This Is the statement Of ormsby Me-

McHarg holds that It would be mani
festly unfair to allow contested dele
gates to vote on question that would
influence the settlement of the contest.
This is the question on which the
contests In some States are based. On
the other hand, the Taft men say the
demand Is political trick Roosevelt
followers have contested 260 seats, and
IL these delegates Wers barred from

LONG TIME" IS DEFINED
Remark Of Governor Of North Caro-
lima to. Governor Of South Caro-
lima Brought into Court.

The oft-quoted remark OF the Gov
ernor of North Carolina to the Gov
ernor OF South Carolina has at last
been brought into court, carefully
construed, and found not to be so
long as some other times. II Is prob
able that II was the exceeding
droughtiness of the interval which
made It seem long. In a prosecution
for the Illegal sale of whisky in Ala
bama. witness testified that he had
bought a pint OF liquor OF the ac-
cused "a short time" before the grand
jury returned the indictment against
him. II was objected that this evil
dence did not show that the prose-
cution had been begun within IL
months after the sale of the whisky,
the time limited by statute for begin
ming prosecution. In discussing
this objection, the Supreme court, in
Wilson versus State, Sc Southern
Reporter, ia, after holding that "a
short time" might be taken In the con-
nection In which Il was used to re-
fer to period less than 12 months,
said, by way of illustration: The
expression a long time would refer
to a very different period Of duration
and have a widely different meaning
in measuring time when used by an
archaeologist having reference to the
period of existence of the Egyptian
pyramids. than when used by Caro-
lima Governors with reference to the
time between drinks" The court
may be right, but probably the Gov
ernor of North Carolina measured
time as recommended by the poet
who said: 1--WE live in feelings,
not In figures on the dial."-Colliers

Woman,s Sense Of Honor.

Much has been done by our own
higher education and widening field
OF work. and a woman now despises
what used to be by repute her most
formidable weapons---a lie, tears and
a skillfu appeal to the vanity OF man.
The writer has often noticed the
markedly greater breadth Of view and
the truer sense OF honor among the
present-day girl students compared
with that which obtained when she
herself was a student, and which is
still largely that Of women OF her
own age today. An even more strik.
ing fact is that the majority of men
do not seem to expect as keen a sense
OF honor from women as they do from
themselves. This mental atmosphere
has surely a deterrent effect upon the
growth OF that sense.-A Woman
Teacher. In London Spectator.

HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Metal ls Rolled Into a Ribbon and
Pen Shapes Are Cut Out by
Machinery.

The tiny tip of white metal seen on
the under side of the point of a gold
pen may be of platinum. but II is more
likely to be iridium. Iridium is very
aard metal and 1t is expensive; 1t
costs about four times as much as
gold. The purpose OF the iridium tip
is, OF course. to give the pen a more
durable tip.
The gold pen maker buys his gold
at the assay office in bars of pure "a
karat gold, which he melts and alloys
with his silver and copper to the de-
gree of fineness required. Gold Of IA
karats is used in the manufacture OF
the best American gold pens, that be-
ing the degree of fineness deemed
most suitable for pen use; but good
pens made in this country for sale In
France are made OF Is karats. the
French government requiring that all
articles exposed for sale in that coun-
try as gold shall be of not less than
Is karats
The gold from which the pens are
to be made is rolled and reroled until

OF gold has been rolled into a thin
gold ribbon about three feet In length
by four inches wide. Then this gold
ribbon Is put into a machine which
stamps out of 1t pen shapes, all still
Hat. Then on the tip of each of these
pens is fused the iridium point, and
then the shapes go to a Sitting ma
chine. which cut the slit in the pen.
From this Sitting machine the pens
go through another, which gives them
their rounded, familiar pen form, and
then the pens are ground and polish
cd and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or as dip pens are sold in every coun.
try in Europe in competition with pens
of British or of German manufacture,
and under the same competition they
are sold throughout the world In
South America, Africa, Japan, China,
wherever pens are used
