the DAY OF REPENTANCE.

THE KING OF the DEMOCRATS.

Wherever Mr.. William Jennings Bry-
an goes. whether to lecture. preach Or
using Uncle George Perkins new verb,
to chautauqua, the leading opponents
of whatever brand Of democracy is
most in vogue at that particular place
gather to do him honor.s There are
little receptions at which the wheel
horses of the unterrifed crowd round
the peerless leader, listen to his voice
and bask in his expansive smile. II
there be those who have been against
Mr.. Bryan's leadership in the past
nothing is known or said that would
indicate it. When he lectures the front
row is crowded with democrats, rapt
and attentive. Even on religious
subject and in church Mr.. Bryan
draws a front seat full of democrats.
& There is but one conclusion. Mr..
Bryan is the great central sun of
democracy toward which each individ-
ual sunflower Enthusiastically and
naturally. What Thomas jefferson is
to the past OF democracy Bryan is to
the present. When he enters the little
lflddles cease and the band strikes up
Hail to the chief. He is it, the cen-
sor, guide, demonstration and exempli-
fer Of democracy.
It has been pretty hard of late to
diagnose democracy. 1t has broken out
in so many different forms, displayed
such varying symptoms and affected
individuals in such different fashions
that only men of temerity have been
willing to offer any definition of
democrat However, it, is now pretty
well settled that a real democrat is
supporter of Mr.. Bryan.
He thinks as Mr.. Bryan thinks, IA
vors The policies Mr.. Bryan favors.
Sometimes this keeps him pretty busy.
He must watch Mr.. Bryan's latest ut
terances closely. Otherwise he may be

Ira vels of a Promissory Note

A BONA fde holder of negotiable promissory
n note, holding the same for value before maturity
takes the free of all defenses between the original
parties. Fer instance, Bob Smith the horse dealer
sells you horse guaranteed to be sound and all
right you give Smith your note for the price of the
horse; and by the time you have owned the horse
for a week you find the animal has the blind staggers,
two or three spavns, and is blind in eye Well,
you are bound you won't pay the note anyhow, and
if Bob Smith worth anything you would
him into the bargain.
Hold on, my friend Where is your note? Smith
owed Sam ZONES for horse he had bought; so he
indOrses your note over to Jones. Perhaps Jones
a in the next county and indorses your
note over to him At any rate, your note gets into
the hands of Jones, innocent purchaser for value
before maturity.
Now then, look out! There is dark man follow
ing you, and you will lose money, the fortune
tellers say. When your note becomes due it is pre-
sented for payment. You refuse to pay it. 1t is
protested, and goes into the hands of attorney for
collection suit is threatened. Then you consult
your attorney. You'll fix Bob Smith! you say.
What does your attorney say: 1t only means more
costs for you to pay if you contest this note Better
pay the note, and then Smith for damages.
Smith isn't worth anything? Well then, it is too
bad Mr. Blank; but that does not affect the validity
= this note 1t is good in the hands of an innocent
purchaser for value before maturity and will have
to be paid.
The result is you do pay it, and if you have not
