west, where the sun is sinking into a sea
Of crimson light. Not a breath Of air is

the culver Of leaf There is a buzz of
insect life In the air, mingled with the
music OF the birds, Upon a lawn, over
which is scattered numerous flower beds,
gay with bright colored blossoms, stretch

with roses, sit three men. One is young,
not more than twenty; the second is a
stout, florid, benevolent looking man;
the third Ia thin-visaged, sad-looking,

 It is not of record that Beauchamp has ever had. any serious acidents as yet, and it is Of course to be hoped that he will not, but if he ever does have bad fall it will probably have the effect of checking his impetuousity for some time to come, if not perman- ently.
 In 1896 or 1897 Marty 9Bergen was riding on the California tracks and was the proud possessor of a beast nam ed Pecksnif. Pecksniff never amount ed to anything even with Marty rid ing. and he was far from bad rider then, although of later years his star has become somewhat dimmed. One day friend of Bergen's jocularly re- marked that he thought Pecksniff might win a race if Martin would give the mount to somebody who could ride,' as he expressed it. Pergen took the chaffing in good part, and the mat ter dropped for at least half and hour. suddenly he reverted to the subject again in the following language:
 There was time," said he, when Ia space between the rail and the horse in front of me looked as big as the side of house, no matter if it was only two feet. Nowadays it looks like two feet to me if it's as big as the side of a house, and there you are'
 And that is perhaps as good an ex- pianation as could be given of why some boys lose their form and drop from the star class down into the rank CT the mediocres. In Bergen's case it was simply that he had grown older and that with years had come a disin- cllnation to take his life in his hands. There was time when he would have done 1t, but that was when he was men ne was coming, not going. Sue cess sometimes brings reflection on the methods of it's achievement, even on the part of others; years bring wisdom, and many things beget indifference; all of which conduce to the start for the has been'' class; but if there is anything which will make a surer and more artistic job of it than af all which keeps boy out of the saddle TOT couple of weeks, it remains. in the opinion of vast numbers of people Who ought to know, yet to be discover ed.-NeW York Sun.

many persons used to go up to the Polo Grounds to see Johnny Ward play. Ward was of the quiet, thinking type, but had a way. with him. Buck Ewing was another oId-timer whose presence on the field was greatly relished by the cracks. Not only was he a finished catcher, hard hitteI and fine runner, but he had a winning personality.

NEW DEMOCRATIC SCHEME.
Contemplating Move to Put the Re
publicans in an Embarrass-
ing Position.

Several OF the prominent railroad at
torneys, general counsel for the big
trunk lines, who have been in Washing
on prospective anti-railway legislation.
have left the city and returned to their
homes, confident that there will be no
legislation at this session of congress in
imical to railway interests, says Wash
ington exchange. The fact that the
house of representatives will pass rail-
way rate bill does not cause uneasiness.
and these attorneys who have made 1t
their business to look into the situation
have concluded that there will be no
legislation that will hurt.
The democrats Of the senate are con-
templating a move to put the republic
cans in an embarrassing. position. Eff
forts are now under way to secure, il
possible, agreement among the demo-
Gratis upon railway bill If 1t comes over
from the house, with an invitation TO the
administration senators to join them in
a proposition to put the bill through.
Some democratic senator's who have
been looking into the situation say that
there is possibility Of securing enough
votes from western republicans who arc
in favor of railway rate legislation to
make majority of the senate If the sol
Id democratic vote could be polled. In
that event the spectacle would be pre-
scented of the president of the United
States and small portion of his party
in the senate, backed by the unanimous
democratic vote, standing for rate legis-
lation which was denied by majority
of the republicans of the senate. The
democrats say this would be an object
lesson to the country that relief must be
obtained through democrats.
One fault in this plan Is that the demo-
Gratis of the house intend to oppose the
pending republican bill for the -regula-
ton of railway rates. They will offer the
Davey bill, which was Endorsed by the
democratic caucus, as a substitute, and
will be voted down. The scheme of the
democratic senators is to take the bill
that comes over from the house, which
will be the measure reported by the re-
publicans Of the house committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce.

He gave his left hand to his caller, while
holding up his trousers with the other,
and asked, dryly and seriously:

PLATFORM BY MR.. BRYAN.
Made Up Of . Little Of Anything
Good Enough to
Stand On.

William j. Bryan 10 still busy formu-
lating platform for his party, or reiter-
atiag the planks Of his own, with the air
of one who would dictate his party's
platform, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Mr. Bryan adheres to his position that
while "the principles Of bimetallism re-
main true" the need of that ism is mot
SO crying" now as 1t was because of the
immense increase in the production OF
gold. This implies that the need Is still
crying and therefore not to be omitted
from the democratic platform.
Asked whether he was socialist. he
answered for the democratic party as
who should say: "The democratic party?
1t is l." or Il am It, He said: "The dem
ocratic party believes In some measures
the socialists believe in. That does not
make 1t socialisuc. 1t believes with the
populists on some points, but 1t is not
therefore populistic. We are said to be
now In accord with the republicans In
few matters, but we can't be accused Of
being republicans.
So Mr.. Bryan-or the democratic par
ty. which is the same thing-is a sort OF
basket picnic party-a little Of every
thing cold and not much Of anything
good. 1t is a party OF scraps and odds
and ends picked up as they come and
without consistency or coherency.
Good advice to the republican party
would be to beware of the few matters
with which the democrats ARE said to be
now In accord" Anything that the Bry-
an democracy Is in accord with is to be
regarded with suspicion and handled
with tongs.
For instance, there Is the proposed
railroad legislation. Mr.. Bryan is in
accord with that and urges his followers
in congress to vote for 1t II necessary in
order to secure its enactment. We may
learn the reason from his statement that
he believed the unfair determinations
and rebates could never be cured except
by public ownership. A measure which
in Mr.. Bryans opinion would lead up to
that consummation Of state socialism
may well be turned over by a republican
congress to an expert In Internal ma

wounded at the Marcus Kohn factory
in LODI, Poland. A collision occurred
between $4,000 strikers and the mill

and 40 wounded.

school boys publicly destroyed a por-
trait OF the emperor Troops dis
persed them with volley.

that he has plans for peoples assembly
which will be made public soon.
Soisalon Soinenen. procurator general
OF Finland, was assassinated In his home
in Helsingfors by young man who ID
believed to have been actuated by poiit-
cal motives. The officials son was
wounded In a duel which followed, and
the slayer was injured and captured. HIS
act Is regarded In st. Petersburg as Sig
mailing the dawn of renewal OF terror
ism.
Father Gopon, the leader of the work.
men Of st. Petersburg In the affair of
January 20, Is now known to be in Swift
erland.
Absolute secrecy is still maintained re-
garding the exact nature OF the charge
against Gorky, but II is believed that it
is an alleged attempt to induce troops TO
mutiny and to stir up a revolt of work
men. It is practically certain that the
charges against him do not involve the
death penalty.
