COP. CONVENTION TO BE GREATEST IN HISTORY

Preliminary plans for the Republi- can national convention at Chicago on June s, as outlined by Chairman Will Hays at the recent meeting of the re- publican national committee in Wash inGton, indicate that thiS will be one of the most notable conventions ever held in history of the party. Certain ly it will be the largest, in the num- her of party workers. entitled to of- t'ciai seats in the convention, for al- though the number of delegates has been slightly reduced, Chairman Hays has suggested, and the suggestion has heen enthusiastically endorsed, that seats of honor shall be provided in the convention for those party work CTS in eacr state who will be official ly responsible for the spirited cam- paign which will follow the selection of party candidate at Chicago.
 This list will include the state chairman of each state, the head of the women's division of the republi- can party in each state, the chairmen of the ways and means committees of the various states, and the chairmen of the women's branch of the ways and means committee. Mr. Hays be. lieves that these party workers should be given every recognition at Chicago, and that they will thus be better pre- pared to take up the work of the cam paign. The Chairman announced that although the auditorium at Chicago in which the convention will be held had been enlarged, it was his purpose to have just as many of the leading party workers ir atterklance as he could crowd onto the floor, and that he believed the convention would be q record-breaker for attendance and en. thusiasm.

happen on the month of February, and nothing can be more plausible, for Saturn, Jupiter and Mars were then in conjunction in the sign of the Fishes. Every nation in Europe, Asia and Africa that heard of the predic- tion was in consternation. The whole world expected the deluge in spite of the rainbow. Several contemporary authors relate that the inhabitants of the maritime provinces of Germany hastened to sell their lands, at any price, to such as had more money and less credulity than themselves. Each one provided himself with boat to serve as an ark. A doctor of Toul. ouse, in particular, named Auriol, had an ark built for himself, his family and friends, and the same precautions were taken in a great part of Italy. At last the month of February arriv- ed and not a drop of rain fell. Never was a month more dry; never were the astrologers more embarrassed -C. B. Wilson.

T. A. Slattery tells a yarn about an Irishman who spent his last dollar to come to this country, and after hunt ing for a week to get work, unavail- ingly, walked to the dock and sat down and looked out over the ocean, thinking what a fool he had been to spend his last dollar to come here when he might be in Ireland with the money he spent to come here in his pocket. Just then a diver, who hap pened to be working under water near the dock, came to the surface near the Irishman. He unscrewed his head

Some of the Williams boys attend ing court recall the time when Ike Earth, of Albuquerque, who brught his sylphlike frame and tremendous intellect up here to hypnotize the Nell son. Raymond jury, left his boyhood home in Apache county and struck out for himself. Ike was IS years old then and even at that early age gave promise of later graceful beauty and prodigious mentality. Recognizing that budding genius and charm, Jake Salzman, a Williams merchant, gave him a job as night watchman in his store.
 Ike was carefully instructed in the process of staying awake during the hours he was on duty. All went well for a few nights and then some burg lars decided to burgle the store. So they broke in, gathered up all they could carry and, just as they were getting ready to depart, stumbled over Ike, sleeping sweetly and, as one of them afterward graphically though inelegantly expressed it, snoring like the blanket Ike was sleeping under and then left. Ike slept till morning; but he didn't sleep there any more after that.
 By the way, Ike is getting the rep utation of being the richest man in the southwest. It is reported that he is authority for the story himself. His accession of great wealth, he explains, 90 it is said, came about through his retention as attorney for a woman who was to be deported. She was de- ported, and the government attempt ed to seize some forty barrels of whisky and a lot of other boozeables of which she was possessed. But Ike had the attachment set aside, and, it is said he says, now has the whole lot in his sole and undisputed posses sion, to drink or give away, as he pleases.
 Ike says he doesn't drink, so he should never be without attentive friends.

 Tom Brown, who jus, got back froii Texas last week, tells about hunting dog one of his relatives there recently owned. This relative of Toms attend ed county court the first day of its session, and took the dog with him Some one asked him about the dog whereat he began to praise that ami mal, enthusiastically and eloquently, interspersing his remarks with fire. quent assurances that $50 would not buy the dog.
 "Is he a good huntin' dog, fer a fact ?" asked one of the bystanders.
 Good huntin' dog? Wan l should say he is. You never saw as good a huntin' dog as that there one. l sure wouldn't take $50 for that dog" The man offered Toms relative SIG for the dog, which, after little par ley, Toms relative accepted. A few weeks later the man who bought the dog came to see Toms relative, bringing the dog along, Look here," he said, "I thought you said that was good huntin' dog"
 "Well, j. ain't he ?"
 "Why, that damn dog don't know the first thing bout huntin.'"
 Well, now, ain't that queer," Toms relative unused. "You see, l didn't know anything else he was good for, so l thought he must be good hunt in dog"

 This was duly shown around, but next morning his pride was boundless on receiving this message: "The all lied armies are proud of you.-Foch." !"
