Among the speeches made Senator Allen
spoke his full mind. He favored the Pom

providing for a convention as early as
March, 1899, to shape the policy of the party
for 1900. He said he wanted to make II

That Bryan Messnge.


Senator Allen took occasion to reply to
some of the attacks which the middle-of-the
road press had made upon him numerically
of late. He had been charged with refusing
to read a telegram at the st. Louis ccnven-
ton, said to have been sent by w. j. Bryan
and in which Mr.. Bryan has said he would
n0t run for the presidency unless he had
Mr.. Sewell as a running mate. Senator
Allen told the committee he had never re-
ceiyed any such telegram at all. He had
heard that Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri
had received such a telegram, but he, him
self, had had no personal knowledge of it.
1t had been alleged that Mr.. Stone had
wanted the message read to the convention
to force Thomas Watson to retire from the
field, by making 1t appear that Mr.. Watson
did not have any possible chance Of cleo
ton, in the hope that a ticket could be
agreed upon by both lthsipopulist and demo-
cratic parties for both positions on the ma
tional ticket. AS to This, Senator Allen
could not say anything one way or another,
because he did not know; anything about 1t.
AS to the charge that he had received
81 800 from Mr.. Bryan-the proceeds from
the sale of Mr.. Bryan 'book-the money had
been sent to him simultaneously upon the
receipt of a telegramLfr.In Mr.. Bryan in
forming him it woulddbe sent, but he had
had no chance OF refusing it and 1t had never

A Few Requisites.

straight down the column, shaking her
head at intervals as if disappointed in
her search. Finally her face lightened
as she saw loaded notice in another
column of more pretensions than it's fell

She turned to it and read eagerly.
Then she threw the paper from her.

"Read that" And she gathered up
the sheet and handed it over to the 9TH

Horace Greeley's Eccentric Ideas.

Even his eccentric ideas were made
plausible by his treatment. | heard him
say once that what was then thought to
be the Great American desert ought to
be planted with Canada thistles so as to
give nature some sort of q green start,
when other vegetation might be made
to follow But the trouble is Canada
thistles, like any other thing inspired
by" pure cussedness, will only grow
and thrive where they ought not to.
Find place where their presence would
do some good, and, as in the Humpty
Dumpty case, "all the kings horses and
all the kings men" could not fasten
them there. This perverseness suggests
in a certain way the small boys con-
ception of good and bad-his enchiridion
of nature and life.
"What's fun" he said, sis always
wicked; what we don't want to do is
pious. F"
Mr.. Greeley would cut down his
alders in the spring When mildly sug-
gested to him that our agricultural au-
thorities preferred the autumn for that
work, when nature could not so well
aid their struggle for existence. he
thought this reason was q mere excuse
for not cutting them at all.-Joel Ben
ton in Harper's Magazine.

He'd Better Trade Her on.

There is a certain Yorkshire man who
has won considerable fame and some
wealth as an expert handler of horses
He is also the possessor of pleasan,
home, charming wife and bright g.
year-old boy.
The latter is the delight of his fa.
theirs heart, and the little fellow not
only knows lots of horse talk, but takes
keen delight in mild attempt al

The wee horseman has picked up the
habit of calling his parents by their
first names, and the way in which he
utters them is decidedly cunning.
One day not long ago his father came
home in hurry and found the luncheon
wasn't ready.
"What do you think of that, my
small MANI" he cried laughingly as he
tossed the 3-year-old in the air. ''Here s

The Lion of Keos.

There are lions and lions, but the
lion of Ioul is the lion of Hellas, saws
Professor j. Irving Mannatt in The At
lantic. The lions ON guard above the
gate OF Mycene may be older, but they
have lost their heads and Herewith
their main majesty. The lion sentinel
over Leonidas' grave at Thermopylg
disappeared ages ago, though we still
possess the inscription written for it by
Simonides:
OF beasts the bravest l, Of mortals he,
Upon this mound of stone now watched by me-
The lion of Ch@roneia commentaries
O great and definite event, but he has
been broken to pieces. Better luck has
attened the lion of Keos. Couched here
on his flank in the living rock, with re-
verified head, 2S feet from tip to tail,
every feature perfect, full of life and
majesty, one can hardly think of him as
mere image made with hands. He
looks rather as if in some prehistoric
age-the colossus of his kind-he might
have lain down here alive and turned
to stone, possibly after clearing the
island of its first occupants, for there is
myth handed down to us by an old
writer that Keos was originally inhabit-
ed by the nymphs until they were scared
away by lion and fled to Karystos,
leaving to the jumping off place" the
name of Lion point. At all events tho
monument and the myth make perfec,
fit. Our lion is the very beast to strike
terror into nymphs or any other unwel-
come neighbors.

night to greet the Iron Minstrels and the
merit OF their performance amply justified
the large house. The Ishpeming boys ar.

that the performance given last night is
the best minstrel show seen in this Sec

plause.
