The tide of popular sentiment
10 strongly toward Bryan. No
man observant of what he sees
shout him can fail to recognize
this fact. No amount of shouting
for Mckinley can obscure it. It
Is in the air, and all the forces
which the Republican combina-
ton has at it's call cannot avail to
check and turn the tide that is
making for q change.

Environment.

II is natural for us to clothe our
thought in images made by our
daily avocations. The soldiers
life is a campaign, the sailors a
voyage, the merchants a profit
and loss account, and the farmers
an inspiration of the beauty and
majesty of nature that surrounds
his rural home. It is not the cir
cumstances of life only that in
huence us; it is the center as we'll,
the spot on which we set up our
observatories.
Some lives seem to lie out under
the smile Of the sunshine; others
in the face OF the east wind, and
In the teeth of the slanting rain.
One man looks off to the sunset
sky, and his fancy builds up be-
tween the bars of crimson light
something that looks like his cot
tage home, or the faces of his
wife and children, or the COWS
coming back from the pasture, or
the old farm cart jogging along to
market green fields and starry
nights, quiet waters and feeding
sheep, winding woodland paths,
fairylike chashings of light and
shadow, sunrise over the dashing
torrents, the yelled spiendor Of
the gathering evening, the trans
figurations of the moonlight along
the glades and meadows-all the
grandeur of lavish nature, beau
Hfui rs the blue of the skies and
the song and flow of running
water.
Another man looks off to the
Same sunset sky, and sees there
rampant lions, raging conflagra.
lions, flaming glories melting inte
one another, rivers of molten fire
gilded minarets of Oriental cities
The picture depends upon the eye
and the eye depends upon thu
man, and the man depends upor
= great may things, one of which
h the point Of view, which, for ;
better name we will call environ
ment.

said: Everyone is completely at sca 50
