called Into requisition In every big
hotel In Chicago during the next

stalled la each hotel and many of
these ceils are to be In the corridors.
"Many of the men who are coming
feir the convention would rather sleep
on a cot In the corridor of a down
town hotel than in a suite In a hotel
lip-town , " explained a loop hotel clerk
yesterday. "They want to be right
on the Riwit , near the various head
quarters and close to the Coliseum.
They call for cots when they find they
can't get anything else. If they want
cots they will get them. There will
e a big cot brigade next week.
Vory's Quick Answer.
"Do Jem know what this convention

Old Drinks , New Names.
Of course the- new drink is in evi

irings a tall glass of buttermilk wltli
( berry in it ; a "Foraker smile" Is a

Irink as yet. Other "specials" art
he "convention bay , " the "Taft win
ie-r" which is taken straight and the
'Southerner's delight , " which Is noth

uade by a real Southern bartender.

"What do you think of the situatioi
oday ? " he was asked.
"Well , " said Warmouth , "If I'm talk

"Well , " he continued , "the bawl
was chasing the woodpecker througl
the nlr and the woodpecker wns ii
bad 'Phe hawk was a big one. Mi
Woodpecker looked the hawk eve
and concluded that resistance wouli
be folly and flight the valorous thiiij
to do. So lie 'flighted' for his hole ii
the tree , the only refuge. As litgo
bis bead In the hawk grabbed the res
of him and cut him in two. As hi
head fell down in the trunk of th
tree the woodpecker said :
" 'Thank you. Mr. Hawk , for Icnvln ,
so much of me. '
"That's the way I feel. "

"I'm just distressed over one thing ,
said Mrs. Taft , as she snuggled u

Must Have Good Indorsement.
Senator Penrose. of tin republican
national committee , who also will lie
one of the delegates from Philadelphia
will be one of the towering figures of
the convention , not only In the cense
of a party leader , but also from the
lac ) that he is six feet two inches in
hcinht. He learned the political game
under Quay , has served his party in
the I'nited States senate for nearly
twelve \ears , and is due for re-election
at the next session of the Pennsyl
vania legislature. There Is but nue
thing that some of his friends hold
up against him , and thai is thnt lie
Is not married. How a stalwart , hand
some man could so long have escaped
Cupid's meshes they cannot under
stand. During a recent campaign It
was suggested that he marry.
"All right. " he replied. "I'll marry
any woman the republican committee
Indorses. "
Hut he Is still single.

Returns From Panama.
Dr. 10. N. Smart of Madison has just
returned Iroin a trip to the Panama
canal. He went by way of Mobile ,
Ala. , and shipped in a fruit steamer ,
| whose captain is a brother-in-law of
ex-County Treasurer Chris Schavland
. In an interview in the Madison Star
Mail the following account of the trip
is given :
From Colon the doctor took the
train for Panama ou the western
' coast. This road parallels the ano !
and on Its line are located about
twenty-live stations It is .1 broad
gauge road and Is operated with mod
ern rolling stock. The trip from Colon
is made In about two hours and thirty
minutes. The stations along Its route
are occupied for the most part by the
forces engaged In work on the cnual.
'Phe re are seven trains n day on this
road and two more are to be added at
an early date. The chief engineer who
has charge of the work on the canal
has n special car and puts in most of
his time running back and forth over
the route- viewing the work and keep
ing things in motion. 'Phe doctor says
in his opinion the dinging of the canal
is a stupendous undertaking and fiat
he had no idea how long it ! s going
to take to complete it. He states that
acres are covered with machinery of
all Kinds consisting of dredges , shovels
engines , dump cars , etc. , which were
abandoned by the DoLesseps of the
French company which first started
to dig the > canal. This machinery la
rusted and rotted nnd for the most
part is a pile of junk , but I'ncle Sam's
forces have resurrected some of the
more Important tools and are putting
them in shape for use.
Panama City Is quite a modern city
and contains about 50,000 people
which consists of a cosmopolitan class
of Inhabitants having many fine public
buildings of marble with a number of
very fair mercantile houses , residences
etc. The city Is also the seat of the
Panama government and hero the
president makes his home. The ex
ecutive mansion is constantly guard
ed by soldiers with fixed bayonets for
there is no telling when an Insurrec
tion will break out and the president's
life Is constantly In danger. He Is
rarely seen on the streets and then
only when accompanied by a heavy
body guard.

