ITvsentlj, in comes a woman of the street—custom gives anyone the right to enter—unuer her arm an cruse, her hair flowing, her badge ahame on her face. Hu. there s some thing else in her face; it's a look of query; she is looking through the com pany to find some one; and as she nnds the object of her quest, she slips up behind Him. The tears have begun to flow now, and she stands there weep ing profusely. What's the cause of lit Earlier in the evening she had been on ' the outskirts of the crowd that gathered about the Teacher and Healer when He was answering the questions propound ed to Him by Johns c.sciples. She had seen the great power and compassion He had displayed, and finally had beard Him say with tones of tenderest yearn ing. as He stretched out His arms to the people: "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. and learn of Me and ye shall find rest unto your souls, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light." The words were still blaxing in letters of light in her mind. She was just such an one. Some wretch had betrayed her love for him. and then had forsaken her. Her former friends and her family baa cast her out. She had felt there was no hope for her. To keep body and soul together she had been selling herself to the lusts of men, men who would have been ashamed of themselves if they had struck her a blow in the face, but who were killing her more cruelly and surely. She was then nothing but a notorious woman of the streets whom no one re spected or cared for. Her burden was very heavy. The yoke she had been shouldering had well nigh worn her out. When she heard those words of His. however, a faint hope sprung up in her heart. She was sure of the power qf this Man. for she had seen it di»- played. She wondered if His words could Include such an one as herself. At first she felt they could not; but as the' evening shadows had gathered, she screwed up courage enough to seek Him. The life and words of the Man had brought to her heart as never be fore the conviction of her own great sin; and there sprung up a feeling of, gratitude for this faint ray of hope even. She wanted to show her grati tude in some way, so she brought with her a very precious possession that had been given her—-an alabaster cruse of spikenard. A GREAT SAVIOUR. The sight of Jesus reclining there brought again the sense of her shame and sin. and the tears came thick and fast, falling on His feet, as she knelt over them. Then.as she realised it, she took her flowing tresses, not to wipe her eyes, but His feet. His dusty travel stained feet! Breaking the alabaster cruse she poured the fragrant spiKe nard on His feet. washing away thence the stains of her tears. Simon, the host, had been watching her all along. He was incensed that such an woman should dare to put her foot in his house. He was so upright that he could not afford to have her darken his courtyard even. But he was so absorbed in his curiosity over Jesus that he didn't order her put out just then. He had been watching Je sus all along from his seat, the high est at the table Strangely, Jesus had not said anything to the woman. He had turned when the hot tears fell on His feet, had seen whence they came, and had neither moved nor spoken. This puzzled Simon. He had been wondering if this Man could indeed be the prophet for whom all Jews were looking; many things had made him think it true; he had invited Him here to his house to clear things up in his own mind about that; but this incident was a shock to him. Surely he must be mistaken, for if the Man had been the prophet He would have know what kind of woman this was, and would) < ■ , on Wjw’’ y v.fe iff! \i CTS \ii IV Vl fo v\ Wlamb SOcfwrs’fe AMOMTH rn Here Is a Bargain Wctfl'l with order and St centra month boys tnisparloi Lckar.

O. Him. Simon didn't say anything, but his face was a study. Then Jesus spoke. “Simon, I want to ask you something." “Allright," said Simon. “This country you know is full of debtors. Well, a certain man had two. One owed him |SOO. and the other ISO. They got into bad shape, and neither could pay him a cent. So he cancelled the obligations of both of them. Which one will be the most grateful?*' “Why, said Simon. “the answer is almost too simple to de mand reply; the one who had the lar gest obligation removed, of 'course." Had Simon seen the sharp pointed sword in the question, or had he re alized the exquisite art of teaching which Jesus possesses, he might not have answered so glibby. But Jesus "Simon. 1 didn’t say anything when I showed his art then, as ne replied: came in. but I noticed your self right eousness. I noticed the fact that you thought yourself too high and holy to be even commonly polite to me. Your didn't kiss me on either efieek, you didn’t offer me any water for my feet, you didn't anoint my head with oil. “On the other hand, this woman welted my feet with tears of penitence; she hath Mot stopped Mssing them since she came in, and she nad anointed them with the costly spikenard. Her sins are many; but they are forgiven, for she has shown how penitent she is.” Then he turned tu the poor fallen woman—not Mary Magdelen; she is in troduced later—and said to her: “Thy faith (not thy tears, ''thy gift) hath saved thee; go In peacef' Ah, she re ceived what she wanted. She had won dered if those words, “Come unto Me,” could possibly refer to her. She had dared to believe that they did. and had come; and now she knew that they included her. So she left that room with the rest he had promised. What about Simon? Why he was th* greater sinner of the two, but he didn’t know it. But he was not too great a sinner even to overtax the saving power of Jesus. Neither are you. T. R. MEN BACK IN CREDENTIALS ROOM HOPING FAIR PLAY (Continued From Page One.) Francis J. Heney, California; E. G. Car rington, Jr., Maryland; S. X. Way, South Dakota. The committee then seated the two Taft delegates from the Ninth district by a record vote of 34 to 13. The committee then recessed until 2:30 . o’clock. The motion to seat the Taft delegates I was made by Estabrook, of New Hamp shlreland the substitute motion to seat the Roosevelt men by Avis, of New Jer sey. No Exhibition of feeling accompanied the defeat of the Roosevelt resolution. Jesse A. Tollerton, of Missouri, said he had listened to more than two hours of argument without being able to decide how to vote. He later asked permission to register his vote for the Roosevelt contestants. Roosevelt members of the credentials committee agreed In a conference at noon to push only the Arizona, California, ■ Texas and Washington contest cases, 48 delegates in all. They declared these were the most important cases. The agreement was made In the hope of shortening the com mittee’s sessions. , The total number of contests Involved in -the Hadley resolution was 72. and in cluded also 23 delegates from Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ten nessee. - , The poerpect of holding the national convention idle for several days while these were considered, induced Roose velt men to agre to abandon the last gfrasp and center their fight on the others. Mr. Halbert stated that “seven or eight Rooseevlt men had agreed to the plan," and that it would be formally presented to the convention. ALABAMA ROADS WILL DISCUSS HIGH RATES (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MONTGOMERY, Ala.. June 18.—Of ficials of the state and officials of the Western Railway of Alabama and the Central of Georgia will hold a confer ence Tuesday in the' office of Gov ernor O’Neal for the purpose of dis cussing the rate situation.

