Haroisnn of the Old Soldier.

In point Of diversity Of character the
old soldiers in the national home are
not unlike what they were during the
civil war. Character tends to fixed
ness. Habits are not easily changed.
Among the members OK the home are
many whom any man would be glad to
know. and IL there are others-as It
was indeed In the civil war, both In the
army and navy-I find it hard to think
anything unworthy Of one who still
wears the "old blue coat Of the long
ago days Of the civil war. Time has
dealt not altogether kindly with the
men In every respect. Many OF them
for years had good homes, from which
for one cause or another the light has
gone out. In the hospital one day l
came to the bedside of veteran who
told me he was eighty-hve years old.
"Have you a wifef" I asked. He
said he had.
"And how old is she?" inquired.
"Elghty-three," was the reply.
"Well," added, ut is certainly hard
for you to be separated at this time OF
life"
"Yes." he said, "but the pension mon
ey was not enough for US both, and
so I came here in order that she might
have It all."-World Today.

Nav Soon Wear Paper trousers.

Sufficient attention has been directed
toward the warmth generated In the

the fact that there Is reason for seri'
Gus consideration Of paper garment
manufacture. There have been for
some time past vests made Of paper,
also cuffs, collars, shirt bosoms. etc.,
but 1t has remained for firm In Sax

cotton into finished fabrics Of common
use. Paper and cotton and paper ana
wool are so combined that seryiceable
outing suits, jackets, skirts and many
other articles Of dress wear are now
being produced. The new textile, II
so 1t may be called, Is cream coloreo
and may be washed repeatedly without
iniuring the surface, and is marketed
for a ridiculously small price. Sum-

CARLYLE In Italy.

In a recent number OF Poesla,
magazine published at Milan by the
poet Signor f. T. Marinetti In the In.
terest of the extreme impresslonists OF
Italy. there are printed two short
pieces Of verse by Carlyle and bis WIFE,
which the editor vouches for as "asso-
lutamente inediti." he does not state
how the manuscripts came Into his
possession. The spelling Of these pieces
is quite amazing, but an Italian COM
positor and neither Thomas nor Jane
w. Carlyle can be responsible for that.
The lady proves herself better vsrsi-
fer than the philosopher, who Is rep
resented as singing:
wath is man? A foolish baby;
vainly strives and fights and fe's'
Demanding all, deserving nothing.
One small grave is what he gets.
The sentiment Is perfectly Carlylese,
and "fets" Is delightful. The poems
are turned into Italian. which Is bet
ter than the original English, BY Iaira

We can find helpful lessons from a
bad mans life as well as from the life
of a good man. Thus today, as we see
the revolving wheels of Jehu's chariot
rushing on toward Jezreel, we learn
that when success comes TO q great,
strong life it generally comes sudden
ly. 1t Is not gradual coming. 1t Is
sudden change. A man wins fame, as
a rule, suddenly. A man goes to work
as a youth. He works and labors year
in and year out, for the most part In
comparative obscurlty. Then, after he
has gathered all the material and dug
the foundations for the temple OF fame,
It seems as though that temple comes
together and takes form in the twin
king of an eye. Opportunity knocks at
the mans door, crying: wake up! l
am herel Follow me at once! The
man leaps from his couch and follows
Opportunity, and. 10, In an hour MS
success is wont Such was the meteoric
career Of our Jehu.
Let us hunt up this Jehu few days
before he steps into his chariot to ride
to the royal palaces In Jezreel. he
was at Ramoth-gilead fighting the
Syrians. Ramoth- gilead was frontier
town, sometimes belonging to Israel
and sometimes belonging to Syria. Al
this time 1t belonged to Israel, but the

The New DOuma.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-The new
DJuma, supposed at first to be mere
tool OF the CIR, is in almost as bad
odor with court today as its two prede-
cassors. The msjOriiy's action last night
in refusing to recognize Russian sutoc-
racy as accepted is direct blow at The
rsactionisis.
The court party took vast plans to So
cure a majority of subseryient members
at The last election, believed they had
succeeded by comfortable margin and
are furious at the unexpected wrecking
Of their plans
Tia failure OF the reactionaries' plans
is especially exaspersting to the Cars
supporters, inssmuch as they had relied
on a show of unqualified loyalty in the
DOuma to facilitate the government loan.

