PHILADELPHIA, December 27.-WU.
liam Jennings Bryan will not be the only
political star to shine at the dinner to
state Treasurer Berry which the Demo-
cratic Club will give at the Hotel Walton
the evening Of February 1.
Gov. johnson Of Minnesota, Henry Wat
terson's candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination, has been sched-
uled to respond to toast and told that
he may select his own topic. Gov. Hig-
gins Of Rhode Island. Tom L. johnson,
mayor Of Cleveland. and George w.
Guthrie, mayor Of Pittsburg. are to re-
spond to toasts, and Judge Gray of Della
ware has been invited to speak.
The local democracy will be represented
among the orators by Michael j. Ryan
and ex-Judge Gordon. Col James M.
Guffey, the state leader, has been invited,
but no assurance has been received that
he will be present.

Bryan Urges Nebraskan.
LINCOLN, Neb., December 27.-W. ].
Bryan is interesting himself in selecting
vice presidential candidate for the re-
publicans and insists that the candidate
should come from Nebraska.
In an editorial he suggests a number
Of prominent Nebraska republicans az
candidates, and one of these Is his former
law partner, A. r. Talbot.

braska politics and Is now head counsel

of Jacksonville, ILL.,, that the Treasury
Department favors New York as asains,
Chicago and st. Louis by depositing 500
100000 In New York banks and only
100000 and $30O0,O00, respectively, at
Chicago and st. Louis. Mr.. Bryan, in his
Commoner OF today, says the favoritism
Is notorious and giaring.
He says the matter Is still further ag-
gravated by the fact that the New York
banks have refused to return the West
srn money deposited with them. He de-
clares the Western banks are not to
blame for the financial furry. and yet
the government, instead OF helping them,
gives most of its attention to New York,
whose financiers, he declares, have been
Indifferent to the interests Of the country.

The Work Of Abbey.

Abbey's work is distinctly decorative,
while at the same time purely illustra-

Perhaps the fact that all the world

the popularity of Mr. Christy's inane
drawings-which. to give them their due,
are much better in olaek and white than
IN color. Flippant and trivial. they make
subjective appeal, but have little or no art
merit. The works OF Harrison Fisher be-
ing more characterless are even less COM
mendable, though they too have suffered
a vogue. Fiction about royal persoHages

The Gibson Pictures.

Charles Dana Gibson has been said to
have delineated the true type. but exam
lining carefully the examples of Mr. Glib
sons work, which are shown in this lsx-
hibition, it will be found that his most
successful illustrations are OF everyday
life and commonplace people There Is
much to admire~in the drawing of an old
man in a big armchair, which has a
prominent place In his group, and evil
dence of great ability to be found In
other less simple compositions. Mr.. Glib
son had unusual technical facility strong
individuality. keen sense of humef and
the impressions which he registered were
direct. forceful and often acute. OF re-
cent years Mr.. Gibson has laid aside his
Illustrating to study painting, but with
now much wisdom remains to be seen.
Between the illustrations by Mr. Fisher
ana those by Mr.. Gibson intervene the
works of A. B. Frost and George Gibbs
both of whom are well known in this city
Mr.. Frost Is chiefly represented by re-
productions in color of American hunt
ing scenes. and Mr.. Gibbs entirely by
colored pictures of great naval combats
Both OF these illustrators have been
fortunate In having their works we'll re-
produced, and are seen to excellent ad-
vantage. To the artist as we'll as the
sportsman Mr.. Frosts pictures will ap-
peal. but it should be remembered that
his strongest claim for distinction is to
be found In his Illustrations of the life
of the American farmer.

It's Honorable Beginning and Its Lat
ter Day Decline.
The degeneracy Of a good word was
illustrated in case at Branksome
Dorset, in which a witness spoke Of
the defendant as ''this fellow" and was
ordered by the bench to substitute
''ttis man. ''Fellow' began very
honorably by meaning a person who
put down money with others in a
joint undertaking, it's component parts
being akin respectively to 'fee' prop

day it is dignified to be a fellow of a
college, and nobody minds being called
a "fe1Iow citizen" "fellow Chris

But ordinarily fellow" alone ranks
now as in the painful scene in which
Mr. Tupman said, ''Sir, you're a fell

HOUSE OF NAPOLEON.
The Dwelling In Corsica In Which the
Great Man Was Born

The Dwelling In Corsica In Which the
Great Man Was Born.
Historically, Ajaccio, Corsica, is Of
the utmost Importance, for here it was
that on the 10th Of August, 1869, Ma
poleon Bonaparte was born, and here
it was that the future emperor spent
his youth, enlightened by an intelligent
and lovely mother. The "Casa Napo-
leon" is one Of the-or, should say,
the principal building in Ajaccio. It is
solid three story building with gray
stucco walls and number Of large
windows Situated in the old part of
the town, one would scarcely find it
were it not for the boys who tender
their services to guide the stranger to
the place.
Although plundered in 1893 by the
partisans of Paoli, the heroic Corsican
fighter for liberty, the house still con-
tains a few "reminiscences Of the great
warrior Besides number of ordi-
nary rooms. each room containing some
furniture, one finds the bedroom where