HUGHES AND HADLEY DARK HORSE TICKET SIHS M SMITH Taft Forces Are Hoping to Prevent Bolt by Withdraw ing Taft but Retaining Con trol of Convention (BT BAX.PH SMITH.) CHICAGO, June 20.—"irughes and Hadley." That Is the straight tip on the presidential ticket that seemed to find favor among the delegates last night' It Is alliterative and leaders be lieve they could win with It. Justice Hughes' record as governor of New York Is such that the leaders believe he could command the support of both the progressive and conservative wings of the party. Hughes is acceptable to the regulars, not so much on account of his achievements as because of his loy alty to President Taft. He has stead fastly refused to oppose the president for the nomination. Governor Hadley might be acceptable for the head of the ticket, except for the fact that he has been a leader of the antl-Taft forces. The regulars are determined that no man who has fought the president shall have the nomination If they can help it. They are willing, however, that Hadley shall tall the ticket, and this place they are willing to give to the progressives as a sop. According to a leading regular Re publican, the/ plan is to demonstrate to the country and convince the progres sives that the organization is still in tact, notwithstanding the assaults. They propose to, do this by organizing the convention and sustaining the na tional committee in every particular. After the progressives have been steam rollered into submission through re peated defoats on roll calls, the regu lars will treat with them and dictate terms, conceding only the withdrawal of Taft’s name. All of this beautiful plan of the progressives is built on the theory of no bolt. If the progressives make good their threat to quit the regular organization and nominate Roosevelt, or some other candidate at a rump gathering, then, of course, the plan of the regulars will fail and President Taft will be renominated. The regular leaders feel this morning that they have already convinced the progressives that Roosevelt cannot pos sibly -be nominated nad that they are strong enough to do as they please. WHAT HAPPENED WEDNESDAY. The developments the second day of the Republican convention did not help to clarify the situation very much. The most impressive feature of the day was the Hadley demonstration. It over shadowed everything else and brought the young athletic governor of Missouri forward as a prominent “dark horse.” . The enthusiasm for Hadley seemed spontaneous. The demonstration came without warning; it was not confined to the galleries. It Infected the delegates. The progressive element of the party was glad enough to seize the opportu nty; their action was taken to mean that they are perfectly willing to take Hadley or a mxh of his stripe if they cannot get Roosevelt. While it seems possible that the progressives may ac complish the defeat of Taft for re nomination, there has been no develop ment that would indicate that Roosevelt can land the nomination. In none of the tests has his cohorts developed strength enough to justify the belief that he will be nominated. Only a genuine stampede would put over Roosevelt. Even then the chances are that the enthusiast would be confined to the galleries and not affect the delegates. There was an Incident yesterday that bears out this belief. After the Hadley demonstration had raged for an interminable time, a woman in the gallery, as if by prear rangement, unfurled a Roosevelt banner, bearing an excellent likeness of the colo nel. She waved this and finally she ex cited *he galleries. Men and women join ed In the cheering. The Hadley demon stration had been checked. Most of tl;e delegates had become calm again. A few states rallied around the Roosevelt ban ner. A majority of them remained in active. The enthusiasm for Roosevelt was in the galleries for the most part. SPEECHES ALL POOR. The convention has been surprising ly free of enthusiastic outbursts. Bsft - - rlng the aforementioned Hadley demon stration, neither the galleries nor the delegates have b*en moved to display very much zeal. The speakers from Temporary Chairman Root, down and up the line, have been a disappoint ment. The convention has developed no orator. Job Hedges, of New York, made the best impression in seconding the nomination of Root. for temporary chairman. Sereno Payne made a fail ure on the platform in defending the national committee. Jim Watson, of Indiana, did little better. Governor Hadley’s speech was commonplace, though his presence is commanding. He is tall, erect, clean-cut, slender and young. He Is a fighter, and It was doubtless his willingness to fight that popularized him with the delegates. Senator Root made an able speech In accepting the temporary chairmanship, but very few persons heard it. The senator It unfortunate In having a weak, squeaky voice. He has a great mind, but he lacks the capacity of speech. Ex-Senator Hemmlnway, of Indiana, made a fairly good impression. The Roosevelt people made a mistake in allowing Bill Flinn, of Pittsburg, to show himself. Neither his speech nor manner made a favorable impression. He looked like his name. Gov. Hiram Johnson and Frances J. Heney, of California, should have been muzzled by the Roosevelt people. They were dismal failures and neither added to his reputation by appearing on the platform. They look like trouble makers, and their actions were in keep ing with their looks. Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, would have done better had he not addressed the convention. He was put forward by the Taft people, and was grilled for his Lorimer vote. William Jennings Bryan has had a great time reporting the convention. He has been given an ovation every day and has enjoyed the applause. WAYCROSS WILL OPEN GOVERNMENT BUILDING WAYCROSS.

