PACKS. H6W TAFT WAS Proceedings of Republican Convention. Chicago, June 19.—With the appoint ment pf committees to notify William Howard Taft of Ohio and James Schoolcraft Sherman of New York of their nomination respectively for the presidency and the vice presidency of the United States, the fourteenth Re publican national convention adjourn ed. Both candidates were nominated on the first ballot. Mr. Taft’s nomination took place Thursday atteruoou aud Mr. Sherman’s Friday morning. The vice presidential candidate is a resident of Utica, N. I, aud has been a member of congress for nearly twenty years. Mr. Sherman was chairman of the con gressional campaign committee for (lie Republican party in 190ti. In the con vention he received 815 votes, and his nomination was made unanimous. Three features of the great conven tion stand out above the rest In hu man Interest. One was the remarkable demonstration of applause evoked by i the mention of President Roosevelt’s 1 name in a highly complimentary way j by the permanent chairman, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. This demonstration lasted forty-six minutes and is said to have broken the time record for such things in Ameri can politics. The cue for the enthuslas- j tic outbreak was Senator Lodge's re mark during his opening address as chairman when he said, “The president la the best abused and the most popu lar man In the United States today.” Another signal feature was the com mittee fight on the antl-injnnotion plank, otherwise the proposed plank for the platform which Was designed with a view to expressing the administra tion’s disapproval of hasty court in junctions against the presumed rights of lakir. The struggle resulted finally In a compromise, both sides yielding la part, so that harmony might be pre served and the party go before the peo ple with a plank on this subject calcu lated to conciliate the labor interests and at the same time not to be con strued as an unwarranted attack upon the federal judiciary. The third feature In the group here set forth as markers to posterity for the big Chicago convention was a nega tive one—something that didn't happen, though it was expected to happen by many persons throughout the country and by notJh-fe*”--rHte <J' me'rijj* ,n tfcv convection. nftliT .vis absent* ef the “stampede” for a rehomination of President Roosevelt against the pres ident's express declaration that he would abide absolutely by the unwrit ten law that no president shall serve more than two terms. Mr. Taft’s nomi nation proceeded along smoothly to ultlmation, the nation was preserved from any present peril of the third term bogy and the president’s name preserved to future ages as one who, with a further extension of power within his grasp, was patriot enough to put aside the proffer for his coun try’s good. While, as stated, a nega tive feature, this cannot be passed by as one of the few matters of paramount force In the history of the 1908 con vention. Ambassador Bryos’s Visws. It was an inspiring convention from ■tart to finish. Partisanship aside, such an event is of thrilling interest to •very American. But in this conven tion there were represented many of the nations of Europe and of South America by their ambassadors and ministers, who sat upon tbe platform as guests. Ambassador Bryce of Great Britain, author of “The American Com monwealth” and said to know more about America than the average edu cated American knows, for tbe first time attended a national nominating convention. “Thia machinery of con ventions,” said the ambassador after watching the proceedings closely, “as you have it In this country, is the most complete, full recognition of the rights of the people to which any country has attained, because people not only at elections say who shall be their officers, but in these party conventions they de termine on the men who ought to be put forward as the representatives of parties.” Harry S. New of Indianapolis, chair man of the Republican national com mittee, called the convention to order in the immense Coliseum Tuesday noon. Mr. New introduced the tem porary chairman, Senator Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan, after a devout prayer by Bishop P. J. Muldoon of Chi cago. The bishop concluded with tbe Lord’s Prayer, In which many of the 10,000 persons present joined. Just prior to Mr. New’s announcement of the temporary chairman tbe call of the national committee was made by John B. Malloy, the secretary, whose mighty voice is one of his qualitlcstions for that Job. Mr. Mailoy created a little amusement by pronouncing Hawaii as If spelled “Hawwaugh,” the proper pro nunciation being like the words “How are you” with the “r” left out of the second word. Senator Burrows read a long address In which he reviewed ably the affairs of the nation and the achievements of the Republican party in both the ex ecutive and legislative branches of the government The paper was largely statistical, but despite this fact it was followed with interest by the audience, ▲t the first mention of Roosevelt's Mm* there was hearty handclapping IB the galleries and upon the delegates’ Boor. Congressman Nicholas Long worth and his wife, President Boose volt’s daughter, sat la the space re NOMINATED WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. ROOSEVELT LAUDS TAFT. I! White House, I] Washington, June 18, 1908. I feel that the country is in- I! deed to be congratulated upon the nomination of Mr. Taft. I have known him intimately for T many years and I have a pecul- I! iar feeling for him, because throughout that time we have worked for the same objects with the same purposes and ideals. I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man so well fitted to be presi- 11 dent.% He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterest- ed and upright, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation’s needs, without and within, and the broadest sym- I! pathies with all our citizens. He would be as emphatically a president of the plain people as Lincoln himself, yet not Lin- coin himself would be freer from the least taint of dema- I! gogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of any kind. He has a peculiar and inti- mate knowledge of and sympa- thy with the needs of all our people—of the farmer, of the wageworker, of the business J l man, of the property owner. I! No matter what a man's occu- pation or social position, no matter*, wh^t his creed, his col- or or thifr section '5V the country from which he comes, if he is an honest, hardworking man who tries to do his duty toward his neighbor and toward the I! country he can rest assured that he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of represent- atives and the most fearless of champions. Mr. Taft stands against all privilege, and he stands pre- eminently for the broad prin- ciples of American citizenship which lie at the foundation of our national well being. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. I! served for diplomats and other dis tinguished visitors. Mrs. Longworth started a whirl of applause when t.lie speaker referred to "the matchless sec retary of state, IOliliii Boot.” Another burst of applause followed Senator Bui'rows’ declaration that ulti mately the American ttug would go down over the Philippines, but would give place to no other except that of an independent Philippine republic. A further outburst greeted the decla ration that the speaker hud “no sym pathy wllh any movement that would restrict the constitutional power of the courts,” and when Mr. Burrows in terpolated in his written speech the words, “The courts are the conserva tors of government; if constitutional government and civil liberty are ever to be placed in jeopardy and peril they will take their final stand in the im pregnable fortress of the supreme judiciary,” the approval of the dele gates, especially from New York, Penn sylvania and Massachusetts, found en thusiastic expression; the first out break of handclapping being followed by prolonged cheers. On being asked after he had concluded his speech if he intended his interpolation as an at tack on the proposed anti-injunction plank Mr. Burrows replied, “It was not an attack, but merely as strong a state ment as I could make against It.” "Anti-injunction” Plank. Routine business of organization fol lowed. The main thing of interest in connection with the convention’s first day was the struggle of the committee on resolutions, (be duty of which was to present a platform over the anti injunction plank. Three drafts of a plank on the injunction issue were pro mised to the committee. The first con sidered was from the tentative plat form prepared by Wade H. Ellis, at torney general of Ohio, under the guid liice of President Roosevelt and Secre tary Taft; the second was tile plank demanded by Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, while the third was the plank dually agreed on by the committee. The chief difference between the tentative plank and the one adopted Is thut the former called for amendments to the present law to provide for ■proper consideration” of applications for restraining orders, while the iat-1 ter is a tieelaratiou of belief that un-! less there is immediate danger of in jury to life or property a court should not issue a temporary order except FOR PRESIDENT I James S. Sherman For l Vice President. 1 after the defendant has had a chance to oppose the motion. The tentative plank read: We declare for such amendments of the statutes of procedure In the federal I courts with respect to the use of the I writ of injunction as will, on the one I hand, prevent the summary Issue of such I orders without proper consideration and, I on the other, will preserve undiminished the power of the courts to enforce their process, to the end that justice may be done at all times and to all parties. The plank requested by Mr. Gomperi was worded as follows: We pledge ourselves to the enactment of a law to prohibit the Issuance of. in junctions in cases arising out of labor disputes when such Injunctions would not apply when no labor disputes ex isted and that in no case shall an injunc tion be Issued when there exists a rem edy by the ordinary process of law, and which act shall provide that In the pro cedure for the punishment of contempt of court the party cited for contempt shall, when such contempt was not com mitted In the presence of the court, be entitled to a trial by jury. The plank finally accepted and made a part of the platform reads: The Republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, state and federal, and will ever insist that their powers to enforce their processes and to protect life, liberty and property shall be preserved Inviolate. We believe, however, that the rule of pro cedure in the federal courts with respect to the writ of injunction should bd more accurately defined by statute and that no injunction or temporary restraining order should be issued without notice except Irreparable injury would result from de lay, In which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted. Opposition to the plank at first pro posed was started by a memorial to the convention signed by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university and several other distin guished citizens of New York, urging that the platform contain nothing which could he construed as an at tempt to weaken the federal courts. This matter immediately became the main Issue in the resolutions commit tee. President Koosevelt and Secre tary Taft, the prospective nominee, eaclt took a hand. A telegram from Mr. Taft was read to the committee In executive session as follows: I am heartily and earnestly In favor of the adoption of the judicial procedure plank. I am the last man who would seek to impair the power of the courts. I would rather cut olf my hand than do so. But this proposed statute will not do so; neither will it satisfy the extreme la bor agitator, but it Is right. It will make obligatory that which is right, if we an-right we can jnake a» f llgot. Mr. Roosevelt' and I are agreed on the absolute Justice of this plarik, and I hope It will be adjusted. j Every member of the subcommittee on resolutions appointed to adjust this ticklish plank received from Mr. Taft a personal telegram urging the adop tion of an emphatic anti-injunction ex pression ns essential to Uepubliean success at the polls next November. The plank as finally adopted, though denounced by some ns a “straddle," received the approval of the president and secretary of war. “Four, Four, Four Years More!” Wednesday was “Itoosevelt day” In the convention. It was in the midst of Senator Lodge's ringing speech as per manent chairman that the outburst took place. The senator had to wait forty-six minutes, juicing the platform floor, before be could proceed with his i address. The unofficial part of the convention —the Republican. pew holders, the “plain people” in the galleries, In the rear of the convention hall and In the out of the way places where the vast audience of 10,000 was packed away— j paid Its own tribute In its own way, had its own stampede and shouted it self hoarse for forty-six minutes with j the slogan, “Four, four, four years more!” But the demonstration, prolonged and enthusiastic as it was. gave no sign of any movement in the convention to nominate Roosevelt. It was the tribute of the throng to the president’s popu larity and the emphatic answer to the vicious campaign waged against him by selfish interests. Delegates, alter nates and spectators joined heartily in the cheers, which broke in wave after wave over the assemblage, but the pur pose to respect his wlslies so emphatic ally stated by Senator Dodge was in no respect disturbed. Various nntional committeemen