Giving Him n Rest.

The energy of one of the oldest In

not inherited their full share of his ac-
tive temper.
His grandson John In particular suf-
fers from the old mans untiring indus
try, for John is his assistant in the lit
tie grocery shop, where everything,
from Goldfish to broOms, may be found.
A purchaser of glngersnaps fingered
one day to hear the noontlme address
delivered to poor John by his grad
father.
"Now, Johnny, I'm a.golng home for
my dinner" said the old man briskly,

chair.
"Or If you want to borrow $40 for a
day or two you can have 1t and well

The major stepped, and Mr. Shine re-
moved his collar, tie and cuffs. Then
he spat on his hands and limbered up

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Many Things of which It's Gradu-
ates Are Ignorant.

Many ThtnR9 OF Whtch Its Gradus
ates Are Ignorant.
The failure of the Sunday school as
a means Of giving a systematic and
thorough knowledge Of the Bible is
great A teacher In a city high school
asked an advanced class OF 40 or 20 pu-
pills, who had been drilled for years in
the International Sunday School Les
sons, how to proceed In order to reach
Palestine, and not one could give the
desired information. Then she asked
the class in what part Of the world
Palestine Is located, and no one knew.
That Is very good specimen Of Sun
day school teaching and can be paral-
leled anywhere by those who will take
the trouble to ask few questions. The
ignorance Of the Bible on the part Of
most persons of average intelligence Is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer on the
part of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed,
but not unless the training goes much
beyond the standard of the common
school. Again and again 1t has trans
PRED that those who We're generally
well Informed, who were fairly well
educated and regarded as bright and
clever, were almost totally ignorant OF
the Bible. Their Sunday school train
ing had given them no knowledge of
the book that was of any value, and,
however much they might have read 1t
since, it was to them n sealed volume.

PAYNE'S

Vice Chairman Henry C. Payne of
the republican national committee
has received reports concerning the
conditions in western states carried
by Bryan at the last election, and ex-
presses himself as we'll satisfied with
the situation. The conclusions reach
ed are as follows:
Certain for McKinley-Kansas,
Wyoming. Washington, South Dako,
ia.
Probably for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Utah.
Fighting ground-Idaho, Montana,
Colorado.
That there has been a great rev.
olution in the political sentiment in
the western states which went for
Bryan in 1896 is certain" a y Mr..
Payne How many of these states
we will be able to carry | do not wish
to say positively, but the changes in
these states from Bryan to Mckinley
have been as pronounced this year as
they We're from Mckinley to Bryan
four years ago. In the first place the
people there are, almost to a man, ex.
pansionists. When Bryan insisted on
putting free silver in the Kansas City
platform for their benefit and then
followed with the statement that it
was only a secondary issue after all,
they became disguised, as they had no
use for his paramount issue of imper.
iaism.' In the second place, all these
states have shared in the general
prosperity of the country, especially
the wool growers, who are getting
three times the prices they did four
years ago, and they do not care to
change political conditions"
Secretary Perry S. Heath of the re.
publican national committee, who has
recently made a tour of the west.
says: in Wyoming the chances of the
republicans are nine out of ten. In
Kansas they are equally good. South
Dakota is practically sure for McKin.

The Sixth district of the Union Pa
cific is o employing thirty-two train
crews, the largest number in the ser
vice since 1890. The only reason why
more arc not employed is because
good men in sufficient numbers can
not be secured. Thirty-two train
crews are now capable of handling
twice the business the same number
of crews could handle ten years ago.
The capacity of the cars has been
doubled and the power of the engines
has been doubled. In spite of this in
crease in the capacity of the company
for doing business there is now n
congestion unparalleled at this season

THOMPSON'S CAMPAIGN.

1t is a campaign of desperation
Thompson is waging. Vituperation is
his weapon. By denunciation he hopes
to array class against class and incite
the jealousy of those who are unfortu-
nate. The people Of Wyoming have
been fooled in this way once. In 1892
they concluded the rich were getting
richer and the poor were getting
poorer, butwhen they voted the demo
Gratis into Office they found the poor
were not half so poor as they could be
made and that none was so rich as to
be beyond the reach of the blight
brought by the democracy upon the
nation. Even the money-lender suffer
ed, for the reason that his securities
became worthless. Mr.. Thompson is
saying that Mr.. Mondell is so obscure
in the city of Washington hat it is
der to ascertain who Wyoming's repre-
sentative is. This comes with poor
grace from the Kentucky failure. Who
ever heard OF John Charles amounting

been a success? AS a lawyer, can any
client pointtoany case he has conduct

stituents. 1t was Mondell who secur-
ed the passage of the second home
stead bill in the last session of con-
gress, n measure of the greatest i'm
portanCe to the people of Wyoming
and the entire west, and had it not
been for the democratic opposition en-
countered he would have secured the
passage of a law granting desert lands
to actual settlers who reclaim the lane
and make it productive without the
payment of S1.25 per acre. Mr.. Mon
dell has the interests of the people at
heart and is active, untiring and ener-
getic in the transaction of their bust
ness.
In reference to this matter the
Cheyenne Leader makes some timely
remarks, from which we quote the fol-
lowing:
There are few men in the house
better or more favorably known than

he is modest to a degree that pleases
Everybody in Washington and makes

is certainly bad taste for Thompson to
tell people of his own superior quail
ties and by inference say that he is a
great man as compared to the rcpub-
IIta,, candidate He frrsaat ahiltt u

cd since he has lived in Wyoming,
and if he has the first element of
greatness in his character no IN has

habit of swelling up while before al

lower class of vanity and reminds one
of tn" toad which swclls up to prove

%portanCe. If Thompson is going ovcr
tho state to convince people of his
superiority to Mondell his expenses
should be paid by the republican state
committee, for he will make votes for
the republican ticket. When a man
like Thompson, who has eve accom-
plishcd anything, and claims that he
since he was twenty-one years old,
compares himself to Frank w. Mon,
dell, who has, by his ability and IN
firing eXCrtions built up a great in
dustry in his state. carved out and
erected one of the thirteen counties
of Wyoming, and made for himself
the reputation of being an honest
man: has served in the senate of his
state four years, and served in the ma
tional house of representatives an
other four years, and for two years
was the assistant commissioner of the
land Office at Washington, he makes
not only a great political blunder, but
on the contrary shows himself to pc
sess not an atom of sense.
Thompson, in this campaign, is
rushing on to destruction. The PEG,
pie are in no humor to be triled with
and it had been better for the demo
cratic candidate if he had remained
at home. Everybody of course under
stands Thompson does not expect tC
be elected, and his only object in max
ing the race for congress is to place
himself in a position so as to make
the claim that he is the real head Of
the democratic party in Wyoming, ant
will be entitled to an appointment un
