The world's greatest political battle Is being fought here la the coliseum. Nation al committeemen of the republican party are pitted against each other nd neither a Taft nor a Roosevelt . man will take an eye off the other. Like pugilists sparring for a place to deliver the knockout, like bulldogs watching for a chance to make the deadly grasp, these committeemen sit nd eye each other, In the lobbies are the colored breth ren from down south each ready to tiame his next baby after the candi date nominated. Detectives for each side spot every one who enters the coliseum and tome chance remark dropped to the lar nf thesA tinman Mnnrlhminrlrt nr ence reaches his favorite campaign iranager.

Some of the iewspaper had guessed that the Cal ifornlan delegates would be thrown out, hut there was never any such in tuition. The delegation was seated us It hud a perfect, right to be. Just as the Oregon delegation, chosen di rectly by the people, will be seated. At this time (Monday afternoon) It does not look as though either Taft or Roosevelt would have a majority of the delegates. The strong talk of a Roosevelt stam pede may be realized, and It may not be, for the Taft men are not expect ing to nominate Taft at least many of them do not think It possible but they do expect to keep Roosevelt from being nominated and thus put up a hew man who is entirely free from the present bitter fight. President Taft, It Is claimed by those who know, at this time believes , he can win. Roosevelt will not talk compromise on a third man. He feels according to his closest manager that he will attract sufficient strength, which ad ded to what he now has, will cause him to win easily. La Follette told the truth when he aald In Oregon "that neither the pres ident nor the ex-presldent would have a majority." He should have added, however, that he and Cummins would hold the balance of power, which to day they undobtedly do hold. Can they retain their forces? This Is an all-Important question In Chi cago this evening. If they can they may be able to decide who shall be i the nominee. In the language of Joe Carr, Chica go as a city Is a "go-getter." It seems that every time one visits Chicago the people are going at a little faster gait. As Walter Pierce has often said "Can we keep up. the pace?" Judg ing from the pace Chicago people are traveling, we of the west must limber our Joints quite a little to keep In hearing distance. The overhead traffic and the sur face traffic seem to contest each oth er for noise and speed. The mad rush grows strong as evening approaches. ai d when one stops for a moment and asks himself, "Why this contlnu ibb hurry, hurry, hurry?" the an swer cornea back plainly written on the shop-girl's face, on the messengn' boy, the department store employe, and It !j told In the two words, "For existence."

It's tbe most fun To play at all that's being dona Br all the big folka in the town Who by our door go up and down. "Let ua play at school today," Or "Let ua play keep bouse." we say. Or we can be queen or king. Fairy, giant, anything! I am sure tt'a much more fun To be many things than one. Oh. how queerly grown (oik playl What they are they have to stay. Youtb's Companion. The Stock Exohange. This game requires a whole paek of cards and can be played by any num ber of persons, who sit In a circle. The leader, taking the curds In bis band, gives tbem out. one by one, to the left banded neighbor, calling out tbe name of tbe card as he does so three times in quick succession. His neigh bor, aa he receives each card passes it immediately to bis next left band neighbor, calling out its name in tbe same manner.- And each one as be re ceives tbe card calls out tbe name three times as be quickly passes It on. Tbe noise and confusion Increases ! with each card banded out and Is sup- posed to resemble tbe sounds beard In l the Stock Exchange when the brokers are calling the names of the stocks , they wish to sell or buy. If the circle Is not large enough for the whule pack to go nronnd the play er at the right of the dealer holds the curds ns they roach him Instead of passing them. Thus the noise gradual ly prows less and finally subsides when all the cards have passed. When a knave appear instead of nam ing It, the holdi-r says. "Il'in, n'm. h'm," ami when au ace is passed cries "Oh, oh. o!i!" Strange Spider's Web.
