EDITOR RANN's OPINION ON HOW
TT HAPPENED. ~.

After spending about week in
Chicago, watching the game between
the Taft and Roosevelt forces, Edi-
tor Ram of the Press telegraphed
to his wife last Friday morning that
Taft would win. On his return home
that evening he explained why he
was so certain that the President
would be renominated. He said
brains usually wins, and the pre-
ponderance of brains was clearly
on Taft's side. At every stage Of
the contest in Chicago Roo3evelt's
men were outgeneraled by the
Taft leaders. Three weeks ago the
scales were quite equally balanced
between the President and the Ex-
President, and had equal skill been
shown by the managers on each side
the result might have been quite
different. With but a slender ma
jority the Presidents managers won
every point and held the delegations
from every state in their seats until
the final adjournment. In this last
analysis brains won.

be of increased value, so this sur
prise was very delightful affair.
AS it is no disgrace for the
hravest to yield to an overwhelming
force, and as her daughter. Agnes,
va; into the se:ret, Mrs. Cosgrove
showed her discretion" by surren-
dering, SO all were made welcome
and where everyone had come on
pleasure bent, there was no call for
dull formalities.
The company numbered twenty
4 five. and as little parlor game
had been arranged by Miss Agnes,
I which called for prize and "boo-
by,'' you may be sure all went mer-
ry. The ladies had arranged a
picnic six o'clock dinner, and the
tables were spread across the foot
path in Mrs. Tom Kents dining room
and presented beautiful sight
among flowers and other decorations.
A white rose was given each lady
to wear as souvenir and Mrs.
Cosgrove seemed delighted and hap
by. Amidst a shower of birthday
postal cards with tender sentiments
OF love and friendship and we are
glad that the years that have gone
by have left so little trace of their
visit on our friend, and she has our
best wishes that every birthday Will
find her looking as we'll as she does
now. and as she Journeys through
life may she find the stepping stones
made sure for her feet, and may
she never drink from the waters of
bitterness, but may every drop be
purified by the love of her friends
and when the time has come to bid
goodbye to all, may We finally meet
where there will be no separation.
