The Worst to Come.

William Jennings Bryan told a
story when in this city, says the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, that would
seem to indicate the Nebraskan is
somewhat worried at the appropria-
ton by President Roosevelt of some
Of the leading doctrines of the demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Bryan good ma
turedly suggested that the republican
party might leave to the democrats
such issues as governmental owner
ship, federal regulation of the rail-
roads and radical tariff revision.
Mr.. Roosevelt's recent advanced
position in these matters" said the
7.ebraska man, reminds me Of a
s..ory told of an old colored woman
regarding her experience with an up
to-date physician. Sc had been at
tended by a colored doctor without
getting. relief from her ailment, and
decided to consult White physician.
She was somewhat mystified at the
scientific movements of the latter.
Later she was questioned by a friend
regarding the methods Of the new
doctor.
Did he take your temeprature?
size was asked.
Deed I doan kno' sab, but I spec
hc did, was the reply. so far I only
knows dat he took my watch
so far continued Mr.. Bryan,

KANSAN'S "HOLY BATH"
Emporia Man Takes Annual Icy
Plunge to Wash His Sins
Away.

Dennis Reed of Emporia, Kan,
who has the queerest religious no
tions of any man in the vicinity Of
Emporia, took his annual "holy bath"
in the Cottonwood river the other
day, says the Kansas City Star. For
years it has been his custom New
Years day to dress himself in an
angelic looking white linen garb with
folds and to parade the entire length
of Commercial street to the Cotton
wood river. After reciting certain
passages of Scripture he breaks the
ice and takes cold plunge. Then he
walks back home.
Reed says that the Lord has in
formed him that in this way his sins
are annually washed away. A large
crowd of boys, on their way home
from Sunday School, saw Reed and
followed him to the river 10 see the
religious rite.
Reed says he gets messages occa-
sionally from God. one of which in
formed him he will live thousand
years.
