declared. What is Satan? A false

There is hell even on earth, a home

Rooster Acts
as Guardian
of heHouse

Out in CASTOR avenue there lives
a rooster, a big Plymouth Rock
creature, which is as good as a
policeman and better than some
dogs when it comes to guarding
the premises he inhabits. and some
OF the stunts he has pulled off have
set the neighbors to talking at q
furious rate.
The other day, for instance, the
feathered protector of the fireside
conceived the idea that a pretty
little six-year-old lassie contemp-
lated an attack upon his home ano
he flew off the back porch, where
she was standing guard and chased
the little girl fully half block
up Fifth street. Then feeling that
had done his duty the rooster
calmly marched back and resum-
ed his guard duty.

LINCOLN NOMINATED
IN 26-WORD SPEECH
Many Slept on Billiard Tables at
First G. o. p. Convention in
Chicago 60 Years Ago.

- CHICAGO, June Sat the first Re-
publican National Convention, held in
Chicago sixty years ago
An Iowa delegate walked $50 miles
to get to a railroad to come to the
convention.
Special railroad rates were made
and Chicagos population probably
doubled in convention week.
Hotel rooms were $3.50 to $3.50 a
day.
Crowds were so great that billiard
tables in the hotels were pressed into
service as beds.
The Wigwam in which the conven-
ton was held was probably about the
size of the annex to the Coliseum, In
which this years convention takes
place
The wigwam's profuse decoration
was largely furnished by the Repub-
lican women of Chicago. They were
invited to come armed and equipped
with those formidable weapons.
needles, thimbles. scissors, etc, etc.
When a special train pulled in with
the Massachusetts and other New
England delegates, rockets were sent
up and a cannon doomed to announce
their arrival to waiting friends.
The gallery in the convention hall
was reserved for women and their es-
corts. Because of the great number
Of men unable to get in, one man was
reported trying to get into the gallery
with an Indian sauaw selling mocca-
sins as his credentials, but was ex-
cluded on the ground that she was
no lady.
The two chief nominating, speeches
were made In less than thirty words.
Abraham Lincoln was placed in nomt
nation in twenty-six words.
The making OF the presidential
nomination was announced to the city
by the firing of cannon placed on
the roof Of the convention hall
That night cannon and rockets were
fred. bonfires lighted and multitude
nous parades formed. their partici-
pants carrying anything that would
serve-even to rakes and fshing
poles.
The foregoing data were obtained
from the library OF the Chicago His
torical Society which has various
relics Of the convention and the cam
paign that followed.
