DESTINY WHAT WE MAKE TT
So Declares Bryan to the Ne
braska Bryan Cub of
Chicago.

Chicago. Sept. 10.-William j..
Bryan was the guest this morning
OF the Nebraska Bryan Club of
Chicago, at a reception held at
the Sherman House. Col. Bryan
having shaken hands with 200 Or
more people, was introduced by
M. V..,Gannon, president of the
club, and said in pert:
SIN this campaign we ARE
standing upon the great funda-
mental principles Of human rights
and human liberties. We insist
that this is not g question of what
this nation cAn do, it is a guess
ton of what it ought to do, and no
president can tell the American
people what their dgty is. They
decide for tn mselves. No presi-
dent can tell US what our destiny
is. Il is what We make it and
in the hands OF the American pao-
pie we leave these great problems,
with the confident belief that the
patriottsm and INTEL gsnae Of the
people will be equal to- I'll s emer-
gency SIS they have been equal to
all the emergencies of the past.
Mr.. Bryan later addressed an
audience at the University of
Chicago, consisting OF more than
one Thousand persons, mostly
women. With brief preliminary
inyodpctofy, remarks Colonel
Bryan began the attack upon the
present form Of government, as
sailed trusts, The single money
stsndard,baDk notes, large stand
ing army and imperialism. One
auditor, when the speaker talk
ing of the disposition of the
Philippines ,'inveighed against q
system which would permit one
class from ruling another, asked:
Glow ABOUT the situation in
North Carolins?"
instantly the speaker replied:
"Let the race question which
has brought US SO much trouble
be a warning to you not to bring
another race question into this
country; and we do not have to
go to North Caroline, either. fol
we have it right here in Illinois
and Ohio"

Nary a blue streak had been
seen in M,lkenny's sky that day
and nary a minute had its pitchy
blackness ceased to pour rain
upon the earth.
Patrick had toiled in the fields
from morning until evening and
limo good humor had he laid
aside his implements and starts
ed toward home. AS his heavy
boots pounded upon the walk
they sent out a tune of ill humor.
Bridget, in the kitchen, had
been washing all day Her US
ually rudy complexion was
heightened to a crimson bril-
liancy by the steam from the
suds. Her loose. straggly hair,
her ilhitting dress, and a pair
of the sod man's' boots breath
ed an air of crabbedness and
fight.
"Patrlck, get me a pail of was
ter. Yer wet an it'll harum ye
none to go into the rain"
Patrick grunted, grabbed the
bucket, and started for the
pump.
Vigorous was the stroke Of the
old handle. Hardly had a drop OF
rain time to fall into the pail be-
fore it was full.
His boots again brought into
the air a noise, but this time
more angry and vicious.
In the kitchen, bucket in hand,
he looks at his wife. Then the
bucket is raised and the contents
plunged upon Mrs. O'Hooley.
"There, now, ye're as wet as
l am. Go get yer own water"

GREAT SOURCE oFWEALTH

The South has Ia its cotton seed
material a variety of products, for
which an immense and growing
demand exists and the vast pos
sihilities of which are Just begin
ming to be appreciated. 1t has not
been very many years since cotton
seed was regarded as waste and
was gladly gotten rid of. It is
now worth many millions a year
to the South and is constantly be-
coming o valuable.
The use of cotton seed products
is increasing in Europe as rapidly
as in our own country. Mr.. Skin
ner, our consul at Marseiiles,
France, has sent to the treasury
department. a report VII ca indi-
Gates that there is even a greater
future for the cotton seed indus
try than mest persons suppose.
Consul Skinner states that cotton
seed oil is rapidly crowding out
the use of olive oil even in coun-
tries where the olive tree is indi-
gerous. He has atatAosity for say
ing that French farmers seem dis
posed~to cease the cultivation Of
THE olive entirely because ST the
proftab!eaess OF tie crop. He
cites one instance in which 40, 600
olive trees have been uprooted in
the list six months, and the ground
thy occupied devoted to the cul-
tivation Of other crops. The cause
of this was the low price to which
olive oil has fsllen in France, be-
cause Of The subs titutio1 of other
vegetable oils for its use. Pure
olive OIL for ediple purposes, he
says is. at present practically un-
known in any important market IN
France, and if it were offered for
sals it is doubtful if it would be
accepted by the public ss other
than an inferior article, as the av-
ersge consumer at the present
time prefers the reu' raljze | taste
of a mixture of the olive and veg.
etahIe oils, AID would mistake the
'fluity favor of tie pure juice Of
the olive for an adulterated pro.
duct.
The use of the various other
food products of cotton seed is
increasing enormously. The pre-
judice against these articles is
disappearing fast before she de-
, monstration of their wholesome.
ness and the economy Of using
them. 1t was always a mystery t.
US why persons who turn W
their noses at cotton seed OF
> should consider hog lard ia
delicious. Cotton sesd oil il
} not only much purer than mos
of the lard on the market, but i!
more digestible and contains
: much larger per cent of nutritiv'
constituents. The use of the ar
ticles of food which are mad
from cotton seed Oil is growing
among all classes of our peopl'
and in many other nations.
. The cotton crop of the soutl
has already gained many million
in value by reason of its seed AM
the richest returns from thi
source have not come in yet b.

EGGS FOR LONG KEEPING.

The yolk of the egg spoils much
quicker than the white. For this
reason it is important that the yolk
should be surrounded with layer of
the white. If the egg is placed on the
side or large end the heavy yolk will
settle to- the bottom and come in con-
tact with the shell. which admits the
air. If it is placed on the small end it

IN THE FLOWERY KINGDOM.
Methods and Means by Which One
Travels.

Although the Chinese are at last
opening their eyes to the advantages
of railways and are beginning to lay
down lines for themselves, and though
fine European and native steamers ply
backwards and forwards on the large
rivers, there are still immense tracts Of
country where such cOnVeniences are
quite unknown, the usual means OF
conveyance consisting of carts. sedan
chairs, mule filters, native boats or even
the humble wheelbarrOW says a
traveller returned from China.
Now, Chinese cart is by no means
bed of roses; it is guiltless of
springs and is SO contriVed that one
has to sit tailor fashion on the floor of
it, for there are no seats, and if you I'M
fortunately omit to take mattress and
plenty of cushions with which to
wedge yourself in, you will get terribly
bumped and bruised as the cart jolts
in and out Of the immense ruts which
are a special feature of Chinese roads.
After a time you feel so cramped that
you are glad to get out and walk a
little, or even to sit on the shafts for a
change.
The vehicle, which is provided with
a cover, with or without a little win
dow at the side, is drawn by ponies or
very large mules, the latter being con-
sidered more valuable on account of
their superior size and strength
Sometimes mule filters are used, es-
pecially in the north of China, and
these are slung on poles and carried
by two mules, one in front and the
other behind. The swaying motion of
these conveyances is decidedly I'M
pleasant until one gets accustomed to
it, as the sensation is similar to that
of being at sea on a rough day. Less
disagreeable is the sedan chair, car
ried by coolies trained for the purpose.
They trot along smoothly and cheer
fully mile after mile, making a curious
sing song noise as they go, and seem
capable of standing an amount of ex-
posure and fatigue that would soon ex-
haust a European.

carriages, rather like arm chairs on
wheels. They hold two people and are
drawn by coolies, who tear along at a
tremendous pace. A very common
vehicle among the Chinese is a kind Of
wheelbarrow, furnished with a seat on
each side to accommodate one person
Sometimes, if there is a favorable
wind, sail is hoisted, and this con-
