beautifully handled his subject,

His talk appealed to all and was
very much enjoyed. Rev. Sykes
spoke to the teachers on “Equip

was good but We dont think
when Pres. Harper got through

was represented by a class of

song. Stony Creek was repres

song-’ All were good but special
mention might be made of the

Berea sang a Quartette. There

Some Leaders Who Will Not FoUow'
 RoMevelt
Washington, July 5.—Progres
sive Republican Congr^smen
are preparing to give Col. Theod
ore Roosevelt the throw down.
All excepi two oj three Senat
ors and Kepresentativea, will
decline to join £he Roosevelt third
party movement.
One or two will support the
“Roosevelt electors” in his State,
claiming that Roosevelt is the
“regular nomiee” of the
Republican party.
Senator Joseph M. Dixon, pre
convention campaign manager
of the Colonel, is the only Sena
tor who seems to be enthusiastic
over the Roosevelt plan. Repres
entatiye Curry of New Mexico-
who was a Rough Rider in' the
Spanish-American war, is the
only Representatives of the
House who is showing a real des
ire to line up with, the Col
onel.
Inside of a week it is stated
that Senators LaFollette' Gron-
na and other leading Progressive
Senator will make formal statem.
ents, disavowing any purpose
to take part in the organization
of a third party. These Senators
may not declare for Taft, but
they will make it plain that they
do not think it is wise to start
a third party.
Senators Borah of Idaho. Jones
of Washington’ Kenyon of Iowa.
Brown of Nebraska,. Gronna
of North Dakota, Cummins of
Iowa and Lafollette of Wisconsin
will stick to the old ship and try
to wrest it from the hands of
the reactionaries who now man
it.
Without the support of such
men as Senators Borah, Gronna,
Cummins LaFollette, and Kenyon
and Representatives Copper and
Lenroot, for Wisconsin, Norris
of Nebraska, Cary of Wisconsin,
Heigeseh of North Dakota, Han-
gen of Iowa. Hayes of California
Kendall of Iowa Wilson of Illino

Colonel Roosvelt's party will
not get far, it is believed.

(Chicago Telegram to The Pitts

"Oh, you daddy; you dear old
thing. Pve watched the con
vention everyday for you,”
(Smack, smack, hug, hug, busi
ness of deep emotion.) A sweet
slip of a girl with clear blue eyes
and baby face, held Samuel Baum
a convention visitor from Water
loo, la,, in most embarrassing
embrace.
“Young lady, you have made
a mistake,” prying himself
loose. ^
“Oh, lam so sorrj, you are
the very image of my dear, dear
daddy,” said the impulsive young
thing as she hastened away to
hide her confusion.
Ten minutes later Baum dis
covered that his wallet contain
ing $100 h ad also departed.
A Snappy Age.
(Kansas City Journal)
The young man breezed into
the old man’s library.
‘ ‘I met your daughter yester
day,” he announced, “and I
want to mary her next Friday
afterno6n at 3:30. She’s will
ing.”
The old man turned to his card
index
“Which daughter” he inquired.
The young man consulted -his
notebook.
“Its Miss Ethel.”
“All right,” said the old man.
“Make it 4:30 and I’il attend the
wedding. I have an engagement
at the other hour.”
It was so ordered. This is a
snappy age.
