Chicago, April 2O.-A dispatch to
the Record-Herald from Omaha says:
1.-The Democratic national platform of
1908, if Mr.. Bryan controls the con-
vention will not demand absolute gov
ernment ownership of railroads. This
was authoritatively announced yester
day by James c. Dahlman, national
committeeman from Nebraska, who
is in close touch with Bryan. From the
same source 1t is stated that tariff re-
feature of the platform. The platform,
according to Dahlmal, has already
been mapped out, and will contain
some radical changes from the docu-
ment adopted in 1904. While Dahlman
was not able to go into minute de-
tails, he says that prominent pla1ks
in the Bryan platform will concern
trusts, tariff, state regulation of cor
porations and money.
Taft and Hughes the Favorites.
Chicago, April 2O.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says
the RepuDllCdn UdIlOndl IlChel Will De
headed in 1908 by Taft and Hughes.
This is the ticket which seems to ap-
peal to the majority of administration
followers, and they point out tnat the
preliminary campaign practically is
concentrated in two states, Ohio ald
New York. 1t should not be under
stood. of course, that Roosevelt is be-
hind the ticket, but the names of Taft
and Hughes are grouped together so
often by people who are in the con-
fidence of the President as to give
the impression that this ticket would
meet his approval to an extraordina-
ry degree.

Christiana Dickson, the wife of one
of the first settlers OF Erie County, Pa.
was a small, blue-eyed, low-voiced
woman. extremely timid, but she had
q horror of drunkenness.
She lived in the days when the use
of liquor was universal. But when
her sons were born, she resolved to
put stop to whisky-drinking in her
nome. Her husband being absent
Aer brothers called for the help of the
neighbors, according to custom, to
put up barn, needed on her farm.
They all assembled and went to work,
while she prepared a great dinner
After an hour or two, whiskey was
asked for. She refused to provide it.
"My neighbors," said she, "all OF
you are my friends. 1 have prepared
for you the best dinner in my power.
If you refuse to raise the barn without
liquor, so be it. But I would rather

than 10 give you whiskey."
The men angrily went home, the
little woman returned to the house,
and for hours cried as though her
heart would break. But the next day
every man came back, went heartily
to work, enjoyed her good dinner, and
said not word about whiskey.
This led to the discontinuance oil
the use of whisky at barn-raisings in
the country. Her sons grew up strong,
vigorous men, and did good work in
helping to civilize and Christianize
the world; their descendants are all oil

this little point, they might have be-

REMENYl AND THE PORTER.

Humorous Experience Of the Great vi.
olinist While Travelling in Colorado.
In the recent brief biography of Ed
uard Remenyi the great Hungarian vi
olinist is pictured as genius who saw
things from the humorous point OF
view. One afternoon at Fort Collins,
Colo, where he was to play that night,
Remenyi was sitting on the piazza of
his hotel when he was approached by
big burly porter.
What do you do in the show"
asked the porter.
81 am the end man." replied Remen-
vi.
81 thought so! Have you got some
influence with the boss of the show?"
II think have little"
81 thought so. Could you get some
tickets for me and my old woman?"
Maybe could"
81 thought so! Try hard!"
Il will try mighty hard"
A little later Remenyi's manager
gave the man two passes, which he re-
ceived with his stock ejaculation, Il
thought sol" He accompanied them
to the opera house in the evening and
Remenyi gave him his violin case to
carry.
who plays this fiddle?" he asked.
'The end man." replied Remenyi
81 thought so!''
After the concert the porter was in
the lobby waiting for the violinist and
the manager with a very long face.
Remenyi again gave him the violin
case, and as they walked along he was
heart to mutter. At last he said
aloud:
"You bet you fooled met
II thought SOL" said Remenyi, with
dancing eyes.
