BreidcnfhnIA Admits 1t.

One Of the most recent and conspicuous
examples Of POpulst who has discarded
the calamity howl for the prosperity
whoop is j. w. Breidenthal Of Kansas.
He is the Bank Commissioner Of the
State, and less than one year ago he was
Bryanite, who could see no prosperity
and no salvation for the country unless
the Boy Orator Of the Platte was elected
and silver given free coinage at the hcav-
en-ordained ratio of 1G to /. But Breiden-
thai has changed since then. He has
seen great light, and this is what he
has to say to-day;
Never in the history of Kansas has there
been as much money with which TO pay debts
as we find In the State to-day. The State
has struck wonderful streak OF luck. Con-
ditions brought good wheat crop the prices
advanced; cattle are plenty and command Il
good price These conditions found Kan
SaS I'm good position 10 profit Immensely
thereby. and we are doing Ii.
There never has been time In the history
of the State when the farmers have not
raised enough TO live on. Now comes this
magnificent year, with immense crops and
high prices, and il is little wonder they are
making the best OF II. The people are max
Ing an earnest effort to get out OF debt, and
when they succeed I'm doing this the Kansas
farmer will be the most independent person
on earth. because he knows enough TO keep
out Of debt when once he gets started In the
right direction.
Kansas Is to-day the most prosperous State
In the Union. There will be 10000 home
steads cleared OF mortgages this fail. Think
of what that means. The mortgages viii
average 81 600 each, which means the ex-
pendlture of SAC, 900. Ii means also that
this State is becoming n Commonwealth OF
homes.
If Breidentha had said last November
that in less than year 10000 Kansas
farmers would pay off S40,000000 of
mortgages, under Republican President
and The gold standard, his fellow Popu-
lists OF Kansas would have chartered a
special train to convey him to an insane
asylum.-KanSas City Journal.

COME, Mr.. BRYAN.
Try to BE Consistent i'm Your Theories
and Assertions.

and Assertions.
At Atchison, Mr.. Bryan made a speech
from which the following are detached
sentences: Last fall the Republicans
said we were repudiationists because we
wanted TO lessen the purchasing price Of
the dollar. The price Of wheat
and corn is governed by the law Of supply
and demand solely. The law OF supply
and demand governs the value of Il dollar.
If there is n short crop of money dollars
will rise. Nature makes n short crop Of
wheat. Man makes short crop of dol
lars by law
A year ago Mr.. Bryan asserted that the
value Of II dollar was not Influenced by
any power whatever except the declara-
ton by the Government that it was dol
lar He asserted in season and out Of
season that such Il declaration was sufli-
cient not only TO make every silver dollar
worth n gold dollar, but also to raise every
ounce Of silver bullion in the world 10 the
value Of gold at a ratio Of 1G to |. With
such n record as this, how can the man
have the audacity to now come babbling
about the value OF the dollar being gov
erned by the law Of supply and demand
He says the dollar has grown too valua-
bic because it has not kept pace with the
law of demand The more money there
is in the country, he contends, the less
the dollar will buy. Does history bear
out such a claim? In one of his lectures
Mr.. Bryan presents n table to show that
since the crime Of 1873 there has been a
steady diminishment in the price Of pro-
ducts. To make his theory good he must
also show that there has been n diminish
meut i'm the number of dollars On tho
contrary, there has been steady and
rapid increase in the number Of dollars
since 1873, until now we have q per cap
ita circulation Of S24.30, whereas in 1878
we had but $500. Kansas City Jour

No Hating the Advance.

Dun's review, which has been jubilant
in its proclamation of business revival for
several weeks. declares that there is no
hating in the advance; that business
grows better in all ways; that there is a
steady increase in production and work
ing force, and that the power Of the peo-
pie to purchase is feature which over
shadows all others. New York reports

Lining a skirt Properly.

All the new gowns are made with silk
Innings, but the outer part is not joined
to the under, except just at the waist
band and for three inches down on
each seam. One OF two gowns lately
finished have the outer part and the
lining caught together where the facing
is put on; but this is a dangerous expert
ment for any but very smart seam
stress to undertake. The underskirt
must be faced up quite distance with
stiff interlining, and must have steel
across the front breadth, slipped into
the hem. The outer skirt should also
be stiffened with canvas or crinoline,
but not made too stiff. A very old fash
ion has been revived, that of weighting
down the underskirt with shot, which is
supposed to hold it down and prevent
its ever flying away from the under
skirt. There is absolutely no fullness
in the skirts around the stomach and
hips, and the fit can be regulated by
darts. Having the front breadth very
narrow at the top, and one or two darts
over the hips, with the fullness gath
cred into very narrow space at the
back, makes very smart skirt, but
there is evidently determination to
introduce bustles again, SO very ex-
treme is the flare in the back breadth in
many of the new costumes.-Chicago

Friendship of Youth.

