The Commoner relates with great
glee one incident that befell him in
Japan. He went to one Of then tenn
Piles in Toxic to see the shrines OF
some of Japan's departed statesmen
It was at Shiba Park, where the
most beautiful of the Tokugawa
temples are located.
This was the first japanese temple
that Mr.. Bryan had ever visited. He
was accompanied by several dignita-
ries Of the municipality Of Toxic,
who had come to act as an escort of
honor.
At the temple door the Japanese
gentlemen began TO remove their
shoes, according to an unalterable
custom Mr.. Bryan took off his OK
ford ties and was Mortified to find
that the most Of his great toe and
part of his second toe Of one of his
feet were protruding boldly from his
his sock. There was no help for
it: the great American statesman
with his guard of honor had to pat
ter over the bronze floors Of the
shrines at Shiba with two toes ex-
posed. 70.

AMERICANS AND CHEESE.

The cloth used puts a peculiar prin

However this may be, this county
is successfully making cheeses which
were once made only in certain Euro

is the Swiss cheese called SchweitZer

the French, an excellent brand o.
which is made in Ohio.

BENGAL TIGER KILLS PYTHON.

Battle In the Storm on Deck of Steam
ship.
Any one who has not seen the
biggest python ever brought 10 this
country can find this snake on board
the steamship Indrasamba, which
arrived here yesterday from Yoko-
hama, Singapore and other ports
east of SueZ.
Capt Wilkes. master, says the
snake is twenty-seven feet long and
three feet in circumference. No one
took the trouble to measure him
yesterday, but he looks every inch
Of the size the captain gave.
There were four other big pythons
when the Indrasamba sailed from
Singapore on July 19, besides a royal
Bengal tiger that was the champion
maneater in those parts before he
was captured and sold. He looks
still as if his appetite might be good
if he only had a chance to spread
himself.
If il hadn't been for the tiger the
five pythons would have arrived here
intact. The tiger killed one of them
last Sunday attire a terrific battle.
Each of the pythons were in a
separate box on the main deck amid
ships, and the tiger was in his cage
not far away. Last Sunday the In
drasamba ran hurricane. 1t wasn't
an everyday affair by any means.
but one of those that sailors tell
about for years afterward, the kind
where the seas tower mountain high
on the weather bow and turn the
decks into a regular Niagara when
they break and spill their tons of
green water on the quivering fabric

to the sea: the kind that sweep aft
carrying everything movable before
them and end up by going overheard

Anyway it was blowing some and
the seas did come aboard. There
was one particularly tall gray head
kicked up old Nick. The sea hit the
box of one of the pythons and the
box turned over. The weight or the
python did the rest, and before any
one knew Just what had happened
there was some twenty feet of snake
at liberty.
Now, the python didn't seem to
know just what to do under the
waves coming along, and while per-
haps he did not have hydrophobla'
he was avcrSe To Il wetting. The
nearest place of safety seemed to be
the tigers cage. and the pythoh
made for that. OF course ther" were
members of the crew VII" could
have told him. but the crew was busy
doing other things just at that time.
There are always things a we'll or

BRYAN THE STORY TELLER.
Anecdotes He introduced Into His
Speeches or Tells His Friends.

William Jennings Bryan Is a good
story teller. Besides punctuating his
speeches with homely anecdotes he
enlivens his conversation by recount
ing stories possessed Of the merit Of

Mr.. Bryan's stories fall into two
classes: Those he has gained at
home and recent acquisitions from
foreign sources which he carefully
stored away for future reference
during his trip around the globe.
The anecdotes that smack of the red
soil of Nebraska are the best for pO-

A Talking Dog.

A vaudeville ventriloquist who had
q worthless dog and no money, hit upon
a clever scheme to convert the former
into the latter. Going into a restau-
RAM he took a seat, the dog sitting on
the floor beside the chair. When the
waiter came the ventriloquist turned
to the dog with the query: well Jack,
what Will you have?" The waiter
nearly collapsed when he apparently
heard the dog answer GA roast-beef
sandwich" Then he fastened to the
proprietor. Say" he exclaimed, wild
", there's a dog over there that can
talk" 1t Immediately struck the pro-
prietor that such a dog could draw
custom, so, after hearing the animal
talk" he began bargaining for him.
The dog, during the haggling over the
price, begged in SO realistic manner
not to be sold that the restaurant man
became the more determined to have
him, and at last agreed to the ventrilo-
quist's price-one hundred dollars. AS
the ventriloquist started for the door
with his money, the dog inquired:
did you really sell me?" Eyes, Jack,
l sold you" was the reply. well"
said the dog, 'just for that I'll never
speak again"

us more RAPIDLY. The situation was

us more rapidly. The situation was
growing more serious every minute.
My men were doing good work with
their rifles. 1t pleased mt to see one
man shoot a noted Sioux chief right
through the heart. The old sinner
never twitched a muscle after the lead
hit him. We never knew how many
we killed because when an Indian
is shot his comrades keep him out OF
sight. Well, we held them off for four
hours, and they were four hours OF
hot work, | can tell you. My scout
then told me that the Indians were on
three sides of us. We had one chance
left to retreat, and this chance was
fast ~lessening because fresh Indians
were coming"
Both Finerty and De Barthe relate
the story with much more elaboration
and both say that Lieutenant Sibley at
first hesitated in taking to fight even
convinced him that it meant a terrible
death to all and no good could possibly
come of it if they stayed.
Il did not like to abandon our
horses" relates Major Sibley, "but it
was that or die. So the retreat was
ordered. | inspected each man per-
sonally to see hat his equipment was
right, but owing to my ineXperiencc
and the excitement of the moment l
forgot the rations. Only one man in
the command took his rations. Only
n man in the command took his ra-
tions. 1t was an hour or so before the
Indians discovered that we had fed.
By that time we were up on the noun
tain in places SO steep that one man
had to help the other up. The horses
could not follow us. So for the time
being the Sioux would not strike us.
Grouard took a mountain trail which
we followed on foot for fifty hours
without a mouthful to eat. Such fear
fully vigorous exercise without food
nearly killed us.
Toward the end of this perilous
march we all became so weakened that
we marched for ten minutes and then
would lie down and rest. Several of
the most robust men became insane,
and one or two never regained their
wits. When we reached Crooks camp
l slept for twenty-four hours without
waking, and during that time the camp
was sharply attacked by Indians. Even
the roar of musketry did not disturb
my sleep in the least. Not a single
man was lost on the trip"
Remarking on his experience OF
plains life, Major Sibley said that it
seemed wonderful to him what re-
markable instincts the halfbreed scout
possessed. A scout had led him across
a ~trackless waste on a dark night
when the snow was falling and the
wind blowing. The horses were con-
tinually drifting to windward to get
their faces away from the cutting
blast.
There was not a landmark to guide
the scout. Yet in the face Of all these
difficulties the scout would lead the
troopers, after marching all night, to
the exact spot from which they started.

which are not leaf-cutters. They are
little bigger than grains of rice. but
much that they did was very interest
ing. For instance, when the hole was
finished and stored, the bee closed it
yer with a film something like that
which a : spider spins. She then
brought, one by one, little crystalline
pebbles, which she glued, to the num-
Der of about six, in the middle of the
film, and Just over the hole. l can
only imagone that this is done in Or
