preparing a defense which he will sub

not seem 10 dampen his spirits.

Married on Wheel.

Kansas City, Mo.-Car No. G79,
bound for Fifteenth and Main street,
left the West Side end of the line at
1906 o'clock. At Sixth street and
Minnesota avenue two men and a
woman boarded it. One of the men
was middle aged and wore a mustache.
The other man and the woman each
appeared to be twenty-five or twenty
three years old. They carried valises.
The middle-aged man sat on the last
double seat, with the pair directly in
front of him.
When the car approached the state
line, running over the intercity via
duct, the elder man left his seat and
addressed the conductor, Percy Zinn.
Conductor, what's your name?" he
asked.
What do you want to know for?"
asked the street car man in surprise.
WELL" said the other, I'm going
to perform a marriage ceremony. L

giving his name.
The minister returned to his seat
and produced book. He read the
marriage ceremony and the pair in
front of him gave the responses with
out turning around. None of the ten
or twelve other passengers on the car
knew that marriage was going on.
The ceremony was concluded before
the car reached the east end of the
viaduct. No one kissed the bride, nor
did the bridegroom give her ring.
The conductor did not see a marriage
license. Neither did the minister nor
the witness receive fees on the car.
AT Sixth and Bluff streets the three
left the car and started towards the
Union depot.
Good luck to you, old man. the
bridegroom called to the conductor.
Same to you, shouted the conduc-
tor.
The minister nodded, the bride
smiled and the car went on.

THE POLITICAL POT SINNERS.
Bryan Won't Run With Roosevelt, but
May Run Against Him.

Chicago.-William Jennings Bryan
arrived in Chicago and in statement
of his views made at the Press Club
struck away all moorings that might
unite the political destinies of himself
and Theodore Roosevelt in the cam
paign of 1908. Bryan declared un-
equivocally that nothing except jug
gliAs of words could make it appear
that another term for the President
would be second term instead of a
third. He made it plain that II Roose-
welt should be renominated the oppo-
sition to third term would loom up
as an issue, and reasserted his declara-
tion that the President recognized the
objection in his statement on election
night, 1904.
Mr.. Bryan was silent regarding
Roger c. Sullivan and a fight upon the
Democratic state committee. He said
that he for the present had said all
that he cared to say on that subject.
What Is your attitude toward run
ming for President on the Democratic
ticket?" was asked Mr.. Bryan.
Il have not reached point where
have made up my mind concerning
my own position in the coming cam
paign. All l can say is that l much
appreciate the confidence expressed by
such resolutions as those drawn by the
Jefferson Club. l do not feel like TAX

Steps to Fortune.

modest, unassuming young busi-

himself for such unexpected promo.
lion. His friends, however, and those
who had been watching his career
knew that, unconsciously. he had been
preparing for his promotion ever since
he took job as an errand boy In an
office Indeed, If he had had the posi-
ton to which he has been advanced In
mind from the outset, and If every
step he took had been directed toward
it, he could not have adopted more
effective means for the attainment of
his end. AS a boy. this young en-
ploye did not wait to be told things, or
to do this or that when 1t was obvious
that it should be done. He found out
all he could for himself by observation,
by keeping his eyes and cars open, and
by being constantly on the alert to
increase his knowledge; and he al
ways did whatever he saw needed to
be done. without waiting for orders.
He did everything that was given him
TO do as well as he possibly could do
It. He did not wait for big opportuni-
lies. but found his chance in every lit
.le thing that came his way. In every
act he performed he found chance
TO be prompt, businesslike and polite.
In every letter he wrote he found an
opportunity for self-culture, for learn
Ing how to be concise and how to eS-
press himself in the clearest and pur-
est English. He found an opportunity
for neatness and order in filing away
papers and in keeping the office clean
and tidy. These, remarks the New
York Weekly, are few of the steps
which led to his rapid promotion, al
though when he was taking them he
was not conscious that he was laying
the foundation of his career broad and
deep.

Our Immiqrants,

No migration in history is compare
Bile to the great Ihordes that have
crossed the Atlantic during the past
20 years to enter our territory, says
National Geographic Magazine. In
1905, 1,O26,499 immigrants were ad-
mitted; in 1906. 1,1OO,7S5, and in the
present year the total will exceed the
record of 1906 by many thousands.
Since June 80, 1900. 100000 have
been admitted, of whom probably s.
100000 have settled permanently in
the United States. The report of Mr..
Sargent for 1906, recently issued. con-
tains much interesting information
about the character and qualifications
of the immigrants. Perhaps the most
striking fact is that less than five per
cent. of the newcomers have reached
or passed the age of 45. OF the arriv-
ais in 1906. 913,955 ranged in age
from IA to "A. 136,273 were less than
IA years of age. and only 0,507 had
reached or passed the age of As. More
than two-thirds of the immigrants
were males. the figures being 764,4
men and boys and 336,272 women and
girls. About rs per cent of the total
humber were illiterate, which is a.
very large proportion when We con-
slider that only 6.2 per cent of the
Total white population of the United
States and only 4.6 per cent. of the
iative-born whites in 1900 were illit-
