Not long ago the prosecuting attOr-

had been soldier in the days that TO-
lowed 1861, was engaged in the prose-
cution Of an old tramp for some tri-
fling misdemeanor induced by drink,
and when the prisoner had finished his
statement in his own defense, the pub
lie prosecutor sought to break the
force Of it by what laymen might be
tempted to call an insulting cross ex-
animation.
"Were you ever confined in prison,
sir?" he Numbered. Slowly the hunt

cheeks, cried, Forgive me, forgive

quite overcome, but relieved the ten

THE PRESIDENTS ESCAPE,

EVERY precautlon was taken to protect
President Roosevelt from accident dur
ing his recent journey. But with all the
precaution and care, he had a narrow
escape from sudden death. and 1t seems
almost miraculous that he was not ia
stantly killed. 1t would have been re-
markable thing, to be sure. if within
year this country should have lost two
Presidents by violent death, and that.
TOO, in time OF peace.
It is said that death loves shining
mark but in this case the driver of
che carriage and the Presidents at
tendant were killed, while the first man
Of the nation came out of the wreck
with few trifling scars and bruises. 1t
is pathetic that the lives Of these men
should have been sacrificed to what ap-
pears to nave been the criminal reck-
lessness of the mortorMan, and the
death of the faithful attendant, and friend
of Mr. Roosevelt is particularly distress
ing But the whole nation is probably
gratted that the Presidents life was
spared.

THE dcbatcrs on the subject of at
tacklng on ignoring remarks made to q
woman especially by a man indicate the
superficial thInking OF the times. In tho
first place, my observations have been
that remarks are generally made TO
those women whose style of dress and
attitude invite reflections. Otherwise, ths
rowdy who resorts TO this is always
a coward and feels sure of being Pro4
tccted, either by numbers or concealed
weapons. and very often it IS Simply
rise of an armed hold-up outfit.
Anyone who compares the chlvalry Of
the unarr1ed man of the present day,
WHO. Pe-torce is made to believe he is
protected by police force and who IS
PROMPTED the carrying of weapons, to
the courage of man who was boUyed up
by no adequate protection and who had
unrestricted use of weapons, which he
always carried, and. therefore. had some
show OF an equal encounter, IS either. q
romantic girl or an unsound thinker.

committee on the advisability of drop
ping it. but Bryan was obstinate and
they Yielded.
rs Tor his election in 1900 even Bryan
himself minated to David B. HUI the
day before the convention at the Linz
coin conference that he doubted If the
Democrats could win on the silver issue.
but that as the pops and silver Re-
puhlicans had endorsed him. he could not
accept the nomination if free silver was
ignored.
Thus 1t was that with every sensible
politician against 1t Bryan was nomi-
mated, silver was kept in, and defeat was
invited. Senator James &. Jones would
never have been allowed to run the cam
paign of 1900 had 1t not been foregone
conclusion that the Democrats would be
defeated.
Another story in the same connection
has come to our ears. It is related that
when the delegation above referred to
called on Mr. Bryan at Lincoln, after list
ening to what he had to say. Mr.. Hill re-
marked: "Mr. Bryan, perceive that you
DO not wish to be nominated" It is fur
Their related that mr.. Bryan was startled
at the remark. and came near admitting
the soft impeachment. Whether that be
true or not there are those who believe
that MIR. Bryan was very willing, not to
say anxious, to drop free silver from the
platform. and put up another man.
lie naturally reasoned that in that pan
ticuiar campaign the Democratic nomi-
nee, no matter who he might be. and what
the platform might be, would be de-
featcd. In that event Mr.. Bryan would
have been saved second defeat which
he knew was inevitable, and he would
have been in the position of claiming
that the party dug its own grave by re-
cedDg from the principles announced in
the Chicago platform of 1896, ard turning
its back upon the leader of the free silver
movement. 1t would certainly have given
him and his friends the opportunity of
saying that it might have been different
had Bryan been nominated on another
Chicago platform. and would have put
Bryan in strong position for the race
in 1908.
We do not vouch for the truthfulness of
this story, but it is Interesting, not to
say plausible. But if true, it would ap-
pear that Croker played upon Bryan the
game Bryan was trying to play upon the
party.

THE NOVEL-AGAiN.

yrn,fowtnc- IN our remarks of yester-
| day on novel writing. we may add that
| there is. apart from all other attrac-
tons. a certain attractiveness in the
very art of novel writing, just as there
is a certain attractiveness in the art
of painting a picture. Here is a dog
and here is a picture of a dog. The :3ne
is a work OF nature, the other a work
of art The dog may be perfect of its
kind, yet the dog is worth hundred
dollars and the picture a thousand. The
picture is more to be admired and is
more admired by lovers of art than the
original.
The same art is seen in novel writing.
Any bright reporter may write a good
account of some incident; any good re-
porter may write up in attractive
style a romance in real life. He may
give a true picture of the characters
involved he may be eloquent in the
matter Of detail and circumstance. But
after all his story is but a mere reel
tation OF 1acts which have come under
his observation. 1t is quite another at
lair TO originate q romance and to
create the characters thereof. It is
much the difference between a, photo
graph and a picture of original con-
cepton and execution by an artist
1t Is true that some of these manu-
featured romances are nothing like SO
bright and clever and entertaining as
a reporters romance in real life. But
there are other works OF fiction which
far surpass any mere reporters story,
and there are characters in fiction more
attractive, in a certain sense at least,
and wrought. The characters which
Dickens and Ihackeray have created for
us are types. We have seen men and
women Ike them, to be sure, but these
men and women of fiction are none the
less creations. and they have given US
an insight INTO human character that
we should not have had without them.
They are types Of humanity, yet
they are original and unique. We are
indebted TO fiction for them. and we are
INDEBTED, indeed We all count among
our most entertaining and instructive
acquaintance Mr.. and Mrs. Nlicawber,
Mr.. and Mrs. Snassby, Miss Becky
Sharp and the innumerable list Of these
interesting personases who live only In

Nay, nay. Mr.. Verne. The novel has

ciety. Nor will the novels of the past
