HEW PARTY READY TO NAME COLONEL

fetates Sending Delegates Formally to Put Progressives on Record.

CHICAGO, July 29. When Theodore Roosevelt is nominated for the 'presidency by the National Progressive party In this city, on August 7th, or thereabouts,, political history will have repeated itself the story of 1856 recast with the political experience of a half century added. This is the theory on which the (men making the arrangements for next week's national convention are

working. There is to be no lake Tentlon will be housed in the Colitfront wigwam. The national coniseum with the same physical arrangements the same cheering galleriees of spectators, the many representative men of all states of the union, but with no steam roller. , Not under Michigan oaks, not by b localized sentiment of men firm in the faith but small in numbers, but under the same circumstances substantially, the Progressive party fortoially will be brought forth. Will Not Predict. In the rapid twist of political affairs which has transpired within the

rweck, the most expert of the poli

ticians has been unable to keep step with the trend of affairs. In Chicago yesterday, the leaders of thee

'new party movement were unwilling

ito make a definite -forecast as to jwhat is to be recorded of the first national convention of the Progressive ! party. On the basis of the Orchestra hall

convention on the Saturday night after Sherman had been nominated on the Taft-Sherman ticket by the June

convention, controlled by the regular Republican machinery, Mr. Roosevelt I will be nominated for the presidency fry acclamation. At the June gathering of the delegates who had been sent by the bulk ;o fthe Republican states to the Republican convention, the nomination had been conceded Mr. Roosevelt. In dei fiance of what these delegates termed the "steal" of the nomination, the ireal nomination of Col. Roosevelt was

felt to have been made by the men and women , who jammed Orchestra hall.

This was the sentiment of Gov. Hii ram W. Johnson of California in assuming the chairmanship of the OrjchcBtra hall convention: it was the j declaration of William A. Prendergast fof New York, who had been delegated ; earlier in the week to hake the nominating speech at the Coliseum for Col. .Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt, who reached Orchestra hall not long before midnight, jsaid he accepted the nomination, then 'offered, under the prevailing circumstances, but that he asked the sober consideration of the country to be returned at a subsequent convention of jduly elected delegates. This convention meets at noon on August 5, at the Coliseum. The appointments, the conveniences, the arrangements will be identical with those provided for the Republican 'convention. The delegates will be one-half in number as to voting ; strength, but practically the same as 'to quantity, because of the desire In the bulk of the states to send a full quota of the usual delegate strength 'with a one-half vote assigned to each delegate. j See Similarity to Wigwam Session. Political students see in the coming .Chicago gathering a great similarity ;to the wigwam convention at which the Republican party was brought : forth as a political entity after a ,long shadowy beginning, i The record of the new Progressive jparty so far has been established with 'extreme definitenesa and in future jpolltical history the scenec and condi

tions which formed the background for next week's convention will be photographed and located definitely in their relations to history. Reports at the Progressive head

quarters indicated state conventions

have been called in each of the fortyeight states and that full delegations will represent these states when the

Convention assembles.

How to Male a Convenient Folding Dosk. Folding desks which take up scarcely any space In a room of limited1 proportions and which may easily be transported In a trunk of average size may be made by the amateur worker as an Easter gift for a woman friend. The fonndation of the desk . is the two leaf size in nursery clotheshorses, which is about the height of the ordinary table. When fully opened this article forms a triangular space, into which must be fitted a triangle of the heaviest cardboard! obtainable, and two Inches from the edge of two of Its sides must be punched holes at regular and frequent intervals. To ' prevent these holes from tearing out have a shoe cobbler

fit them "with brass eyelets after the upper surface of the cardboard has been smoothly covered with cretonne.

crash, "art denim or whatever may be the chosen material of the desk and Its fittings. Then run strong colored tapes through these eyelets and attach the cardboard to the uppermost bars of the clotheshorse. This desk will not be of the sort to support the weight of the body, but It will be

sufficiently substantial for ordinary service and far more steady than a knee pad. and when not 'in use one row of tapes may be untied,' the cardboard top dropped between the leaves

or the clotheshorse and the deBk placed flat against a wall or upon a shelf. The ordinary desk equipmentblotter, letter holder., cardcase. ink bottle case, calendar and box for pens nay be kept on the desk ordinarily, but for them should be provided a capacious, box covered with material matching the upper sida of the oard-bprA-k.

