aeiievss Hc can BUY III

An explanation offered by Walter
Wellman, washington corresponds
ent, of Hearstss campaign, is that the
yellow peril can didate firmly be
|lieyes that he can buy the place I
the head of the Democratic ticket.
The frame of mind attributed to
Hearst is not improbable when Mr..
Wellman asserts hat the youthful
novice in politics Is a child of very
wealthy parents who bought. for him
everything that he wished for in his
adolescent days, and trained him TO
the conviction that nothing was out
of the reach of money He has APP
Piled that principle in his entire ca
reer and it has become with him
merely question of the price to be
paid for whatever he desired to ac'
quire. And yet the Hearst propa-
ganda presumes to revile the spirit of
"commsrcialism.
The estimate Is that he has al,
ready spent 81 10000 in his attempt
to grasp the bauble of nomination
that invites nothing but defeat at the
polls. That expenditure has won
for him thirty-two delegates to the
National convention. If he buys 100
more, which is the limit allowed him
by political observers. his representa-
ton at St Louis will be about one
seventh of the convention, and If he
carries them all over to the PopuliSts
in the Bryan bolt that looks highly
probable, their disappearance from
the Democracy would amount to but a
small numerical loss. 1t is the idea
that a Presidential nomination is for
sale that touches lie popular apprec1a-
ton of the absurd, although there is
no lack OF Indignation that candi-
date is willing to descend to such.
low level OF abasement. Common de-
ceucy revolts at the notion that nom
nation stands in the same class as
a house or a horse. Hearst Is pay
ing a huge price for the brass trumpet
that he will continue to blow until 1t
Is wrested from him at st. Louis, and
after that he may awaken TO the
conviction that he has been robbed py

pend to great extent upon wheth-
er it was winter or summer. Now
a glacier in order to move must
have some pressure behind it. If
it is on an incline, the expansion
is toward the point of least resist
ance, which is downward; and as
the author of our class book says,
when the glacier contracts the ice
is not strong enough to stand the
uphill pull. It cracks. The next
days heat fills these crevices
with water, which on freezing
cements the glacier into compact
mass. If glacier occupies level
ground there is no point Of least
resistance; therefore no general
movement could possibly result
from contraction and expansion,
it would simply split.
The territory north of Minneso-
ia and North Dakota is said to
have been covered at one time
by glacier. In fact it extended
below these states. This territory
is comparatively level. Here we
would have glacier moving on
level ground and strewing a vast
region with drift. The presence
of decomposed shells in this drift
leads me to believe that it is the
work of erosion rather than glaciers.
Besides it is semistratifed. What
ever view we may take of the mat
ter the fact still remains that as
the drift is composed chiefly of
boulders it must have been ex-
posed at some time or other to the
continued action of water.

Entertaining Fiction.

One advantage of reading a Sc

that an installment of convenient
length is received every day that
does not consume an undue amount
Of the readers time. An install
ment of highgrade serial story
appears in every issue of the Chi
cago Record-Herald, a popular tea
ture of that enterprising Chicago
daily. Among the successful stories
which have recently been enjoyed
by Record Herald readers are ''Sol-

Harding Davis; 'The Thrall of
Lief the Lucky by Ottilie Liljen-
cranz; "Tristram of Blent," by
Anthony Hope; "When Knight
hood Was in Flower by Charles
Major; "Alice of Old Vincennes,'
by Maurice Thompson, and ''Graus-
tark," by George B. McCutcheon.
Every issue contains also a short IL
Illustrated "human interest" story on
the editorial page. Readers of the

never-failing source of pleasant
entertainment in the noteworthy
fiction that is always to be found
