When Mr.. Bryan was in China. on

attention. In these letters. which at

this country and in England. the au-

civilization from an Oriental point OF
view and In comparison with Chinese
standards. Because he felt that the
cause against his own race was over
stated. and too glowing a picture was
painted OF the condition of affairs in
the Celestial Empire. Mr.. Bryan sat
down in an interval. on ship-board.

country from Suez Egypt.
The significant views expressed in
this volume by one of the most notable
figures in American affairs today,

STORM FULL or TRAGEDY
WAS NOT DEVOID OF HUlMOR.

bravely about this task assembled the
crowd in the woods on high ground:
A little before dark the water nao

the homes there came the suooeh

Mortified the men heard this ana

ed. oh, what shall I DO"
The same sort Of grief was express
ed by a woman living on Government
Street, south of the city, where the
sea came up the bayou. With tears In
her eyes she was explaining the de-
struction OF her thirty-fve chickens
by the storm. A sympathetic irish po-
her sorrows.
II raised them ALL" she was saying.
They would come and eat out OF my

They were the finest chickens in the

IF were you," automatically sug-
gested the policeman. II would kill this
last one and go to raising ducks. 1t
looks like this neighborhood Is a
healthier place for ducks than 1t is for
chic kens."
From one of the humble homes de-
stroyed near the junction of Zarra-
gossa and Devilliers Streets the only
thing saved was a sewing machine. 1t
was found Friday partially buried in
the sand, but apparently in good run
ming order. The fisherman who lived
in the house was tinkering about the
machine when one of his neighbors
heard in the nervous. exciting days
following the storm:

History records that in olden times
IN London, when they were killing
men and women for the good Of their
cution was broken by an irreverent
onloker's remark which turned trag-
edy into comedy. 1t was the duty OF
the executioner after he had. with MS
axe, stricken the head OF his victim
from his shoulders, to take the dis
membered head and. holding 1t high
for the awe of the assembled multi
tude ana say: Thus be it with all he
relics and traitors to His Majesty. the
King"
The first time on which the execu-
tioner was called upon to discharge
this duty he acquitted himself cred
itably. A shudder of horror ran
through the onlokers. Another vic
tim was waiting and again the axe Of
the executioner did Its work, but as
ne stepped to the edge Of The platform
he was fortunate enough to lose his
grasp in the head and II fell to the
ground. The crowd groaned with the
gruesome terror of the sight.
A third victim was beheaded and the
executioner stepped to the front to
repeat his maledictions upon heretics
and traitors and again he lost his
grasp upon the head and it fell
to the ground.
A ragged vagabond in the crowd
called out, so that all in the crowd
could hear him:
"Ah. come down. Butter fingers"
At this the tension Of the crowd'shorror
was broken and roar of laughter
went up from every quarter of It.
So close together as this. is humor
and tragedy and the slenderness OF
the line that divides them was fully
appreciated by those who passed
