It must bo a sight " Speaking of kissing, didn't you suppose everybody knew that a kiss on the stage of a theater Is Just a hollow show, as little like the real thing as a rented tree? Some frieads of ours a little way out of town got up a very clever play last wtater aad had a professional coach and all that It was for a charity hospital. WelL Mrs. Smith aad her husband were both In the cast, but Mrs. Smith's best scene was with the hero, her lover.

And wasn't her husband mad when he heard of the gussij ! Wey you know the stage effect is the emptiest show.

Ion of firing a revolver into the air outside your door would seem to city dwellers as extraordinary as tbe Maori nose salute. Hut as a rule we Americans hare reduced the custom of salutation to its barest aad lowest t. -tns. cutting out pretty much all the fanciful formalities of other lands and indeed of earlier times in our own land. We bolt into shops, tell the clerks what wo want, with no pretense of greeting them like human beings, and then bolt out again in tho samo time-saving but niannerlose style, which makes any well-bred Frenchman wonder and think things about U3. At least, he wondor3 for a few days, thon ho catches the microbe. At first, when ho entors an Amorican elevator, he says to the boy. "Good morning. Will you be so kind as to take mo to tho eleventh floor . . . Thank you." But the next week he knows his lesson. He. too. bolts in, and merely grunts, 'Leven." He is Americanized.

"Mary says we ought to be very careful If we patronize Clark's, because they break their promisee." "Jennie tells me her rug didn't wear well that she bought at Tbe Orient." etc.. etc. Ia the midst of ft Mr. Nearby comes ia and catches the drift of the conversation. He breaks ia with: "Say. Bob, if you want wall paper 111 tell you of a cracker-Jack salesman to go to. I believe he fairly eats wait paper, he's so wideawake about it- He knows what yen want better than you do yourself." Mr. Nearby interests Mr. aad Mrs. Doubtful so that they call for this salesman at that particular store. He immediately eaters into tholr plans with spirit and astonishes them with bis extonsive knowledge of patterns, their designs, their blending colors, tho qualities of paper, the effects of light aad shade and whether they would permit maay pictures hung against

In ceiliag decorations, in friezes, etc. Whoa they left him Mrs. D. sold impuislvolv: "Well, that man is an artist. I feel positively rested. He take? a load right off your shouldors, and aow." she signed resignedly. "I s'pose wo have to go back to that s.apki furniture departmont again." And it truly seemed moro stupid than ever. The salesman was affable enough, but be seemed only to follow them about, state prices aad tell them what was "the latent." He did not kaow how to suggest what would harmonize with the rest of tho room, nor how It might tit In any way into tholr particular needs. Neither did he educate them to an Intelligent appreciation of his furniture as the othor salesman had done with his wall paper. The first salesuaan wa3 a genuine comfort bocause he gave them the advice of a specialist. He kaew that out of every dollar tbe customer paid for those goo.ls four or five cants cume to him for his servi So he did not merely touch his cap 03 a lacke, does in the vestibule, but ho

MAY BE BUT ONE BALLOT

Contests, From Present Indications,

I Cannot Alter the Result

"Allies" Are Divided.

Washington, D. C With a:i U10 delogatos to tho rouubllcan national convontlon elected, tho nomination of William H. Taft for tho presidency on tho first ballot is assured. This statement is tntido after careful canvass and compilation of finished lists of delegates, and honest sifting of and allowance for conflicting claims onmnatlng from hoadquarters of rival candidates for first place on tho national tlckot. The relntlvo positions of tho various candidates in tho procession, upon n bnsls of the known delegate strength of onch. Is shown in tho following tabulation of tho number of delogatos instructed or. committed to each:

j Necessary to nominate 191 ; Taft 591 Knox 70 Hughes rG Cannon r.2 Fairbanks 42 LaFolletto 25 Foralvcr 13 The last of the delegates were chosen Saturday. Of tl.e total of 9S0 whi h w:ll represent the 16 states and the seien territorial governments in ( the eomentlon. enough are instructed

or ommitted to t.'ie secretary of war to give hiui a clear majority of moro than 100 votes. It is very possible that all opposition to him will fade

away when the balloting begins at tho Coliseum in Chicago The next candidate to him. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, is 500 votes behind tho loader, and the others trail further aad further in the rar Has 103 Votes to Spare. Mr. Taft safely may be credited with 591 of the iS0 votes, or 103 more than are necessary to choice In counting the Taft strongth the votes of three classes of delegates are set down In his column: Those instructed unequivocally for him by state and district conventions: those named by conventions vhlch adopted resolutions favorable to him; those who have declared thomselves publicly or privately to be for the secretary of war. Tho status of t!;e respectltva delegates have been determined in practically all cases from first-hand

information from tho individual states

and territories.

Ia addition to the 594 votes which may bo counted now for Taft without question, thore are 10S delegates

either managers with .much reason

might lay claim to a fair proportion.

say 50 or CO, of these. Choice Likely on First Ballot.

Finally, thore are 12S delegates

whose soats arc contested mostly

from tho Southern states, and it is not

unlikely that when tho credentials committee shall have acted on tha

cases, 20 or 30 votes moro will bo

added to tho Taft column, so that alto gothor, It practically is a certainty the secretary of war will be nontl-

nated on the first ballot, with a fair

prospect that a desiro to get aboard

the band wagon will cause the noml nation to be unanimous.

Supporters of tho Taft candidacy

will be In supremo control of tho or

ganization and of the committees of

tho convention. The "alllo3" In tho

antl-Taft camp cannot control one of

their native states solidly, with tho single exception of VIce-rresIdont Fairbanks of Indiana.
