A SHORT STORY By HANS HEYERSMANN
The day when ho spoke to her of his
mandate she curtly told him that It
could not take place. He begged, but
the grew angry and so he said no more;
happy, however, that he had at last
succeeded In .picking up enough courage
to tell her, and determined to take the
matter up again. A week later ho
asked once more softly and almost
trembling: "Now, mother, haven't you.

and changed yopr mind?”
The little swarthy Jewess did not
stir. She sat there quietly, her hands
folded as If she had heard nothing.
"Now, mother, haven't you changed
your mind 7”
Still she remained silent. Bitting Im

eyes.
"Aren't you well 7" he asked, quite
worried that she should sit so still and

She shook her head.
“You might at least answer,” he said.
She opened livr eyes and looked

Washington, Dec. 12.—By a vote In
which only seven states cast affirms
ttve votes, the attempt of Senator Bo
rah to Inject an optional presldeqtla
primary feature In the call for 191:

committee this afternoon.
Sub-eommlttco appointed by the ex
ecutive committee to decide upon the
question of'preliminaries returned ma
jority and minority reports when the
full conimlttee reconvened after the
noon recess.
Senator Borah of Idaho unexpectedly
championed the cause of the presiden
tial preference primary on tho floor of
the national Republican committee
meeting in a minority report of the
committee on the call of tho national
convention.
He at first presented a majority re-
ort, saying a call similar In every par-
lelular to that of last year. This re
port was signed by the entire commit
tee. with the exception of Senator Bo
rah and Victor Rosewater, who, while
signing It, reserved for himself a vote
on optional primaries. Mr. Borah then
presented the minority report, which In
effect makes optional with tho state
committee the holding of a direct prl
mary for president.

The
Evening
Newspaper
A canvass of 135 department stores in cities
of more than 75,000 population elicited from
102 the unequivocal opinion that the evening
newspaper is a better advertising medium
than the newspaper published in the morning.
The reason is plain to see.
Six days of every week the morning paper
is read by people on their way to their offices,
and either left in the street car or tossed to
one side in the office. The evening paper is
carried home. The family reads it. Its con
tents are Likely to be the subject of dinner-
table discussion. When her day’s household
labor is ended, the wife sits down with the
evening paper to read the news and search
the advertisements for bargains.
The morning paper is a sort of casual caller.
The evening paper is a visitor, a friend, coun
selor and companion. Its influence is far
stronger with its readers than the influence
of the hastily-scanned morning paper. That
is why it produces so much better results for
the advertiser.
