out OF doors in summer, and the bed

with interior curtains to keep out the
morning sun, the gaze of the curious
and the sandstorm. The bed is a cot
of canvas or woven wire, covered. per

much in public about its midsummer.

temperature was in the sun. He said
he didn't know, and the government
couldn't afford to experiment to that
end. He said he had attempted to
catch the sun temperature during the
summer of 1898, and had broken a
three-dollar thermometer in the at
tempt. To please my curiosity he

In the Kansas City Journal, republi- can, of July 18th, was three column illustrated article on the slave produc- tion of coffee in the Sulu islands. These islands are under the protection of the country and our flag floats over them and the slaves. The XIIIth amendment to the constitution of the United States reads this way:
 Neither slavery or involuntary servi- tude, except for punishment for crime whereof the arty shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or in any place subject to their jurisdiction.
 Now my loyal friend, how you are go- tug to reconcile these conditions i? Slave " exists under the Jurisdiction of this country, and the grand old repub lican party controls the nation in every department. Whois trampling down the constitution? But the rich and powerful can do no wrong against the weak and helpless!-[ Appeal to Reason.

Beauty and Bad Temper.

Physicians assert that an immense amount of nerve force is expended in every fitof bad temper; that when one little part of the nervous system gets wrong the face first records it; the eyes begin losing the luster of youth i; muscles become flabby, and skin fails to contract accordingly, and the re- suit is wrinkles-femininty most dreaded foe.
 The average man is mortal being who prizes physical and mental com fort above the glory of possessing for wife beautiful, attractive creature with an uncomfortable temper, for he knows that peace and content and bad temper walk not together. The assertion from a woman that she has bad temper and is proud of it, has kept more than one man from asking her to be his wife. The woman who can control herself under the most trying circumstances, is the woman who holds the strongest power in the home; and amiability is not only power, it is mental progression, health and happiness to the possessor thereof, and to the lucky ones who move in her orbit,
 lndulging in fit of bad temper shortens life. When you tell woman that each time she loses control of her temper she unhinges a moral brain cell and weakeus by several degrees her ability for self control, and at the same time strengthens tremendously her chances for an attack of nervous prostration, you are wasting Q lot of valuable breath. But, when she is cool and serene, aud at peace with all the world, if you can convince her that each fit of temper adds year to her age by weakening her mental force, and by tracing craw-tracks about her eyes, and ugly lines around her mouth, she will probably think twice before again forgetting herself. For, no matter what she asserts to the contrary. Woman prizes youth and beauty above other gifts.

TIE St. Louis Republic, in an article , entsAmericanisrn," says: MT. Bryan's Indianapolis speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President of the United States will take rank in
 history as one of the greatest exposi- tions of the true American people.
 Recognizing imperialism as the para mount issue of the campaign of 1900, Mir. Bryan has presented to his coun- trymen an argument against Empire
 which it is impossible to eontrovert. The Democratic leader did not need to evolve new theories or to take upon
 himself the responsibility of leading the American people into new paths. All that was necessary was to review the teachings of the Americans who established this Government and under
 whose system it has grown to great ness and glory. MT. Bryan did this with singular skill and with lofty faithfuluess to the American doctrines which must be repudiated and abandoned before it is possible to sub scribe to tie imperialism of President Mckinley. More clearly than ever does MT. Bryan's Indianapolis speech make the fact apparent that the peo- pie of the United States now confront Q crisis where they must choose def nitely between the Republic and Elm pire. He has shown the criminal folly of believing that the Republic can ex- ist half Empire and half Republic, with free people on the mainland and subject peoples in outlying colo nies. We cannot conquer and sub jugate other peoples without ceasing ourselves to be free people. If we are determined to embark on career of conquest for Empire we must for swear our allegiance to the teachings of the early Americans and be willing to accept Empire in the pldce of the old Republic. Mr. Bryan's Indiana polls speech should be read with the most earnest interest by every Areri- can. It is B justified plea for con tinued faithfulness to tine principles of liberty, of justice, of popular govern ment. of fitting regard for the rights of man. It is such speech as Patrick Henry might have made in like crisis, or Thomas Jefferson, or Abra- ham Lincoln. It is an American speech--and it must prevail before the American people if this Government is to remain free Government and ,llis Republic Republic.

FoR four years the Republicans have watched like hawks to catch Bryan tripping, and they have failed, utterly and completely. He has simply stood by his colors and made the fight for the eternal principles of Democracy i, and the people are with him in the fight.
