...with a letter from the Empress Catherine, announcing she intends to pay an unceremonious visit. A handsome young guardsman arrives as the Empress's vanguard and immediately begins to flirt with the girl Princess, whose imagination is stirred by the golden book. The husband intervenes, and a grotesque duel is cut short by the appearance of the Empress with one lady-in-waiting. The husband finds the latter's middle-aged charms so much more to his taste than those of the willful child he has married that the course of true love would undoubtedly run smooth were...

He is known as a specialist in Southern delegates, and there should be a keen duel between him and C. Bascom Slemp for the delegations from the South? although there will not be so much to quarrel over since the Southern delegations have been cut (TIME, Sept. 24). Not in idle fun was he called an "astute broker of delegates...
...field to a fairly dry spot, while the two teams mopped the mud from their faces. With the exception of Lee's 15 yard run neither team had been able to display its new formations. On account of the rain and mud the game had degenerated into a punting duel...
