word pandemonium broke loose. In a
moment every Roosevelt delegate was
on his feet shouting "Hadley, Hadley,"
and even the Taft cohorts could not
keep their seats. Then the enthusiasts
began to pull up their state standards
and march with them, while the gal.
leries leaped to their feet, waving hats
and handkerchiefs and papers and
bowling at the top of their voices.

way, and New Jersey, Missouri and
North Carolina followed close behind.

into line, and there was mighty roar
as Bill" Finn grabbed Pennsylva-

over the hall began TO say that il

be no trick at all to put the governor
OF Missouri at the head Of the ticket.
Cheers for Bryan.
One OF the biggest demonstrations
Of the convention before the body was
called to order was that given to VIII,
lam J. Bryan. AS soon as he was rec
ognized there was rush of delegates
and spectators toward him. "Bill
Bryan, Bryan, Bryan" was the call
that vent up. Shaking hands as he
walked, Mr.. Bryan hurried to an
usher and showed him his seat check.
Smiling broadly on those who were
following him. he FASTENED to seat,
got out pencil and paper and began
his days work as reporter.

The revolt of many Of the Roosevelt
delegates in the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll
containing the names of contested
delegates was approved. A "valedic-
cory" statement was read in behalf
of Colonel Roosevelt asking that his
name be not presented and that his
delegates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
The first test vote after the an
nouncement of the Roosevelt valedic-
tory came on the adoption of the par
ty platform.
The affirmative vote was 666. Roose-
welt delegates present and not voting

but Colonel Roosevelts wishes were
carried out by his followers and they

states for nominations.
Many of the delegates, however,
carried out their primary instructions
and voted for the Colonel.

Victor Rosewater, who as chairman
OF the national committee called the
convention to order, was only three
minutes late in pounding out with his
gavel the announcement that the show
was about to begin. The Omaha man

could not make himself heard ten feet
away from the platform. For fifteen
minutes confusion reigned, and the

his eyes, and there would be a sud

accompanied by violent pushings and
indignant protests. Some OF these
intruders wore fake badges, which
served until suddenly efficient po-
liceman discovered the trick and
rushed the offenders to the door with
mighty roar.

chairman was unable to quell it. A
little later, when the Roosevelt adher-
ents were making their first fight by
seeking to substitute their own tenn
porary roll for that prepared by the
national committee, Mr.. Rosewater
piped feebly until some one shouted,
Speak up. little boy" Then he sue
cumbed to the roar of laughter and
let clerk read his rulings.
1t was no easy job keeping the great
crowd in order, for while the dele
gates themselves were mostly grim
and tense, apparently imbued with the
idea that they were making history"
there were numerous skillfully placed
claques in the galleries which inter
rupted the speakers at frequent inter-
walls.
Hadey Commands Respect.
One man there was who was not
subject to ribald Interruptions and
jeers. That was Governor Hadley OF
Missouri, the Roosevelt field captain.
Whenever he arose he was accorded
respectful attention and often hearty
applause, for even his political enc
mics couldn't think up weak spots in
his record with which to taunt him.
"Bill" Finn, another Roosevelt
fighter, was not so fortunate, but he
seemed to like the storm that ragged
about him and did not give an inch
until squelched by the gavel. Senator
Bradley Of Kentucky, too, came in for
a share of "boos" and Kisses and was
stirred to rage by many illusions to
the fact that he had voted in favor of

Death of George II. Hall.

In the death of Gearge H. Hall, an
other of the old and respected citizens
of this community has been removed
from the familiar scenes of life. For a
long time strength had been failing

9th, 1860, to Ellen Warner and moved
to Shoreham in 1866. Two children
were born to them, Bertram w. Hall
of Shoreham and Gertrude H. Moore of
Westfield, Mass. He is survived also
by granddaughter at Westfield, Mass.

and through the joys and trials of life,
he never lost sight of Gods guiding

The funeral was held at their home in
Shorehom Thursday afternoon, March
14th, Rev. Mr.. Waite officiating. Mr..
Hall was a successful farmer. He
stood pre-eminent, however, as breed

state on the subject.

Romans do is not always the best plan.
If you don't believe it Miss Jane Ad-

of Chicago, will tell you story to
prove it.
Miss Adams knew wealthy wO.

charity, such as sending missionaries
to foreign fields. and on one occasion
she put up the money to send mis-
sionary to the Caroline islands. Soon
after his arrival on the scene of his
activities the religious man sent his
benefactress photograph Of himself
and his wife.
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man of God letter, suggesting
that his wife, in order to win the con.
fidence Of the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume of the islands. Two months
later she received this answer:
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife

adopting It."

mouth, If anything can be proved

mouth is to be fed by those
hands without being interfered

also his mouth to feed and his
hands to labor with. l hold If
the Almighty had ever made a
