Mr.. Bryan IN His Character
of "Biddy."

The instinct of political mater
nifty is notably strong in Mr.. William
]. Bryan. If he could be metamor-
phosed into hen he would cuck
and "set" in spite Of persisten,
housings In cold water, and if driven
from one nest he would settle him
self comfortably in another. A
popularity of Mr. Bryan in his
character of "biddy" in the Demo
cratic barnyard is that he will ST for
days and weeks on anything that
bears the least semblance to an egg.
In fact, he would rather hatch his
chickens from something without a
yolk, for anything of golden color
is displeaslng to him.
In his official incubator for Pres
idential booms, the Commoner, Mr..
Bryan has gathered the strongest as
sortment of nest eggs-gourds, door
knobs and billiard balls-that ever
raised false hopes in the breast of
ga rained on fowl" The germ of
life isn't in them and the "biddy"
may sit through twice the years of
an ordinary hen without discover
ing the painful error. 1t is doubt
full, indeed, if the mistake will ever
be understood and one can fancy
the Bryan hen tiptoeing around in
toddling old age and wondering
why her ungrateful chicks refused
to come out of the shell.
But even after Presidential chick
ems have been incubated in another
nest "Biddy" Bryan has been known
to appropriate them. This has been
done without the slightest regard to
the wishes of the chickens themsel-
YES. With ruflled feathers and an
amazing amount of cackling and
clucking Mr.. Bryan has insisted on
mothering boom for Senator F. M.
Cockrell of Missouri, although the
Senator has declared that he is not
a cockerel of that brood. 1t was
after the politicians at Jefferson City
had discovered the live possibilities
Of Senator Cockrell as Democratic
candidate, and after the Senator
himself had asserted that he would
rather be reelected to his old posi-
ton than to the Presidency that Mr..
Bryan swooped down upon him and
took him under his fostering wing.
What makes these INSTRUCTED
efforts of the free silver "biddy"
more unfortunate than absurd is
that there are several motherless
chickens most anxious for adoption.
Mr.. Dockery of Missouri, for in.
stance, has already been hatched-
by a process akin to spontaneous
generation-and he is piping mourn
fully for "Biddy" Bryan to scratch
up worms and other sustenance I'M
til he is strong enough to care for
himself-that is, if he isn't carried
off with the "gaps. kansas City
