L. ;2dlican Netional Convention' at the Coiiseum in Chicago (Continued from page 2) past—that 1s the picture. After going through the press of the crowds, passing the doorkeepers and threading our way through long mazes to our seats we take In all these de- tails one by one or get their effect in mass. The seats are now rapidly fill- ing. Down in the pit there are a few knots of delegates. Soon there is a salvo of applause as some party leader enters at the head of his delegation. senator. 1 well Xnown goverior or a | popular congressman. Maybe it is | only a state boss. The hour arrives for opening the ses- slon, but still there is no sign of life at the chairman’s table. Perhaps he is engaged in some important caucus or conference. The delegates and specta- tors continue arriving, and the band in- dustriously pounds away at ragtime, marches and national airs. Now the chairman suddenly appears at his place. If it is the opening session he is the chairman of the national com- mittee. His gavel whacks like a dis- tant woodpecker. The hubbub and buzz of conversation gradually cease. This 1s redoubled as another familiar | The chairman announces figure takes his place. Perhaps it is a After all, the one thm that interests YOU MOST is the amount of service, pleasure and satisfaction you get out of your clothes. And that depends, to a large extent, upon the character and policy of the dealer from whom you buy. That’s the reason we are featuring } this guarantee. It's the most tan- gible way we know of to show you our sincerity and desire to have you always remain a satisfied customer of ours.

BEMIDJI, prayer, though we do not hear him, but arise because everybody else does. Possibly we catch some echo of the minister's voice, possibly not. 4f God doesn’t hear him any better than we do the invocation ‘is in vain. Anyway, it is ended, and we are all again seated. Then the secretary reads the call. No body tries to hear this, and the buzz of conversation resumes. Now the temporary organization is announced and the temporary chairman introduc- Photo by American Press Assoclation.

Consequently we can follow him, at least in spots, and. join intelligently in the applause that marks the periods. This is supposed to be a keynote speech, profusely interlarded with praise for our party and abuse of the other, and we cheer both indiscrimi- nately. Coming to the Climax. At the end of the temporary chair- man’s speech confusion reigns again. The various delegations are now an- nouncing their members of the com- mittees on credentials, on platform and on permanent organization. This does not interest us. and we use our eyes instead of our ears. Likewise we use our fan, if we are so fortunate as to have one. otherwise our hat or a news- paper folded fan shape. The later ses- sions vary from the opening one, the excitement gradually mounting. The report of the credentials committee brings a clash of oratory and of vot- ing, the permanent chairman makes another keynote speech, the platform is liberally cheered and adopted after several speeches have been made for and against it, and at last the boards are cleared for action, The hour has come for the nomination of a candi- date for president of the United States. In the Chicago convention the call to order will be made by Victor Rosewa- ter, acting chairman of the national committee since the death of Chair man Hill of Maine. Mr. Rosewater, though a young man. is editor and own- er of the Om:aha Bee. As to the other events of that great gathering up to and including the nomination of the Republican candi- date for president--well, | am not now working at the trade of political prophecy. However, I will hazard just one prediction—there will be a Aght. CHEERING IN THE COMMONS Various Kinds of Applause That Are to be Heard in the British Lower House. The giving of applause in the Brite ish house of commons has attained the dignity of a science. A cheer from a single member is not infrequent, but has little significance unless it comes from an important personage. It is cheering in chorus that constitutes the British demonstration. - The tone of the cheering varies ac cording to the temper of those who cheer. First, there is the hearty, full- volced cheer of genuine approval, re- sounding, awakening the echoes and full of encouragement. Next comes the low, subdued cheer, “gradually spreading along all the benches, indicating the deep-seated agreement that does not seek vocifer- ous or hilarfous expression. This is employed either on solemn occasions or in. moments of pathos or in ac- knowledgment of some confession on the part of an opponent. Ironical cheering 8 often heard in the commons. The tone of sarcasm is always unmistakable. Often it is the greeting accorded to an argument or a statement by an opponent, for the formal denying of which there may not be an opportunity. It is hostile but frequently good natured enough. As an intensification of this there I8 the sarcastic cheer, far sharper and more incisive. Mingled with laugh- ter, it is, from the British standpoint, as disconcerting to the speaker as anything may well be. {All He Wanted Was Just Plain Eggs. A youth entered one of the “ham- ,and-row” cafes on Grand avenue and ordered eggs. “Up or over?” asked |the man behind the counter. “I just jwant eggs,” replied the prospective 'diner. “Bu‘ do you want them up or over?” repeated the waiter, and again the guest asserted that he desired “only eggs.” The third time the party of the second part insisted on his query, whereupon the patron, with a sigh of despair, sald “I guess I'll take [ ltnk."——Kum clty St-r. R e L A N i TR S R S S R S S B il DS T S S R o S SO S N S — About Names. In the days when people and names were fewer than now, families received names that really meant something. They were Bakers and Brewers and Taylors and Chandlers and Wheel- wrights and the like; or else their names described their appearance, or the places in which they lived, or th:e | SN hopes to which they were bred. The 0ld and well-known firm of 1. Catchem and U. Cheatem might come under this head. Nobody knows just when the Christian name was added as a mdre distinctive feature, or why the James and Marias should belong to England, the Mimis and Felicites to France, the Gretchens and Hedwigs to Germany, the Bridgets and Noras to Ireland and the Carlottas and Eulalias to Spain and Italy.
