Aunt Patsy smiled grimly when Craig
leaned over the fence one night and
asked her whose portarait she was
carving.
Its the face of the man I'm goin'
to marry she said.
That report spread rapidly and
thereafter Aunt Patsy's open-air stu

near to completion that it would re-
quire but a few finishing touches to
produce a most striking likeness. and

the model was. But that was what
Aunt Patsy did. One day when the
twilight came Aunt Patsy laid aside
her chisels and the crowd went home
as much at sea as ever as to whom
she intended to marry. The next
morning there were a few deft touches,

bility.
Mr.. Wilson will in all human
probability be confronted with much
the same sort of factional discord and
cross purpose within his own party rs
confronted Taft at the start.
Underlying Mr.. Taft's trouble was
Col. Roosevelt's theory of himself SIS
the donor of the presidency, and his
inchoate design TO resume it after q
Taft interregnum or regency Of four
years. Underlying Mr.. Wilson s i'm
pending trouble will be Mr.. Bryan e
theory ct himself as papal keeper OF
Mr.. Wilson's conscience. and his
already palpable view that Mr.. Will
son is obligated to step aside in 1915
and clear the way for Mr.. Bryan S
quadrenniaI venture in the national
convention.
Mr.. Bryan did not secure the inser-
tion of that single term plank in the
Baltimore platform for nothing. Mr..
Bryan was speaking one word for
Wilson and two for himself, and
looking ahead four years, when in his
campaign speeches he repeatedly re-
commended Wilson as the only candi-
date pledged to a single term.
Whether Mr.. Bryan will be able,
when the inevitable pinch comes. to
cite something in the way of q
gentleman's agreement" to that
effect between himself and Mr..
Wilson remains to be seen. Certain
it is that Mr.. Wilson has sedulously
refrained from any public utterance
that could by any possibility be con
strued as a personal Endorsement OF
that single term plank.
Undou btedly he will secure a Sc
cond term nomination if be can. Un.
doubtedly Mr.. Bryan will balk him
of it if he can, and will assail Mr..
Wilson as pledge breaker just as
soon as the situation compels Mr..
Wilson to express himself on that
single term plank, which is nothing
more nor less than a barrier set in
Mr.. Wilson's path by Mr.. Bryan.
In view of his designs on Mr..
Wilson's second cup of coffee, and the
moral certainty that he expects to be
mbrOiled with Mr.. Wilson, MI,
Bryan's present gush of fulsome com
pliment for Mr.. Wilson is amusing.
A very significant thing is that every
such compliment to Mr.. Wilson il
cunningly predicated on the assunp.
tion that Mr.. Wilson policies are
going to be cast precisely in the
mold of what have long beer
