BRYAN ENDORSED.
Missouri Counties Favor the Nomina
 ton of Nebraskan.
The lINEOUALED

St. Louis, Mo, May 12.-Six out of eleven counties in Missouri holding democratic primaries or conventions today indorsed Bryan for president in 1908. This makes a total of eleven counties to date which have fallen in line for the Nebraskan although there has been little or no agitation con corning the presidency by political leaders. The counties are in various sections of the state and furnish, there fore all the better idea of the drift which sentiment is taking. The coun- ties taking such action today are: Bates, Putnam, Howell. Wright, Llv- incton and Jefferson Five other coun- ties have previously indorsed Bryan.
 In the minds of those who have been following Missouri politics, to- days action foreshadows Bryan del eeation from Missouri in the national convention. One of the most notice able features of the endorsements is that none of them mention the sil- yer issue. Livingston and Jefferson counties indOrse MT. Bryan upon a platform of tariff reform. while How ell county nominates him upon "any platform to suit himself.

NOrway's Seaw eed.

"All along the coast of Norway sea weed Is gathered and burned" writes the Christiania correspondent of the London News. This seaweed grows in veritable forests and Is not of the common grass variety. There are ac- tual trees of it, five or six feet high. with stems like ropes and leaves tough as leather. They begin to sprout ear ly in the year and cover the ocean bea with a dense. impenetrable brush. As q source of income the seaweed indus try now surpasses the fisheries. and it is more valuable than agriculture even in one of the leading farming districts of Norway. Owners of land abutting on the seashore are reaping great harvest. After the weeds have been burned the ashes are exported to Eng land. where valuable chemical sub stances are extracted from them. The most important of these products is iodine.'

How They Got Up . Row.


 At one of the English country inns Hook and Mathews once got up mock quarrel before large company. The wit and the comedian each appealed most earnestly to the sympathy of the company. who, with the true British predilection for anything in the shape of row, eagerly espoused the side of one or other of the champions. The contest proceeded. and Hooks cool in vectivcs. we are told. grew more and more cutting and the gesticulations of Mathews more wild and extravagant Blows followed, and the partisans. full of gin and valor. soon followed the eX ample of their principals. A general melee succeeded. Candles were knocked out, tables and chairs Overthrown, the glasses "sparkled on the boards" and in the midst of the confusion. just in time to avoid the arrival of the police and the impressive denouement. the promoters of the riot. unobserved, eff fected their escape, leaving their excit- able adhereuts to compute at leisure the amount of damage done to their persons and property and to explain. if possible, to a magistrate in the morn ing the cause and object of the combat London Spectator.

PIRACY AND PROPOSAL
 By EPES ". SARGENT
Copyright, 1908. by Epes w. Sargent

Perhaps one reason why Hoffman re- spected his nephews was because of the excellent understanding between themselves and Alice Cutler. Evan was bashful and self conscious in her presence, but the twins were her chums, and Evan envied them.
 He had been trying for six weeks to decide whether or not Alice cared for him, and he was afraid to put his fate to the test. He was not much of ladies' man. Until he had seen Alice his yacht had been his sweetheart, and d cruise with lot of good fellows ou.- weighed all the allurements of fem!- nine society.
 Now he regretted little-just lit tle-his devotion to the sea. He did not even know whether Alice thought of him as his nephews' uncle or as himself Unversed in the ways of women, he could not decide. He might have asked his sister, but he dreaded Gertrude's gibes. so he devoted himself more than ever to the twins, and thus gained a right occasionally to enter the charmed circle, the center of which was Alice Cutler.
 Then came the twins inspiration. Bedtime tales of the Spanish main had fired their imaginations. Here they were on the gulf of Mexico. whence the gold laden galleons had made their start Nothing would satisfy but that they should go upon pirating expedi- ton.
 Their mother was glad enough to be rid of them for the week the cruise would occupy, and Alice Cutler manu- factured most imposing skull and crossbones flag to be broken out from the masthead when the quarry should be sighted. The twins carefully looked after the saluting cannon and its sup ply of ammunition. and laboriously practiced carrying wooden daggers be- tween their teeth.
 Then came the day of authorization. The twins kissed their mother gOOdby,