Mrs. RradIeY's Trial.

Washington, D. O., Nov. 27.-The
beginning of the end Of the trial OF Mrs.
Bradley is now in sight. The unexpect-
ed brevity of the testimony of the expert
alienisls of the defense brought it's case
to close yesterday, sooner than was
1t is now probable that
the government will complete it's EVIL
dence in rcbultal today, leaving the way
clear for the addresses to the jury, which
will consume several days.
Archibald Livingston, CLERK in Sens-
tor Browns Office in Salt Lake, con-
tinued his testimony in rebuttsl al the
opening of court today. He identified
the railroad ticket signed by Mrs. Brad
Icy. He said there was nothing UNUSUAL
in The appearance or manner of Mrs.
Bradley on her departure from Salt
Lake. "In the summer of 1906" he
added, in reply 10 the questions OF the
governments attorneys, "she came to
the Office and We talked about Brown.
She asked if l thought he would marry
her. | said | didn't, and she said he'll
have to, or I'll blow his head off,"
Captain Williams, Officers Burlipgame,
Mullings and Grant gave as their
opinion that Mrs. Bradley WIS rational.
Something Of q sensation was pIO-
duced by the testimony OF Mrs. Thorne-
burg, police matron, who was with Mrs.
Bradley the night of December 8, after
The shooting.
81 said you must have been crazy "
said Mrs. Thorne5urg, "'To have
shot a man.

DANIEL AND BRYAN.

AS stated in the Gazette's Washington
correspondence yesterday, Senator Daniel
and Mr.. w. J. Bryan met in Washing.
ton hotel yesterday and had converse
ton concerning politics.
Senator Daniel was conversing with a
group of his colleagues when Mr.. Bryan
stepped from the elevator. The Nebras'
kan joined the group, and shook hands
with the Virginia Senator.
81 like you personally, Mr.. Bryan"
said Senator Daniel, "but | don't like
your methods"
'To what do you object particularly p
asked the Nebrf skan.
81 object particularly, sir, to your ct
tempt to dictate TO the democratic party"
responded Senator Daniel, promptly.
"When did I ever attempt to dictate
to the democratic party2" came from
Mr.. Bryan.
"You dictated to 1t in 1900, sir, when
you refused to run for President unless
The free silver plank was retained in the
platform" Senator Daniel answered.
"Then you did not approve of the
platform 10 1900" asked Mr.. Bryan.
81 certainly did not" replied the
Senator. al said then it would be
fatal"
"Well, l am glad to know that you
did not agree with It, for had always
supposed that as you we're on the plat
form committee, you had hand in its
mskipg."
~ was on the platform committee,
but it was under protest. You stuck
that silver plank in that platform, and
you dictated the making Of the platform
of 1900. You have attempted too much
to dictate to the party, and you are
making a mistake in doing it. As said,
l like you personally, but l can't agree
with some of your ideas, and ifyou want
to succeed, you must quit riding rough
shod over all the members in the party"
This took them again back TO the con-
vention OF 1896, and reopensd the dis
cussion, in which Senator Daniel again
said that he did not sgree at the time
with the platform.
"And what's more, il you are going
to insist on making platform and ruling
your party before you will become a
candidate, you should quit taking your
cue from the Independence League"
DWELL now, Senator, if you have the
idea that am taking my cue from any
body, We should not talk any more about
this subject" replied Mr.. Bryan, and
then they again told each other how they
liked the other personally, snd parted in

on the Inhabitants have been horrible

The villages through which the Turk
ish force is now passing are suffering
a similar fate. II is- Ibrahirn's purpose

there are vague stories of suspected con-

bv President Roosevelt and Governor

instances will be suspended and many
people will observe the day as holiday.
Thanksgiving Day is an American in
stitution, aud long before the formation
of the federal union ii was regarded as a
hoIy day among the first settlers. Its
origin has often been given, and while
many have looked upon the observance
of the day as unnecessary from the fec.
that thoughtful people should render
thanks every day, the custom has spread
and its observance is regarded by some
in authority as a necessary annual event.
At its inception Thanksgiving Day was
celebrated as G religious event, during
which prayer and thanksgiving consumed
the greater potion Of tao day, the feast
Jog being an Incident. It is not 50 nov,
as feastiog, amusemsDts, excursion trips,
