Lanhdm, Of Texas, Talks
For DEMOCRACY.

fair progress with the postoffice
appropriation bill. During the
general debate upon the former
bill Mr.. Lanham of Texas deliv-
cred a notable speech upon the
future of the democratic party,
in which he made strong plea
for the necessity of united de-
mocracy, and counseled the burial
of the hatchet and the welcoming
back of those in the last two
presidential campaigns who de-
clined to support the nominees of
the party.
Lanham's remarks upon the
question of reorganization of the
democratic party were given a
very attentive hearing by his
political colleagues. Hereviewed
the lines within the party with a
view of ascertaining whether
there was not common ground
upon which the various elements
in the party could be reunited for
future purpose. He offered his
suggestions, he said, in a pacific
spirit to ascertain whether the
gulf between the elements was
impossible. The gold democrats,
he said, who bore none Of the
scars of battle, now with unbri-
died audacity did not propose to
return like the prodigal son, but
came demanding as condition
of their return that they should
head the procession. They Of
fered very freely their unsolicited
advice. The talk of the reorgat1-
ization of the democratic party,
he said, was puerile and unkind.
The talk of changing the name
of the party was distasteful to the
rank and file. The democratic
party had suffered defeat many
times, but it would survive as
long as free institutions did.
The talk of shelving Bryan, he
said, was premature. He had
fallen with his back to the field
and his feet to the foe. He was
splendid American citizen and
a democrat. 1t was improbable
that he would ever again aspire
to the nomination, but it was too
early to discuss candidates of the
future. He pointed to the strength
of the republican party which, he
said, was founded upon subversion
of the individual to the main
purpose of the organization. Re-
publicans differed in preliminary
skirmishes, but they always uni
ted when the real shock of battle
came. He referred to the action
of Hoar as striking example and
as proof of this fact.
He contrasted the course of the
Massachusetts senator with tha'
of Clevcland-twice elected pres
ident by the democratic party
who, i'll two campaigns subsequen
to his own election turned hi
back upon his old party associ
atcs. Lanham said that if Cleve
land and other party democrats
whose abilities none could deny
really believed that defeat to thei
party WAS necessary to bring i
back to its old mooringS, thos
who had stood fast by the party

The EarthHuake.

To the average resident of the tenn
perate zones an earthquake is rare
and terrible event, creating more con-
sternation than any other visitation of
nature. In the tropics, however, par
ticularly in Central America, it is Won
derful how easily the residents be-
come accustomed to these shocks,
which do not come. however. wholly
without warning.
You are sitting on a piazza on a hot
afternoon chatting with your friends
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy and the crows stop cawing. There
is a general rush, and. though you may
not know what is the matter, you can
not help feeling uneasy.
The old natives say, ''We're going to
have little shake" and then the
house begins to rock, the tumblers fall
off the table, you feel deathly sick at
the stomach, and the thing is all over
The sky clears, the crows begin their
noisy screams, and things are soon put

doctor was gone again. Presently be

Remarkable Memories.

Memory" said old Fuller, the au-
thor of the Worthless" who himself
possessed a wonderful power CT Femi-
niscence, "is the storehOuse of the
mind, wherein the treasures thereof
are kept and preserved" 1t is unques-
tionably true that as a rule great writ
ers have had memories of more than
ordinary tenacity and range. The fac
ulty of reminiscence feeds the fires of
the Imagination and keeps lucid and
orderly the sequence of philOsophic
thought. How much Milton, for exam
pie, profted by his prehensile and
trustworthy memory is evident. Not
only such poems as "Lycidas," but
Paradise LOST and Paradise Re-
gained" are studded with translatiOns
or paraphrases of exquisite extracts
from the classic poets.

anything he had seen. heard oil

the entire Koran when he was 10 years

Phe Chances In Policy.

The retired poke" shopkeeper was
explaining to his interested hearers
some of the mysteries of his former
business.
"The chances of winning at the pol
icy game" he said, "are about like this:
You take n bushel basket and fill it
with small white beans. Then you
put one small black bean into the bas-
ket and shake the lot up. After that
go to some 'skyscraper' building, say
one about 20 stories high. and place a
penny on the sidewalk in front of it.
This done, shoulder your bushel of
beans and take the elevator to the roof
of the building. Then lean over the
edge of the roof and, aiming at the
cent on the sidewalk below, dump out
the beans in the basket all together.
Then hurry down on the elevator and
rush ont to the sidewalk. If you find
that the black bean las fallen. upon the
penny, you win."-New York Times.

The SfIIiest Birds.

Dodo is the Portuguese name for
simpleton, and it is given to the silliest
bird that ever lived. Three hundred
years ago. when the Portuguese first
visited the island of Mauritius, they
found a large number of these birds.
They were about the size Of large
swan, blackish gray in color and hav-
ing only a bunch of feathers in place
of a tail and little. useless wings.
More stupid and foolish birds could
not be imagined. They ran about max
ing a silly. kissing noise like n goose,
end the sailors easily knocked them
over with their paddles. They couldn't
fly, they couldn't swim, they couldn't
run at any great speed. and, as fol
fighting, they were the greatest COW
ards in the world. They were much
too stupid to build a nest, and so they
dropped an egg and went off to let il
hatch as best it could.

A southern Conundrum.

In the olden time before the war, the
days so famous for generous hospital

assembled at dinner in a beautiful
country homestead. Across the table
wit flashed back and forth. and the
guests began to vie with one another
in proposing conundrums.
Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens offered
one which puzzled the whole company,
"What is it that we eat at breakfast
and drink at dinnerT
For some time no answer came, and
the bright eyes of the southern orator
began to sparkle with triumph, when
Colonel Johnson, taking up the Com

lay conveniently by, wrote impromptu
upon the fiyleaf the following answer:

Johnny Laughs at Hanlon's Threats
and Says His Bunch Will Stick.

Baltimore, Nd, March 3O.-John Nc
Graw arrived home today from Hot
Springs with the signed contracts of
Williams, Donlin, Sheckard and others
in his pocket He snapped his fingers
and laughed at the threats of Hanlon
and other National Leaguers of taking
away any of his players through pro-
cedure
Every man I have signed" said
Mac" twill play on the Baltimore
team. and they will report here next
week"
On April the opening exhibition game
will be played with Yale. The case of
DOnlin's signing with McGraw is Pc
culiar- He signed an old contract with
St Louis several months ago and re-
ceived advance money. When a contract,
approved by the Players association;
was sent for his signature he declined.
President Robson then wrote him:
If you do not intend to play in st.
Louis return money advanced
This Donlin did, and he considered
himself free to accept McGraw's offer.
He says he has always wanted to play
in Baltimore. He and Williams came
with McGraw. Catcher Smith had a
talk with McGraw today and will sign.
Sheckard is safe. and McGinnity, Nc
G~aW says, is loyal to the core. The
pair accompanied by Tokahoma the
Indian. left Hot Springs a week ago
'.Tokahoma," McGraW says, lis a little

to New Orleans. The trio will report