as dutiful pirates should. and set out with Alice for the pier, while Evan hurried over to the postoftice to make sure that belated business letter was properly posted.
 He cursed his fate with true piratical fervOr when he came to the dock and found that Alice had returned to the hotel without goodby for himself. but once on board and under way he became absorbed in the twins play.
 It was one of their greatest charms that they could make believe with such absolute seriousness as to con- vince an outsider that their pretense was real. and Evan grinned over their circumstantial account of the capture of beautiful maiden, whom they were holding for ransom.
 We just tied handkerchief over her mouth." exclaimed Dudley, "an' says. Hess we get ten thousand dub lins from your father we'll send him your ears"
 An she cried" supplemented Cor don "an' tried to take the bandage of. an we tied her hands. an it was dou- bleoons. not dublins. what We said.''
 Faint. it's dublins." defended Dud- ley. and by the time the arbitrator had decided that neither was right on the pronunciation of doubloons the twins were ready to go down into the cabin and decide upon their course.
 Now. what propose" explained Evan. "is to get out in the gulf and wait for the galleons from the mines. They should have left Vera Cruz day before yesterday Shall we do that or shall we set sail for Brazil. land force and p,under the storehouses of the natives?"
 'I don't think mother would like it," objected Dudley. Its too far away. Besides, we've the beauteous maid en to ransom. We ought to cable her father, as we promised"
 Pirates don't cable" suggested Cor don. "They send messengers in dis guise."
 II guess modern pirates use the ca ble," laughed Evan. stopping q demon stration. You youngsters had better pile on deck and keep sharp lookout for treasure ships"
 The twins departed. still arguing the question of to cable or not to cable, and. lighting a cigar, Evan gave him.

AMNESTY FOR POLITICAL
OFFENDERS

St. Petersburg, May 14.-With the assembling of the newly constituted douma for it's first business session, the attitude of opposition to the czar. which the new assembly is bound to assume, was shown without attempt at concealment.
 The deputies showed that they are determined to secure amnesty for all no,itical offenders if it is within their power to do so, as the first step in their progress of reformation for Russia. Until amnesty is granted by inc czar there is little likelihood that any business of importance can be transacted.

self over to wondering why Alice had not waited to bid him goodby. She had half promised that she would be on hand to wish him good luck on his first piratical adventure. 1t was not like her to break her word
 He was still lost in thought when the steward came in to set the table for lunch
 Beg pardon, sir" he asked, shall I set place for the lady?'
 Have the boys been telling 70, about their captive?" laughed Evan "I supposed that captives on pirate ships were fed on bread and water"
 '"The young lady in the cabin, sir. the one the young gentlemen were telling you about, sir"
 There's no young woman in the cab in." denied Evan. Its part of their make believe"
 "I thought you knew, sir." persisted the steward. "There's lady in that cabin"
 Hoffman made two steps to the door indicated and threw it open. There oH the bunk lay Alice Cutler bound hands and feet and with towel across her mouth. It was the work of moment to release her. but it was five minutes before her lips permitted her to speak.
 Don't mind." she smiled as she ns- tened to Evans horror stricken expla- nations. "I imagine that the boys took their piracy too seriously It was ell done so suddenly that could not help myself, but was sure that you would find it out when you came on board"
 And to think" he groaned, that 1 was sitting in the cabin all the fore noon, and you were lying here suffer ing"
 iated, ''and the boys were so full of their cruise that you really cannot blame them. hope you will not pun ish them.''
 Punish themw he echoed savagely. If they are going in for this sort of piracy they should be strung up at the yardarm."
 bling down the companionway. As their glance fell upon their captive they jumped upon their uncle and be- gan to pummel him.
 Ut ain't fair." protested Gordon. "to let the captives out. They might run away"
 For moment Evan struggled with desire to fight back, then he caught Alice's eye. and he contented himself with grasping the collars of two sailor jackets and bringing the twins in front of him.
 "I'll give you dollar apiece as ran son." he said sternly. Not cent more.'
 You can have her." they chorused. "Give up the dollar.''
 Payment was made, and Hoffman sent word to the mate to head for home to the great dismay of the twins, but on this point Evan and Alice were agreed.
 The sun was just sinking in the west as the Mona, renamed the ScourSe, came in sight of home. From the bridge Alice and Evan watched the landmarks loom up, while the twins. with Ewan's best binoculars, watched at the stern for pursuers.
 Ut Is too bad to bring the cruise to such sudden termination" she smiled.
 Ut is too bad to have to return to the real" he supplemented. "For the last four hours you have been my cap tive and now
 And now?" she prompted.
 "The situations are reversed. I have been your captive ever since I came down here."
 'Then you were very unbusness- like pirate," she laughed softly. "to ransom me-"
 "Why? he demanded.
 Because" she whispered, you had only to ask and"-
 Evan asked.
 The next cruise of the Scourge will be honeymoon trip.
