idency. Mr.. Bryan expects to remain
at the fishing resort until after the re-
publican national convention. Bryan
received a great many callers and
there was much discussion of the po-
litical situation.
On the question of platform, the
trend of the discussion forecasted to
some extent the differences of opinion
which may arise at Kansas City. The
question is whether the money plank
and other troublesome legacies from
1896 will be handled by reaffirmatiou
ofo the Chicago platform in a lump. or
whether planks of the Chicago platform.
especially The money plank, will be re-
written Bryan favors rewriting much

Jones. according to credible advices,
advocates reaffirmation of the Chicago
platform as who e. end then
a quick transition 10 tie newer
issues of imperialism and the
trusts. When asked what he thought
the platform and issues this year
should be, Bryan said: II think the
three big questions before us are
money. the trusts and imperialism. /
believe the principles adopted in the
Chicago platform were adopted as a
part of the party creed, never to be
departed from. That. platform must.
however, be added 90 as new issues
arise. cannot undertake to say what
will be the paramount issue. No man
can. One thinks one question is the
biggest and another man thinks an
other is"

THAT is odd," Cicero rejoined, "for
you have u Sphinx at home to solve
them.''
Cicero's repartees We're seldom with
out energy. When Clodius had been
acquitted of the charge of sacrilege by
Jurors who had been brbed to bring
In favorable verdict Cicero, who ap-
peared as the defender of the republic,
left the corrupt jurors and the favor
ers and supporters of that verdict
without word to say for themselves
He overwhelmed Clodius in the senate
to his face in a set speech. Then fol-
lowed duel of words In which Cicero
was all along the victor. Clodius
among other insinuations, said:
You have bought a house"
"You would think that he said" re-
torted Cicero, you have bought a
jury!'
"They did not trust you on their
OATH" said Clodius.
YES" said Cicero, "twenty-five
Jurors did trust me. Thirty-one did not
trust YOU, for they took care to get
their money beforehand"
Here there was q burst of applause,
and Clodius broke down and remained
silent.
There is nothing coldly classic in
these examples of Cicero's ready wit,
they might have come from a latter
day master OF thrust and parry.

Local Treatments for Catarrh Rele-
gated to the Rear.

The surest and safest treatment for
any form of Catarrh is an internal
remedy which acts specifically upon
the blood and mucous membranes.
Such a remedy is the new preparation
sold everywhere by druggists as Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, a medicine in
pleasant tablet form.
These tablets contain in highly con-
centrated form, well known germ an
tiseptics like sanguinaria, glaiacol,
Red Gum and similar curative ele-
ments. and no one who suffers from
any form of catarrh, and has exuer-
fenced the inefliciency and inconven-
ience of powders, sprays and inhalers
will ever go back to such antiquated
remedies after once trying so pleasant
q treatment as Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets and one which gives so much re-
lief in so short n time.
Druggists sell Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets at fifty cents for full sized pack
age and their daily use will effectually
cure this troublesome and dangerous
disease.
The danger from catarrh is that 1t
is q short road TO consumption. to
chronic stomach catarrh and to ca
tarrh of liver and kidneys.
Most cases of deafness are caused
from stoppage of the Eustachian tube
as a result of catarrh.
