BRYAN SPEAKS TO
GREAT AUDIENCE
Convention Hall at Kansas City
Packed to Doors by Mis- :
Souri Democrats.

Kansas City. Sept. 29.-william J. Bryan
addressed an enormous audience in con-
vention hall tonight. He completed his
campaign in Oklahoma last night and bad
planned to reach Kansas City at 500
o'clock, but his train was more than three
hours late in arriving. and he wac obliged
&c hurry directly from the railroad sta
ton TO the hall Governor Joseph w,
Folk and Senator William ]. Stone also
spoke. Prominent Democrats from all
over Missouri came to the meeting. if
Guiding nearly every member of the Dem
ocratic state central committee, which
held conference here this morning. The
great hall was brilliant with the decora-
tons for. the Priests of Pallas festivities
next week. and 25.0OO American flags were
given out at the doors tonight.
Republicans Arraigned
Mr. Bryan's speech was a severe ar
ralgnment of the Republican party. He
declared as in former speeches that the
things that President Roosevelt has done
which have been popular have been in ac-
cord with the Democratic policy which
the Democratic party has advocated for
years. He said:
They call me a socialist The Demo-
Gratis today are the only ones that can
save this country from socialism. The
DtHiDCIdlS prevent SOCldllSIn- me Re-
publicans denounce and abuse socialism,
They use harsh words toward the social
list. We do not say the socialist is an
honest man. There is this difference
Republicans between the socialist YOU
abuse and the Dlutocrat you embrace
the socialist is working for the people
and the plutOcrat is working for him
self. Socialism has grown under Re
publican rule; Republican rule has built
it up. l believe that socialism is wrong
but the socialist denounces abuses that
never should have been allowed to exist
in this country"

Messages Were Delayed.

These orders, however, were more or
less tentative. President Roosevelt
was fully advised by the war depart
ment of the situation. but the messages
were delayed and there was great anx-
iety until the approval of the war de-
partment's action came tonight in the
dispatch from the president. Prepara-
lions for the mobilization of the pro-
posed expedition of $500 men at New
port News were not delayed by the fail
ure TO get the presidents sanction of

termaster general hurried officers from
his department TO Cuba. and contracts

REMARKABLE FEAT OF MEMORY.

of Bible Verses.

Children Learn and Recite Thousands
of Bible Verses.
The pastor of a church in a Jersey
town wished to stimulate the memo.
ries of the children in his Sunday
school. To this end he offered two
prizes, the first to pupils over and
the other to pupils under twelve who
during an interval of three months
would learn to recite the greatest
number of verses from the Bible. A
committee was appointed to hear the
contestants for the prize and register
the number of verses memorized.
The first prize was taken by a
young girl of sixteen who had COM
mitted to memory. during this interval
of ninety days 1926 verses of Scrip
ture. These passages covered the IN.
tire New Testament with the excep.
ton of two genealogies and included
liberal selections from Psalms, Gene
sis and other parts of the Old Tesla
ment. The winner of the second prize
was a little sister of the other prize
winner, a child of eleven years. She
had learned us verses. During the
contest some 10000 verses were mem
oriZed.

Wordsworth Seemingly UnduIy Proud
of Simple Joke.

A rare old book, called The Living
Authors of England, published in 1S49,
commences with a study of Words

said to be the only joke the poet ever
made. At a friends house, after din.

Moore, who was present, told some
anecdotes Of Sheridan, w]hereupon
Wordsworth observed that he did not
consider himself a witty poet-''in-

ever witty but once in my life"
Being pressed to tell the company

STAGE Tears,

The true heroine, of the accepted
type, must know the secret of weep
ing for hours at a time, without in any
way blemishing her beauty. Further,
in moments of deep emotion she must
be prepared to bite her lips till they
bleed, and yet exhibit no subsequent
sign of swelling or Disagreement. The
tears of the heroine who would be pop
ular must be controlled by the ordin-
airy laws of gravity, SO that they hang
indefinitely on the ends of her long
lashes, and give rise to the well-worn
smile of "Violets washed in dew

Failures and Successes.

Men have two kinds of ambition
one for dollar-making, the other for
life-making. Some turn all their abil-
ity, education, health and energy
toward the first of these-dollar-
making-and call the result success.
Others turn them toward the second
into character, usefulness, helpful
ness-life-making-and the world
sometimes calls them failures; but
history calls them successes. No
price is too great to pay for an unfair.

Phenomena Of Lightning.

All the phenomena of lighting and
all it's forms are determined, doubt
less, by the kind and amount Of resis-
lance it encounters. Its light is due
to the resistance of the atmosphere.
Its noisy and often terrifying but
quite. harmless, accompaniment of
thunder, is due to the sudden separ-
alton and reunion of bodies of air
from sudden heating and cooling, and
perhaps in part to the explosion Of
gases into which watery vapor is de-
composed by the intense heat of cleo
trical flashes, the result of such ex-
plosion being their reconciliation in
the proportions of water.

former was offered to and rejected
