Mr.. Bryan has been shouting his
speech of acceptance into phonograph
for the enlightenment of the masses.
The people can now have their choice
between Billy Riley's great whistling
song and clog dance, the Snow Ball
Sisters lates coon songs, and Mr.
Bryan's speech of acceptance. We hope
that Mr.. Bryan did not neglect to clap
his hands and shout Here, here, into
the phone, SO that his democratic
friends may fully appreciate the en-
thusiasm with which his speech was
received. Thus we see that by the use
of modern inventions, all the great
actors of the country are placed upon
the same level

WINTER EMPLOYMENT.

In our opinion the greatest industrial
problem for Denison to solve is that of
furnishing employment to laboring men
during the winter months. There is
little difficulty in summer, nearly every
man who is competent and trustworthy
can find work to do. How many of our
working men however, are dependent
upon what they earn during nine
months of the year or even less, to car
ry them through the remainder of the
twelve.
If employment could be found at
which these men could earn even dol
lar day at steady work through the
winter, it would be a great benefit
The man, who will solve this problem
for Denison, will be public benefactor
and in our opinion it is one of the most
important subjects that can engage the
attention of our Business Mems Associ-
alton.

KEEP DENIs0N BEFORE THE PUBLIC.

With splendid crop assured, and
every indication for good prices, we be-
lieve that the merchants and business
men of Crawford county can look for
ward with confidence to a great bust
ness this fall.
There are so many new towns in the
county, and competition is much
stronger than formerly, that our mer-
chants must neglect no opportunity by
which they may force their business.
1t is said that in the larger cities, by
the means of special sales, attractive
displays, and effective advertising, the
purchase Of goods is largely stimulated;
ia other words, that the people buy al
most twice as much in the cities as in
the country because of attractive bar
gains and luxuries which are brought
to their attention
The poorest salesman or business man
can sell piece Of goods if the customer
really needs it, and comes with the in
tention of buying. 1t is the good sales
man, however, and. the good business
man, who increases sales by calling the
customers attention to different ar
ticles, and creating new desires on the
part of the purchaser.
The dull days of summer should be
spent in planning an active campaign
for fall. The first class merchant will
find very little idle time on his hands.
Above all it is a paramount issue with
the people of Denison to keep their city
before the eyes of the people, to impress
them with its advantages as trading
point, and to convince them, not only
by words but by deeds, that they can
save money by coming to Denison. We
believe this has been done to large
extent, but we also believe that there
are many other ways in which the bus
mess Of our city could be increased.

States control of the Philippines, we
find the action of southern democracy
In sharp variance. In the matter of
free silver, we find that while Mr..
Bryan stated that he would not accept
the nomination unless the democratic
platform made specific statement in
favor of the heaven born ratio, he has
shown his insincerity by absolutely re-
fusing to recognize it as one uf the is.
sues of the campaign. In the anti trust
cry we find the leaders of democracy in
New York as stockholders in the NAL
ignant ice trust, and now comes BRYAN,
who has been advocating the rights OF
labor in his speeches so many years and
we find that the publication of those
books which have SO largely contributed
to make him rich man within the past
four years, have been printed in non
union shops, which employed cheap
labor rather than to pay the scale de-
manded by the union printer.
Thus while weeping over the wrongs
of the laboring man, Mr.. Bryan
has himself acquiesced in the oppres-
sion of the laboring classes. Theoretic-
ally, Mr. Bryan is in favor of union
labor and the payment of good wages
to the laboring man, but when it comes
to practice, when he had an opportunity
to show that he was sincere, he evident
ly had neither the desire nor the nerve
to carry his theories into effect.

SneeXing.

