LITTLE WORK FOR
DELEGATES To m
CONSIDERABLE EFFORT MADE
TO WORK UP A LITTLE EN-
THUSIAsM IN CONVENTION.
Tie Principle Work OF building the
Platform Was Done at the
White House in
Washington.
BY PERRY S. ARNOLD.
United Press Staff Correspondent

COLISEUM, ST. LOUIS. june Is.
President Wilson in Washington
PULLED the string which launched
the convention which is to nominate
him and Vice President Marshall.
hut he didn't launch it very hard.
The convention met and the dele
gates got worked up into an enthu-
siastic state of mind by some old
Conan. flag waving, old glory songs
and sttead eagle oratory.
The only real work for the dele
gates was in the resolutions com
mittee where the platform builders
tried to put the finishing planks in
the skeleton structure forwarded by
the president from Washington.
The principle features of the plat
form will be an urgent plea for
Americanism with a subsection de-
nouncing certain hyphenated organi-
zations in their efforts to influence
this governments foreign relations.
1t is understood that most of the
progressives' social Justice plank
will be included in the platform and
that there will be no attempt to
"kidnap' the progressive party.
As on yesterday the crowd was
late in assembling today. At IL
O'Clock, the time set for the conven-
ton to open, there were hardly one
thousand persons in the hall and on
ly handful of delegates.
Bryans entrance into the press
box evoked a real demonstration
which continued with cheers and APP
plause for more than a minute.
Temporary Chairman Glynn's
gavel, being delayed by the demon
stration, fell at 11:45. Glynn was
greeted by yells and applause. BY
this time the hall WAS fairly filled,
several hundred seats in the CALLER
les being the only vacant ones avail
able.
Prayer was offered by bishop
J. J. Glennon of st. Louis. He be-
sought divine aid in the delibera :
tons of the day.
Joseph E. Bell of Indiana was
recognized by the chair and he made
formal report of the credentials
committee. The crowd famed and
perspired during the reading OF the
long document containing the re.
ports OF the committee on contest
decisions which had already been
made public. 1t was adopted with
out debate.
w. w. Graves presented the re-
port of the committee of perma-
nent organization. The officials
named we're Ollie James OF Ken
lucky, permanent chairman; }
Bruce Kremer of Montana, perma'
nent secretary; John l.. Martin OF
Missouri, permanent sergeant at
arms. The convention adopted the
deport.
Chairman James started his key
note speech at 1906. He spoke
slowly seldom referring to the text
OF his speech.

respect, personal likings are not con
sidered.
Unless engaged young woman is
never seen promenading with young
man. After the announcement of the
engagement it is perfectly proper for
the couple to walk wherever they
choose holding hands-in fact, that
is the custom.
There are no secret or broken en-
gagements on that island of queer GUS
toms and traditions. The Markenltes
have an engagement rite. The young
man and his affianced sit up all night
with a large candle lighted on the
table between them. After the house
is closed, the parents leave the couple
each in a straight uncomfortable chair
on either side of the table. Not word
can be spoken until the candle has
burned and gone out. The assumption
is that they must be sincerely in love.

When the sun has risen, the respective

There is a curious family of insects

Lanier's Grave Marked.

After thirty-fiye years stone has at
last been raised over the grave Of Sid
ney Lanier in Greenmount cemetery,
in Baltimore. Since his burial there in
1881 the grave has been unmarked.
The tablet set into the bowlder of
Georgia granite which now marks the
grave bears these words of Lanier's:
Il am lit by the SUM-" They are char
acteristic of the poet and they suggest
the appeal which Laniers work will
yet make to the American people; for
though he died in poverty and obscuri-
ty the power OF his almost perfect
song. warmed as it is by the sun and
breathed through by the wind, has
been gaining ever since, until today he
is one of the accepted poets, rather
more than minor" of our literature
and life
The long neglect of his name and his
grave in Baltimore brings out the 9th
er strange fact. says the Boston Tran
script, that Baltimore, though called
the Monumental City" has no monu-
ment to Poe, though in Baltimore he
was reared, and though there he Is
buried. Neither has Boston, where he
was born, statue of him. Our Amer
lean poets are in poor credit with our
statue raisers.

The Pretty Girl.

Give the pretty girl her due: Why
should she not have her share OF
honest praise? Too often when one
comes to investigate he finds half
contemptuous note in the description
of some girl whose beauty stands out
so prominently that it blinds the OBJ
server to her other virtues. Yes, other
virtues. In itself beauty is a virtue,
lust as cheerfulness and unselfishness
and sincerity are virtues. 1t is almost
as hard to cultivate these others as it
is to take thought and add a degree
to beauty. Often they are natural gifts,
and yet a girl with these natural gifts
is given credit for cultivating them,
while the one who is only pretty is
condemned on the ground that she
has had nothing to do with her looks,
that heredity or luck or something else
made her pretty, and that she is sat
listed to be pretty and nothing else.
Give the pretty girl her due. Admit
that whether she wills or not she is
doing q service in the world, just as
the rainbow or the violet or the noun
tain do their part. And admit, too,
that usually she is glad to render her
lhare to the Joy of the world. that,

strange gentleman. WhereuHon Far
quhar turned in his tracks and drove
straight to PrestOn's lodgings. His
purpose was now twofold, and fired
by n white-hot fury of Indignation. In
the strange gentleman" he had rec
ognized Lowe. and Preston was fool
with a following of other fools. For
in that moment Farquhar had ceased
to be a man overshadowed by his own
black destiny. He was once more and
for the last time the officer upon whose
shoulders rested the honor of a regi-
ment, the great unity which he served.
1t was a curious group of men that
confronted him as he hesitated on the
threshold. That which he had expect
ed was not there. Evidently a card
game had been in full swing but had
been violently interrupted. The cards
lay scattered on the square, green table
beneath the electric light, and there
was Il pile of untouched, apparently
forgotten money. Both Sower and
Lowe were present, together with
Preston and one other man, whom
Farquhar did not recognize. They
stood far apart from one another, as
though divided by some hidden antag-
oniSm-Sower by the fireside, where
he maintained an attitude of easy good
nature, touched indefinably with re-
gret; Lowe and the stranger kept to
the shadow on opposite sides Of the
sroom. Preston was standing next the
table, his hands resting clenched on
the polished edge, his boyish face gray
and drawn-looking. AS Farquhar saw
him the spirit of tension became def
mite. an almost visible occupant of the
quiet room. And yet it was Arnaud's
face which Farquhar saw first and
last. Here was Sylvia Omney's fu-
ture-a white-lipped man. whom some

Two afternoon suits. one of silk pop
lin and one of taffeta, proclaim them
selves correct exponents of the ac-
cepted mode, but each has something
unusual and chic to boast of.
In the suit Of bronze taffeta at the
right it is the clever use of shirrings
that gives it It's bit of distinction. The
skirt is extra full and is shaped into
the waist with parallel rows of shir-
rings set close together. This man
agement of the skirt is familiar
enough, but the same idea introduced
in the coat is unusual. A short yoke
and high collar are formed by shir-
