Daniel Resembles Bryan

The visit of Hon. William j.
Bryan to this city, says the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch, demon
strated that he has lost little of
his popular hold on Richmond.
However hopeless his political
aspirations, if any he now enter
tains, all who came in contact with
him, agree that he is very charm
ing socially, thoroughly Democratic
and approachable, and as charm
ing a man socially as one can meet.
That he is unusually gifted as Il
etc, ready and even eloquent
public speaker, those who heard
him are ready to concede. Many
complimentary expressions have
been heard during his stay here,
and since his departure. Many
declare that whatever he may be
politically, he is great man-in
the breadth and qrickness of his
intellect, the purity of his life and
the earnestness which characterIzes
him in everything.
When Mr.. Bryan was speaking
from the stage of the Academy
Tuesday night many remarked on
his resemblance to Senator Daniel
Their heads and the way they
wear their hair are both alike, and
while speaking the similarity II
appearance was very marked
When the features were scanned
separately, the resemblance dis
appeared.
In this connection, it may be o
interest to remark that Mr.. Bryan
was asked by theological studen
who in his opinion was the great
est man in the United States, h
replied that Senator John W
Daniel is. He expressed the yer.
highest estimate of Daniel as
man, a citizen ard statesman.
Mr.. Bryan was much please
with his stay in Richmond.

NV Baby's Prayer.


When the twilight deep has fallen. then
my baby comes to me
ROBBED In white, all dressed for Dream
land, and she bends low at my knee,
And her little hands are folded In rev.
erential way.
And two little eyes look upward as two
little sweet lips say.
Now 'ay me down to s'eep
yIp'ay the Lord my soul to teep."
And know the Father listens,
And It pleases him up there.
When my baby. dressed for Dreamland.
Kneeis to say her evening prayer
There's a silence In the shadows where
the freight softly plays.
And dreamy calm comes DER me when
my baby kneels and prays.
All my doubling fancies leave me and the
trials Of earth flee
As 1 bow my head and listen to my
baby's plaintive plea,
"If g. God die before waite
pay the Lord my soul to tate"
And holy hush steals Ger me
And peryades the evening air
When my baby. dressed for Dreamland.
Kneels to say her evening prayer.
And | often sit and ponder when l hear
my baby pray, -.
What would life on earth be to me should
miss that voice some day;
II. perchance felt no nesting. dmpled
hand within my own
As my baby knelt beside me. lisping In an
undertone,
snow ay me down to s'eep.
Ipay the Lord my soul to teep.'
And I bless the God who gave her,
And her love with him / share
When my baby, dressed for Dreamland
Kneels to say her evening prayer.

COLLECTED THE BILL.
A Business Letter That Turned Out to
Be Boomerang.

Be Boomerang.
For three years Brooklyn bust
ness house had tried to collect an
undisputed bill of $50 from a law
yer, whom a Brooklyn paper calls
Baker because that is not his name.
Whenever a collector asked for the
money the lawyer would protest Wig
orously that man of his large al
fairs could not be bothered with so
small! matter as a bill Of $50.
One day the business house re-
ceived a typewriter letter from the !,
LAWYER. manifolded copies of which
had probably been sent to many
other Brooklyn business houses. 1t
was evident that he had not recog-
nized the firms name when he sent
it. The letter read in part as fol
lows:
81 take the liberty of writing
you, thinking you may have some
claims on your books that should
be collected. | undertake collec-
tons as a branch Of my business
upon the principle, NO collections
no charge Of course, | do moi
bring actions at law for nothing
neither do | sue unless authorized
| believe that collections are step
ping stones to other legal business
and give an opportunity to become
acquainted with my method of do
ing business"
The business house sent the fol
lowing answer, together with 1t
bill against The lawyer;
1--WE have at hand your favor o
the 23d inst, asking us to send yo1
some of our uncollected bills, ant
we take pleasure in sending yo1
herewith a bill which we have bee
trying to collect for long tim
without success.
'If you can do anything in TIN
matter we should be pleased to sen
you other bills for collection. Wi
you kindly let us hear from you a
vour earliest convenience :"
Possibly this did not especial
appeal to the lawyers sense of HI
NOR, but the bill was paid withou
any further delay.-Exchange.

BONE RULERS
WANT too MUCH

The question of the division of the big
precincts is occupying the attention of
the various political parties. The
Democrats and Home Rulers have de-
cided on their method of division OF
the first precinct. Fourth District, which
is not in accordance with plans being
formulated by the Republicans. The
Democrat-Home Rule plan is said to
divide the precinct so as to give these
two parties entire control of one Of the
proposed new precincts.
The same is reported of the fourth
precinct, Fourth District, where the
Democrats and Home Rulers have
drawn line which will serve their
purposes best.
A proposed division of the eighth
pre~inct, Fourth District, by the Demo-
Gratis and Home Rulers, would give one
precinct an overwhelming Republican
majority and in the other a full ma
jority for the Home Rulers.
