William j. Bryan.
Character Sketch by James .Creelman in the
New York Journal.

clined to accept "a salary of ten thousand
dollars a year from the Standard IN
Company, preferring to live more eco
laonlically and fight against the ABUSES OF
such oyergrown corporations.
He has much more solid record as
a lawyer and business MAN than Presl-
dent Mckinley. For one thing, no man
has ever been called upon to pay his
debts, and | personally know that he
has helped many an unfortunate friend
out of his troubles.
Another fact about Mr.. Bryan has
become known since 1S96-he cannot
be used by other men-he is not weak or
invertebrate. He is the master rather
than the servant of those who surround
him. 1t was said in the last campaign
that if this Uniformed, inexperienced
youth from the prairies of Nebraska
should be seated in the White House his
every act would be dictated by cranks
and fanatics But today the whole ma
ton can witness in every part of the
country the evidences of this man IN
domitable will and unconquerable cour-
age.
| am quite sure that if the next
Democratic National platform should
fail to meet his convictions he would de-
cline to be the Democratic candidate,
although he would vote the Democratic
ticket.
My own judgment is that he will have
no rival in the National Convention, and
will be nominated by acclamation. 1t Is
too soon to express positive opinion re-
garding his chances of election. But L
should say that he is much more popu-
lar than when he was hast candidate,
and that if the contest is to be between
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan the pres
ent prospect favors Mr.. Bryan's election
1t is long look ahead, but at the
same stage of events preceding the last
national conventions | succeeded In DEM
onstrating to my own satisfaction, at
least. Mr.. McKinley's nomination and
election, and l do not fear to make
prediction now, with all the reserve
arising from the fact that a prophet can
never hope to be as accurate as ms

THE NEW WOMAN WHO WAS

w
She was one of them new women that
we had a while ago;
Went around the country tellin' things
she thought folks ought to know;
Said that man had been usurpn' rights
which should belong to her,
And whenever she got started, why the
air was full of fur
Told us half the men was worthless
Lawsey! how she used to jist
Rip us up and down the backs and
pound the table with 'er fist.
l remember how she give it to the Teller
with a chew
Said he ought to live with pigs, and she
was right about it, too!
| have often heard her shoutin that the
man who took a drink
Didn't have the necessary apparatus fer
to think;
She would wave her hands and holler
that 1.-The joyous time was here
When the women were a-goin to git in
their proper sphere.
That was prior to her marriage; she
was plump and purity then
Might have had her choice of nearly all
the good-fer-noth'n men;
But Teller from the country that jines
ours on the west
Got a chance to whisper to 'er, and l
s'pose you've guessed the rest
No more speakin' from the platform, no
more travelin' around,
Tellin' women to take off and throw
their shackles on the ground"
T'other day | had some bizness over
where she's Twin now,
Thought I'd stop and say good mornin'
Just for old times, anyhow;
Well | never would have knowed 'er!
Thin and pale and hollow-eyed,
With little scrawny baby she was
pressin' to 'er side,
And her look! Ny grief! / never seen a
sorrowfuller face,
And she's kind of jump at every little
noise about the place.
Course, I'd heard about the stories that
was goin' here and there
How 'er husband was a drinker-how he
dragged 'er by the hair
but i never TOOK Ilucn Hotices huo" =
in people often say
Lots of things that there is mighty
little truth in anyway;
So set and jist looked at 'er-coqldn't
say blessed word, u
And her sobs the pitifullest anybody
ever heard!
God but how it raised my dander when
she told me through 'er tears
How he'd knocked Ter down that morn
in how he'd cuffed 'er on the ears;
How he'd spent his money drinkin', how
he made 'er slave away,
And l says: Why don't you leave himE
What was that you used to say
Bout the noble sphere of woman!' But
she broke i'll kind of mad,
And informed me that she loved him,
spite of all the faults he had.
| agree with them that tells us woman $
sphere is high and grand,
If | could I'd give them every privilege
that they demand;
Lots and lots of men are beastly from
their heads down to their toes;
And they amt got any bizness addcn'
unto women's woes
But / wisht some one would tell me
where they git their charms to win
Women who keep stickin' to them right
along through thick and thin.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
John Perkins, of ArcoIn, I'LL, Discov-
ers n Sister in KRnsns--Abduoted
from Her Home in 1858.

