Roosevelt's mother, Alexander T. Hamilton, epoke. Gen. Horatio C. King of New York, representing, as he said, "the 2,000,000 young men who had gone out to the battle of the nation at this crisis fty years ago," gave way to Col. Thomas H. Lloyd, of Florida, a one armed veteran, who had fought on the other side in the 60's. Gen King threw an arm about the man in gray and helped him lift a stump of a hand in which the ex-Confederate had a sheet or two of the seconding speech. By this time the convention had reached an exalted stage of enthusiasm. It had cheered for thirty-seven minutes when Mr. Prendergast named the colonel. It had followed Miss Addams through the aisles as she carried the yellow silken banner of the "votes for women" cause, after she had ended her seconding speech. It reached its climax in the demonstration over the declarations of the men who had worn the blue and the gray. Nominations Announced. Col. Roosevelt did not wish to be nominated until after the platform had been adopted, nor did the convention wish to name its candidate until it had acted upon the resolutions report.

At 5:36 the platform was declared to be officially adopted, and at 5:39 the motion was put which suspended the rules and made the colonel the nominee. Proceeding at once to the vice presidency. Gov. Johnson was placed before the convention and made the running mate of the colonel. It was exactly 6:53 when Chairman Beveridge made the official announcements of the nominations. The committee to notify the candidates had gathered in the Coliseum Annex. Col. Roosevelt came down from his quarters in the Congress and Gov. Johnson joined the party. The two men were escorted to the platform. . There was a great cheer, but no attempt at the usual demonstration. Col. Roosevelt's sober visage and the earnestness of Go. Johnson had an instant effect upon the audience. Praise for Colleague. The colonel was presented to the convention by Chairman Beveridge as "our great, trusted, and beloved leader, the captain of the common good, the next president of the United States. Col. Roosevelt's reference to his colleague on the national ticket was a signal for a great burst of cheering when he said that Gov. Johnson was fit to be not only the president of the United States but the greatest president. Gov. Johnson had taken a seat as Col. Roosevelt spoke. When he was presented to the convention there was a splendid .ovation for him. When he concluded the audience stood peacefully, rang out the Doxology, bent for the benediction, and the convention was declared at an end at 7:26 o'clock. Spoiled Her Romance. I was blessed with a romantic brain, and a quiet, even state of things could not satisfy me for long. So the thought suddenly entered my head to have my husband madly in love with me. One evening as we were promenading the bank of the Vistula, under those venerable trees which shaded the less unsophisticated loves of the beautiful Marie d'Arquin, 1 brought round the conversation to sentiment I maintained that no happiness was possible on this earth except in a reciprocal attachment both lively and enduring. My husband, after listening to me Indulgently for a little while, looked at his watch, called my attention to the lateness of the hour, observed that our cousins were becoming very tiresome and that It was time to go lnl From Countess Potocka's Memoirs.

