less to say that the statement Is abso-
,luely false. He has used copy OF card
which is, and has been for some time, out
OF date, for The good reason that the list
has been largely increased. People who
are too cowardly to lie outright distort
the facts in such a way as to be even
more injurious than an out and out
falsehood.e Mr.. Palm may not belong
to this class. but he uses their methods.
( It would be making a greater demand
on your space than we feel justified in
asking were we to deny all the misrep-
resentations crowded in Charles W.
Palms short letter. Permit me, how
ever, to deny, absolutely and entirely
the last statement he makes, namely,
that after the article appeared in the
Times this morning, delegate from the
union called on the other offices and
promises of political printing, secured
the signatures of six of the smaller Of
fices."
j I win conclude by saying that If
Charles W. Palm will prove to the sat
isfactaon of any three reputable citizens
that the mayor or the Ministerial asso-
citation, or any other public body in this
city, would appoint, that six sigma
tures," or any signatures, were secured
to the letter which appears in last nights

which you declined to print in this

or promises of any kind whatsoever,
will pay to any charitable institution

of $50 In United States currency, II, on
the other hand, that gentleman will
promise. in case Of failure to substan-
tiate his statements, to pay the balance
of wages due to the union printers, who
had to compromise with him. for &C

declared an unfair" one.

SHELTER FOR SITTING HENS.

Put the sitting hen in an open shed or
any other sheltered location. Use soap
boxes for nests, open at one end, SO that
the hens must walk in on the eggs.
Make yard Of lath four feet long, two
feet high and two feet wide, inclose the
box, the end of which should be open
so as to permit the hen to come off or
go on at will Provide food, water and a
dust bath for each hen, with cigar box

and ground charcoal. mixed. are placed
The dust bath is important. Simply
scoop out a place on the ground floor
and fill 1t with fine coal ashes, sifted
With this arrangement the hens do not
disturb each other, and but little care
and attention are required. The hens
can dust and exercise, and they can
not leave their nests. When the chicks
are Matched these lath runs may be
placed outside, so as to give the chicks
a chance to forage and grow,

three hours after he was nominated. The
first championship won by him was that
of handshaking.
This 10 how he accomplished that won
derful feat: Nine hundred people were
standing In the corridor Of the Clifton
house In Chicago on the night after his
nomination. All were eager to grasp the
hand OF the man who had electrified the
Democratic convention the day previous,
and had just been it's choice as a cahdi-
date for president. Some were fortunate
In getting close enough to shake Mr.. Bry-
ans hand. but he soon called q halt, and,
in a voice that could be heard block
away, shouted:
Everybody who has not shaken my
hand hold up theirs"
At this Mr.. Bryan threw both of his
hands into the air. So did everybody
form In Indian file for grand" recep-
ton. They were disappointed. for Mr..
Bryan said:
"row, all shake together"
When this was done, he told the crowd
he had shaken hands with them all, and
then he retired, laughing heartily.
His next record was that of speech
making" 1t was on the trip from Chi
cago to Omaha, when he spoke at every
stop the train made. The speeches were
short, but he detained the train long
enoguh to make 1t four hours late in get
ting into Lincoln.
Mr.. Bryan did not accept any railroad
favors until he left Lincoln on this pres
ent trip, when he accepted a private car
over the Missouri Pacific to Kansas City,
of which his law partner Is counsel. He
would give out that he was to leave on a
certain train, and would be about the
last man to reach the station. He buys
his own tickets and secures his own
sleeping accommodations.
Mrs. Bryan usually has accompanied
him on his trips. They would take a sec
tion indthe sleeper and sit facing the d.
rection in which the train was going.
Then, probably, to prevent people an
noying them Mr.. Bryan would fill the
seat in front of him with bundles, in
variably placing his renowned white Fe-
dora hat on top of the lot, then lying
comfortably back for . rest.
1t does not require the announcement
of station for Mr.. Bryan to get out on
the platform. AS soon as the train be-
gins to slow up, he arises and walks to
the rear platform. He acts as though 1t
was automatic for him to do this. He
usually requires no Introduction, but
when the crowd begins to yell for a
speech" he bows politely and never re-
fuses the demand. During the time the
writer accompanied the candidate upon
his trips, which was from the time Of his
nomination UP to last week, Mr.. Bryan
never showed himself to less than 500
people, with but one exception. This
was on his arrival at Chicago, when he
was announced to reach that city at 10: 80
a. M, but arrived there an hour ahead

