How the Sight of Urchins Bathing in

New Orleans Tines Democrat. II saw
something yesterday that made me en-

signing deeply. you know there IS a
fountain Directly back OF the Hennen

Cotton Exchange alley. It has a per-

some sort. A lot OF ragged street ur-
chlns were clustered about the basin,
and others lodging in and out the cor

keeping watch against interruption.
One Of the sentries eyed me pretty
sharply, and then sang out: He's all

and four small naked bodies suddenly
bobbed up from behind the rim OF the

Other trees have been known to cover
an area Of thirteen acres. They are
frequently found near temples, and on
or near funeral mounds. The figs are

wood of the tree is porous and is al

purposes.

no Do AWAY Wlth Towns.

Ever since the Popullst convention
which met at Sioux Falls, and which
considered itself the real thing" in
Popullsm, exercised its lnalienabla
right to nominate vice president as
well as presidential candidate, the
Democracy has been sorely distressed
what to do with Towne. a silver re-
publican who was given tha second
place on the Populist ticket. And i is
still distressing problem. While
Bryan sent written instructions to the
delegates to the Sioux Falls convention,
his old comrades in politics, as to the
platform, he intlmated very sharply
that 1t would be wise to give the DEM
ocrats some show, and allow the vice
presidency to be settled by the Kansas
City gathering. 1t is now revealed that
Bryan is not at all taken with the idea
OF having Towne as his running mate,
but desires an eastern man, one chosen
by the Democrats of the Atlantic sea-
board states. In a letter to a friend
in Chicago Mr.. Bryan says that no
better man than Mr.. Towne can be
found for the place OF vice president,
but he says he is afraid the southern
and eastern Democrats viii think the
western members OF the party want
to dictate the makeup Of the ticket II
the Minnesota man is given second
place. Mr.. Bryan says in his letter he
thinks means will be found 10 bring
the silver Republicans and Democrats

ton.
This Is the first positive expression
Mr. Bryan has made on the vice pres
idency, and the report that hi has re-
Gently been in conference with Towne

will not only offend and jar the proprle-

Populists. but in all probability cs-
TRANCE the silver Republicans. The sill
yer Republicans will meet In Kansas
City at the same time the Democratic
convention convenes. and 1t is said they
will nominate Towne. In this event,
If the Democracy takes an eastern
Democrat. then will the Popultsts be
dlsgruntled and the silver Republicans
offended. with the likelihood that both
will leave Bryan ana his personally
chosen running mate to founder by
themselves. AS the situation stands
every day adds to Its perplexlty, with
the prospect anything but lovely for
Bryan.
