thriving game of poker and had no
compunctions as to winning. Officers
at Emory were fighting shy of him.
He played too big game for their
small pay and pockets. and the men
with whom he took his pleasure were
big contractors or well-known Sports

thronged the frontier towns and most
men did them homage. But on this

They rubbed each other the wrong

bad for the boy. for in those days,
when army morals We're less looked
after than they are now, men of Bur-
leigh's stamp, with the means to en-
terrain and the station to enable them
to do it, had often the ear of officers
from headquarters, and more things
were told at such times to generals and
colonies about their young men than
the victims ever suspected. Burleigh

CAN'T STAND BRYAN.

There has been some talk that the
Germans would vote for Bryan on ac-
count of their opposition to imperial
ism" hut MANY of them seem to think
that there are worse things than i'm

though opposed to expansion and in

Bryan seems to outboss every other
boss by several lengths. The country

rs THERE my Bad MONEY?

The hesitation about accepting 500, 900
offered to Wellesley college by John D.
Rockefeller is an interesting incident.
1t appears that Mr.. Rockefeller, upon
solicitation of one of the trustees of
Wellesley college, had offered to make
gift of 100000 to that institution upon
condition that it raise the money to
cancel debt of 100000 then standing
against 1T. Upon this promise the
alumnae at once inaugurated a move
ment to raise the debt. When the time
came to accept the gift some of the pro-
fessors who had expended much elo-
auence in denouncing trusts in their
classrooms asked the board for an OPP
portunity to protest against the accept
ance of the funds. They had framed a
formidable indictment of the Standard
Oil company, based upon alleged levi
dence'' concerning the business meth
DDS of that corporation. The controver-
sy was finally left to Professor j. w.
jerks, professor of political economy in
Cornell University, who in the capacity
Of umpire" decided in favor of the en-
dowment on the broad theory that
college is public institution maintain
ed for public ends and, in sense, holds
it's resources in trust for the public, so
that any money, no matter what source
it comes from, may be honorably ac-
cepted by an institution of learning for
the general good of society.
The decision may not be very hearty
Endorsement of Mr.. Rockefeller, but it
secures the money, which is the main
thing. If some of Captain Kidd's treas
ure were found on one Of the islands in
this region and offered to Yale would it
be wise to refuse it on high moral
grounds?

QUIET YORK IN A QUIET CITY.

Philadelphia is the City of Homes,
the City of Brotherly Love, the City Of
Peace. etc, ETC., and it is also the city
of some of the worst politics with
which this country is afflicted. How
politics works there even in school
matters has just been illustrated in
which is going up. One of the school
directors, Milton Abbott by name,
thought he would examine the work
doing by the contractors to see whether
the specifications of the contract were
being faithfully carried out. When he
entered the building, or as soon as his
purpose was discovered. he was put
out. He applied to the inspector OF
public buildings and to the city archi-
tect for authority, but could get none.
Els suspicious being aroused, he APP
piled to the city comptroller, and sue
ceeded in getting an inspection made,
when it was found that the contractors
were not complying with the terms of
the contract, but were despoilng the
city. Doubt is expressed whether hon
est work can even now be enforced,
since the inspector ard the architect
appear to consider it to be their duty
to shield the contractor.
The Republicans can't point with
pride to Philadelphia any more than
the Democrats can to New York.

wants to keep the Philippines, but Bry-
ans protectorate scheme is much more
dangerous. Even if the currency ques-
ton were not the most important Bry-
an could not demand support from an
anti-imperialistic point of view" The
Gold Democrats are sensible people,
says the Pittsburg VolksDlatt, and
they regard the election of Bryan to the
presidency of the United States the
worst misfortune that could happen to
the country" The Chicago Staats-Zei-
tung says: "Those who wish for d con-
tinuance of fair weather must spare
neither money nor eXertions to insure
the victory Of the Republican party"
"Voters who are afraid Of imperialism
must bear in mind that the president
cannot spend money for military pur-
poses without the permission Of con-
gress," says the New Jersey Freie lei
tung.
Most of the German voters feel oblig-
ed to be sensible in their political atti-
tude, and being sensible prohibits them
from voting for Bryan.

CHINESE DRIED OYSTERS.

calls a 'glocely stol,' which is as near
as he can come to grocery store. lie

ly he said: You likee dly ostel?'
What in the name of CONTIGUOUS is
IDLY ostel?" / asked before | realized
that he was talking about dried oysters
Come! I show he replied and, OPEN
ing the lid of a big box, he took out q
handful of what looked exactly like oy-
sters carved in mahogany They We're
not shrivelled and warped, like other
dried foods, but were as plump and
symmetrical as any well conditioned
bivalve fresh from the deep shell. The
only difference was that they were dark
brown in color and as hard as bricks.
When Lee Zip tossed them back into
the box they ratified like a handful of
marbles. OF course. I was greatly sur
prised. and before I left l took pains to
find out all about them. The oysters
are caught anu pIepdIeu dt tile pi5 ma
tive shrmperies on the other side of
the lake The process is a trade secret,
but as nearly as l could gather from
Lee they are spread on the tops of large
sheds and exposed to the sun for sew
eral weeks. What prevents decomposi-
ton ! do not know, but they come out
of the operation as sweet and brown
as nuts Last night l tried some by
special invitation in the back room of
laundry run by another Monaghan
friend of mine They were brought in
in bowl and formed a sort of stew or
saute, which was really delicious. The
oysters themselves were firm, but eX-
ceedingly tender, and had a peculiar
peppery flavor, different from anything
else I have ever tasted. The Chinaman
who did the cooking told me he had
simply boiled the dried oysters in water
and added a small strip of pork and
seasoning When | tried to probe in
to the seasoning feature he suddenly
lost command of English, so there, I
suspect, the secret resides. I am told
that the local colony consumes many
barrels Of these oysters every month
and that large quantities of them are
sold in San Francisco and New York.

At last it is possible to understand

which make it possible are furnished by

of the London Times, who has succeed

toward the Chinese He says there has
been treachery and gives proof in sup
port of his charge. The imperial au-
thorities seem to have encouraged the
Boxers as long as they thought it would
pay to do so, and then called them
local brigands." Imperial troops have
been besieging the legations, and the
gallantry of their leaders has been APP
plauded in imperial DEGREES. The Ger

Kansas, in celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of her admission into the
Union as Territory, purposes to hold
in 1904 at Topeka, her capital city, an
Interstate exposition, to which the
world will be invited. A strong organi-
cation has been effected to plan and
carry forward the undertaking, and the
preliminary work has already vigor-
ously begun. f. d. Coburn, secretary
Of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, is
the present head of the directory, and
Captain H. M Phillips, of Topeka is
the secretary, who has matters direct
ly in charge The promoters of the en-
terprise promise that Kansas, through
this 1904 exposition. will reveal herself
to the world in an attractive light,
hitherto little suspected by those who
at a distance have unwittingly regard
ed her as merely a part Of the wild
and woolly West.
