Mr.. Hannah favored for the Office poll
tician Ia search of information met Mr.. Hanna
on the eve of the second day of the Convention.

pshaw! of course, OF course; but want 10

we'll" said Hanna, come over here in corner,
away from this crowd, and I'll tell you some
thing" The two men drew away from the
others, and then Mr.. Hanna whispered: do
you want to know the name OF the next vice.
President?" "Yes," was the eager reply. Il
am sure don't know. / think you had better

An amusing story is told by local politi-
clan of Bryan's earlier political career. AT the
time of which Clark speaks Bryan was hedg-
ling in national politics. Bryan had been IN
vited. with dozen other men, to address
political meeting at Omaha. The Chairman in
troduced long line of more or less distin'
guished statesmen, who were called Judge,
Colonel Major General or by some other title.
When it drew near Bryan's turn to speak, ne
began to think that he had no title, but he
thought he might get some advertising out OF
tho address f0f his struggling business as q
lawyer at Lincoln. So he went to the CHAIR
man and whispered to him that when his time
came Ia address the assem- bly, he should like to
be in trod uced as ''Mr. William Jennings Bryan,
the rising young attorney of Lincoln The
Chairman grunted an assent but when he in
troduced Bryan he did it in these words: Mr
Bryan will now speak," And so the chance to
gain an advertisement was lost.
X
Washington has had moro than its share of
freak bettors, aud they haye been paying their
bets since the result has been accepted by
Bryan. One is not to sit down until lnau-
euration Day. and he wears a panied express
sion whenever he is met the street-cars ana
elsewhere. Another who is something OF So
cety swell. BACKED his opponents boots at
midday at the Thomas statue. Any number
of wheelbarrow rides have been taken, and
two of the well-known hangers on around
Wizards made the startling wager that the
loser should furnish the other all the whisky
he could drink at single sitting. The Bryan
man scraped together all the money that no
could get hut when it was gone the Mckinley
man was still on deck and calling for more.

TO THE FRINGED GENTIAN.
Thou blossom bright with Autumn dew.
And colored with tho heavens own blue,
That openest when the quiet light
Succeeds the keen and frosty night;
Thou CONTEST not when voets lean
Der wandering brooks aud springs unseen,
Or olumbines In purple dressed,
Nod O er the ground birds hidden nest.
Thou waitest late and com'sf alone,
When woods are bare and birds are flown
And frosts and shortening days portend
The aged year is near his end.
Then doth thy sweet and quiet eye
Look through its fringes to the sky.
Blue-blue-as if that sky let fall
flower from its ceruean wall.

The hour of death draw near to me,
Hope, blossoming within my heart,
May look 10 heaven as depart.

Fertilizers For Cabbage.

Nitrogen fertilizers are the best fer
tlizers to promote rapid growth in cab
bage plants, as in the cabbage leaf
growth is very abundant. Such applica-
tions, therefore, as nitrate of soda, sui
phate Of ammonia and flesh meal are
excellent. But good results may also be
looked for from applying superphos-
phate, and indeed any Of the unadulter-
ated preparations that may be obtained
from slaughter houses. The purely nj
trogenous fertilizers should always be
applied ou the surface and after the
plants are above ground; otherwise the
soluble parts may pass down through the
soil before the roots of the plants can
take them up. The superphosphate may
be applied very conveniently by strew-
ing 1t over the surface Of the ground
just when preparing it to receive the
seed, according to The Market Garden.

man and the narrow guagers, A. A.
Stevens of Tyrone, Pa.
Mr.. Wheeler for many years was the
editor of The Voice, and resigned when
it was turned into narrow guage

strong personality are relied upon TO
gain votes from even the narrow
guagers.
The broad guage caucus also decided
to support for vice president, with Chas.
Il. Bentley as presidential candidate,
either j. fl. Southgate Of North Caro-.
lima or w. II. Berry of Chester, Pa.

state committee and that was the year
when $4,000 Prohibition votes were
polled, the largest number in the his

several times presided at state con-
ventions.
