OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING. AUG 3 1906
THE OLD COUNTY PAPER.

How dear to my heart is the town of my
Tie drowsy old village SO quantity I'M
! couih,
WAS wild would,
| And knew all the fun that is common to
youth.
| Its fond rccollections so strangely anus
I'll never forget though l sadly may
They come back refreshed every time I'm
perusing
That old county paper they send me
from home.
1t is always the same there's nothing to
change it,
And woe to the budding young journal.
ist who
Its pages would dare to despoil, and ar.
To make it appear more refreshingly
new.
The town never alters-the years that roll
Ger it
Are all quite alike as the tooth of a
comb
So happily find as each week explore
it.
Through the old county paper they send
me from home.
The quiet old paper. the plain-plodding
paper.
The. old weekly paper they send me
from home.
Inthe same Old-time columns are births"
deaths" and " weddings"
And the General News" cleaned from
far and near,
| know where to look for the never
changed headings
And the mercantile ads that are run
by the year.
There's a verse by the bard W hO will 90 on
ascending
The temple of Fame till he reaches the
dome.
And the serial story. that runs without
ending,
In the old county paper they send me
The lazy old paper. the calm, tranquil pa
per,
The old weekly paper they send me from
home.
Its "ShOrt' local tales are the first de-
vOur--
"Bill Jones is the pa of a big bouncing
boy"
Farmer johnson called Monday and
chatted an hour.
And brought us some fruit king might

sour good townsman Olson is painting

doc Smith has gone East; o Doc. why
will you rOam?"
:" Some nice new potatoes repose on our
table,
The. gift of Tom Black" says the paper
from home.
The easy old paper. the self-possessed
pauer,
The old county paper they send me
Again let us state" says the head of the
journal,
Our course cannot be changed by a
threat or bribe,
We shall stick by the truth-that alone
is eternal
We're wanting some wood; now's the
time to subscribe"
Dan Coon. of Black Lake, who is run.
ming for Sheriff,
Has thanks for some honey brought fresh
from the comb,
We hope Dan will win. though his views
Are hardly the thing" says the paper
from home.
The drowsy old paper. the good-natured
paper,
The. old county paper they send me
from home.
And yet that old paper to me Is far dearer
Than big city dailies. prize it above
The Journals whose pages are larger and
clearer;
1t comes from the haunts and the
friends that l love.
The glad scenes of youth with blue skies
arching over.
The friends where the bees and the
butterflies roam
Sweet thoughts of them all, with the
scent OF the clover,
Steal back with the paper they send me
from home.
The gracious old paper. the dearly -prized
paper,
The old county paper they send me
from home.

Tie Is Radical on the Trust Issue - Still Be.
lieves in BimetaIlism.
Mr.. Bryan while in London, Eng.
land, was the object OF very general
interest from his prominence as a
Presidential possibility, and the follow.
ing expression of his position upon
salient public issues was given for pub
lication:
81 notice l am not regarded by
some as conservative, and in order
that there may be no misundersta nd.
ing on the subject. permit me to say
that in one sense have always been
conservative. The Democratic poll.
cies are conservative in that they en-
body old principles applied to new
conditions. There was nothing new
in principle in either of the platforms
on which l stood. We were accused
OF attacking property, when in fact
the Democratic party is the defender
OF property, because it endeavors to
draw the line between honest methods
on the one side and predatory wealth
and immoral methods on the other.
1t is to the interests of every honest
man that dishonesty should be ex-
posed and punished; otherwise, the
deserving are apt to suffer for the un.
deserving. If, however, by the word
conservative they mean that l have
changed my position on any public
question or moderated my opposition
to corporate aggrandizement, they
have surprise waiting for them. I
am more radical than was in 1896,
and have nothing to withdraw on
economical questions which have been
under discussion.
"The only question we discussed in
1896. upon which there has been any
apparent change. is the silver question,
and there has been no change in the
advocates of -himatallism, hut in. con-
ditions. We contended for more
money and urged the free coinage OF
silver as the only means then in sight
for securing it. The increased produc-
ton of gold has brought in part the
benefit we expected to secure from the
restoration of silver.
a believe in bimetallism, and 1 be.
lieve that the restoration OF silver
would bring still further prosperity,
besides restoring par in exchange be-
tween gold and silver using countries,
but 1 recognize, as do all other bimet-
allists whom have met abroad, that
the unexpected and unprecedented in.
crease in gold production has for the
present removed the silver question as
an issue.
"While the money question has
waned in importance, other questions
have been forging to the front, and to
those questions we must apply the
same principles we applied to the mon.
ey question, and seek to secure the
greatest good to the greatest number
by legislation which conforms to the
doctrine of equal rights for all and
special privileges for none."
Mr.. Bryan added that he would dis.
cuss the trust, tariff, railroad and labor
questions, imperialism and other is.

The Laws Uncertainties.

A distinguished lawyer from the
East chatting with Justice Mcfarland,
OF the California Supreme Court,
asked in reference to matter of legal
procedure. "The Supreme Court is
the highest tribunal in the State, is il
not?"
Yes" assented the justice, cit is
the court of ultimate conjecture"

Bryan's Clothes q Misfit for Roosevelt.

