Almost at the same time Theodore

George w. Perkins and other Progress

nomination OF Hughes was to be ef-

Roosevelt in a telegram to the Pro-

Mr.. Roosevelt said that at about five

Roosevelt Offers Lodge.
The Roosevelt proposal to select
his friend, Henry Cabot Lodge. as a

Lodges name was not even for

agreed to put the name of Hughes
before that convention hardly caused
a stir, nor did the news that came a

been tabled by the Progressives.

He Had the Price.

Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league,
and a guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out,
and as Billy had only n man extra,
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find a nan to fill in. He drew a big
hick, who said he couldn't play, but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were tx
cited.
Our hero, the hick, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked i've the left field
fence for a homer. Instead Of running,
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled, Run, you boob,
run!"
The hick turned and faced Bill and
in a slow voice drawled: mo. sir, ]
won't run. I'm no coward. I'll admit
l lost your ball. but ! got the money
right here in my pocket to pay for it."
