Thus it was that Makharof finally
left the asylum. He married and be-

Sometimes he met the acrobat. Then
he would say to him, almost without
moving his lips:
"But we are yet, and always, roost-

However, by reason of always liv-

ended by completely forgetting that
he was rooster. Or well it was that

Strain Of Convention

Madison Square Garden, New Yorl
The Democratic national conven
ton brought its tempestous sessions
to close early on the morning OF
July 10, placing before the country
a ticket headed by John W. Davis of
West Virginia with Governor Charles
w. Bryan of Nebraska in second
place.
Nominated on the 103rd ballot in
the final dissolution of the deadlock
which has ripped the convention for
ten days, Mr.. Davis began his SER
vice as the leader of his party by up
setting precedent and addressing the
convention at the evening session,
and then going into conference with
convention managers over choice of
a nominee for the vice presidency.
Governor Bryan was chosen for
second place on the ticket after his
friends had placed before Mr.. Davis
and his conferees an argument for
selection of a western man of proven
executive capacity, familiar with
agriculture and in sympathy with
the liberal sentiment of the country. |