sit ting near the speakers' platform prof fered kind advice as to how they would cairn the galleries if they had the gavel. The senator shrugged his shoulders, looked at them pityingly mml took an other stroll up nnd down. He caught sight of Mrs. T/Ongwortli forty feet away on a raised platform, and, smil ing over the unexampled tribute to her father, gallantly threw her a kiss. The salute wns returned, and the unterri fled and nnexliausted in the galleries, just to show that they liked that sort of thing, cut loose with redoubled vigor. The band, the willing band, came to the fore with “The Star Spangled Ban ner,” hoping it would soothe some of the patriotic shooters in the galleries. It did nothing of the sort. They “let out some more links.” “Four, four, 1 four years more!” was the answer to the chairman whenever he raised his band. Enter the Teddy Bear. Then came the Teddy tear. Just who It was that wns inspired to lug one of those large sized playthings on to the stage is not recorded as yet by the faithful historian, but there be was (let it be remembered that It was just 2:30 o’clock on the afternoon of June 17), raised aloft, his bearship folded down In front, like a jackknife without, r 4,'' h gprtag. That didn’t matter. Tfce Republican Indians liked It that way. Then Mr. Taddy Bear was toaaed through space Into the middle of the Iowa delegation. The Intrusion of bruin was apparently resented, and In efforts to keep him moving he was swiftly hurled Into the midst of the Californians and tossed along the row where the Oklahoma patriots sat, with Bird Met! litre, national commlt teernan, in ooniinuiul. By tills time the convention was on the verge of a good natural Hot. Mr. McGuire suw that If the bear went the rounds the police would be needed. He showed rare dis cretion and did credit to the new state by sitting down hard on the bear and (ightiug off those who tried to get It away. "It was not out of disrespect to the president, but because I was afraid of a riot." said Mr. McGuire. When the crowd Anally exhausted It self, Chairman Lodge turned Ice water on the “stampede" by saying: "That man Is no friend to President Roosevelt and does not cherish his name and fame who now, from any motive, seeks to urge him as a candi date for the great office which he has finally declined. The president has refused what his countrymen would gladly have given him. He says what he means, and he means what be says.” “So do we!” yelled an unreconciled shooter from the gallery. “And his party,” continued the chair man, “and his country will respect his wished ns they honor his high charac ter and great public service.” Lodg*'* Tribute to Roosevelt. Immediately the “third term bogy” vanished utterly and forever. Chair man Lodge paid this tribute to Presi dent Roosevelt before the conclusion of his speech: The president, who has led his party and the people in this great work, re tires by his own determination from his high office on the 4th of March next. His j refusal of a renomination, dictated by the I loftiest motives and by a noble loyalty to American traditions, is final and lrrevo- j cable. Any one who attempts to use his name as a candidate for the presidency j impugns both his sincerity and his good j faith, two of the president’s greatest and most conspicuous qualities, upon which no shadow has ever been cast. That PERMANENT CHAIRMAN HENRY CABOT LODGE. man is no friend of Theodore Roosevelt 1 and does not cherish his name and fame who now from any motive seeks to urge him as a candidate for the great office which he has finally declined. The pres ident has refused what his countrymen would gladly have given him. He says what he means and means what he says, and his party and his country will re spect his wishes as they honor his high character and great public service. But, although the president retires, he leaves his policies behind him. To those policies the Republican party stands I pledged. We must carry out as we have I begun, regardless alike of the radicals of reaction and the radicals of revolution. We must hold fast to that which Is good while we make the advances which the times demand. The convention then got down to j actual business. One of the most 1m- portant acts of the day, and one hav ing great significance, was the adop tion of the report of the committee on credentials, seating the Taft delega tions practically in toto. If there bad been any lingering doubt of the Taft strength il disappeared before this de risive action, which In effect placed upward of TOO delegates In the Taft rolumu. Next in Importance and most remarkable was the (Inal acceptance uf this result by the allies without the formality of a dissenting minority re port and without currying the question to the Hour of the convention for the open fight which had been long threat ened. Instead of this, all further op position seemed to crumble. Those who had promised trouble quietly ac cepted the Inevitable, and thus tbe path was cleared for the fulfillment of plans already well matured for tbe nomination of the head of the ticket. Nomination of Taft. The third day of the convention was •big Thursday’' for "Big Bill” Taft, for Hie session closed with his trium phant nomination for the presidency an the tirst ballot, the vote being mude unanimous. Secretary Taft’s victory was foreseen, of course, many weeks ngo. Two months ago his political manager, Frank H. Hitchcock, predict ed that Taft would receive more than 700 votes on the Urst ballot. Hitch cock hit it exactly, for Taft got 702 votes. In all 979 votes were cast, one delegate being absent. “Favorite sons” of half a dozen other states received tne non-Taft votes merely out of com pliment. Theodore Itooseveit got three votes from Pennsylvania, though his nayie was not placed before the con ve tion. he others nominated and the num ber of ballots cast were: Senator Phi lander C.

Copyright, 1908, by Associated Lit- erary Press. Jack Morewood stood upon the piazza tapping the floor with the tip of her daintily booted foot and slap ping at her habit skirt with a silver mounted crop. It .was a perfect day for a ride. The sun kissed the peaks of the low chain of hills to the west, and In between was the bright green of early summer. Nature was in her kindliest mood, but Jacqueline did not share It The groom was slow about bringing her mount around, and while she wait ed a doze uncouples had cantered paW, waving their hands gayly to Jack. But no cavalier waited to assist her, and no smart cob whinnied Impatient ly over the delay in the appearance of her own horse. Presently the groom would lead her horse to the block, he would assist her in the saddle with the perfunctory care of a hireling, and she would go canter ing off alone to her ride. It was this fact and not the slow ness of the stable hands that brought the frown to Jacqueline's face. For the first time In her life she was tired of being the boy of the family. When stalwart John Morewood had leaned over the cradle to look down Into the blinking eyes of his fireborn the baby had seized the proffered fin ger In sturdy clasp and her father had chuckled with delight. “She’s shaking hands like the little gentleman she is,” he declared. Then and there he had named her Jacque line that be might call her Jack. He seemed to find comfort for his dis appointment In her sex by making his little daughter ns boyish as possible. In her youth, thanks to hls training, she had been given over to tomboy tricks. When she was thirteen and a baby brother came to share her reign she regarded the newcomer’s appear ance with contempt. “I’m the best boy,” she declared with emphasis, and she took pride In her father's assurance that she was Indeed. Jimmie became his mother’s pet, while Jack still chummed with her father, and as the boy grew up delicate and pallid Jack seemed to gain mannishness by contrast She was the golf champion of the country club, not In the ladies’ class, but by virtue of having beaten all the men. She could ride wherever a man went, could shoot straight and handle a cue. She was voted a “good fellow,” but now, on the eve of her twenty-sec ond birthday, Jack turned rebellious. Her thoughts were int'errupted by the appearance of the groom with her horse, and presently she was cantering down the drive to the highway. Once on the road she eased the horse into a trot. The cliff road was accounted one of the most beautiful in the state, but Jack gave no heed to the beauty of the scene. K/}r Beet Imported r TEAS COFFEES At HALF Price irhp tfupulylniK of Fortner*.

Boi2W, flflClinrch Wt., ftcw lorK_ Phil Min turn had cantered past with Boss Farley just l>efore she had start ed out, and his careless greeting had wounded her. She had been good chums With Fhll ever since she was a little girl, and he had always given her the' same careless greeting of fellowship, but this morning it had jarred. She knew that he did not really care for Bess. He had said so more than once, but Mrs. Farley would not let Bess ride unless there was some one with her who could keep a watchful eye on her mount, so Phil, being a neighbor, had come to the girl’s relief. As with Phil, so It was with the other men. They were all good chums, but they were only chums. Jack could not recall a tender speech ever made to her, and, carrying her intro spection further, she did not blame the boys for regarding her ns one of them selves. Even In the evening her thick dark hair was severely done and her dress wns in keeping. It came upon her with all the sud denness of a revelation that she had missed the pretty speeches which she had pretended to despise and that her heart clamored for the rights of young womanhood. With lips that pressed hard together she turned her horse's head toward home. She scarcely recognized the peo ple she passed, and It was not until she had almost reached the house that her attention was attracted. She heard her brother’s voice raised in appeal, and through sheer force of habit she prepared to come to his rescue. The boy never had been permitted to light his own battles, nnd in younger days Jack had sometimes come to his assistance with her own sturdy fists. Now she reined in her horse and drew near the hedge which separated her from the little boys. There were a doze,n of them, sturdy, tanned youngsters with dirt on clothes and countenances, and in their midst stood Jimmy, immaculate in blue vel vet, with long golden curls. “It’s not my fault,” he said In ag grieved tones. “1’m not old enough to buy my own clothes yet. You fellows might let me play with you.” “G’wan!” was the unfeeling response. “We don’t play with girls.” “I’m not a girl." assorted Jimmie. “I tell you It’s not my fault.” “Boys don’t wear velvet dresses,” re minded his tormentor. “Come on, fel lers. Lady Jane’s going to cry." With a burst of derislvh laughter the boys rnn off. For a moment Jimmie made ns though to follow them, but he knew as well as the others that pur *uit was impossible. Jimmie had never had a chance to fkMghen his legs in exercise. With quivering lip the boy turned toward the house, and Jack urged her horse Closer to the hedge. “Jimmie,” she called warningly, “if you Jure to cry t'slmlt'spahlC you. Ob get your pony and come back to me.” “What are you going to do?” demand ed Jimmie. “Never mind,” she said. “You do what I tell you. Do you want really and truly to be a boy?” “Do I?” repeated Jimmie, sniffing at the folly of the question. “I ain’t either a boy or a girl.” “Neither am I,” said Jack. “Hurry up, dear.” She waited beside the road until her brother joined her on his pony, and to gether they headed for the town. It was long after luncheon hour before the two returned, and Mrs. Morewood was pacing the veranda In an agony of apprehension. She had no fears for Jack, but she lamented that at times Jimmie’s pony had shown signs of wildness, and the two grooms were already scouring the country, while the mother was promis ing herself that the boy should be at tended on future rides. Mr. Morewood said nothing, but there was a white line about his lips where they were pressed firmly togeth er to hold back the words of apprehen sion. He was afraid for Jacqueline, and when the children were seen turning into the drive, followed by a groom on whose usually impassive face there ap peared a broad grin, Morewood gave a sigh of relief. Mrs. Morewood shrieked 'with horror when they came closer and she was able to see that Jimmie’s hair had been cropped close to his head, while the velvet suit had been replaced by a stout corduroy. But as they slipped to the ground Jack took the boy’s hand and led him to his father. “Dad,” she said simply, “here is your son. I am your daughter. It has been all wrong until now. I’ve never had a sweetheart, and Jimmie’s never had a fight We've come to the conclusion that we have both been cheated out of what belongs to us, and we’ve changed places.” She stooped to kiss her father’s bearded face and whispered, “And your daughter loves you more than ever, dad.” Morewood clasped her to his heart, for he understood the trans formation even while his wife be wailed her darling’s lost curls. That evening at the Country club Jacqueline was the sensation of the dance as she entered with her hair loosely waved instead of tightly knot ted. In her dress, too, there was a sub tle suggestion of femininity' which caused the men to gasp and tell them selves that they had never before real ized what a stunning girl Jacqueline Morewood was. “You are radiant tonight,” murmured MInturn as he held out his hand for her dance programme. "I’m tired of being father's boy,” she explained. “I’ve changed places With Jimmie,” and as Mlntnrn calmly ap propriated three waltzes and returned the programme she read in his eyes approval of the chauge.

