DOLLAR DINNER.
quot ut Omahs-Alr. Bryan Makes
IN Address.

Omaha, Neb., May s.-About 400
persons sat down to the banquet
board of the Peter Cooper dollar din
ner at the Coliseum yesterday even
ing. Half of this number, perhaps,
was made up of delegates to the pop
ulist convention at Sioux Falls. It
was given out on excellent authority
that the delegates had agreed to NOM
mate Mr.. Bryan Wednesday and to
leave second place oper. to be made
the subject of conference. A con-
ference committee is to be named to
meet like committee at Kansas City.
Mr.. Bryan was greeted by liberal
applause. There was little if any
thing new in his address. Its tenor
was an argument for the continu-
ance of fusion. He specified the old
issues upon which the democrats,
populists and silver republicans fused
in 1896 and pointed out the reasons
why they should stand together now.
He devoted more time to the money
plank than to any other one issue, de-
nounced the republicans for setting
up the ''subterfuge of international
bimetallism in 1896, only to abandon
it and adopt the gold standard and a,
hateful currency measure in 190O.''

A generous if not alluring offer was
that made by an exasperated physi-
clan to the penurious father of an
insane young man. The old man
wished to secure his sons admission
to the insane asylum. but unwilling
to pay for the necessary certificate
After hearing his plea of poverty
which the doctor knew to be false
and hearing him also tell of the many
expenses to which he had been put
by his ungrateful children. the physi-
clan waved his hand to end the
recital. ''Now see here" he said,
sharply. '.you just pay me for. this
one, and I'll give you a certificate for
yourself whenever you wish to use it,
for nothing."-Youth's Companion.

\ good story is told in West Vir-

Thomas B. Reed, the gigantic speaker
of the last house. The two West Vir-
ginians are Blackburn B. Dovener and
Romeo Hoyt :Freer. Both are small in
stature and wonderfully alike in their
general appearance. Together they
went up to the ponderous Maine man
to be introduced.
"Huinrh!' said Mr.. Reed, els that
the best the Persimmon state can
do?"
what do you mean?" asked Mr..
Freer.
Nothing" drawled the elephantine
speaker. Il was only wondering at
the uniformity of things down your
way. l suppose the horses are all
ponies and the persimmons . all
dwarfs-',
'"Well,'' interrupted Mr.. Freer.
there is one thing in our favor, the
persimmon has more taste than the
pumpkin"
The laugh was ON the speaker. and
he acknowledged it by cordially grasp
ing the hands of the lilliputians and
joining in the Success.
