sword and shouting: Forward" to his

AT that time he was waving a club
and lodging about, but my artist took
the liberty of changing his attitude.
As the Spanish couldn't catch him they
bought him OF. Aguinaldo was willing
to die for his country. and ne was also
willing to sell her for price. He got
his price and went out OF the father

When Rosa Bonheur began her ar

object which she painted. She lived In

room not much larger than a closet she
kept sheep, at that time her sole
model, which she had reared from a pet
lamb, and which younger brother was
required to take out several times a
week and exercise in an unfrequented
part of a park near by, and give it a
nibble of the grass now and then, so it

was required to carry the sheep up and
down stairs, so that it's Gathering hoofs

its noise. But after a time the ami

mittens, stuffed like a boxers gloves,
which he drew on the sfreeps hind feet
just before starting out and coming in,

after time, would fairly caper with
delight the moment the boy would pro-

anticipation of an hour in the park.
But one day the boy was careless and
stumbled near the head of the upper
flight of stairs, and, in order to save
himself, let go Of the sheep, which
tumbled head first over its companion,
struck twice in its descent and not only
broke its back on one of the sharp

Mr.. Bryan processes to he very much
pleased with the proceedings of the Demo-
cratic national committee at Chicago. He
says they were perfectly harmonious and
indicated THAT the sentiment in favor Of
the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
is so overwhelming that all opposition Is
likely to disappear before the conyen-
ton is called to order." To an outside
observer the harmony was not so appar-
emit as Mr.. Bryan prufesses to think.
There was certainly row over the de-
position of Devlin from the head of the
literary bureau, and ths Hon. George
Fred Williams was turned down by the
committee in q way that indicated good
deal of i'll fesling. We are Inclined to
think that Bryan is right in declaring
that the sentiment in favor of the Chicago
platform was overwhelming. he might
have said with equal truth that the SEN
timent for his denomination was also
overwhelming. But neither of these
facts is encouraging TO thoughtful
Democrats who are looking ahead to next
summer.

The arbitration conference at the
Hague will probably conclude Its work
this week and adjourn finally. Its prin-
cipal achievement has been the
giving to arbitration as means Of
settling international disputes standing
which it never had before and which il
could get only through conference of
this kind. While no nation is bound to
appeal to the Court of arbitration
which is to be established moral obligs-
tion is created on the part of the signatory
powers whion must have good deal OF
influence. When the questions at Issue
are not vital we may look for an appeal
to this court on the part not only of all
the signatory powers but also of all others
for the court is to be open to all nations.
Outside of the arbitration feature the
conference accomplished little or moth
ing. The Cars disarmament programme
on which the conference was originally
based was sidetracked and received no
considerable attention. The attempt to
exclude from use certain destructive
agents on the ground OF humanity was to
large degree failure. The English in
sisted ON retaining the dumdun bullet
for use upon the savages and the Ameri.
cans seem to have sided with them on this
point, perhaps because we have now got
SONS savages on our hands. Though the
conference fell far short of accomplishing
what was hoped from 1t it has not been
in vain.
