Gossip of RaiIwaymen

No, SIR" exclaimed a prominent
member of the Transportation club. the
borrowing habit is not confined to the
poor man.
II am impelled to the belief that it
is also one of the prerogatives of the
wealthy. In the course of a long career,
catering to the whims and the fancies
of millionaires, 1 have been enabled to
form an accurate opinion of the char
acters of this peculiar class.
II have known millionaires who
made 1T a practice never to carry
cent. through fear that in an unguarded
moment they might give away nickel
in charity, and at the same time un-
blushingly borrowed money right and
left in the way of nickels, dimes and
quarters.
The most interesting specimen of the
borrowing millionaire is western rail-
road president.
THAT man is the most perfect bor-
rover in the world. All he carries
papers, and when he meets man, with
whom he has a bowling acquaintance,
he will observe, casually:

bacco. Could you spare me some%
TT is his point to ask some poor
man. who is only too proud to assist
a millionaire in distress.
His own set are always in the same
distressing fix when he is around They
know him too well to be purveyor to
his wants
DO you know it got so bad at one
time that he never carried a pocket
handkerchief and borrowed one when
occasion arose"
No. of course he never returned 1t.
You don't believe me, eh?
That is enough.
IF he ever comes to town I'll make
it point of introducing him. and you
will have to put up the tobacco or the
car fare. or a pocket handkerchief.
"By the way, 1T would not be bad
thing to bring him up to this club.
Some of the youngsters here might be
accommodating to a railroad president,
and his example might teach them a
lesson how to practice economy in small
things"

BRYAN ADDRESSES
IMMENSE CROWD
HE is THE STELLAR ATTRACTlON
AT MINNESOTA'S BIG Ex-
POSITION.
Fully 10000 People Gather to Hear
Him Discourse on National Issues.
After Speaking He Shook Hands
All Around.

ST. Paul, Sept. 1.-Itwas Bryan day
at the state fair yesterday when fully
10000 people gathered to hear the ell
oquent Nebraskan.
At 6:12 mighty shout arose as
Bryan and Gov. Johnson, National
Committeeman Lynch aud others of
the Bryan party appeared, preceded
by squadron of police, who made
way through the throng.
Gov. Johnson was first on the plat
form. He gave the hand of fellow
ship to Bryan up the steps and the
crowd rose and cheered for several
minutes while Bryan and Johnson
bowed from, right to left to the gath
cred throng.
President Nelson of the state fair
introduced Gov. Johnson and Mr..
Bryan and Gov. johnson introdt ced
Bryan as the presidential candidate
of the Democrats and "the country's
greatest orator."
MIR. Bryan mounted a chair and,
with hand outstretched to quiet the
multitude, stood for several minutes,
acknowledging the cheers of his ad-
mirerers, before launching into his
speech.
He began by thanking the fair as
ISOLATION for the invitation and said
that he had made it rule not to ad.
dress state fairs, but that this was an
exception for several reasons, princi-
pally because it gave him probably
the only opportunity he would have
to meet the people of the Northwest
and because this is the biggest state
fair in the country.
He eulogized Gov. johnson in the
beginning. He spoke at length on
all the planks of his platform, and
the burden of his speech was care
fully couched appeal to the Republi-
cans of the country to put him in
power that most of the policies put
through and advocated by Roosevelt
may be perpetuated by Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan left last night for Fargo
and Grand Forks.
