"Loye one another" is a good rule which is being followed out by several
 nations these days from anything but affectionate motives, says an ex- change. Russia owes the French peo- pie something like $400,000,OO0 and France is an ally of the Muscovite.
 England seeks to protect her eastern interests; Japan fights to protect her integrity; and love between the Briton and the Jap is most pronounced. The United States are also fraternal with several nations, but none more so than with England, This affection is be- cause of commercial relations and, to some extent, perhaps, because of the common language. Most of our cot ton goes to our British friends and the official statistics show that the United Kingdom is practically dependant upon us for her daily meat and bread.

Brought Down n shad.

DANBURY, Conn, May 9. Stephen Monroe, who has a small farm near here, discovered strange bird hover ing over his barn. Fearing it was a chicken hawk with designs on the in habitants of his poultry yard, Monroe got his shotgun and blazed away with both barrels.

Without an organization worth the name opposed to him, Bryan really was all but beaten at Kansas City, says a writer in Leslie's Monthly. His ideas prevailed in the committee on resolutions only by majority of one vote-and that the accidentally favorable vote of Prince David of Ha- waii who did not really know how he was voting. A delegation of the anti Bryan forces came at midnight to learn his attitude toward the most im- portant blanks proposed for the plat form, and left with the impression that he was one of them. Blackburn as the spokesman for Bryan had serv- ed notice on the committee that Bryan would not accept nomination on any but straight-out free silver platform. When his turn came to vote, Senator Blackburn saw that the day was to be won or lost by most narrow margin and explaining his vote" in what was really a strong final appeal for support for his side of the question. Soon came Prince David's turn to vote. Inspired by the elo- quence he had heard the prince said "Gentlemen, I do not know much about American politics, but am sure have a safe guide in this matter. know that I can make no mistake in following the lead of the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky" If Prince David had found that he could vote the other way and say something more graceful, he would undoubtedly have done it. Yet it was his vote that de- cided the issue and put free silver in the platform, which five millions and more American citizens voted for the next November.
