TRUE BUT IRRELEVANT.

The following declarations are taken
from the telegraphing report of single
speech of Bryan's delivered at Chicago:
"You can no more afford to steal
through legislation than in spite of leg
islation.
The amount of stealing by law is
infinitely greater in this country than
the amount of stealing in violation of
law.
"No citizen can afford to support a
bad law because he gets the benefit of it.
Rule men by love and you DOM
need large standing army.
"You can't acquire title to people by
purchase.
"You can't whip man and then
own him.
eff you would make men great lift
them up, don't strike them down.
"You can't tolerate monopoly. Its
tendency necessarily is to gather the
wealth of the country into fewer and
fewer hands.
Let our government be the servant,
not the master Of the people. Then
every man will die if need be to protect
that government.
Mr.. Bryan is an artist in the use of
platitudes. All the sayings above quot.
ed are wise, and were just as true half
a century ago as they are today, and
just as applicable fifty years ago as they
are today-but they don't go to sho,U
ashy Mr.. Bryan should be elected presi-
dent, though he adroitly makes them
do service to that end.
Mr.. Bryan is artful,
BY the mouth1ng Of old proverbs he
seeks to leave the impression on the
minds Of his hearers that the Republi-
can party stands for legalized robbery,
for ruling men with severity, for buy
ing the Filipinos like chattels, for fost-
ering monopoly, for making govern
ment into royalty to rule with despotic
power. He would not dare to make
such charges directly. 1t would dis
credit him to do so, but with infinite
art, he uses all the old proverbs that
can be dug out of the literature of the
nursery room just as though they were
controverted by his opponents.
Such conduct may be conceded to be
artful. 1t may even be regarded as cute,
but it is not an attribute Of greatness of
brain or breadth of mind. 1t is impos-
sible to imagine President Mckinley
standing before an audience of grown
up men and women and delivering with
frenzied eloquence a lot of old saws,
nursery precepts and plattitudes that
have seen service for half century.
Mr.. Bryan's supreme weakness is
that he does not know very much. His
supreme excellence is the showing he
makes with the little he knows. That
is art, and Bryan is an artist in artful-

An odd Sort of Dinner.

Lord Polkemmet, Scottish lord of
session, usually retired to his coun-
try residence during the part of the
year when the court does no business.
John Hagart, the Scottish advocate,
equally idle from similar cause, went
to shoot, and, happening to pass Lord
P.'s property, he met his lordship. who
politely invited John to take. or, as he
said, to TAX, family dinner with him
self, his wife and daughter.
John accepted the invitation, and
they all assembled at the hour of din
ner. There was joint of roasted veal
at the head Of the table. and stewed
veal at the bottom, veal soup in the
middle, calf's head on one side of the
soup and veal outlets on the other
calf's foot jelly between the soup and
roast veal and calf's brains between
the stewed veal and the soup.
'Noo," said his lordship in his own
blunt way, "N1r. Hagart, you may very
likely think this an odd sort of dinner
but yell no wonder when you hear the
cause Of it. We keep nae company
Mr.. Hagart, and my daughter here ca.
ters for our table. The way we do Is
Just this: We kill beast, as it We're
today, and we Just begin to cook it at
one side of the head, travel down that
side, turn the tail and Just gang back
again by the other side to where we be-
gan"

The Vampire Bat.

south America, especially Venezuela,
is the home of the vampire bat, that
horrible animal whose blood sucking
propensities are so well known. In
venezuela the vampire when caught is
often made the subject of an expert
ment that is as curious as it is cruel
though In connection with such loath-
some animal as this giant bat the cruel
ty is rather naturally lost sig!it 5f by
the people who have to suffer from its
ravages.
The vampire is captured in a thick
cloth. 1t is then taken out, and through
its two extended wings nails are driv-
en-, securing the animal to a door or
wooden paling. A cigarette is then
lighted and placed in the bats mouth
At once the animals eyes shine
strangely, and it begins to puff the
smoke In and out with frenzied gasps
its actions being exactly those of the
most hardened smoker, keeping firm
hole ef the cigarette the while between
its Sharp, deadly teeth. When the Gig.
arctic is nearly finished, blow on the
head puts an end to the animals ex-
1stence.
The extraordinary part of the expert
ment lies In the fact that the bat does
not at once reject the cigarette, as he is
Of course at liberty to do. There are
many who affirm that the bat really
does enjoy the tobacco. The probabili-
ty is that the animal is SO maddened
by fear and pain that he puffs away
unreasoningly and fercely, his instinct
telling him that in the properties of the
tobacco lies oblivion.

