papers express great regret at the
death of Walter Hines Page. the
late American ambassador at Lon
don. and print appropriations Of his
work at the court OF St. James.
The Globe says:
His discharge Of his duties as
American ambassador entitled him
to rank with the most successful OF
the brilliant men who have occu-
pied that distinguished position in
the past. He never failed TO inter

In almost every circle OF young
people there is one girl who is "a
good friend TO everyone. The girls
think she is jolly and a good sort. -
and call her a good sport and say
that someday some lucky beggar is
going 10 come along and get a
mighty fine wife but none OF them
ever show desire to be Lucky
Beggar." Then when Lucky Beg
gar does come along and marry
her. they realize just how much
they thought Of her and just how
nice it would have been TO have her
for a wife
Blanche Watson was Just that
sort OF a girl. At the age OF TWEEN

childhood together, and naturally
thought a lot of one anOther-in a

thought about Lucky Beggar' and
wondered when he would come To
take the treasure Blanche away.
There was nothing he did not con-
fde 10 her for all the boys let her
in on their little secrets and asked
for her sisterly advice in matters of
love and other things OF less i'm

of the heart than any of the others,
and many a tale of a bright yOung
lady who had smiled upon him, was
poured into Blanche's ear.
Ida Isdore the popular debutante
was the first one TO whom Benson
lost his heart. Blanche had ad-
vised against a premature proposal.
but he had not listened. with the re-
suit that Ida laughed at him.
Then followed closely the affair
with Lucille Garbett Benson
wrote his proposal to her: she an

him please to come and decipher his
letter as she could not make out

was a wretched writer. but he was
also wise enough TO know that Lu-

affair with Coretla promised TO be
real one. Blanche shook her

Mccall For
State Senator

In the proper column of this paper
will be found the announcement of
Joe H. Mccall of Westport, as a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for State Senate to represent
the counties of Henry and Carroll
in the next General Assembly. Mr..
Mccall really needs no introduction
to the voters of this county, having
previously served them in this capac-
ity and made an enviable record.
Mr.. Mccall is a staunch Democrat
and it is not thought at this time he
will have any opposition in his cleo
tion and this is evidently a time
when good men such as Mr.. Mccall
is, should be elected without opposi-
tion. The country has too much at
stake trying to win the war, to have
hot political fight to contend with.
