MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
IN MASS MEETING.
Every Indication That The Auditor
ium Will be Filled to Overlooking
at The Democratic Mass Meeting
Tomorrow Night.

That the Democratic mass meeting
at the Auditorium tomorrow night
will be a monster meeting is indicat-
ed by the large number of inquiries
that are being received at headquar-
tiers from different sections of the
county concerning the possibility of
obtaining seats for the meeting. This
is the first big meeting of the cam,
paign, and the further fact that
United States Senator John Walter
Smith will make here the only
speech that he will make on the
Eastern Shore, has aroused a great
deal of enthusiasm and interest. On
account of the long session of Con-
gress, Senator, Smith has been un-
able to devote much time to cam
paigning, and expects to make but
three or four speeches, the one here,
one in Baltimore, and one, possibly
two, on the Western Shore.
State Senator Jesse D. Price, the
Congressional candidate, has a host
of friends here who will be on hand
to hear him discuss the issues invol-
we'd in the campaign, and to other
wise show him their interest in the
campaign of the party.
There is another thing that augurs
well for the success of the meeting,
and this is the fact that the average
voter likes a little politics at this
season of the year, and as there have
been no meetings so far in Cam
bridge and the vicinity, the public
feels as if it were time that the
affairs of the nation were being dis
cussed from the hastings. All in
all, there is every reason to believe
that the crowd tomorrow night will
be record-breaking one.

Audience Last Night.

The dramatization of Owen Wis

''The Virginian" possesses a TO-

happy to do something for his parents.

am afraid you have a mean, selfish
heart"
August was still sobbing Historically.
His \ parents exchanged eloquent
glances, and his sister shrugged her
shoulders. He could not eat any sup
per and was packed OF to bed.
In bed he cried as he had never cried
before. The present his godfather had
sent him was so glorious that he had
never dreamed such toys existed. As
his parents were anything but wealthy.
his presents were always. Of the use
fui kind, caps. sweaters or shoes. His
heart was longing for single toy.
Augustus godfather was a distant
cousin of his mother who owned sew
eral farms in California. As he was a
bachelor all his relatives were striving
TO win his favor. He lived WELL was
liberal and appreciated the smallest
kindness and attention shown him. He
was particularly fond of his little god
son and sent him some expensive toy on
every birthday, but August had never
even been allowed to touch the toys as
his mother said he was sure to break
them and so she. put them away for
later on. AS he was an early thinker
he asked himself IL all these things
were to be kept until he was twenty
and how they could possibly know that
he would break them when he had
never had anything to break yet.
This time the greatest pleasure of the
year to which he looked forward for
many months had been taken away from
him by another and perhaps even by
one whom he should see playing with
it. When he thought of this he felt like
getting UP and breaking the aeroplane,
but he was too much afraid and finally
fell asleep.
The next morning the aeroplane, care
fully wrapped up again, disappeared.
And the following day, which was a
Sunday. Augustus father received a note
at the breakfast table. He opened it
carefully and flushed with pleasure.
Read that" he said to his wife.
She took the letter and read.
-Of course they are delighted. Ut
was indeed royal present You are
sure to be promoted now"
The doorbell Interrupted her and they
heard loud, jolly voice in the hall.

August's mother turned pale.
THAT is godfather" she stammered.
Her husband also changed color.

TfIE birthday present which little
August regularly received from
his rich godfather had once more
arrived punctually.
II was an immense gxay pox, which
must arouse the most intense excite
ment in his mind. but he knew from
experience that It was hopeless TO ask
II he might open 1t now himself. So the
boy. half crazy with curiosity, had to
be satisfied to wait for the hour when
his father should come home from bust
ness and solemniy open the parcel.
At o'clock the father came. a cold.
stern, unkindly man. He changed his
shoes. washed his hands and while Au-
gust was dying with excitement, he
slowly put on his house coat and slip
pers. Then he carefully united the
string and took off the wrapper.
The box proved to be a miniature
model aeroplane with big wings, motor
and aluminium frame and an extra seat
for passenger. A book or directions
told exactly how TO make the aero
palm fly.
August stood there ciasping his hands,
mute with delight.
THAT thing cost at least $780," said
his father.
ut is really foolish to waste so much
money on toys for boy" remarked Au-
OF dress.
ut is a persent fit for prince said
the mother turning towards her hus-
band. 1T will be rather difficult to
wrap It up again. 50 that they won't
notice anything. But one thing Is sire,

Little August trembled. His moth
er's mysterious words scared him. He
looked up with fear in his eyes.
His mother put on a dignifed benevo-
lent expression and said
You know, little August, how dread
fully expensive is it TO bring you UP