He Used the DYE

Queen Margherita Of italy was anx-
ious that her husband, King Humbert,
should follow the example of his fa-
ther and the fashion common among
elderly Piedmontese officers and dye
his hair. Her pleadings were in vain.
Seeing entreaty was in vain, the queen
had recourse to stratagem. She caused
quantity Of fine hair dye to be sent
from Paris and put in the kings dress
ing room, together with directions for
its use, making, however, no allusion
to the subject. The king, too, said
nothing, though he could not fail to see
the pigments.
Now, the queen had a large white
poodle Of which he was very fond.
What was her horror few days later
to see her pet come running into her
room with his snowy locks all turned
to jet black. King Umberto had ex-
pended the dyes upon changing the
color of the poodle's hair! From that
day forth the subject of hair dye was
dropped between the royal couple.

THE KING WAS BETTER.
But the Doctor Got Little Credit Fcr
His Efforts.

But the Doctor Got Little Credit Fcr
His Efforts.
A story illustrating the good sense
and humor of the late King Humbert
is told at the expense of his physician.
DR.. Saglione. Sometimes the king
from his hunting lodge of Castle E'u
sano went to the sea and amused him
self by shoveling sand into a caIt
"Take care, your majesty" said SaG!l
one one day, mot to perspirc 100

answered the king, resting his chin
on his two hands that grasped the
handle of his spade, 'this muscular eA
ercise does me much more good tIIau
your prescriptions" Yes. but one
must abuse nothing" But | tell you
that I feel very well, and you are
afraid you see in this poor shovel a
competitor" And, laughing heartily
the king finished filling his cart
However, by exposing himself in
every way without exercising any care
the king contracted bronchitis. which
took a chronic form and gave him a
rather troublesome cough. This cough
was source Of anxiety to the faith
full DOCTOR as he could not convince his
patient Of the necessity for taking med
icine. Occasionally the doctor was
even sent away abruptly by the king,
who would say, ri have not called you.
Why did you come? You may go |
thank you very mucn."
One evening, however, the doctor
thought he had gained his point, and he
prepared for the king in his bedroom
the powders he was to take during the
night. The next morning DR.. Saglione
rose very early, being very anxious to
know the effect Of his medicine. He
was received in the bedroom and at
once asked, "Well, how does your maj
esty feel this morningT'
Much better-I Ly say quite we'll"
was the response.
"Ah," observed the doctor, rubbing
his hands with satisfaction. "you see
the results Of listening to reason"
"What do you mean" asked the
king.
"The powdersw

The powders were in the waste paper

What queer things the ava-sae per-

any awkward blunder, the average
person thinks it very funny and laughs
and repeats the affair for a funny sto-

remark accidentally, his embarrass-

The per capita wealth of the United
States in 1860, when the effete Democ-
racy of the fathers surrendered the gov
ernment into the hands of the young
giant of Republicanism, was $614. In
1890 the per capita reached $109S, more
than double, aud the United States had
become the richest country on the globe.

Disappoipted,

A young man Of this city rang up a
lady acquaintance Of his in Court
street some days ago, but instead of
her answering the phone herself her
elder sister did so. The young man
recognized the difference at once and
said in suave, mellow voiceA
won't you please deliver message
to Miss Clara?'
Delighted at the prospect of carrying
message that might result in giving
her some insight into the relation that
existed between her sister and the
young man at the other end of the line,
she answered:
"Why, certainly, with the greatest of
pleasure"
"Well, tell her to come to the phone"

Anecdotes of Eyarts,

One summer when William NJ. Evarts
was at his country home in Windsor,
Vt, a farmer who had followed his po-
litical career in the newspapers for
many years was extremely anxious to
see him in the flesh and drove 1S miles
into town in order to catch a glimpse
of his idol.
Senator Evarts at that time was be-
ing entertained constantly, dining out
almost every night, and as he drove out
Of his grounds to an appointment one
evening the farmer was lying in wait
for him in the road. The latter, seeing
the pale, ascetic face and meager form
of the famous statesman, was disap-
pointed.
"Well, 1 declare" he exclaimed,
'looks as if he'd always boarded!'
An impromptu riddle is attributed to
him here at his country place. One
day In presiding at table with 4 swarm
of grandchildren about him he asked,
What is the difference between this
goose before dinner and me after?"
After much futile guessing he said in
quietglee:
