If il be true as is very generally
conceded by the public, that Roosevelt
is half Democrat, and it is to that he
owes his popularity. does it not follow
as logical sequence that Bryan. being
a whole Democrat. should possess the
same quality for enhancing his popu-
larity in . corresponding larger degree,
especially when the former is handi.
capped with quasi infraction OF the
anti-third.term traditionf To dispute
this fact is to argue against reason. To
deny its force is about as silly as the
act of the bird that hides it's own head
in the sand to obscure the sight Of its
pursuers.

THE first colt born in Alaska was
lately brought down to civilization
from the Tsnana district. 1t is nota-
BILE from the fact that it was reared on
condensed milk and fodder costing Is
cents pound, on bet that its owner
could not raise it. 1t cost him $40, 600,
but he won the bet. The colt does not
understand English and "Geddapp
has no meaning to him, but /" Hyack,"
Klatswah," OF the classic Chinook,
or "Mush it" of the local vernacular,
makes him prance along gaily.

Tho Tanner East Outdone.

Arthur Norden, of Rock Island, last
Sunday, completed fast which excels
all others, OF fifty.tive days, to effect
cure OF indigestion, which to all ap-
pearances has been successful. Nor
den, who is 2G years of age, bad been
afflicted for several years with chronic
indigestion. He declares he is cured
Sunday he ate two light meals and
appeared to be in fairly good condition,
though very week and thin. He had
lost 26 pounds during the period OF alb.
stinence. His only sustensnce during
the fast consisted Of two glasses of wa
ter, with lemon juice, a spoonful Of
honey and small amount Of olive oil
each day.
The most noted period OF abstinence
from food CT which full record was
kept was of DR.. Henry S. Tanner in
1850, who tasted forty days in New
York, under the supervision of the
Neurological Society of New York.
Neurology is branch OF scientific re.
search dealing with the nerves. DR..
Tanner began his fast on June 2Sth,
at noon, and finished it Aug. 7th. The
physical changes observable from this
ordeal were that his eyes became
dimmed, the top of his head which
had been thinly covered with grey
hair became white as milk, and he lost
III pounds in weight. He drank 80
ounces of water the first two days, in
drafts of from six to eight ounces each,
after which. in place OF drinking, he
simply gargled his mouth about once
an hour. He spent most OF his time
in reclining or sitting. At bedtime
he took sponge.bath and was rubbed
down with coarse towels.
In 1888. John Zachar, residing near
Racine, Wis, is said to have gone
without food for So days, the longest
fast known till now, but it is not sub.
stantiated by carefully kept record.
1t is said that his weight was reduced
from 16O to 80 pounds by the test.
Mollie Fancher, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
in 1880, made the claim that she had
lived fourteen years without food, but
there is doubtless some "catch" in
the way the statement is made. It
served to arouse enough interest to
secure the Tanner test, of 40 days en-.
durance without food, and as neither
he nor Worden had expended all their
vitality in the records made, it is still
a matter OF doubt how long a human
being may be able to subsist without
food, under, of course, favorable condi-
tions in all other respects, such as
plentiful supplies Of water, air, oxygen,
and all the promoters of mental and
physical comfort, such as undisturbed
slumber and restful conditions. These
would doubtless tend to prolong the
wear of bodily tissues and organs of
vitality in the unnatural ordeal to
which they were being subjected.

CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY LAW In.
TERFEREs.-It really seems that you
do not have to 60 to Utah to find
polygamy, nor for women who advo.
cate the plural relation. and are con-
tent with fraction OF = man. A case
in court at Madison, Wis, last week
presents the queer relations of a fam
lily composed of two women, two
children and man, living together in
domestic tranquility. One of the
women entertains in the parlor and
manages the costs and expenditures,
while the other is mistress of the
kitchen and her word is law so far 40
the menu is concerned. The husband
is an insurance solicitor and custodian
OF the buildings of the University Of
Wisconsin. Their appearance in court
is not of their own suggestion, by any
means, and oil concerned contend
that their domestic arrangements are
satisfactory and they cannot see why
others should interfere in . matter
which they insist does not concern
them. The judge of the Municipal
court said that his only course was to
remand the husband to Jail, pending
further investigation, and both wo.
men asked to be locked up with him.
They are both young and attractive
in appearance.

dog were likewise dining. 1t was