Two good preliminaries have been added to the boxing show to be held at the Coliseum next Monday night. In the opening bout of the evening Kid Clapp and Otto Hiatt, two of the beat of the local boys will meet in a 6 round bout and the second bout will bring together Roy Wolfe of Hagerstown and Joe Hatfield of New Castle in a 6 round session. The semi-windup between Jimmy Watts, who has always been a big favorite in Richmond, and Johnny Dorsey of Terre Haute, is attracting almost as much attention as the main event as these boys are considered the best bantams in the state and are fighting at their best at the present time. The main event of the evening will bring together two of the best middle CHICAGO, Aug. 8. Governor Hiram Johnson, of California, the Progressive party's nominee for vice president, has been known as a fighter since the day he matriculated at the university of his state. In college he was an insurgent; and after leaving the university he entered public life as an insurgent. As a college student Hiram Johnson was noted for his athletic prowess. His determination to win there was the slightest opportunity often when the odds seemed hopelessly against j him was supported by the ironlike j constitution and a physical vigor of which his mates on the varsity nine j were proud, if not envious. Johnson eloped and was married in his junior year one of the first evidences of his insurgency. He was admitted to the bar at the age of 21, and began practice in Sacramento. Politics attracted him immediately, although he did not fun for office in his early years. But he did take an J notlvo nart in th fflmnmena of his ! state. One of his first political achievements was the thwarting of the will of the Southern Pacific machine, hitherto considered invincible. George H. Clark, Mayor of Sacramento, had been defeated by the machine for the office of State Railway Commissioner, and in retaliation refused to appoint as Chief of Police a man selected by the machine and the gamblers. Suit was instituted to oust Clark from the office of mayor. Johnson, already popular as a criminal lawyer, was employed to defend Clark, and he won his case in one of the most bitter fights in the history of Western Coast politics. In this case the young lawyer was encountered by a witness known as a gunfighter. Every one predicted trouble of a dire nature, and when the bad man invited Johnson outside of the court-room, the spectators thought the climax had come. "Shall we go now?" inquired the lawyer, smiling ai he arose to comply with the suggestion. The gun man hesitated, then sheepishly said he was merely 'foolin'." The lawyer had called his bluff, and had laid the foundation for a reputation as a fighter himself. Johnson moved to San Francisco soon after the Clark case was concluded. In the larger city he was equally successful in his fights against the "interests." Here he encountered another bad man, and again carried away the honors of the day. Then came the famous Abe Ruef case, and an opportunity for Johnson's crowning glory. Johnson's prosecution of Ruef after the shooting of Prosecutor Heney, is history. Ruef is wearing stripes at San Quentin. Johnson is governor of the state and holds the pardon power. Johnson was elected governor of his state as an insurgent, of course. His

weights in the country, Jack Dillon of Indianapolis, who claims the middleweight championship, and Bill Donovan of Buffalo, one of the best of the eastern middleweights. This bout will no doubt be the best ever seen in Richmond and is attracting attention through the state as orders for seats are already coming in from nearby towns. Dillon according to Indianapolis papers is doing his training at Riverside Bathing Beach with Jimmy Watts and at the present time is in grand condition. Donovan has been seen in action in this state but once and then he defeated Hugh McGann at Indianapolis in a ten rund bout at the miners convention a year ago. He has boxed such men as Frank Klaus, Jimmy Gardner, Buck Crouse and George Chip and has yet to suffer his first defeat by the knockout route. chief opponent was the Southern Pacific Railroad, his ancient foe. He faced William F. Herrin, chief of the railroad's political forces, and Patrick Calhoun, magnate of the United Railways. Both were stalwarts. Neither had ever lost a fight in an election. Johnson had neither money nor organization, but after having traversed 13,000 miles of the state's area in an old automobile he swept the country districts and carried San Francisco. Soon came the Chicago convention which nominated Mr. Taft for a second term, and to the convention came Governor Johnson, an insurgent a Roosevet man. He lost his fight for the seating of Roosevelt delegates from his state, and refused to participate in the "steam-roller" nominations. All Untrimmed Hats at Tinney's Millinery Store this week, 25c and 50c, your choice. it Talking to the Doctor. While making some professional calls In a sparsely settled district I came upon a little plump, rosy cheeked girl trudging toward borne with her slate and dinner pall in her band. I asked her to ride with me, I could see that she was a very timid child, and efforts to engage her in conversation were unavailing. Sfc,. would meekly answer "Yes" or "No," but not another word would she speak. A few weeks later I was called to the little girl's home to attend another member of the family for a slight ailment When about to leave the mother spoke up smilingly and said: "Do you remember my little girl riding with you a few weeks ago? Well, when she got home she said. 'Mamma, I rode from school with the doctor, and he kept talking with me and talking with me. and I just didn't know what to do. for you know doctors charge you when you talk with them, and I didn't have any money. "National Monthly. A Story of Longfellow. In Longfellow's journal, in which he chronicled daily things that came under his observation, he notes that upon a certain occasion he attended a church where the minister took as his subject "Progress." He was very flattered when the latter quoted about half of the "Psalm of Life." After repeating the verses the minister said. "I could never read that poem without feeling the inspiration with, which It was written." To this Incident Longfellow adds: "But I had the conceit taken out of me on the evening of that day. when I happened to meet a lady at Prescort's and in our conversation she referred to the sermon in the morning and added. 'He quoted some beantlful verses, but nobody knew from whence cam tbe quotation.' "

Rich mond came back after the defeat of yesterday and with "Heavy" Betts in the box, defeated the Plutos by the score of 50 to 3 in the second game here today.

