BLOOD THIRSTY
PRESIDENT"
Is Bryan's Characterization OF
One 7. Roosevelt.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. S.-Under the
caption, "a Broodthirsty President"
w. ]. Bryan assails President Roose-
welt. His Commoner today says: "In
his West Point speech he laid aside
all restraint and in fit of animal
enthusiasm said: A good soldier must
not only be willing to fight, he must
be anxious to fight. / do not want
to have anything to do with him If he
is not When he said this he turn
ed light upon his inner self and re-
vealed moral deformity which must
shock such of his friends as are not
wholly carried away with the bloody
and brutal gospel of Imperialism. 1t
naturally follows that an administra-
tion which desires to develop good
soldiers should surround cadets with
influences calculated to infuse into
them fighting spirit and eagerness
for blood letting"
Mr.. Bryan predicts that if Roose-
velt Is elected to II second term the
Ten Commandments and the Sermon
ON the Mount will be discarded.

greatly declined. No one cares to en-
large present industries or inaugurate
new ones during the uncertainty. i. In
consequence of the general depression
in trade the duties have fallen off,
leaving the insular government with
less funds to use for ordering goods.
You can imagine the impatience with
which we view the action Of Congress
In fruitless discussion of the water
cure leaving vital issues untouched.
1T is pitiable that the destinies Of
these islands should be in the hands
of a lot of politicians, whose only re-
gard is to prolong the tenure of their
own Offices"

Akron lovers of the turf will soon
be given n chance to witness an ex-
hibition of the sport. such as has
never been seen In this city. The
horses will all be local ones and while
1t is possible that Geers, McHenry,
Spear and Scott Hudson and few
other Grand Circuit drivers may be
engaged, II is more probable that the
campaigners will be driven by their
owners. The race will probably take
place Saturday, Aug. 49, and half
mile heats wall be rum The purse
Will be pure glory"
The race to be held is the outcome
of considerable talk on the part of a
number of attorneys, who own horses,
which, according to their own state
ments, are faster than the average
dray horse. The talk finally assumed
such proportions that there was but
one thing left. That was to arrange
meet In which the speed OF the afore-
said horses might be tested.

Picking Village Names.

"The Street of the Roasted Corn" is
n Of the curious names of streets in
Picking and suggests the singular and
often confusing names given to Chi
nese villages. Here are a few village
names taken from an area Of a few
miles square: "Horse Words Village"
from a tradition of a speaking animal;
"Sun Family Bull Village" wang
Family Great Melon Village" 'Tiger
Catching Village" Horse Without a
Hoof Village" "village Of the Loving
and Benevolent Magistrate'' and the
"Village Of the Makers of Fine Tooth
ed Combs"
Arthur H. Smith in his book on evil
lage Life In China" says that a market
town on the highway, the well Of
which afforded only brackish water,
was called Bitter Water Shop" but
as this name was not pleasing to the
a it was changed on the tax lists to
Sweet Water Shop" If any one asked
how it was that the same fountain
could thus send forth at the same time
waters both bitter and sweet, he was
answered, "Sweet Water Shop is the
same as Bitter Water Shop"

mon kingfisher, is an expert hole borer.
There is scarcely a clayey bank along
the streams Of u middle and south

door of one of these gloomy looking
houses.
The hole is usually quite round and
goes directly into the bank, with a
slight upward slant to a distance Of
from two to four feet, where it turns
nearly at right angles to one side or
the other, ending in a large, jug shaped
pocket, where the eggs are laid. The

She PitieG His Distress.

An artist who was making a sketch
ing tour through a picturesque region
of Connecticut Glanced one day OH a
barn so alluring to his eye that he sat
down on q stone wall and went to work
at once.
He soon became conscious that he
had two interested spectators In the
persons of the farmer and his wife,
who had come to the door Of the house
to watch him.
The artist by and by discovered that
he had lost or mislaid his rubber eras-
er, and as he wished to correct a slight
error in the sketch he went up to the
door and asked the faHnelts wife if he
might have a small piece of dry bread.
This, as every artist knows. makes a
good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him with
an expression of pity not unmixed with
surprise.
"Dry bread" she repeated. "Well, !
guess you won't have to put up with
any dry bread from me, young man.
You come right into the kitchen with
me, and I'll give you a thick slice of
bread with butter on it.
"Now, don't say a word" she contin-
ued, raising her hand to ward off his
expostulation. Il don't care how YOU
came to this state nor anything about
1t. All l know is you're hungry, and
that's enough for me. You shall have a
good dinner"

Speak Kindly Words Now.

In the cours Of our lives there must
be many times when thoughtless
words are spoken by us which wound
the hearts Of others, and there are also
many little occasions when the word
Of cheer is needed from us and we are
silent.
There are lives of wearisome monot-
ony which a word of kindness can re-
Ieve. There is suffering which words
of sympathy can make more endura-
BILE, and often even to the midst Of
wealth and luxury there are those who
listen and long in vain for some express
sion of disinterested Kindness.
Speak to those while they can hear
and be helped by you, for the day may
come when all u expressions of love
and appreciation may be unheard. I'm
aglne yourself standing beside their
last resting place. Think of the things
you could have said of them and to
them while they were yet living. Then
go and tell them now.-Exchange.

A RIDE.
Dickens Trip by S~tnEcconch FROM
Cleveland tn Sandusky.


When Charles Dickens visited Amer
lea in 1912, he Travelled by s~tagecoach
from Cleveland to Sandusky, o.. De
scribing his experience, he wrote:
eat one time we were all thrown to-
gether in Il heap at the bottom OF the
coach, and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails OF the
two wheelers, ana now it was rearing
up in the air. The driver, who certain
ly got over the ground in 4 manner
quite miraculous, so twisted and turn
ed the team in forcing a passage cork
screw fashion through the Dogs and
swamps that it was a common circum-
stance On looking out of the window to
see the coachman with the ends of a
pair of reins in his hands, apparently
driving nothing. and the leaders star
ing unexpectedly at one from the back
of the coach, as if they had some idea
Of getting up behind.
"a great portion of the way was over
is made by throwing trunks of trees
into a marsh and leaving them to set
tie there. The very slightest Of the
jolts with which the ponderous car
rage fell from log to log was enough,
it seemed, to have dislocated all the
bones in the human body. 1t would be
impossible to experience a similar set
of sensations in any other circum-
stances unless perhaps in attempting
to go up to the top of st. Paul's in an
omnibus"
This description serves to illustrate
the condition of our country roads, gen.
orally speaking, as they were half a
century ago except in a few wealthy
communities. There has been a won
derful change since then.

HaMnfi's RinptinE LnnEuage.

The language Of the Hawaiian Is
lands, as every one knows, abounds III
vowels and therefore ripples delicious
ly in the mouth. 1t is only necessary
to pronounce such names as Honolulu,
Oahu, Kilauea, Hilo, Mauna Loa, ha-

err this. A young Presbyterian clergy
man Of Brooklyn who visited the is
lands two OF three years ago M pre-
pared Il lecture on them on his return
declared hat there was only n place
on the islands which possessed a name
lacking in euphony. That place was
Spreckelsville. This euphony Of the
Hawaiian tongue was productive of
one Of the jokes Of his lecture. The
first time he gave it he remarked Incl
dentally that he "took the steamer
Wy-ally~ally to go to the town Of Ma
willy-willy." A laugh followed the re-
mark, and thereafter he always in
cluded this phrase in his lecture. It
invariably produced the same result
when used.-New York Tribune.
