IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Prosperous West.

The west seems to have felt the panic of last fall very slightly" said J. s. Benning of St. Louis. and the south as rule is in a prosperous con- dition. I am not familiar with the business situation in the east, but even if hard times are in evidence in that section the rest of the country will make good average.
 St. Louis was never more prosper ous than it is today, and nearly all cities west of us are pushing ahead as if there had been no halt in business"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New 4 orl Press.
 The reason a girl likes to fiirt is so she can pretend she isn't.
 There's hardly any surer way to have money than being where you can't spend it.
 If people didn't nave to pay taxes they'd get up some, other grievance just as strong.
 When a man wants you to do some thing for him he always begins by telling you how we'll you look.
 A woman is mighty clever to be inter- ested In mans conversation when she doesn't understand what he is talking about any more than he does.

A COUNTRY GRAVEYARD.

Iris desolate spot, where the pine trees
 sigh
 And a wind mourns over the graves, And a listless road winds drearily by In the gloam of the forest naves. The grass grows thick on forgotten
 mounds
 And moss creeps over the tombs, And the years flow on in their ceaseless
 rounds
 And the snows are followed by blooms. A lesson is taught by the crumbling
 stones
 And the dust that lies below, Far off from the world and it's strident
 tones
 And the wrack of the storms that blow. And the theme is mans immortality And the pitiful race we run, With never a glimpse of the yet-to-be Till the peace of the grave is won.

Bryan Men Active.


 The Bryan adherents under the leader ship of Augustus Thomas, were not idle during the day and with the prize of the New York delegates in sight, they pre- pared numerous plans to capture them. The leaders opposed to any instructed delegation took cognizanee of the united font which MT. Bryans friends were put ting forward and it was deemed advis- able to have a special committee of the resolutions committee consider the claims of MT. Bryans friends for an in- structed delegation. This subcommittee, E made up of John F. Brennan of West chester, chairman: Norman D. Mack of Erie, H. A. Reeves of Suffolk, William Townsend of Nassau, Albert Hernburg of Albany, State Senator Thomas F. Grady of New York and City Comptroller Her man Metz, met tonight.
 MT. Mack submitted to the committee the resolutions drawn by the Bryan Pro- gressive Democratic league committees which were made public last night. A letter from Augustus Thomas was read and following a long discussion MT Thomas was permitted to appear before the subcommittee and make an appeal. The subcommittee then decided by a vote of to l. to report to the resolu- tions committee against an instructed del egation for MT. Bryan.
 With the fight for MT. Bryan now be- fore the whole committee on resolutions the Bryan forces declared that if the committee adopted the resolution of the subcommittee final effort would be made to bring before the convention a minority report which would bring the issue squarely before the 906 delegates
