BRYAN's POINTER

According toa New York dispatch Bryan,
in his letter to the Tilden club, admitting
that he did receive an invitation to the
recent reconciliation meeting, but that
it. was mislaid and overlooked, takes oc-.
casion to lug in further expressions Of
his hostility toward ex-President Cleve-
land, reading him again out Of the demo-
cratic party and declaring that he
(Bryan) was compelled to bear the
odium which his administration had
brought upon the party odium which has
already led to more disastrous defeat
than any since experienced"
The country is pretty we'll satisfied
that Bryan is rather carrying the burden
of the odium which his peculiar "demo-
cratic principles" have brought upon HIM
self and party, an odium recognized by
considerable portion Of the democratic
party who voted for him in 1896 and 1900.
Bryan is evidently preparing to carry
some more odium of his own manufacture
and lead his adherents to yet more dis
astrous defeat. He clings to free silver
and nti-imperialism as paramount" is
sues, when his party, as represented by
the house democrats in caucus assembled,
set forth antitrust and tariff revision as
the only issues worthy of their consider
alton. The house democrats are supposed
to know what they want and what their
party wants. They are supposed, when
they emit caucus utterance, to speak for
4 their party. Bryan has ignored this rec
ognized fact and assumes to play the role
of party dictator. ...-.s.. H.. -.s ::

The GRAIN DEALERS

Grain Dealers association is in annual
convention in Minneapolis to-day. Rep
resentative country grain merchants from
both states are in attendance. They are
an optimistic lot of men, ha(bitually look

their prosperity is. so closely bound UP
with the primary cause of all prosperity
in the northwest, it is gratifying to know
that they are more optimistic than ever
this year. 81

of present conditions, the yields in bush

but in all grains
The report does not pretend to entire

The Book of Orchids. By ". H. White,
Orchid Grower to tSir Trevor Lawrence,
President of the British Royal Horticultural
Society. New York: The Bodley Head,
John Lane.
Mr.. White is a well-known cultivator Of
orchids in England, and in this book be deals
with some of the most interesting varieties.
Interest in orchids has greatly increased in
England and in this country during the last
twenty-five years, and the new discoveries
and the artificial hybridization process have
very greatly increased the number of species
and varieties. In England close study of the
native conditions under which imported or
chids grow enables the gardeners to grow
healthy and vigorous plants at home. There
are many people who are enthusiasts as to
orchids, who will pay ten or twenty times
more than a variety Is worth so as to en-
hance, as they think, the value of their coll
lections. The amateur orchid collector will
find this book useful for reference IL he is
acquainted with the botanical names Of the
various species and varieties. The book Ia

Gregorie, the chaplain of the castle, was
really the DUO de scissors, and the Comte de
Soucie and legal heir to the de Soucie prop
erty and a cousin of herself. After a strug-
gle she decided at his solicitation to marry
him instead of the young Don Velasco, o
Spaniard who loved her and whom she
thought she loved, for by marrying the DUO

but not before many tragical events occurred,
including the attempt of hostile Germ

LESSON THOUGHTS.

LESSON IdOUOh1Ss
Christ has no slaves in his service; all
his servants are children, and all his
children are flee.
Blind, ignorant service is not freedom,
else were the superstitious slaves of hea-
thenism free; scrupulous legal service is
not freedom, else were the slavish Phari-
sees free; but a real knowledge of this
truth is what gives liberty-that God,
through Jesus Christ our Savior, accepts
us as his children.
Faithful study of Gods word reveals
more and more clearly the love of his
salvation, and knowledge of this truth
makes us free indeed, for then every SER
vice is free from compulsion and is only
the spontaneous offer of grateful love.
SELECTIONS.
In its own measure every truth we
learn gives us a sense OF liberty. The
truth emancipates from superstition,
from timorous waiting upon the opinion
of authorities, from all that cramps men
tai movement and stunts mental growth.
But true freedom is freedom from sin,
and the truth which brings that freedom
is the truth about God the Father, and
Iesus Christ whom he has sent.
'Tis so great and yet so awful,
So bewidering, yet so brave,
To be king in every conflict
Where before crouched a slave.
It's so glorious to be conscious
Of glorious power within,
Stronger than the rallying forces
Of a charged and marshalled sin.
Jesus Christ not only gives life to the
soul which believes in him, he also COM
mands the Spirit to descend upon him,
to set him free from all enslaving habits.
"If the Son makeyou free, ye shall be free
indeed"
If we would be freed from the bondage
of sin, and have our connection with
Gods family made real, rightful, perma-
nent, the only way to enter into that
blessed freedom is by faith in the Son of
God, and by him to be manumitted and
adopted as sons and daughters of the
Lord Almighty.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Come, Holy Spirit.
Take thou my hand and lead me.
While thou, my God, art my help and de-
fender.
Turn thee, o lost one.
Search me, o Lord, and try this heart OF
mine.
True hearted, whoe-hearted.

A HAsTY MARRIAGE.
And the Bride Was Not the One the
WoOer Sought.

And the Bride Was Not the One the
Wooer Sought.
Oliver Cromwell was so great man
that he dwarfed bis surroundings, and
it is singular how little the majority of
people knew about the family and fam
lily life of this ''the most typical Eng
hshman Of all time" He had three
daughters, the youngest of whom was
Frances. Her attractions must have
been considerable. The young woman
had several love affairs, but certainly
the one that had most amusing ter
mination was her Irritation with her
fathers chaplain, Jerry White
One day the protector surprised Jer-
ry on his knees in the very act of kiss
ing the lady's hand. Cromwell coldly
demanded the meaning of the scene,
and Jerry, with a pretty wit. exclaim-
ed that he had long been counting
''that young gentlewoman, my lady's
woman" although without success. He
was now therefore humbly praying her
ladyship to intercede for him.
Cromwell turned at once to the wait
ing woman and requested to be inform
ed why she refused the honor his
friend, Mr.. White, would do her. The
young woman, fully equal to the occa-
sion, replied magnanimously that if
Mr.. White intended her that honor she
would not be so churlish as to deny
him. "Call Goodwin" returned Crom-
well, and the pair were married
straightway.

musical SOUND. and Noise.

1t is a curious fact that musical
sounds fly farther and are heard at
greater distance than those which are
more loud and noisy. If we go on the
outside Of a town during fair, at the
distance of mile we hear the musical
instruments, but the din of the multi
tude, which is so oyerpowering in the
place, can scarcely be heard, the noise
dying on the spot. To those who are
conversant with the power of musical
instruments the following observations
will be understood: The violins made
at Cremona about the year 1900 are
superior in tone to any of a later date,
age seeming to dispossess them of their
noisy qualities and leaving nothing
but the pure tone. If a modern violin
is played by the side of one of those
instruments, it will appear much the
louder of the two, but on receding
hundred PAGES when compared with
the Cremona it will scarcely be heard.
