and tatters, he was forced to relate the
days adventure; but his mothers in
dignation knew no bounds.
will you subject your beloved son
to such treatment as that?" she cried
with flashing eyes.
"Do him good" said her spouse
shortly.
A fierce resentment had succeeded
Algernon's first stunned surprise at
the suddenness of the attack, and this
resentment had been growing all
through the night and the following
morning BY the time the bell rang for
recess Algernon was keyed up to the
pitch of revenging his wrong. He was
afraid of the Biggest Boy, but he felt
that the family honor must be vindi-
Gated. So he walked up to the bully
when he reached the school yard and
with trembling lips announced:
You've got to fight me-"
The bully was not used to receiving
challenges in Just that tone of voice
He marked the trembling lips and the
pale cheeks.
"A-ww-w!" he growled, and struck
Algernon across the mouth. Then
Algernon saw red. He did not know
exactly what followed, but for a space
the world seemed to stand still while
he and the Biggest Boy did things
Presently shout went up, and to his
surprise he saw his enemy upon the
ground.
1t was Algernon who was repri
manded by Teacher that afternoon
but there was twinkle in Teachers
eye and Algernon could not help but
feel, in spite of her rebuke, that she
was secretly rejoiced at the downfall
of the bully.
That afternoon Algernon, in worse
case than ever as to his apparel, was
escorted to the door by his admirinf
followers. His parents, hearing the
clamor from afar, came out to meet
him.
"Oh, my poor boy!" cried his moth
er, weeping upon Algernon's shoulder
But his father grinned

the REBELLION
OF ALGERNOk

Algernon had been escorted TO and
from fashionable school for young
ladies and children, by a nurse. until
he reached the age of IL. Then his
father rebelled
81 won't have a mollycoddle in the
family" he said; that boy must go
to public school,"
His mother held up hands of horror
at this suggestion, but the father (who
seldom put his foot down unless 1t was
put there to stay carried his point,
and Algernon, after being duly brand
ed with a vaccination mark, Joined
the common herd in school room
with two score other boys.
"Wot's yer name?" asked the Big
gest Boy, coming to him at recess.
Upon his answering in a meek
small voice. "Algernon," howl went
up from the mob.
Come on, fellers; it's q dude!" ex-
claimed the Biggest Boy A rough and
tumble scrimmage followed. The boys
rumpled Algernon's carefully brushed
hair, mauled his collar, rolled him in
the dust to the detrinent of his cor
rectly tailored garments and generally
maltreated him. He was only saved
from further injury by the bell that
announced the end of recess.
Algernop was Inundated as well as
dishevelled, and it was small comfort
TO have Teacher, who had seen the on
slaught from the school room window
call the Biggest Boy up to her desk
and reprimand him before the class.
And If he touches you again you re-
port II to me-" she added, turning to
Algernon. The teacher meant well
enough, but Algernon felt that he had
been branded Sissy and thought,
too, that he discerned a hint of con-
tempt under the protecting tones Of
teachers voice.
His father looked at him in disgust.

The Choice Is Made.

The Washington dispatches tell US
that Representative Clark of Missouri
created an unprecedent scene in the
bouse of representatives Tuesday when
he announced that it is the purpose
of the Democratic party to nominate
William j. Bryan for president. The
Democratic members received his
declaration with demonstration of
applause in which many Republican
members joined.
There is, however, nothing startling
in the news from Washington, though
it serves to emphasize the fact that
determination to name Mr.. Bryan for
its standard bearer. A few conserva-
tive Democrats have been trying to
make themselves and the country be-
lieve that there is opposition in the
Democratic party to Mr.. Bryan's lead
ership. but if they were all assembled
in one room, they would not consti-
tute y quorum of any representative
gathering. They are the three tailors
of Tooley street reincarnated. Elm
mate Joseph Pulitzer. Col. George
Harvey and the major or whatever
he is that is in the editorial harness
at Charlestown, S. c., and nothing
would be left to the anti-Bryan agita-
ton in the Democratic party
The talk of having Bryan step aside
for another candidate is the veriest
rubbish. Bryan hasn't anything to
say about it. The Democrats of the
United States are going to nominate
him because he is the man that they
want. If they didn't want him he
could not get the nomination if be got
down on his knees and begged for it.
The nomination to the Office of presi-
dent is not for any man to trifle with
to take or reject at his pleasure.
Mr.. Bryan has not sought this great
honor at the hands of his fellow Demo-
Gratis. They have been free to make
their choice and having made it, he is
bound by every consideration of honor
and obligation that the institution of
popular government imposes to bow to
their mandate He is an instrument of
their will and it is not for him or any
other man to say them nay. Milwau-
