satisfied, will you give me your defni-
ton of greatness?"
Mr.. Deliver declined to offer his
definition, and said that Mr.. Bryan had
predicted a panic in case the country
adopted a silver standard. "I'll give
you your own time to find that state.
ment," said Mr.. Murphy, sand when
you find it I will give you 500 to give
to a charitable institution, if you'll
give me 500 for & charity I viii name
in case you are unsuccessful" Mr..
Deliver said he would look into the
matter and turned the conversation to
the price Of corn, saying it was worth
% cents a bushel in Fort Dodge.
"There's another chance for your
charity to make s1OO," said Mr.. Murphy,
"if you'll prove that corn is worth more
than 20 cents in Fort Dodge. TWAS up
little while ago when freight rates
were cut. The republicans and the
railroads did that to jolly the farmer
Rates have advanced again and corn is
worth 10 cents in Nebraska"
Mr.. Dolhver did not believe that
freight rates had been advanced. Mr..
Murphy knew they had and was willing
to put his word and money against that
of even a congressman in support Of
his proposition.
Then the talk drifted to the national
debt. Mr.. Deliver said the country's
debt was only $500, 100000. Mr. Murphy
said it was s1,7OOO 100000, and had money
to back up the correctness Of his state
ment. Mr.. Dolliver said he would look
into the proposition, and took up the
effect of free coinage on business and
property values. 81 cannot see how
you should be in favor of silver" he
said. "You borrow money"
mo I DON'T" replied Mr., Murphy.
"Then if you have money, its value
will be cut in two"
81 don't believe it."

That's my opinion against yours,
and we'll let it go at that"
By this time Mr.. Dolliver had asked
and learned the name of the tartar he
had caught. "You are an Irishman, I
take it," he said.
''No, sir; I'm an American" replied
Murphy, and Mr.. Dolliver wanted to
know what Mr.. Murphy considered an
American, and got the answer: "Any
citizen who believes and supports the
principles of American institutions"
mir. Murphy, you ought to be in the
republican party" said Mr.. DOlliveF.
"That reminds me of another story"
replied Mr.. Murphy. Gan Irishman
went to the home of a rabbi and wanted
to buy a lot to bury a friend in. The
rabbi insisted upon a reason for the
request and the Irishman finally
replied. well, you see, the poor diYil
we are going to bury has led rather a
rough life, and We thought that a
Jewish cemetery was the last place the
devil would look for az Irishman,e and
the republican party is the last place
you ought to look for me Mr.. Deliver"
That was just a small part Of the con-
versation that commenced when the
Burlington left Omaha and lasted until
the train had almost reached the Colo
RADIO line. While it may not have gone
far toward making Mr.. Deliver see The
error of his ways, it furnished an IN
limited amount of amusement for the
crowd Of listeners and gave Mr.. Murphy
an opportunity to give vent to his pent
up feelings. The prediction is safe
that Mr.. Doll!ver will learn The politics
of the next stranger he meets on the
train before he commences bis little
speech about the return Of prosperity.
