his stall comfortably. He sat through
the performance peacefully. his hands

him, one must have wondered why he
had come to "Mandalay." He scarce
Tiy lost any OF the threads Of his own
reflections, though when Miss Lane in
response to q call from the house,
sang her cradle song three times, he
seemed moved. The tones OF her pure

and her cooling. gentle tone, to judge
by the softening OF the Westerner's
face, touched very much the big fell
low who listened like child. At the
end he drew his handkerchief slowly
across his eyes. but the tears. or
rather moisture, that rose there was
not all due to Miss Lanes song. for
Ruggles was extremely warm.
He could see that in his box the
boy sat transfxed and absorbed. Dan
went out in the second entr'acte and
was absent when the curtain went

MRS. LONGWORTH THERE,
Clothes and Movements Are Watched
Closely.

Chicago, Ill. When the mon
ster crowd gathered at the Coliseum
it included women Of many creeds.
There were those who believed in
votes for women, those who believe
in pleasures for women, clothes for
women, society for women and even
those who did not believe in votes for
women. In fact. the anti-suffragettes
have thrown their hats into the ring.

Quarter Of Million Bet on Convention

Chicago. ILL., = Two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars has been
placed in bets in this city on the
result Of the Republican convention.
This Is the estimate placed by a
well-known gambler of the city
who has handled nearly $4,000
in wagers from Fasteners. Although
odds In some cases have beer
given that Roosevelt would get the
nomination, the betting on the two
big candidates stood at about ever
money.

The Roosevelt leaders said they
were surprised at the Root vote and
that they expected him to poll be-
tween 575 and $50 votes. They pro-
fessed to be jubilant over their view
Of the situation. but at the same time
it was impossible for them to figure
out on q paper majority for the colo
mel.
Governor Hadley Of Missouri under
direction Of Colonel Roosevelt him
self, will continue the fight begun to
substitute 90 Roosevelt delegates for
an equal number Of Taft delegates
seated by the national committees In
contest cases. The Taft leaders say
that ample opportunity will be given
for q discussion Of this proposition,
but at the same time they character
ize It as entirely without the bounds
Of reason and declare that any other
person might Just a. well present his
idea % to who should compose the
temporary roll call Of the convention.
cochem Resigns.
Henry +. Cochem, the Wisconsin
delegate, who nominated McGovern
and thereby clashed with Houser and
the La Toilette delegation from his
state, resigned as a member of the
delegation. He issued sharp attack
on La Toilette in which he accused
the Wisconsin senator Of having pur-
sued a selfish and peryersely mar
row policy"
The Taft managers privately adj
mitted that the vote on the election
Of Senator Root as temporary chair
man was "too close to be comf0rta-
BILE" although they insisted they would
be able to maintain control Of the
convention.
1.-THE vote showed Enthusiastically
that we have control" said Director
Mckinley as he hurried into confer
ence with his aides.
Seek to Hold Margin.
Every effort to the Taft captains was
directed toward holding firmly that
narrow majority of 10 by which Sem
ator Roots election was accomplished.
Estimates by Taft partisans placed the
real Taft majority In the convention
at between six and ten.
William Barnes, Jr., who led the
fight for the Taft forces was jubilant
in the belief that he had made GER
tain the defeat of Roosevelt. He
claimed strength for Taft but pointed
out no SPECIFIC accessions to the Taft
column.
Urged "To Follow Hadiey."
Colonel Roosevelt and his leaders
decided to make the contest over the
report of the credentials committee
decisive test of strength.
Governor Hadley of Missouri receiv-
ed a commission to exercise free
hand in directing the fight on tho
floor of the convention. Word was
passed to all the Roosevelt delegates
ito follow Hadley."
Talk of bolt as result of the
decision to disregard the action Of
majority of the convention unless 1t
be composed of uncontested delegates
was said to be unfounded.
Colonel Roosevelt addressed eau
Gus of Roosevelt delegates for quar-
ter of an hour. He congratulated them
ON the stand they had taken in the
convention and urged them to stand
by Governor Hadley.

THE CREAMERY PROPOSITION


1t is a we'll established fact that
the dairy business is a most profita-
bic adjunct to the farm. and it is a
strange thing that the farmers will
not back local creameries There is
a deep-seated prejudice against milk
ing cows, and especially is this true
of the younger generation, but from
no other source can as much profit
accrue to the farmer as from the
dairy business. When crop seasons
are good the average tiller of the soil
prefers to do the work which is more
to his liking and not milk any more
cows than will furnish butter, milk
and cream for his own use. But when
grain crops are poor the COW proves
her true worth to the farmer, and
many man has been tided over a
tight place by the receipt of the
monthly cream check. 1t is strange,
therefore, that those who have actual
proof that dairying is most profita-
BILE feature of farming, will not pay
more attention to the cream PROPOSE
ton. If the farmers would support
local creameries their profits would
be largely increased.
