WHO THEY WILL BE

No one who has followed the trend Of political events was at all surprised at MT. Bryan's recent announcement that be would again be candidate for the presidency A keen and cultured polt- uclsn shls man Bryan. He knows tha, |. Is all important that candidacy be s5rung at the right time, and he could DO, have chosen a more opporLune mo- nenl to make his declaration of being willing to again go before the people. The democrats have no one on whom they can mite for a standard bearer and. for that matter, neither have the republicans. Taft is considered as a fozs and Fairbanks Is impossible. Look ing at the field from g distance the con- cluslon forces itself upon those who have watched the progress of theskirm- lshes which always come before the big conventions that Bryan, because the democrats have DO other candidate, and Roosevelt, because iJ is doubtful fl he can escape being nominated by the con- yentlon, whether or not he wants it, will be the opposing candidates. Shrewd campaiguer that he is, 1t is hard to see where AIr. Bryan figures be will stand any show, nn,ess he is foolish enough to believe that by mak. Ing this tue third time that be has been before the people be will win under the old saw that there is luck jn odd numbers.

ITS NOW

Peary Will ilN0rth ward For The
 Last Time

New York, Aug. 5-Commander Robert E. Peary, who practically has completed arrangements for his fifth dash for the north pole, it was said to day, has determined to succeed this time or give up the quest forever. Yet he has extreme confidence that this time he will place the American flag at the magnetic point.
 Peary hopes to sail for the north within ten days. Supplies are going aboard the Roosevelt and her crew of fishermen have been asked 10 report.
 The last time he succeeded in getting within I74 miles of the goal and then was forced to turn back.
 " When I leave the ship be sajd "I will strike westward in the dash across the polar basin. The drii, oI the ice is to .he eastward, which was one of the important things l discover ed on rho last voyage. It will carry me to the pole Heretofore the geuer- al impression of explorers was that the ice drift was westward, but we found Il just the reverse.
 III think my course will carry me di rectly to the pole. Then I mean tc strike directly for the north coas. o. Greenland, from which 1t will be onIy a few miles across the channel to ths aorth shore of Grant Land, where ths Roosevelt will be in her winter quarters"
 When he steams out Of the East River Peary will sail directly for North Sid ney. There be win pick up his Eski. mo men and women and his dogs. H, will take ou his last supply of coal a Etah, and after leaving that point bc will be entirely cut of from communl. cation with the rest of the world.

TENNEYS CLEVER TRICK.
Boston National Captain Has a Scheme
 to Block Sacrifice Hit.

to Block Sacrifice Hit.
 Fred Penney and hls Boston Natiou- al players have developed a play that needs looking into and before the sga. suu Is over will ba used by every club lu the country. This play blocks the sacrifice. something almost impossible under the old tactics
 With runner ou second and first and no one Dug the batters play is to sacrifice and move both men up a base. As soon as the ball is bmtcd toward third the third basrman ruslcs for the bull. and at the same time the snortstOp digs out for third base. h. stead of throwing to first, the usual move. the third bascmau turns about and throws to the shorlstop, who has covered the third bag.
 AS the runner doesut need to be touched. 1t makes the play sure and easy for the umpire To decide.
 With the play properly completed there are still two on bases aud one out alrh the runners stationary, as before
 Penney Is given credit for thinking this play out. and it Is a peach.
 The Boston club has played 1t twice, once In Philadelphia and again at Boston, and in each Instance the op- posing team was dumfounded by the ease with which 1t was worked.

The Separate Waist Still in Popular Favor.

The decline In favor Of the separate waist has been predicted year after year. and still each season 1T reappears in new and attractive forms. and continues to hold Its own 10 popular favor It is really Indispensable for wear with the tailored suit. and this fall several new models have appeared that are especially de- signed for wear with the cloth street gown.

In morn Ing attire this Is not so noticeable. as the white washable shirt continues in favor for morning use, but the more elab- crate blouse Is so trimmed that 1t Is an essential part of the gown to which it belongs and cannot be worn with any other frock. For Instance, many of the new blouses are especially designed for wear with a coat and skist of broadcioth, and are made of nlet net or lace dyed the same color, with strappings or cut pieces of the cloth of which the suit Is made introduced about the lower part of the bodice.

This cutwork Is not at all difficult to make and is very inexpensive trimming.

Investing
Methods of the Bucket-Shops.

Tn the industrial. mining and other lures that are framed up to gently sep arate Investors from their money. comes the bucket-shOp. than which none Is more pernicious or persistent. In the fake or shaky stock. there Is this difference, It appeals 10 actual. even If foolish inves- tors. The bucket-shop habitue Is no more an investor than the man who places his money with a bookmaker on l0-to-l shot on the ponies. In fact. the parallel Is absolute. "Bucket-shopping" means that. not the actual buying of stock. but that The operator bets against his GUS toner on the rise or fall of stocks, just as the ''bookle'' bets against a favoritc on the race track.
 As Il famous eplgramist Of Wall street once said:
 There Is as much difference between a genuine broker and a bucket-shop op- orator as there Is between a national bank and q faro bank"
 With lnhnteslIEal exceptions. those who patrOniZe bucket-shOps, buy stocks on margin. A margin usually means putting up 10 per cent or less of the actual value of the stock that you are then supposed" to own. This game appeals to the small trader who puts up from one to a hun dred dollars at a time-and thereby gains the privilege to bet or the movement of stocks worth ten or twenty times that amount If this stock goes up you will make a little money, if it goes down. the broker calls on you for margin As such a slump goes on, the calls for more money continue 10 protect" your stocks The moment you fall to meet this de- manG. you are wiped out" and lose all
