opposition. The Federal administra-
tion, nominally Democratic, many of

the most powerful newspapers Of his

seemed as If not merely the wealth, but
what pass for the respectability and
character of the United States had
made common cause against him. So
fOrlorn appeared his situation, so lonely
was his isolation, that the opposition
considered him entitled to no serious
consideration, and set out to shout
him down. He was scornfully to be de-
MED a respectful hearing.
Recall Bryan's place in the public
mind, as the public mind is reflected
by the press, two months ago. and con-

such sincerity, such eloquence, such

Only genius could have achieved
what William Jennings Bryan has
achieved. His is that rare combina-
ton of qualities, intellectual, moral
and physical, which precisely meets
the needs of a time when revolt against
established and respectable wrong is
stirring mems blood. What ordinary
men have felt and failed to express to
others, or even coherently to them
/ selves, Bryan expresses with the lucid
ity and strength of perfect natural
ness and native earnestness. Other
men could not by trying be what he is
and he by trying could not be other
than he is. The hour and the man
have once more arrived together.
Those who, hostile to his cause and
seeing his power to lift masses of me1
out of themselves, call Bryan a dema-

incapacity to know a man of genius

uARMFUL PROPHECIEs.

Il is probable If the Creator had in
tended that we should know when the
end of the world would come He would
have told us. This is one OF the mys-
teries that cannot be penetrated by hui
manity, and like the period of our own
existence is mercifully withheld from
our knowledge. AS TO the end of the
world. we suppose, like everything else,
there will be an end OF the earth and
all there is on it, but the only authority
we have on this subject is figuratiYe
Scriptural one, which leaves 1t quite
possible that the world, as it stands,
may exist forever True, some scien-
lists claim that this is impossible, yet
their prophecies have rarely been
given with the uncertainty Of those
who from the very nature OF things
knew nothing about what they were
saying.
But the kind of prophecies regarding
the end OF the world which are the
most to be deprecated are those made
by religious enthusiasts who pretend to
have supernatural knowledge on this
subject. That of Miller. made some
fifty years ago, deluded thousands Of
people and ended like all which have
been made either before or since, in
smoke. Probably no century or half
century has gone by since the advent OF
the Christian era that some cracked
Drained individual has not announced
the date and time when the world
would come to an end.
Fortunately for the peace of those
who live on this mundane sphere, few
people put faith in these announce
ments, and as many are made happy
by the expectation of rising to heaven
in glory as are made miserable by the
fear Of being wiped out of existence
Il is said that these prophecies are get
ting less common of late years, prob
ably owing to the fact that people ar
not as superstitious and as easily be
guiled as they were in former times
A-.i there are those who cannot le
this subject alone, and it has recentl
been revived in some Of the principa
European cities.
The twentieth of September was tn
last date fixed for the end of the worlC

A GREAT MAN.

Whether William Jennings Bryan
shall become president of the United
States or not, he has proved himself a
great leader, great man. Should the
voting go against him on Tuesday, who
is there. even among his opponents,
that will not recognize a splendid fig
ure towering above defeat? He has
grown from day to day in the appre-
citation OF the American people ever
since he began his marvellous personal
campaign, until now he has come to
seem to common men colossal.
Has ever a candidate for the presi-
dency faced the discouragements that
he has faced and easily overcome? Put
forward upon a platform of moderate
and constitutional proposals Of reform,

A writer on lion hunting tells how
Hassan, n quick witted Soinah. found
his way out Of q very serious difficulty.
He had been down in the waterloss
plains and was on the way home, driv-
ing some camels before him. It was a
very dry year, and, although this was
the rainy season. he had been unable to
find any water to give his pony.
The result was that, having been rid
den hard for two or three days, with lit
tie or no water to drink, the pony sue
oumbsd entirely and at last lay down
about 20 miles from the wells. No
amount of persuasion, or even beating,
would got the creature on its legs again.
Hassan was in despair. He knew that
there We're no vessels at the wells in
which he might carry water back to
the pony, and it seemed to him rs if
nothing could be done to save it. At
last he thought of plan. He drove the
camels at top speed to the wells, gavo
them as much water as they could
drink and then hurried them on again.
He found the pony whore he had left
it, growing rapidly weaker. He imme-
diately killed the camels, cut them open
and took the water from their stomachs.
The pony was eager enough to drink it,
and after the draft it revived sufli-
ciently TO struggle on to the wells.
In few days it had completely re-
covered. IN tolling the story Hassan
always added that he could get plenty
of camels, and whether that were SO or
not he would rather have cut the
throats Of 100 than sacrifice his beloved

Noble Ends.

When there is choice of roads to ar
rive at q certain goal, it is not always
the shortest which should be chosen.
The desire for money is a legitimate
one, for money is the key which unlocks
many opportunities. But the ways
which men take to acquire it are too
numerous to recount and differ with
every difference Of character. There are
men who firmly resolve to obtain wealth
by whatever means they think will ac-
complish their end. They will get all
they can and give as little as possible
for il. All such unfairness is practical
robbery. The winner is the robber; the
loser is the robbed. Both are injured
the one in his property, the other IN his
oharacter-while the community Is like
wise impoverished. But directly you
bring labor into the field-honest. intel
ligent work-some real addition is at
once made to the wealth Of the COM
munity and to the character, self respect
and independence Of the worker. New
