4 Memphis character well known
about town as brilliant, but booty. was
persistent in his applications for loans
and extremely careless about repaying
them. Several years ago this man had
induced a local bank to loan him $40
and had given his note therefor At the
end OF each three months he invariably
appeared and asked that the note be
renewed. and as there was nothing else
to do the bank always renewed it, One
day he went into the bank and said TO
the cashier:
I'D like TO renew that paper OF mine
you have here"
Certainly" replied the cashier. I'll
fix it up for you"
The cashier made the proper prepa-
rations for the renewal, and as he was
fixing up the paper he said:
Say. the directors were talking about
this paper of yours the other day.
They decided they wouldn't charge you
interest Oh il any longer"
That's very considerable of them"
was the reply. Il am glad to hear il.

that Clark is the party's choice"
Alfalfa Bill There.

| There was a roar from the floor.
Men climbed in their chairs again. But
Alfalfa Bill Murray. the lengthy lead
er of the Wilson side, was instantly
in the breach. He climbed high above
his fellows, draped his grotesque fig
ure about the standard of his state
and shouted:
I'VE came to this here convention in
two sections. We stand now just where
we were when We came. We don't
join Tammany''
They stopped Alfalfa Bill with a
wild storm of cheers that instantly
progressed to a Wilson demonstration.
By nearly ten minutes it eclipsed its
preceding rival in point of endurance.
1t was the first sack of sand thrown
upon the Wilson levee to stop the in
coming rush of the angry m lightly
Clark tide that threatened to STAN
pede the convention and make the
''houn' dawg" song a national air.
The sack of sand worked perfectly.
Alfalfa Bill Murray had checked the
stampede
The conservative ranks had suffer
ed chiefly from the switch to Clark. 1t
wiped out the Harmon vote, it took a
cromp in the Underwood balance that
did not weaken the situation for the
Alabama man to any considerable ex-
tent and left the Wilson strength
practically unimpaired.
After the tenth ballot the tide re-
ceded somewhat and it became evil
dent that no nomination could be made
during the night and hasty agree
ment was reached to adjourn AS the
delegates went from the hall there was
much discussion of a compromise can
didate with Kern's name prominently
before the delegates. Mayor Gaynor of
New York was also mentioned, but
there was no decided drift in his d.
rectiOn.

The Book Of Years.

In sleep / turned the volume OF my years.
The leaves were many. rough and soiled
and married.
And here and there a line was blurred
and SCARED
Where to erase it had tried with tears
No page was perfect. but through all there
ran
Fair lines and many spaces white and
clear.
All. small they were. the blotted lines
too near.
But each showed where a higher thought
began!
Unknowingly traced these pages inter
lined.
/ thought them but loose leaves soon
torn and lost
knew not then the tears which they
should cost
When in the western sky my sun de-
clined.
Could / but write them now how fair they
all should look
When the great angel comes to close and
seal my book!

GARFIELD to GET
ROUSMG WELCOME
The Gennett Theater Will Be
Packed to Hear Progress
sive Leader Speak.

