EXCERPTS FROM BRYAN.

The w. Z. Hearst syndicate publishes
the following opinions expressed by w
j. Bryan. The first explains Denmark
opposition TO the sale of the Danish
islands Said Bryan;
II learned while in Denmark that one
of the chief reasons for the opposition
to the sale of the Danish islands to the
United States was the fact that the
United States did not guarantee full
citizenship to the inhabitants of those
islands.
The nations conduct elsewhere pre-
vented this. Our refusal to give the
Porto Ricans and the Filipinos the pro-
lection of the constitution is largely to
blame for the loss of the Danish is
lands to our country
The next is regarding the influence of
The Hague peace tribunal:
Zone of the members Of the arbi-
tration court told me that it, was both
interesting and instructive TO note how
the nations appearing before that court
emphasized. not so much their pecun-
larry claims as the honor of their re-
spective nations and the justice of
their acts.
mo one can foresee or foretell how
great an influence The Hague tribunal
will have upon the worlds affairs, but
it would seem difficult to eXaggerate
the. good that may be derived from
such elaboration"

IN LAVINIA'S
GARDEN
By TEMPLE BAILEY
Copyright, 1901, by Temple Bailey

Miss Lavinia's garden was a vege-
table garden.
"The young folks can have the flow
ers,' she said to the captain, who lived
next door and kept very shipshape
little yard, 'but give me something
substantial. Ycu can't eat flowers
Now and then, when the captain
handed Miss Lavinia a bunch of sweet
peas or a cluster of roses over the
fence, he tried to argue the question
There's poetry in flowers, Miss La
vinia, and the language of love-"
"Huhr' shifted the little woman.
"Who cares about the language of love
at my age?" And the captain would
go away very sad.
For years the captain had cared. for
Miss Lavinia in a sort of nautical fash
ion. She was what he called a trim
little craft, and in spite of her sharp
tongue he lived near enough to see the
tender acts that made her the blessed
lady of the community. There was
not beggar nor stray dog nor a tor
mented cat that would not find help or
shelter at the little white cottage on
top of the hill All the women of the
village came to Miss Lavinia with their
woes, and the men came, too, to get
sharp bits of advice and now and then
little loan of money without interest.
So for fifteen years the captain and
Miss Lavinia had lived in adjoining
cottages-he a widower longing for
wife and the comfort of a home, she a
spinster with buried hopes, living a
life of helpfulness.
The captains suit had not progress
ed, however, for after all their years
of acquaintance he discovered no more
tenderness in Miss Lavinia's glance
than in the beginning, and he hesitat-
ed to declare himself, yet there had
grown up between them a friendship
that permitted him to offer her the
fruits of his fishing expeditions, while
in preserving and picking time Miss
Lavinia always filled certain jars and
glasses to be set forth on the little ta-
Bile next door.
So things went on smoothly until
one day the captain discovered that he
had a rival

member. and when Deacon Werner lost

Ancient yentri1oauism.

Ventriloquism was undoubtedly
known both to the Jews and to the
Egyptians. 1t was used by many per
sons for purposes of deception. The
wizards who employed 1t declared that
their familiar spirit" resided in the
abdomen, whence the voice was sup
posed to proceed. The Old Testament
Scriptures abound with denunciations
both of persons who had these IA
miliar spirits and of those who went
to seek their advice and assistance.
They were treated as though they were
in familiar intercourse with the evil
one and according to Jewish law re-
ceived no mercy. Instances, however,
are very frequent In much later his
tory of deception being successfully
practiced by persons having this pecul-
lar gift.

could Not Find the place.

Mrs. Darlington, methodical north
ern Michigan housekeeper whose rou
tine was the same year in and year
out, developed cough one fall and
was sent to Arizona for the winter
but she did not leave her household
cares behind her. From time to time
she wrote to various members Of her
tain dates and admonishing them In
this wise: Remember, Mary, to clean
the linen closet the first week in Janu-
ary." "Do not forget, Charles, to
sprout the potatoes in the cellar the
second week in February"
The winter brought with it an un-
precedented amount of snow, but in
spite of family letters Mrs. Barring
ton in Arizona was unable to realize
the state of the weather at home
Toward the end of February the con-
scientious housekeeper wrote to her
gardener, instructing him to be sure to
plant the sweet peas along the back
fence on the usual date, the first day
of April.
John, the gardener, bought the sweet
peas, but was unable to carry out the
rest of Mrs. Barrington's Instructions
for reason which he explained in the
following letter to his mistress:
Respected Madam: I have bought
the peas, but cannot plant them.
There is SO much snow that I cannot
find the fence"

