Senator LOQSc, VINO helQ the
conventions attention for an hour
and half, devoted virtually the
entire last half hour OF his address
10 lampoonmg "Mr. Wilson" The
conventions reception TO his bel
ligerent call to battle against the
Wilsonian hosts was unanimous
without being vociferous. The ap-
proval he extorted for his repeated
thrusts at the President were un-
mistakable, but never wildly en-
thusiastic.
There was at no stage of Sena-
tor. Lodges presence upon the plat
form-either when he first appear
ed. or during his speech. or at its
end-any OF the long and thunder
Gus demonstrations which are so
familiar a feature 6f national con-
ventions. Indeed the outstanding
aspect of the opening sessions
brief proceedings was the un-
demeanor of the 9sf
delegates and the $4,000 odd other
convention participants.
Cheer Leader Mt Work.
The national committee had an
ticipated that the Chicago conven-
tion would be conspicuously unemo-
tional. that its ebullitions would
have to be more or less organized"
for one of today's principal func-
tionaries was a professional cheer
leader" He has the voice and the
gymnastic qualities of a captain OF
college ''rooters.' 1t was not until
he had raised his arms and called
Justify for three cheers for Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge" that the
convention seemingly could be
stirred into demonstrative mood.
That it had lungs and knew how
to use them was proved by the
hearty response il made TO the
cheer leaders appeal.
Old time convention observers are
talking tonight of little else than
the "stolidity" which characterized
events at the Coliseum. They say
it auCurs well for the temper and
for the character of decisions the
convention will make before the
week is out.
They believe il stamps the present
Conclavc of the Republican party
as the sanest. most conservative and
altogether most 'imperturbable"
convention in the organizations
contemporary history.
Safe and Sane Plan Seen.
The kind of reception, in other
words, that Senator Lodges keynote
speech evoked denotes nothing OF
apathy or lack of confidence in what
1920 holds out. 1t breathes a spirit
of determination to met the conven-
tion issues in a mood of cool-headed
deliberation. No wild" candidates
and no wild" theories are likely to
sweep off their fet the uneXcitable
body of Republicans, who are as
sembled at Chicago to organize vic
tory in November.
National Chairman Will II. Hays,
a boyish figure in seasonable blue
serge, called the convention to order
at 1885 o'clock more than half an
hour behind the schedule.
Behind him, as he walked to the
front of the speakers fatform, was
ranged a great galaxy of G. o. p.
dignitaries, including members OF

A Story Coal Would
Tell If 1t Could

America owes its growth largely
to coal, for without it how could
locomotives, steamships, ore and
coke furnaces and most important
of all our heating stoves be in
existence.
Coal was formed ages ago when
the earth was forming. There was
just a thin crust of earth and the
heat from the earth made it very
warm for vegetation. What We call
weeds were as high as an ordinary
bush.
This crust would rise and fall
When it would fall water would
run in and cover up the trees that
had fallen.
When wood decays the carbon of
the wood unites with the oxygen of
the air. But when the water runs
in the wood turns into kind of a
charcoal, because no oxygen can
get to it.
The veins of coal are generally
about Sc to 60 feet wide and high.
Sometimes it is SO near the surface
that it may be mined sumiar to
the way rock is taken out of a
quarry. Sometimes it goes straight
through a hill so the mine looks
like a tunnel.
Bituminous coal is the cheaper
grade of coal. Because it has so
much bitum or mineral pitch in it.
Anthracite is a higher grade of
coal because it is harder. Anthra-
cite is Greek word, meaning ruby
because it has kind of red glow
and no flame.
Most generally you 60 down
dark shaft to enter a mine. The
modern mines are lighted electric
ally now. A hundred years ago
they used candles in mines until
Humphrey Davy found that fire
would not go through thin wire
gauze ard after that they used
little carbide lamps that fastened
on their hats.
Mining is dangerous work. A
miner never knows when his axe
may strike a vein of water or the
mine may catch fire.

Three days later, at 800 in the
afternoon and three miles from the
islands and as three of us were
standing together on the deck,
Marge said:
These are islands. aren't they?
Oh, do so love an island!" And
she repeated William Sharps lines:
There is an isle beyond our ken,
Haunted by dreams of weary men;
Grey hopes enshadow it with wings
Weary with burdens of old things.
There the insatiate water springs
Rise with the tears of all who weep,
And deep within it--deep, oh deep,
The furtive voice OF sorrow sings
There evermOre
Till time be DER.
Sad, oh so sad! The dreams of men
Drift through the isle beyond our
ken"

