JUNCTION, COLORADO, .,
BRYAN FIRST, DEWEY SECOND.

New York, April 6.-Ths hopelsssness
Of Admiral Dswey's candidacy for the
presidency is plain and his real friends
-as distinguished from political intri-
guers-have set about securing his nomi-
nation for the vice presidency with Bry-
an at the head OF the ticket.
1t is no secret that Dewey is aggrieved
at his treatment BY the administration
and it il understood that he plases no
small blame on the president for the fact
that there is war instead OF peace in the
Philippines. A succession Of sights
coupled with the blunders OF the presi-
dent in the management Of Philippine
affairs have made him willing to use all
his influence to defeat Mr.. McKinley's 3
aspira tions for reelection.
While Mrs. Dewey would like to see
her husband nominated for the presiden-
cy. it is understood she is not unwilling
to see him occupy second place. In the
recent discussion Of precedence which
was deter mined by the president and
Secretary Hay, Admiral Dewey was
ranked below Gen. Miles and all the
members Of the cabinent, placing him a
little higher than twentieth, Mrs.
Dewey felt the slight keenly. As wife
Of the vice president she would rank
next to the wife OF the president and
would particularly enjoy taking prece-
dence of the wife Of tho general COM
mandipg the army.

The Queer Ideas of Some Lads Repro
duced.
Examination papers often reveal the
strange ideas which somehow or other
get into the heads OF the person, youth
or adult, undergoing the ordeal OF dis
playing what he knows. The Harro-
Wan. monthly paper published at
Harrow, England's famous school. sets
forth some OF these remarkable hallu-
cinatlons. In his examination on the
Bible one boy wrote: THE man Moses
was very meek. He occasionally got
into a violent temper. which was the
cause Of his earthly death. Job was
swallowed by whale. Would there
were sword In my hand. for now
would kill thee said Moses to the
golden calf, when he came down from
the mount. Ruth went and weaned
the corn In the fields OF Boaz. Elisha
made Gehazi leopard. Six days shall
thy neighbor do all that thou hast to
do, but the seventh is the Sabbath. In

An Indian agent who was militia
colonel desired to Impress the Indians
with the magnitude of his dignity. He
dressed himself In full uniform, with
his sword by his side, and rising in the
council told them that one reason why
the Great Father had so much trouble
with his red children wns that he had
sent civilians to them. "You are war
riors," he said, "nnd when the Great
Father saw me he said: I will send
this man, who is n great warrior, to my
red children, who are warriors, and
they will hear his words.'" An old
chief arose, and surveying the speaker
from head to foot, said calmly: "Since
