ADDRESSES DEMOCRATS.
The Former Presidential Candidat,
Makes an Important Speech
Gist Of Remarks.

Chicago. July 20.-W. ]. Bryan ar
rived here Saturday morning to attend
the large democratic picnic at Brands
park in the afternoon, where he deliv-
cred speech, Many other prominent
democrats were also in attendance.
The subject of Mr.. Bryan's speech was
"The Democratic IDEAL" He defined the
term and said: ut is impossible to fol-
low one ideal part of the time and an
opposite ideal the rest Of the time; SO
with the party, there must be a constant
effort to apply the same principles and
the. same methods to all questions and
issues $3.50
He scored the republican party, say
ing it was openly allied with organized
wealth and obtained its control by the
unlimited use of money. p
He said that If there was ever an OPP
perfume time for the preaching of dem
ocratic gospel it was the present, and
that the party must appeal to the DEM
ocratic sentiment of the country. He
said the party was handicapped just
now by the fact that the last democratic
administration was more subservient to
corporate dictation than any republican
administration that had preceded It.
and said the record Of that admipistra-
ton had been q milestone about the
party's neck ever since. In conclu-
sion he said If they met the issues at
hand by standing on the side of the
people and protecting their rights, q
victory could be won which would not
end like the victory of 1892, in defeat.

The Japanese and Chinese, who are
the most practical agriculturalists In
the world, have for centuries depended
upon the bamboo as one of their most
useful cultures and the natives OF
tropical India and the Malay archipel-
ago would be much more alta loss
without it than the American farmer
without the white pine, for they are
not only dependent upon 1t for their
building material, but make their
ropes, mats, kitchen utensils. and in
Vulnerable other articles out of 1t, and
at the same time consider It among the
most nutritious Of their vegetables.
To enumerate the uses Of such fam
lily Of plants as this would be like Civ
ing list Of the articles made from
American pine, and It would not serve
the purpose Of this bulletin SO we'll as
to simply point out the fact that the
wood Of this bamboo is suited to the
manufacture of different class Of ar
ticles and fills different want from
that Of any Of our American woods.
Every country. schoolboy is aware Of
the superiority OF q bamboo fishing
pole over any other. It's dexibility.
lightness and strength distinguish 1t
sharply from any American poles, and
make It better suited for fishing rod
than one made from any wood grown
in this country. It 10 because the
American schoolboys are so firmly.
convinced that the bamboo fishing
poles are the best that the importers
are warranted in shipping into the
United States from Japan every year
several millions Of them.
The thin, flexible ribs Of the Inn
ported Japanese fan are made from the
wood of the same plant.
These are two uses Of bamboo wood
which illustrate It's character, and
must be familiar to nearly everyone.
When one realizes. however. that they.
are selected from over hundred,
which would be Just as familiar to the
Chinese or Japanese. it seems highly
probable that this wood must be appli-
cable to many other needs among
Americans, which, closer acquaint-
ance with 1t would reveal. Santos Du-
mont has employed bamboo extern
sively in the framework Of his dirigi-
BILE balloons, and Edison once used it
in his incandescent lamps.
Americans see in America only the
imported poles on manufactured ar
ticles as q rule, and from these it is
very dimcult to Imagine the multitude
of uses to which the green, uncured
stems are putt Is for Just such
things as can be made quickly from
the green shoots that the plant is pc
.culiarly fitted, and this suitability for
making all sorts Of handy contrivances
10 one Of the principal reasons why It
should be made q common plant
among the farmers Of those parts of
our country where It win grow.

Victor Hugo had the odd habit Of
standing up to his work, high desk
specially constructed for him making
this possible. Hour after hour he
would stand on his feet before this
desk and busy himself with his liter
airy work. This desk may be seen in
the new Hugo museum. which Paris is
now able to control and preserve for
the coming generations of book lovers
and literary lights. Victor Hugo lived
to be 80 years Of age, and even at that
age was vigorous and active. It was
q novel sight to see him before his
desk much in the attitude Of the clerk
in the busy Office where the breast
high desks are used.
The house where Hugo was born
1s still standing, and is also q point of
interest to the tourist. It is three

in Paris between the time Of his birth
and the return to Paris after his exile

he lived in the Place Royale, and had
gathered gothic stained glass, carved

and made pert Of the present collsc-
ton. How they would have enriched
the Hugo museum, and intensified the
interest in the place, which is sure to
become one Of the most popular points
of interest to the tourist.

Made Good Record ;,

james hayward, who conducts a
sheep ranch in the interior Of the
coded Sioux lands between the Mis-
sour river and the Black. Hills, has
made a remarkable record in sheep
raising. Last year he purchased 600
yearling ewes. He gave the flock
close attention during the unusually
severe weather of last winter, with
the result that he lost only three
head. From the 600 sheep he this
summer had q lamb crop of 511, and
the receipts from the wool which he
has just sold amounted to over 5000.
Martin johnson, one of the big
sheep raisers on the ceded lands, has
just marketed his wool crop, which
brought him $4,000. Last yearahe put
up about 400 tons, of hay. This year
he expects to put up 1000 tons, SO
he will be prepared for emergencies
should next winter be severe one.
During ,ne winter johnson fed $500
sneep. Last year he was laughed at
by adjoining ranchmen for putting up
SO much hay, but had it not been for
his foresight he would probably have
lost his entire flock, as the winter
was the worst he experienced in ten
years.
