The camera man loaded and cooked
his machine, sought favorite spot and
waited lie had not waited long before
two big bears numbered out of the
woods and went to work cleaning up
the potato peelngs, bacon rinds, etc.
The man lwetched the brutes for
awhile, and then slipping from behind
a tree, tiptoed toward the animals,
holding the camera in such position
that he could quickly press the button
when the bears saw him approaching.
When within 30 feet of the animals they
scented him and turned in his direc-
ton.
The New Jersey man forgot what he
was there for. lie dropped the camera
and lit out FOR camp.
When he returned he was accom-
panied by all of the guides and their
rifles. The bears were gone, but the
camera was lying on the ground, not
where he left it, but a dozen feet or
more away.
The machine showed plainly the
marks of the claws of the bear, and that
an exposure had been made. 1t was
generally thought that the dropping of
the camera had done the trick. hut the

few days ago, showed wood scene that

took the camera in his paws, and,

practical. The issue is already de-
cided by the people, who are more
hostile TO silver than ever. If it is
brought forward again it will have to
be forced and the republican party
is the one which would naturally re-
vert to it because it was the source
of one republican victory and appeals
to public confidence in behalf of the
general soundness of republican doc
trne. That under these circum-
stances the democrats should refer to
it in any but the most pcrfunctory
terms is proof of eternal fitness in
the assignment to them of inability
to learn or forget anything.
But there is another feature of the
platform which is equally impractical,
and really astonishing evidence of in
capacity to understand and to grasp
a promising opportunity. The repub-
leans in congress have made an err
ror in their treatment of Porto Rico,
which is obvious to the whole coun-
try. They might, therefore, have
been attacked with great vigor and
singleness of purpose on the defects
of their governmental methods in the
island. But instead of sticking to the
point the democratic platform wan
ders off to the proposition that we
should grant the Filipinos their inde-
pendence because we are incapable of
governing them properly by any
methods. and then suggests that, hav-
ing set them free, we should protect
them against the aggression of other
powers. OF all the solutions of the
colonial problem that have ever been
offered this is the least acceptable, in
volving as it does limited powers with
vast responsibilities, and it is made
worse by the insinuations of the DEM
ocrats against their Filipino friends
and proteges, who 1t is said cannot
be citizens without endangering our
form of government Is it worth
while. then, to talk of the consent OF
the governed in connection with such
savages? Aguinaldo should call on
Mr.. Bryan for an explanation.
Taking the platform as n whole it
contains no promise of reunion of
the disorganized ranks of the democ-
racy. but points rather to further
disintegration. The party is in terri
BILE need of new leadership.-Chieago

He courted the muses. In vain.
His fingers plowed burrows through his

And a mountain seemed weighting his

Desperate, indeed, he smote the inkstand
And kicked the desk like mule
He swore that display had bridled his hand
And luxury made him fool
So he picked up his hat and went with a

To the shop that trades for your dime,
And he bought cent pen and q paper pad

To scribble his meter and rhyme;
Then UP in a garrett minus collar and coat,

And there on a table he wrote and he

ANTS AS STRATEGISTS.
The Industrious Insects Employ Ex-
ccilent Military Tactics in For
aging for Food.

From a military standpoint, the
methods employed by ants to provide
food for an ant colony are almost per-
feet. Their foraging parties are
faultlcss, both in planning and eXecu-
ton, and are almost uniformly suo-
cessful. a resident of this city who
is at present in business in South AZ
rica has sent home description of
foray of an army of ants.
The army, which he estimates to
have numbered about $4,000 ants.
started from their home, in the mud
walls of hut, and marched in the di-
rection of small mound of fresh
earth but few yards distant. The
head of the column halted on reaching
the foot of the mound and waited
for the rest of the force to arrive at
the place of operations, which evident
ly was to be the mound of fresh earth
When the remainder had arrived and
halted, so that the entire army was
assembled, number of ants detached
themselves from the main body and
began to ascend to the top of tho
mound, while the others began moving
so as to encircle the base of the
mound.
Very soon number from the de-

had remained on the outside of the

BRYAN'S NEW PLATFORM.
No Promise of "A Reunion of the Dis
organized Ranks of the
Democracy.

The platform adopted by the Ne
braslsa democrats is probably pref
ty close approximation to what the
national democratic platform will be.

ginning to end, was put forth really
under his name, and his is the intiu-
ence undoubtedly which is to control
at Kansas City. We may anticipate
events, therefore, by several months
as we glance at the elaborate and
complicated structure.
The first thing to invite comment
is the thoroughly fatuous insistence
on the money issue. This begins with
the Endorsement of the Chicago plat
form, which might pass as mere
formality, and appears again in some
three or four paragraphs further on,
where the old pibroch of 1896 has the
strident key of a death cry. 1t is safe
to say that so per cent. of the demo
Gratis of the country have n blank and
desolate feeling when they hear the
refrain "free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present legal
ratio of sixteen to one without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any
other nation" They know that it
means defeat, that it destroys all
hope of n restoration through the
new questions OF, the day

mirablc thing, the obstinacy which
refuses to recognize facts is differ

his infatuation that he is utterly inn

In so large party there was consid-

about half-mile from the camp in the
woods. The garbage pile failed to
grow, and the campers were at loss
to account for its disappearance. Fin
nlly one of tho men made up his mind
to go to the scene and watch for the
animal that came around regularly
every day to feed on the crusts Of the
table. He went to the point one morn
ing and sat in the bushes and waited.
Soon he heard noise, and in n minute
or so big black bear appeared Then
came another, and finally a third.
They ate all OF the garbage, and then
went away. The Plainfeld man con-
