 Just the same.

Among tho soholars when Lamb and Coleridge attended school was a poor clergyman'e son, of the name of Simon Jennings On account of his dismal and gloomy nature his playmsses had nick named him Pontius Pilata One morn ing he went up to the master. Dr. Boyer, and said In his ususl whimpering man ner: t
 "Plsase. doctor. the boys call nc Pontius Pilate."
 If there was one thing which Dr. Boyer hated moro than c false quantity iu Greek and Latin. it was the practice of nioknaming. Rushing down among the scholars from bis pedestal of state with cane in hand he cried with his asual voice of thunder: il.i N
 "Listen. boysl The next time hear any of you say Pontius Pilate' I'll cano you as long as this cane will iastl You are to say simon Jennings' and not 'Pontius Pilate Remember that if yon value your hides"
 Next day. when the same clasa were reciting tho oatechism. a boy of re- mArkably dull and literal turn of mind had to repeat the creed. He had got as far as suffered under. and was about popping out the next words. when the doctors prohibition unluckily hAfh- ed upon his mind. After Q moment'a hesitation he blurted out. "suffered an der simon Jennings was"-
 The rest of the sentence was never uttered, for Dr. Boyer had already sprung like a tiger upon him. and the cane was descending upon his unfor. tunate shoulders When the irate doc tor had discharged his cane storm upon him, be nid
 "What do you mean. you booby, hy such blasphemyl"
 "I only did as you told me. " replied the simple minded youth.
 "Did as told youi" roared the doc tor, now wound up to something above the boiling point "what do you meani"
 As he said this he grasped bis cane moro furiously.
 "Yes, doctor. You said we were al- wayr to call Pontius Pilate Simon Jen- ningA Didn't he, Sam?" appealed the unfortunate culprit to Coleridge, who was next to him.
 Sam said naught. but the doctor. who saw what dunce he bad to deal with, cried:
 "Boy. you are a fOOll Where are your brains?"
 Poor pr Boyer for q second time was "hoored. for the scholar said. with an earnestness which proved its truth. but to the intense horror of the learned potentate;

DEMOCRATS AND STRIKES.
Efforts of Calamity HOwlers to Fo-
ment strife Among Labor
Ing Glasses

The news which comes from Wash
ington, TO the effect that democrats
high in the national councils of the
party are trying to foment labor
troubles, with the purpose of inaugu-
ratingan epidemic of strikes during the
coming summer, should not be sur
prising.
While it is not likely that there is
anything political in the present strike
of the machinists, il is undoubtedly
true that the followers OF Bryan hailed
the announcement of possible general
Industrial tie-up with joy. The demo-
cratic party thrives on that sort OF
thing. Eight years ago il made and
won its national campaign on the issue
of the Homestead strike, and four years
later it appealed to the passions and
prejudices of the people on the issue of
hard times. A series of big strikes dur
ing the coming summer would give Bry-
an and the democratic orators an un-
limited supply of ammunition, and they
would use il to the best possible adj
vantage. That is why the leaders Of
the party will do their utmost to TO-
ment labor troubles and create feel.
ing of unrest among the people. They
are willing to go to any lengths to de-
stroy prosperity by upsetting business
and industrial conditions, if they can
thereby gain an advantage at the polls.
On this account manufacturers who
wish the present conditions TO continue
should use their utmost endeavors to
INT ,t,, al ,,rith tha,,.
employees. This is not the time for an
Industrial war. and it should be avoided
by all honorable means that can be en-
ployed. If the democrats are trying to
promote an epidemic Of strikes in the
interest of that party they should be
checkmated by the employers of labor,
if that can possibly be done.-Clevc-
land Leader.

BRYAN THEIR FRIEND.
Philippine Insurgents Trying to
Hold Out Until He Is
Elected.

dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., Col.
Bryans capital, 10 the st. Louis Globe
Democrat is IN instructive commentary
on Col. Bryan's campaign against i'm
perialism. Capt. j. II. Culver, of the
Thirty-second regiment of United
States volunteers. is now at his home in
Milford. Neb., on leave of absence. He
is veteran of the civil war and is de-
scribed as conservative man. He says
that the insurgent army is divided into
small bands. which ''have been instruct
ed by Aguinaldo to hold out in small
parties, harass the Americans and carry
on II bushwhacking warfare until after
the fall election, when they expect their
friend Bryan to be elected. Bryan's
name is rs well known to them as the
name of Acuinalolo, because of the pub
LEGATION of extracts from his speeches
in the Tagalo language and the free
distribution of them
The admiration of Aguinaldo for
Bryan, the democratic party and the
rest of the anti-imperialist tagrag is
well known. The necessarily delusive
hopes of an Aguinaldian victory in the
United States have been and are the
chief support of the remnants of rebel
lion in the Philippines. Wherever Agui-
naldo is hiding or running he knows
that his only friends are the democratic
party and the Atknsonians. Undoubt-
cdly he eXaggerates their importance
as they exaggerate his. But he has a
right to take such allies as he can find.
The position of an American political
party and I'M American political leader
that are regarded by the enemies OF the
United States as their friends and their
reliance is not honorable or fortunate.

had spoken aloud. "If had such par

in confusion.

her eye. II hung it there where could

"Then you know what it is" replied
Martha, eagerly. Il get so lonesome
for pretty things to rest my eyes on.
Maybe it's wicked, for I've got good
home but there isn't one single thing
in it that is pretty like that picture and
carpet"
1T isn't wicked at all, Mrs. Bonney
spoke warmly. "Our Father would not
have filed the earth full of beauty, and
given us the taste TO enjoy it if it had
been wrong"
Mr.. Dewey, obtuse as he was, OBJ
served the contrast between this home
and his own, and he was touched by his
wife's evident delight in her surround
ings. Her eyes were shining, and her
cheeks pink as she followed her host
ess to the tasteful dining-room, where
the lunch was set out on pretty table,
bright with silver and crystal, for the
Bonneys lived as well as their guests,
and enjoyed their best things every
day.
A stand by the window was filed with
Easter lilies, each bearing tall shaft
of buds almost ready to blossom, and
in n little sewing-room adjacent, a table
was strewn with the details of an
Easter costume.
"We are in our annual furry" OBJ
served Mr.. Bonney, jovially. "Wife and
finery, but we old fellows don't have
much show in that direction, do we?"
"We don't make much fuss about
Easter at our house." replied Mr..
Dewey, uneasily, as he remembered
that not only Easter, but Christmas
and birthdays passed by unheeded.
After all, life was barren routine at
the Dewey farmhouse, and he was be-
ginning to realize 1t.
swell, Easter means so much to u.s."
Mr.. Bonney's rudy face was touched
with tender feeling, "that we love to
celebrate it with all the brightness and
beauty possible. BY the way, Dewey,
we are going to have especially fine
services in church on Easter Sunday.
Come in and enjoy 1t with u.s."
Mrs. Dewey looked at her husband.
