Kansas City. July 17-William ].
Bryan. with his wife and family. re-
sumed his journey to Lincoln. Neb.,
this morning, leaving the city over the
burlington road on the regular 1910
passenger train. A hard rain was fall
ing and few people were on hand to see
the distinguished guests depart. The
train will reach Lincoln about s
o'clock. The trip promises to be un-
eventful. as 1t Is raining hard along
the route In Missouri and Kansas.

station between Kansas City and St
Joseph crowds of citizens cheered Bry-
an. He shook hands with the enthu-
siastic people. At 1880 the train
reached St. Joseph. where between six
and seven thousand people were at the
railway station. A. ]. Enright. DIR. 7.

Cochran, editor Of the St. Joseph Ga
zette, escorted Bryan to the platform
erected for the candidate to speak
from. The crowd cheered with marvel
GUS enthusiasm. Bryan said:
Ladies and gentlemen-I believe this
Is a larger crowd than we had when
We had our silver meeting here last
November i don't know whether to
regard 1t as an evidence that curiost
tty has increased or as an evidence
that the silver cause has grown since
last November. (Applause). I have
been very much satisfied In the inter-
est the people are taking in this cam
paign. / am not vain enough to as
sumo that these demonstrators are
intended as personal compliment
(voice, yes, they are"). but rather as
an indication that the respect we find
in the hearts of the American people
for our government and those who for
the time being stand as the representa-
tives Of our government and those who
for the time being stand as the repre-
sentatives of our government and
those who aspire to positions of prom
inence in the administration of that
government. / say 1t is sign of that
respect for the government and. my
friends, whenever / think of the gov
ernment l think of the words of An
drew Jackson. that there are no nee
essary evils in a government, that its
evils exist only in its abuses. The gov
ernment, when II is what 1t ought to
be, when 1t is what the people desire 1t
should be, Is a blessing without alloy,
and IL Is our duty as citizens to compel
love of our government by every citi-
zen by making the government so good
that the people will not only love 1t but
be willing to lay down their lives that
II may be perpetuated to posterity.
(Applause). When we declare against
some law as unjust, when we criticse
a policy 1t must be considered as an at
tack upon the government, and yet
there are some who would denounce
every person who seeks reform and
every person who seeks to change a
bad CUSTOM"

THE WISE LITTLE SCHOLAR.

The wisest Of my scholars IL . gentle little
maiden,
Who looks at life and learning with pair of
soft blue eyes;
She has an answer ready, with deal Of logic
laden,
And solves all knotty questions and problems
as they rise.
We were learning. in geography, Of surface
elevations
"Can you tell me what relief maps aref"
asked the little class.
! Iexpected only hanging heads and verbal hesi-
tations,
But the wisest little scholar couldn't let q
question pass.
"If you please, SIR" said she joyously-with
pride her cheeks were burning
To think that she could answer when the
others couldn't do it
"a relief map is a map you've been q awful
time a-learning,
And you're awful tired of it, and you're SC
glad to get th'oo it"

clasped Hands and Character.

Just clasp your hands quickly. Don't
stop to do it with intent. Clnsp them.
How did you do itf II you aro a woman,
naturally you clasped them with the left
thumb outside the right, and the fingers
as interlnoed were nearer you than the
right one; that is, beginning with the
digit nearest you, thumbs and fingers
would be arranged In this order: Left
thumb, right thumb, left foreanger, mid
die right fore1nger, middle left finger,
middle right finger, third left finger, third
right finger, little left finger, little right
finger.
II you are the man who absolutely DOM
mates a woman, then tho order was pre-
cisely reversed. Where the order Of thumbs
and fingers read left, in describing the or
der of the masculine fingers 1t would be
right.
IF the man should be classed under the
popular term Of "henpeoked," he will
clasp his hands just as the woman does,
with the left thumb nearest him and the
fingers interlaced In the same order.
This funny fad arrived In Washington
In the brain of an Indiana young man 4s
hours ago. He brought 1t at some previ-
Gus date from Europe. In 48 hours sever
al hundreds of men and women have been
asked to clasp their hands, At Nine.
Yang's reception groups of women stood
around clasping and unclasp:ng their
hands and wondering why they were do
Ing SO and what 1t meant. At other recep-
tions the same sight was seen, until any
one who wasn't in the secret might have
imagined Washington had beon suddenly
struck with devotional attitude.
No explanation comes with the simple
little test Only 1t is said that In mar
ried couple the one who in clasping hands
and interlacing fingers brings the right
thumb nearest the body, with the right
fingers correspondingly placed In relation
to the left fingers, will bo the dominant
member of that couple.

TEE Toledo Bee, now independent
in politics, offers the following ad-
vice to those holding extreme opin-
ions on the money question: "The
i'll temper shown and passionate lam
guage used by many of the extremists
in the discussion of the financial ques-
ton, Is injurious These people should
understand that the public generally
recognize that invective begins where
argument leaves of. and that the free
use of phrases which reflect upon the
motives or honesty of opponents only
arouses and inculcates prejudice and
cannot serve any good purpose. 1t
Is a business proposition with which
sentiment has nothing to do, and the
effort of speaker and writers to pre-
judice the minds of the ignorant and
unthinking by applying such terms as
silver cranks, gold bugs, hirelings,
is reprehensible and beneath the sub
ject with which they are used in con-
nection. Every person has q right
to lis opinion, but when he must use
language not becoming to a gentle
man he had better keep still and use
his feeble talents in some other direc.
ton where less common sense is nee
essarY."
