COMPENSATION,


Better to mourn our dead
Than never to know how sweet
The lispirg words OF n child
Or the patler OF little feet;
Better TO mourn, ] say,
Than never TO know the care
OF the tender trusting souls
That God himself sent there.
Better to mourn our dead,
say it through scaliing tears,
Than not To have known the charm
They trailcd through our faltering years,
For heart from which love has fed
Is nearer the great unknown
And perhaps is bound by golden thread
To the Masters pitying throne.
Better TO mourn our dead;
Oh, you who hear my voice,
pray you smile through your binding tears
And, though sad is your heart, rejoicci
For who weep for our own know well,
But, all, at what bitter costl
How drcary must be the hearts Of MEN
WHO never have loved and lost.

How a Cane May BE Made to Stand

Tho widow Of Hermann, the celebrat.

the modus operandi of the famous cane
trick when discussing Magic as q Home

Companion: 1.-The feat Of compelling a
walking stick or umbrella to stand up
right In the middle Of parlor without
being supported by anything or anybody
always seems wonderful. 1t il best
when about to perform this feat to have
a black screen for a background and to
order the stick or umbrella to stand alone
about u foot In front Of this screen. To
show the audience that there Is NO per.
son or apparatus behind this screen to
secretly help the stick to stand when
commanded the performer can take the
screen away for few minutes until all
are satisfied that there Is no hidden ap.
paratus there. Pass the cane around

there is no pin in. the canes ferrule and
that 1t is an ordinary cane. absolutely

In place. the stick can be hypnOtized by

former may desire.
THE secret of hypnotizing is so simple
that the audience will never suspect 1t.
1t is to previously tie yard Of black
thread from the top of one Of the front
legs Of an ordinary chair to the top Of
the other front leg. letting the bag Of
the thread fall to the ground until ready
for the 'hypnotizing.' Caretessly place
the stick within the bag of the thread
planting the stick upright six inches from
the chuir. making It appear that It is
only by the mcrest accident that the per-
former selects this particular spot. Now
take your hands away. and, of course.
the stick will stand where you place it.
The supporting thread will not be seen
on account of the dark background. This
and many other feats any amateur can
perform after little practice"

imum rates as for the Southern States.
This would be fair to the companies,
because 1t would put them on the same
footing in the race for patronage. and
(what is of vastly greater importance)
It would protect the Norfolk public
against exorbitant charges. should the
Bell Company monopolize the teie-,
phone field.
What the citizens of this city want,
and what the Virginian-P Pilot urges
they are entitled to. is an efficient tel
ephone service at reasonable charge,
with the assurance that the charge
must remain reasonable. Whether such
service is furnished by the Southern
Bell. or the Southern States, neither
the citizens of Norfolk nor the vir-
ginian-Pilot cares at all. But one
thing is certain-we shall not get such
service at a reasonable charge by
standing idly by, while the Southern
Bell (Which has no fixed maximum rate
in It's franchise) swallows the South
ern States. which has. Hence the need
of fixing maximum rate by the City
Councils for the Bell service, SO that
the Bell Company and the Southern
States Company will have the same
privileges under the law, and the same
restrictions.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES
ANNOUNCES FOR BRYAN.

The Philadelphia Times, edited by
Col. A. *. Mcclure and one of the
ablest newspapers in the East, in its
issue of Monday comes out strongly for
Bryan and Stevenson and announces
that henccforth il purposes to aid In
rallying the Democracy Ito a hopeful
battle for the constitution and the
laws and rights of men," The Times
supported Mckinley four years ago and
before that had been an independent
newspaper with Democratic Ieanings
1t now says that the result has shown
that in supporting Mckinley four years
ago 1t WAS wrong and that sit is re-
pentcd and rccanted.' The Times thus
gives the reasons that influence its ac-
ton in supporting the Democratic
ticket:
"a false economic system has re-
suited in vast combinations of capital
that throttle individual industry and
hold control over all the functions of
government, and the spokesman of the
administration. a representative of one
of these great Trusts, is calling upon
his fellow-capitalists for contributions
to buy another four years license TO
rob, another four years life for their
Inflated and false prosperity. The gov
eminent thus controlled has found it's
fittest expression in schemes of military
conquest and the blood and treasure
of the nation are poured out to subdue
distant people and rob them of those
rights of liberty and independence that
America has always claimed for all
mankind.

