A New View of the Matter.
New York Post

a reader of the Evening Post was in a
car the other day when a conversation of
two feiioW-paSsengers attracted his notice
One, II soon appeared. was the keeper or
a livery stable, who was evidently in pros
porous circumstances; the occupation OF
the other was not made clear. They
were talking politics., and when their
voices grew loud enough to carry the words
TO the next seat, the livery stable keeper
was saying: w eii. m going to vote Tor
Bryan. IN sick OF these b.oated bond
holders. The rich men nave too much to
say about the government OF this country
It's nigh time TO call halt ard have a
change his interlocutor waited a mo-
ment before he replied. then said: DO you
know think you mad better go a little slow
in talking about b!cated bOndholders? How
many years IS IL since you were a poor
man yourself Are you aware that there
are lots OF people in your town who consid-
er you rich man. because you have been
successful in your business? Do YOU think
IL would be good thing for you to get
the idea abroad that every man who has
accumulated anything is TO be pulled
down. The livery stable keeper lost his
interest in the conversation at this point
and grew silent. His ardor for Organism
had evidently been cooled when he saw
what IL really meant.

that almost lifted the car. The voice that
had been so far-reaching a few hours be-

and but brief speech was made assuring
the people that the time for debate was

1t was but ten minutes after the train
left Summitville when the booming of can

Here. under the glare OF the fiambeaux
six or seven thousand people had gathered
and it was about the most enthusiastic and
responsive crowd that had been found dur
ing the day. seizing upon every point made
for cheering and applause. General Har-
rison was introduced by ex-senator Har-
Ian. and talked for about ten minutes, adj

Pendleton had not been scheduled for a

up, and he was considerably fatigued with
his big days work. he was ia excellent
spirits and happy in the belief that the VIC

Horace Wood. one of the best-known

The only horse now which sells well is the
SNOWY animal that is a good roadster. For

and fair speed horse which sells readily.
About four weeks ago, 10 illustrate, Mr..
Wood purchased at one OF the Blair &

them $780, a few days later he sold them
for $500, and they were exported TO Paris,
