Mr.. Bryan's Position.

81 want to make my position perfectly
clear: want 10 say to you that not only
am pot announcing a candidacy, but L
am not permitting a candidacy" In
these words William Jennings Bryan ad-
minister d check to the enthusiasm
which, al the Jefferson Club banquet in
Chicago given last night in Mr.. Bryao's
honor, greeted the speeches advocating
his nomination for the third time for
President
There had been warm words of praise
for Mr.. Bryan, particularly from former
Congressman Ollie NJ. James, of Ken
lucky, and Judge James B. Tarvin, OF
Covington, Kentucky, who had declared
unqualifedly for Mr.. Bryan as the
democratic nominee for President in
1908. and from Alexander Throup, of
New Haven, Conn, who declared that
Bryan was the natural and legitimate
leader of the democratic party in the
coming campaign.
When Mr.. Bryan, who came last on
the programme, rose to respond to the
toast, Democracy VS.. Capitalization"
he deferred for few moments entering
upon his formal address until he had re-
turned thanks for the words of praise
showered upon him by the speakers who
preceded him, and until be had set him
self right upon the question of possible
candidacy for the presidency.
II am not now," said Mr.. Bryan, "a
candidate for any Office. | have never
said that | would never again be can
didate for Office, but | want to say now
that talk of candidacy for Office does not
affect me as it once die"
Mr.. Bryan will soon leave for tour
of the world.

Mr.. Richard Mansfeld's many friends
will be surprise TO learn that the we'll
known actor is just recovering from the
effects of two delicate and serious surgical
operations.
The first, which was performed three
weeks ago by DR.. Norris, Of New Lon
don, Conn, and two prominent surgeons
of New York, it is stated, failed TO fully
relieve Mr.. Mansfield, and another was
decided on last Wednesday when the
actor underwent trying ordeal at the
hands of the surgeons who were called
to his New London home to operate the
second time.
For several years Mr.. Mansfield has
been sufferer from nervousness brought
on by agrave intestinal disorder that grew
steadily worse.
Mansfield underwent both operations
with great fortitude. The latter was en-
tirely successful and at his home in New
London Monday it was said the star felt
better than he had in years. His con-
dition was 50 greatly improved, it was
announced, tha, he would go to New York
next Monday and begin rehearsals on the
stage ofthe New Amsterdam Threatre of
Schiller's "Don Carlos" which he will
present for the first time in English on

Priests Threatened.

Serious developments have arisen in
connection with the death of Gen. Prince
Amilakhovri, formerly governor general
af Baku, whose body is now lying in a
house in the vicinity of Tihis. The
prince was regarded with bitter hatred
owing to the harsh measures which be
adopted when he was sent on a spe-
cial mission to pacify the Caucasus, and
the revolutionaries threaten the local
priests with death if they attempt to offer
prayers over the body. No one dare
approach the house. Troops have been
dispatched to bring the remains to Titis,
and it is feared that there will be disor-
ders at the funeral.

by parasites destroying the vitality in

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 2l.-Mrs.

Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy

sizes her recommendation by the follow
ing experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November, and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass off. In a month she would
have the spells again. At these times
she. would eat very little, and was very
yellow, even the whites of her eyes would
be yellow.
''Thc doctors gave us no encourage.
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd )
Kidney Pills. she has not had one bad
SPELL OF course, we Icontln led the treat:
ment until she had used in all about a
dozen boxes, and we still give them to
her occasionally. when she is not feeling
well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly
the best medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and sick
ness and ensure healthy, happy future
for them.

NO BARGAIN GAYS THERE.
For the Rearon That Everybody

water that they originally came. They
have certainly all the Duckwater char
acte-istlcs.
What, you have never heard of Duck
watery Well, then. here is an illustration
for you of the character of the town.
"A drummer went to Duckwater ons
winter, and to the leading merchant in
an effort to sell a line OF cotton goods,
he said:
These goods, sir, would make tempt
ing line for a bargain day
"'A bargain day? s1d the merchant.
We have no bargain days in Duckwater,
sir
"'No bargain days in Duckwater? Why
is that? asked the drummer, quite amazed.
Because, replied the merchant IL
we had bargain days here, nobody would
buy anything on the other days. sir.

