WORLD BLAMEs BRYAN.

Says He Must Have Been Familiar
With Haskells Record.
From the New York World. Sept III
The main fault to be found with
Governor Haskells resignation as
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee Is that 1t came week too
late.
Haskell should have been forced out
at once, and Mr.. Bryan should never
have challenged Mr. Roosevelt to
prove the Hearst charges or any other
charges against the Oklahoma govern
or. Mr.. Bryan must have known Has.
kell's record when he assumed per-
sonal responsibility for the man. II
he did not It was because he had
chosen to be "a fugitive from informa-
ton" It was Inevitable that the mo-
ment Mr.. Roosevelt succeeded In max
Ing an issue Of Haskell's record the
Democratic organization would be
compelled to drop him. The attempt
to defend him was sorry political
biunder.

Ii was several years ago that some
amateur scientist prophesied the world
was drying up, aud in ten million years,
if our memory has run correctly, the
earth would part with its last drop of
water. AS might be expected there
were those who were inclined so poke
fun at the idea, but still If that same
man should show up now and put us in
mind that 81 told you SC" possibly some
would take it more seriously. Laying
aside joking and coming down to facts,
which are indeed stubborn things, it
must be ad mitted that the earth, or this
section of it at any rate, is the dryest it
has been within the memory of the old
est inhabitant, assuming that to be the
proper term to use, and it remains to be
seen how long it is to continue thus, and
growing more 80 every day.
Jack Frost got in some OF his best
work recently, and while it had the ef-
feet to kill of the new crop of black
flies and mosquitoes, it drove myriads OF
other flies into the house, and nothing
but tanglefoot can keep them thinned
out.
After combating consumption for
three months it finally accomplished lts
deadly work on Mrs. Lily Day last Fri
day as before noticed. She was a great
sufferer during the last few weeks, but
endured it all like true Christian, and
without word of complaint. Saturday
afternoon Mr.. McKinsey offered prayer
and a few remarks, after which the
undertaken, Alva Andrews, took the
remains to the Pond, where they were
put on the cars and carried to Var
mouthville, her former home, accom-
panied by her husband, who left his
children in the care of Cora Morgan and
Mrs. Newton Bryant. Monday, Mr.. Day
returned taking his sister along with him
where he will remain for while.
And now it is Lyman Herrick who is
the lucky man. The other day he went
into the woods chopping, and during the
day shot two yearlings, both does, and
just fat enough to make good easy eat
ing.
More charming than ever, If possible,
are the variegated forests now, as the
sun shines upon them in all his splendor,
and IL distance doesn't "lend enchant-
ment to the view," neither does it de-
tract from it.
