(By “Doc™] And some mean cussis wicked enough to say that Mr. Bryan is so in the habit of running for office that he walks in his sleep. Once in a while, Chicago, the city of wind, does something appropri- ate. It has planned to hold an in” ternational balloon race on July 4. That Pensylvania state capitol architect who has secured a separate trial that he may throw the blame on others is plainly a designing chap. Charles G. Dawes, former comp- troller of the currenc‘y, is said to be about to give up banking in order to write music. His name at the bot- tom of a check has a sweetly celes- tial sound as it is. A Crookston minister asserts that young men hesitate to propose mar- riage because they lack “sand.” The reverend gentleman has mixed his metaphors. Most young men hesitate at the door of matrimony because they have not struck ‘“pay dirt.” The St. Paul Roosevelt club will holda “harmomy” meeting under the auspices of the club on Monday evening, February 10th, when Dunn, Jacobson, Young, Eberhardt, and other aspirants for the republican gubernatorial nomination will be present and address the audience on their candidacy, for the purpose of bringing about tkat much-desired result, ‘“harmony.” It is under- stood that disarmament before en- tering the meeting is one of the essential requirements of all who accept the invitation; and the long knives will be retunred to their re- spective owners at the conclusion of the lovefeast. S —— How to Get Poor Quick. Do not try to save your loose change. It 18 too small an amount to put in the savings bank. It would not amount to much anyway, and there is great com- fort in spending it. Just walt until you get sufficient worth while before you deposit it. Do not try to economize. It is an in- fernal nuisance to always try to save a few cents here and there. Besides, you will get the reputation of being mean and stingy. You want everybody to think you are generous. Just look out for today. Have a good time as you go along. Just use your money yourself. Don’t deprive your- self for the sake of laying up some- thing for other people to fight over. Besides, you are sure of today. You might not be alive tomorrow.—Success Magazine. When Religion Called. In his book “Work In Great Citles” the bishop of London writes: “You have often not only to learn, but to practice, what may be described as the foot and door trick. It is rulnation to the boot and sometimes hurts the toe, but it consists In rapidly, but quickly, passing the foot in the moment the door Is opened In order to secure, at any rate, a few minutes’ parley.” As to what ma¥ happen he writes: “After long hesitation It will be opened by a little girl about half a foot, and then you will hear a distant voice from®the wash tub in the rear, ‘Well, Sally, who is It? Then Sally will answer at the top of her voice, ‘Please, mother, it's religlon’ You will require all your presence of mind to cope with that.” The time came, however, when every door was thrown wide open to. wel- come “our bishop.”—London Christlan Globe. Why the Sun Sets. Little Jack asked his mother one night why the sun set so often. She told him that it might rise in the morn- Ing. This seemed a useless reason, and Jack hunted for another. At last he said: “Oh, I know, mother. The sun sets 8o that she can hatch all the days.”— ‘Washington Star. Came With a Shock. Harold (after the fateful question had been put and answered)—Did I surprise you, dear? Maud—Surprise me? You paralyzed me! 1 gave up the idea two years ago of your ever having spunk enough to propose.—Chi- cago Tribune. - R~y OPINION OF MR. BRYAN. President’s Latest Message Needed at Present Time. Wilmington, Del, Feb. 3.—Willlam Jennings Bryan issued a statement hearing on the president’s special message to congress. In prefacing the statement he said he recognized the moral courage of Roosevelt in fight- ing against the opposition he has to conteud with. Referring to the Wall street methods, the speaker sald it wonld be a safe bet that after the president’s message the financlers would see that they could place no de- rendence on Roosevelt as a friend of the system. His statement on the president’s message, in part, follows: “It is a brave message and needed at this time. All friends of reform have reason to rejoice that the presi- dent has used his high position to call attention to the wrongs that need to be remedied. He has discovered the running sore in our national life. He has pointed out the corrupting -in- fluences: that flow from predatory wealth and from the monopolistic en- terprises which have given unearned riches to the few who by controlling the great industries of the nation have levied tribute upon the whole country. “Its warnings are entirely in har- mony with the warnings which Demo- crats have been uttering for more than a decade and I hope that the Democrats in the senate and the house ‘will promptly challenge the issues that have been presented by the president.” FIVE PERSONS INJURED. Colligion of Trains on Minneapolis and St. Louis Road. ' Waterville, Minn., Feb. 3.—A rear end collision occurred in the Minneap- olis and St. Louis yards in this city between the Twin City local and the North Star limited and five persons were seriously injured. The first train, which was behind time, stopped to fix a hot box and the second train, running on time, crashed into it. The rear coach of the first train and the engine of the second were heavily damaged; but the track was soon cleared and the trains went on except one sleeper, which had to be sidetracked. Peasants and Troops Clash. Kazan, Russia, Feb. 3.