NO HERO.

The fact that football with Its bumps,
And mud and groans and strife.
And broken legs and collar bones.
Ne'er came into my life
Has been lasting wild regret;
l never mussed my clothes
Or lay with nose pressed In the mud
Benr&th eleven foes!
] saw a man the other day
Make what they cali a goal"
Though what they left OF his poor shape
Could hardly hold his soul:
He spat out teeth the while the cheers
Near deafened with their din,
Ard blood and mud were running down
And dripping from his chin!
One eye was shut. one ear was torn,
One stocking was pulled down.
His shin was bleeding, he was bruised
From toe to shaggy crown;
His nose was broke, his cheek was swelled
Yet you should hear them cheer
And next to me dainty miss
Sighed "Isn't he a dear!'
I'll never as a hero pose,
They never played football
When l was young ard full of sand;
Nay, knew II not at all:
And so weep! never knew
It's mud and groans ard strife.
And still, that have never played
Has doubtless saved my life.

CORN BREAD IN AMERICA.
Not So Common an Article of Food
Nowadays as It Was Fifty
Years Ago.

Our exports of corn to European
countries have risen from 100000
bushels in 1888 to about 800 ,000, 900
bushels at the present time, and to-day
Belgium at least is using more Indian
corn per capita as food than the United
States, in which it is a great native
cereal, says the Birmingham Age
Herald In Belgium the bakeries put
about 25 per cent. of corn flour in the
bread they make, and such bread is read
lily sold lower than wheat or rye loaves.
1t Is considered more nutritious ana
more easily digestible. In Germany the
favorite loaf consists of one-thlrd corn
and two-thirds rye, and a five-pound
loaf thus made is sold at saving OF
about 25 per cent.
The change in the European bread
supply was started by G. ]. Murphy, who
was sent abroad as commissioner. by
the department of agriculture. He be-
gan the propaganda in 1888, and he
maintained ii until the use Of corn as
food was we'll started and even estab-
lished, and to-day Europeans are more
familiar with corn bread than Amer
leans themselves. Mr.. Murphy asserts
that both in Belgium and Ireland the
per capita consumption OF corn as hu-
man food Is higher than 1t Is in the
United States. The value Of the In
dian corn as food is not appreciated In
this country. Years ago children
thriyed and grew Strong through the
consumption of johnny cake, ash cake.
hominy and pudding, but in recent
years cornmeal has fallen into COM
parative disuse, although 1t is cheaper,
more wholesome and more digestible
than wheat flour. The preparation of
corn for the table can be more varied
tl.an that of wheat, and yet for some
reason Indian corn Is not freely used.
Mr.. Murphy says the consumption OF
American corn in crowded Belgium is
higher than 1t is in this country. II is
difficult to account for the dislike OF this
country for corn in its various forms.
We grow 1t, and we should not look
with an unfavorable eye on our own
excellent and abundant product.
The subject deserves careful attention,
with view to reinstatement OF Amer
lean corn to the place 1t held on the
tables of our ancestors. Corn was not
a rejected article of food century ago.
and It was freely used as late as 50
years ago. We may have progressed
backward in this matter. Mr.. Murphy
thinks we have.

After we had marched about three

noble grand and the senior warden, and
the exalted ruler, we came to bronze

king. I expected to see a king as big
as Long John Wentworth. of Chicago
a great big fellow that could take a small
man by the collar and throw him over a
house, and felt hurt at the small size
of the king of Great Britain, but. gosh, he
is just like Yankee, when you get the
formality shook Off.
We bowed and dad made courtesy
like an old woman. and the king came
forward with smile that ought to be
initiated by every Engishman. They
all initiate his clothes and his hats and
his shoes. but he seems o be the only
Englishman that smiles. May be it is
patented. and nobody has right to smile
without paying royalty, but the good
natured smile of King Edward is worth
more than stomach bitters, and the Eng
