A DEMOCRATIC FEAST
At Kasas City Prominent Speakers
Attended a Banquet.
Among the Speakers Were W. j. Bryan
SenatorsSt and Coekreu. David Over
myer. Cato Sells and Congressman
Gilbert II. Hitchcock.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 21.-United
States Senator William Joel Stone
was the guest of honor at a banquet
given at the Midland hotel last night
by the Jackson County Democratic
club. Besides Senator Stone the
speakers were Senator E. NJ. Cockren,
William Jennings Bryan, Cato Sells.
of Iowa; G. NJ. Hitchcock, of Omaha,
Neb.; David Overmyer, of Kansas,
and DR.. W. S. Woods. Four hundred
and fifty democrats attended, among
the number being practically all of
the members of the Missouri Demo-
cratic State Press association, which
met here yesterday.
The speakers of the evening were
Senators Stone and Cockrell, William
]. Bryan, Congressman G. II. Hitch
cock, Hon. David Overmyer. Hon. Cato
Sells and J. ]. Swofford.
Senator T. NJ. Cockrell spoke on
Grand Old Missouri" and reviewed
the history of the democratic party
from its organization until the pres
ent time.
Cato Sells, of Iowa, responded to
the toast Democratic Missouri VS..
Republican Iowa"
COngressman-elect Gilbert NJ.
Hitchcock, editor of the Omaha
World-Herald, spoke on The Press"
W. J. Bryan was greeted with a
rousing cheer when he rose to re-
spond to the toast, Democracy" He
said that lie was glad the people of
Missouri had placed in the senate a
man of moral courage, based en-
moral character, which was needed
more than ability. He would have
to go long way, he said, to find a
man who possessed both the moral
courage and the ability of William J.
Stone. He was glad Missouri had the
harmonizing kind of democracy. It
stood by what was right and invited
everybody who believed in what was
right 10 go with it.
David Overmyer, of Topeka, re-
sponded to the toast "A Kansas
Democrat" He began speaking at
2:20 a. m. God hath given the Kan
sas democrat the boon of resigna-
tion," said Mr.. Overmyer. "On every
economic question Kansas is demo-
cratic to-day. Though she hugs to
her rugged bosom the ignis fatuus of
prohibition she still cherishes per-
sonal liberty. The day will come
when Kansas will have as sound, as
substantial and as successful 4 de-
mocracy as there is in any state.
Three times in 80 years our people
have risen above their prejudices.
Born in conflict and baptized in
blood, Kansas, politically, got bad
start. The spring of prejudice is still
strong. The democrats of Kansas
are growing bigger and stronger
and viii yet be a power. The boys
who care nothing for patronage
must turn in and help the men who
stand for principle. You will never
succeed against the republican party
until you appeal to the conscience of
the nation. The democratic financial
principles have been justified by
events. The Kansas democrat knows
that when the attorney general of
the United States moved against the
trusts he Endorsed the Kansas City
platform. And when the president
said congress had power to handle
trusts he indorsed that platform"
Senator Stone was the last speaker
in the programme. His subject was
Thomas Jefferson"

TATToOED UNDER THE RING.
women Have the Date of Their We'd
ding Permanently Traced Under
the Golden Band.

A professional tattooist is of opinion
that people nowadays want something
more striking or more personal than
fearsome skin pictures of japanese
dragons, arrow-pierced hearts and
winged cupids, says Stray Stories.
Recently he has been visited by
many ladies of all degrees anxious to
have the date of their wedding per-
manently traced upon the skin. The
favorite position for such date is on
the third finger of the left hand, the
inscription to be printed so finely that
the wedding ring covers the marks. .
This, of course, is very delicate
work, and necessitates the removal of
the ring for a few days. Being some
what of a novelty a fancy price is
also expected.
Ancient DANES who have just cele-
brated their golden weddings think
the occasion worthy of some more
permanent record than that afforded
by the newspapers. Within a month
one fashionable tattooist piled his nee
dies on the aged fingers of eight dis
tinguished ladies whose golden we'd
ding gatherings had received notice
in the daily journals.
Nor do the veteran husbands object
to be branded. A hale old squire of
70 offered an index finger to the
artist, covering the figures by dom
ming massive gold ring, in which
diamond sparkled. Another loyal hus-
band had the dates done in many hues,
concealing the same by plain we'd
ding ring purchased by his wife.
A more precarious idea, albeit
pretty one, is to wear the date of be-
trothal on the ring finger. Where
love runs smoothly the fancy is quite
poetical, but should estrangement en-
sue and Indifference follow, the little
figures under the jeweled girdle prove
a veritable eyesore. One young lady,
anxious to forget her engagement to
tickle lover, had her dated finger
operated upon four times before the
annoying figures were satisfactorily
effaced.
A tattooed finger caused disturb
ance between man and wife on one oc-
casion. The husband had never told
his partner of a former attachment,
but, woman-like, she sought to know
why he never removed the ring from
his left third finger. His evasive eX-
cuses excited jealousy.
She decided that he should take off
that ring some day, but as he refused
she managed, by soaping his finger
while he slept soundly, to rid him
of the golden band. The finely tat
tooed inscription of his first engage
ment revealed what she considered to
be his insincerity, and weeks went by
before peace was reestablished be-
tween them.
