"The letter! Oh, yes-the letter."
Allan MacCrae's voice trembled.
"I'll find it and read it to you"
Hurry! What does she say?"
''I'l find it," Allan MacCrae said
again. cpl find it"
Then, with parched lips, he read:

of my days, for love you"
81 knew she'd write! I was bound
to wait for it"
Allan MacCrae sat for a long time
beside the still body, almost as mo-

He turned the bit of paper that

"Both sides are blank" he said.
"White and blank. Yet, I seemed to

He tore the paper into tiny
pieces and scattered them on the
cabin floor. An Grant breeze, dane
ing through the door, caught them
up and whirled them merrily about,
like snow-fakes.
Allan MacCrae still sat by the
silent figure, almost as motionless.
with his head in his hands.

Hey, Paul Bunyan!
Here's n Rndish

The legendary Paul Bunyan
might have used it to garnish
plate of whole roasted buffaloes,
but the white-tipped radish Ben
Stackowitz of Winona grew on his
farm has no place in modern civ
ilization. Stackowitz was faced
with problem as to what to do
with it once he wrested it from its
bed. He could, of course, use a
buck saw, slice it up and sell it
by the pound, or he could put it
some place for display in its orig
inal state.
This radish defied all laws of
natural growth, and attained
weight of six pounds. Total length
from radish root to stalk tip is
68 inches. The radish itself is
1874 inches long and 1925 inches
in circumference at its greatest
girth. The stalk is four inches in
circumference. Yes, Paul Bunyan
would have looked at it and gulped
it down. We moderns can only
cape and gulp in establishment.

NAMING A PARTY

IRONICALLY enough, the names
L of the two principal political par
ties once were combined as Demo
cratic Republicans, a group of
which the standard bearer was
Thomas Jefferson, referred to per-
haps oftener than any other leader
when Democrats trace their po-
litical origin.
Under Jackson the party name
was shortened to Democrat, which
it continues to bear.
Republicans emerged as sepa-
rate party as early as 1854, al
though it's first nominating conven-
ton was held two years later. Up
at Ripon, Wis, in a corner of the
campus of Ripon college, stands
the Ripon Congregational church,
scene of the first G. o. P. meeting.
The Ripon meeting had been
called by Major Alvan E. Bovay,
a Wing lawyer, who generally
receives credit for suggesting the
name of the party.
He had passed on his idea to
Horace Greeley who later advo-
Gated the name Republican at a
convention in Jackson, Mich.
Although Ripon had a voting list
that hardly exceeded 100 in those
days of exclusively male suffrage,
more than half of them attended
Bovay's first gathering. The i'm
pulse which brought them together
was the conviction that the slavery
question was coming rapidly to
a head and that those who opposed
must unite in new group, regard
less of geographical lines.
Northern states naturally proved
the most fertile ground for spread
ing the new doctrine. Before the
party's first national convention,
which was held in Philadelphia on
June II, 1861 firm "toehold'' had
been secured by senatorial repre-
sentation at Washington.
History fails to record what part,
if any, Major Bovay played in the
Philadelphia meeting. The dele
gates were unanimously in favor of
nominating John G. Fremont and
he was selected on the first ballot.
Another Republican attended,
however. He was the gangling Hi
nois rail-splitter, Abe Lincoln, and
some of his colleagues had the
temerity to advance his name as
a candidate for vice-president.
Honest Abe" lost the nomination
but four years later he was to
carry the party to victory.

The Letter
By ALICE NORRIS LEWIS
q Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.

A LII the way up the trail, Allan
"A MacCrae had looked for curl
of smoke in the direction of the
clearing. AS yet, he had seen none.
Once or twice, as he drew near
er camp, he stopped his horse and
listened for any sound of life that
might drift down the mountain side
with the breeze. He heard nothing.
Louis, he reflected, ought to be
getting supper. Louis knew he'd be
hungry after his long ride. He
knew about what time to expect
him in. Even if he hadn't made
the fire, he ought to be chopping his
kindling for it. If he was, the
sound should carry down to him.
He paused again, cupped his ear
with his hand, and listened. Only
the soft swish of the pines and the
chirrup of a few early crickets!
Strange! Had that thing happened
of which he had often prophesied?
BY the time the little cabin came
into view, Allan MacCrae was trem-
bling with fear. If Louis was with
in, getting supper, waiting for him,
now, at least, he should hear the
clatter of tin or the shutting OF
feet across the cabin floor.
Silence! Only silence! And the
cabin door stood open! There was
a menace in the open cabin door.
Two days ago, when MacCrae
stood ready to start for the city, he
had said, as he often did:
Louis, you ought to 60 with me.
'Tain't safe to keep your finds hid
around the shack any longer. Folks
is wise here, that we're strikin' II
rich. You've been fool enough to
tell some of 'em that you don't trust
the bank. Any jackass could guess
you was hoardin' your pickin's here.
You talk too much, Louis far, far
too much fer a wise man. You
come along with me today. Louis,
I've got bunch you oughter."
Louis had shaken his head and
laughed. But his voice held stub
born ring as he replied: you're
full O. lunches, you are! I won't
60, amt I told you that so times or
more-not until I've made all want
to make? Then I'm going and new
er coming back. I'm goin' straight
to-her."
"Oh," retorted MacCrea. Her
"There'l be a letter for me in
town. Get it for me, will you, old
man? Pm setting great store on
getting that letter."
ooh, I'll bring it up" promised
MacCrae, sourly. "I'll bring it up
for you. But, mind-I got bunch
you'll be a dead man when I get
back"
Louis had laughed again. "You
and your hunches!" he had cried.
"Well-so long! Don't forget the let
ter"
Had his "hunch" at last become
a reality? He leaped from his
horse and ran to the cabin and went
in through the door.
The room was in the greatest con-
fusion. Allan MacCrae knew the
significance of the disorder.
''Louis!" he cried. "Louis! Are
you here? Answer!"
He found him, still breathing, in
the corner-like wounded animal,
nursing his hurts in the dark.
ooh, boy!" sobbed Allan Mac
Craze, "Oh, boy! I've always been
afraid of this"

@REsIDENT ROOsEVELTs
u barbed attacks on Senators
George Of Georgia and Tydings
L Of Maryland and on Repre-
sentative OConnor Of New York have
aroused considerable discussion In
political circles here not only as to
the effect Of these diatribes in the
home States Of the candidates.. but
as to the political repercussions in
osher States. While there Is little In
the way Of actual report along this
line on which to base arm conclusion,
1t is widely held that border lines"
will be wiped out in the controversy
which the Presidents action has
stirred up and that the reaction will
be widespread. 1t is admitted that
there is still much confusion over this
angle Of the situation in many States,
but there is general belief, based on
such information as has reached here,
that the unprecedented executive move
will not be confined In results to the
States directly involved. Furthermore
it is believed. the bitter feeling 1t has
engendered will not die down.
