says the True Witness, we have been
unable to find either on the map or

Jesuits have no house in q place of

mythical, the foundation of the story
disappears. 1t is, of course, the AS

fault, but when this source Of news is
so uniformly, and, perhaps nlalicionsly
unreliable, as has been proved time

Let Your Face Alone,

Soft, tlabby skins may be greatly i'm

Hot water should be employed for
delicate skins With great care, as it
will destroy the elasticity of the mus
cles. An occasional liberal use of hot
water for cleansing, followed with very
cold, until the face glows with the re-

never be given oftener than once {,
fortnight.
The best dermatologists say much
harm is done to the face by indiscrimi-
nate and ignorant massage. Massage
wrongly given may stretch the muscles
and make them habby. 1t is a good
thing when done as it should be, but
how and when it should be given one
should learn from specialist. Very
seldom two skins require the same

BRYAN STILL THE LEADER

The action of Missouri and Kansas
Democrats in declaring William j.
Bryan to be their choice as the next
Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency is but Il sample of the position
which Democrats of other states will
take toward the great Ncbrask;n. MIR
Bryan, as the whole country knows
has been in foreign lands for many
months, paying no attention to polti-
cal matters. His absence, if anything
mas served to strengthen him before
the people. The repeated demonstra-
tons that have been planned and car
ried out in his honor in every lanG
that he has visited has been IL mari,
of respect and honor for the nation as
well as for the man. Then, too there is
Il marked change in this country in
reference to the principles that Bryan
has constantly advocated. People
who condemned him in 1896 as an i'm
practicable theoriSt are now support
ing President Roosevelt in measures
more radical than was advocated by
Bryan ten years ago. Bryans con-
sistcncy is winning the American vot-
ers to his side. He has stuck to his
guns through the dark days and now
finds that his one-time enemies are
his foremost supporters. He is, with
out any doubt with the possible eX-
ccption of President Roosevelt, the
most popular American now living Ii
would seem ut this time that nothing
except his death or positive refusal Ia
accept Il nomination can prevent his
almost unanimous choice ut the next
national Democratic convention. If
MIR. Bryan should be nominated by the
Democrats in 1905 it would break the
record in American politics. Grover
Cleveland was three times the candi-
date of the Democracy for the prcsi-
dency but on two of these occasions
he was successful. Bryan has already
twice been nominated and twice de-
feated. Should he be nominated for /,
third time under such circumstances it
would be the greatest tribute to the
personal worth of a man that had ever
been paid by a political party.

AN HISTORICAL EVENT..

Some twelve years ago Il Russian

Pctrunkevitch, presented IL petition to
Nicholas ii asking for i, constitution
ana a Parliamentary government for
Russia. The Cars reply was that
the request was the scnseleSS dream ot
an aEitator. one week ago last Thurs
day there assembled in the Winter Pal
time in Russian history, Il national
Parliament, and Ivan Petrunkevitch
was there. There and then for the
first time 4 Russian Car greeted and
addressed representatives of the peas
antry of Russia. For the first time
Self-respccting representatives of the
Russian people crossed the threshold
of ST. Georges Hall in the great palace
of the Cars and We're received by the
Emperor of Russia as cu-operators in

The scene presented was IL significant
and dramatic answer given twelve
years later to ivan Petrunkcvitch's Pc
tition. The honor of making the first
speech in the new Russian Parliamcn,
was accorded that same Russian repre-
and that first speech was Il demand
for amnesty for those who had fought

The Hearst papers have come to the

from the attacks that are being made
upon them by honest and disinterest-

Hearst papers contain a good many
columns every day of advertising paid

nostrums about which so much is now
being said. Mr. Hearst never loses the
opportunity to have it said in his be-
