More land is being prepared and will

Withdrawal From Race.

Washington, D. C.-Mrs. Will
liam Cumming Story of New York
City, thrice a candidate for the presi-
dency general of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, was elected to
that office. Mrs. Story's majority was
Isl. She received exactly 500 votes
to 449 for Mrs. Horton. s
All day the battle of the ballots
proceeded, In the auditorium of Con

program which was supposed to keep
the minds of the partisans off worri-
ments of the election, was neglected.
The excitement centered in the lobby,
where the leaders of the two factions
met the incoming voters and told
them what to do and how to do 1t.
At the opening of the days session,
and before the polls we're opened,
Mrs. Charles Bailey Bryan of Ten

withdrew in favor Of either of the

KING ALFONSO ESCAPES
DIGS SPURS INTO HORSE AS AN
ARCHIST SHOOTS.
First Bullet Strikes Equine's Neck,
Powder B~Iackening Kings Glove
-AssaiIat Is Captured.

Madrid, Spain.-For the third
time in his reign. King Alfonso mar
roWly escaped death, being the victim
of an anarchists attempt against his
life. Three shots were fred at the
king by a native of Barcelona, RAJ
fael Sanchez Allegro, who was i'm
mediately overpowered.
King Alfonso owes his escape to
his W courage, q~uickness and
skilled horsemanship. Accompanied
by his staff, he was riding along the
Gale de Alcala, returning from the
ceremony of swearing in recruits,
when a man sprang from the sidewalk
and seized the bride of the kings
horse with n hand, drawing a re-
volver with the other.
The king with lightning rapidity
dug his spurs into his horse, which
reared violently. His quickness saved
his life. The first bullet, instead of
burying itself in the kings breast,
struck the horse on the neck, but SO
close was it that the kings iefthand
glove was ~blackened by the powder
discharge.
Before the assailant was able to
pull the trigger again a secret ser
vice man sprang upon him. The two
men fell to the ground struggling.
The assassin managed to free his re-
volver arm and fired two more shots.
but the officer knocked his arm aside
and the bullets flew harmlessly into
the air.

What Two Vanity Fair Girls Saw in the Ghetto

A PLAIN, stout woman was cross
"A ing the cobbles of a street down
town. 1t was a street broken out all
over in a business rash Of second
hand clothing and noisy with foreign
tongues.
The woman herself had the saffron
glazed skin and soot-black hair OF an
other land than ours. Her shabby
black gown was somber enough for
a chief mourner, except for an out
b st Of red on her breast, and
her head was partly covered with a
rusty lace shawl.
A thousand other stout women in
shabby black with shawls over their
heads might have crossed the street
without attracting attention. This
one was the exception. And it is the
exception that counts.

who must have been making a short
cut for somewhere to account for such
style in SO dubious a quarter, stop
