They say that figures don't lie, but
place Secretary Shaw IN charge Of one
column and ex-Secretary Hoke Smith
in charge of another and the answers
do very much differ. Two and two

one man and vastly different thing

Only once in four years have we had
the privilege ofsaying who shall be the
Chief Executive Of our country, and
surely we will not allow the opportun-

they have no such privilege, and the
wonder is that they don't fight for it.

Democratic prospects have greatly
frightened within the last ten days.
With ten other such days to follow and
we will be barking in the noontide

when this has been accomplished we

Bryan has contributed full share to the
GOOD results.

been fearing Mr.. Bryan having richer

their shameful conduct. BY common

OF any man in the field.

form shown in the drawing, turning
up the overlapping half of the top
cover and cutting a large round hole
In the other half, which fits over the
half box.
Now set a candle in the half box

are ready to perform the trick.
Announce to your audience that you
will cause the candle to relight itself

behind the box, which should be set
upon a table, and tell the spectators
to watch the candle very closely.
Suddenly a flame is seen to creep
down the wreath of smoke which is
ascending from the long candle SNUFF
UP through the hole in the box lid.
The fire quickly reaches the candle

The secret of the trick is very sim

At the proper time you bring the

TO HAVE COED PHOTOGRAPH
Worth While to Study Your Face Be-

A curious fact relative to a wom-
ans personality is that the two sides
OF her face are not in accord one
with the other. In other words. every
woman has two faces, and one shows
certain characteristics which the 9th.
er does not. and each contradicts the
other.
Tho left side is nearly always the
prettier although it would take a very
keen eye to discern any difference.
but 1t is worth while to remember
this when posing for ones photo.

The moral of this Is obvious. The
left side of the face showing t3 far
better advantage than the right. ut is
every ones duty to keep the good side
turned toward an observer.
Often times the prettiest woman
takes a bad photograph, while a plain
woman with regular features takes
a good one. So study yourself in
glass before you sit for your photo.

Water Runs up che lam.

IL Is easy enough to make water
flow up hill IL you know how. Here
is a simple way of doing 1t and at the
same time performing another feat
equally surprising.
It is a simple matter to empty
bottle with the aid of a tumhler but
to empty tumbler filled to the brim
with the aid of bottle would seem
to be impossible. If it does not seem
so to you, try 1t. but remember that
you are not allowed to use an empty
bottle. The bottle must be full at the
start and must remain full through
out the operation and after 1t.
These hard conditions, which ap-
parently render the task all the more
difficult, are really what make 1t pos
sible.
The bottle is filed with water to
the top of the neck and corked with
a cork bored with two hoes to which
glass tubes or stout straws have been
fitted.
Straight pieces of macaroni will do
for tubes. by the way.
The insertion of the cork into the

tubes and perhaps cause It to over
flow from the short one. If 1t does
not, pour water into the long tube UNI
til 1t flows out of the shorter one,
then close the latter with the finger
or a bit of wax and continue pouring
until the long tube is filled also.
Now, II you invert the bottle. keep
Ing the shor. tube closed. the pres
sure of the air will prevent the water
running out of the long tube,
Plunge the short tube into the full

as in the illustration, and remove the
finger or wax, as the case may be. At
once water flows from the long tube
and at the same time water is sucked
from the tumbler up hill into the bot
tie through the short tube. The bot
tie and tube. you see. make a siphon
and the uphill Sow goes on until the
tumbler is emptied, II the short tube
is long enough to reach the bottom
Of II.
The instant the tumbler is empty

by pasting it on piece of stiff, white
cardboard so that the edges of the
white cardboard project some inches
beyond the outside of the picture.
Now take a piece of chalk and
powder it very carefully till it is as
fine as dust. Now spread this pow
dered chalk all over the picture till
it is completely covered, and so thick
ly that it does not show through any
where, but presents a clear, white
surface. Get an easel on which to
stand your picture, some paint
brushes and a painters palette, on
which are some various colored
paints, all hard and dry, so that they
will not stain anything, and you are
ready for the trick.
Do not let your friends come too
near the easel. but seat them at the
other end of the room. On the ledge
of the easel on which your picture
rests must be small glass of water.
Dip your brush in this, pretend to mix
the paints on your palette and begin
to make brush strokes on the picture.
The moistened brush will bring away
the white covering of chalk and as
you continue to make strokes with
your brush. the picture will appear,
looking exactly as if you were paint.

In very few minutes the chalk
will be entirely gone and the complete
picture will stand forth for your
friends TO gaze at and admire.
They will all agree that you have
broken all records for rapid-fire art
and will wonder how you did it and
where you learned to paint.

CASTLE soap is one-half glycerine to
one of soap suds.
The pipes from which bubbles are
to be blown improve with use, and If
they do not make good bubbles at first
it is because they are not well broken
in.
The longer the pipe-stem the larger
the bubble that can be blown without
danger of breaking It. This is be.
cause the current of air is lighter
through long stem.
Each guest at a bubble party may
have a separate dish of suds or all
may dip from the same bowl. When
all have bubble dishes or bubble
bowls, a game of progressive bubbles
may be played, the score cards be-
Ing marked with the record of those
who blow the biggest bubbles in each
round.
Another game that makes great
sport is to have regular bubble fight,
the two sides ranging at either end
Of long table and blowing their bub-
bles toward each other. When the
opposing bubbles meet there is an
explosion and one or both OF the soap
balloons disappear in thin air. Every
bubble from the opposing side that
crosses to the opposite end of the ia
BILE counts a score for the side blow
ing 1t at first. The rules of the game
allow the players TO blow back the
bubbles of the enemy when they can.

Did you ever attend a soap-bubble
party? There is amusement for In
doors or outdoors in holding one.
There are many ways Of competing
with bubbles to show the skill OF the
blower.
A bubble race is one of the most
exciting. The contestants in a bubble
race blow their racers up, then start
ing at a mark, pun them TO a goal
set at the end of long table. To
make the attempt to puff a bubble
from the mark to the goal more ex-
citing obstacles are placed like hurdles
at intervals, and each contestant In
the race must blow his bubbles by
the obstacles and 10 the goal without
bursting them in order to get place.
To make bubbles that will be
strong enough to race one must have
a fine brand OF suds which may be
prepared in the following manner:
Get some white CASTLE soap to be-
gin with. Then combine one part, by
weight. Of soap to eight parts. by

three weeks ago. In the articles of incor-
poration Frederick w. Zeile, president
of the Mercantile Trust Company, and
other officials of that corporation were
mentioned as the directors of the new
concern, but beyond that information
those gentlemen declined to furnish
anything further regarding the COM
pany.
The latest report, however, is that
the Mercantile Trust Company is sim
ply acting as the agent of Buffers, who
is representing the well-known New
York and London firm Of Werner, Belt
& Co. in the railroad enterprise. AL
though Buffers. who is heavily inter-
ested in Oakland real estate and has
great faith in the future of that city,
declines to make any statement regard
ing his connection with the Oakland
and Marysville Railroad Company, it
was said on authority yesterday that
he had been working on the railroad
project for a year and had finally got
Werner, Belt & Co. interested with
him.
Buffers has been identified with Wer-
ner, Belt & Co. in number of SINH
lar undertakings, notably the purchase
and consolidation of the electric lines
in the City Of Mexico and the tram