The Jewish rabbis of old say that
when Adam and Eve sinned it was en-
acted that mans death was to be sud-
den, ending unexpectedly in a sneeze,
induced probably by the sweat Of his
brow being checked by chill.
But Jacob, set back, presumably, in
the history of the world few ages,
saw this terrible state of affairs and
wrestled with the angel over the point
whether men should fall to pieces
when they sneezed. He gained the VIC
with him that the sneeZe should only
prove mortal when those who stood
by omitted to say the words "God bless
you"
1t so happened afterward that Jacob
sneezed one day when there was no.
body by to say the words. and the re-
suit was that he grew i'll and died @
lingering death, thing unknown in
the good old death by sneezing days.
Ever since then, fearing the sneeze,
as sign of not sudden death, but of APP
preaching disease, men never omitted
the salutation Of "God bless you" The
Brazilians have legend somewhat
similar.-Glasgow Mail.

less enjoyed the privilege of being once
more united with MI. II. A. Cook as
delegate to the Democratic State con-
vention. Knowing his view so well,
and having combated them so long, it
must have been indeed a pleasure for
them to work with him in the district
caucus and in the convention. Mr..
Cook is man of remarkable versatility
of principle, and will doubtless be as
successful in defending his new set as
he was in defending the various opin-
ions which he has held during the past
few years.

Mueer AFRICAN Customs.

Count de Cardi has been entertaining
the London Anthropological society
with an account of the manners and
customs of tie Niger delta, with which
lolS experience las made him famil-
lar.
Human sacrifices are offered to the
god of the river, and the tan colored
maidens of the Ibo tribe are preferred
as victims.
The girls know their impending fate
and are proud of it. If they take fan
cy to garments or ornaments worn by
other women, the latter dare not re-
fuse to give them up, and so the chosen
girls may be seen wrapped in many
layers of the costliest silks and weighed
down by mass of coral jewelry.
A similar contempt for death, with
out any religious basis, is exhibited by
other victims destined for sacrifice.
once De Cardi attempted to rescue one
of them, but the man was much in
censed and deliberately tainted the
other savages and their chief with such
dire insults that they fell upon him
and slew him.
Circumcision is common. 1t has no
religious significance, but in some
tribes is mark of slavery, in others Of
freedom
A woman feels herself greatly insult
ed IL another woman extends toward
her first and a second finger in V
form, closing the thumb over the other
fingers. 1t MEANS II hope you will be

tribes kill twins at birth. together with
their mother.

One on Andrew Lang.

Even the shrewdest persons may at
times be deceived. No matter how
much people may differ upon the
genius of Andrew Lang, they are
unanimous in regard to his quick in
telligence and his talent for playing
golf. Not long ago he was a guest at
a very distinguished dinner, which he
is said to have described as an extra
ordinary survival of savage mysteries.
The culinary part was faultless, but
Mr.. Lang's enjoyment was utterly
ruined by having, as he put it, "a
budding funny man on the hand
and a diabolically deaf socialist, on the
other. l could not" added the famous
critic, tell which Of the two was the
nor mournful companion" Two
weeks afterward 1t got out that the
socialist was not deaf; that he had
come to the banquet prepared to be
bored by less learned guests; that he
had been seated alongside IAN idiotic
middle-aged gentleman who did moth
ing but talk of golf," and that, to pro-
tect himself, he had simulated a deaf
ness which kept his neighbor bawling,

At one OF his famous little dinners a
prominent professional man of Wash
ington was greatly pleased with the
salad, as were also his guests. Evil
IDENTIFY it was partly meat and partly
vegetable, but the flavor was new, dis
tinct and understandable. This was so
faint that one guest declared: IT'S not
a taste at all; only a SMELL"
AT length some one suggested that
the chef be asked for the recipe, upon
which the host remarked {:
my man greatly dislikes being asked
for recipes. On this occasion, however,
his vanity may overcome him if we tell
him how greatly we have enjoyed the
dinner, and the salad in particular. AT
any rate, We'll see."
The Frenchman soon appeared, and
was visibly affected, not to a elated,
by the compliments.

Personality of Helen Gould.

Helen Miller Gould is just at the
threshold of her beautiful career. What
a promise is there in her life and work
for the coming century! She has
pledged her fortune for a Hall of
Fame on the campus of the New York
University, overlooking the Harlem
river. 1t will have tablets for the
names OF fifty distinguished Ameri-
cans, and proud will be the descend
ants of those whose names are inscrib-
ed thereon, says Success. The human
heart is the tablet upon which Miss
Gould has inscribed her name, and her
"Hall of Fame" is as broad and high
as the republic itself.

