silly discussion Of the Presidents reek-
lessness. He is not reckless, and no man
accustomed to riding would think of sug-
gesting such a thing regarding his rid

as were the people Of New England or

and in the states without whose cleo
toral votes democratic victory in 1904
will be impossible, has regained its old
time sanity, and may be said with the
utmost confidence to be marching to as
sured success in November next, in ev-
cry close congressional district all over
the country. This radical change of base
is regarded with dismay by the republic
can party, whose lease Of power has
for years and years depended on acct
dental causes over which 1t in nowise
exerted the least control combined with
stupendous laundering and dissension on
the part of It's opponents.
Not alone In its advance of unsound,
and therefore, unsafe theories of gov
ernmental administration, but in the
character of its leadership, is the demo-
cratic party undergoing change which
may be called q revolution. William j.
Bryan is still, and will probably cora
tinue to be for some time a potent fac
tor in democratic councils and conven-
lions, but the day of his dictatorship is
gone forever Never again, by any pos
sibility. can he exercise the autocratic
power of writing the national platform
of the party and overruling the over
whelming majority of the representa-
tives of the democracy in national con
vention assembled He must, In all the
future, bow to the will of the people as
expressed through their representatives,.

ton is to call attention to the tendency
of young writer's to make a novel out
of just enough material for a short
story. Of course there is need for many
writers to save their energies, to keep
as many plots ahead as possible, but
the result in most cases is very bad.
In the present instance one feels that
the author has libeled the girls of Vir-
ginia by calling her heroine one of
them.
Webster Davis, formerly of South
Africa in the consular service and later
q full-f1edged Boer lecturer in this
country is said to claim that the royal
ties on his Boer war book have netted
him S1S0,000 If his royalty was
10 per cent. this would mean 1000, 600
copies Perhaps however, Mr. Davis
received 20 per cent. on his work, in
which case 100000 copies of his first
work were purchased.
Evidently, remarks a sympathetic
one, there was some conspiracy against
Mr.. Davis, for at no time has his book
been hailed as a first seller by the
dealers. Perhaps Mr.. Davis was mere
ly misquoted. What he probably meant
was that he had received $3.50 in roy
alties.

a life of William Black, the novelist,
the British Medical Journal gives some
interesting comment on the writer's
habit of consulting medical specialists
regarding the diseases of his charac-
tiers.
He had a horror of carelessness and
scamped work; he never sub
jected one of his characters to any alb
normal conditions without satisfying
himself that his description of those
conditions WIS scientifically accurate
Z Accordingly we do not find in Blacks
novels such absurdities as the use of
the stomach pump in the treatment of
poisoning by the hypodermic injection
of morphine, as described the other day
by the author of story appearing in
a recent magazine; or pyemia' classed
with the pleura, the thorax and the
clavicle as parts Of the human anat-

HOW TO FOLLOW A TRAIL.

To hide trail from the eyes of an
ordinary woodsman needs only good
rain or a few days of sun and wind.
Very few Indians or trappers can fol-
low a trail If the weather has had one
weeks time in which to obliterate it,
There are some men, however, whose
five senses are so carefully coached
that they offer more resources than
does the abnormalIy trained nose Of
the bloodhound. To such woodsmen
a trail once made will stand for weeks
or even months in any sort of
weather
In giving an idea how to go about
following 2 trail it will be necessary
to wade through a few unlikely con-
ditions in order to explain what or
dinarily happens. OF course there are
a thousand and one ways in which a
man may leave traces of himself, as,
for instance, by dropping his handker-
chief or. if he has been wounded, by
mis- blood, or, If he has been smoking
by his cigar ashes.
These conditions often are used in
stories. but when II comes to actual
trail following one is quite likely to
find thar the man to be traced has
neglected % lose his handkerchief, is
not wounded and neyar smokes. When

be expected, laboriously gets up his
facts. Thus when he wishes to de-
scribe the death of Mana, from small
pox, we find him writing to a friend
for reference to detailed descriptions
of the disease. But although his in
dustry in collecting documents is be-
yond praise, in medical matters he is
too apt to rely on the light of nature
for their Interpretation. Hence, as in
'Lourdes,' his craving for realistic eff
