She wa attending a boarding school, ' and he wa back home plugging along .without doing anything to -aui th tock market to cut up caper. B de cided that ha eould make better prog- . to if he war married, and, feeling satisfied about the girl, he went U talk it over with her father, tha Croeau pf tha village. . " r-,r'v i- "Ton can marry her when yoa have made $100,000," th tra old gentle man is said to have Informed George. Aad thi blow nam U th day whe 100 00 seemed to young White to repi v reaent at least half as mach money a thr waiJa th United Etate trea- arv. - . r Th nitimatum of th father w ac cepted, and, good aportsmaa ; that h proved himself to be, Whit folded hi belonging in a blanket and headed for Bob Serviss Utopia. i wy westward carried him by - th f boarding achool where hi girl waa astudent, and to ; her ha reported ther paternal view of 'the situation and unfolded hi plan to tnak good. - Swthart Eater Protest. . Naturally, she protested, and with mingled affection and youthful buoy ancy expressed a desire to appeal from th decision of her father.

It took him three yean in th "great - unknown? . but in those- three years he multiplied th sum which his prospective father in law had said he must accumulate before marrying hi daughter. ' That is exactly what Governor Cox, Tranklia D. Roosevelt end thousand of' other Democrat expect him fb do on November third next "bring home tha baeon." Ha wa picked from a wealth of material aad with a view of getting tha maa who can put enough "punch" in the organised campaign to keep pace with the drive -toward the White Honsa so well started by Gov ernor Cox. ' Wilson Mad Htm Democrat. Possibly th most ludicrous comment emanating from th Republican camp and directed at tha Democrat! chief is th subtle charge that Chairman dimming was laid en the shelf by the National committee and White chosen to succeed htm in order that Governor Cox might "get from under the Whit Hons blessing of mat 8unday." Th truth is that. White wa picked largely because he Is In "complete ac cord with th view of th President. Tho Whit House is elated over hi election and the President has gener ally been credited with, winning -him over to th Democratic party while h wa a student at Princeton la 1895.