TAFT NOMINATED. York, 67; Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois. 58; Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, 40; Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, /*-N JAMES S. SHE KM AN. 25; Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, 16. Mr. Taft was nominated by Repre sentative Theodore E. Burton of Cleve land, and the nomination was seconded by George A. Kniglit of California. The motion to make the nomination unanimous was made by General Stew art L. Woodford of New York, man ager of the Hughes boom. Taft's Fitness For Presidency. In the course of his speech placing Taft in nomination Congressman Bur ton said: Again Ohio presents a candidate to the Republican national convention. In sev en stubbornly contested presidential cam paigns sons of her sacred soil have led the embattled Republican hosts to vic tory. The Buckeye State has assuredly contributed her share of statesmen and generals for the upbuilding of the nation. But that of which we are prouder still is her stalwart citizenship, the mightiest bulwark of the republic in every com monwealth, made up of America’s free yeomen, ever ready to respond to the tocsin of alarm in days of peril or to crush corruption whenever it raises its menacing head. Prom this citizenship Ohio in the supreme emergency of the civil war sent forth more than 200,000 sol diers for our country’s defense, a formi dable array easily surpassing in numbers the world conquering legions of imperial Caesar and even larger than any army ever mustered by Britain for the tented field. But transcendent above all is the fact that Ohio is one of a matchless un ion of states linked together in everlast ing bonds of amity and constituting an empire wonderful in power and almost immeasurable in extent. Each sovereign state alone would occupy but a subordi nate place in the great current of the world’s events, but when represented, by one of forty-six bright stars on a field of stainless blue every one forms part of an emblem of union and of strength more beautiful far than the most, brilliarkcon# j-ttftllstflon in the *^LVgB The most perplexing questions of fWlffM arise from the bountiful development oW our material wealth. Such a development cannot occur without the creation of in equalities and dangers to the social fabric. 1 most strenuously deny that the Amer ican business man or the American citi zen cherishes lower standards than the citizens of any other country. The Amer ican people are by no means depraved. But by reason of their busy absorption in varied pursuits and of the glamour which attends success in great undertakings questionable methods have been able to engraft themselves upon the business of the country. Rich rewards have too fre quently been gained by some who are none too scrupulous. Monopoly, dishon esty and fraud have assumed a promi nence which calls for the earnest atten tion and condemnation of every man who truly loves the republic. Against all these abuses and in the work for restoring old ideals of honesty and equality, as well as for higher standards of civic duty, one man has stood pre-emi nent, and that man is Theodore Roose velt. Against corruption in every form he has set his face with grim determina tion, prompt and fearless in action and with that intelligent leadership which has assured the establishment of a better era in which the strong and the weak alike must submit themselves to the impartial execution of the law. There was need of a strong, courageous spirit to restrain those destructive forces which have as serted themselves In this time of growth and plenty. The story of his achievements will piake up one of-the brightest pages in the history of this or any age and will prove that todayf as in any critical hour of social unrest or of danger, the man will appear who can grapple with the emer gency. WHO so ni 10 lane up uie ihsrs which this wondrous generation demands should be wisely and impartially performed as his great war secretary? Since the day when in Benjamin Harrison’s administra tion these two first met—the one as so licitor general, the other as a member of the civil service commission—they have been bound together by like ideals and aims, by close ties of friendship and by the exchange of mutual counsel, each with his own individuality and character istics keeping constantly in view the en nobling vision of a better and a greater America. They have not been satisfied that -the temple of prosperity should be decked alone by the jewels of the fortu nate and the opulent, but have insisted that it should still more abound in tro phies which commemorate the enforce ment of even handed justice and the maintenance of that equal opportunity which spreads hope and blessing even to the humblest home.. Since the day when, less than thirty years of age, Mr. Taft denounced with burning words a member of his profession who had been guilty of flagrantly vicious practices and had de moralized the community he has ever been associated with the cause of true reform—with that reform which will not content itself with academic dissertation or hollow words. He has been imbued with the spirit of action. His advocacy of sounder conditions has never arisen from a desire for the exploitation of him self. It has always been based upon un swerving integrity and the courage to speak the truth us he understands it on all occasions, no matter how influential or powerful the evils which he may at tack. No one has ever yet assumed the presi dential chair who had received a more ideal preparation for the duties of that great office. As judge in state and federal courts, as solicitor general, as governor of I the Philippines, as secretary of war, which has included the work of colonial secre tary and director of national public works, he has .received his training and has al ways shown himself master of the situa tion and competent to make more honor able and beloved the American name There have been no years of inaction in j his career. He has been continuously en gaged in weighty tasks, and each succes sive service has been characterised by an Increasing Influence upon mosrt vital ques tions. In our domestic affairs, in whatever po sition he has held, he has displayed the rare union of a judicial temperament with an unsurpassed gift for administrative management. More than any other of our public men ho has had to do with our outlying de pendencies and colonial relations. It was he who took in charge the prosecution of that colossal enterprise on the isthmus, the canal uniting the lesser and the great er oceans, and under his directing hand the completion of this most stupendous of public works is no longer a vague and distant hope, but an imminent reality. With his ever ready skill as a pacificator he restored tranquillity in the fertile is land of Cuba, so often distracted by civil strife. In the faroff Philippines, under a blazing tropical sky, he found a people of many races and tribes, degraded by cen turies of misrule and oppression, and there, too, he not only established the rule of law and local control In place of con fusion and bloody strife, but showed the way to self government and a new recog nition of the rights of man. Secretary Taft has exceptional famil iarity with conditions In the distant ori ent—In Japan, in China. We may rest assured that our traditional friendship with Japan will continue. Moreover, the future promises that the slumbering mil lions of China will awake from the leth argy of ages, and she then will realize that the morning dawn of fresher life and wider outlook comes to her across the broad Pacific from free America, her truest friend and helper. We covet no portion of her territory. We desire from her, as from all nations, increased good will and that mutual respect^which knows neither bluster nor cringing on either side. Thus in this new era of larger re lations Secretary Taft, with his compre hension of national and international sub I jects, would furnish a certainty of peace and sustained prestige. Under him at home and everywhere this mighty people would have ar assured confidence In the secure development and progress of the country and would rest safe in the reli ance that a chief executive was at the helm who in peace or in war would guide the destinies of the nation with a strong hand and with a gentle, patriotic heart. And so today in the presence of more than 10,000 and with the inspiring thought of the well nigh 10,000 times 10,000 who dwell within our borders I nominate for the presidency that perfect type of Amer ican manhood, that peerless representa tive of the noblest ideals in our national life, William H. Taft of Ohio. Demonstration For "Big Bill.” When Representative Burton ended his eloquent speech nominating the secretary of war with the name of Ohio's favorite son there occurred the real demonstration of the day. When the name of Ohio was reached In the roll call of the states the delegates started a cheer which lasted for two minutes, but they desisted to listen to the forceful address of the distinguish ed Ohioan. As he finished the Ohio delegation gave a cheer which started the ball rolling, and one delegation after another joined in. Texas led the shouting and displayed a banner con sisting of a huge pair of trousers la beled “As Pants the Hart For Cooling Streams, So Texas Pants For Taft.” The Taft banner of the Blaine club was produced, the Philippine dele gates raised a little girl to their shoul dersand cheered like mad, and finally r*“Jl,j^AAReJegntlon started ajlmorcb garound,” headed by ex-Governor Her rick, Charles P. Taft, half brother of (the candidate, and Governor Harris. The galleries caught from the Ohio ans the refrain, “Taft, Taft, Big Bill Taft,” and marked time with it as the march proceeded, while other delega tions joined in. Mr. Burton, who had just received a large bouquet of pink peonies from Mrs. Henry W. Taft and Miss Louise Taft, niece of the nominee for presidents waved it aloft as he marched, while Miss Taft, an excep tionally handsome young woman, clad in white, with a large red hat, was a conspicuous figure In a side gallery, where she waved a large silk flag In unison with the refrain. Mrs. Long worth and her aunt, Mrs. Robinson, stood on their chairs, just above the press section, and waved blue banners at the cheering crowd. It was not until the delegates had ex hausted their energy by twenty-six minutes of continued -cheering that Chairman Lodge succeeded in restoring comparative order, a task in which he was materially assisted by the extraor dinarily powerful voice of George A. Knight of California, who had taken the platform to second the nomination of Mr. Taft and who spoke with force and eloquence. Vice r resilient rauunuhs was |jiaixu in nomination for the presidency by Governor Httniy of Indiana and sec onded by Mayor Bookwalter of In dianapolis. The other nominating and seconding speeches were made as fol-1 lows; For Speaker Cannon, Represent ative IJoutell of Illinois and Represent atlve .1. W. Fordney of Michigan; foi Governor Hughes, General Stewart L. Woodford of New York and H. T. Adams of Virginia; for Senator Fora ker, C. B. McCoy of Coshocton. O., and W. O. Emery of Macon, Ga., the latter a negro; for Senator La Follette. Hen ry F. Coehems of Milwaukee and C. A. A. McGee of Wisconsin; for Senatoi Knox, Lieutenant Governor John T. Murphy of Pennsylvania and James Scarlet of Danville, Pa. Main Points In Platform. The adoption of the Republican plat form for the campaign of 1908, which preceded the nominating speeches, was by a viva voce vote. The main points in the platform may be condensed thus; Unqualified Indorsement of the policies advocated by President Roosevelt. Indorsement of the emergency currency legislation. Unequivocal declaration for a revision of the tariff by a special session of oon gress following the inauguration of the next prcsident Development of a permanent currency »y stem.

