The German on his native heath has
some peculiar notions about wdt and
humor, some of them being droll and
others areary. A tourist with his bride
asked driver IL there was anything
remarkable about the mountain they
were ascending, and he answered:
mo, nothing peculiar about the hill
itself, but there is queer story con-
nected with It."
Please give US the legend"

and gentleman went up this mountain
together, and hundreds of people saw
them go higher and higher until they
disappeared, and they never came

Democratic Politics.

While it is undoubtedly true that
the Democratic managers will make
strenuous efforts to combine the
different elements of opposition to
the Republican party into single
compact organization for the ap-
preaching Presidential campaign, it
now looks as though they have a
difficult task before them. AT the
meeting of the Democratic national
committee recently held in Wash
ington for the purpose of deciding
upon the time and place for holding
the Presidential nominating conven-
ton, w. j. Bryan was given the
cold shoulder in SO emphatic a man
mer that he made note of the fact.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Bryan, while stumping Ohio last
fall, in the interest of the Democratic
ticket, made such marked conces-
sions to the gold bugs as to seriously
impair his standing as free silver
apostle. These concessions, how
ever, secured for him no recognition
at the hands of the Democratic ma
tional committee, and in response to
the rebuff given him by the COM
mittee he has made speech in
which he advices his old-time free
silver followers to 'sstand pat' on
the free silver issue, as laid down in
the Kansas City platform. This
speech may reasonably be interpre-
ted as notice to the gold-bugs. of
the earth that Bryan and his follow
ers will be very much in evidence at
the St. Louis convention, and has
done much to regain for him the
confidence of the free silver people.
William r. Hearst was also turn
