THE GOLDEN WEDDING.

Fifty years of life together!
Dearest. lay your hand In mine;
List. this Is our Golden Wedding
With its radiance divine.
Fifty years of storm Ind sunshine
Fifty years of faith and love-
Fifty years of life together.
Thanks to Him who reigns above.
When / wooed you In your beauty
And our lives were In their Spring.
When we pledged our love in union
And I sealed II with this ring.
Heaven itself was dimmed In vision
By the rapture In my breast;
But to-day my love is stronger
Fifty years has been It's test!
When upon your brow descended
From Gods hand the gift came down.
Woman's regal right OF mother.
Royalty you wore the crown.
Dearest, how loved you, loved you
With a strength I scarce dared own.
Fervid with strong mans passion
Wife. that love has greater grown!
Midst your hair the threads of silver
Came as years they slipped away.
But our lives were bound more closely
BY the love-links forged each day.
Stalwart sons and gracious daughters
Were the gifts you gave to me,
I had but my love to offer
Still its incense circles thee!
Fifty years of life together!
Close, ali. close the shadows steal,
And our feet the rivers margin
Touch unnoticed as We kneel.
Closer, closer, let your heart-beats
Throb with mine this glad to-day
Fifty years of life together!
Storm or sunshine. Love held sway!

FINDS HIS LEVEL AT LAST.
Bryan Has Finally Come Down To His
Proper Place I'm Public
Life.

Intelligent readers who had curiosity
enough to read the report Of Mr.. Bryan's
speech at Greenfield must have been
struck by It's low tone. Mr.. Bryan has
occupied large space in the public eye
and in recent political history. He is
far from being a great man. but man
who has been twice nominated for pres
ident and has been the principal orator
in both campaigns ought to have some
knowledge and grasp OF public questions
and some ideas above those of a cross
roads politician. Mr.. Bryan's speech
did not show anything of the kind. says
the Indianapolis Journal. 1t was not
merely a partisan speech. but a parti-
san speech from a low and narrow point
of view. In the campaigns of 1896 and
1900 he was often eloquent. as political
oratory goes, and stirred his audiences
to high enthusiasm because he was adj
vocating a policy which. however dis
honest and vicious It was. he thoroughly
believed in. He was not master of his
subject because he was on the wrong side
If the question. but he was thoroughly
Imbued with It. and in both campaigns
he held pretty well up to the standard
Of his ''crown-of-thorns-and-cross-of-
gold speech" which nominated him. But
with the death and burial Of free silver
and 16-to-1 Mr.. Bryan's eloquence has
departed. Samson's strength departed
with his hair. As long as Mr.. Bryan
was advocating financial heresy which
he believed in and was full of he was
eloquent In way, and effective. but that
gone he has lapsed into vulgar common
placeness. He deals with small politics
and personalities. He berates the re-
publican party In a sort of country news
paper style. compliments or abuses
prominent Democrats by name accord
ing as they are Bryan or anti.Bryan men.

a rod of iron." and SO on for quantity.
This is very different from the Bryan
oratory OF 1896 and 1900. when he was
imbued with an idea. bad as 1t was. and
felt that he was riding on the top of q
wave that might carry him into the

Faithf.l to Her old Home.

A grocer in Syracuse gave brewer
an old cat and four kittens a day old.
The brewer locked them up in his
brewery for the night. When the
grocer came downstairs the next
morning he found the cat and her
four kittens asleep on his doorstep.
The brewery was four miles away,
and the kittens too young to walk
more than a few steps, SO the old cat
had carried each one in her mouth
four miles.

AN EFFECTIVE TRICK.
To-day ~ Much as Ii Amused
Their Fathers.

This is remarkably simple but
always surprising and effective trick.
The performer takes the stem of q
broken clay pipe OF a straw and, hold
ing it perpendicular to his mouth,
places pea quickly upon the upper
end. Then he makes the pea hop up
and down to lively tune on the piano.
The whole trick consists in sticking
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1903-07-25

q long thin needle into the pea. This
forces it always to return to its place.
A piece of thin wire can be used in
stead of the needle, which in order to
remain invisible, should not be bright
and shining. Care must be taken that
the needle or wire is fastened well into
the pea. SO that it will not drop into the
performers mouth.-Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.

REPUBLc SPECIAL
Buffalo, N. Y, March 2s-while other
women, strangers to her, wiped tears from
their eyes or sighed In establishment at her
sinful revelations. Mrs. Alice Hull Burdick
this afternoon related with indifference the
story Of her troubles with her husband. of
her intimacy with Arthur r. Pennell. of her
disregard Of her children's future, her
broken promises to her husband and Mr..
Burdicks magnanimous inducements to her
to return to become a true wife to him and
. loving mother to his three children.
Not a tear fell from her eyes not a
muscle Quivered.
Without the faintest show of emotion she
told Of her first meeting with Pennell; of
her subsequent meetings with him in At
iantic City and elsewhere; of her trysts
with him in offices and rooniing-houses in
various parts of Buffalo; of her mad infat-
uation for him and her lack of love for her
husband: of her husbands appeals to her.
for the sake of her children. her mother
and herself, to forsake her unrighteous life
and return to home which, though once
closed. would be reopened to her.
With no apparent regret, she listened
while the District Attorney read letter after
letter. disclosing the incontinent bursts of
affection which had marked her relationship
with Penneil. the love which Pennell had
expressed to her and the haughtiness and
independence which had marked his consid-
Grafton Of Mr.. Burdick's feelings and pro-
posals; listened calmly while Mr.. Coats
worth read letters laying bare the sorrows,
the .humiliations and the griefs OF her hus-
band. due. all OF them. to her own wrong
doing. her own forsaken promises.
GIFT FROM PENNELL
WORN OVER WEDDING RING.
With show of vindict!veness she ad-
mitted what was told in a letter from her
husband, that she had worn ring Pencil
presented to her over the wedding ring
Mr.. Burdick gave her in 1856, and with no
indication Of either shame or depreciation
related how. when surprised in a room with
Pennell. she had slipped from window
and hurried to church.
For nearly two hours District Attorney
Coatsworth subjected Mrs. Burdick to a
most pitiless Interrogation. He read and
reread those passages in her letters and
the letters of her husband and Pennell
