Juliet got out her purchases, and under

she spent happy hour reveling In her

At that instant the pinto took a fancy

Dan grinned That's Orins bird" he

SENATE CONFIRMS FO)
Stubborn Contest Over Sacra-
mento, CAL, Postmastership
Comes to a Close.

At the close of the most stubbornly
contested and spectacular contest over a
confirmation during the present admins
tration Thomas Fox was last night con-
firmed by the Senate as postmaster at
Sacramento, Cal. The vote stood 3Hto II.
The fight against the confirmation was
inaugurated before the post office COM
mittee of the Senate by Rudolph
Spreckels of California. as soon as Presi-
dent Wilson sent in the nomination. AS
a leader of the progressive republicans
who had assisted In the election of the
President. Spreckels declared the confirm
alton of Fox would be regarded through
out the country as an approval by the
democratic party Of machine" politics.
Mr.. Spreckels charged that Mr.. Fox was
a political boss drawing his trength
from the red light and liquor interests
of Sacramento, and was the tool of the
Southern Pacific. Secretary Lane and
Commissioner General Caminetti Of the
immigration bureau. both from Call
fornia, supported Mr.. Fox.
The opposing forces had agreed TO
fight out the contest yesterday. For
six hours they debated the question IN
executive session. At the hour for
voting a quorum was not present. The
sergeant alarms was sent out and
after forty minutes succeeded In
bringing in enough senators from their
homes and the theaters to make the
quorum.

"It is always best to bring thcm,'

while I was adjusting my mind to

woman with a wider experience than
mine piped up that she had brought
view7 of her kitchen. From that min
ute I was out Of it as far as that par
ticular cook was concerned. The pic
lures met her approval, and the other
woman hired her on the spot. l asked
the manager If it was the custom for
ho~usekeepers to produce views of

sense the girl is right; it does save
