Will Have to Guess.
From the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
Would Mr.. Bryann support Mr..
Cleveland if the latter should be the
nominee OF the party in 19O4?-Mem'
phis Commercial Appeal.
We don't know We do know, how
ever, that if Mr. Bryan should be nom
mated by the party next year he would
not receive the support OF MIR. Cleye-
land. The sage of Buzzard's Bay Is on
record. His support" of Mr.. Bryan
in 1896 and 1900 is matter of political
history.
IfMr. Cleveland should be the nom
inee OF the party in 1904 and MIR.
BRYAN could not conscientiously sup
port him he Bryan could % depend
ed upon to manifest the courage of his
convictions and make known his deter
mination. He wouldn't do as Cleve'
laud did when the party standard was
in the Nebraskan's hands. He would
not shut himself up like an oyster and
refuse to let the country know his
attitude, thus throwing the weight OF
his influence against the party. He
would take stand, not on the fence
or in the ditch, but on one side or the
other.
But there isn't any danger of either
the sage of Buzzar,l's Bay or the Ne
braskan being the next nominee OF the
national democracy, so the Memphis
Commercial-Appe will have to con
tent itself with knowing what Mr.
Cleveland would do and guessing what
Mr.. Bryan would do "if," etc.

Sends Bogus Checks to Churches.

Some man who 10 either crazy or a
fool, who thinks be is a practical Joker,
has been amusing himself by sending
large but bogus checks TO churches IN
New York and Brooklyn. The other
day the Bushwick Avenue Reformed
church of the latter city received a
check for $1,000, signed "Robert
Sneid." When the pastor announced
the receipt OF the check the congrega'
ton sang praise God From Whom
All Blessings Flow" and then there
were great plans made about what
should be done with the money. A day
or two latter the check was returned
TO the pastor from the bank on which
it WAS drawn with ''nO good" written
across its face Several other churches
are reported TO have received similar
checks.

Truth and wisdom In This.

A preacher in Kansas the other day
delivered brief funeral sermon in
these words: Post norton praises
and love are in the air. People kiss
their dead who never stop To kiss their
living. They hover over caskets in
hysteric sobs, but fail to throw their
arms about loved ones who are fighting
the stern battle OF life. A word OF
cheer to the struggling soul in life il
worth more than the roses OF Christen'
dom piled high on the casket cover.

living cAu; scatter them broadcast ia
their pathway, therefore, and pluck
out the thorus before it is too late"

For the coming of the spring.

There is no certainty as to his action,
because he is always subject TO outside
Influences. He never relies upon him
SELF or the inward authority that
speaks to him. He is the echo of the
last man who pleaded his case before
him. He is remagnetized every time
he comes in contact with new per-
