Mary Was SPOILED.

A doctor In one OF the West Phila-
delphia chlldren's homes tells the
story OF a woman who came to him
one day In a most perturbed state Of
mind She had taken home her daugh-
ter OF 1--WE years the week previous,
after a stay Of year In the home,
and found she had an elephant on her
hands. "oh, sir" she said to the doc
tor, whatever can / do with Mary?
You have made her far too grand for
her own home. Why. the first day she
was back she refused to be dressed In
the morning till she had bath; then
she would eat no breakfast whatever
because she wanted fruit and some
serious food FIRST, and, last OF all, she
put 4 saucer Of water at her place at
the table and she dips her fingers in
that every few minutes. Sure, doctor.
! don't know what I'll do" and the
woman passed out. shaking her head
MS II the problem was certainly too
much for her.-P Philadelphia Record

TOM WATSON
WARNS PETTIGREW
Says That he Knows Nothing
About Republican Com
tPibutions.

ATLANTA, Ca. Sept. 2s.--In re-
ply to the charges Of former United
States Senator Pettigrew, Thomas
Watson last night issued the follow
ing statement:
THE reason why Bryan has put
forward Pettigrew to attack me Is
that my exposures Of organs deals
with the negro leaders and with
saloon interests Of Main. Indiana and
Ohio are hurting the peerless one.
The deals are disgracefuI and ought
to be exposed The Bryan policy
on the negro question threatens cal
amitons consequences to the south
and endangers the result OF the 80
years Of work TO establish white
supremacy. and therefore I feel 1t
to be duty ia expose and denounce
1t.
AS TO PettIgrew, shall not notice
him further than to say II anybody
ever offered him $4,000 for 10
speeches on any earthly subject the
man who made the Offer was more
literally supplied with money than
with sense. In 1904 ] made my
campaign for the principles which the
ticket OF Bryan and Watson advo-
Gated In 1896. Bryan has deserted
his principles and has gone over to
the gold-standard men, The popuIists
called on me TO take up the Jefferson
Ian propaganda where Bryan had left
II on and | did so. Republican
money had nothing to do with 1t.
IN my speeches and my letter OF
accatance ! hammered both old par
ties with strenuous imDartiallty. The
speeches are OF record and speak for
themselves.
Wall street Funds.
Whether Roosevelt managers gave
financial aid to those who managed
the populist campaign ] neither know
nor care. Everybody who knows any
thing In aware Of the fact that the
campaign funds Of both the old par
ties came from practically the same
source. The benehciaries OF class
legislation, the national banks OF the
centers, the Wall street element OF
both leading parties these are con-
trlbutors 10 campaign funds, and we
an know e.
Bryan knows that the party cam
paign fund Of 1904 was raised by
these Wall street elements Of his
party. He said so to me and In pub.
ne speeches and written editorials.
Yot he himself did not hesitate TO
use that campaign fund. II was the
money Of Ryan and Belmont in his
campaign for Parker,
According to Bryan himself the
source q the campaign fund OF Judge
Parker was certainly not legs tainted
than was that Of the campaign fund
Of Roosevelt Ilryans own brother
and brother-in-law got 49, OO Of the
Parker funds and violated the law OF
Nebraska By their failure to render
81 account Of what went with II.
That $4,000 came from August Bel
mont and Thomas r. Ryan. two Of the
most notorious OF corporation crimi-
nails and corrnptlonists and although
Bryan said that he would refund the
money he has not done so.
Before Bryan fires on his man
Pettigrew at me again he had better
DO one Of two things Either dis
gorge Ryan and Delmont's $4,000 or
explain what became OF 1t.
