Since the Administration has seized with
avaity the chance to divert to Manila six

A Really Funny Freak Bet.

A really novel and amusing bet IL
that between two enthusiastic parti-
sans of Mckinley and Bryan in Min
den, Neb. In the case of Bryan's
election the Mckinley advocate is to
march to the foot of steep hill
which rises for more than mile near
the city limits. He is to be escorted
by the republican, campaign drum
corps, by his successful rival, and by
as many Of the townspeople as may
care to attend. Arrived at the bot
tom of the hill. the task before the
losing politician is, to roll a peanut
from the base 20 the top Of the hill
with >toothpick. He is obligated
not to touch the peanut with any
thing but the toothpick and must
stay in the beaten road during the
entire journey. I'm case he does not
get the peanut to the hilltop in a
single days work he must seep on
the ground under guard and begin
again in the morning. The same
penalty will be paid by the democrat
if Bryan is defeated.

ON: Training Necessary,

The extent Of the training which

years old he was student Interpreter
in the Japan service; at FL years old