Architects hare to deceive tbe eye in order to make it appear that their buildings are symmetrical. They make walls lean In that they may appear vertieaL They make windows wider at the top. They make columns thicker in the middle than at the summit or base. And the top lines of a building, in order to appear plumb to the silly eye of man. must be raised up quite a lot In the center. "Seeing is believing, indeed!" Cincinnati Enquirer. Apple Pie Without Apples. A guest at an old fashioned home dinner was eulogizing apple pie and her hostess when another guest who had been a California pioneer, recalled the "apple" pie given the children of 1S52 to appease their homesick cravings when apples were a dollar a pound. It was made by breaking four soda crackers into an earthern bowl and pouring over them a pint of cold water rendered very tart by citric acid. When soft the crackers were laid on a pie plate on the undercrust Over them were sifted two tablespoonfuls of light brown sugar and a little allspice and cinnamon. A pretty perforated top crust was added, and in A few minutes a perfect apple pie was taken from tbe oven to delight young and old. New York Sun. The Difference In Speed.

I Plain Dealer.,

DR. B. J. PATTERSON. Looking twelve months ahead. Dr. B. J. Patterson, of Pratt. Kansas, sees the Federation of American Motorcyclists just double its present size. Dr. Patterson is the newly elected president of the Federation, and in making the closing speech at the annual F. A. M. meet at Columbus the

other day, he proposed that everybody go to work with a view to having 30,0000 members when the Federation holds its next annual meet in July, 1913. At present the F. A. M. has nearly 17,000 members, having gained approximately 7,000 members during the last twelve months. Dr. Patterson has set a higher mark for the next twelve months and hopes to gain 13,000. That's the sort of a man the new president is. He's willing to tackle most any job, and when he takes it he gives it his time and his attention. He "puts things across." One of the new president's hobbies is "touring. He is secretary of the Short Grass Motorcycle Club of Kansas, a motorcycle club that "does things." One of the reasons why the club "does things" is because Dr. Patterson is secretary. The big event of the Short Grass yearj-is the annual motorcycle tour, a tour in which automobiles take part, and ' which is conducted through several Western states to the music of a quartet, the clicking of camera shutters and the hum of a moving picture machine all of which are to be part of the tour. The 1912 tour is about ready to move and Dr. Patterson is hurrying back to the West with the F. A. M. presidency tucked under one arm ready to handle his new job with the same dispatch and energy that characterize all of his actions. The new president is a practicing physician, and he uses a motorcycle in his practice. He studied for the law in his youth, practices medicine now and preaches motorcycling to all who will listen. Our First Coins. The first coins really deserving the name of United States coinage were struck off as "pattern pieces" by Benjamin Dudley at the instigation of Robert Morris and were laid before congress in 17S3 as specimens of what the coinage should be. They were a "mark" and a "quint" and are thus described: The "mark" obverse; an eye, the center of a glory, thirteen points cross equidistant a circle of as many stars. The "quint" is similar in design, the value on reverse being noted. FIRE CHIEF'S LUCKY ESCAPE. Mr. John Snobarger, chief of the Goshen, Ind., fire department, describes the different attacks of indigestion he was subject to for years, as a "Hell on earth." and states in a letter be has entirely escaped these attacks since he began using Lesh's Peps-Aid (P. A. D.) the wonderful and harmless remedy for all. forms of stomach trouble. FAllow Chief Snobarger's example, make yourself a new stomach and enjoy life once more, a trial will both surprise and convince you. Peps-Aid (P. A. D.) can be secured at the drug stores of Wr. H.
