An ''old-fashioned girl" with womanly
ways, e
Ard . winsome and womanly face;
A girl who Is innocent, modest and

Who is sensible, honest and true
The kind that win surely be obsolete
In another short year or two.
She isn't ambitious for questionable
fame,
She doesn's ape man in her dress,
She doesn't read books that have q
bad name,
Nor herald her "views'' in the presu;
She Doesn't use slang nor smoke
cigarettes,
Nor loudly expound 'sWoman'H
Rights"
She shuns all the fads Of the "fashibn-
able SETS"
And ''home" is her chief of delights.
She's only an "old-fashioned girl"

And not in the least "up-to-date, y
But she is the kind OF 9 girl for me,
And the kind that want for mate.

WILL SUPPORT BRYAN.
Former Senator German Loyal to
His Party.

WARRINGTON, Feb. l4-Ex.S Senator
German, who was ct the Capitol to-
day for the first time since the present
session of Congress assembled, la an
interview with a Post reporter, said
that his efforts heretofore had been
directed against the denomination OF
William Jennings Bryan as the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency,
be believing it would not be wise, but
he was now convinced "that nothing
can prevent his select on as the head
OF the Democratic ticket"
"He certainly" added Mr.. German,
"has the people behind him to re-
markabIe degree"
Asked II he would support Bryan IL
nominated, he replied: "Certainly
Isupported him In 1896, and / shall
support him again this year. lido not
propose to desert my party"
He expressed the opinion that bis
party's prospects, were improving,
saying that the Nicaragua Canal treaty
and the Philippine problem were
helping the Democrats. The passing
of the currency bill, be also thought,
would help the Democrats, because IL
would remove danger OF free coinage
of silver and bring back to their party
the men who left 1t In 1896 on the siI-
yer issue.

AEDREE STORY CREDITED.
Eskimos Tell of Two White Balloonists
Who Were Murdered.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-A letter received
In London from Bishop Newman, Of
Moosonee, dated Fort Churchill, Hud-
sons Bay, Oct. 1, says:
"Two Esklmos came here this sum-
mer, travelling from the Far North, to
to tell that two white men had come
down from the sky in balloon, the
remains of which they had seen, and
that the men had been murdered by
some Eskimos there"
The story is considered to be au-
thentie and probably solves the mys-
terry surrounding the fate Of Professor
Andree and party.

Bourke Cochran.

The following letter to w. r,
Ready, of the St. Louis Mirror, In ref
erence to Bourke Oockran's participa-
tion in the campaign OF 1896, will be
Of interest to all those who pay any
attention to national politics.:
Mr.. Cochran, to my personal and
official knowledge, refused to accept
one cent for any speech he made
during the campaign Of 1895. Our
organization had an ample fund, be-
Ing national and operating In all
the doubtful states with speakers and
literature. Mr.. Cochran not only
refused to accept q dollar Of cur
money-but he paid all his ossH es-
peases. He refused to take our ample
fund for the actual outlays he made.
Mr.. Oockran's services were pro-
cured absolutely by our organization.
Every speech he made by arrange
ment with rs.
Moreover, Mr.. Cochran, TO my
knowledge, never charges for lectures
for charitable objects. |, n1yeelf, have
rendered HIM large fees for such
lectures, within the past few years,
which he always refused to accept.
Fact versus "popular acceptance OF
. theory" Yours very truly,
