REPORTING THE WEDDING.
AS 1t Was Turned In by the Young
Reporter Fit for the Waste
Basket.

A reporter on a newspaper was given the
task OF writing up a very swell wedding.
He composed fine account of the we'd
ding ceremonies, but, like many young
writers, he tried to use too fowery Ian
guage, and, becoming excited, he forgot 10
be accurate in the use of words. The de-
scription of the beauties of nature read
something like this:
The silvery moon hovered over the
scene, and the stars twinkled merry; the
soft signing of the wind in the trees near by
came like a benediction of love to the happy
couple entering upon the voyage of life to-
gether."
The reporter sent in his copy, but just
as the paper was about to be sent TO press
he rushed into the editors room, all excite
ment, saying he wished to make a correc-
tion in the account of the wedding, as, ac-
cording to the almanac, there was no sii-
very or any other moon on that night.
And the reporter also said that he had
blundered in writing of the ''contesting"
parties instead of Contracting parties.
After few more corrections the account
of the wedding was found available for the
editors e-basket-Iit- Bits

HOW BRYAN LIVES.
The Megaphone Mouthpiecc of the
Silyerites Has to BE Free
qucntIy "OiIcd Up."

There is e. be a firemen's convention
in western Pennsylv2 uia next month.
The committee of arrangements in
vited William j. Bryan to attend and
make a speech He replied that he
would accept for $500. This is less than
he got at either of the two Chautauqua
meetings in Georgia at which he made
political addresses recently. There he
was given so per cent. of the gate re-
ceipts.
Some Pennsylvania democrats are dis
pleased that Mr. Bryan should charge
for mis- addresses. There is a feeling
in Georgia even, where he is so popular,
that It is not quite dignifed for a man
in his position-"the leader of his
partv"-to become the drawing card of
an entertainment for a percentage of
the gate money. His friends say in his
defense that he does not receive money
for making what they call regular
political speeches. but only for polit-
ical speeches made at enterprises got
up for the express purpose OF making
money They say that Bryan must
live" and that he cannot travel all over
the country and make speeches for
nothing.
1t is well known that Mr.. Bryan's sole
business just now is that of presidential
candidate. He deems it necessary to
the carrying on of that business that he
should be displaying himself continual
ly to the people and talking to them.
He counts that day lost in which he has
not told considerable number of his
fellow-citizens that he is their friend.
1t is perfectly proper, therefore, from

For exact information on disputed
subjects Boston is, of course, the prop
er source Boston scientists have not
only succeeded in running the kissing
bug to its lair but have extracted its
long sting and put it under the micro
scope. The weapon of the kissing bug,
as they describe it, is one-thirty-
of an inch long and consists of black
base, with a white end which branches
into two prongs. 1t is as hard as flint
and the points are sharper than a
needle. The specimen was secured from
a gentleman into whose finger it had
been inserted by its original owner.
The finger swellcd rapidly after it had
been stung and when it was treated
the sting was found imbedded in the
wound.

'Mein Gott, what peoples was the
expression of a newcomer when observ-
ing his first Fourth of July in America.
He looked out of his window upon
small boys and men mixed with cannon

the distance, horses running away and
ambulances bearing off the wounded.
The view was certainly impressive. In

to know the net results of a days OPP

NICELY TAKEN IN.
He knew the ways of the
World But Got Caught
Mapping.

The man in question used to say he knew
the way of the world as a cat knows its
own kittens, and laugh at the wies OF those
who live on their wits
He had been economizing at every turn
for a long time, saving all that he could,
for the holidays were near at hand. He
left his station the other night in the teeth
of a blizzard. The buses had stopped run
ming, and he buttoned his coat collar about
his neck with a determination to walk
home rather than squander the price OF a
cab.
"Beastly night" said a tall, imposing
man, as he tapped our friend on the Shout
der. Get into my carriage there; III be
with you in a minute" and he dashed into
the station after his bag. 1t was too good
an offer to be refused, and the travelling
man put in most of his time in thanking
his benefactor, who politely insisted that
the pleasure was all his.
"Just tell him where to drive to, he said,
later; 81 get out here. No, don't mention
it. Glad of the opportunity"
Now, it was a horrible night, and he was
using another mans carriage, so he could
not do less than to treat the driver and
give him a cigar to keep his nose warm. At
last the economical traveller was at home,
and he shouted a CHEEKY good night, as
he slammed the door of the vehicle and
started for the house:
Here" cried the driver, you've forgot
Thanks. What is it?'' as he hurried

seized him. "Why, the other man

it got out.-Pearson's Weekly.

RANCO-AMERICAN TREATY.
Establishment of Reciprocal ReEn-
tons Gives satisfaction in
Official Circles.

Washington, July 2O.-The signing OF
the Franco-American reciprocity treaty
is accepted in official quarters, govern
ment and diplomatic, as not only de
sirabIe trade Arrangement, but also an
other evidence of the friendly political
ties between the TWO countries. En-
pressions to the effect were exchanged
during the latter days of the negotia-
tions between those highest in author
ity on both sides, and it IS understood
that President Mckinley, in particular,
was desirous that there should be no
failure in Il negotiation which promised
to establish another friendly bond be-
tween the countries. In a personal way
it is regarded as a noteworthy achieve
mCnt of the French ambassador, who
in his comparatively brief service here
has made a reciprocity treaty, and has
acted as Il peacemaker between the
United States and Spain. The officials
on both sides are rcfraining from any
expressions of triumph over the re-
suits, as they say each side has secured
fair equivalent for what it has given,
and that the trade OF both countries
Will be much benefited.
The shipments of the United States
to France are considerably more than
those coming from France. Last year
our exports to France exceeded 800, ,OOO,-
600 francs, while the trade from France
amounted to about 25O.OO00OO francs.
More than half of this traffic will be in
fiucnced by the rates established in the
new treaty. In the case of the French
shipments, goods worth $4,000, 900
francs are on the free list, while anoth-
er a0,0OO,O00 francs of goods are not in
tucnced by the treaty, leaving ship
ments valued at 150,00O,0OO francs to be
directly affected by the new rates. The
value of American goods affected would
be even greater than this, owing to the
larger amount of American exports.

There are no statistics to show that
appendicitis is more prevalent among
those who ride than those who do not,
of any kind to trace the injury of ap-
pendicitis directly to bicycling or to
any other form of exercise. The BIZ
cycle may have its sins to answer for,
but before being held guilty of causing
death by appendicitis it is entitled to
the presumption of innocence and to
proof positive of its guilt.
