COL. BRYAN PANIED
Finds Corruption Among Democrats.
Says Democratic Party Will Not
Be ReorpanzeG at ST. Louis.

CHICAGO, Ill, May 24.--WilliaIn
Jennings Bryan said while i'll Chicago
that he thought the Democratic party
would not he rcorganized at the ST..
Louis convention.
"The plan to bring about a reorgan-
ization of the party viii be defeated, 7
he said. ",rhe paramount Issue IN the
campaign will be government by the
people as against government by the
corporations. The people will control
the ST. Louis convention and the Kan
sas City platform will be reafhrmeti,
in my Judgment.
THE Hill-Parker, or so-called reor-
ganization, wing of the Democrats
party will not be able to organize the
national convention.
II cannot prognosticate which parry
will win next fall" said Mr.. Bryan. Il
cannot tell which party will win foGl
years from now, but can say that
the party that cultivates the highes'
ideals during the next rs years will
in the end dominate in the govern
ment Of the country. There Is
abroad in the land general lowering
Of ideals.
II found the rankest corruption rife
in the politics of Delaware. New Jcr-
sey, Maryland and Virginia. MT
Bryan is also quoted as saying: az
panied me to find that Democrats az
Wen as Republicans were corrupt
do you expect to go to St. Louis
rs a delegate?" was asked
"Weli, it looks that way now, though,
/ cant be sure was the reply
Mr.. Bryan said his visit had l5 no p t'ss
litical significance. Several politicians

House and more failed to meet him

CANINE MEMORY.
The story of n Pet Bull Terrier That
Did Not Forget.

Did Not Forget.
4 gentleman who is Il great traveller
and who is always accompanied in his
wanderings by bull terrier to which
he is much attached, arrived one day
in the city of Florence. His dog WAS
for some reason intruSted to the care
of the porter at the station, and in the
excitement of the crowd and under the
unusual experience of being separated
from his master. who generally Kept
the animal with him, Bruno was
moved to make his escape. The most
careful search was made, and before
going to his hotel the traveller went to
the police station to notify the gen
darmeS of his loss. 1t WAS more than
an hour before he reached his hotel.
When he got there he spoke of his loss,
so that if anything was heard of the dog
1t would be understood that the animal
belonged to him. To hi: establishment
the porter said: "But your dog is here,
sir. He came before You, ard we did
not know to whom he belonged" The
dog Is hcrew repeated the gentleman
in surprise. How came he here"
He ran in, sir, about half an hour ago.
and, after shutting about the Office for
awhile, he ran upstairs. ! gave orders
to have him driven out, but the boys
have been busy, and he is up there
somewhere now" The traveller, of
course. went upstairs at once, and
there on the mat before the chamber
numbered IA lay Bruno, who sprang
up with the most frantic demonstra-
tons of delight at finding his master
again. The gentleman remembered
that two years previous he had been
with the dog at Florence and had stay
ed at this hotel. He did not remember
that he had occupied this particular
room, but on reference to the hotel reg
lister such was found to be the fact.

Trees and plants have their regular
times for going TO sleep. They need
to rest from the work of growing and
to repair and oil the machinery of life.
Some plants do all their sleeping in
the winter while the ground is frozen
and the limbs are bare of leaves. In
tropical countries where the snow new
or falls and it is always growing
weather the trees rcpoSe during the
rainy season or during the periods Of

night, when he cannot sec to work.
