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

Chicago.-William Jennings Bryan

unite the political destinies of himself

would be second term instead of a
third. He made it plain that If Roose-
welt should be renominated the oppo-
sition to a 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 G. Sullivan and fight upon the
Democratic state committee. He said
that he for the present had said all
that he cared to say on that subject.

Pelllsson, the famous French histo-

he was walking down the street a
beautiful lady took him by the hand
and conducted him into a house close
by. Dazzled by the lady's charms and
fiattering himself that this adventure
could not possibly entail any unpleas-
ant consequences, he had not tho
strength to offer any resistance. His
fair captOr introduced him to the mas
ter Of the house, saying:

Driven to desperation by their heavy
losses, gamblers have often sought by
some coup either to repair their shat
tered fortunes or to bvlng down utter
ruin upon themselves. Ono OF the most
curious Instances OF this kind comes
from England. In the eighteenth centu-
~ a notorious gambler had been los
ing steadily In game for high stakes
with Lord Lorne, Exasperated by his
continued III fortune, he suddenly
sprang up from the card table, seized
large and costly punch bowl and,
balancing 1t above his head, called out
to his opponent;
"For once I'll have bet where |
have an equal chance Of winning! Odd
or even, for $4,000 guineasp
"oddp replied the peer placldly. and
the gambler hurled the magnificent
bowl against the wall.
When they counted the pieces Lord
Lorne had wOn.-Tuesday Magazine.

Toad superstitions.

Superstitions as to toads having been
early inculcated, 1t has been exceed
ingly difficult TO get rid of them. One
remnant of this ancient credulity still
exists. 1t Is In regard to the absolute
imperishable character of the toad.
There are well educated Americans
who believe that toad hops out alive
from slab Of stone though he has
been imprisoned there for several mill
lions Of years. We give in brief DIR.
Buckland's experiments with toads in
1925. He took twelve toads and had
the toads put in twelve cells cut in
sandstone, and over these he put plates
of glass. They were buried In a gar
den for over year. When exhumed
they were all dead. Then some were
put In porous sandstone, and at the
end Of year few were found great
ly emaciated." When buried for an
other year, they all died. Toads were
inclosed In wood, and they all died.
The conclusion is that, deprived of at
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If toad as a tadpole could have
entered a crevice in a rock, 1t might
have grown, but would have died In
time for want Of air and food. This
toad nonsense is so ineradlcabIe that 1t
is supposable 1t never can be dissi-
pated.

A miss and n Find.

II was the habit of the Rev. James
Sturgeon, grandfather Of the great
preacher of that name, to pray each
evening under a certain oak tree In a
secluded wood In Honeywood park.
One night he dreamed, the story goes,
that Satan appeared and threatened
to tear him In pieces II he followed his
accustomed route to the tree. There
was another path by which he might
80 ia safety. Remembering his dream,
Spurgeon felt sorely tempted the next
night TO take the route In which Satan
was not. But this would be to capt.
ulate. Trembling In every limb, he
made his way by the path in which the
danger lay. He reached his goal In
safety and In prayer and song returned
thanks for delivery from peril When
his prayer had ended he rose to re-
turn. In his path lay a piece of solid
gold "as large as curtain ring" All
inquiry falling to discover an owner,
he retained 1t and when he married had
his wlfe's wedding ring made from his
curious find