FLY FISHING.
The Expert Angler Explains Why Il

Il 4 humane Sport
WELL . said Chichester, tsn it comes
to suffering doubt whether the fish
are conscious of any such thing as we
means by it. But even if they are they
suffer twice as much and a thousand
times as long shut up in this hot, nasty
pool as they would in being caught in
proper style
But think of the hook
Hurts about as much as pin
prick
But think of the fearful struggle
and the long, gasping agony on the
shore!''
There's no fear in the struggle. It's
just trial of strength and skill, like
game of football. A fish isn't afraid
of death; he doesn't know anything
about it. And there is no gasping on
the shore, but a quick rap on the
head with stick. and it's all over.
"But why should he be killed at all?"
"Well," said he, smiling, ''there are
reasons of taste You eat salmon,
don't you?'
+
doubtfully, then with more assurance,
"but remember what Wilbur Short
says in that lonely chapter on Com
munion With the Catfish want them

and most painless way"
And that is angling with the fly"
said he, still more decidedly. s'The

sticks in the skin of the lip, where
there is least feeling. There is no
torture in the play of salmon. It's
ponent. Compare it with the other
ways of bringing a fish to the table
If he's caught in a net he hangs there
for hours, slowly strangled. If he's
speared, half the time the spear slips,
and he struggles off badly wounded,
and if the spear goes through him he
is flung out on the bank to bleed to
death. Even if he escapes he is sure
to come to a pitiful end some day
perish by starvation when he gets too
old to catch his food or be torn to
pieces by seal, an otter or a fish
hawk. Fly fishing really offers him.
Never mind that said Ethel.

PARADISE FISHES.
These Creatures Live in Odd Nests
Composed Of Air Bubbles.


Composed Of Air Bubbles.
Paradise fishes come from Japan,
and their nests are very odd indeed,
for they are composed of air bubbles.
Unlike goldfish, they will breed and
raise their young in an aquarium or
even in a glass globe, and they raise
three or four broods each year
Ordinarily the male paradise fish is
of a dull silyery color, but when he
goes accounting he puts on brilliant
coat, striped with streaks of red, blue
and green. When the female fish is
ready to lay eggs, she builds her nest
by swallowing air and making bubbles,
which are held together by sticky
secretion that comes from her mouth.
The eggs rise in the water and find a
resting place among the air bubbles, to
which they cling. The female fish tries
to swallow the eggs, but her husband
drives her away and keeps guard until
the eggs are Matched. IF the air bub-
bles burst. the male fish blows some
more so that Tie nest is always float
ing on the surface of the water
At the end of five days the young are
Matched out. They cannot swim, but
cling like tadpoles to the air bubbles.
If one falls, the father fish catches it
in his mouth and blows it up among
the bubbles again. He does not leave
his little ones until they are able to
swim, and then they take care of them
selves.

ST. PATRIcK,s DRUM.
The Sunken Rock and the Legend Of
the Banished Snakes.

the Banished Snakes.
There is an old legend to the effect
that st. Patrick banished all reptiles
from Ireland by beating drum, but
no one probably seriously believes the
story. According to the myth, he took
his drum out for the purpose mention
ed and commenced pounding it so Wig
orously that he knocked a hole in the
drumhead, thus seriously endangering
the success of the miracle. While pom
dering what to do ST. Patrick was as
tonished by the appearance Of an an
gel, who Immediately set to work to
mend the broken musical instrument
After the hole had been mended the
angel vanished, and st. Patrick con-
tinued the work Of serpent banishing,
being successful in Kidding the island
of every representative Of the snake
tribe except one old slayer who had
lived so long that his tusks protruded
from his mouth like horns. This mon
ster refused to leave the '.land of his
fathers and the good saint resolved to
practice a little piece of strategy. He
removed the patch which the angel had
put on the drumhead and then per-
suaded the serpent to creep into the
drum for the night. When the reptile
had done as requested, st. Patrick
glued down the magic patch and then
threw drum, serpent and all into the
sea. A sunken bowlder off the west
coast of Ireland is called st. Patrick S
drum.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years of married life often make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from a flower which is rudely
handled. The matron is only a dim
shadow, faint echo of the charming
maiden. Few young women appreciate
the shock of the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understand
ing that this secret drain is robbing the
cheek of its freshness and the form of
its fairness.