StOtttSS = Fsshe wi NOosSvSsss
The reference to Roosevelt wearing
Bryan's clothes, so frequently q matter
OF reference of late, owes it's origin to a
query made by the correspondent oi
the London Times just as the great
commoner was leaving the English
metropolis, and is thus related.
els it true" the correspondent
asked, "that President Roosevelt,
caught you in swimming and stole
your clothes? Over in America they
say that is what has happened"
"He did not get all my clothes"
Mr.. Bryan answered, laughingly, and
quickly added: "I doubt whether
what he did get fit him very we'll"
Mr.. Bryan went on:
at is hard. uphill work for Mr..
Roosevelt. TO make his administration
respond to the country's evident de-
mand for reforms, for the country gave
him no mandate. The platform on
which he was elected does not declare
that our laws and our Government
should aim at the welfare of the whole
people, but if Democratic President
is chosen in 1908, he will undoubtedly
represent q party committed TO this
reform idea, and will be in quite a
different situation.
"There is no doubt about the peo.
ple's wish in this respect. Views that
were considered revolutionary q few
years ago are now accepted a. sane
and necessary. A change has come
over the country.
IAN American asked me to-day
Mr.. Bryan, how do you explain the
change that has come over some oil
our rich men in respect to their atti-
tude toward Democratic principles2
1 replied: THE explanation is very
easy. People who live in q valley
watch the dams above them, and il q
flood is threatened they know that the
higher the dam the greater the danger
and some of them have made up their
minds that they cannot afford to dam
public sentiment any longer

Although lilies are here said to b,

And best of Flora's beauty"
The rose plays its part in literature
as type of hope, beauty, or bravery,
just as the lilies typify purity or the
violet modesty.
" The rose is fairest when It's budding
new,
And hope is brightest when it dawns
from fears,
The rose is sweetest washed with
morning dew,
And love is lovcliest when embalmed
in tears.
y wilding rose, whom fancy thus

Emblem OF hope and love through
future years.
The rose is, too, an emblem of life
its Joys and sorrows, the bright flowers
OF the rose are our happy days and
sweetest pleasures, its thorns are our
sorrows and tears. But just as every
rose has its thorns and flowers, so we
try to find brightness amid sorrow,
and spread roses of happiness around
us.
" AS on each rose thorn there grows,
Strive that no thorn will be without its
rOse."
These roses OF goodness do not die,
but their sweet odors refresh US all
through life, and their memory lives
on, after we have passed away, just as
the petals of real roses, even though
withered and dead, retain
"All the fragrance of Summer
When Summer is gone."
OF double roses, such as the damask,
the Provence and the moss rose, the
poets OF olden time-Chaucer, Spencer
and Shakespeare-oiten sang OF their
beauty, for said ChAucer:
IL love well sweet roses red."
Each season has its flower bell, so a
pretty poem tells us. The lilies of the
valley ring their tiny bells in Spring,
and louder chimes comes from the
joyous blue bells" in Summer, while
myriads of heather-bells proclaim the
Of autumn:
Ring the seasons round
With the joyful sound
OF flower bells
If We listen near
Then we shall hear
What nature tells.
And nature seems to cry,
My pulses cannot die,
They cannot cease,
And all the snow-bells clear
Ring through the cold dead year,
Come hope and peace"

SYNOPSIS.

Chapter In an impenetrable London fog
John Chilcotc, a prominent and rapidly rising
member of the opposition in parliament, unex-
writer, who is his exact double. At the mo-
ment the aggression of Russia in Persia is the
all engrossins topic. Il-RusSia is reported to
be supporting the rebels in their fight against
the authority of the shah of Persia, thus dis
tinctly menacing Ensland'S influence in the
cast. Il1-Chilcote who is a slave to morphia,
hears of a novel in which two men exchange
identities. " andy Chilcote visits Loder in
the %latter's humble quarters and proposes that
Loder shall impersonate him when Chilcote is
overcome by the craving for morphia and
wishes to get out of the world for the time
being.

years Of dreary sanity madness had a
fascination. Against all reason it
stirred and reused him. For one in
slant his pride and his anger faltered
before it, then common sense flowed
back again and adjusted the balance.

The other returned his glance, and
as their eyes met Loder was reluctant

face was disturbed. it had no traces
of insanity.
Il make you a proposal" Chilcote
repeated %nervously, but with distinct
ness. D you accept?"
For an instant Loder was at a loss
to find a reply sufficiently final. Chill
cote broke in upon the pause.

through my routine duties for a week
or two occasionally when l find my
endurance giving away, when a respite
becomes essential. The work would
be nothing to a man in your state Of

lowed Loder to the desk. Won't you
give me an answer? I told you I am
neither mac nor drunk"
Loder pushed back the scattered pa
pers that lay under his arm.

The others lips parted for a quick
retort: then i'll a surprising way the
retort seemed to fail him. "Oh. be-

Chilcote stepped closer. Why" he
insisted.

Chilcote put out his hand and touch

Loder shook off the hand and laugh

are now in good condition, and the hay
crop has been improved tho the yield
will be below the average. Early hay
ing is in progress. Garden truck ana

Fall in Lincoln Park.

Youngstown, Ohio. June 26.-Leo
Myers, of Chicago, confessed to the
murder OF his wife and gave himself
up to the police last night. He says
he wants to be returned to Chicago.
Myers says the murder took place last
September in Lincoln Park. Chicago.
Since that time he has travelled all ov-
err the country. but the thoughts of the
reported crime have always haunted
him. 1t is thought that the man is
mentally unbalanced, but his story was
straight in every detail. He said his
wife had left his home in Wells street,
on the North Side. with paramount.
He followed them to Lincoln Park, and
there shot the woman and fled. Myers
is 40 years old and a native of Ger

night even a suicide at the time men,
toned above that might have been
construed as murder.]

'Who is this beauty?" people asked.
A New York painter hunted her up
and soon she became noted as the
