SPLIT IN THE RANKs.-The refusal
of the democratic State convention, held
in New Haven, Conn, recently, to in
dorse the Kansas City platform and
William Jennings Bryan, has brought
split in the democratic ranks, and it is
now the purpose of the dissatisfied
politicians to place an independent
ticket in the field. They are to confer
with the State Economic League, for
the purpose of agreeing upon candidates,
the latter organization also having been
refused by the convention the recog-
milton it claimed A platform was
adopted and plank therein de-
mands that the government buy up as
soon as possible the coal beds, together
with railroad and telegraph facilities.
President Roosevelt is called upon to
summon an extra session of Congress for
the purpose of taking action on the coal
strike, and also to instruct Attorney Gem
eral Knox to bring criminal proceedings
against the coal companies under the
antitrust law. 1t is the purpose of the
silverites to defeat the regular demo-
cratic ticket at the cost of republican
victory.

Best Use of Talents.

Personality has done wonders with
both heredity and environment, as the
Independent says. 1t has made mod
crate gifts, accomplished marvellous
things. Men by patient and persistent
application, have put to shame the
splendidly equipped who have indo-
lently frittered away their patrimony.
Out Of the most untoward surround
ings men have found their way to
the grandest achievements. The boy
from the log cabin has outstripped the
boy from the palace. The barefooted
boy has outstripped the boy of pam
pered indulgence. The plodder has
outstripped the genius. The tortoise
has passed the hare. Whether man
be richly endowed or moderately en-
dowed, his success will depend on the
use he makes of what God has Given
him.

How still the prairieS lie at early dawn!
These rolling landscapes of unbroken

Ere yet the shadows of the night are

Seem now to hold dim ages as in pawn;
To witness his prophetic ruling rod;
That earth's wide turmoil here at last
shall cease
And mans rebellious heart be awed to
peace.

not wake
The million blades Of grass that ra-
diant wear
Unmounted jewels Of the dew, nor shake
The clustering blooms within the or

Nor vex the vast sweet silence Of the
That he who seeks the sinless morning s
May feel the soothing of the prairie's
balm.
How soft the light falls on the gracious
scene!

array,
Rises distinct; the anchored clouds are
seen
To glide. stately feet, upon their
way;
While fiuting low within their coverts

The songbirds seem to dream of COM

And all the sweep Of clearing sky and
land
To love and faith mans spirit doth
command.

SEA POWER OF THE NATIONS

Great Changes Made, Cut England
Still Leads.
In a review of the sea power of the
great nations the Naval Annual shows
that in the ten years from 1892 to 1902
these changes have occurred:
l. Russia, Germany and the United
States have all become the owners OF
as many battleships as France, which
ten years ago was in that respect sec.
ond only to Great Britain.
2. Japans navy has been created
and, for Asiatic purposes, is united
with Great Britain's.

together number forty-seven armor.

action, against seventeen for France
and Russia combined.
Assuming that the United States

to destroy British sea power.

favorite as long as he remained un-
conquered.
The blaring of trumpets announced
that the spectacle would soon begin,
the picadors and banderilleros in their
resplendent costumes on those proud
horses which, before long, would lie
dead on the sand of the arena, and
the matador, more handsome, more
calm than ever, made thc.- appearance
and paraded around the arena. The
show had begun.
Jose looked eagerly toward the gov
errors seat. He was there, but alone.
Fontella was not with him. A feel
ing of disappointment came to him.
This was followed by doubt which
paled his cheek. Had she duped him,
had she played a comedy for the sake
of having him, the unconQuered, at
her feet? But this thought, instead of
weakening his courage, caused him to
straighten his tall form; he would
show her that he was a man who
could be victorious in spite Of all.
Those who watched his face at that
moment murmured:
"Narvezzo will conquer; such look
of resolution never courts failure"
When the bull entered it was easy to
see that the stories told of his vicious
temper had not been overestimated.
He was a beautiful animal, jet black
in color, with long, sharp horns and
eyes that burned like Goals, his heav-
ing tanks, switching tail and the
manner in which he scattered the sand
with his paw showed that he was used
to this display and that he was only
too ready to do his part.
1t did not last long; in few In
stants four horses lay bleeding on the
sand. torn open by those terrible
horns. One picador was dead; blood
was everywhere. Still the fans in
women's hands went backward and
forward in lazy Incidence. while eyes
which seemed to have been made only
for tenderness gazed with evident sat
isfaction upon the cory scene.
At last the matador entered. Jose
Naryezzo never appeared so calm, SO
proudly Indifferent as to-day. In his
right hand he held the sword, with
which he was to STAY the now mad
dened bull For an instant they stood
face to face, the man and the beast.
Then, with a below Of rage, the ami
NAL charged his new enemy. Jose
did not move, his sword was ready;
Just as the bull came up to him he
raised the weapon, but it fell on one

rose on every side.
But no, he had not lost! In one
leap he had jumped to one side, the
bull charged on, burying his horns in
the sand little distance away. This
gave Jose time to take sword which
one of the men handed him, and

The animal gave one howl of rage and

cheered the conqueror; women cried
as they cast their rings or jewels into
the ring; men threw money. The
matador was reaping his golden har.
vest. Suddenly deep hush followed
the clamor. All eyes turned in one
direction toward the door which ad.
mitted the performers into the ring.
Jose, surprised by the silence, turned
also, and could scarcely retain an ex.
clamation as he saw Fontella comina
toward him, picking her way amid the
dead horses.
When she got up to him she paused
and in tones which rang clear and loud
in the silence said:
"Jose Narvezzo, you have conquered
to-day the fercest bull in Spain
Others have cast their tributes of gold
at your feet; bring you mine. Here
is my hand; take it if you want it.
I am yours for life"
The scandal was great The gov
ernor was furious, but Fontella had
won. After that scene at the bull fight
it was impossible for him to refuse his
consent, SO some two months later
Narvezzo, having left the ring, became
Fontella's husband, once more prov.
ing the saying that when there is a
will there is a way.
