who were those men prowling

Grey, as she met her future son-in-law,
one evenig in August, coming up the

looked unusually bright.
"They were gentleman from the

them to decide as to the quality of the
coal on this land"
Goal on my farmi'' exclaimed Mrs.
Grey. 81 never suspected it.
'My farm, you mean!' said John.
81 know long ago that there was
coal on it.
''Then you've played me a very dis
honest trick" said the widow, angrily,
while her gray eyes flashed. ''You
got from me for 81, 500, bed of coal
that you're likely to make yield as
many thousands-perhaps more"

with a peculiar laugh and a queer look
at Lydia, who was laughing, too.
"But I'm not at all bad, my dear to-be
mother-in-law. I'll deed the farm back
to you as soon as the wedding is over,
and Wen share they profits. You can
make me superintendent of the mine,
at handsome salary. / believe the
coal is the best quality, and thereIl
be plenty of work to do.
Mrs. Grey's face cleared at once.
''That's square enough, she said.
''To be perfectly candid with you''
said John, 81 haven't any money to
begin the work. Lydia tells me you
have $4,000 in Government bonds.
Now there wouldn't be any risk in
using that irl this venture. You're
sure to double your money in two
months. -
'I'll sell the bonds at once. " said

Mr.. Robert E. Wright, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee of
Pennsylvania, has resigned his posi-
ton, but he does not say what course
he will follow as to voting. Some of
his objections to the Chicago platform
are to be found in the following par
graphs quoted from his letter of res
ignation:
The best and safest system of bank
ing and of paper money the world has
ever seen is to be stricken down, to be
replaced by the worst that the ingenu-
ity of man has ever devised.
1t invites anarchy.
Opposition to this platform means

Mrs. Grey looked from one face to the
other; her lips curled in peculiarly
sarcastic smile. She thought she saw
very clearly now why Lydia had put of
getting wedding fnery and had "need
so little"
"Well, that was sharp dodger she
said at last. cit takes a district school
teacher to think up such things. 1 be-
lieve, after all, you're smarter'n Seth

And he kissed the demure little face

Bryan's Speech of Acceptance.

With all the accessories of a great
and enthusiastic audience and one of
the largest public halls in the country,
the speech of William J. Bryan, the
alleged Democratic candidate for Pres
ident, in Madison Square Garden, New
York, Wednesday night, was failure
and disappointment. 1t was lacking
in what was considered the speakers
crowning merit oratory. No one
looked for calm, logical and cOnvinc-
ing discussion of living issues by Mr..
Bryan. His chief fame was resultant
from his alleged gift of oratory, and
his nomination was secured by reason
Of q single speech in the Chicago con-
vention.
Before the speech was over, we are
further informed, half the great crowd
had departed. Their idol had been
shattered, and was no longer an ora
tor. AS they expected him to be this
end nothing more, it would not have
been any compensation had his speech
really been 'a calm and logical argu-
inent," for this was not what they
wanted. They painted for Oratory and
failed to get it.
Mr.. Bryan's address was mainly de-
voted to the question of free silver
coinage, and was more of defense of
his pet theory than an argument in
favor of it. He advanced the senseless
proposition of Legislation necessary
to restore silver to its ancient position
by the side of gold, when it is known
TO all who care to see the truth that
silver's ''ancient position is, its
position prior to the Coinage law of
,tS93-was one of superior value to

Slhe gold and the silver dollar was con-
cerned. No amount of legislation can
restore that condition. Itwas depend

tended to fancy work. Such materials
are frequently seen and velutina, by
reason of its close, soft pile and silky
surface, is also in great vogue. Pretty
work bags with tops turned over in

article for choice embroidery, but
scarfs, mats or table covers are stand
ard. Rugs for baby carriages, are
equally popular and attractive as we'll.

From pleasant caves and shade of spreading

gauze is made over silk and while the
most delicate contrasts in heliotrope,
pale blue, pink, yellow or green, are
noticeable, yet brilliant red or orange
form very effective dresses. Black and
orange are most striking and a daring
gown shows these two gorgeous hues
in combination. Chiffon comes in
everywhere acceptably: it relieves the
severity of material, such as mohair or
lightens evening fabrics. Grass linen
over silk is made into dressy afternoon

ornate results accruing from cOrsages
of some rich fabric quite different from

A PUZZLED STUDENT.-The Dela-
,carc college RecicU tells an amusing
story of the late DR.. Daniel Kirkwood,
the eminent astronomer, who was once
president of that institution. Profess
sOr Kirkwood had a habit in the class
room of doing many things by signs.
If he wished the work erased from the
board, he indicated it by a system of
motions, and so if he wanted door
opened or closed, or a window raised
or lowered. One spring day he wanted
a window lowered. He pointed out
student and then motiOned to the win
dow. The student did not understand
and so he repeated the motions more
vigorously than before. The student
still failing to understand, the gesticu-
lations became more emphatic. FL
nally, thinking that something must
be done, the student rushed to the
window and jumped out.
