BRYAN is GAINING Reports from
the centres Of campaign activity in
many States classed as more or less
doubtless in the coming election indi'
cate that the contest is much closer
than might be supposed from claims
and estimates made by the rival ma
tional committees.
In six States-New York, Ohio, To-
diana, Illinois, Kentucky and Nebraska
substantial gains are reported for
Bryan as compared with the vote cast
for him in 1896. The democratic nomi-
nee appears to have a fighting chance
in the four States first named, while
Kentucky and Nebraska are placed in
the democratic column by sale plurali-
ties.
Tbs democratic national committee
Saturday decided to push the fight for
Bryan more particularly in New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia and Connecticut.
The republican national campaign
managers issued revised statement,

A CURIOUS SHOE TRUST.

Doylestown has four odd characters who pool their issues in buying shoes. They all have the same sized feet, and each regards this fact in the nature of a libel perpetrated upon him by the other three. Every year eaciis one of the quartette chips in eighteen dollars, and the fund of seventy-two dollars is ex- pended for shoes. Buying them in such quantities. there IS naturally reduc- tion in price. One would think that there would be an equal division of the shoes; but that isn't their little game. The shoes are owned collectively, share and share alike, and when not being worn they are kept in closet in the express office. which Is the general lounglng place of the quartette. If one man wants to wear new shoes, he goes to the express office and puts them on. If he wants to change off to pair that has already been broken in he does so. If he wears russets in the daytime and wants to wear patent feathers in the evening he goes to the express office and makes the change. They have been doing this for several years. and claim they wouldn't wear shoes in any other way.-Philadelphi Record.
