man as any on the list. and behind him
the best platform ever put forward by

WILD EXCITEMENT


BRYAN had assumed the lead and the
favorite had dropped back. The reading
clerk got no further than the announce
ment of Bryan's $50 votes before there
was a repetition oas the scene of yester-
day, when the eloquent young orator
closed his speech. THE Coliseum swayed
with enthusiasm. Cheer followed cheer.
State standards were again uprooted
and ca rried to Nebraska. Louder and
louder Lthe whirl of sound swelled Men
and wdmen went frantic. as newspapers
and umbrellas were furiously whirled
through the air.
Suddenly two beautiful young girls
dressed in pink appeared on table back
of the ;alternates' seats. They held
large shk flag on one side of which
shone the clear-cut features of Bryan.
To and fro 1t waved, while 20,000'throats
screamed.
The ba nd played but could not be
heard.
The da nee of purple state guidons
about the Nebraska delegation contin-
ued for So veral minutes, and then dele
gates star ted in Indian file to parade the
standards about the hall. Kansas, Ne
braska, Nj Mississippi, Georgia, Nevada,
Colorado, North Dakota, Arizona, New
Mexico, Louisiana, oregon, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, District of Colum
bia, WyonRng, Idaho, Alaska, Mime
sofa and Michigan were in the process
| sion.
Frenzied men fought for the standards
| of other delegations. California's was
| the first wrenched away from those who
! attempted to hold it and check Bryan's s
| stampede. Delegates fought for the IL
linois standard wher Gov. Altgeld reso-
lutely guarded it. A hurried vote was
taken. Bryan carried the day, and the
| sucker states banner Joined the parade.
| A fist fight occurred over the possession
| of the Buckeye state standard, but Nc
Leans friends. though battered and
shaken held to it,
1t was exactly forty minutes before
the demonstration subsided.
Throughout 1t all Mrs. Bryan sat to the
! right of the platform. Although q
| bright look of pleasure lighted her fea-
J lures, she did not appear excited by this
wonderful demonstration in honor Of hel
distinguished husband. No one in the
vicinity seemed to recognize her.
The clerk took up the announcement
of the vote as follows:

Bryan'S people went wild at the be-
ginning of the fourth roll call when
Alabama changed her % votes from
Bland to, Bryan. Nebraska delegates
climbed to their chairs and cheered
Idaho followed suit by bringing her 6
votes from Bland to Bryan. There had
,been a commotion visible in Illinois
ranks. which portended a change, but
the stat stood firm for Bland. Kansas
marched from Bland to the Bryan camp
with 20Wotes, followed by Nevada, which
carried 6 from Mclean to the Nebraskan

the unit rule, showed 9 for Bryan in her
ranks. Oregon this time gave her solid
vote foriBryan, an increaI frobn to s.

sheet that his fortune was $4,000. at
Gamma be; count again." said the old
man. The clerk did count again, and
again declared the balance to be &c, eco.
The master himself counted, and he
also brought out clear balance of &C,
600. Time after time he cast up the col
unns; it was still 6, and not 4,
that rewarded his labors. So the old
merchant, on tho strength of his good
fortune. Nodernized his house and put
money in the purse of the carpenter, the
painter and the upholsterer. Still, how
ever, he had lurking doubt of the ex-
istence of the extra e2,OOO; so one win
ter night he sat down to give the col
umns lone count more
At the close Of his task he jumped M
as though he had been galvanized, and
rushed out in shower of rain to the

Extremes In BusileS,

The reign Of the hustle is assured.
New styles are constantly being added
to the already large stock. The latest is
a combination hustle and hip pad, and
is composed Of 10 short organ plaits of
haircloth. at the back these are pushed
close together and stand out abruptly
from the waist lines. They graduate
toward the front and meet i'll pannier
style over the abdomen. Heretofore they
have reached only TO the hips. Now the
idea seems to be TO have the skirt of the
bodice stand directly out ali around.
Vests are growing narrower and the
coat lacks but few inches of meeting
Therefore this radical change III the
manufacture of bustles. The tiniest
hustle shown measures 81 inches
across. 1t is of haircloth, and is tufted
like bit Of upholstery. Thus do ex-
tremes mcet.-New York Letter.

domestic science and dietetics. Long ago
Germany established schools for teach

cooking. Even private establishments
IN The kaiser's empire. in cases where
the list OF women and girl employees is
long, maintain at their own expense
training schools for those who are serv-
ing them. Though this is done from a
purely selfish motive, it is significant as
showing tho commercial value of well
fed and vel! Ecrt laborers, a point that
should net be overlooked by social econ