On Tuesday Wayne County will set
! the pace for the progressive movement
IN Indiana.
James r. Garfield, former secretary
Of the Interior under Theodore Roose-
| Welt, son of President Garfield, member
| of the committee of eighteen entrusted
| with the plans for a new Progressive
party. will come to Richmond on Tues
day at ITO to confer with the progress
sises of this county.
Or Tuesday evening he will address
the mass meeting at the Gennett thea
ter which has been called for the pur-
| pose of repudiating the action of the
National Republican Committee in rid
ing over the expressed will of the vot-
els and for organizing some means by
| which the progressive can vote for pro-
STessives in this state and nation.
On his arrival he will meet with the
committee or arrangements and with
lie men of the new organization all
over the county. Until then the peo-
pie of Indiana will have to mark time
Garfield will lay before the Indiana
Frogressives the final deliberations of
he progressive committee.
The following day these pans will
he taken up by the conference which
Edwin Lee, former state chairman of
the Republican party, has called to
meet in indianapolis.
The local committee on arrange
ments has been more active in perfect
ing the organization all over the coun-
~ than at has in spending money for
the lavish display that is usually asso-
GATED with political movements. They
feel that as the money for the organi-
cations will not be borne by the cor
porations of the country that this
would involve an actual waste of mon
ey. They take the position that only
those who care more for principle than
for red fire along the line of march
will be interested-but at that they are
confident that the Gennett theater will
be packed after the interest shown
earlier in the week.
Letters have been received from all
over the district announcing the readi-
ness of progressives to join with the
Wayne county men. There is no doubt
now that the new party will have plen-
ty of followers. The committee has had
10 difficulty in getting men all over
the county to take up the movement
to the extent of organizing the COM
mites.
On Tuesday when the names of the
n.en who have volunteered to help the
movement along are published it is
certain to make an impression of sta
b,Iity, according to those who have
been canvassing the county.
Many farmers will be in town from
al over the county. In every commu-
nifty the feeling has run very high and
is only counter balanced by the people
in Richmond who believe that third
party is necessary in Indiana to get
progressive measures through the leg
isiature. This sentiment has grown
since the Baltimore convention has
been in progress.

Mark 1Wain's Mission.

Mark Twain did not cherish fond
ness for the average Office boy. He
had an idea that the genus was in
sufferable, and invariably when the
humorist sailed forth into some bust
ness Office there was immediate armed
hostility between him and the boy.
One day Mark went to see a friend
at his Office, and the office boy on
guard, in icy tones. said:
whom do you wish to see:"
Mark mentioned his friends name.
What do you want to see him
about?' came next from the boy.
Mark Twain Immediately froze up,
and then with a genial smile he said:
Tell him, please, / want to ask his
hand in holy matrimony."

THE NIGHT SESSION.

BALTIMORE, June 29-The dawn
kGull and gray, was flirting with a new
by of action at 3:05 O'Clock this morn
ing when the Democratic national
|. convention dropped the curtain on the
most sensational political fight ever
| seen in great national gathering with
no one of the candidates before the
! convention within sight of the presi.
! Dental nomination. 1t was agreed that
! the combat should be resumed at one
l O'Clock this afternoon and after brief
|, period of sleep, the leaders on all
sides We're again at the hand to hand
struggle, preparatory to the renewal of
fostilities when the gavel dropped in
the afternoon.
The early morning encounter was
the story of a stampede that failed the
narrative of a running, beautifully man
aged attack and defense. 1t brought
Champ Clark to the possession, on
che ballot, of a majority of the con-
/ sention, but it failed of it's purpose

that the Wilson men held on their nest

I
| have homing point for mental cal
cclations, one must bark back couple
CT hours to pick up the essential facts
that when the sixth ballot was taken
at 9:42 O'Clock last night, the first of
the night work. Wilson showed a to-
tai strength of 304 votes. This is of
chief Importance because of what fol-
lowed in the early hours of the day.
Jumping to the close of the fight to
make the connection plain. when the
twelfth ballot had been duly recorded
end the tired delegation had gone to
bed. Wilson had in his total column
the identical 354 votes with which he
started the night.
Lively, Bitter Fight.
The remainder of this story is the
tale of rapidly running fight lively
and bitter that took place in the early
hours of today. Every shade of its
kmulti-colored setting is touched with
the most brilliant light of the individ-
nal color Flags, music, men frantic
with enthusiasm, hope and fear, wom-
en- dizzy with the excitement of the
morning and expert leaders running at
fuli tilt from delegation to delegation
to tighten the guy lines of the several
elements, all combined to make a
scene that no person who saw it will
ever forget.
1t was 10 minutes after midnight.
The eleventh ballot had been started.
Hardly had the "a votes of Alabama
been placed mechanically in the I'm
der wood" column, before it was evil
dent ferment was in progress Roger
Sullivan of Illinois, was making a per-
sonal round Of the delegations. He
Etopped long enough at PENNSYLVANIA.
He even sought William Jennings Bry-