Of time. There were scarcely 100 people
1t the station, but when 1t was an
nounced that he was at the Auditorium
hotel, Michigan avenue and the lake
front were one live, moving mass of
people.
Mr.. Bryan takes no time to eat When
he can grab sandwich he does 30, but
"eating" is side issue with him. He has
repeatedly declined to ride in process
sion. When he has spoken at cities and

committee on arrangements not to COM

He prefers to be driven to where he IL

To the newspaper reporter Mr.. Bryan
Is most courteous, but, having been q
newspaper man himself, and knowing
the value OF SCOOP ne ts most care
full in gratifying interviews. He prefers
to do all his talking through the press
associations. He has been known to tell
reporter who thought he had SCOOP"
that II he permitted an inter-
view, 1t would have to be given to all the
papers. In this way he has kejt in touch
with the boys" and among the lot
there is no fighting.
While travelling, sunrise is the time OF
Mr.. Bryan's arising. When stopping at
hotels he varies, but he is usually up and
astir long before the hour for break
fast.
He cares little what the papers say
about him. During my stay with him
never heard him allude to any particu-
lar thing in the papers. Once, when we
were leaving New York, he told me he
was glad to note that since his arrival
in New York, he had noticed that none
of the papers had called him an anarchist
either in the news columns or in the
editorial. This, he thought, was due to
his speeches, and showed that he was
educating the better class Of people in the
east.

tion he has been a laborer, working
harder by far than the farmers, whose

Marvellous Cures.

In a Portland hotel the other evening
the conversation turned to the subject
of faith cures, magnetic healing and the
laying on of hands. One gentleman re-
lated his experience at the famous
shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre, near
Quebec. He wildly pictured the great
army of crutches, splints, bandages and
the like that were cast aside by the
afflicted after experiencing the marvel
Gus cures. why, gentlemen" said the
narrator, "the blind were made to see,
the halt were healed, and the paralytic
threw away his wooden support" II
don't doubt it," said gentleman pres"
ent. Il was in Canada few years ago
and witnessed the cures made by mag
netic and faith physician there. Why,
the main hall of this place was filled
with humps that he prayed off the backs
of hunchbacks. Each hump was labeled
with the owners residence and date. y

An Editor Who Knew Nothing About
t5e Business, but Made Money.
From the Grafton Record: l was
talking with a printer the other day
who worked for number of years at
Pennington, Mimi, for man by the
name of Squires. At one time he had
a partner by the name of Farmer, the
firm name being Farmer & Squires.
One day when the press was being
loaded the "&" dropped out, leaving
plain Farmer Squires, and the edition
was run off before it was noticed; Farm
er sold cut the next day, but it was
Farmer Squires' paper from that on.
He made big success out of the pa
per, although he didn't know four
plea lead from two-revolution Hoe,
and he did not do thing toward run
ming the paper except make contracts
for advertising-that was his strong
point; he got hay knives, tanning mills,
sewing machines, pile drivers, washing
machines for advertising; he accepted
all propositions, including patent med
icine and scholarships. The printer
had to do the rest; he built the fires, set
the type, got the news, attended to the
political and moral end of the paper;
smoked the wedding cigars; chased
over the country on a bay horse after
subscribers, took the blame and looked
happy-and the proprietor edited the
trading end He traded farm machin-
cry for COWS, hogs, hens, grain, wo2d,
anything to sell, eat or burn. Once he
had an angry COW tied to the front door
of the printing Office that he had traded
a hay rake for. The COW tore the
clothes almost off the mayor Of the
town, who rushed into the Office so mad
that he forgot to stop the paper, but lie
scared the devil so bad that he stopped
his growth. Sometimes there would be
an auction in the Office, and Squires
would stand on the bed Of the Fairhaven
press and sell lot of truck so there
would be room in the office to get out
| the paper, but he never got stuck CT
anything and finally sold out for big
figure on the strength of his profits

rha Passing of che Outlaw.

The wonderful strides of develop
ment in Oklahoma and Indian Territor-
les during the past three years, and the
rapid advancement of civilization and
Christianity in those territories during
that time, leave the outlaw no longer a
resting place on this continent.
Beautiful cities, rich valleys and the
rolling prairies of that country now
teeming with an industrious and enter
prising class of people take the place
where such bands were roaming at Will
only few short years ago. The peo-
pie of that territory have as little to fear
from any further outrages from such a
source as those in the east, and such is
the result of favorable legislation,
backed up by the courage, push and en-
terprise of the American people.

From the Louisville Commercial.-It
was proved at a baptizing a few days
ago that it is we'll to go we'll prepared
if you are to be baptized. A citizen
who was immersed at the last occur
renee of this kind can testify to this
effect. This gentleman had long in
tended to be baptized, but it took him
long time to make up his mind. AT
last, however, he came to decision,
and the minister led him into the pool,
So far all was we'll The trouble COM
menced as soon as the minister tried
to put the citizens head under the
water. The citizen apparently did not
object to standing in the water up to
his ears, but further, or rather deeper,
he did not wish to go. Finally, as
last resort the minister placed his hand
on his head and began to bear down.
AS he did so the citizens mass of hair
slipped from his head and the minister
found himself standing with wig in
his hand, while the bald head OF the
citizen doomed up conspicuously. AT,
ter this there was no trouble about get
ting that head under the water. The
citizen had always carefully concealed
the fact that he was bald, and when he
was found out he went under the water
so willingly, and stayed so long, that
the spectators became frightened. He
was taken out, very much ashamed OF
himself.