English-were caught by the ratves and
murdered. At last an Irish scientist, Mi
chaeI Crook, succeeded, and brought home.
two fine harps. Since then several more
of these butterflies have been taken; but
there is still danger in the attempt. A.
harp is now worth about 5000: but it
cost Crook nearly $500 to get his two
specimens.
Twice American scientists were sent
all the way to Syria to find and bring
back a tiny bit of an insect not much
larger than a gnat. These expeditions
were devoid of danger, 1t is true, but
they were sufficiently long and arduous,
considering the size of the prize, to be
noteworthy. However, IL the size of the
insect was not great, it's value was, for
it was the bug hat fertilizes fig trees.
Before it was brought here the fig plant
tiers on the Pacific coast had beautiful
fig trees, so far as foliage was con-
cerned, but they did not bear fruit, and
nobody could discover the reason until
the government scientists went to Syria
and found out that this insect and no
other fortified the trees by carrying the
pollen of the male blossoms to the fe-
male blossoms. Now we raise fig trees.
The quest for the fig insect did not
cost lives. The quest for another nat
ural boon did. This was the Peruvian
bark-the bark of the cinchona tree, from
which quinine is made. Many men were
killed by the P%eruvians and their Indian
allies because they attempted to steal out
of the country for the purpose of trans
planting them, and SO making the in
vaIuable ~febrifuge accessible to the whole
world. Many men fell in fights over at
tempts to smuggle bark out of the coun-
try, for Peru had an eye to the main
chance, and exacted ar enormous export
duty. AT last a few hundred trees were
struggled out of the country by an Eng
lishman, who, however, wandered around
in the wilds for more than six months,
starving, wounded and continually hunt
ed and harrassed by Indians and Peruvt-
ans before he could escape with his prize.

COSTLY F%LYSPECKS.
A MANS LIFE AND $4,000 WERE
AT STAKE. a
The Occasion Was One of the Old Poker
Games in the Fierce Gambling Days
of Frontierism - Examination of the
Cards Righted Matters.

/ once knew a couple of fly specks
to cost nearly $4,000, to say nothing
of a mans life, in a poker game said
a New Orleans turfman, talking about
big gambling in the old, days. ut was
in $50 or To- forget the exact date
and the game was played in a club
oom on Royal street. There were
four men at the table-a merchant, a
railroad superintendent, a st. Tam
many planter, and an ex-judge, all
pretty well to do, except possibly the
~railroader.
"The Judge had three Fights and
discarded an ace and a queen; the
planter had four fives and drew n
card as a blind, and | forget what the
others held. The cards they were
playing with were indicators with
marks on the corners, and as there
were several spectators in the room,
the Judge held his hand very close to-
gether, and looked only at the index
finger on the edge. He saw that he
had caught another eight in the draw,
making four. Then the betting be-
gan in earnest, and pretty soon the
railroad man and the merchant drop
ped out.
I'm throwing down his hand,' con-
tinued the story teller, "one of the
men who passed cut accidentally turn
ed over his cards, exposing a king
high straight. The Judge got a
glimpse of it, and, having discarded an
ace, he naturally concluded that his
four Fights were invincible, straight
fushes not being played at the time.
THAT at least was the way he told
us afterward he figured it; and he was
on the point of laying down; but there
was a possibility of a bluff, and final
ly he pulled out $500 in currency and
called. One of the onlookers was
standing right behind the Judge, and,
as / said before, he never looked at
anything but the indicators in the
corners, keeping his hand punched to-
gether. I have you beat he said,
tossing the cards, face down, on the
table, I have four eights.' They're
good said the planter; it serves me
right for being a fool;' and he began

this!' he exclaimed suddenly, as he
uncovered the last card. There were
three Fights, a trey and a four-spot.
"The Judge glared at the paste
boards with a face as black as thun-
der. This won't do!' he shouted, at
the same time slapping his hand over
the money. I'll take my oath / had
four eights!' Meaning to imply what?
said the planter, very quietly, but ris-
ing from his chair. What might have
happened nobody can say, but the
good horse sense of the railroad super
intendent rose to the emergency,
Gentlemen he said, we are not
swindlers or poker sharps. There has
been some mistake. Now let's keeI
cool and find out what it was.'

examination of the cards showed
clearly how the blunder arose. One o.
