CHARGES AGAINST BRYAN.
Accused of Forgery and Brihery-All
About His New Book.

Lewiston, Me-, June 23.-Prof, l.. c.
Bateman of Auburn, who was the
candidate of the peoples party OF
Maine for governor, last year and who
is leader of the middle-of-the-road
forces in this state, publishes an at
tack on William J. Bryan Prof.
Bateman says that Populist Congress
man Freeman Knowles OF South Da-
kota, while on his recent trip to his
old home in Showhegan, Me, gave ont
the information that Mr.. Bryan's re-
cent gift of 81 500 to the populist ma
tional committee was made with the
distinct understanding that no action
against fusion should be taken by the
peoples party before the next national
convention. This, Prof. Bateman
says, is nothing more nor less than di-
rect bribery. Prof. Bateman also says
that Bryan has appended his bate

THE COWARD.

If he had lived when knights rode forth in
search of bloody trays
And risked their lives for ladies' smiles
and for their words Of praise,
He would have been swineherd, or, per-
chance some baron's thrall,
For he had little wit, and no heroic blood
at all.
They dubbed him 'gawk' and "dolt'' at
school, and boys of half his years
Were wont to chafe and bully him, and
cuff his ample ears.
And he would take his bruises and weep
DER them apart,
Nor dare to seek revenge, because he had
a towards heart.
And when the workmen in the mill made
up their minds to strike,
This bastard held aloof, of course, and
worked on, coWard-likei
They told him that he robbed their wives
and children of their bread;
My wife and children have got to live
was all the coward said.
One evening, as this craven passed along
his homeward way,
He saw, straight in the motors path, d
little one at play
The car came on at mighty speed-each
witness held his breath,
And waited for the child to meet a horrify-
ing death
Then something flashed before the car and
someone screamed with fright.
And men and women closed their eyes up
on that awful sight
Oh joyl Oh joy! The babe was saved,
and where it was at play,
Naught but a towards lifeless form, in
mangled fragments lay!
S. E. Kiser.