—Ten resi- denis of the village of Podberezia, Ka- zan province, were killed and the ad- ministrative chief of the district was wonnded in a collision which occurred between lawless peasants and govern- ment troops on Jan. 30. The trouble originated among the peasants. Troops were sent in to restore order and the chief of the district went with them. The punishment inflicted is considered ample and no further rioting is an- ticipated. Will Close Their Plants. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Feb. 3.—The shipbuilders on the northwest coast have given notice that the services of all workingmen will be dispensed with on Feb. 15. This action is an outcome of the strike inaugurated Jan. 22, the men refusing to accept a re- duction in wages. The employers de- clare that a reduction was necessary owing to the depression in the fin- dustry. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. The French government has decided definitely to recall M. Bompard, the French ambassador to Russia. A. H. Sheidon, for many years a prominent Republican politician and a leading business man of Janesville, Wis., is dead of a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Sheldon was seventy years old. At Ban Francisco, Abe Attell, cham- pion featherweight of America, gave Frankie Neil such an unmereiful beat- ing that the latter's seconds threw up the sponge in the thirteenth round.

Glve children plenty of pure sugar, taffy and butter scotch and they'll have little need of cod lver ofl, says. Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Woman's Home Companion. In_ short; sugar is, after meat, bread and" butter, easily our next most important and necessary food. You can put the matter to o test very easily. Just leave off the pie, pudding or other desserts at your lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as- tonished to find how quickly you'll feel “empty” again and how “unfin- ished” the meal will seem. You can't get any workingman to accept a din- ner pall without ple In it. And he’s absolutely right. The only thing that can take the place of sugar here is beer or wine. It is a significant fact that the free lunch counters run in connection: with bars furnish every imaginable thing except sweets. Even the restaurants and lunch grills at- tached to saloons or bars often refuse to serve desserts of any sort. They know their business! The more sugar and sweets a nan takes at a weal the less alcohol he wants. Conversely, nearly every drinking man will tell sou that he has lost his taste for sweets. The more candy a nation con- sumes, the less alcohol. Tho Mayor of Berlin. One of the principal requirements of a mayor in Germany is unqualified hon- esty, for in the municipal administra- tion of Germany graft in any form ‘would not be tolerated. To become the moyor of a city like Berlin the ap- plicant must have established his repu- tation for efficiency in governing other German cities. His career is carefully scrutinized by the members of the town council who select-him, for not only must he be competent and suc- cessfully perform the duties of his high position, but still so young as likely to remain competent for many years, for a mayor in Prussia is elected for a term of twelve years and if not re- elected after that period s entitled to a life pension of half the amount of his salary. After a service of six years" his pension is one-fourth of his salary and after serving twenty years two- thirds. He need not necessarily be a resident of Berlin at the. time of his appointment—in fact, the mayor is usu- ally chosen from the residents of other cities. Culture In West Africa. Culture and commerce are spreading in west Africa. A merchant sends us the following letter, received from a chief: “Dear Gentlemens!—I made my Step to the house of a certain amable friend of mine for invitation and wich our attention highly attracted by taken coloquy for a few minutes.

Young Jack Tabbs has only been in the navy for a few months, but there is not a more enthusiastic sea dog in the whole of his majesty’s service. He recently made application for and re- cefved the usual leave and proceeded to London and his mbther’s house. Mrs. Tabbs lives on the third floor of a house in Camberwell, and when he arrived at her address he stood in the doorway and bawled up the stairs: “Mother, aloft there! Jack’s come home! Open the window!” “Why, Jacky, my dear,” cried the old lady from the landing, “whatever’s wrong with the stairs?” “Stairs!” cried the weather worn tar, with ineffable contempt. “What do 1 know about stairs? Just you open the window and lower a rope to the main deck, and be quick about it!"— London Express. A Possibility. 0ld Nancy Doane was noted for the striking originality of some of her ex- pressions. One day she was talking about the utter inanity of another old woman in the neighborhood, and she sald: “I never see her beat! She'll lop down in a cheer, an’ there she’ll set an’ set an’ set, doin’ absolutely nothin’ fer hours an’ hours, day after day. 'Pon my soul, I sh’d think she’d mildew!” Even Worse. He—Darling, don’t you know that it is unlucky to postpone a wedding? She—I can’t help that. My dressmak- er is {ll, and I'm afraid it would be more unlucky if T were to go and get married before having all the clothes I want made while my father is still willing to pay for them.