THEY LIKE DEPOT SIGNS.
The Returning College Boys Make It
Lively for Station Officers.
Kansas City Star : It was announc
ed last week that three new detectives
had been employed at the Union de
pot. Yesterday afternoon V , I. Dell ,
the depot master , gave an Intimation
of the reason for the additional plain
clothes men.
"Do you see that sign ? " asked Hell.
'Pile curious man looked and beheld :
: LOOK OUT FOH GHIP THlUVliS. :
"Oh , you've been having too much
baggage stolen ? "
'Phe depot master smiled. "Not at
all , " lie said. "It's em account of the
home-coming of the college boys. A
college youth simply cannot resist
'hooking' all the signs he has an oppor
tunity to get. They tell me that's the
llrst thing a freshman 'learns. '
"Now , the signs at the depot here
are not very attractive but hanging
in a boy's room , 1 imagine they'd look
very weird and unique. For instance ,
wouldn't the yennig man's mother be
horrified to sec that one ? " Hell point
ed to where a placard read :
: DO NOT SPIT ON THK FLOOH , :
: TO DO SO MAY Sl'HKAD DISEASE :
"Of course , the college boys Intend
nothing malicious and when they dis
cover we are watching emr signs they
come and make very gentlemanly over
tures. One veiling man offered me $ ; "
feir the 'Grip ' Thieves' sign yesterday
it seems to be the most popular

BEAUTY OF THE ELKHORN.
Dr. Mackay Regrets That There is No
Byron to Sing its Praises.
Norfolk , Neb. , June II' . Editor
News : There is no Byron to sing a
hymn in the vale e > f the Elkhorn. yet
at our door lie scenes of wondrous
beauty , nnd opportunities for outdoor
recreation unrivalled anywhere. What
are the Alive and Arviron , that Byron
immortalized , but blatant mountain
torrents fiettlng a pathway through
the granite tombstones of a land whose
soil has heen sepulchred for ages on
tile depths of the ocean ! What , in
deed , is the lure of the mountain but
a fatuous thing that dissipates energy
in surmounting bleak ocks In a land
of shivering desolation. Perchance
you would seek surcease from the dp-
mentitt Americana in the Utopian
north woods. There , the black files
are a torture by day and the mesquites
infest the tilth t like scourging de
mons. Dismal , In s-omber garments ,
the spruce and juniper fill the gloomy
aisles of the woods and drip moisture
all the day. Torpid and sable ,
through a pathless .stagnation of ooze
and rotting vegetation , the sluugish
streams , vit-led In miasmatic vapors ,
percolate from swamp to swamp in an
interminable wilderness where the
winds are ever held in leash by the
wooding Inertia of the seiliiudes. The
kingdom of health is not there.
Where the breezes riot over fertile
prairies , censers e > f the Incense blown
from fields of corn and new-mown
hay , the Elkhorn Hews in serenest
majesty , through sheltering thickets ,
between green banks , festooned with
vines and enameled with wild llowers ,
an emblem of peace , rest and strength.
Without noise , without hurrying or
loitering it rolls over its bare of
smooth , white sand , a symbol of the
land through which it llenvs a symbol
of vastness , of endurance aud power
in reserve. Here nature outspreads
her noblest panorama , the very es
sence of her spirit in groves and or
chards. In happy homes , scattered far
and wide over illimitable meadows
and fields of waving grain. Truly this
is nature's Biibllmest spectacle a
vast multitude being fed and comfort
ed and cattle grazing on a thousand
hills where once the desert held su-
premost sway and wild beasts and
savage men roamed Its solitudes.
Amid such scenes man reaches his
highest harmony with nature. There
Is that delightful segregation of the
home and Individual Inimical to the
pollution of urban gregariousness. The
gyve's of habits , the- contempt that
familiarity between the sexes Inspires
the craving for unnatural gratification
of nass-iniis an- unknown where blue
skies , and not brick w.ilU , enclose- the
horizon of life And withal , there Is
no iseilaMon no mountain barriers
or swampy moats to contract environ
ment or pervert communication.
