the author of the Fowler banking

bills ever proposed, was speaker
before the State Association of
Bankers which met in St. Paul this

in his address was: "The bank
ers themselves, rather than the pro-
fessional politicians and theorists,

capital idea, Why not let the

Missouri. Here we have no angle
worms, but must catch frogs and
grasshoppers and such things to
use for bait. 1t is cOmical to see
the fellows racing after grasshop-
pers and the girls going about with
toads in their apron pockets. Now
girls and boys, do not imagine that
girls in the west are tough because
/ said they tished with toads; not
by any means; there never was

who live in the west. They are as
kind and tender as a mother, and

But luck changed and we succeeded
at last in capturing a number of
grasshoppers, and then we went
after the fish. 1t was quite difficult
getting near enough to angle for
them as the water was quite clear,
and the brush grew so thick on the
banks that in stepping on them it
made noise that frightened the
fish away. But we were fairly
lucky, and you know it is allow
able to tell all kinds of fish stories,
but we actually cooked and ate all
we caught, and they tasted good,
having a flavor that created an ap-
petite for more; but we had plenty
of fish for supper - some were
already canned. The girls waded
around in the creek and tried to
gig some, but they got tired and
soon were struggling through the
brush, painting and tearing their
clothes. When they got to camp
they thought to have a little rest
and lay in the shade of the trees.
But no sooner had they laid down
than they were covered with all
the insects of the woods: bugs,
ants, beetles, big surly worms, who
thought some one was trespassing
on their rights, and flies and mos
quitoes sang sweet songs and
ticlxled their noses until they soon
found out that this would never do,
and if they rested they must sit up
like grown-up folks and fan the
flies away properly.
We ate, drank and told tales and
enjoyed ourselves until it was time
to start home. Hitching up ouI

rested, we were soon spinning
along towards home, thinking how

For brazen eifrontery and wan-
ton insult, the recent editorial in
the Chicago Chronicle under the
caption, "Bryan's lmpudence Re-
buked," takes the cake. Foryears
the Chronicle has persistently knitted
every Democratic measure and
every Democratic candidate in
State Or National campaigns. For
such a sheet as that to wantonly
impugn the motives and purposes
of Mr.. Bryan, is more than any
honest Democrat can bear with
equanimity. 1t says "the gentle
man from Nebraska has insisted
upon and commanded perpetual
reaifirmation of the platforms on
which he made his disgraceful
campaigns in 1895 and 1900" We
submit to the decent, intelligent
citizen regardless of party, if those
were disgraceful campaigns. If
they were not fought out with the
purest motives and on the highest
plane Of the best interests of hu-
manity. We also submit that, had
it not been for such traitorous ver-
min as the Chronicle and others OF
it's ilk among the daily press of the
country, subsidized to and con-
trolled, body and soul, by the
gigantic and corrupt corporate in
terests of the country, he would
have been triumphantly elected.

DunQleQ up women ana CnllQfGn
and started out to Beaver Creek to
catch some of the speckled beau
ties, which abound in that stream.
We drove slowly along, always
looking and expecting to see somc-
thing new, telling big yarns and
fish stories. The children were
unusually quiet, because it was
such change and children always
like new things. We drove over
hills, through canyons, lanes and
prairies. AS we were driving along
one of the fellows jumped out of
the buggy and caught little
meadow lark and gave to child
in the party. o! my, but wasn't it
proud of that little bird; how it
squeezed the little thing, and there
couldn't have been money enough
in the crowd to buy that precious
treasure. | looked back pretty
soon and saw the poor mother bird
darting and chirruping about and
hunting for it's little one. Pres
entity the chiid's fingers relaxed
from their tight grasp, there was a
flutter and a cry of "catch it, catch
it." Several of us made frantic
pretenses of catching it, but it
made good it's escape. The last |
saw of it it was making tracks for
it's mother, and a little child was
disappointed. But a little drive
further on brought new scenes and
the little one soon forgot all about
it. Soon we were driving along
the creek among the farms, or
ranches, as they are called here.
Some of them as pretty little homes
as any one could wish for, and they
remind me somewhat of the farms
in Belleview valley. They grow
the finest of alfalfa and vegetables
of all kinds, and | saw some young
apple orchards that looked quite
thrifty. There being fine creek
and furnishing abundance of water,
these men have built fluming along
the sides of the hills and it carries
the water along, mile after mile,
and irrigates their farms; besides
there are some very fine springs
that furnish good drinking water.
Every one seemed prosperous
and happy, or it might have been
because we were happy that we
thought every one else was. Well.
we know one or two of the party
got pretty merry and jubilant be-
fore we got home; but never mind,
it doesn't happen very often, and
one must taste the sweets of life
now and then. About 10 o'clock
we came to a nice shady place with
plenty Of water, so we decided tc
stop and camp, as all declared they
were hungry. And l tell you We
did that part Of the programme tc
perfection. Then all, except some
of the women and children, made
for the creek to see who would be
the luckiest. But there is differ
