BRYAN LEXINGTON.

Those who think the free silver feeling
is dying out would have been convinced
Of their error had they seen the crowd
at Lexington Tuesday. Some 10000 or
more Of the most sanguine believers the
sun ever shone on heard the next presi-
dent speak and Il they we're not enthus-
ed their actions counted for nsugtt Ex-
cursion after excursion was run on the
several railroads running into the blue
grass capital and by O'Clock in the
morning the town was crowded. Lex
ipgton knows bow to entertain but the
Bryan crowd wss too big for her. Every
conceivable space was utilized by those
" ho wanted to feed the crowd, but there
were many who did not get more than a
tough sandwich during the day. Ice va.
ter barrels were placed in various parts
of the city and the thirsty democrat
quenched bis thirst at bis will.
At 2:30 Mr.. Bryan and party consisting
of Senator Blackburn, Urey Woodson
and Charles J. Bronston arrived and
when they stepped from the car the
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
"Three cheers for Bryan" went up from
thousands OF tongues and that the un-
terrified meant what they said there is no
doubt. After driving through town Mr..
Bryan and party came to the fair grounds
and for Is minutes after he entered the
speakers stand he was Cheered. Mr..
Bronston introduced him in a well-timed
speech. The great advocate OF free sil-
yer was little hosrse, but his speech
was enjoyed nevertheless. He spoke for
an hour or more and still the crowd was
not satisfied. They wanted more OF the
good gospel and insisted that Mr.. Bryan
continue. After his address Mr.. Bron-
ston spoke for several minutes and was
slso vociierously cheered. During his
speech Mr. Bryan viewed thousand or
more men on horseback. In fact it took
about 20 minutes for them to pass. AT
o'clock the democratic nominee left for
Maysville and at least $1,000 were at the
depot to bid him farewell.

Odd EOwesl Corn.

"a fact well known to farmers is
that the rows of grains on an ear of
corn are always even in number"
said A. d. Catlin of TOlOno Ills.
"There may he s, 10, ~, IA or 1G
rows. but revcr 0, II. 13 or Is. This
fact and the knowledge Of it cost
several men i'll my ncishborhood
very dearly. a farmer who raises
a small crop of corn. and who has
always been regarded as of rather
weak intellect, concluded that he
saw a chance to make some bets.
Early in the season he carefully
scraped from dozenearsOf corn just
formed one Of the rows. The corn
ripened and the remaining rows
grew together SO as to hide the evil
dence of the one removed ever
having existed Then the farmer
offered to bet either that the others
could not on that he could find ears
of corn with odd rows. He had no
trouble i'll setting some very good
bets on the latter proposition, but,
of course. none OH tho first. He
then found the ears he had fixed,
and made as much money on the
dozen ears as lie did OH the entire
crop of corn. Now, any suggestion
of corn with odd rows is provOca-
ton for fight in that neighbor-
hood. "-WashingtOn Star.

A LOVE sronr.

Oh, lay that dreary book away
And list to mech, list to mel
While wanes the purple Of the day
A story will tell to thee.
Lay not tho book away in ruth,
With longing look or Borrowing signs
You know you'd rather read the truth
Within tho iris Of my eyes.
The swift air murmured silver clear
A moment since, ''She comes to thee.
Your pulses told you was near;
So don't pretend you do not see.
My brief, brief story. never rare.
Is only sweet as it Is true.
Oh. don t pretend you do not care,
While all the while you X Eow you do!
For from the why warmth Of spring
A fancy flashed in ruby CLEANS
"You'd teach my heart a deeper thing
Than it had ever dreamed in dreams"
Well, have learned your lesson now
Have Learned it all-oh, look and see--
The sweet, brief lesson in your vow
Ysu said your heart should teach to me.
Men, eager in their quest for power
For famc-to live forevermore,
Will always use vagrant hour
To teach 4 woman loves sweet lore.
The praise Of nations, sounding far,
Acclaim that picrcrs aisle or dome,
Is never dear as voices are
Which tell them they are loved Mt home.
IT'S hardly worth your while today
To look so very, very wise.
You'll lay that dull old book away
To read the story in my eyes,
To list the story on my tongue
The one You wish to hear from me,
The story sweet, III said or sung
/ love but thee! love but thee!

The Westminster Skeleton,

Many stories of mysterious disap-
pearances and tales of the early his
tory of the town of Westminster are
current just now, the finding Of a
skeleton in the south part of the
town being responsible for them all.
One quite generally accepted theory
is that the bones are those of a
woman well advanced in years who
disappeared many years ago. She
lived on this very farm on which the
skeleton was found. DR.. Cannon.
who examined the skeleton when
found. says the description CORE
spends with hers. He also found
in the left side of the skull Just in
front of the ear small round hole
filled with dirt, which may have
been caused by Il bullet. The posi-
ton of the body, together with this
hole, also indicate foul play and il
hasty burial. However, us all par
ties who might have been connected
with the tragedy passed away long
ago, there will probably be no inves-
tigation.

Speaker Reeds congress appro-
priated $5..ooo,ooo more than the
estimated necessary expenses of the
government and made contracts call
ing for $7S.ooo,ooo more. This
graceful liberality doubtless won it
friends somewhere. but it tailed to
pay the bills and neglected to sug-
gest means for paying them. That
business devolves on other congress
es, which also bear the odium of Il
shortage in the national treasury.
The ex-speaker is now booming the
Dingley bill, but that measure it is
generally considered would be a
failure as a revenue raiser; it seems
to have but very few friends any
