MIR. WATSON RIGHT IN HIS CON-

Tom Watson was right in his con-
tention for recognition of the
county unit in voting for delegates
to the national convention and on all
other important questions coming be-
fore the State Democratic convention
yesterday He was also right in his
opposition to the old cut-and-dried
system of having a committee pass
upon all resolutions and other mat
ters that should properly be consid-
cred by the whole convention, and
If he stays in the Democratic party
until the next State convention is

How He Prevented a Boy From Steal
Ing an Orange.
One day a ragged little urchin was
standing on the street longingly eying
some oranges which were on a fruit
stand near by. A tall man with long
legs, loose clothes and a frowning.
wrinkled face came striding toward
him. His eyes were apparently on the
pavement, and he looked cross and out
Of sorts as he took long strides, max
ing his coattails flap about his legs.
The man suddenly stopped in front of
the fruit stand, and, diving his hand
in his pocket for some money, he
bought a big orange, gave it to the
boy and went on his way.
The boy grinned at sight Of the fruit
and was about to eat it when q by
stander told him that the giver was
President Lincoln. The boy ran after
the president and caught the tapping
coattail, and as the stern face turned
sharply he called, Thank you, Mr..
President Lincoln"
Suddenly the face was transformed,
and beautiful smile covered it mn the
president answered:
You're welcome, boy. You wanted
to steal it while the fellow wasn't look
ing, didn't you? But you wouldn't be-
cause it wasn't honest. That's the
right way. 1 wish some men know

To Billy Baxter every moment he
spent In the theater was to his liking,
but the best OF all was when the band
nled in and the house Lights went up.
Then the music and the rush of arriv-
ais made a delightful STIR
These were busy moments for the
ushers, because In the ten minutes pre-
ceding the rise OF the curtain half the
house had to be seated, and 1t was
hard for Billy to bear in mind the
| managerial caution that the right hand
aisle was not a cinder track laid for
his amusement
It Is hard to walk when the music
plays lively air, and there were times
when Billy would sprint up the aisle
as though bent upon breaking all rec
ords for the hundred yards
These ten minutes twice q day re-
paid the boy for the rest of the work.
and 1t was work for all who were en-
ployed about the Century theater.
Ca1kfns, the manager, had spent his
days devtsing a system that was al
most perfect in its schedules. Every
body cleaned house In the morning,
with just time for a hurried lunch be-
fore squeezing into the uniforms for
the matinee, and as soon as the rush
was over all but two of the boys were
taken or to perform other duties.
Those who remained were water
boys, parading the aisles with trays
Of glasses, which they offered to the
patrons Now and then a penny or
even a nickel or dime fell to the wa
ter carrier, but Billy was content If
the ladies smiled their thanks.
All this was before II 112" came.
After that there was but one woman
in tho world for William, just as there
is but one woman for each Of us at
some stage of boyhood.
ID 112" was worthy Of his worship.
Even the box ONCE boy had confided
to Calkins, the manager, that it was
"a dead swell dame who took up the
seat for Tuesday mats" and the man
ager had condescended to approve the
statement though Calkins' own pref
erence was for blonds. ''E 112" had
dark hair of the soft, wavy kind that
makes fellow long to stroke softly.
But Billy remembered nothing but
her eyes after he had received. one d.
rect glance. He could look into those
liquid depths clear down into the I'M
troubled soul beyond.
Every Tuesday afternoon the girl
occupied the same seat. The Century
reserved seats for Its regular patrons
by the season, and once when the head
usher sought to shift Billy to the bal
cony, where there was a better chance
of making tips, Billy promptly forgot
the fact that 1t was supposed to be a
favor and pummeled his benefactor
until the latter promised to put him
back on his old aisle.
To such an extent had Billy become
enslaved that he even rejo1ced in the
water job. He would work the front
rows very slowly, waiting with pa
tience for each patron to finish with
glass, and when 'E 112'' asked for a
drink he would stand in rapt admira-
ton, ignoring the request Of others for
glasses from the tray until she had
returned hers and there was no longer
any excuse for standing at her side.
Long before the middle Of the season
Eleanor Golden, otherwise "E 112," had
come to know the earnest, freckled lit
tie face, and the day that she passed
him In the street and gave him a nod
and bright smile was a golden one