(Copyright, 1912, by The Associated Newspapers.) CHICAGO, June 20.—1 t is lust is I had always suspected. Political con ventions are arranged by men. They do all the heavy brain work such os keeping out the plain, unvarnished old parties from the remote voting pre cincts and decorating the galleries with the families of our really nicest people and splitting parties with neatness and accuracy. They do all the speechmak ing and all the voting, from what I have heard this week, a good deal rtore voting than is healthy in some cases, but when a real crisis comes up In a political convention, woman, as usual, has to step In and take charge. There was that Hadley yell yester day, for Instance. It was a beautiful yell and everybody loved it, for Mr. Hadley is a sterling young man who looked far too good to mingle with a dark and dreadful national committee. As I was saying, everybody lovd this young yell, and wished It good luck, but in less than ten minutes after it was bom you could tell with one ear that it wasn’t going to up.

Strong men took off their coats and tried to revive It but their efforts were vain. A perfectly go->d yell Which might just as well grow up and make a president was dying away, when a woman, one of those creatures who do not know enough to vote, snatched it up and saved IL SHE SAVED IT. I am perfectly sure last night was a grand evening in the hotel or on u.u street where Mrs. Davis Ilves.

He wouldn’t have increased the enthusiasm by two “wyeeeoops” which seems to be the standard noise to make in a convention hall. No, it took a woman, a pretty wom an, a graceful woman, who could spread a picture out so appealingly as to draw cheers from the very vest pocket of a scowling opponent of our great public liberties, or am I getting the liberties on the wrong side? Anyway, please remember that a convention yell with out a woman is just a yell and nothing more. It takes a woman to put ro mance, server and picturesqueness in it. GUYING GOES BEST. Still for all that, the men do cer tainly show improvement The 1912 model husband is surely a street run ner. Do you notice how quickly he is getting on. The old stuff does not go. The old-fashioned orators at the conven tion found that out today. The man who “I have come two thousand miles to say this to you,” got, “Well, now, you’ve said It, go home.” The man who folds his arms and looks dramatic gets only a horse laugh, and when the silver tongued orator with the pompadour voice from the bright southland un buckled his prayer meeting voice he was greeted with, "Amen,” from all over the congregation. There is one thing we girls like about Henry Allen, the hairless Mexican- Kansas man who jollied himself Into the good graces of the convention and then dumped sample packages of his progressive ideas in the front hall, Hen ry Allen guys the whole oratorical crowd in his talks. When he show’s his line he doesn’t pretend It Is the only lino In the mar ket, but he does give a guarantee that it will work and he has one of the nicest little side lines in smllettes that tlrS trade has seen for years, it is a dimpled little smilette, with a girlish dewlap under its chin that is being worn a great deal in our leading hotel sets. MAMMA LOST HER SHOE. Henry made a hit with all the good old girls in the galleries whose shoes hurt, and half of them applauded him without realizing which side he was on. An awful thing happened to mamma from Springfield today. Just before the cheering mamma slipped her shoe off, the right foot, and no one noticed it, and when the gallery went mad, mamma went mad, too, and getting up, she forgot her shoe. Well, you know mam ma, when she gets started there’s no stopping her. If she didn't z tromp around and kick that shoe over into the next row, and forgot all about it, and—well, mamma went home in a taxi and had it charged to the room.