The Day on Which Two of America’* Greatest Patriots Died. The Fourth of July, 1826, was the death day of two of the republic's greatest men. John Adams and Thom as Jefferson. On July 4, 1831, five years later, James Monroe breathed his last. Sixty years later, on July 4 1891, Hannibal Hamlin died. The death of both Adams and Jef ferson on the day accepted as the na tion’s birthday was a strange coinci dence. The day was one neither for got, for both were among the signers of the immortal document which offi cially first saw the light just fifty years before their death, both remem bered the date, and each was cognizant of the other’s mortal illness. Adams was past ninety. Jefferson was about seven years younger. Yet he had lived thirteen years more than the threescore and ten years allotted by holy writ. At midnight eighty years ago, when Independence day was just being ushered in, Jefferson, even then dying, but with memory not yet alto gether impaired, muttered, “This is the Fourth of July." In the morning Ad ams, the same thought apparently run ning through his mind, roused himself to ask, “Does Jefferson still live?” Adams died a little after midday, Jef ferson a few hours later. IRREVERENT INSECTS.

How Fli*s Interfered With the Signing of the Declaration. Congress on July 19, 1776, ordered the Declaration passed on the Fourth, fairly engrossed on parchment, with the title and style of "The unanimous Declaration of the 13 United States of j America, and that the same, when en- grossed, Ixc signed by every member It was m^^Uyt^^nAugus^J e f ^'^atenhig was hastened by swarms of flies that came into the hall through the open windows of the statehouse from a livery stable near by. The day’s business had been arduous. It was hot and sticky, and the flies as saulted the silk stockinged legs of the honorable members with vigor and real Tory vindictiveness. With handker chiefs and all available papers the fa thers of liberty lashed the flies, but with no avail. The onslaught became unendurable, and the members, capitu lating, made haste to sign and bring the momentous business to a close. Of the fifty-six signatures not all were at tached even at this date.—Washington ~y A Fourth of July Game. The new Fourth of July game of "abbreviated states” calls forth lively competition. A prize is given for the first correct list of the following ques tions: What state reminds you of a great rainfall? Ark. What state can be often multiplied? Tenn, What state commences the domestic week? Wash. What state is mightier than the sword? Penn. What state is always sure of itself? Kan. What state has a medical degree? Md. What state is a chronic Invalid? HI. What state Is a maiden? Miss. .What state suggests a sheltered Women Who Wear Well. It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life will make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage. Many neglect to deal with tile un pleasaut drains which are often con sequent on marriage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its fresh ness and the form of its fairness. As snrely as the general health suffers when there is derangement of the health of the delicate womanly organs so snrely when these organs are estab lished in health the face and form at once witness to the fact in renewed comeliness. Half a milion women and more have found health and happi ness in the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favor ite Prescription. It makes weak wo men strong and sick women well. In gredients on label. TAFT IS NAMED IN CHICAGO Republican Conven tion’s Choice. WINS BY BIG MAJORITY Seven Hundred Delegates Vote For Ohioan. SHERMAN IN SECOND PLACE. _ New York Congressman Named For Vice President. Chicago, June 24—With the usual scenes of enthusiasm and noise, the Republican national convention met in the Coliseum here for the purpose of affirming the party principles in a plat form sustaining the party’s candidate for president. Amid scenes of great enthusiasm Secretary Taft was nominated for the presidency, receiving the votes of 702 of the 980 delegates to the convention. The convention’s choice for the sec ond place on the ticket was Repre sentative James S. Sherman of Utica, N. Y., who received 810 votes. Vice President Fairbanks, whQ had declared repeatedly that he did not desire re nomination, received one vote. The other candidates and their votes were as follows: Governor Sheldon of Nebraska, 10 votes; Governor Guild of Massachu setts, 75 votes; former Governor Mur phy of New Jersey, 77 votes. The nomination of Mr. Sherman, like that of Mr. Taft, was hailed with en thusiasm by the delegates. After the perfecting of minor details of the con vention’s work the assemblage ad journed. The convention was formally opened by National Chairman Harry S. New, who presented as tlie national commit m -\y BY *LTA e«t-LC 3Nir», WILLIAM H. TAFT, tee’s choice for temporary chairman Senator Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan. In his address Chairman Burrows reviewed the work of the present administration in many fields of endeavor, declaring that “the Re publican party confidently submits its record Jo the approving judgment of the American people and, upon its re newed declaration of faith, invokes continuance of public favor.” His speech was well received, and the con vention then turned its attention to business. Following the appointment of tem porary officers, who were later made permanent, with the exception of the chairman, and the appointment of com mittees, the convention adjourned un til such time as the committees should be able to report. When the delegates reassembled it was under the perma nent chairmanship of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. The work of the various committees of the convention, save that on resolu tions, which had the platform in charge, required but little time. The credentials committee’s report seating the Taft delegates from disputed states and districts went through without a hitch. The representatives of the al lies, as the candidates other than Taft are called, recognized the futility of their announced appeal to the conven tion and allowed the Taft men to be seated without a fight on the floor of the convention. Senator Lodge’s address, which ex tolled the record of his party, especial ly during the present administration, had a welcome touch of campaign at mosphere about it, and the cheers were not long in breaking forth. His contrast between the Republican and Democratic parties particularly pleas ed the delegates. He declared aajld laughter aud cheers that the great ob ject of the Democrats was to keep their past a dark history, while the Republicans were anxious to publish theirs to the world. “If we refer to their past,” he de- j dared, "they accuse us of calumny.S i Turning from, his taunting of the Democrats, Senator I-odge seriously discussed the record of achievements under Republican administrations of recent years, aud it was in this con nection that he first mentioned the president—not by name, but by office. “The president has fearlessly in forced the laws as he found them upon the statute books.” Cheers came from many quarters of the hall, but their duration was com paratively brief, and Senator Lodge j hastened to resume. In a few min- utes, however, he came again to the president with the declaration that in i lu/orcing the law the bayonets of duty must hurt somebody. “And the result,” he went on, “is j the best abused and most popular man j in the United States today.” This "was the long awaited signal. Instantly a shout broke from the gal- 1 lerles ami was echoed back from the floor, at first only a tempest of detach ed yells and cat calls and shouts of j “Teddy,” but gradually pthering j force and volume until it swelled to a whirlwind of sound aud motion as del egates and spectators rose en masse, mounting chairs, waving banners, hats, handkerchiefs, flags, newspapers, any thing which could be seized upon to add turbulence to the scene. Amid the tumult the band struck up, but the crash of the brasses and drums was completely lost in the babel of sound which welled up from 14,000 throats. The tumult continued forty-five min utes. Taft Named on First Ballot. Secretary Taft was named on the first ballot in the Coliseum in a great wave of enthusiasm with more than 200 votes to spare. Although some of tue great northern strongholds of the party went on record against the Ohioan, the power and popularity of the presiden tial support had flattened out all the opposition. Pennsylvania gave Senator Knox second place, with 68 votes; Governor Hughes was third, with 67 votes from New York and 2 from Vir ginia; Speaker Cannon ran fourth, with 58 votes from Illinois, New York and other scattered sections, and Fairbanks had 40 supporters. La Follette, though lie had received warm and even riot ous tribute of the gallery, got nothing but the loyal 25 of his own Badger State. Koraker got 16, and 3 votes were cast for President Roosevelt by delegates from Pennsylvania who re fused to be driven off by the stigma that no friend of his would propose his nomination. Immediately on the announcement of the vote the beaten opponents of the secretary of war hastened to make the party's action a chorus of approval. General Woodford, who in nominating the governor of New York had made what many called the best speech of the exciting day, was quickly on Ills feet to propose that the choice of the convention lie iiTiulc’unanimoiis. '•HIP lowed other supporters of favoijte sons, even Wisconsin replying to the majority’s fling at the La Follette men as Socialists by seconding the mo tion. From Indiana no voice was rais ed by the Fairbanks men in affirma tion, although the record shows that the nomination was made unanimous. The ballot was taken to nominate a candidate for president while the con vention was cheering frantically for a man whose name had not been pre sented to the convention. The votes were being counted for Taft while the people were shouting for Roosevelt. The delegates, however, seemed to cast their votes uninfluenced by the .clamor of the crowd. More than this, the first states on tlie.ea!l, Alabama and Arkan sas, which had been relied upon by a few Roosevelt men to start the stam pede for the president, held by their instructions while the clamor raged all about them. Favorite Sons Named. The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheater as the presidential candidate was named was one truly stirring. In front, to the right and left, below and above, the billowing sea of humanity, restless after hours of wait ing and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a fever of expectancy for the culminating vote. The favorite pons of other states had been named save Knox and La Follette, and now on the roll call came Ohio. As the Buckeye State was reached the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. Burton, with studeut-like face and severe black clerical garb, advanced to the platform to nominate Ohio’s candidate. He spoke fervently with the singing voice of an evangelist which went ringing through the great building. The close of his speech of nomination was the signal for loosing the long pent up feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other Taft states following, while the convention hosts in gallery and on floor broke into mad demon stration. The naming of the other candidates, notably Seniitor La Follette of Wis consin, who seemed to have the gal leries entirely with him, was the sig nal for wild outbursts of cheering an1 calls. For many minutes it was Im possible for Chairman Lodge to sc cure sufficient order to make the t.:l; lug of a vote practicable. When it was finally secured and the result an nounced Secretary Taft's name cheered again and again. The mu’, of the vote unanimous seemed to l< i c renewed vigor to the lungs of t! seemingly worn out delegates. The platform as reported by thccon mittee on resolutions was adopted h. the convention. It contained a modi fied anti-injunction plank, identical with the form favored by Secretary Taft The La Follette platform, In eUulln* publicity ofi campaign contri butloiS, physical valuation of railroads and election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, was re- (ected by separate votes on the floor t of the convention. The Injunction plank as finally de cided upon Is as follows: “The Republican party will uphold at all times the authority and Integ rity of the courts, Rtate and federal, and will ever Insist that their powers to enforce their processes and to pro tect life, liberty and property shall be preserved Inviolate. We believe, how ever, that the rule of procedure In the federal courts with respect to the writ of Injunction should tie more accu rately defined by statute and that no Injunction or temporary restraining or der should be issued without notice, except irreparable Injury would result from delay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted.’’ It whs not until four hours had been spent over the platform that the con vention was ready to proceed with the nominating speeches for president.

