1T IS NOT MY BUSINESS

and two daughters we're coming

In his grand carriage with liveri.
ed attendants he road to the
depot thinking of bis splendid
business and planning for the
morrow. Hark! Did someone
say "Accident?" There are 25
railroads centering in st. Louis.
II there has been an accident, it
is not likely to have occurred on

1t is his business now. The

With white face and anxious
brow the man paced the station
to and fro, In a half.hour per.
haps; which seemed to him a
half-century, tho train arrived.
He hurried toward it, and IN the
tender found the mangIed bodies
and lifeless forms OF his wife
and one of his daughters. In the
car following lay the other
daughter, with her ribs crushed
in. and her precious life oozing
slowly away.

HUGHES OR BORAH
CHOICE IN MAINE
FOR NOMINATION
Pine Tree State Republicans
Will Send Uninstructed
Delegation to the Chicago
Convention.

Portland. Me. March 20.-Maine Re
publieans win send an uninstructed
delegation to the Chicago convention.
Careful canvassing of all sections of
the state indicates that any attempt to
pledge the Pine Tree state delegation
to any candidate will be voted down at
the state convention here this week
The sentiment of Maine Republicans is
believed to be for Justice Hughes, with
Senator Borah of Idaho as second
choice.
Four years ago the state convention
instructed Its delegates to the ma
tional convention for Roosevelt. But
at that time there was no Progressive
party and the old-line Republicans
were hostile to President Taft because
of his stand on the reciprocity oues-
tion.
The party leaders are now at work
on the platform to be adopted At the
convention to be held here Wednesday.
A particularly strong plank win be in
serted in favor of the present prohibit
DRY law and against resubmisslon, but
it win demand a rigid enforcement Of
the law and will demand the removal
OF officers who neglect their duties
This plank will also declare for ma
tienal prohibition.
The platform will again contain an
equal suffrage plank. Planks win also
be offered indorsing federal legislation
for protecting food fish from their nat
ural enemies. the enactment Of a law
for presidential preference primaries
and the enactment of legislation which
will allow operatives in mills and fac
tories ample opportunities TO 90 to the
polls and vote on the day of any ma
tional stats or municipal election.