What she wants is Dodged the Muatard Pot. ™ ™~ During the rehearsals of a panto-: mime in a Scottish town (Glasgow, I think; Glasgow has always been an eventful place to me!) a child was wanted for the Spirit of the Mustard Pot. 'What more natural than that my father should offer my services? I had a shock of pale yellow. hair, I was small enough to be put into the prop- erty mustard put, and the Glasgow stage manager would easily assume that I had inherited talent. My father had acted with Macready in the stock seasons both at Edinburgh and Glas< gow and bore a very high reputation with Scottish audiences. But the stage manager and father alike reckoned ‘without their actress! When they tried to put me into the mustard pot I yelled lustily and showed more lung power than aptitude for the stage. “Put your child into the mustard pot, Mr. Terry,” said the stage manager. “Hang you and your mustard pot, sir,” sald my mortified father. “I won’t frighten my child for you or any one else.” But, all the same, he was bitterly dis- appointed at my first dramatic failure, and when we reached home he put me in the cormer to' chasten me. “You'll never make an actress!” he sald, shak- Ing a reproachful finger at me.—Hllen Terry in McClure’s Magazine. Preferred the Baby’s Volce. -A New York scientist, the father of a large and growing family, has his troubles. One evening his youngest was holding forth in her best style. The mother could do nothing with the child, so the man of science went to the rescue. “1 think T can quiet little Flora,” he said. “There’s no use humming to her real music. The fact that I used to sing in the glee club at Yale and sing well, too, may make a difference.” Accordingly, the professor took the child and, striding up and down the room, sang in his best manner. He had not finished the second verse of his song _when a ring was heard. The door was opened, and there stood a girl of fourteen, who sald: “I'm one of the family that’s just moved into the flat" next to yours. There's a sick person with us, and he says, if it's all the same to you, would you mind letting the baby cry instead of singing to it?’—Success. A Considerate Musician. Many stories are told of the jealousy and il feeling among musicians, so it 18 refreshing to note that at least-one genius did not fail in good natured ap- preciation of a fellow artist. It is re- lated how Rossini, walking one day on the boulevard with the musician Bra- ga, was greeted by Meyerbeer, who anxiously inquired after the health of his dear Rossini. “Bad,” answered the latter. “Fright- ful headaches, legs all wrong.” After a few minutes’ conversation Meyerbeer passed on, and Braga asked the great composer how it happened that he had suddenly become so un- well. Smilingly Rossinl reassured his friend. “Oh, I couldn’t be better. I merely wanted to please Meyerbeer. He would so0 llke to see me go to smash!”—St. Louls Republic. Why They're Trams Abroad. “Abroad,” said a tourist agent, “you must call street cars trams and street railways you must call tramivays. If you speak of trolleys over there, you won’t be understood. The word tram must puzzle the average etymologist. It derives from a man’s name—Outram —Thomas Outram. Outram lived in Derbyshire, and in the beginning of the last century he Invented a.peculiar sort of track that diminished the frie- tlon between wheels and roadbeds. These tracks of Outram’s, though noth- Ing like a trolley track, were called first outramways, then tramways, and ‘when street lines and street cars came Into existence they were dubbed re- spectively tramways and trams.” A Crocodile In a Tree.

Clyde Johnson; living at 1014 Bemidji Ave., Bemidji, Mina., says: I had been feeling very miserable for some time and I was enduring a great deal of suffering from kidney complaint. There was d pain in my back and during the early part of the day I felt languid and tired out, and the soreness caused me great discom- fort. I decided to try a reliable kidney remedy and went to The Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them according to directions, soon the pains "disappeared and that tired, languid feeling van- ished.
