and three children.
You might say I'm here to boom Mark

typical representative of his party, but
I have some doubt of my ability to control
the Republican convention when the time
comes to make the nomination"

Grand Trunk for Port Huron. Mr.. Bryan

ries of speeches that will cover a wide
territory. He will speak at Philadelphia,
Norfolk Va, Bristol, Va, and other
Southern cities.
On this trip of speechmakinS Mr.. Bryan
will be mostly under the direction of the
Chautauqua societies and his topics will
be "A Conquering Nation" and ION Civ

to your editorial in Wednesday mornings Times
Statesmen and Bosses,' 50 far as it concerns
senator Platt. We all know that he is not a

a hard committee worker, and his advice Is
sought after by all of his party associates in the
Senate as well as by President Mckinley. No
man can hold the Republican party of the State
of New York in the ''hollow OF his hands un-
less he has brains, good fellowship, aud is true
to his friends. Senator Platt has all OF these
qualities, and then again his success In business
makes your editorial frivolous No scandal OF
any shape or form has ever been attached to
his name; he was always the loving husband and
a good father ! think your editorial undigni-

is to be accepted these bills were passed

that there are many applications of a

After reading this description OF a
transcendent and Kaleidoscope combi-
nation of the beauty. wealth, and grace
of Kansas City, the only regret Of the
average American will be that he was
not there TO see. 1t was too bad 10
waste all that rainbow on anything less
than a national audience. The Pan
American Exposition is nothing to it
The only wonder is that any mere
structure of brick and mortar could
hide its effulgence. When a journalist
has to lay the whole continent from
Greenland to Mexico under tribute for
metaphors and SMILES to describe
social function, it is safe to assume that
the function itself must have been
something fine.
The curious thing about all this TO
European reader would be that while
the prairie journalist spares no flowers
of rhetoric when the works of man are
in question, you never find him using
up his powers of speech to describe the
works of the Creator Did a Kansas
journalist ever sit up nights and hunt
the dictionary through, and coin words,
to impress the public with the beauty
of a prairie in blossom in springtime, or
did a Colorado newspaper man ever
write poetic ana soulful essays on the
glory of a range of mountains or the
solemn grandeur of a canyon? Not
unless there was a real estate boom in
question. In other lands they may
name their ice-clad peaks ''Jungfrau,
and lovingly compare the beauties of
nature to the beauties of blushing maid
or matron; in the Middle West they
consider that nature is all very well as
a frame for humanity.
After all, this is but natural The
West has but newly conquered its civ
ilization from the grudging hands of
nature, and it is not to be supposed
that the children of The men who lev
eled mountains and fellad forests and
bridged chasms, at immense cost to
themselves, should love the ancient foes
of their fathers. The effete Fastener
may see great beauty in an arid waste
of desert; but the ranch owner who has
to face the problems of irrigation sees
more charm in a ditch filed with water.
The consequence of it all is that in
stead of wasting breath on the peculiar
beauties of the Missouri landscape, the
journalist of that State exhausts his
vocabulary in picturing, by comparison
with every geological, botanical, &c
illogical, and meteorological phenome-
non known to man, the glories of a
Kansas City society cakewalk.

MUSIC.

When your heart and brain are weary and you're
tired and sort Of blue,
IL there anything like music's spell to make you
feel like newt
Don't II set you to rejoicing and drive all your
cares away
When they open the piano and some one begins
to playH
And when the players lively, and the music's
livelier still,
And the notes are bubbling over like a little,
laughing rill,
You Just catch the sweet infection, and you re
feeling very soon
As though nothing had gone sideways and tine
whole world was in tune.
And your friends are all around you, for they
never went away
A. you thought they did when everything went
wrong the other day,
And the world is full OF happiness, and all II
bright and fair,
And life is what you want 1t, when there's music
in the air.
And when the musc's low and sweet, and tender
the refrain,
1t makes you feel as though there was a balm
for every pain,
And twas worth atrying TO be good and make
another start,
And you feel as though a little bird was singing
in your heart.
And the sun is shining brightly, all the clouds
have rollSd away,
And there's not single shadow in the path You
walk today,
For the music's way down in your soul, per-
Tuning all your life,
And you have no time for bitterness, anxiety and
strife.
Oh, this world is filled with music, and we're
members, every one.
Of the orchestra which plays each day from rise
to set Of sun,
For we're playing for eternity, and as the ages
roll
Wen find the sweetest music is the music of the
soul.

agreement between the clashing houses
OF Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and Morgan &
co, to deal gently with the short inter-
est, but it is now attracting much atten-
ton in the street as a wholly novel
action, raising a question of law never
before appealed to in such a case. The
point made by the lawyers for the short
interest is that when the brokers for the
rival houses mentioned entered into a
contract for the sale and delivery of
stock which the seller did not at the
time possess, they knew that the stock
was cornered and that it would be i'm
possible for the seller to fulfil his part
of the contract. And to sustain them the
lawyers point to the judgment of the
United States supreme court in the case
of United States against Peck Q02 u. S.
Ga, in which it is said The conduct of
one party to a contract which prevents
the other from performing his part is an
excuse for performance on the part
of the party of the second part" Law
like that it is held, would render future
corners impossible

ANOTHER zERAH coLBURN.
A Young Indianian Who Can Multiply
in ga Ways Like a Streak.

A letter from Warsaw, Ind, in the In
dianapolis News describes a mathemat-
ical prodigy such as has not been known
since Zerah Colburn, the Vermont boy,
astonished the world 60 years ago. Ar
thur F. Griffith was born on a farm near
Milford, Ind, July ID, 1880, and from the
time he was able to talk he has mani
tested an interest and capacity in figures
and in not much else. The correspondent
says that the Milford teachers could not
teach him anything in arithmetic, and he
couldn't learn anything else, so that at
II his schooling ceased. Ernest II. Lind
ley, associate professor of psychology at
Indiana university, sent for him in No
Vember, 1899 Griffith remained at the
university for three months studying al
zebra and giving exhibitions before the
classes. At the end of three months, in
charge of Prof. Lindley, he was taken to
Eale university, where he dumbfounded
all by his rapid calculating and the able
manner in which he could explain how
he could work all problems propounded
to him. Griffith is about five feet eight
inches in height, and weighs 1870 pounds.
His hair is very dark, and his eyes jet
black and exceedingly bright. He talks
very fast and with a slight break in his
speech, which makes it somewhat diff
fcult to understand him. Griffith now
haS eight ulHefent methOdS OF MS own
TOR addition 10 for division and g. for
multiplication. He can take any number
between $40 and 1000 and raise it to the
fifth power in 80 seconds without the use
OF either pencil or paper, while in work
ing with pencil and paper 800 operations
are necessary. Griffith can mentally add
three columns at a time, divide any set
of figures, multiply any set of figures
in from l to 40 seconds and extract
square and cube roots in from 3 to Is
seconds. He remembers every problem
that he works. The hardest test which
he has yet been given, so he claims, is to
stand and see a freight train pass with
20 or 80 cars and then tell the number of
each car in order and to what road each
belongs
