The little man bowed very low and

said Glen. beginning to believe in his
small visitor. ARE there any more
like you up in the moon?"
Did you ever see but one man in
the moon through your wonderful tel
escope, my fine young Scholar" asked
the little fellow. And he merrily
kicked up his heels and sat down on
the couch beside Glen. Then, chuck
ling. he jabbed Glen in the ribs. after
the manner Of jolly old men when
they are making jokes with one an
other.
Glen meditated a moment. well,
I have never seen but one man in the
moon; but I see but one side of 1t, you
know. There's another half Of the
moon which we earth mortals never
get peep at. Are there other peo-
pie there?"
Moon. lives on that side" smiled the
little cheese creature. "She's a very
beautiful lady. and were she to come
onto the earth-side Of our planet, woe
to the hearts Of the astronomers that
perately in love with her. and that
would be a very sad thing, seeing
that she's already married and settled
in life. and that she's several miles
away from the longing earth-lovers."
At this. the little Man o. The Moon
leaped into the air and cut several
funny capers. much to Glen's amuse
ment. And so you did not pay any
attention to my friend and admirer,
Bulger Thomas. when he asked about
me this afternoon. But now you may

body, as its tail swung toward me.
My hands encountered the afterbody
and the propellers chopped them up.
The torpedo rapidly gained speed and
shot to the surface with tremendous
force. passing within short distance
of the man tending the lines and air
hose, and rushed 20 feet into the air.

Off down the course, diving in and out

familiar chug chug of the pump I
thought that the air hose had been
cut by the propellers of the torpedo
and closed the relief valve to save

going to try to remove my shoes. (The
water was so muddy that could not

BY the time the doctor arrived at

Chicago, June 10.-The chief duty
of the Chicago hotel clerk just now is
to point out the political celebrities. 1t
has been necessary to describe big
men Of the convention for persons
seeking them so many times that John
Burk, head clerk of the Annex, can
give finest identifying details Of attire
and build of statesman in a mo.
ment.
A great part of the population of the
hotel consists Of newspaper, magazine,
and free lance photographers. Twelve
snapshotters were in an arc about Sen
ator j. M. Dixon OF Montana, Colonel
Roosevelt's manager. when he con-
sented to be photographed on his ar
rival.
Before the senotor reached the hotel
on Wednesday two men had been led
out on Michigan avenue by the camera
squad in the belief that each of the
accommodating strangers was the Mon
tanan. One photographer would be
tipped off" that "the tall, white hair
ed man in the Panama is Senator Dix
on"
The stranger at once would be invit-
ed out in the street for different poses
in the sun. OF the two cases of mis-
taken identity one was A. B. Butler
OF Washington, Taft camp aid. 1t is
said the other was Boston linen
salesman. He did not deny he was
Senator Dixon, and posed graciously
with and without his hat and facing in
different advantageous angles.
