THE COMMONER,
Mr.. Brynn,s Pnper.


The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation Of 100, coo copies, "a record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner' regular subscription
price is Sl.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
Sl.5O. The regular subscription price of
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is $500.

WHICH PAIN THE wORSTp
An Old Surgeon Says Mental Suffer
ing is the Easier 60 Bear.

'One frequently hears it said remarked
a veterinary surgeon, chatting IN his Office
recently, that mental suffering is a great
deal harder to bear than physical suffering,
but the people who make the assertion are
usually people who know very little about
bodily pain. They have vague idea that
a capacity for mental anguish indicates a
fine high-strung spirit, while there is some-
thing gross about a sensitiveness to physical
discomfort Such a theory is pure rubbish
and the facts in general way are quite to
the contrary
1T is your thoroughbred, your refined
highly intellectual person who is most sus-
ceptible to brute pain, and your rough, H.
literate, dull-witted fellow who is driven
to distraction by tormented mind. l sup.
pose the explanation is that the stupid, nm
educated man is unable to bring any phi
losophy to bear on his troubles. while on
the other hand the nerves of the cultured
chap have been sharpened by civilization.
But as far as my observation goes, pain,
physical pain, is the great leveler. Be the
form what it may-wounded lesh.-a given
amount Of it will hunger, thirst, exhaustion
or the agony Of, reduce all men to about the
same status.
II got my first lesson in that line when /
was a soldier in the Civil War, and | have
been getting them ever since at the operat-
ing table and the bedside. I beg to doubt
whether there is a single human being who
can retain his or her nobility of character
under continued bodily distress. Oh, yes,
I know what you are going to say--that
there are invalids and crpples whose tenn
per has only been sweetened by years of tor
ture. Such cases prove nothing, nothing at
all They think they are suffering con-
tinually, but they are not. There are long
intervals of relief and quietude.
Take my word for it, that pain destroys
moral fibre as surely as FIRE destroys wood,
and that, by the way is what made the rack
such great success as an instrument of
Judicial inquiry in the good old days An
industrious judge with a we'll made rack
never had any reason to lack Of corrobora-
tory evidence"
Sunday Washington globe., 1902-02-23

most profound interest in the subject up
for discussion
Then we have the men who desire my
opinion on the merits Of their guns; I am
truly ashamed Of myself at times; sighting
the gun; looking down into its barrels;
locking the triggers; feeling the weight of
it; and all this done with deliberation and
a show Of interest that even an old FROM
tiersmau could not surpass. Still it seems
to be part of our business to evince an in
terest in every topic under the sun.
But say, if anything bores me worse
than another, Il is poetry, and yet crowd
of fellows will get in here sometimes, aud
perhaps one or two will recite couple Of
verses of poetry and forget who wrote the
same; then will start an argument as 10 the
author of such and such verse, and never
yet in an argument of this kind knew any
two men to hit upon the same poet; yet
each and every man appears 70 be dead GER
tam about the man who wrote the piece.
Say, have seen fellows who were never
known to read a book, and barely able to
do so If they desired; butt in to an argu-
ment of this kind with the name Of some
man no one else ever heard Of, and stoutly
contend that he was the dufler' who
wrote the verse
However, when the argument has
reached its height, I, who know nothing of
poetry, and think great deal less, am APP
pealed to, to set the whole crowd right
Does diplomacy enter just thenl Well, /
guess yes.
My views upon classic music are also
much sought at times. This is another
subject that I am supposed to be enraptured
over; when as a matter of fact my appre-
citation OF aud understanding Of classic
music, is to say the least, most modest A
good musical comedy or vaudeville per-
Torrance is about my limit Still, must
give my decision upon the merits of Chopin,
Wagner, Verdi, and lot of other fellows,
whom l never so much as heard of, until
they are brought up for discussion.
Another musical faculty that l am
popularity supposed to possess, is the dis
tinguishing Of airs, whistled by my patrons.
Every little while some one will amble up
to the bar and ask me to listen for few
moments to him, while he whistles a tune,
which has been running through his head
all day, and he wants me to satisfy him as
to whether the air is from Faust The
Flying Dutchman, or Tolonthe, he being
positive it is from one of the three From
the manner in which he executes the
melody it is doubtful whether any com
poser in the world could tell him whence
came the air, and in this manner the bar
tender passes the time while on duty"
And IN such manner did the bartenders
employed at the Union Hotel in George
town, pass their time during the period
when the air was rife with the discussions
regarding the many mysterious burglaries
then being committed in the old town.

Curious Freaks orInsane Persons.

A Belgian physician, speaking of simula-
ton by the insane, says that in cases of in
sanity where the intellectual faculties are
not too much disordered the insane may
simulate another form of insanity than
their own. The forms Of insanity most
often simulated are, in order Of frequency,
imbeclity, dementia and mania. The other
forms are not so frequently simulated A
lunatic generally Stimulates insanity to
escape punishment and an expert ply
scan should not therefore in such cases be
satisfied with diagnosis of stimulation.
Such diagnosis does not exclude real in-
sanity, and the physician should therefore
eudeavor 70 ascertain whether or not the
simulator is himself a lunatic With care,
patience and a long continued observation
it is possible to make complete and cor
rect diagnosis and this is the more inn
portant as in these cases the serious ques-
tiou Of responsibility arises

A Boy onght to KNOW.

l. That a quiet voice, courtesy aud kind
acts are essential to the part IN the world of
a gentleman as a geutlewoman.
2 That roughness, clustering, and even
foolhardiness are not manliness. The most
firm and courageous men have usually
been the most gentle.
g. That muscular strength is not health.
T. That the brain crammed with facts is
not necessarily wise one.
S. That the labor impossible to a boy of
fourteen will be easy to the man Of twenty.
8. That the best capital for boy is not
money, but the love OF work, simple tastes
and a heart loyal to his friends and his Cod.

CHAPTER XVII

Tie favorite haunts of the man-about-
town, the shifty-eyed sueering, but i'm
niaculate garbed Saunders know him once
more. Save for an uneasy look constantly
appearing upon his handsome, though
evil oountenance, he seems much the same
as he did before he took his little trip out
of town.
His boon companions are young men
much after the same pattern as Saunders
himself Fellows of good birth aud Of we'll
to-do families, certainly not dependent up
on their own exertions for the means of ex.
istence else they would not have 50 much
time to dawdle away over the billiard table
or before the hotel bar, and these two
amusements consume many hours for
Saunders and his associates. Still they pass
for the worlds meaning of the term, gentLe-
men, and are received into the homes Of the
best people Of the town, Notwithstanding
the fact that many Of the male heads of the
different families look with anything but
favor upon their presence in their respec-
tive homes.
Among this class Of young men there is
great deal too much talk about horses,
billiards, cards, and other pastimes of a
similar nature to exactly suit the tastes of
men who have children about Of the i'm
pressionabe age. and In these houses while
Saunders aud his cohorts are received, they
are celtainly not welcomed, at least not by
the men folks.
Az the time Of which this story treats,
the Union Hotel, situated at the corner Of
Washington and Bridge streets, was the
great rendezvous for the gay young men Of
the town, and here nightly congregated the
