Bryan has not yet overcome his habit
of talking. In recent interview he
says the democratic party should con-
tinue the fight on the lines of the cam
paign of this year, free silver, anti
Imperialism, anti-militarism, and speaks
of his parsy's duty against corporate
greed. He says their defeat does not
mean that they ought to abandon any
principle. He uses his familiar forms
of speech and even refers to Lincoln
and to the declaration ofindependence.
Bryan has had remarkable career for
so shallow thinker. 1t is an interest
ing question as to how much attention
his party will give to his opinion. The
country at large has very slight opin'
ion of his wisdom, craftsmanship, OF
political sagacity.

Jugdge Smiths Stories.

The Washington correspondent of
the Des Moines Capital thus tells of
the Few congressman from this district:
Judge Smith was on the ground a
few days before congress convened,
and he will "get onto the ropes early in
the game" He ore new clothes, and
his rudy complexion, caused by Iowa
winds and few months of hard cam
paigning, gave him the appearance of
IAN old-timer." He first went to the
teacher, Speaker Henderson, and found
out what books he would have to buy
for his first term at school, and he is
staying home nights studying hard and
is endeavoring to catch up with the
class that has had four years the start
of him. The chances are that the judge
will not remain in the Conditioned
class long-not if he can help it. The
Judge still wears his black felt SOM
brero, but the older boys are not going
to poke any fun at him just because he
wears hat In Texas. They are al
ways kind to the beginners. A new
Iowa member can get lots of pointers
from the other boys, who know as
much as any of the boys in the school,
and they are not going to see that the
new Iowa recruits are run over. III
game of crack-the-whip is suggested,
and an attempt is made to get new
Iowa recruit on the tail end, one of the
wise boys" from Iowa is sure to give
the young man who has reached the
red top boot" period of legislation
quiet tip to stay out of the game.
Judge Smith was very anxious to get
here early. At an unguarded moment
ut the last state convention he told
Julian Richards few of his latest and
choicest stories with which he has re-
called his admiring constituents during
the campaign. Julian pronounced all
his stories good, and new as well, and
laughed heartily when he listened to
the judges entire repertoire. II am
much obliged to you, judge, remarked
Julian, with an abdominal chuckle, II
will get back to Washington before
you do, and by the time You get there
your stories will be a chestnut brown
in the CLOAK rooms" Perhaps this ac-
counts for the Judge getting here early;
at any rate be reached Washington
before the speakers clerk got there,
and has already commenced to estab-I
lish reputation as "a charming cloak
room entertainer"

Whether the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
ought to be ratified or not We do not
presume to say, but we do think the
charge by some that Secretary Hay
will resign if it is not approved is I'M
warranted. We have considerable ad-
miration for the learned secretary. He
is another complication that expert
ence adds strength. This is becoming
more an age of specialties. Secretary
Hay has spent almost lifetime in the
work of diplomacy and closely related
subjects. He is now familiar with in
ternational questions and brings his
extended experience to his aid. The
advantage of having an experienced
diplomat at the head of the state de-
partment was never more adyantag'
iously shown than now.

We have thrust upon our attention
again and again that it is the trans
gressor of the law that makes high
taxes. OF course our school taxes are
always heavy which is right, but after
them comes the big county levy, and
each returning term of court brings to
mind the fact that the small and the
large criminal cases eat up lots OF
county money and make our county
levy big, and keep the county behind.
Those few who violate the law are con-
tinual expense to the rest of our people
who have to pay for it.

had anticipated making the sorosis Club her home
while here, and was amused when Mrs Jenny June
Croly told her that the pioneer wonan's club had
almost social life beyond its monthly luncheons
and annual dinners and that this state Of things
prevailed IN the average American club. That Mrs
Tweedie should have been sstonishe6 to find this
condition OF the average woman's club in this
country is not surprising. IN London there are
twenty social clubs that have substantial homes
which are provided with ali the convenience and
many Of the luXuFies Of life. DISTINGUISHED

This woman's favorite way of cooking mushrooms
IS dreaming them. She first boils them in q little
sailed water until they tender, and then turns
over them a cream sauce. Another method which
she often employs is to put them into a baking
pan add a little sailed water and cover the pan
tightly allowing the mushrooms 70 steam until
they are tender.
For broiling she cuts the steam rather short and
broils them first on one side ana then the other
Mushrooms are also excellent roasted. To do this
the giIIs are sprnked with salt, and they are laid
head down on a pan and put into a medium oven
There Is no end TO the elaborate ways OF pre-
pairing them for the table. but genuine mush-
