This is a great country for stump
speaking and many of our public
men have made remarkable re-
cords as persistent campaigners.
None Of them, however, have ever
in the same length of time done so
much work on the stump, Travelled
so far or addressed SO many people
as have both Bryan and Roosevelt
in the campaign just closed.
Mr.. Bryan has made $40 speech
es, travelled 1885 miles, spoken
in 493 cities and towns, visited Is
states and addressed 100000
people.
Remarkable as is this record, it
has been beaten by Governor
Roosevelt. HIS has made no less
than 673 speeches. travelled d.
200 miles, spoken in 56S cities and
towns, visited "a states and ad-
dressed over 100000 people.
Very few men could endure the
mental and physical strain requir-
ed for the efforts of Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Roosevelt in this campaign.
We shall probably never see an
other candidate for office in this
country or anywhere else equal
the performance of either Mr.. Bry-
an or Governor Roose velt.-At-

BASE INGRATITUDE
To the Brownie 'Kukluxers'-LOuis-
viIlRe epublican Organ At
tacks Its Late Allies.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 3.-The Re-
publican leaders are up in arms
over an editorial which appeared
in their Official organ, the Louisville
Commercial, this morning under the
heading, "Kentucky Scandalized
by its Kuklux Democracy" The
article attacks the Brown boilers
as we'll as the regular Democrats.
Judge w. H. Sneed, a local Repub-
lican, is circulating petition, got
ten up, he says, by ex-Gov. Brad
ley, repudiating the attack on the
boilers. "The Commercial" said
Judge Sneed, ."does not represent
the Republican party in Kentucky,
and is less in sympathy with it
now than ever before"

of the failure of the anti..Goebel

Senator Mcconnell, Populist, who
did not participate with the Demo

YESTERDAY THE DAY
For Drawing Contest Commit.
tees In The Legislature.
GOebel And Beckham Filed Notice
Tuesday on Taylor And
rIarsl1alI.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 4.-The
Sheriff of Franklin county Tuesday
afternoon served notices of contest
by Goebel and Beckham upon Tay-
lor and Marshall. AT the session
Wednesday similar notices we're FL
ed in the Senate and House, and to-
day the Contest Committees will be
drawn. This Committee will be en-
powered under the law to bring be-
tore it persons and papers, and it
will take several weeks to secure
the evidence and make report.
Senator Goebel's notice differs
from those served by the minor
State candidates, and some of the
grounds of contest are much more
sensational. 1t is charged that the
Republican, party and certain trusts
and corporations entered into con-
spiracy to use large sums of money
tor the purpose OF controlling the
result of the election. The contes-
tants believe they can prove this.
John Whallen, of Louisville, is men
toned as one of the conspirators.
The notice also contains the charge
that tissue ballots were used in
many counties, and that the rail-
roads brought into this State thous-
ands of voters. One of the chief
grounds of contest is the use of the
militia in Louisville, while the intim-
midation of railroad employees is
given as another ground. The Demo
Gratis claim that they will be able
to prove this charge, as well as the
others

About two years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained a touching letter
from a man in Maryland whose home
had just been frightened by the ar
rival of a bouncing boy. The fond

would be named Philetus Sawyer
Jones and expressed the hope that the
child would grow up an honor TO the
name and the possessor Of the fine
traits Of character that distinguished
tie generous hearted man whose name
would be borne by himself.
Senator Sawyer went TO the senate
chamber with a warm glow in his
heart and the determination TO send
that fond parent nice big check. He
felt so good that he showed the letter

chuckled as he read il and produced a
letter almost Identical, except that the
young pSodigy was TO be named Vii

lures are given before splendid audi
ences and. as rule. by persons Of
veracity and intelligence. Occasion

on a rare subject great risks are run
Recently a lecture was given by a
person who had been on an excursion
10 the North cape. Among other won
derful things be saw there was the
eclipse of the sun. He gasped for
breath as he told Of the weirdly grand
sight. He told Of the streamers OF fire
that blazed from the obscured orb to
all quarters Of the heavens. But bis
frenzy carried him too far for public
school audience, for he declared that
among the stars made visible In the
midst OF day he saw the planets cir
cling In their courses He even called
the planets that he saw by name. but
be made a fatal mistake. He said be

This statement called for a round Of

Venice without water would hardly
be Venice at all. but we are assured
there is a possibility that the plctur-
esque Venice OF today may become a
city OF the past. and eventually Venice
may be waterless.
According TO Professor Marinelli. the
regular Increase in the delta OF the
river 20 is such that In process Of
time the northern Adriatic viii be dry.
and Venice will no more be upon the
sea. The annual surveys show that
the mean annual increase of the delta
during 40 years has been three-tenths
Of a square mile.
An encrOachment upon the sea OF
three-tenths Of a mile in a year means
a large increase IL n century. II ap-
pears that the total Increase sn six
centuries has been about 19S square
miles. The increase is continuing. and
the gulf Of Venice is doomed TO dis
appear.
No immediate alarm need be felt. and
it will not be necessary 10 hurry of
to Venice 20 take a farewell look al
the city in its present picturesqueness.

much Is straight-let there be SUM-

Pacific In southwestern Arizona, and
behold the next morning every little
pool has a myriad OF little lean green
frogs with marvellous croaking powers.
They don't wait for nigbtfall like their
more civilized brothers elsewhere, but
keep up the music by day as by night.
They live where water comes only
about once a year. They can't live
over the interim under the sun baked

they are all Of a size to boot If they
didn't come from the ground or from
