Comments on Broken Mirror Much
Worse Than Actual Cost.

There was cigar store opened up

New York Press. Three hours later
a huge plate mirror directly behind

the unequal expansion in tight

GETTING CLOSE TO 1T.
Love Feast To w. j. Bryan within
sound of white House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S-Within easy
range of the White House on Tuesday
evening, Nov 20, William Jennings
Bryan will be hailed by 800 prominent
Democrats gathered from all parts of
the country as the next president of
the United States.
1t is said by the managers in chief
of the projected love feast with every
evidence of good faith that Mr.. Bryan
will he flanked at the right and the
left of his place ut the dining board
by such stanch Democrats as Tom
Johnson of Cleveland, John Sharp
Williams Of Mississippi, Hoke Smith
of Georgia, Governor Edwin Warfield
and Senator lsador Rayner of Mary
land, Senator Joseph w. Bailey Of
Texas and William Randolph Hearst
of New York and elsewhere.
1t may be that when the four chief
speakers of the evening are announced
q surprise will be sprung upon the
country. Those who have been in
charge of the preparations for the re-
ception and dinner to Mr.. Bryan have
been holding the names a secret. Not
long ago they gave out twelve names
with an intimation that among the
twelve will be found the four chief
spokesman of the evening. Among the
twelve there were some who never
have been disciples willing to follow
the Nebraskan leader. Others among
them have been his followers and the
preachers of his gospel ever since 1896.
One or two Of the latter will speak,
Of course, but the great and strong de-
sire of the reception managers, as 1t
must he Of Mr.. Bryan himself, is to get
sweet words of promised support from
those who In the past have stood aloof.
1t is known almost certainly that
John Sharp Williams, Democratic
leader of the house of representatives
and soon to be senator from the state
Of Mississippi, will deliver one of the
chief utterances of the evening, and it
is expected that from Mr.. Williams
mouth will fall the words nominating
Mr.. Bryan for the presidency and
promising him the support of united
Democracy.

SURPRISING a Nocturnal pisturber.

There has just been enacted at Basel
a piece Of police prudery which the
champion among the official martinets
of Berlin might have envied. says a
Geneva letter to the London Pail Mall
Gazette.
A journalist given to using his type
writer late at night proved himself
somewhat trying to his fellow dodgers
or occupiers Of the house, who, failing
to procure cessation of the annoy
ance by private protest, at last report
ed the matter to the police as a nut
sance.
The case was not exactly simple,
though 1t was certainly novel, but po'
lice intelligence finally oyercame the
difficulty. They summoned the jour
nalist for creating nocturnal dis
turbance, and the tribunal imposed a
fine of one franc, with the alternative
of four hours Imprisonment.

ON rAE USE or A IS STAMP
Several officials Didn't Know What
They Are Intended for.

II you came into possession OF hye
dollar postage stamp what would you
do with Il? The five dollar stamp Is
the highest denomination the govern
ment manufactures. They are on sale
at all first-class post Offices, says the
Kansas City star
Harry Harris, treasurer OF the post
Office. was exhibiting bundle of them
which had been received recently
Very pretty" said the visitor. But
what are they used for?"
Why. postage, of course-do-wait
minute"
Mr.. Harris pondered
The weight limit on firstclass pos
tage, which Is the most costly. Is four
pounds" he said. "At the established
rate of two cents an ounce a four
pound package would require only
SIPS in stamps. Couldn't use the five
dollar stamp there, could you?
1T might be used an third-class mat
ter where the rate is one cent for
each two ounces. The limit of weight
on this class is four pounds except 1t
be in the case of single book"
Mr.. Harris did some figuring and as.
certained that the book would have to
weigh something like SIS pounds in
order to use the five-dollar stamp.
But. Of course, anybody would send
the book by express for so cents" he
reflected. "Darned il know what
they use 'em for. Ask Reilly"
Mont. Reilly, assistant postmaster.
was puzzled and he checked up the
question to Joseph Harris, the post
master. The p. M. wouldn't even
hazard guess, except that they were
used in the post Office when the regu'
lations called for large cancellation
Of postage to cover matter sent out
under the second.class rates.
A fivedollar stamp, he admitted
couldn't be exchanged for cash or for
stamps of smaller denomination. Then
Mr.. Harris summoned A. +. Meador,
chief clerk of the stamp division
I'VE sell about 100 OF them each
year for use as postage on irstciass
matter, mailed to foreign countries,
said Mr.. Meador. THE foreign rate
is double that applying to domestic
matter. The stamps are purchased
principally by corporations having
stockholders abroad Reports printed
in book form are mailed as first-class
matter to these stockholders"

was among the first to reach his ears,
for the townspeoplc had not yet ceased
to gossip concerning the event, IN fact
he had scarcely gained the gate OF his
village before he was surrounded by a
group of neighbors who poured into
his interested ear all the story OF
Naomi's life and misfortunes in the
land OF Moab, and Of her having lost
husband and cons there, and of her re-
turn in sorrow and poverty to the old
home she had left over ten years be-

SERMONETTE.

q love."-These words of Peter to
Christians refer to the Christ,
. and are strikingly pertinent in
d connection with this story of
4 the of Ruth and Boaz.
q This noble and high-minded
q man., Boaz, had heard of the
q self-sacrifice and devotion OF
q Ruth, the Moabitish woman, and
q his appreciation of true goodness
g and worth had aroused in his
heart an admiration, yea, a love,
g which could have had no other
SEQUEL than that which this beau
:: tifuI love story untolds.
: 1t is a splendid thing to have
; a heart which is sensitive to the
qualities of real goodness. Our
perceptions of worthy qualities
in others are SO modified and
tempered by the external and su-
! rerficiaI conditions of wealth
a and social position, that many a
d human flower of the rarest pur-
d ity and grace and beauty is born
d to blush unseen and unknown in
q the busy, occupied world about.
q 1t is easy to see the virtues of
d those to whom we may look fer
q favors, but we have little thought
d or time to spend upon the n
q who in his humble, narrow
q sphere is living nobIy, heroicaI-
. Iy, subIimely.
y To most of the people in
y Bethlehem Noami and Ruth were
but poor, needy unfortunates. To
the former the surprised word
of greeting on her return was
spoken, and sympathy express
ed, and then she was forgotten.
For the latter there was the
curious, wondering gaze OF the
: neighboro ind friends and towns
people Of Naomi, and the un-
: spoken query as to why shs had
q come and what she had hope Of
q gaining.
q But to one person at least in
Bethlehem there came an Appre-
citation of the purity and
strength of character of Ruth.
9 He heard of Naomi's return, and
being a kinsman of her dead
husband he might have felt an
noyed at the thought that here
was a poverty-strfcken relative
who would make drafts on his
bounty. He heard of the coming
of the daughter-in-law, and he
might have listened to ths un-
kindly criticism which must
have been dropped as the
strange woman from a strange
q land came into their midst. What
q scheme had she in coming?
What selfish purpose had she
q to serve? Suspicion of her mo-
. tives and contempt fer her ma
tionaIity and her poverty might
have so prejudiced his mind as
to blind him to the rare woman
~ virtues which she possessed.
But his love for real goodness
was so keen and genuine, and
his high-minded judgments so
free from bias and impure mo-
tives that he was able to under.
stand fully "alI that Ruth had
DONE" and though he had not
seen her, he loved her. His was
not a sentimental, supe rficial
love. 1t was such a love as only
a good, pure, strong heart can
feel as it finds those qualities in
another, for purity loves purity;
goodness loves goodness.
