 Plenty of New Britain evidence of their worth.
 Mrs. w. E. Stewart 40 Grand St. New Britain, says: My back ached so badly at one time that I could hardly .straighten.

NEW YORK i. O.P
 CONVENE TONIGHT
Will Select Delegates to RepubG-
 can National Assembly

New York, Feb. 15.-The important question in the minds of delegates 10 the republican state convention who assembled here today for the opening of the convention tonight was whether Governor Charles $. Whitman would head the delegation from New York state to the republican national con- vent1on. That Governor Whitman would be designated as one of the four 1 delegates at large was conceded by l he party leaders at conferences which preceded the convention. The governor has announced that he expects to lead the New York dele 2ation to the national convention, but 1t has been pointed out that the state convention, under the new primary laws, can only designate the delegates
 at large for submission to the voters at the primaries on April 1, and that the chairman of the delegation may not actually be selected until the whole New York delegation meets in Chi cago on the eve of the national con- VentiOn.
 Wadsworth to Be Named.
 The choice of United States Senator James w. Wadsworth Jr., as one of the ."big four" was conceded. The two other places lay among Frederick C Tanner of this city, chairman Of the republican state committee; Will liam Berri of Brooklyn, and Dr. David Jayne Hill of Rochester, for merly American ambassador to Ger many.
 Elihu Root, formerly United States senator, has been urged to accept designation as one of the four dele gates at large, and it is said was off, fered an opportunity to name his as- sociates, but it is understood that he declined to do either.
 Will Endorse Whitman.
 Endorsement of Governor Whit mans administration was predicted today, but whether mild or strong was not determined The governor does not plan to attend the convention.
 The republican state committee will meet at o'clock this afternoon to consider some of the important pre- Iiminaries. The convention was called to meet at Carnegie hall at o'clock tonight MT. Root will call the con- vention to order as temporary chair man and deliver a speech outlining is sues of the coming national campaign.
 Adjourn Till Tomorrow.
 After choosing it's committees, the is expected to adjourn until tomorrow morning when Senator Wadsworth will be elected permanent chairman The platform, it is ex- pected, will demand a policy of na- tional preparedness, a regular army large enough to meet a first attack, citizen army for the second line of de- fense, reassert the necessity to uphold the Monroe Doctrine, and demand a policy of protection of national indus tries and of economy in national and state government. Some pronounce ment is looked for upon the foreign T clicy of the national government.
 Notwithstanding that the primary law has shorn the state convention of | a great deal of it's former power, to- 1 rights meeting is full of significance l to the members of the republican party as foreshadowing the spirit of 1 the national in June.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-07-25

There was once a young Prince
whose wicked uncle had taken the
kingdom from him when his father,
the old King, had died, and turned
him out to wander in the world Now
the Prince had been brought up to
have everything in the world his
heart could wish. and so, for a time,
1t went very hard with him For he
did not know how to earn enough
to buy a meal or place to sleep.
AS he wandered one day, faint and
hungry, through a great forest, he
came to tumble down hut and there
being no other place to rest, he en-
tered and lay down to sleep When
he aWoke he noticed a huge box in
the corner, and, going up to it, he
lifted the lid. Inside there was another

Box after box he found inside, as he
opened each one, and each one was
smaller than the one before, until at

he read aloud the words:

Immediately the voice said in his
ear: Il am here to do thy bidding

The next moment the hut vanished
and. in its place there appeared a

ants. The Prince found everything
there that his heart could wish, but
he soon grew tired of it and wished
for still other things; great treasures
and ships and chariots and such cost
ly things. And these he squandered
in a reckless way. Anyone might
have anything they might ask of him.
For" he thought, "all I have to do
is to read the paper, Jack, my boy,
come hither,' and can get vice as
much more"
So the Prince got more reckless and
careless each day until at last he
did not take the trouble even to guard
the magic paper. Then, one day, when
he desired something and went to get
the paper and ask it, he found it was
gone.
Instantly everything he had, palaces,
pleasure grounds, retinues and stables
vanished, and he found himself lying
again in the hut. AS he lay there, the
King of the county, who was hunting
in the forest, came by and spied him
What vagabond is this?" he asked

His attendants seized him and were
about to do MS bidding when the
Princess, his daughter, who attracted
by the Princes beauty, secretly told
the attendants not to put the rope
around his neck, but about his arms.
So they hung him up and left him.
AS he thus hung, bemoaning his
fate and his folly in squandering his
fortune, instead of saving it. he saw