HOW NELLIE LOST
HER BEST FRIEND

Ore day in spring there were two
small girls, playing along the
street whose names We're Nellie
! and Bessie. These girls were oil
the same age and were great
friends.
Nellie was cross most of the
time and was unkind to many little
creatures and would do many harm,
full things to little birds, which
couldn't protect themselves. This,
Bessie did not like at all She
| tried to teach Nellie different. but
it did no good
| One day while Nellie and Bessie
were playing along the street. the
neighbors had a poll parrot sitting
out in the front yard. Nellie cried:
oh. Bessie. let's throw stones at
this bird and make it cry" While
Bessie was list ening she only re-
piled: There is no one to throw
stones at you when you are enjoy
ing yourself"
"Oh! You big crank, anyway.
Never want to have any fun" said
Nellie.
Yes, / do, but l don't believe in
doing such things" said Bessie.
This made Nellie mad and she
went on throwing stones at the
parrot. Poll Parrot cried the
bird. What do you think I pm?
Be like Bessie. please have mercy |
OH me-" In the meantime, Bessie !
ran up to the parrot and took it in
her arm and rubbed it.
Poor POLL" said Bessie.
This made Nellie more and more
angry, so she said:
60 home, you're no friend Of
mine"
Bessie says: why Nellie!" |
That's all right, you mind me-"
Bessie did as she was told, Nellie
Vas sorry of the way she had
reated Bessie. She wrote letter
o Bessie to forgive her
Bessie answered.: II still think
# you, but can never be the same
,irl as when we were true friends"
Nellie was so sorry of the way
he had treated her friend Bessie
nd said she never would forget

THE BLACK MASK
CHAPTER III

4
Joe was killed and Buck Ranger
was put on the Farrow farm to
work and to watch the family.
Things had been going on well
for a week or so, and Buck had be-
come used to the work and did very
well.
! While he was in the barn he was
thinking who the Black Mask was
He finally chose to find out for
| himself. So, saddling his horse,
B.! he rode up to the door of the house
and said, Pm goin' to town for
awhile. I'll be back soon."
Then he started out the gate with
! his gun dangling at his side.
After he had gotten into town he
went into the only bar in the town
where he thought the outlaws
might be. He looked around
awhile and could not see anyone
that looked like outlaws.
Hello, there, stranger, what We
lookin' fora fight?" said laugh
ing voice behind him.
Buck turned and saw a man who
looked to be good-natured, mo, I'm
not looking for that"
Well, let's have a game of poker,
them said the man.
Buck consented only because he
wanted to learn something OF the
Black Mask.
In about half an hour three men
walked in the bar and sat down in
dark corner around table At
once they started talking in low
voices.
Who are those men," asked
Buck, after looking at them for
awhile.
They are part of the Black Mask
gang said the other softly.
Pretty soon the three men
walked out the door
Remember at one O'Clock this
night" said one.
"All right" agreed the other two
men.
Then they parted.
How did you come to know
them?" asked Buck.
They stole some of my cattle
one night. 1t happened that when
they were just startin' to go |
heard 'em and got up out of bed,
| saw most of their faces, but one .
who wore a mask. | didn't want
to do anything for l knew the
whole gang could kill me before
could do anything. I'm gonna
wait till | kin git a gang and fight
EN-"
Very good, but what place have
you?"
ITS called the Starr Ranch.
Starr is my name"
Buck started in surprise for he
the place where Joe
Farrow was shot.
II would like to be the first man
TO join your gang and now l will
be goin'," said Buck cheerfully.
On his way home Buck was won
lering what those three men were
Up to. After awhile he dropped the
matter and turned his mind to the
Kings about him.
When he got home he started to
inish the work. At night he re-
urned to the house saying, I'm
ired, | think I will 60 to bed"
All right, then We'll come later"
cooking up from his work with a
,mile.

ould not go to sleep for he was

forest but 25 miles away.
After an absence of three days, a
heavy-hearted, sha tered houseless
President returned to view the char
red walls of his official residence and
Of the Capitol. At every turn he was
greeted by ugly mutterings of the gen.
eral disposition to make him the
scapegoat for all the National short
cOmings in war that had been thrust
upon him. But with victory at New
Orleans and the return to peace, the
voice of the Pathfinder was drowned
in the hum of sudden prosperity. And
in the closing days of his administra-
ton Madison was cheered by many as
suranceS that his countrymen were
not forgetful of the 40 years that he
had served them in pure devotion.
Like John Adams, he emerged from
his retirement to sit in the Constitu-
tional Convention of his State, where
the aged statesman closed his active
public life, as he had opened it, with
a sentiment of humanity for the slaves.
His long service still was to be crown

Carolina and her policy of notification
aroused the venerable father of the
Constitution and drew from him a
ringing challenge to the spirit of dis
union. After his death there was