HOW TO AMUSE CHILDREN. Many Tasks Mothors Can Givo Little Ones to Do. There Is a great deal in the way of keeping peace in the family generally, and In the nursery particularly. In letting children help. A child is naturally busy. Watch the little one just beginning to discover that he has fingers and toes that wiggle and see bow busy be keeps them. Watch the creeping little one that makes his unnoticed way to a cherished and neat workbasket and see bow spools, pincushions and all the useful articles fly as he throws them as far as his chubby arms can not, as many think, from a purely mischievous spirit, but simply because he wants to be busy. Supply a child with something, anything it can do, and it will be happy. Set it down with an injunction to "sit still and behave." and watch the wriggling little figure and hopeless countenance. There can be nothing more barbarous than to insist upon absolute quiet from a baby.

And there are so many small things a mother can give her little ones to

do. They can lift a chair and place it on the other side of the room; they can carry a small rug out on the porch, make believe to shake it and. if provided with a tiny broom, make still more earnest belief to sweep it. How happy and self satisfied is the small girl that is "helping mother!" Unless one has thought out the matter It Is more than amazing how very quick a little child js to learn. Here, truly, we may almost believe in the descent from Simian ancestry that Is, If we have ever watched a monkey Imitate the actions of people. I once was the proud mistress of a darling little Jocko, who, when detected In one of his thousands of impish tricks, would place one tiny paw upon his head and another on his little tummy and moan in approved style. If asked sympathetically. "Poor Jocko! Sick?" he would look as if at the edge of the grave. If forgiven and told so in words and by tone of voice the little rascal would scamper in high glee all about, showing plainly that there was nothing on earth the matter. Now, really a baby is very much like a monkey. Keep it busy and keep It out of mischief. 1 Let it find things to do itself, and It will be sure to find something that will create havoc. Give a ball or cord. True, there will be snarls, and the cord may be lost for all good forever and a day; but, oh, the pleasure and delight it has given that baby! Keep the little ones

-busy If they are to be happy, and do

not, I beg, try to make them "sit still." It Is impossible.

CATS AS THEY FALL They Can Land on Their Feet No Matter How They Drop. It is a common saying that if a cat

is dropped in any way whatever it will always alight on its feet. Since a man cannot lift himself by his boot straps or a boat cannot propel itself through the water except by pressing against the water in some way one may well wonder whether this is not one of the common sayings which are fallacious. The general principles involved are of such interest that the question was taken up a few years ago for consideration at a session of a French scientific society. It is 'a fact that it is dynamically possible for a cat to turn over, no matter how dropped, and experiments have shown that they actually do it. If a balloonist or air man should fall from a great height and should find that he were descending so as to strike on his head he could turn himself over so as to strike upon his feet if he knew the proper means of accomplishing it. But the distance he would have to fall in order to have time to turn over would be so great that he could have only an academic interest in striking on his feet rather than on his head, for the final result to him would be the same in either case.

Agriculture In its most practical forms will be included in the course of study of the county schools this year by County Superintendent Charles O. Williams, who believes this to be one of the most important steps that

could possibly be taken for the betterment of the county school curriculum. Although the course of study has not been completely mapped out, it is said that it will be practical and carried along scientific lines. The Wayne county schools have had text book matter in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades relating to the soil, seeds, crops of all kinds, livestock and the farm home. "The country youth pores over a

book which covers three or four hun

dred points, and which does not accomplish a great deal," said the superintendent. Under the new system which is to be introduced this fall by Superintendent Williams, the students of the eighth grade will spend the fir6t four months in studying chickens. The

intendent Williams. "It means that where the rural student now pours over books he will have the practical field work in the future. It is a thing that the farmers over the county have been demanding and it is a thing that they need. "In place of taking five subjects as they now do considering a hundred different topics during the year, two subjects will be all that will be taught in the future. "Providing that the experiment with the eighth grade meets with success, next year's course in practical farm work will be inaugurated in the sixth and seventh grades."

Legend of the Sunken Bells. Somewhere beneath the soil of Sussex, England, there lies a peal of bells, while In the church near by a solitary bell calls to prayer. In the middle ages, it is said, a certain valiant knight wished to present to the church a peal of bells that should be of use and perpetuate his memory as well, but the vessel that brought them careened on approaching the harbor, and the bells fell out and sank into the mud. Thereupon the donor declared: "Never shall the church have a chime until that peal I give it be dragged from the sea by a team of four milk white oxen." The oxen seem to have been difficult to obtain. At any rate, the fact remains that to this day the edifice to which the pious knight made his benefaction has never possessed more than a single bell.

When this work is about completed it is Mr. Williams' plan to have one of the instructors of the Purdue Agricultural experimental farm visit each school and give the class practical lessons in judging and scoring the animals.