CHURCHES AND OUTLAWS.
Ancient Laws That Gave Shelter and
Protection to Criminals

Protection to Criminals.
In early times, when life and prop
erty were accounted cheap unless de-
Tended sword III hand, the church of
fered shelter and sanctuary to those
who had occasion to fear the arm of
the law. In the middle ages whoever
crossed the threshold of a church was
considered under divine protection and
could not be arrested, while several
churches and cathedrals still preserve
the knockers used by those who had
fed thither for shelter and claimed ad-
mittance. In some buildings the fugi-
tive from justice sat upon a chair or
stool, and the register of a church in
Durham, England, covering a period
extending from the year 1464 to the
year 1924, included, besides other
crimes, 1875 murders and homicides, In
which 283 persons seeking protection
we're concerned. To attempt to violate
sanctuary by force was in those days
a very serious matter, and when the
outlaw decided to save his life by leav-
ing the realm he did SO in the follow
ing manner: when a robber, murderer
or other evil doer shall fly unto any
church upon his confession of felony
the coroner shall cause the abjuration
to be made thus: Let the felon be
brought to the church door and there
be assigned unto him port, near or
far off, and time appointed to him to
go out Of the realm, so that in going
toward that port he carry a cross in
his hand, and that he go not out of the
kings highway, neither on the right
hand nor on the left, but that he keep
it always until he shall be gone out Of
the land, and that he shall not return
without special grace of our lord the
king"

ASKED.
his wife it was not long before people
began to couple the names of Brother
Werner and Sister Lavinia For did
not Brother Werner spend every Sun
day evening at Sister Lavinia's, and
did not Sister Lavinia set forth on the
weekly supper table all the dainties of
her skilled cooking?
The captain pondered on these things
one Saturday afternoon as he watched
Miss Lavinia in her garden culling
lettuce and radishes and big red rasp-
berries for the next days feast. The
captain knew just how that table would
look. Now and then on high days and
holidays he, too, had feasted at his
neighbor's table. The lettuce would
SURROUND dainty salad made from
chickens of Miss Lavinia's own rails
ing. The radishes would be cut like
red roses and would garnish the cold
meat; there would be crisp rusks and
cream for the berries, thick and yellow.
And, best of all, Miss Lavinia's face
would illumine the feast, and her quiet
wit would enliven it The captain
sighed. Then he rose and went to the
fence and looked over at Miss La
vinia.
"Such devotion deserves reward"
he said bitterly as he watched her
work.
Miss Lavinia looked up at him from
under her sunbonnet.
'What do you mean, captain?' she
asked as she pulled up a half dozen
tender young onions and dropped them
in her basket.
Brother Werner is lucky man, OBJ
served the captain, his accusing eyes
on Miss Lavinia.
The little woman blushed. Then she
smoothed down her apron and looked
self conscious. The tug at the cap
tain's heart was painful. What would
he do if he lost her-his little neighbor
with the keen, blue eyes?
Captain" said Miss Lavinia, Il wish
you would step over TO my porch for a
minute and have little talk Would
you mindr'
Would he mind! 1t was the joy of his
life to sit on that vine covered porch
and be talked to by Miss Lavinia, for

PERSONAL NOMENCLATURE.
Ancient Names and the Modern 81,
tenn of Suruamea

Ancient Names and the Modern sys-
tenn of Surnames.
Neither Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyr-
ians, Babylonians, Persians nor Greeks
had surnames, and in the earliest peri
cd Of their history the same may be
said of the Romans. In course of time,
however, every Roman citizen had
three names-the praenomen, or per
sonal name; the nomen, or name Of the
gems or clan, and the cognomen, or
family name, as Publius Cornelius Scip-
10. Conquerors were occasionally COM
plimented by the addition of fourth
name, or agnomen, commemorative of
their conquest, as Publius Cornelius
Scipio Africanus.
1t is impossible to state with any de
gree of certainty when the modern
system of personal nomenclature be-
came general. 1t has been stated that
the practice of surnames began in Nor
mandy and extended to England after
the Norman conquest, but a document
in the Cottonian MSS. quoted in Tur-
ner's History of the Anglo-Saxons'
contains reference to Hwita HATTIE, a
keeper of bees in Hathfelda; to Tate
HATTIE, his daughter, mother of Wul-
sige the Shooter, and Lulle HATTIE, sis
ter of Wulsige. The date of these rec
ords of the Hates is not to be ascer-
tanned, but they were certainly written
before the year 1866. So far as anti
quarians have been able to discover,
HATTIE is the first surname whose exist
ence can be traced in England. 1t is
not improbable that the founder Cf the
HATTIE family was so called because of
some unusual or noticeable headgear
that he was in the habit of wearing.

blue sea visible from the porch as ii
he would draw strength from it. Ii

"And the trouble is,' said Miss La

"What!' The captain brought his
eyes back from the ships and a wave
of rapture rippled over his face.

Nothing easier" said the captain.
"HowY'

hitched his chin little nearer.
Miss Lavinia's face grew pink like
a girls, and for a moment she looked
very young. Then she laughed little
tremulously.
81 never thought of that" she said.
''Think of it now" said the captain.
He reached out and took her hands in
his. "Will you, Lavinia? 2"
"Yes,' said Miss Lavinia softly.
After blissful moment the captain
murmured, you'll have to plant some
flowers in your garden now"
"Whyr
Because flowers are the language
