Bryan criticises the convention for its

the weakness OF some Of the planzs it
did adopt. Mr.. Bryan insists that the
convention made a mistake in making
himself (Bryan) an issue. and says:
Mr.. Bryan is not candidate for
any Office. and a mention of hina

an endorsement OF him for Office The
vote should have been upon the naked
proposition to endorse the platform OF

excused his abandonment of Demo-

for Mr.. Bryan"

refused to endorse or reafdrm the Kan

Mrs. Wilson Put Her Papers IN May
or's Aquarium.

Mrs. Wilson Put Her Papers IN May
or's Aquarium.
People are laughing yet at what Mrs
Augusta Wilson did at the mayors Of
hce this m morning.
Mrs Augusta Wilson is an historic
landmark in Kansas She has been in
the public optic more or less for a long
term of years, appearing first at about
the time OF the temperance agitation
precedent to the adoption of the pro-
hibitory amendment.
At the present time Mrs. Augusta
Wilson is engaged in preparations for
her work as delegate to the Trans
Mississippi Con mercia1 congress, to be
held at Cripple Creek, Colo She was
named as a delegate by Governor Stan
ley, and decided that it would be
good scheme to have recomme ndation
from Mayor Hughes, also.
That was how she happened to go TO
the mayors office.
Now the mayor was presented with
q large square glass box a few days
ago, TO be used as an aquarium. The
box has been standing on his table,
half filed with water, q trap for the
unwary-
Enter Mrs. Wilson. The mayor takes
his feet from his desk removes his
cigarette stub from his lips. and says:
Good morning. mada1nl Come mi
What can I do for you, madam"
Mrs Wilson is near-sighted- She had
in her hand a large bundle of official
looking documents, letters from state
officials, recommendations OF various
kinds, and formidable looking note
books.
She advanced to the center Of the
room. She scrutinized the table for a
place to lay her valuable papers, saw
the neat gla q aquarium. but did not
see the water in it. She carefully
dropped the bundle OF papers into the
water.
''Madam." exclaimed Colonel Hughes,
bouncing out Of hiJ chair
rs this the mayor - said Mrs. VIII
son blandly- II want to talk to you a
moment. and viii leave my papers
there till I 7nish-''
The mayor gasped and sank back
into his chair. Mrs. Wilson stated her
business. got her credentials. and
started to leave. Then she discovered
her horrible mistake. But with the true
spirit of a temperance crusader, she
shook the water out of her bundle OF
papers and marched defiantly out of
the office. as If it was a regular thing
with her to put her recommendation
to soak this hot weather.
One thing which intensified the joke
was that not five minutes later the pro-
prfetor of one of the leading hotels OF
the city came to the mayors Office and
deposited his hat IN the aquarium He,
too, was near-sighted-
