I'VE did to Cuba? Democrats are divided
there as we'll as Republicans. Shall we
charge that England bought us to COM

we are making a colony OF her Shall
We dilate on the horrors Of the water
cure in the islands? Shall we denounce
the Republicans for selling horses TO
the British and allowing the trusts to
live?
Doubtless the last three would oc-

to be written by Mr. Bryan, but they
are Of the past or the present: what Of
the future? We cannot win unless we
get together and we cannot deserve sue

denunciation Of our enemies and prom

Bryan have us 10 do by way Of build

The illustrated prose articles in
Scribner's for July. represent the best
work Of such artists as VIII H. Low,
Walter Appleton Clark, A. B. Frost,
and others among the younger men.
Mr.. Low is represented in an unusual
way, in that he furnishes both text and
the pictures, and moreover the pictures
are reproduced in colors. His article,
In an Old French Garden" chronicles
a unique experience. Mr. Low and
his friend MacMOnnies, the sculptor
(who has recently taken up painting),
decided to take a house together in
rural France in order to spend nine
months in painting direct from nature
To their delight they found a house
with an old garden which furnished
within its bounds all the subjects for
their art. and this article reproduces
the emotional and aesthetic side of an
artists life while creating his works
directly from nature. The paintings
reproduced give many phases of life
in the old garden.

me with sweet, reproachful eyes. Oh!
what a fool / had been to accept that
rascal's invitation! The more l
thought of it, the angrier 1 became
with myself. Now, goodness only knew
how long I should be confined in this
wretched place, and what would hap

At last the dawn broke, and with it
weird, sicllly light penetrated the

it overlooked small courtyard, the
