A Soft Answer.

Young Sloan was never noted Tor
his perfect breeding, and though as
college student he was sometimes a
trife the worse for late supper, he
never forgot to be true to his code.
On one such occasion, after most de-
termined effort to enter house which
he believed his own, he was met at
the door by the scantily attired master
Of the mansion with information as to
his Whereabouts, and the added news
that the householder had a sick wife
and child upstairs who had been dis
turbed.
Sloan made abject apologies, and
departed but his home seemed to
elude him, and the same irate house
holder was brought to the door by
Sloams knock for admission.
Didn't I tell you this was my house,
cried the indignant man. "And don't
you remember that my wife and child
are i'll ?'

Sloan, sobered for the moment, "and
I merely returned, sir, to ask how they
were getting along.

The last editorial written by Mr..
Bryan appeared on July |, nine days
before he was nominated 1t was an
answer to the charge made by the
Atchison Globe that he had advised
the people to always oppose the bank
ers. The following extract contains
the germ of Mr.. Bryan's argument:
The banker is man, nothing more,
nothing less, and his opinions are entitled
to all due consideration. But no man
should permit another man to do his
thinking for him. There are many
bankers who are sincere and consistent
bimetalliStS. There are others who are
sincere gold bugs. There are some who
advocate the single gold standard when
they do not believe its preservation will
be beneficial to the country, but forrca
sons best known to themselves they adj
here to the advocacy Of that standard.
The opinions of all bankers are en-
titled to unusual consideration because
of their experience in financial matters,
but the banker must be able to back up
his opinion with logic.
Because the banker has had wide eX-
perience in money matters is no reason
| that another man should believe the
| bankers mere statement that black is
white, particularly when the other man
! knows that black is not white.
