and again Helen was surprised. Be
fore, when she had gone anywhere
with Laura, Helen had always taken
the initiative in everything, and now
Laura was going ahead in a way en-
tirely foreign to her. Decidedly things
had changed. e~@~...
I'm not very hungry. l think I'll

Laura gave the order to the waiter
who departed, and then she turned to
Helen again with a smile.

waited for Helen to exclaim over this
piece of luck before she went on.
Helen exclaimed delightedly over
this information.

splendid. but do tell me about it, and
is it very much?"

Il used to be perpetual grumbler

Nonsense, Laura! You know very

Laura smiled across the table anC

CITY GROWS YOUNG
FROM MAGIC SPELL
Of CIRCUS SPIRIT
Joy Fills Youngsters and
Makes Old Folks Forget
Dignity Just Because Sells
FlOtO Comes.

WhOopee, she . HcAo.
Young Richmond clambered out OF
bed early this morning with shout,
when he saw the sun shining brightly
on circus day
Buttoning his shirt as he ran and
munching a crust of bread the young.
sters rushed away to see the employees
of the big Sells-Floto circus crawl
from their hunks, yawn and then begin
the task of unloading the wagons,
horses and animals.
Only the fear OF dire punishment
dragged the wonder-stricken boys from
the scene of activity where the big
canvass was being hoisted over the
vacant lots at the show grounds.
How long the morning seemed as
the teacher croned over geography
and uninteresting problems in artih.
metic. Then from Main street came
the faint sound of the band and the
steam caliope. Never did prison seem
more combining to the criminal than
the walls of the school room to the
boy just then.
Break for Grounds.
With school out the children and
many others, who just go out to look
round" made for the grounds, where
the trapeze performers sit behind
their tents sewing and reading, where
the shows blacksmith is shoeing the
horses, the barber entertaining the
Snowman in his portable chair.
The magic way in which the show
city comes for a day, and Is gone the
next, leaving only scraps of paper and
three large rings in the earth to show
where it has been lends enchantment
to the gigantic enterprise. 1t furnishes
material for many conversation to
and from school for many days to
come.
At the parade. when Main street was
lined, and at the afternoon perform.
ance the belief that only children and
young persons like the circus was dis
proved, when gray-haired heads and
heads that shone from a lack of hair
bobbed on long necks that stretched
and stretched so as not to miss any
Of the many things going on all al
once.

CHILD GIVES LIFE
TO SAVE BROTHER
TBY LEASED WIRE.7

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Mary Peterka,
I years old is dead today as the re-
suit of saving the life of her two-year-
old brother, George. The children
were playing with others in front of
their home. A team of horses draw
ing a lumber wagon came careening
down the street. George was in it's
path. All the children screamed save
Mary, who ran into the street and
snatched her brother from under the
horses hoofs. In doing so she fell and
was run over by the heavy wagon.

ANOTHER CUDAHY
HEADS COMPANY
TBY LEASED wIRE.1

CHICAGO. Sept. 1S.-Another Cud-
ahy will succeed to the presidency Of
the Cudahy Packing company on Oct.
1. E. A. Cudahy, president Of the
company since the death of Michael
Cudah yin 1911, has resigned and will
be succeeded by his nephew. Joseph
A. Cudahy.
The passing OF E. A. Cudahy from
active service in the affairs of the
big packing concern will be generally
regretted. His resignation was due to
his desire to devote some of his time
to other interests and to assume the
active management of the Puritan
Food Products company of which he
is president and principal owner.

ULSTER FREE i
 F0R SIX YEARS
House of Lords Amends Bill Leavina Ulster Out of New Government
 for Six Years.

LONDON, July 1.-The House of Lords today passed to the third reading the Irish Home Rule bill, but without the provision that the Ulsterites shall vote upon the pro vision of remaining out of the juris- diction of the Irish parliament, but the bill excludes them for six years from the control of Ireland
 When the bill passed Sir John Carson immediately called the lead CTS of the Nationalist party into ses- sion and the conference now being held will decide If war is to follow or If further efforts at settlement will be made by the Ulsterites. The Ulsterites say that they will not re- main free for six years only to be turned over to the control of the Catholic party in southern Ireland. but would rather fight now when they have everything ready and can make determined resistahce.

WOULD: NOMINATE
 JUNEAU COBB
Wiekershan Supporter May Be Nom- mated at Democratic conven-
 tion is Report.

It is rumored that the Wickites will endeavor to secure enough votes in the Democratic convention to be held at Skagway to nominate At torney Cobb, of Juneau, as the standard bearer of the party against James Wickersham, as Cobb is a strong Wickersham man and is in the Democratic party mostly to aid the delegate.
 It is believed that by nominating Cobb the present delegate would surely be elected, as Cobb would make no determined effort for cleo tion and thus would not cut into the Wickersham vote as is certain if Burns, of Fairbanks, or Governor Strong are nominated, and at the same time all the an-i-Socialist vote would go to 'Wickersham to defeat the Socialists, while with a strong Democratic candidate running 1t would be thrown to the Democrat as the surest method of defeating the Socialist candidate.
 While Wickersham at first was in clined to take the nomination from the Democrats, his fear that the Re- publicans may sweep the country this fall and possibly in 1916 has caused him to remain on the fence so as to be able to jump in either camp. His autobiography, given by himself to the public printer and published in the Congressional directory, does not mention his political faith, but he still sits with the Republican side of the House of Representatives.
