"Chappie" Jonas took his friend
Charles Clarke, of England, six miles

bus and driving back to town. At 2
o'clock this morning a searching party
went back and found "Chappie" lost
in the woods. They brought him
back, and he will never take another
"blarsted Britisher" out on a Ken
lucky snipe hunt.

canvassing expenses of the candi-
date operated we'll in England and
went to the root of the matter. Ohio
has just passed a law compelling
the candidate under oath to answer
to the amount he has spent.
The exercise of the franchise was
by some advised to be made COM
pulsory duty.
There is much in these words of
Rev. Joseph Cook:
"There is an independent party
coming into existence, and the pre-
diction is not improbable that the
next president may give us a re-
generated and purified republican,
ism. 1 have every hope that we
shall conquer certain evils of suf-
frage. I want five guarantees for
it's safety: 1. A heightened news
paper press, independent of party.
2. A thorough-going common
school system. 3. An aggressive,
omnipresent church. 4. Civil
service reform in it's best shape. 5.
Compulsory suffrage"
And this also from A. T. Rice:
"That reform is imperatively de-
manded in the interest of pure gov
eminent, no one can deny. Why is
it that 80 many of our best men de-
cline to seek the suffrages of the
people? Because our methods are
corrupt and degrading. Plato held
that persons who should be sought
out to be invested with political
power are those who are personally
most averse to it-a sentiment re-
echoed by Thomas Jefferson in his
familiar declaration that the office
should seek the man, not the man
the office. The best men can be
generally called into the public
service only by the publication of
our present system; by rendering
personation, bribery, counting out,
and "trading" impossible through
methods which secure faithful re-
turns. It is needless to outline such
a scheme The Australian and
English systems, with suitable
modification, most form the basis |
of radical remedy. With the will
the way will OPEN"

BRYAN'S DENIAL.
Eeply to the Charge That lie WAS In tite
Fay Of SILVER Mine Owners.

Fay Of SILVER Mine Owners.
UrpER RED HOOK, n y, Ang. 49,
William Jcnnings Bryan, for the first time
fince Senator John NJ Thurston, as al
Legged declared him in the employ Of mine
owners, made an official denial, coupled
with a challenge to the national Repub-
lican committee to como out in the open
nd accuse him or forever bc silent Mr..
Organs attention had boon called to the
controversy between Senators Thurston
Ind Stewart and he determined to settle
the matter il possible He therefore de-
mands an open charge, which he says he
will refute with details of his private life
and his financial affairs or silence. Ho
said:
Il have already denied this charge on
several OCCASIONS but the reiteration of IL
by Senator Thurston, a distinguished res
idcnt OF my own state iustiies me in an
swering it again. 1 have never mt any time
OF under any circumstances been in the
| employ of any mineowners, individually
or collectively, directly or indirectly, nor
have ever been In the employ of or paid
/ by any bimetallic league association.
/ Aside from my editorial salary of about
/ $3.50 per month paid by the Omaha World
Herald and a small amount derived from
the legal profession, my income since my
/ retirement from congress has been derived
entirely from lectures before Chautauquas,
| lyceum and lecture bureaus, which have
| usually paid me fixed sum, and from con-
/ tributions made by the people Of the local
tiles where 1 have spoken. In some in
stances / have received nothing at all. In
most cases 1 have received more than
enough TO pay travelling expenses. In only
two instances, think. has my compensa-
tion exceeded 800, and those instances 1t
was about $500 at once place and about $500
at the other. The first platform on which
1 ran for congress, in 1890, before l was
known politically outside Of my state, con-
tained a free coinage plank, and my Repub-
lican opponent that year was an advocate
of free coinage.
"In the campaign Of 1892 again ran
OH q free coinage platform. In 1894
again ran on free coinage platform, and
my opponent for the senate, Mr.. Thurston,
while opposing unlimited coinage at 10 to
/, insisted that he favored bimetallism.
l wrote the free coinage plank on which l
ran in 1890 and the free coinage planks
in the Nebraska state platform in 1891
1894 and 1896 and tried TO secure the
adoption of free coinage planks In the statI
platform in 1892 and 1898. l only mon
ton this to show that my advooacy OF fret

According TO information given by q
German officer, an experiment was recent
ly made in Europe to determine what color
in a soldiers uniform is the least conspio-
uous TO an enemy. OF ten men two were
dressed in light green uniform, two in
dark gray, two in green two in dark blue
and two in scarlet All were then ordered
TO march off, while q group Of officers re-
mained watching them. Tho first 20 dis
appear in the landscape was the light gray,
and next, surprising as it may seem, was
the scarlet. Then followed the dark gray,
while the dark blue and the green re-
manned visible long after all the others had
disappeared. Experiments in firing at blue
and red targets, according to the same au-
thority, proved that blue could be more
easily seen at a distance than red st.

London Three Hundred Years Ago.

1t is with difficulty that London life 300
years ago can be imagined, and London
itself has changed as much as the life of
her people In those days it was no exag-
geration to speak Of silver footed Thame-
sis. F" The river was place for bathing
fishing and boating. Hundreds of water-
mon piled between the city and the south
ern bank. Old St Paul's dominated the
city and provided a recognized but insult
able meeting place for business men and
pleasure seekers. It was the customary
promenade for citizens and courtiers, sol
diers and poets, the fashionable and the
disreputablo worlds. The citizen lived
over his shop with his family and appren-
tices The city wOs the center Of an ami
mated and gayly oolorcd bfe. In afternoons
there were the performances at the thea
ters on the hankside, the Globe the Hope
the Rose, the Swan and Paris Garden, all
Of which were in the neighborhood Of
Southwark, ana might be reached either
by old London bridge or by taking one Of
the crowd OF small boats that were in at
tendance. The traffic between the city and
the theaters was the mainstay of many OF
these water1nen, and when, owing to the
prevalence of the plague, the playhouses
were closed, tho loss of custom naturally
affected them severely. There isn curious
petition extant at Dulwich college, in
which the "servantes and plaiers' of Lord
Strange bescech the privy council 90 with

and this Is made one OF their pleas
And for that the use OF our plaiehowse

Making Beds.

The practice of having beds made in the
early morning, though exceedingly tidy, is
one which should not bo encouraged, for II
is bad Constantly we sec a bed made half
an hour after the sleeper has left the room,
wherefore all the exhalations from the
skin during the night are confined beneath
the sheets and are inhaled again when the
bed is next used. Tt is an excellent prac
tice and one which ought TO be encouraged
in all young people TO turn off the clothes
of the bed Immediately on rising. Tn,
mattress, too, should be turned back, 81
that all may be properly aired and quit'
cold before being remade.
