PROPOUNDED A STICKER,

They routed the president out at
o'clock this morning to make speech
at Cedar Falls, Iowa, but not too early
for him to fire question at the Iowa
anti-expansionists which will be diff
cult for them to answer. He said: 1T
is no longer a question of expansion
with us; we have expanded. If there
is any question at all, it is a question
of contraction, and who is going to
contract?" That is a sticker for the
Iowa Democracy.-Min7oeapohs Journal.

NO WONDER THEY DOUBT.

Having failed in his diagnosis of the
tariff question and the money question
as to just what the effects would be if
his views were not endorsed, Mr..
Bryan finds that the people are not
tumbling over themselves to accept
his view of trusts and how they should
be handled. They can not be blamed
in view of the swamping of his pre-
vious predictions on the money ques-
tion for having dou BITS as to his cure
for trusts.-Mankato Free Press.

Z REED SHOULD / BEWARE. Ei,1',.

II Tom Reed concludes to go over
Ito the Democrats he will make the
greatest mistake Of his life. Mr.. Reed
is disappointed and disgruntled be-
cause the Republicans have not taken
him up for president, but he should
know that sore-head deserters. always
sink into oblivion and never gain the
prize which they covet. OF course
Democracy will welcome the 'Czarr''
as it does all renegades, but he will
never WELD the influence he did as
speaker of the house of representatives.

Child Burncd to Death.

Word has been received of the burning
to death of the 4-ycar-old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Matt Novak at the home of the par
ents a few miles from Chamberlain. 1t
seems that the child wa left alone with
the baby, and as twilight approached con-
cluded that it was proper to light llelamp.
The boy secured the lamp and lighted it,
but in attempting to put it back in the
place in which it was customary to keep
it, held il ut such an angle that the oil
spilled out and saturated his clothing. The
flame from the lamp reached his clothing
and before assistance arrived he was so
severely burned that he died about four
hours later.

The Corcans We're the First to Invent
This Type of Boat.
The Coreans We're the first to invent
the ironclad warship. In 1892 the
hordcs of %IIideyoshi landed OH the
shores of Southern Corca and swept
northward through the peninsula, with
the avowcd purpose of crossing the
Chinese border and ovrrthrowing the
Ming empire. The Coreans could offer
no adequate resistance. for, while Corea
had beer mt peace for several centuries
and the science of war had received
comparatively little attention, the ISL
ands of Japan had been IL great bat
tletield. and the army of 100000 men
that landed on Corean soil were all vet
Grams. The Japanese We're provided
with firearms, which had never been
seen Corea.
When. therefore, the Japanese forces
| swept northward toward the capital.
and the king fled by night along the
road to the Chinese border, Corea came
face to face with Il hard. uncompromis-
ing fact. She must either find some
new means for holding the invaders in
check, or she must go to the wall. The
| stimulus WAS sufficient. and in the per-
| son of Admiral Yi Sun-sin Corea found
the solution of the problem. The jap
ancse had penetrated the county, as
far as I'ycng-yang. and were there
awaiting an army of reinforcement
from Japan. consisting of 100000 men,
before advancing to the conquest of
China. Admiral vi perceived that it
was only by destroying this auxiliary
force that the Japanese could be
checked, and he realized. moreover,
| that should it once set foot on Corean
soil all hope was gone. This grim ne
cessity resulted in the invention of the
kwi-sun. or tortoise boat so called
because of it's resemblance to that ami
nal. In the illustration which has been
preserved to us in the biography Of Ad-
miral vi we see that the boat was COW
cred with a curved deck of iron plates,
and was provided with a ram. These
two things formed it's defensive and
offensive equipment. With this boat,
whose speed was exceptionally great.
Admiral vi boldly attacked the Japan
ese fleet of COO boats. ramming them
right and left, and as he passed on he
left the struggling japanese in the
water, to be dispatched by his follow.
ers in the ordinary boats of the Corean
feet. The enemies deemed the tortoise
boat to be a work of superhuman orr.
gin, and their "bones melted" within
them.-Hnrper's Magazine.
