he came home one evening not long
since and found Mrs. Bowser lying
on the lounge with a bandage
around her head he was sorry for
her, of course--just as sorry as the
average husband. And, like the
average husband, he stood and
glared at her a moment and then
blurted out
"Well, I've been looking for it

cooD rsIslDENriAL TIMBER.


There have lately TUNED up
many fuent4 Of the Hon. William
Randolph Hearst. They seem to
be the most enthusiastic bunch
among all the politicians who have
discussed this thing Of the next
Democratic candidate. They all
seem TO be saturated with the idea
that Mr.. Hearst is the only man
who can win aud they are willing 10
give reason for the faith that is in
them. In the first place they say
that Mr.. Hearst is the only proprie-
tor of a great daily newspaper in
the North who loyalty supported
the ticket in 1890 and 1900. and
who fought as hard for the ticket as
any man on the ticket. They
claim that any man nominated in
100 who did not Loyalty support
the ticket, or who, even, was luke
warm, will be defeated next year,
for The reason that the loyal
Democrats in the States of New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey
will vote the socialist labor ticket
which will give those states, abso.
lutely essential to Democratic sue
cess, to the Republicans. They
claim that Mr.. Hearst, who has en-
deared himself to the laboring peo-
pie OF the country by fighting their
battles at all times, can carry
every center of industrial activity
in the country, thus assuring Demo
cratic success in the States of Con
necticut, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Illinois and
California, which means Demo
cratic victory in the nation, and
they say that victory is what they
are after. They say that man who
has the business interests at stake
as those possessed by Mr.. Hearst,
whose payroll amounts to over s4,-
200, 600 year. and who has never
had controversy with single man
ever on that payroll, can not help
being a satisfactory candidate TO
the thousands of conservative bust
ness men of the country who did
not support the ticket in the cam.
paigns of 1890 and 1900.
They advance the claim that he
is the very apothesis of anti-trusts,
the only man in the country who
has ever gone after the trusts with
his own money and made them
tremble, and that the trust question
will be uppermost in the next cam
paign, hence, their man is Demo
cratic platform in himself. That
he is the very embodiment of JEFF
fersonian and Jacksonian Demo.
crazy. That he is a man who can
hold all the vote that Bryan got and
add to it the vote of labor regard
less of past political afIiliation, also |
the vote of thousands of men who |
ate in business and whose business
IS Jeopardized by the cormorant
trusts of the country. That he is
absolutely independent of the trusts
and the money interests of the
country, and that he possesses the
money personally to give the party
the greatest campaign ever waged in
the nation and can duplicate every
dollar of fat fried out of the trusts
by the Republican campaign mana
gers. That he is young, an able
executive, philanthropist, a hui
manitarian, an honest lover of JUS
tiee to the people. In short, they
claim ne can win if nominated.
