An interesting piece of gossip is going
around to-day. which shows that Cupid
can attend to business even at red hot
political convention.
1t is TO the effect that Judge Ben Lind
sey, OF Denver, one OF the most enthus-
iastic OF the Roosevelt men mere, would
like second place on the ticket with the
colonel II he runs for President either as
a regular or an Independent, and that the
reason for the desire is that Miss Anne
Morgan, daughter OF the great fnancier'
has promised to marry him II he becomes
Vice-P President This probably is like the
balance Of the crop Of rImors which are
as thick around Chicago those days as
blackberries and may come from the well
known friendship between the two.
When Miss Morgan goes 10 Denver there
is sure to be a docket OF interesting and
picturesque cases. When the daughter OF
the great hnancier directs her sociological
studies toward the Kids Court in
Denver. Il is a foregone conclusion that
the little Judge" will speak with more
than his usual parental tenderness 10 the
Young miscreants who dry their tears in
his presence.
Reports of the engagement OF Miss Nor
gan to Judge Lindsey have persisted for
wears. in the face of the deprecating de-
mails Of the Judge himself and the repeated
assertion Of Miss Morgan that the report
was ridiculous"

Lindsey was guest Of honor at dinner
given by Miss Morgan in New York. on

who encouraged his candidacy for the Vice
Presidency.

week has been the company Of pretty girls
who are selling flowers for the benefit OF
the Frances Willard Hospital. They did
thriving business.
Colonel Roosevelt came very near con-
trIbuting to the fund. Threading their way
through the crowd around the two political
beadousrters were a score OF very pretty
flower girls
Down the corridor passed the colonel,
surrounded by his personal guards. one OF
the prettlest Of the girls, young woman
with laughing eyes--Miss Henrietta Borsch
started in pursuit, but the crowd blocked
her way.
OH She exclaimed in a disappointed
tone, II did so want to sell him flower
Turning she saw Frank Harper, the
colonels secretary.
The next moment Harper confronted the
demure miss
Il haven't sold one 10 an Englishman
yet" she said sweetly.
I'm an Englishman," said Harper-and
he bought.
The women carried the bag yester-
day" was the unanimous declaration OF
the doorkeepers and policemen at the con-
vention. In nine cases out Of ten where
a man and woman came together the
woman carried the coveted convention
tickets" said the guard at the main door
The couples would approach the door. and
the husband. father or son, or whoever the
man was that happened TO accompany the
woman, would stand awkwardly by until
the woman would produce the charmed
ticket Of admission from some mysterious
place in her clothing Hundreds of them
bore the marks Of pins. safety and other
wise.
A quiet but notable visitor on the plat
form OF tie convention was the widow OF
former President Benjamin Harrison, who
was accompanied by her charming little
daughter, aged about fourteen Another
notable woman was the wife OF former
Vice. President Fairbanks, whose gentle
smile and gracious manner have made her
known TO 80 many. Considering the prom
,nence OF Watson and Hemenway and the
women named, It might have been called
an Indiana day.
