To show how MT. Bryan stood some time ago on the question of free coinage of silver we quote him as saying at Jackson, Mississippi, that if the democratic national con vention declared for gold, "So help me God I will die in my tracks be- fore will support it." He fought the fight and won. He is the same man to-day that he was then. He is fighting for the emancipation of the American people. Let us con- tribute our nit to aid him in the great struggle.

 kins, w. A. Rows, Mark Smith, Tom Smith, w. H. Burbage, E. J. Edwards, w. H. Barnes, Gov. Franklin and many others are in the race. Many of these gentlemen, if nominated, would poll the full strength of the democratic party. In the south much opposition is shown to the candidacy of Mark
 Smith by the Barnes and Hughes element of the party and it may de- feat that gentleman's aspirations.

scheme 10 avoid sleeping too long In the

M. and he has discovered that pounding
on the floor has very little effect He en-.
gagged the janitor 10 pound on the door at
a certain hour every morning but it failed
To have the effect after the first two or
three mornings Then he decided to try
electricity.
He was an amateur electrician himself
so it was easy for him TO put bell over
the head of his bed and run wire TO the
door But no ordinary button would do
him He was afraid he would turn over
and 90 20 sleep again as soon as the bell
stopped ringing Consequently he put a
switch on tile outside OF the door and ar.
ranged with the janitor 10 come up and
turn the switch AT a certain hour every
morning That would start the bell ring
ing, and it would not stop until he got up
and turned off the current He was nat
uraily proud OF his device. He felt that
he had solved great problem And he
had There was no sleeping IN that room
after the janitor had turned the switch
for IL was necessary TO get up and cross
the room in order to stop the noise
But he overlooked one thing He made
no arrangement for notifying the janitor
when he was not at home, and the first
night that he failed TO come home there
was trouble The janitor went TO the door
at the usual hour in the morning turned
the switch and then went back to his
quarters in the basement, leaving the bell
in active operation.
Occupants of adjoining apartments were
unanimous in the assertion afterward that
the bell did not shirk its work that morn
ing They did not think much of the bell
anyway, but on ordinary occasions il was
shut off after a few minutes Of active serv =
ice so they had refrained from making
any complaint This time, however, il
continued its business at the old stand for
about half an hour, and they rebelled
One by one they came to their doors to
see what the trouble might be and later
enjoyed themselves by pounding on the
door of the amateur electricians room and
yelling to the supposed occupant to shut
IL off Finding that that did no good
they talked of breaking down the door,
but finally decided TO send for the janitor
and let him do it,
The ianitor came and listened to their
indignant protests. He hardened to them
patiently while they advised him to knock
panel out of the door with an AK Then
he quietly reached up and turned the
switch, while half "a dozen sheepish look
ing men crept back into their rooms
However, one of them evidently came out
again, for when the amateur electrician
returned he found that the switch had
been smashed. Chicago Post

Tho Telegrapher's Ear.

"Any operator who is accustomed to
work by sound with men every day can
tell in an instant just who is working the
key. There Is something peculiar in the
way each operator opens and closes his
key. OF course 1t is entirely a matter of
education Of the ear Another evidence
of the susceptibility of the aural nerves to
education is the fact than an operator can
receive and copy a message and at the
same time distinctly hear and comprehend
everything that is being said by others In
the room He can be very busily engaged
at anything, and yet his ear will take In
everything that is said near him An
other peculiar thing is the fact that teleg
rapher working at night will lay his
head within two inches of working in
strument and sleep as soundly as though
In bed He will not be disturbed in the
least until his own Office call Is sounded
by the instrument That will awaken
him in an instant OF course each sound
is exactly of the same degree of intensity,
and it is only the training of the ear that
causes him to distinguish his office call
when even asleep Philadelphia Times
