IsKYAN'S POWER
Ie Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
 What is the secret of the power wiefded by this youngish citizen of Lincoln? Un- questionably it is the absolute confidence of the people of every political shade in the honesty of purpose which dictate the words and actions of William Jennings Bryan.

A story illustrating the Democratic sim plicity of the King of Sweden and Nor way is told in the Echo de Paris" by M. Gaston Bonnier, the botanist. M. Bon nier was botanizing near Stockholm when he met a stranger similarly occupied. The two fraternized, and M. Bonnier suggested that they should lunch together at an inn.
 No, come home and lunch with me, in- stead" said the stranger ,and he led the way to the palace and opend the gate M. Bonnier was naturally astonished, but his new acquaintance was most apologetic.
 I'm sorry" he said, "but happen to be the King of this country, and this is the only place I've got to entertain anybody in.
 So they went in and lunched and talked botany together all the afternoon.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Forgot All About His Horses

Congressman Littlefeld of Maine, the suc- cessor of the late Nelson Dingley in the House, who has twice distinguished him. self by brilliantly taking a firm stand against the machine" majority of his party there was at the University Club the other night, the guest of party of New York friends, relates the New York Conn., mercal.
 There was little doubt of his nomination last summer by the special Republican con- venton that had been called, but Littlefield thought it best to look very closely after his fences. So he shook his office prac- tice for about a month in order to 'naif' delegates. During this period he was travel ing over the district a good deal, and his family didn't see much of him.
 On the evening following the adjourn ment of the nominating convention, Little field was besieged at his home by hosts of callers, who came to congratulate him. While the punch was going around at the liveliest pace and the room was blue with cigar smoke, Mrs. Littlefield appeared at the door. She shook hands cordially with all her husbands assembled friends and neighbors, and then, turning to the hero of the hour, said:
 Well, Charlie, you got the nomination, did you?"
 "Yes. It was more than unanimous 1t was overwhelming. I really needn't have fretted over the thing at all'
 You are quite sure that you are all through with politics for the present."
 "Yes"
 "Then, please, before you. settle your self in the office again, go down to the stable and water the horses. I've been doing it myself for month back, when- ever l happened to think of it, and I'm tired of it."
 It was necessary to explain to the club men who heard the story that there are a good many thrifty people in Maine own ing elegant private ''turnouts" who never dreamed of the luxury of a groom or a coachman.

Tobacco Was His Unit of Value

When James Coogan, president of the borough of Manhattan, was at the Demo- cratic National Convention at Kansas City he was accosted by a long, lean bewhis- kered individual wearing an Arkansas badge, says the New York Tribune. "Ex- cuse me, partner" said the Arkansas vis- itor, "but I don't recollect ever seeing a hat like that before. Would you mind tell ing me where you got it?'
 The hat in question was a fine, flexible, snow-white Panama.
 That my friend, said MT. Coogan, "is not an American hat; bought it in Lon don.'
 q reckoned you did,'' said the Arkansas man, as he squirted stream of tobacco into the gutter. But would you mind tell ing me what hat like that cost, brother?"
 That hat" said Coogan, as he took it off to mop his forehead, cost me f7 10s.''
 Seven pounds 10," said the Arkansas man, "seven pounds of what? Tobacco?"
 MT. Coogan says it took him an hour to initiate his interlocutor into the mysteries of English finance.

Only a Boss to His Workmen

John R. Mcdonald, the contractor for the proposed New York tunnel for the rapid transit railroad, is about 56 years old, and has made his fortune by hard work. It is said that he can get more work out of his men without urging them than any other man in New York, unless 1t is John D. Crmmins, the millionaire railroad builder. One day last spring, at Jerome Park, where MT. Mcdonald is doing the greatest work of his life except the tunnel contract, a wis., itor noticed a square man, covered with mud and built like peg top, with wide spreading shoulders, talking to the fore man.
 Say" he asked of a laborer, Ifs that MT. Mcdonald, the famous contractor who is going to uild the rapid transit tunnel?'
 "Naw!" answered the workman. "He ain't no famous contractor. That's Jack Mcdonald, our boss.'

Tempest In A Teapot.

