aunt, Mrs. Catherine Healey, aged eighty.

skirts of this place, apparently in direst
poverty.
Today when they were removed to the
town poorhouse a search of their howell
revealed a lining of gOldbacks. besides
bank books with balances of several thou
sand in each. The bills were sewed in old
skirts, stuck behind pictures, between the
leaves of the family Bible and under the
carpet.
Shaw climbed out on the roof of the
howell and fell to the ground, where he
lay Unconscious. presumably for two days
exposed to rain and the cold In the

KISMET In KISSES
BALKS SPOONY BOYS
Cleveland Girls Anti sculating Club
Barrier to Promiscuous
Love Making.

Cleveland. Ohio, Oct AN organi-
cation for the suppression of promis-
cuous kissing. composed OF young and
pretty girls. has been formed fin Cleve-
land. few nights ago number of
SWANS found this legend conspicuOusly
displayed when they called on the
members:
Kiss me and meet your kismet.'
All spoOners know that kismet means
fate, and the boys were curious. They
received jolts something akin to the
following:
We shouldn't squander our kisses,
said Miss Myrtle Lazaroff.
1T wouldn't be so bad" said Miss
Kelly. only we go to parties and the
boys kiss US, and then they want to do
il all the time"
Miss Edna Weiss subscribes TO this
and adds that when the boys taks
them out and cannot kiss them, they
don't often come again. 1t was Miss
Della Gushue who thought that the
club was the one way out, and Miss
Lima Smuck hustled right along with
the seconding details. They chorus:
IF the boys don't like it, they may
go to other girls"

THE plan 1 most approve is the plan
first suggested. This plan would preserve
the national character of the party, in
that ii would give every Congressional
district at least one Representative I'm
der this plan the next Republican con-
vention would be approximately the same
size as the last: The ten so-called South
ern States would have about 1913 dele
gates, whereas under the present basis
they would have about 2i9.
"Of course, this plan is only tentative.
and intended simply as a suggestion; II
is not radical. II gives every part of the
country representation. and yet il suffict-
emily shifts the voting strength in the
convention SO as to give the States that
must be depended upon TO elect RepubiI-
can Presidents, an opportunity to have
their voice as potential in the conven-
ton as at the polls."'

WILSON VISITS
BOY AUTO HURT
Calls at Hospital and Feels
Robert Crawford's Pulse
and Head.
LAD SHOWS PLEASURE
Particularly Happy Over Presidents
Promise to Give Him Bicycle to
Replace Broken One.
LAD SHOWS PLEASURE

Laying on of hands" may fail to cure
nine times out of ten in these days, but
in the opinion of Robert Crawford, the
messenger boy run down and injured by
president Wilson'S automobile Saturday,
the soothing touch Of the Chief EXecu-
tive's hands and his cheering talk
worked mira culously yesterday when the
President visited the little patient at
Providence Hospital.
President Wilson mUtored to the hos
pitaI to express his sympathy to the
sixteen ear-old victim of Saturdays &C
cident shortly after noon. He was
ushered into the hospital by the Mother
Superior of the institution and went
straight to the room where young Craw-
ford is suffering a wrenChed ankle and
minor injuries.
Sure you're feeling all right nOw?''
the President asked of the injured boy.
Yes sir. but | didn't know twas You
l ran into said the patient bashfuly.
Would you have run into me If you
had?" said the President with a smile.
and the boy answered no.
Looks at Boys Ankle.
President Wilson personally investi-
gated the boys injuries, felt the child's
swollen ankle, then his pulse, and then
his forehead.
He hasn't any fever the President
said, as he pressed his hand against the
little patients head.
NO, sir" answered the boy, exhibit
ing delight at the attention paid him by
the President.
Young Crawford was assured that the
President would see that he had another
bicycle in place of the one that was de-
mOlished by the White House car. After
giving the patient this assurance and
telling him that he hoped he would be
completely well soon, President Wilson
left the sickroom and returned to the
White House in his automobile.
Gee, Just think of it, Sister" said
the injured boy as the President left the
room. I'm going to have a wheel given
me by the President of the United States.
I'd take a broken ankle, or three kToken
ankles, for that
Young Crawford later requested one OF
the sisters TO give him a paint brush. so
he could paint the place on the hos
pital floor where the President stood
while he was feeling his head

the side of the roll top desk, started
to write. The Governor said: Make
the checks out to Sarecky. He handles
all those things for me-
''Pinckney then tore up the first
check, and made out another and hand
ell it to me. l had given him a pen,
and was standing beside him. Wouldn't
a man be a fool, IL he did intend to be
crooked, to say to a stranger: Don't
mention this. as 1 do not intend to ac-
count for it?'"
