wild
cat, captured one year ago, to r. At

cat has been used TO kill rats which
infest Mr.. Brower's barn.
The animal, which is apparently
eight or ten years old and weighs fif-
teen pounds, killed ten rats in less
than FIVE minutes when they were
thrown one by one into its cage. The
boys had some dangerous sport with
the wildcat few days ago when they

and pulled it from the cage. Mr..
Brewer stopped the sport before any

rocious animal. II was shipped by

BEASTS ARE GOOD SWIMMERS
Rhinoceros, Elephant, Elk, Reindeer
and Most Other Animals Better
Than Man in Water.

Nearly all animals are better swim

ter naturally, while he has to learn
to propel himself The rhinoceros
and hippoiNtamus are wonderful
swimmers and divers, while the In
dian elephant crosses great rivers
with heavy loads. The elk and rein
deer are first class swimmers. The
elk keeps his head above water and
crosses directly from bank to bank
to avoid turning. The reindeer on
the other hand, turns as often as he
likes, keeping his head only a little
above the surface. But of all swim
mers of all cimes the best, though
not the swiftest, is the polar bear,
who passes halt his time in the wa

ming power is nothing short OF mi
raculous if it be remembered that
the water in the regions he frequents
is invariably cold and that cold is
normally prohibitive to good swim

One Of the swiftest swimming ami