JAMES S. SHERMAN. First came the nomination of Cannon by Representative Boutell of Illinois, seconded by Representative Fordney of Michigan, which awakened a wel coming yell for the “grand old man" of Illinois. The nominating speech for Fairbanks by Governor llanly of In diana was made amid intense confu sion and constant interruption. Smart ing under these discourtesies toward the governor, Mayor Bookwalter of In dianapolis began his speech seconding the nomination of Fairbanks with an allusion to the “steam roller” which was crushing out all opposition. The name of Senator Foraker was placed* in nomination by Judge C. B. McCoy of Ohio and seconded by the eloquent negro delegate from Georgia, W. O. Emery, the latter winning a true ova tion os lie closed the splendid tribute to Foraker in the name of 2,000,000 black voters. The call of Pennsylva nia brought the Keystone delegation to their f<^in a wild demonstration for little later Wisconsin fol enthusiastic tribute to Wisconsin's candidate, Senator La Fol lette. When New York was reached on the roll call, General Stewart L. Woodford arose and placed Governor Charles E. Hughes of New York in nomination. "This is going to be a hard fight,” said General Woodford, "and any one who tells you it is to be a walkover makes a serious mistake.” He said that one tenth of the vote of New York is un attached to any party and thut the state is a doubtful one politically. “Whether we win or lose in New York depends largely upon what we do here,” he said. “I do believe that I know New York, and there are just two Republicans who can carry the state without question. One is in the White House at Washington and the other in tb«* statehouse at Albany.” Candidate Sherman III. Cleveland, O., June 24.—Instead of being the central figure and the object of congratulations by thousands of his admiring fellow citizens in his home city of Utica, N. Y., where a tremen dous ovation had been planned for his homecoming, Janies Schoolcraft Sher man, the Republican vice presidential nominee, is lying dangerously 111 in Lakeside hospital here. He is suffer ing from gall stones, and while the of ficial bulletins declare that he Is hold ing his own and that an operation may not be necessary it is not concealed that his condition is grave. Roosevelt and Taft to See Race. New Haven, Conn., June 24.—Presi dent Roosevelt and the man named by the Republicans to succeed him, Wil liam H. Taft, both will witness the Yale-Harvard boat race on the Thames river at New London tomorrow. Secre tary Taft is spending the greater part of this week at New Haven attending the Yale commencement. He is the central figure of the week in the Yale city. _ Discutsing Seccond Place In Denver. Denver, June 24.—Even among the few Democrats of prominence who have eome to Denver to attend the Democratic convention which will be held in this city beginning July 7 the choice Of a candidate for vice presi dent is the leading theme, and It is al ready evident that In this respect at least the convention will be a counter part of the Republican convention at Chicago. McKinley Home to Be a Hospital. Canton, O., June 24.—It has been definitely decided that the former Mc Kinley home shall be a Catholic hospi tal. Official statement was made that Felix M. Bopp, administrator of the Cleveland diocese, has ordered the re modfcfug of the building. WOMAN’S BACKACHE 1 ■■mnhmhHHHBHMhmhI The back is the mainspring of •woman’s organism. It quickly oalls attention to trouble by aching. It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman’s feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is LYDIA E.PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Will Yotmg, of 6 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Me., says: X was troubled for a long time with dreadful backaches and a pain In my aide, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until X was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I read what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had done for others and decided to try it; after taking three bottles I can truly say that I never felt so well in my life.” Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. Lcould not sleep, and had no appetite. Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound cured me and made me feel like a new woman.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backaohe, that bear ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges tion, dizziness,or nervous prostration. Rough on the Doctor. One night as a Canadian doctor who lives in eastern Ontario was driving into a village he saw a chap, a little the worse for liquor, amusing a crowd of spectators with the antics of his trick dog. The doctor watched him awhile and said: “Sandy, how do you manage to train your dog? I can’t teach mine to do anything.” Sandy, with that simple look in his eyes, said, “Well, you see, doc, you have to know more'n the dog or you can’t learn him nothing.” An Ideal Husband.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. Principles Which Conven tion Has Approved. PARTY RECORD EXTOLLED Held Up to Country’s View as Worthy of Admiration and Continuance. Present Administration Called an Epoch In American History—Decla ration In Favor of Tariff Revision by Special Session of Congress Immedi ately After Inauguration of Incoming President. Chicago, June 24.—The platform ap proved by the Republican national convention held here is a lengthy doc ument, covering many subjects of na tional importance. One of its most im portant planks, that on injunctions, was changed after much discussion. The rest of the platform is in part as follows: Once more the Republican party, In na- j tional convention assembled, submits its cause to the people. This great historic organization, that destroyed slavery, pre served the Union, restored credit, expand ed the national domain, established a sound financial system, developed the in dustries and resources of the country, and gave to the nation her seat of honor in the councils of the world, now meets the new problems of government with the same courage and capacity with which It solved the old. In this the greatest era of American advancement the Republican party has reached its highest service under the lead ership of Theodore Roosevelt. The great accomplishments of President Roosevelt have been, first and foremost, a brave and impartial enforcement of the law; the prosecution of illegal trusts and monopolies, the exposure and punishment of evildoers in the public service, the more effective regulation of the rates and serv ice of the great transportation lines; the K>mplete overthrow of preference, rebates, and discriminations, the arbitration of la bor disputes, the amelioration of the con dition of wageworkers everywhere, the conservation of the natural resources of the country, the forward step in the im provement of the inland waterways, and always the earnest support and defense of every wholesome safeguard which has made more secure the guarantees of life, liberty, and prosperity. Roosevelt’s Place In History. These are the achievements that will make for Theodore Roosevelt his place in history. But more than all else, the great things he has done will be an inspiration to those who have yet greater things to do. We declare our unfaltering adherence to the policies thus inaugurated, and pledge their continuance under a Repub lican administration of the governm&Ht. Under the guidance of Republican prin ciples the American people have become the richest nation in the world. Our wealth today exceeds that of England and all her colonies, and that of Prance and..Qgqfngny combined. _ Nothing so' clearly demonstrates the sound basis upon which our commercial, industrial, and agricultural interests are founded,, and the necessity of promoting their continued welfare through the oper ation of Republican policies, as the re cent safe passage of the American people through a financial disturbance, which, If appearing in the midst of Democratic rule, or the menace of it, might have equaled the familiar Democratic panics of the past. Only the obstruction and filibustering c a Democratic minority in the last house of congress prevented the enactment of a number of measures of great public bene fit, the consideration of which can only be intrusted to another Republican major ity. But many wholesome and progressive laws were enacted, and we especially com mend the passage of the emergency cur rency bill, the appointment of the national monetary commission, the employers’ and government liability laws, the measures for the greater efficiency of the army and navy, the widows’ pension bill, the model child labor law for the District of Columbia, designed for emulation by the states; the new statutes for the safety of railroad engineers and firemen, and many other acts conserving the public welfare. For Revision of Tariff. The Republican party declares unequiv ocally for a revision of the tariff by a special session of congress immediately following the inauguration of the next president, and commends the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the appropriate committees of the two houses which are now investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules. In all tariff legislation the true principle of protection is best maintained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of production at homo and abroad, together with a rea sonable profit to American industries; and the benefits that follow are best secured by the establishment of maximum and minimum rates to be administered by the president under limitations fixed in the law. the maximum to be available to meet discriminations by foreign countries against American goods entering their markets and the minimum to represent the normal measure of protection at home; the aim and purpose of the Re publican policy being not only to preserve, without excessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers, and producers are entitled, but also to main tain the high standard of living of the wage earners of this country, who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective system. Between the United States and the Phil ippines we believe in a free interchange of products, with such limitation as to sugar and tobacco as will avoid injury to domes tic interests. We approve the emergency measures adopted bv the government during the re cent financial disturbance, and especially commend the passage by the last session of congress of the temporary enactment designed to protect the country from a repetition of such stringency only until there can be established a‘ permanent cur rency system that will avoid all emergen cies. The Republican party is committed to the development of such a permanent system, responding to our greater needs, and in line in all respects with the most progressive nations of the world; and the appointment of the monetary commission by the present congress, which will impar tially investigate all proposed methods, in sures the early realization of this purpose. In line with the purpose here declared to secure by every wise means greater safety and stability in the banking and currency system, we favor the establish ment of postal savings banks for the peo ple, upon principles embodied in the meas ure now pending In congress and set for a vote on Dec. 14 next. Anti-trust ari Railroad Laws. The Republican party passed the Sher man anti-trust law over Democratic op position, and enforced It after Democratic rejection. It has been a wholesome in strument for good in the hands of a wise and fearless administration. But experi ence has shown that Its effectiveness can be strengthened, and its real object better obtained, by such amendments as will give to the federal government greater super vision and control over, and secure greater publicity In the management of. that class of interstate corporations having power and opportunity to effect monopolies, and at the same time will not interfere with the operation of such associations among business men, farmers, and wage earners as result in a positive benefit to the pub lic. We approve the enactment of the rail road rate law and the vigorous enforce ment by the present administration of the statutes against rebates and discrimina tions, as the result of which the advan tages formerly possessed by the large shippers over the small shippers have sub stantially disappeared. In this connection we commend the appropriation of $350,000 by the present congress in order to enable the interstate commerce commission thor oughly to investigate and to give pub licity to the accounts of interstate rail roads. We believe, however, that the in terstate commerce law should be further amended so as to give railroads the right to make and publish traffic agreements subject to the approval of the commission, but maintaining always the principle of competition between naturally competing lines and avoiding the common control of such lines by any means whatsoever, and especially favor the enactment of such legislation as will prevent by federal re striction the future overissue of stocks and bonds by interstate carriers. Party’s Labor Record. The same wise policy which has induced the Republican party to maintain protec tion to American labor; to establish an eight hour day in the construction of all public work; to increase the list of em ployees who shall have preferred claims fv.r wages under the bankruptcy laws; to adopt an adequate child labor statute for the District of Columbia; to direct an in vestigation into the conditions of work ing women and children, and later of em ployees of telephone and telegraph com panies engaged in interstate business; to appropriate $150,000 at the recent session of congress in order to secure a thorough inquiry into the causes of catastrophes and loss of life in the mines, and to amend and strengthen the law prohibiting the importation of contract labor, w'ill be pur sued In every legitimate direction within federal authority to lighten the burdens and increase th® opportunity for happi ness and advancement of all who toil. The Republican partv recognizes the spe cial needs of wageworkers generally, for their well being means the well being of all. But more important than all other considerations is that of good citizenship, and we especially stand for the needs of every American, whatever his occupation, In his capacity as a self respecting citizen. Natural Resources and Waterways. We Indorse the movement Inaugurated by the president for the co-operative con servation of natural resources: we favor the preservation of the White mountain and Appalachian forests; we approve all measures to prevent the waste of timber, and commend the work now going on for the reclamation of arid lands. No obliga tion of the future is more insistent, and none will result in greater blessings to posterity. In line with this splendid un dertaking is the further duty, equally im perative, to enter upon a systematic im provement upon a large and comprehen sive plan, just to all portions of the coun try, of the waterways, harbors, and great lakes, whose natural adaptability to the Increasing traffic of the land is one of the greatest gifts of a benign Providence. Army and Navy. The Sixtieth congress passed many com mendable acts increasing the efficiency of the army And navy; making the militia of til*- states an Integral part of the na I tional establishment; authorizing joint I maneuvers of the army and militia; for tifying new naval bases and completing the construction of coaling stations; insti tuting a female nurse corps for naval hospitals and ships, and adding two new battleships, ten torpedo boat destroyers, three steam colliers, and eight subma rines to the strength of the navy. Al though at peace with all the world, and secure in the consciousness that the American people do not desire and will not provoke a war with any other coun try. we nevertheless declare our unalter able devotion to a policy that will keep this republic ready at all times to defend her traditional doctrines, protect her Citi zens at home and abroad, and assure her appropriate part in promoting permanent tranquillity among the nations. Another Republican policy which must be ever maintained is that of generous provision for those who have fought the country's battles and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen. We commend the increase in the widow’s pen sion made by the last congress, and de clare for a liberal administration of all pension laws, to the end that the people’s gratitude may grow deeper as the memo ries of heroic sacrifice grow more sacred with the passing years. Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippines and Panama. The American government,»in Repub lican hands, has freed Cuba, given peace and protection to Porto Rico and the Phil ippines. under our flag, and begun the construction of the Panama canal. The present conditions in Cuba vindicate the wisdom of maintaining between that re public and this imperishable bonds of mu tual interest, and the hope is now ex pressed that the Cuban people will soon again be ready to assume complete sover eignty over their land. Democratic Party Criticised. Beyond platform declarations, there are fundamental differences between the Re publican party and its chief opponent w'hich make the one worthy and the other unworthy of public trust. In principle, the difference between De mocracy ami Republicanism is that one stands for vacillation and timidity in gov ernment. the other for strength and pur pose; one stands for obstruction, the oth er for construction; one promises, the oth er performs; one- finds fault, the other finds work. 1 The present tendencies of the two par i ties are even more marked by inherent l differences. The trend of Democracy is toward socialism, while the Republican party stands for a wise and regulated Individualism. I General Markets.

