There was q full third of the del
egates to the Chicago convention
that took no real part in it after
its temper and spirit was uncover
ed, and these will not support its
nominees with any enthusiasm,
and scores of these will not sup
port it at all. Will these latter
support the republican nominees?
This is the vital question.

Adlai Stevenson is very nom
commital as to Bryan. He does
not forget that the stampede was
largely owing to the fact that the
convention was afraid OF stam-
pede to Stevenson, and preferred
Bryan as the lesser evil, probably
because the convention knew less
OF him.

the danger came, so it should be
by their own patriotic following Of
republican measures Of salvation
that the evil be remedied.

Weary of Self Made Mems Brag.

Mr.. Moody has a popular and very
telling way of hitting" the errors
which ore SO rife in the theological
thinking of many persons today.
Speaking of salvation by grace, he
says: ut is we'll that man can t
save himself, for if q man could only
work his own way to heaven you
never would hear the last of it.
Why, down hero in this world, if a
man happens to get little ahead of
his fellows and scrapes q few thou
sand dollars together, you'll hear
him Dragging about his being a self
made man and telling how he began
as poor boy and worked his way
up in the world. I've heard so much
of this sort of thing that I'm sick
and tired of the whole business, and
I'm glad we shan't have men brag-
ging through all eternity how they
worked their way into heaven. y

Ten to one person trying to pro-

These tongue twisting sentences,
however, are good evolutionary ex-

your vocal organs, so that you can
enunciate properly, just as finger
exercises on the piano or organ give
control of the fingers.

Origin of "JOhn Bull"

Tho origin of the term "John
Bull" is thus explained by the Lon
don Golden Penny: Dr. John Bull
was the first Gresham professor of
music, organist of Hereford cathe-
dral and composer to Queen Eliza
beth. John, like true Englishman,
Travelled for Improvement, and hav-
ing heard Of a famous musician at
st. Omer he placed himself under
him as novice, but a circumstance
very soon convinced the master that
he was inferior to the scholar. Tho
musician showed John a song which
he had composed in 40 parts, telling
him at the same time that he defied
all the world to produce a person
capable of adding another part to
his composition. Bull desired to be
left alone and to be INDUCED for a
short time with pen and ink. In less
than three hours he added 40 parts
moro to the song, upon which the
Frenchman was so much surprised
that he swore in great ecstasy he
must be either the devil or John
Bull, which has ever since been pro-
verbal in England.

WASTED HIS ELOQUENCE.
A Southern Congressman Who Raked Bing-
ham as a Stay at Home.


A Southern Congressman Who Ralsed Bing-
ham a Stay at Home.
Here is a story which Stallings Of
Alabama tells in the Washington
Post on himself:
cit happened in the Fifty-second
congress, when I was now man in
the house, not SO experienced as I
am now. Bingham of Pennsylvania
was making bloody shirt speech
oH'so-ne subject or other. Near mo
sat ojl Judge Culberson. He listened
awl lie, and then beokoned to me.
-" I say, Stallings, said he in his
slow. lazy way. get up and answer
that fellow. The idea of his abusing
the southern cavaliers like that! He
never smelt gunpowder. He mover
was in the war. He skulked while
we were out fighting Yankees
81 dida't know Bingham, con-
tinued Stallings. II felt flattered
that Culberson. should call on me to
speak for our side and got the floor
as soon as I could when Bingham
had concluded.
"Well, sir, lit into Bingham. I
throw all the eloquence of my
tongue into that effort to annihilate
him. I pictured the northern soldier
shouldering his musket and kissing
his wife and children farewell at the
/ front gate, Ipictured the battlefield,
where he fought and b1ed for the
Union. l pictured the southern sol
der, departing from his matched
cottage homo, where dwelt his loved
ones, going out to fight for what he
| believed his right, and his return,
! to find his house in ashes and his
dear ones dead or scattered And
then I denounced tho skulkipg stay
at homes In the north, men like the
gentleman who had just preceded
me, who had never seen a battlefield,
never smelt gunpowder except on
the Fourth of July or at a ratifca-
ton meeting, and who, 30years aft
or, would get up in congress and
denounce the southern men who
had gone out to lay down their lives
for their cause, right Or wrong.
TO my surprise, said Stallings,
Bingham took it in the best of hui
| NOR. He even laughed. Some of the
Republicans smiled and looked in
| an amused way at Bingham and
then at me, and next thing I knew
some on our side were smiling and
laughing, and when I turned about
there was Mr. Culberson doubled up
in his seat, laughing to himself as
though he had fit. It began to
dawn on mo about this time that
Culberson had just put up a job on
me. l wasn't through with my re-
marks, but cut off short and sat
down.
Presently Bingham walked over
to me, holding out his hand in q
pleasant sort of way, and said:
" This is Mr.. Stallings, believe.
I'm sure you have been made the
victim of a practical joke. I was in
the Union army and was wounded
at Gettysburg, Spottsylvania and
| Farmville and was mustered out as
brigadier general. It's all right.
Only hate to see O. young man like
you imposed upon. I"

Ellen Hill is one of the witnesses,