Two kinds of friends stand before
every young person. The one is not
good, and invites to whatsoever things
are unworthy. The other is pure, IN
spring, uplifting and invites to what
soever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely. 1t is possible for
everyone to have friendships which
will be enriching and full of all beauti-
full inspirations. They may not al
ways seem SO attractive as those which
are more worldly. Good friends do not
think of life as all ease and self-indul-
gence. 1t was Emerson who said:
'"The chief want of life is, somebody
who shall make US do the best we can."
That is the kind of friend young people
need. But too often the opportunities
for taking into life such friendships are
missed, rejected, while friendships are
accepted which bring no good, which
only entangle the life in meshes of evil
andwhich lead to loss. harm and sorrow.
There is time when the gate of holy
and worthy friendship stands open.
Then there is day when it is shut. The
friendships more largely than we
dream make the life and it's destiny.
There are many people far on in their
years, bound now inextricably in the
claims Of evil or unworthy companion
ships, who look back with bitter re-
gret to the day when they have turned
away from friends who would have
made their career one of beauty and
good, choosing those not worthy.-De-
troit Free Press.

NANsEN WOULDN'T TAKE BOOKS

Trihes That Served to While Away
Tedious Time ON the Arctic.
To judge from DR.. Nansen's two fat
volumes, the amiable voyagers in the
Fran, as far as boredouD goes, were in
no such parlous case as some of our
modern brides and bri9egrooms.
Indeed, it was when they had left the
ship, and had to winter alone on q
corner of Franz Josef land, that Nam
sen and Johansen found that two per-
sons, without books, games, or other
distractions, may find the time all too
tedious.
When had the honor of meeting DR..
Nansen in London not long before he
started, felt curious to know what
favorite books he was going to take
with him to beguile the enforced leisure
of those long, dark years ahead of him
and his adventure. But DR.. Nansen only
smiled at my question.
81 shall take no books, myself" he
said; II do not need amy. I have my
scientific work."
The answer, must own, somewhat
surprised me, and am all the more
interested to hear that Fridtjof Nansen
changed his mind on this subject in
the darkest north, and that what he
most regretted, in that hut in Franz
Josef land, was the well-stocked library
on the Fran.
Strange, what childish trifes will
keep grown men amused and interest
ed on such journey; barrel organ,
a birthday celebration, cake, an ex.
ira cigarette, weekly manuscript
newspaper, amy trifle seemed to serve
to keep up the spirits of these simple
Norsemen.-Lady's Pictorial.

WISE TICKET TAKER.
He Had a Scheme to Protect Himself
from Thieves.

He Had a Scheme to Protect Himself
from Thieves.
Two small boys went into station
on the Lake street IL" road the other
day while the ticket agent was busy
with some work on the platform out
side. A nickel lay exposed in tempt
ing manner in the little gate through
which the passengers shove their fares,
and the boys took it. When the ticket
agent returned to his post the boys laid
down dime for their fares and started
to pass through the turnstile, but the
agent did not move the release mechan-
ism.
Another nickel, boys" he said.
"How's that? The fare is five cents,
isn't it?"
eyes, but you took a nickel from the
window here while l was'outside, and I
want it,"
After a little argument the young
sters weakened and handed back the
money. The train was behind time, and
the agent improved the time by caution
ing the boys not to touch the money
they might find on the fare shelves of
the elevated road station.
"It's just put there for a trap" he
said, $50 the agent can tell whether he
has been robbed or not, and if you take
it there's big chance of your getting
into serious trouble"
Pressed by a man who had come in
and overheard part of the conversation
for an explanation of the nickel trap,
the agent went on to say:
eve are frequently compelled to leave
our boxes for few minutes to look
after the stoves. and attend to similar
duties at stations where there are no
platform men.
small change piled up on the counter
inside of the railing. and it would be
an easy matter for sneak thief to reach
through and get handful of 1t. To
count this money over every time we
return to the box would involve consid-
cradle time and labor, and while we
were doing it the thief. if there was one
around, would have a good chance to
get away before the shortage was dis
covered.
"By leaving a nickel in the change
window we can tell at a glance whether
our money has been disturbed or not If
the nickel is still in place when we come
back it is almost cinch that nobody
has been around. If the nickel is gone
it is dead sure thing that some sneak
thief has been getting his work in. and
then we count up our cash as quickly as
possible, and we can generally nab the
offender and make him disgorge on the
spot."-Chicago Tribune.