I Copyright, 1907, by C. W. Hooke. IT Is Important to know how the people were placed when this thing happened. The pretty girl f aat in seat No. 7 and was thus about midway of the car, on the left side looking forward. Directly in front of her, in seat No. 5, was a lean, tali, lithe man of forty years, with scanty dark hair and gray eyes. He was dressed in a style of quiet elegance. A panama hat hung from the gilded peg over his head, and a neat traveling bag was on the floor beside him. He seemed to be dozing. I occupied seat No. 9, and behind me ware a woman and her son, an un pleasant Child, of a very dull coun- j tenance, but as restless as a scared jackal in a cage. Opposite me, in No. 10, was Mortimer Belden, whom I have known some years. He is a rich man and looks the part Before and behind him, in seats 8 and 12, were young men of much the same type as himself. They were strangers to each other and to us. The pretty girl had boarded the train at Albany, had immediately opened a book and, except for an occasional glance out of the window, had not for a single moment ceased to read. We were some miles beyond Utica when she closed her book and laid it upoh the window ledge. A few minutes later I heard her utter a faint cry. She bent forward and studiously regarded the floor. Then she stepped out into the aisle for a more comprehensive view, and I thought that she had spied the object of her search, for she knelt quickly beside her chair. But when she raised her head her glance en countered mine, and I perceived in stantly that she had not succeeded. A pretty bewilderment was in her big brown eyes, and as she turned them again to the floor I saw her wink rap idly, as a child does when its vision seems at fault. At this juncture the young animal from seat No. 13 arrived upon the scene with a startling suddenness and yet not running. “Lost anything?” said he in that flat and whining voice, as of the educated “LOST ANYTHING?’’ SAID HE IN THAT FLA'l VOICE. pig talking through its snout, which Is rapidly becoming the typical speech of New York. The pretty girl looked up with some i thing like a shudder, and I observed I that she deftly changed her position so as to exclude the boy from a too inti mate participation in her search. “Yes,” she replied, and. oh, the heav enly difference of her tone, so round and rich and human! “I have lost a j ring.” “Le’ mo help yer find It,” whined the I boy, and at this we all Interfered sl I multaneously. She received our attentions graclous I ly and simply. “It’s very odd,” she said. “I dropped i the ring right down in front of me. Can> it have rolled back under my chair?” 1 Mortimer Belden arose from the floor I at this, and his face was the color of a j ripe tomato as a result of scanning the I carpet at close range. “It’s not there now," said he. Nevertheless we all repeated Bel j den’s performance, and then with equal particularity we examined the region j under and around chair No. 5. The re suit wag entirely negative. For my own part, I was thoroughly convinced that the ring had gone In j the direction of No. 5. for, though I had not been looking at the young lady i at the exact moment of her mishap. I knew what her attitude had been, and this seemed to preclude the possibility i of the ring having rolled in any dircc j tion. It could not have caught in her i gown, for the skirt was absolutely plain. i I had noticed the trinket on her fln i ger. It was a pretty little diamond ol about a carat and a half and had been worn on what is called the engagement linger—doubly precious, no doubt, and surely uot to lie lost In this ridiculous manner. There was not a cranu.v In which It Could be hidden; there wer* no dark shadows, for fhe hour was 4 very bright. Six of ns—not to count the bad boy, who was viewed \ylth sus picion by all and had been kept upon the outskirts—had searched twenty square feet of floor space In vain. The situation began to be painful, for if the ring was not on the floor it was in somebody’s pocket. Already I had observed my friend Belden to be eying the three strangers critically, and now he edged away to ward the forward end of the car with the distinguished looking gentleman who had occupied seat No. 5. Obvious ly they were about to hold a consulta tion, and at the sight an idea came into my head. I turned toward the pretty girl and was much gratified to perceive that my I i'TOHI,. V_MiT J_> .7—1 “SHE BEGGED ME TO BE EXPLICIT.” desire for private conversation was shared by her. She must have been perfectly sure that the ring was not on the floor, for she abandoned the spot without hesitation and followed me to the rear of the coach, where she gra ciously consented to accept my sympa thy and my card. I learned that she was Miss Myrtle Leigh and that she lived in Syracuse. “Do you suppose that dreadful little boy could have found my ring?” she asked. “And yet how could he? I don’t understand it at all." “My suspicions incline in another di rection,” saifi I. "and for rather an odd reason.” She begged me to be explicit. “There happens to be on this train,” said I, “a detective from New York, really quite a celebrated fellow in his way. His name is Anderson. I know him quite well He passed through our car just after we left Albany, but I did not make any sign of recognition because bedidn’t.

II saw and recognized me. of course. he also saw and recognized, with qu,' a different feeling, the man w ho in front of you, in seat No. 5." “Oh, my!" she exclaimed la a bush voice. “You don’t mean he knew hi for a—a criminal!” “The idea flashed through my mi s I replied. “You see, I’ve been at with Anderson and others of hfy pr fession quite a bit for the intmt.U it, and I know their ways. Of ecu:-, this is rather a wild accusation. S' upon my word, X don’t see how the IV low could have got the ring witkou. your seeing him, and yet I think I'd better hunt up Anderson and try to get a word with him. He’s still on the train, for I've seen him since we left Utica. He went forward just after we pulled out.” Miss Leigh was naturally Indisposed to accuse any one or even to begin a police investigation under such cir cumstances, but she agreed with me that Mr. Anderson’s advice would cer tainly be helpful. xne man wnose reputation i nan so recklessly assailed was not In view when "Miss Leigh and I returned to our seats. Belden told me that he had gone forward, and he added, with a laugh, “He thinks you got it.” “I? Blast him!” “What do you think r "I think he got it.” “Well, you’re even on that,” said Belden, and the idea seemed to amuse him. “Now, look here,” said I; “I h#ve my reasons, but there’s no time to tell you what they are. I may give you a sur prise presently. You keep your eye on that panama hat and the grip over there. This train stops at Glendon, and We’re within two minutes of the place now. If that fellow tries to get off stop him.” “What?” gasped Belden. “Well, if you don’t dare do that, de lay him. Keep your eye on him. I’ll be back inside the two minutes.” I hurried forward through the train, which was already slowing down for the Glendon station, but I did not find Anderson. Annoyed by this failure, I returned more slowly, keeping a sharp er eye upon my fellow passengers, but the detective had disappeared. Obvi ously he must have got to the rear of the train without my seeing him, per haps while I and the others were paw ing around on the floor and bumping one another’s head. The train had come to a stop by the time that I reached our car, but the bag and the panama hat were still in j view, and Belden was on guard. Miss Leigh, however, was not visible. Bel den said she had gone “aft.” I also went “aft.” I wont to the end of the train, but l did not find Anderson nor Miss Leigh nor the man from seat No. 5. It seemed to be a day when not only 1 diamond rings, but people, were able to lose theraselve3 with unexampled facility. When I re-entered our car, Belden had vanished. I glanced hastily to ward seat No. 5. The hat and grip were still there. “Your friend's gone to find "the con ductor," said the man In seat No. 12. “At least I think so. He asked me If I remembered which way the conductor went. He seemed rather excited.” At this moment the man in seat No. 8 rose hastily. In fact, he came up as If propelled by a spring. He turned toward us, leaning with one hand upon the chair back. The other hand was at his breast. His mouth hung open; his eyes stared. “My pocketbook!" he gasped. Instinctively I thrust my hand inside my waistcoat, where in a pocket which I hud always thought to be beyond the reach of thieves I had been accus timed to carry the bulk of my imme diate funds. The pocket was empty. The man in No. 12 looked from one to the other of us, and he grinned. His hands were in his trousers pockets. “My money’s all right," said he. “X didn’t have much, but”— He paused and then suddenly clapped his hand to his tie. “By jingo! My pin’s gone!” “He touched me for better than a thousand,” said No. 8, and I saw him moisten his dry lips with his tongue. “I suppose there’s no doubt”— I be gan, and finished the sentence by pointing to seat No. 5. “Nonsense,” said No. 12. “It was the girl. She made the bluff of dropping the ring, knowing what we’d do, and while we were all butting’’our heads against the furniture and she was reaching over us, pointing out likely places— Oh, oh, oh! What a set of easy marks!” “But where’s the man?” I demanded. “There are his things,” retorted No. 12. “He’s still on the train. But where’s the girl?” “Miss Leigh was kind enough to per mit a sort of introduction between her self and me,” said I. "I may perhaps claim the right to defend her, since there Is no one else here who knows her at all, and I would like it to be understood that nothing further must be said which touches her good name and that what has been said must be withdrawn.” No. 12 looked me In the eye. He was firm In his opinion and a man of nerve. I could see him hardening his heart for a reply that would create a very strained situation. Then suddenly his expression changed to one of astonish ment. He was looking over my shoul der. I turned and saw Miss Leigh. Behind her was Belden, and behind him was Anderson. The conductor brought up the rear. Miss Leigh came straight to me. “It was that man!” she cried. “You were right. I’ve got my ring again.” And she held up her hand to show it. “After you left me I wejp*| to the rear man might Jf.’jjP33 «and he did. And when I saw tfillt lie had another hat on—a soft one that must have been folded in his pocket—then I knew for sure. And I ran after him, and just as I caught him Mr. Anderson caught him too. He’s in the baggage car now, and Mr. Anderson has nil your things.” “Yes,” said Anderson, with his pe culiar drawl, “when I saw Tony Jack Wallace quitting us like that and pull ing out his folder hat I knew some thing was queer, so I just trailed along. Nobody quicker than Tony Jack to take advantage of a little accident like the lady dropping the diamond. I’ll bet he had it before it touched the floor. See him do it? Why, that man could take your shoes off your feet and you wouldn’t know it. Working the trains is his specialty, and he al V r' X _3*9 “ITT DEAR LITTLE EUJO,” SAID SHE ways has a bit of fake baggage to make you think he's still aboard.

