BRYAN IS FOR HEARST.
Texas VIII Oppose Both and Try to
Keep Free silver
Down.

The COW that Kicked over lamp in
Chicago years ago did not create any
more Juror In that city than Bryan
has In Texas politics by reason Of his
appeal made at the recent dollar din
ner in Nebraska to the patriotic hosts
to rally to the support Of free silver
at the st. Louis convention, says an
Austin (Tex.) special to the Chicago
Chronicle.
Texas politicians and Texas con-
gressmen in general have been nurs-
ing the fond belief that this issue was
dead one in Texas politics. Bryan
has some warm followers in Texas
and they will try and put the state
on record as favoring free silver
quite as much as an Endorsement of
him as for any other reason.
AS to what effect, II any. this will
have upon the presidential race in
that state no one at present seems in
cilned to predict. There is feeling
prevailing all over Texas that Hearst
is being backed by Bryan for presi-
Dental honors and 1t Is felt that a
free silver plank in the Texas plat
form means an instructed Hearst del.
egation to ST. Louis. Both PROPOSE
tions will be fought. The Texas con-
gressmen are not for Hearst by any
means. In fact, not single man in
the Texas delegation Is favorable to
either Hearst or Bryan and they will
be at the Texas convention fighting
tooth and toenail to keep both OF
them down. The Hearst people are
already in Texas at work among the
politicians, but with what success
cannot now be ascertained. Certain
it Is that Bryan by his Nebraska
speech has opened up the racket In
Texas much earlier than the Hearst
le expected or desired.
Every effort will be made by the
Texas congressman and the leading
politicians to send an uninstructet
delegation to st. Louis.
Bryan by his action has precipi
tated the campaign weeks earlier thar
was expected and 1t Is predicted thai
Hearst will be the chief loser thereby
as the word has gone forth that M
Is Bryan's candidate and II elected
will follow out Bryap's policies.

THE FARMHOUSE FIRE.

Outside the afterlights lucent rose
Is shifting the hills and trimming the
valleys,
And shadows are stealing across the
SHOWS
From the sombes gloom of the pine
land alleys.
Glamor of mingled night and day
Over the wide white world has sway.
And through their prlsoning azure bars,
Gaze the calm cold eyes of the early stars.
But here. in this long, low-raftered room
Where blood-red light is crouching and
leaping,
The fire that colors the heart of the gloom
The lost sunshine of old summers Is
keeping,
The wealth of forests that held In fee
Many n seasons rare alchemy,
And the glow and gladness without q
That dwell In the deeps of unstlnted
flame!
Gather we now round the opulent blaze
With the heart that loves and the face
that rejoices,
Dream we once more of the old-time days,
Listen once more to the old-time voices!
From the clutch of the cities and paths
of the sea
We have come again to our own roof-tree,
anu lOIBettlub tic loNSS VI lhe StiahbSA
lands
We yearn for the clasp of our kindred's
hands.
There are tales to tell. there are tears to
shed,
There are children's nower-faces and
women's sweet laughter
There's chair left vacant for one who Is
dead
Where the freight crimsons the an
Client rafter.
What reck we of the world that waits
With care and clamor beyond our gates,
We, with our own in this witching light,
Who keep our tryst with the past to-
night?
Fo! How the elf-fiames laugh in glee!
Closer yet let us draw together,
Holding our revel of memory
In the quilting twilight of winter
weather.
Out on the wastes the wind is chill
And the moon swings low DER the west

But old hates die and old loves burn
higher
With the wane and flash of the farm

PROVED HIS STATEMENT.
Soldier Convinced His Superior Of
hcer That He Knew What He
Was Talking About.

1t Is related of the Russian Field
Marshal Paskievitch that In the course
of the siege of varsovie, being some
what disconnected by hot fire from
a certain battery, he ordered 1t to be
shelled, but to no purpose, says the
New York Tribune. His troops did not
seem able to locate the enemy, and
their shot had no effect. Finally the
field marshal himself galloped forward
and sternly demanded:
What imbecile Is In command
here?"
81 am" answered an officer who ap-
preached.
well. captain, shall degrade you,
since you do not know your business.
Your shells have no effect"
True, sir, but 1t is not, my fault.
The shells do not ignite"
Tell that to others. Don't come
trying to fool me with such chaff. You
will receive your punishment this even
ing"
The captain coolly took shell from
pile near by, lit the fuse, and hold
ing 1t In the palms of his hands, pre-
sented 1t to the marshal, saying, "See
for yourself, SIR"
The marshal, folding his arms across
his breast, stood looking at the smok-
ing shell. 1t was solemn moment.
Both men stood motionless, awaiting
the result. Finally the fuse burned out
and the captain threw the shell to the
ground.
TITS true" remarked the marshal
turning away to consider other meas
ures to silence the enemy's fire.
In the evening. instead of punish
ment, the captain received the cross
of the order of Saint Vladimir.

