aeformIno the Boarders.

The boarding house had changed
hands, and the regular boarders were
changing some Of their habits to suit
the aggressive new landlady. The
sword had fallen rather promiscuously
during this pruning of bad habits, but
they were all amused when it struck
the naughty young professor. Sitting
with his head bowed gracefully on his
shapely hand, 1t was his custom to pay
no attention to the things that were
passed around the breakfast table.
The landlady brought in a plate Of
hot biscuits and held them In front Of
him. He did not look up. She logged
his elbow. and looking up he said lofti-
ly: II do not care to be disturbed
when / am meditating."
The regular boarders stopped eating,
awaiting her reply. She stared at
him for a second. then said decidedly:.
Hereafter you do your meditatin'
some'ers else. I want these biscuits

TOOK AWAY HIS APPETITE
Lover of Mince PIE Had Decided OBJ
lection to Sharing the DeIlcacy
With Restaurant Cat.

Until recently Detective Sergeant
Tim Bailey was a lover of mince pie.
Today If anyone offered him a bakery
full of mince pies he would turn on
his heel and do a quick countermarch.
Figuratively he has had his fill of the
good old pastry.
At dinner time n day not long
ago Bailey went into a little restaurant
heal the Hall of Justice. Three
boiled eggs, a cup Of Java and a IL by
IA wedge of mince pie" he told the
waiter.
Bailey polished off the eggs and
coffee in great shape, and then at
tackled the pie. He had just begun
when a big black cat that had been
reposing on the counter a few feet
away awoke, stretched, struck at a
vagrant fly with a chubby paw, and
then leaped into the display window
Of the place. The window was laden
with d~elicacies to allure the hungry
passerby.
The first thing that Tabby made for
was the remains of the pie that had
been cut for Bailey. Kitty's first bite
was Bailey's last. He dropped his
fork with a bang, reached for his hat
and rushed up to the counter. .
"Sa-a-y," he cried, what are you
running here, a restaurant or a ken
mel club" He paid his bill, and was
away down the street before the
dazed keeper Of the place could catch
his breath.-New York Times.

London, April 9.-Prof. Thomas J.

erly Mrs. Grover Cleveland, arrived in
London and took up their quarters in
a modest hotel at Bloomsbury SO
quietly that the Anglo American col
ony was unaware Of the presence here
Of the former mistress of the White
House. The two were accompanied
by Mrs. Prestons elder daughter and
younger son. Tho other children are
to Join them on the continent when
the schools close.
Professor Preston, who Is on leave
from Princeton university, expects to
spend a month in London working at
the British and South Kensington
museums and the National gallery,
studying old manuscripts. At the eX-
piration Of month he will leave for
the continent, where he expects to
continue his work. In the meantime
Mrs. Preston and the children will en-
Joy themselves sightseeing.

90 Owing to numerous reports Of the
possibility of Theodore Roosevelt be-
ing a candidate on the republican
ticket in 1915, the North Dakota ma
tional committeeman of the progress
ive party believes that the people
should know the facts and for that
reason is publishing a portion of the
colonePs speech to a gathering of pro-
gressives previous to his departure for
South America. .Er = ..-..
Roosevelts own words should be
sufficient to convince everyone that he
will be with the progressives. Roose-
welt does not have the reputation of
saying one thing and doing another. In
his address just before his departure
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
T. l am about to sail for a six months
absence from this country. Next
spring, T shall return to devote my
self with whatever Of strength have
to working with you for the success
Of the progressive party and Of the
great principles for which the progress
sive party stands. The party is solid,
and it is the firm determination OF the
rank and file no less than Of the Lead
ersE to preserve it's political entity, its
solidarity and integrity. Next year
we shall enter undaunted as national
party on another campaign. ! will

the outcome, am with you, and am

are dedicated to this great war for

cannot and will not abandon 1t. This
party Of ours has been quickened by
the ideals of a new democracy and
the men who believe that we will ever
betray these ideals or abandon the
task to which we have set ourselves do
not know us, and cannot ever guess
at the faith that inspires us. The
spirit which quickeneth is among us;
our souls have been stirred to the
depths; and warn our opponents that
the fight has only just begun. This
movement will never go back; and
whatever may betide in the future.
of one thing the disciples Of an easy
opportunism may rest assured will
never abandon the principles to which
we progressives have pledged our
selves, and I will never abandon the
men and women who drew around me
to battle for these principles. They and
I stand with our faces toward the
morning; we will never be sundered
from one another; and we will never
yield the ground we have taken or
finch from the fight to which we are
pledged.

After several attempts Miss Susie

where she tainted just inside the door.
Nr. Brown carried her to a window
and went to Miss Mabel's rescue. He
found her upon the floor just outside

opened both young ladies were soon

Philadelphia, April 9. - Word has
been received that the members Of the
Amazon expedition Of the University
of Pennsylvania museum, sent out in
March, 1913, are all well after nine
weeks exploring in unknown territory
in southern British Guiana. Advices
state that many valuable ethological
speciments, photographs and thropoli-
gical data were secured. The expedi-
tion encountered many dangers and
progress was made at times very
wearisome. z7 ~
According to the authorities of the
museum reports received state that DR..
William c. Farabee, curator of the
American section Of the museum and
his party spent many months in terri
tory never explored by white men and
have gained an immense amount OF
valuable information. New tribes. of
Indians never before heard of have
been discovered and vocabularies
made of their languages many notes
were taken OF their arts, crafts, GUS
toms and religious beliefs, while
thousands Of specimens OF their handi-
work have been collected and are now
on their way to this country. 81,
Previous reports told Of the party
having explored the northern jut of
Brazil, and the latest advices had to
do with the description of the ex-
peditioIis movements eastward into
British Guiana and the affluents Of the
upper caches of the Esequibo river
In the wilderness the expedition found
maps worthless. The Cudawine river
was found difficult of navigation, bu.
1t was followed to the Bsequibo after
much hard labor and suffering. Over.
hanging spine palms impeded pro-
gress and caused many painful
wounds. An astronomical observation
showed the expedition was seventy
miles north of. the equator and about
ESQ miles from the Atlantic ocean.

Seattle, April photographic ad-

results Of the elections in various
parts of the territory this week were

by the votes of women who cast their
ballots for the first time. The women

enactment Of a measure of the first
territorial legislature, a year, ago. .-
In Skagwayr familiar methods of
campaigning brought victory to the

while explaining sample ballots. They