And now, gentlemen, if you’ll name your losses I’ll make good. I’ve got all the plun der.” Miss Leigh resumed her place in seat No. 7 and I mine in No. 9, but now the two seats faced each other. “My dear little ring!” said she. “I love it very much. It was my moth er’s.” She saw the look In my eye, and she laughed. “I have to wear it on that finger,” i she said. “It won’t fit any other.”

For nine months, five mornings each week have represented more or less ex citement to get that daughter oft to school on time. From school there has been another rush to music lessons, a dancing class or a girls' club. Satur days have stood for shopping excur sions and matinees or calls. Sunday, the one day of rest, has found the mother glad to relax and forget do mestic and maternal duties. As a result, when vacation does be gin the mother is surprised to find that this .girl with whom she now comes face to face every day in the week is an entirely different young person from the daughter she has been rushing to school, private classes, concerts, etc. First she will note defects in her daughter’s bearing, her work, her gen eral posture when seated. There may be a tendency to stooping, to round shoulders, to standing with one hip thrust out or with one shoulder higher than the other. For any of these tricks, the best cure consists of a few simple exercises and walking under careful oversight. For a graceful carriage there is nothing better than raising and lowering the weight slowly and regularly on the toes. Stand with heels together, toes turned,out, shoulders back, chest high, abdomen depressed, head up and chin in, hands on the hips, finger tips for ward. Very slowly raise the body, first on the ball of the foot, then on the toes, and hold the position a few sec onds; then as slowly drop back the weight on the entire foot. Repeat this exercise twenty times, Inhaling slowly and deeply through the nose, with the lips closed. Look straight ahead, not at the floor. This exercise is espe cially good to secure balance. The familiar but never-falling trunk twister is useful not only as an exer cise to secure balance, but it acts upon the liver, which Is very apt to be slug gish after nine months' confinement In a school room. Stand erect, as aescrineu aoove, mi with the arms out at the side, on the level with the shoulder, palms down. Stand firm with the weight of the body on the ball of the foot, not on the heel. Now turn the head and the hips to the right, but swing the arms and shoul ders to the left. This movement, as It sounds, is something like turning the body into a human corkscrew. Reverse the position, that is, turn the head and hips to the left, and the arms and shoulders to the right. Repeat the ex ercise slowly and firmly, not jerkily, at least ten times. Breathe deeply, al ways inhaling through the nose with the lips closed. Never allow the feet to move from their original pbsition. This exercise will do more to stimulate, the action of the digestive organs than all the nostrums ever put up by drug gists. If the girl Is round shouldered, try this exercise: Stand as described for the first exercise, the weight of the body on the ball of the foot, the hands palms downward and finger tips touch ing on the chest. Have the elbows on a level with the shoulders. Now, with the eyes fixed on a certain point in the celling, bend the body forward very slbwly at the hips, being especially careful not to let the elbows sag or drop, or the gaze to wander from the point selected in the celling. This is not a violent exercise, but invaluable for throwing back the shoulders. If possible, avoid braces. Teach the girl rather to form an imaginary brace with her will-power. Do not scold a girl or nag at her about her defects. Rather appeal to her pride, and make her long to be attractive. When she NftllMMi thtt no •mount ot pr®tty trocsu can overcome pnysicai detects, naa car riage, and awkward positions, she will improve her bearing for the sake of being admired. Many girls, directly after examina tions, suffer from a light form of in somnia. Do not let this become a hab it. Furnish reactionary measures at once. Insist that all school books be packed away and supply light, cheerful reading. Be sure that the girl's room is properly aired at night, that her covers are light, that her pillow. If she uses one, is thin, and allow no one to share the bed with her. A tepid bath before retiring sometimes induces sleep. Either a very cold or a very hot bath, however, stimulates, and is very a.pt to leave the patient more wakeful than .ever. Always have near her bed a little plate of crackers, and then if she feels a sinking sensation at the pit of her stomach, she can ease that by simply nibbling at a cracker. If her hair has a tendency to fall out, due probably to an overheated condi tion of the scalp from the hard brain work at the close of the school year, try sun baths. Have the hair hang loose at least part of each day and ven tilate and sun it. Wash it with an egg beaten lightly in a pint of tepid, not hot water, rinse thoroughly and dry in the sun. This will cause uniformity of color if the hair, especially blonde hair, has become streaked. Even girls in their teens sometimes form the habit of biting their nails in the school room, and while an appeal to the girl’s pride is generally suffi cient, once the strain of examinations Is over, she can help her pride by rub bing a bit of arnica, or aloes, on her nails, and the bitter flavor will act as a check each time she puts her abused finger tips to her mouth. PICNIC DAINTIES Raspberry Shrub! Take eight quarts of the fresh berries, one pint of acetic acid, and four quarts of water. Put these into a stone Jar and let it etand for forty-eight hours, stirring it occa sionally. To one pint of the juice, add one pound of sugar, boil fifteen minutes and bottle while hot. When the liquid has cooled in the corked bottles open and refill them; pound the corks In very tight. If this liquid is to be kept any length of time, cut the cork off close to the bottle and dip it in hot wax to seal it. Pressed Chickeni Boil three fowls until the meat comes off the bones easily. Remove all the bones and chop the meat up fine, add a piece of melted butter the size of a large egg. Season highly with salt and pepper. Take about one pint of the liquor in which the fowl* were boiled, add to this half a box of gelatine and let it dissolve. Put the chicken meat into a saucepan and add the dissolved gelatine and cook until the broth is evenly distributed. Put into a pan and under a heavy press until perfectly cold. Gold Sandwiches! Rub the yolks of three hard boiled eggs to a paste. Add two tablespoons of dive oil, mixing with a silver fork. Now add a pinch of mustard, cayenne pepper and salt, and lastly one tablespoon of vinegar. When this 1» thoroughly mixed, add one cup of grated yellow cheese. Spread on white buttered bread. Walnut Cookies! Take half a cup of brown sugar and half a cup of white, cream with half a cup of butter. Add to thie the beaten yolks of three eggs and beat very hard. Now add half a cup of New Orleans molasses, and half a cup of Sifted flour. Drop by tea spoonfuls on greased tin. Place walnut meat en each, and bake In a vary slow oven until brown. ETIQUETTE EOR THE EAIR VACATIONIST f~s ■TT" girl who is face to face with gher first real vacation, the first summer outing which she has earned by months of work in store, of fice or factory, has many pleasures to anticipate and a few problems to dread. After she has settled the resort at which her vacation money shall be spent, and the pretty frocks and fur belows which will make her stay truly Joyful, she suddenly pauses and asks: "But how will I make friends?" Enter thus the first problem in good form. The best way to insure pleasant friendships on a vacation Jaunt is to start out with friends. I am always sincerely sorry for the girl who goes vacationing quite alone. The Amer ican girl is entirely reliable and trust worthy; she is generally quite able to take care of herself—but she is far more charming when chaperoned. And if she cannot have a chaperon, some sympathetic, light-hearted ma tron, as her companion on her vaca tion, then by all means let her flock to gether, three or four of her, and enjoy the vacation as a party. The lone girl is not regarded with suspicion, but she la not taken up so quickly nor •cor dially as the girl who has a chaperon or who is one of a party. In selecting your resort, choose one that is not so far away as to eat up money in railway fares. There Is always a number of pleasant spots near your home, so that you can save some of the money you have been planning to pay in fare upon holiday sports and side-trips. You will find many inci dentals at any summer resort, boats to hire, drives to be paid for, admission to summer amusements, bowling alleys, etc. None of these are included in the rate made for board and room, though they are attractively set forth in the ad vertising matter Issued by the hotel. If there is bathing, you must be pre pared to hire a bath house. Generally when euchre parties are given, guests club together to buy prizes. Hops are free. Having decided upon resort and ho tel, write in ample time to the man ager of the hotel, stating when you want your room, and have a clear un derstanding as to rates. If you cannot arrive on the date set, notify the ho tel manager of your change In plans. Do not take many odd pieces of bag gage. Pack all you can In your trunk, and carry with you one bag or suit case, and your umbrella and paraBOl If they will not go In the trunk. Wear the simplest tailored frock you have In cloth or pongee, if you are go ing some distance, linen If your ride will be short and hot. Have clean white or ta^li silk gloves, never black. Buy your ticket In advance. Do not rush Into thie depot with three minutes or less to ai>are. You will find a long line at the ticket window and you may miss your train. You can buy your ticket a day or so in advance, and re serve your sleeper or parlor car seat If you intend to ride in one. On arriving at your destination, in quire first |f the hotel provides a bus and express service. If not, make a very clear /bargain with the express man or hacicman you engage. On reachijng the hotel, you enter the office and ^glster, reminding the clerk that your room has been reserved. A bell boy will take your bag, and see that you are provided with ice water, stationery, etc., for which you tip him, ten cents being quite sufficient. When you dress to make your first appearance on the porch or In the par lors, do not choose your most elaborate gown. A simple lingerie frock will be In better taste, or If you arrive In the morning, cpange to a shirt waist suit. Your first entrance into the great dining room will be trying. A head waiter will be near the door to re ceive guests, and to him you give your name or sky "One,” which means you are quite alone. He will then place you where he thinks you will be least embarrass id. Some resorts now have hotel host isses, and If such there is at your hote she will watch for a lone guest am see that she is introduced and seatei with companionable persons. Once yo 1 are given a seat in the din ing room you return to it for each meal, un ess, on request, the head waiter as -ees to change It for you. At ever resort certain plans for the day’s plei Siring are followed regular ly. At St Side resorts, there are regu lar batUT g hours, games are played before and after bathing, and tne board walk along the beach Is crowded at night. You will now see the im portance of having a chaperon of being one of a party. While there is little formality at the average American resort, young people do not make promiscuous acquaint ances. If you know no one at the hotel and there is no hostess or entertainer, then you must try to make friends with some married or middle-aged woman who may be kind enough to assume the duties of chaperon. And the girl who is winning and attentive to older wom en will ^bon have a desirable chaperon. Young girls frequently speak to each other without introductions, and you are always safe in addressing your el ders. In fact, the latter are always worth cultivating, as they can intro duce other young persons to you when you have been tried and found inter esting. A young man who desires to meet you can do so without boldly seeking your acquaintance on the board walk or on the tennis court. He can be In troduced by some one connected with the hotel, or he can ask the elderly woman whom he sees you with, to make the introduction.