After separation of 30 years John
Perkins, prominent farmer living ten
miles east of Arcola. Ill.,, has located
his sister at Linn, Kan, who, he claims,
was abducted by an uncle named Free
man West at Moline, Ill.,, in 1868. Mr..
Perkins tells the following story of
the abduction:
In 1868 James Perkins Gather of
John Perl1ins) lived in Mercer county,
Ill. He had q wife, two sons@Joh
aged six years; Andrew, nged four
years-and daughter, Lottie, aged less
than two years. AT this time the moth
er died and the children were left to
the care of relatives. An uncle, Free
man West, and his wife, having no chill
dren, took the little girl and emigrated
west. The father and the little broth
ers could get no trace of the where
abouts of the sister until few days
ago.
West was afterwards killed in melee
at a dance, and the secret of the little
girls identity was buried with him.
Lottie, who was now thrown out of
a home, was picked up by the authori-
ties and taken to the poorhouse. A
home in a family on farm was soon
found for her, and here she lived for
ten years.
She ultimately married prosperous
farmer named Wesley Mosher, of Linn,
Washington county, Kan. The husband
took an interest in finding his wife's
relatives, finally locating n man who
knew of the West family in Moline, H.,
and Mr.. Mosher wrote to one who
proved to be brother of Freeman
West, who knew of the abduction of
Lottie Perkins by Freeman West and
wife 30 years ago.

4 Good Indian.

Simon Pokagon, chief of the Potta-
watomies, who has just finished his
earthly course atan advanced age, COM
bined all the better elements of the
Indian character elements which,
when mixed with the familiar physical
pcrfcctions, intrepid spirit and majes-
tic mien of the traditional American
aborigine, make up a personality both
picturesque and commanding. Chief
Pokagon was an educated. diligent,
nobe-hcarted and peace-loving Indian,
devoted to the welfare of his untutored
and altogether too-thriftless people.
lie wrote and talked well, contributing
interestingly to the literature of the
Michigan Indians and directing his tai
ents ever to the advantage of his tribes
men and their families. The fact that
for long years the tireless efforts OF
Pokagon were required to exact from
the government a just compensation fol
territory taken from the Pottawato-
mics, suggests how little there has been
in the treatment of this inferior race
that is either creditable to the nation
or indicative of success in future un-
dertakings of the same nature. What
ever glorious triumphs the country has
achieved in it's century and quarter
OF history, the Ineffective attempts to
solve the Indian and the negro prob
lem are not to be numbered among
them. Pokagon finally secured the
100000 due his. tribe. but if the Indians
had relied upon the prompt honoring
of the claim for sustenance they would
all have been gathered to the happy
hunting grounds before the money was
Forthcoming. When it did come the
white man saw to it that the Potta,
watomies were literally assisted in dis
bursing it.

A Queer Grippe Cure.

IF you would stamp out the grippe
in this city, l would suggest the pub
lication in your valuable paper of the
recommendation that all citizens put
teaspoonful of sulphur in their shoes
night and morning until the danger
passes. " This, spoken in jest by
Health Officer j. T.. FL. Dunn. of Oak
land, Cal, in discussing the grippe epi-
demic with newspaper man, has Gre
ated panic in the local sulphur mar
ket. 1t is now a case of mammas buy it,
papas try it, and babies cry for it, in
this, the Athens of America. From
early morning until late at night, in
every drug store in the city, tired clerks
are kept busy tying up packages of the
yellow powder. Some people buy with
nickels and dimes, but many there are
who believe that if little is good, much
is better, and their purchases often
reach the dollar mark. None seem
to know just what effect pinch of
sulphur in either shoe will have on la
grippe bacilli, or just how the disease
is to be avoided by this system, but all
have faith, and are giving it fair trial.
No doubt some can be found who will
testify that their lives have been saved
by the sulphur cure. though it was only
suggested by the physician three days
ago.