TALE OF DOMESTIC
CHlVALRY.
JAMES RANDOLPH CURTIS is a

JAMES RANDOLPH CURTIS Is a
u promising young man. He works
for Smith & Eldridge, dealers in mines
of various assortments, oil wells and
stone quarries. Mr.. Smith is manager
of the firm. He likes James Randolph,
and says that If he didn't have such
an uncomfortable kind of fool for a
wife he would amount to something
some day. Mrs. Curtis does not know
that Mr.. Smith says that about her.
Neither does James Randolph know 1t,
but he suspects it. He thinks SO be-
cause, since he came back from his re-
cent trip through Pennsylvania, he
had occasion to say something like
that himself.
James Randolph toured the Keystone
state at Mr.. Smiths suggestion. There
were pending transactions of impor-
lance to be closed, and in his opinion
James Randolph was better qualified
to close them than any other man in
the Office, except Mr.. Eldridge, who,
being fiat on his back with rheuma-
tism, was obviously unable to travel.
II want you to exercise particular
tact and discretion in dealing with
those people in Scranton" said Mr..
Smith when explaining to James Ran
dolph his itinerary. 1.-THE fellow in
that bunch who really counts is Horace
Perkins. Perhaps you have heard of
Perkins?"
Heard of him?" echoed James Ran
dolph. well, / should say l have.
He married my wife's cousin Kate"
Mr.. Smith said "Ah, indeed?" in a
tone which might have reasonably
been construed as rejecting disparag-
ingly on Mr.. Perkins matrimonial
judgment; then, apparently not wish
ing to become embroiled in a discus
sion of family virtues, he resumed his
instructions on business tactics.
Perkins" he said, lis the man you
want to tie to. Keep at him inces-
sanity. II you can talk him over you
will put $250000 in the pockets OF
Smith & Eldridge, and incidentally a
small sum in the\ pockets of James
Randolph Curtis"
That proposition gave James Ran

he went home that night hanging to a
strap in an elevated car, but so buoy
ant was he that he felt as II he were
being transported bodily through bill
lows Of scented, roseate air. Judging
by his emotions he was still enveloped
in chunks of that radiant atmosphere
when he drifted into his uptown
apartment, but he probably overesti-
mated its beatific qualities. At any
rate his wife escaped its influence. In
stead of rejoicing at his fine prospects
as James Randolph had expected her
to do, she cried. James Randolph
face assumed preternatural length.

suppose you will be pretty lonesome
while am away, but you can get May

"Oh, 1t isn't that!" protested Mrs.
Curtis. I'm not thinking about my
sell. TIE thinking about you. I don't
see how you are going to get along

In the family Of the late Sir Henry
Wentworth Acland, professor at OK
ford, there was SO much talk of natural
science, particularly at table, that even
the servants theorized about 1t. In
one instance the butler gave notice

leave. What Is the trouble?" asked

LAW NO LONGER LEARNED.
President Woodrow Wilson Of Prince
ton Says Remedy for Situation
Lies in University Spirit.

Declaring that the law is no longer
the learned profession it once was,
President Woodrow Wilson, of Prince
ton university, the other night told the
Pennsylvania Bar association at it's
closing session at Cape May, N. j., that
In the university spirit applied to the
study of law lay the remedy for the
situation.
i ask you If you believe you now
belong to a learned profession?" he
said. 81 do not believe any man can
become learned lawyer merely by
reading cases. When We see students
put into laboratory to make expert
ments laid down in books I know they
are not learning chemistry. There is a
bread and butter pursuit of the law
and another possibly less remunerative
but leading to intellectual mastery.
The country must he saved from
many things by legal arrangement and
lawyers are bound in conscience and
patriotism to supply the greater part
OF the solution. You are not going
to find any precedents in law to cover
the situation in the Philippines. I am
not sure that we understand what DO
Itical liberty is, but If we can give
people institutions more suitable to
them than ours are we have given
them liberty, if not the law"

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
AMOUNT IN CIRCULATION IN
I UNITED STATES DECREASING.
Due to Good Work of the Secret Serv-
ice Department of the Govern
ment - Foreigners the
Chief Offenders.

The annual report of the operations
of the secret service division for the
fiscal year ending June 80 was made
to Secretary of the Treasury Shaw re-
Gently by Chief Wilkie Among other
things, reference is made to an effort
on the part of the division to secure
an estimate of the amount of counter
felt money in circulation in the United
States.
Thousands of letters of inquiry were
sent to banks in every city of impor-
lance in the country More than 1000
of the national banks reported that
they had not seen any counterfeit
money during the period covered by
the inquiry, January l to December 81.
1903. Fifteen hundred banks reported
a decrease in the amount they had re-
ceiyed, as compared with previous
years, and 100 reported an increase.
In order to be certain that the esti-
mates should be over rather than un-
der the actual facts, the figures were
doubled, both as to coin and notes.
Even with this liberal allowance, the
figures indicated about three dollars
in counterfeit coin for each 100000 Of
gold and silved in circulation, and a
little less than one dollar in counter
felt notes for each 100000 of paper
circulation.
There were % new counterfeits de-
scribed in the official circulars issued
by the division during the wear, but
only few of these notes fell in what
is termed the deceptive or dangerous
class. The makers and passers of Is
OF the 25 counterfeit issues were ar
rested, and in nearly every case the
plant was captured and destroyed.
The total arrests for the year were
419, and of the prisoners BOG were born
in the United States, The larges:
foreign contributor was Italy. In the
number of arrests New York led with
81.

This. it was estimated, would produce

vate their social standing by removing

Rear Admiral Charles O'Neill, q. SIN.
who was recently at Paris investigating
French armor and armament, thinks
American ships equal to any in the
world. The ministry of marine issued
him permit to visit the fleet and great
dock yards at Toulon. He also visited
the northern fleet and dock yards at
Cherbourg and Havre. After leaving
France Admiral O'Neill will visit Ger
man naval ports. The admiral said:
Speaking generally, my observations
lead to the conclusion that the armor
and armament of American ships are
equal to OF superior to those of the best
foreign fleets. Some claim that the Euro
reans have superior heavy rapid fire
guns. My inquiry also shows that our
rapid fire guns do not suffer in compar-
Zion with the best foreign types"