WHAT WILL THE SOUTHERN
STATES DO ABOUT TIP

The real danger in the telephone sit
uation here is the Southern States. So
long as it with its maximum charge
fixed by law remains in the field, there
will always be a telephone service, ,cith
reasonable rate of charge, within the
reach of our citizens. The danger is
that our citizens may find themselves
dependent for service upon company
that can charge what it pleases.
The franchise of the Southern Bell
gives the Southern States the whip
Southern Bell come to its level of mini
mum rates for any given service. 1t
will be interesting to see whether the
Southern States will use this advan-
tage for what it is worth.
In the meantime, If the Southern
States imagines that it can jog along at
the old pace and hold Its patrons, it is
very much mistaken. 1t will not be
able to do anything of the sort. The
householder who can get a telephone
service for S12 year. that will enable
him to talk to any subscriber of the
system, will not pay s2S for the pleas
ure of having people call them up. The
limited service is all the average house
holder wants. and the Southern States
vice at higher charge than S3S, and thus
make business houses pay the differ
ence and q large profit besides
We do not believe that with its pres
ent schedule of rates the Southern
States will be able to remain in the
field and compete with the new Bell
schedule of charges without losing
money; and If it loses money it will not
stay in the field. The Bell schedule is
calculated to drive IL out of the field.

will accomplish this result speedily and
most effectively; and then our citizens
Will be subject to a telephone mono

not. what is it going to do about it?
If the Southern States. however. could

store for it. it would be reassurIng to a
public which is not greatly concerned

save to do without a telephone service.
or pay the charges demanded by a tele-
phone monopoly. that is free to charge
what it pleases under it's franchise.
The Southern States will have to de-
eide speedily what it is going to do.
Business men are not going to pay $50
a year for Bell phone and then ss8
for States phone. total SOS, even
though they have been satisfied hith-
erto TO pay $50 year for each. VIII
the Southern States discipline the Bell,
as the Bell franchise permits it to do.
or will it get out of the field? 1t will
have to do the one or the other.

unless State pride is extremely strong

loss by carrying Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. Any one who knows Illinois poll
tics realizes that it is naturally Il Repub-
lican State, and has gone Democratic
only once in forty years, and that when
the business elements were favorable to
the Democratic candidates.
The same is to be said of Ohio, with
the added statement that it has never
given its electoral vote to Democratic
candidate for the Presidency since the
war. Indiana is the only close State, and
those who know it best believe that the
Democrats will not win there. In both
Illinois and Indiana, exceptionally strong
men have been named as Democratic can
didates for Governor, and to an extent
they will aid Mr.. Bryan, but not enough
to overcome the sentiment held every
where against him by conservative and
thoughtful people. All this apparent

DECISIVE DEFEAT FOR BRYAN.
What ought to be accomplished is the
decisive defeat of Organism as disturb
ing factor in the politics Of this country.
The country cannot afford with each re-
curing four years to be upset from one
end to the other by the danger of a man
of such vagaries as he entertains obtain
ing control of the nations affairs. The
plea that is put forth by some men Of
ability that he can be rendered harmless
before election by the enactment of new
laws is hardly craftsmanship. Why place
a man in the Presidency whom you must
virtually put under bonds to keep the
peace?
Mr.. Bryan has so grievously wronged
the Democratic party that no Democrat
who really wishes to see the party get
back into public confidence ought to aid
and abet him at this time. He would de-
stroy the country's currency system IL he
could by substituting the silver standard.
Why give him Endorsement In that deter
,lination? He would abrogate the right
OF private contract, overturn the tradi-
tons, practices, and high position Of the
Supreme Court, and make impossible the
quick and effective maintenance OF public
order In times Of excitement and stress.
