A young man in nearby town

He had invested in a rather expen-
sive camera, which, when not IN nse,
he kept in third story room Of
his house. For overa week he had
been too busy with other things to
think about pictures, bat on the
morning IN. question he decided to
go out and take O few. When he
picked up his camera he WAS sur.
prised 10 find half a dozen hees Ay-
ing about II, and as he proceeded
through the room a whole army af
insects came IN u line out of the
small opening 10 tha black box
cover.
Then tho owner placed the camera
on 0 table aud started an investiga-
tion, which he gave up when the
truth flashed upon him that q swarm
Of bees, which had como In through
tho open window, had made q hive
Of the tamera. The bees have hoeA

THE newspaper comments and
conversations heard upon all sides
since Mr. Bryan's great meeting in
Baltimore again brings up the quest,
ion of his wonderful power as an
orator. 1t IS doubtful if any public
man in America, since the f0unda-
tlon of the government, ever possess
ed such hold upon the great mass
of the people as Mr.. Bryan does.
The secret Of his power is not his
matchess eloquence, or even his
wonderful power of logic and argu-
ment. These do not explain the
place thai Mr.. Bryan has won in
the hearts Of the people. The secret
Of Mr., Bryan's power lay in the
fact that he is honest, speaks his
convictions earnestly, but naturally
without even the thought OF conceal
ing anything from the people, He
trusts the people and believes IN
them. His great hold upon them
results from the reciprocal action
of mind upon mind. Bryan is a
million votes stronger with the
American people than any other
candidate that can be named by
either party,-National Waterman.

Mr. Dockery has as much right to

ROBERT DRUM has represented this
the 21st Senatorial District for eight
years. He has made a dignlfed

sacrificed business interests to try
to enact laws favorable to the labor

along this line, but his work is not
ended In fact, the big "oppressors"
are hard to keep regulated even in