* Do not allow the so-called privileges of the summer girl to lead you astray. It pays to ob serve the conventions. When large parties are arranged for a side trip, as to sail, or fish, or enjoy a clambake at some distant point, each participant pays her own fare unless especially invited by some one individ ual. If the married woman who has taken you under her wing unmistak ably invites you to go as her guest, or if tHe invitation cornea from some at tentive young man, well and good, but do not be deceived by the fluttering person who goqs around with a sub scription paper or makes up parties. This means you must bear your share of the expenses. And especially If your mother Is not accompanying you, do not remain late out with young men upon shadowy porches or on the beach unchaperoned. It may seem romantic, but well-bred guests at the hotel where you wish to shine will call it by a less kindly name. FANCY WORK Fall PORCH-PARLOR DAYS XN fancy work, as in all other branches of Industry, fashion seems to have taken a decidedly practical turn, and the ornate center pieces, done in gaudy silks, over which girls spent weeks and weeks of hard labor have given way to hand-made underwear- Indeed, hand-embroidered shirtwaists are not seen as much as they were last year—all the young girls turning their attention to dainty lin gerie. Almost everything Is done In eyelet and convent style of embroid ery. These hand-made bits of under wear can be purchased ready-made In all the shops, but most women take great pride In turning out the dainty articles at home. Night gowns all have the kimono sleeves and are cut In one, or at the most, two pieces. Chemises have come back Into fashion, and even the stout woman can wear them If she cuts them from a pattern with very little fulness about the hips. Drawers are well fit ted about the hip line, with circular ruffles, buttonholed about the edge. One of the newest wrinkles about a ohemlse Is not to join the shoulder seams. Fin ish It off with buttonhole edge, and work a buttonhole on each side, and slip dainty ribbon through them, thus

formlngflth* shoulder strap by a little bow. 1 If lacB is utilized on underwear In connection with this eyelet work, tor chon o9g fine quality should be used. A line 1 -each Val is quite out of place with tl s type of embroidery, and wears at Ion® before the garment does The i iwest work bags are embroi dered 1 en. Silk bags for fancy work are qu! e out of date. These linen catch-a s are made of daintily colored linens, ldudlng the natural tone. One of the smartest bags seen this year was ma e of a fine quality of pale green linen, e lbroidered in maidenhair ferns. It was lined with a darker shade of green Ihlna silk, the lining showing at the top about two Inches, forming a frill ibout the top of the linen bag. Anothe was made of light blue linen done 1ms Dutch design In old blue Ro man flews. These bags wash beautifully. Perhaps the smartest thing In em broldei ed belts Is made of white silk moire >eltlng, which can be purchased at the ribbon counter of any depart ment i tore. Do not get moire ribbon, but In 1st upon having the heavy belt ing. 1 !ave the back of the belt stamp ed saiji embroider all In White scroll design. FIlo silk is heavy enough, but the design must first be padded with soft thread. Belts of ecru are also very smart Just now. The latest of these seem to be worked in the Walla chian embroidery in brown floss. The edges should be buttonholed, and a design should be selected that runs all around the belt. Embroider in shades of brown with Just a touch of pink scattered through it. Finish off In front with a buckle made of heavy ecru lace or mother of pearl buokle. The lace buckle can be made at home by cutting heavy pasteboard the shape you wish It, then cover the form with linen like the belt, and finally cover with the laee. These make very effective buokles for the ecru belts. Coronation braiding, both for table linen and wearing apparel, Is still popular. A beautiful shirtwaist was seen the other day, done In a daisy design. The daisies were outlined in the coronation braid, and the centers done in French knots of Roman floss. The combination of the floss and the braid was most effective. Dainty corset covers are made of handkerchief lawn, and all the seams are feathsrstltched. At the left side of the blouse portion mark out a circle with a large spool and featherstitch all around this, and within the circle em broider your name, “Ellse," "Eleanor," and whatever It may be.

Summer Frills for Little Maids HE mother who devote* much time and thought to the gown ing of her small daughters gen finds that her summer sewing Is done on the installment plan. While ane siege with the seamstress will sup ply sufficient raiment for cold weather. Bummer dressmaking is best accom plished in two lots. The first includes what is absolutely essential to meet the needs of the first warm days In late May and early June, rather stout little frocks for the last days in school. The second represents strong play dresses ind the really, truly summer frocks, ill transparent stuffs with lace and apen embroidery for trimming. The latter sewing usually runs quite well into June if not Jfily, and in this :he mother is wise because the shop jounters are overflowing with bargains md short lengths in fabrics and trim mings which save a pretty penny. Despite the evident effort at simplic ity, this is by no means an economical lummer for the mother of small daugh ters. In the first place it Is a season it colors, and colors In wash fabrics ire never economical. Moreover It is a. ribbon season—and ribbons wilt under heat, sun and dampness. In regard to colors, they are shown In all the fabrics for all sorts of usage. For the past few years, all the after noon and Sunday frocks for little girls have been done in white. This season pale blue, pink, cerise, rose, scarlet and brown, which, by the way, are mostly warm shades, are much used in all wash fabrics. The lawns, batistes, or gandies and other transparent fabrics are shown in the paler tints, but in ginghams, chambreys. linens and gal atea cloth, you will find the most vivid of colorings. And when a dress is of white goods or the popular ecru or nat ural tone, it is brightened by ribbon or belt of brighter hue. While much is said and written about the ribbon sets, which Include broad sashes and enormous hair bows, other ribbon devices are also used in great profusion. Many restless girlies can not wear a sash tied round the waist. It is always sagging down to the knees or coming untied. Such wee maids have the ribbon garnitures literally sewed to their gowns. Sometimes the narrow ribbon is run through beading of fancy design and finished with soft knots or what might best bq described as a shower bow. A very pretty ucaiRii wuo ouu wao noted at a recent gathering of smartly dressed children in a private school. The little dress was cut with a short waist suggesting Empire lines, but there was no confining belt. Instead, the trimming and ribbon garnitures were applied on vertical lines. The fab ric was a soft handkerchief linen and the trimming a fine batiste embroidery, with a sharply pointed edge. This was run in strips from the neck and shoul ders to a point Just above the child’s natural waist line, with the points meeting and leaving a diamond shaped opening in the center. Under this Joining of fine embroidery ran soft strips of white ribbon, each strip finished with soft loops and long ends. The effect of the floating ends of white ribbon was extremely pretty on this angular little girl who would have made a sorry figure indeed In a sash. Some of the new sashes are figured or splashed with flowers or done in checks, but the most effective ribbons for the small child are those In delicate solid colors. Another article of raiment in which colors are shown is the stocking. For little tots the shops are showing white socks, with the upper part done in fine pink and white or blue and white checks. Sometimes these are worn with white shoes or slippers and some j times with slippers to match the oolor, pink or blue, but this t« only for dressy occasion. Brown ties and stockings are very popular for every day; black patent leather slippers and ties are for dress, and Indeed very few high shoes are shown for girlies except for rainy day use, traveling, etc. The new hat shapes, like those of fered for older girls, have the droop ing brims, which are far more becoming to the average Juvenile face Shan the sharply upturned or roll brim. Floral wreaths are used on best hats, and plain ribbons, arranged somewhat in scarf fashion, seem popular for play hats and traveling. In fact, some of the smartest hats shown for little girls are rough straw, white, ecru and dark blue, with a broad ribbon band around the croWn, finished with a mitred point and two tailored looking ends of rib bon which strike about at the shoulder. In play dresses, where oolored cham brey, gingham, zephyrs, etc., are uSod almost invariably you find the white gulmpe, sometimes In embroidery, oftener In tucked lawn, while the Jumper is finished all the way round neck and sleeve openings with scallops done In white mercerized floss. The larger the girlie, the deeper the scal lops, while for little children the nee dlework is exquisitely fine and dainty. For very best frocks much hand work Is noticed, and often this is done in shaped pieces for yoke, cuffs or panels. PICNIC DAINTIES Sardine Sandvrleheat Take the sar dines from a large can. skin and bone them, and mash to a paste. Take the yolks of three hard boiled eggs And mix to a paste, and chop the whites very fine, blend with this some melted butter, then add the sardines, and flavor with lemon juice. Finally add six olives chopped very fine. Blacnlt Sandwiches* Roll biscuit dough very thin—About like pie crust— and spread with butter. Then roll an other and put on top of this. Cut out and bake In quick oven. When done pull apart and spread while hot For Ailing take equal parts of chicken and ham, seasoned with celery salt and cay enne pepper, moistened with mayon naise. Cream of Marahmallowai Whip one pint of thick cream to a very stiff froth. Buy a pound of marshmallows and cut each of them into three or four pieces, and add to the cream, beating them well through it. Place Immediately next to the ice and let It get thoroughly chilled. This should be served on In dividual dishes and each portion heavily sprinkled with chopped nuts. Banaua Parfalti Melt a glass of tart currant jelly In a porcelain saucepan. Then remove the skins from six large, firm bananas, and stew In the Jelly for a few moments. Take out the fruit and cut lengthwise in half. Lay them on a platter or pretty glass dish and ppur the syrup over them. Put in the Ice bo* to get thoroughly cold, and serve with white cake.
