Mr. Harwood bacarne active and climbed upon his chair. Gentlemcn In every pari cf thè hall seetned at once anxlous to speak. but thè chairm&n tc&3 apparently obllvious of all but thè delegate from Marion. The delegate from Marion, like thè myeterious person from Puiaski, wa a stranger to State conventions. The ladies were at once lnterested in thè young gentleilian with thè red oarnation in his buttonhoie—a trini young fellow, in a blue aerge suit, with a blue four-ln-hand knotted under a white winged collar. As he waited with his eye or. thè chairman he put his h&nd to his iead and smoothed his hair. B 'Ts Daniel going to speak?" asked wlra. Owen. “He ought to have asked me lf he's going to back Edward Thatcher for Senator.” *‘l always thmk his cowlick's so funny. He's certainly thè cms one," sald Maria n. “I don’t know what they're talking about a Senator for.” said Mrs. Bassett. -It a very unusual. lf I'd known they were going to talk about that I shouldn't have come. There's suro to be a row.” The chairman seemed anxlous that thè delegate from Marion should be honored with thè same dose attention that had been secured for thè stranger from Puiaski. ”1 hope he’ll wait til! they all sit down.” said Sylvia; “I want to heai him speak.” "Tou’ll hear him. all right.” said Maria n. "You know at Yale they called him ‘Foghorn' Harwood. and they put him in front to lead thè cheerlng at thè big grunes." Apparently something was expected of Mr. Harwood of Murion. Thatcher had left his seat and was movilig toward thè corridore to lini hia Ueutenants. Half a dozen men eecosted him as he moved through thè alsle. but he shoo'- them off angri.y An eflfort to start another demonstra tlon ir. his honor was not wholly frultless. It reali iteti at least in a good deal of confusion of which thè chair was briefly tolerant: then ho resumed bis pounding. while Harwood ftood stubfcomly on his chiir. B The voice of thè chairman was now audible. ‘‘The chair recognizes thè delegate from Marion.” "Out of order! What’s his name!” i howled many voices. The chairman graeiously availod { Mmself of thè opportunity to an- I nounce thè name of thè gentleman he had recQgnlzed. “Mr. Harwood, of Marion, _ijas thè floor. The convention will be in order. j The gentleman will proceed.”

OLD-TIMER SAYS BURROS ARE NEVER KNOWN TO DIE \\ rites to Magazine Telline of Long Search for Proof of Mortailty. CHICAGO. Dea. 15.—Adventure magazlne recelved thè following lette r from one of ita readers: "I have lived all my Ufo In thè West —Colorado. Nevada, and for thè laat seven years in California. I have had some experlence around deserta, mln- , Ing campa, etc., and come in contact with numerous ‘old tlmers’ —minerà, I cowmen, prospectors and adventurers. ■ I have packed, driven, rldden and 1 owned burros. and In all my experi- : enee and In accordance with all thè legenda I iistened to have never yet I seen or heard of a burro that died a ; naturai death, from old age or dlseaae. 1 have seen many which looked about to fall apart and were almost starved, but with weeks of feedlng they would tak? on flesh, Hven up, and give thè appearance of a ye&ritng. I heard thè rumor when I was about 12 years of age that they never die and ever since h ajre trled at every opportunity to ieam of some one who has seen them die.” SUES BOOTLEGCER FOR FAILING IN DELIVERY Case Owner Seeks to Recover Money Advanced on Beer. MILWAUKEE, Dee. 15.—1 f you have nerve enough you can sue your bootlegger for fallure to deliver thè goods. But you will have to take u chance on havlng a prohibitlon offlcer nab you. Joseph Culiaton, proprietor of a case. and Joseph Zielinski, formerly a bartender in thè case, gave $525 to Dominlck Zaicone, for which he was to deliver some Michigan beer of more than thè lawful strength to thè safe. Federai agente nabbed forty halfbaiTels of thè forbldden beer on thè boat, however, and conflscated It. Hence, Culiaton never got hls beer but Zaicone kept thè money. Zaicone was therefore called into munlcipal court on a charge of larceny as bailee. Xo testimony has as yet been given because Zielinski cannot l>e sound. But Xicholas Annen, Federai prohibitlon officer, will be on deck to listen when it is. SECOND HUBBY DEAD; WIFE SEEKS ALIMONY FROM FIRST Ciaims Divorced Spause Owes Her S3OO Since 1915.

“Mr. Chairman. I rise to a point of order." Dan’s voice rose sonorously; thè convention was relieved to And that rhe gentleman in blue serge could be heard; he was audible evento Mr. Thatcher’s excited counsellors In thè corridore. The delegate will kindly state his point of ra.-der.” The chairman was quletly courteous. liig right hand rested on his gavel, he thruat his left into thè side pocket of his long alpaca coat. He was an old and tried hand in thè chair. and his own deep absorptlon In thè romarks of Mr. Harwood communicated itself to thè oelegates. 9ir.