Mrs. Annie Herbst, who has
troubles Of her own already, was
charged in the District Court this
morning with assault on Mrs. Rahee
Mrs. Herbst has husband whose
name is Herbst but who apparently
has faculty OF disappearing when
ever his somewhat numerous wives
appear on the scene OF his labors.
Mrs. Herbst found that her giddy
husband had occupied room in the
lodging house OF Mrs. Rahe and
when she learned Of the fight of the
muchly married Herbst she called
on Mrs. R.he aud demanded the
property OF her husband consisting
of clothing and mosquito curtain.
Mrs. Rahe claimed that the confer
ence in regard to the meum ct tum
was not peaceful at all and that it
resulted in a box on the ear being
given by some unknown party to
her. As there was no body in the
room besides the two fair ladies Mrs
Rahe felt reasonably sure that the
blow was struck by Mrs. Herbst'
She admitted that the assault was q
minor affair compared to the mos
quito curtain, and at the moment a
young man arose and asked for a
German interpreter for the witness,
who is bis mother.
The prosecuting officer looked
around but found no one who could
act rs German interpreter. The
magistrate asked where the mount
ed patrol men were. The Dutch"
brigade was for once out OF sight
and tho only patrol man present was
Richardson, who can only speak
Irish. On motion of w. A. Kinney
who appeared for the deiendantthe
son of the complainant was sworn in
as interpreter and his work was easy
"a the witness as soon as she got an
interpreter insisted in speaking Eng
lish
When Mr.. Kinney finally arose to
make a spoech, the Judge excused
the learned attorney and dismissed
the ridiculous case.

WILL HARRISON GET TT?
Railroad SitIIa ton not Yet Set
 tied at Boone's Capital.

Whether or not Harrison is to get the main line of the St. Louis & North Arkansas railroad, or whether the town will be tapped by this line at all, is still a leading question with the people of the hustling city of Harrison. The Boone Banner of last week dis cusses the situation as follows:
 "The Construction Company has directed a corps of engineers to proceed to Harrison and to make a survey out of town. They will go down and across the creek about one mile below town and thence by the best and most prac- ticable route by Bellefonte, Val- ley Springs, Western Grove, Big Hurricane and St. Joe. As soon as this is finished they will make their report to the chief engineer, who in turn will report to the com pany the cost of building the road this route. There will be a meet ing of the directors of the compa- ny about the first of August to determine which route they will take of the three then surveyed, namely: From a point five miles west of town toward Dodd City going north of Harrison; from the same point, going south of town by the Cross Roads school house; or from the same point, through Harrison and on the Bellefonte route. MT. Deshazo, who is probably better acquainted with the topography of the differ ent routes and who will accompa- ny the surveying corps to point out the way, believes the Belle fonte route the cheapest and best. But the whole thing hinges on the recommendation of the chief en- gineer. If the Bellefonte route is adopted, will the $25,0 900 be forthcoming ? 1t will certainly require this much and possibly more for Harrison to get the road. It will be a calamity for this town if the southern route should be selected, which is most likely to be the one in case the people of Harrison fail to do their duty

OZARK TELEPHONE co.
A for Improved and
 Cheaper Service Made.

cheaper SCTVICC Nlaue.
 THE TRIBUNE takes pleasure in noting the fact that the long dis tance telephone line is now being over hauled and that not only better service is going to be af- forded the patrons, but a new rate card is to be issued in a few days which will offer much cheap CT rates. Ten cents will be the minimum with a proportional re- duction from former rates for long distances. When these rates are in effect, coupon books good for S5 in messages will be sold at 40 per cent discount, thus making the rate very low.
 E. Kimbley, who has recently taken charge as general manager of the concern, spent several days in Green Forest the past week, experimenting the construction of the line to Osage. He is a very pleasant gentleman, brimful of business, and he tells us that he is going to operate the telephone lines in this country so as to please the people, that he looks to them for patronage and they must have what they want. Be- cause his company controls all the long distance lines in this country they do not expect to monopolize the thing and rob everybody. He proposes to give them the best service at the least possible cost, and to do business with everybody in a satisfactory manner.
 MT. Kimbley is very much struck with the future prospects of Green Forest, and he thinks it probable that he will make an ef- fort to establish telephone ex- change here within a few months.
 THE TRIBUNE is very much im- pressed with the spirit of fairness and business expressed by Mr. Kimbley. We believe that it is fortunate for the people that the management of the line has fallen into the hands of so elegant a gentleman. We believe he will give us value received in the way of long distance telephone ser vice.
