When Bryan spoke in Baltimore he
could not fail to remember that for the
first time In the history of the party Its
presidential candidate is without news

Transcript.
The fact that Bryan is rich and Taft
poor should not be allowed to operate
to Taft's disadvantage. Taft was serv-
ing the people at modest salary while
Bryan was accommodating his riches.--

WILL VOTE FOR BRYAN.
Times Too Prosperous for One Kan
sns Farmer, He Says.

sns Farmer, He Says.
A Saline County farmer, who came
to the country in the early days and
accumulated six or eight hundred acres
OF farm lands, who has raised lots of
wheat and corn and always voted the
Republican ticket national, state and
county, declares that he is going to vote
for Bryan this year, says the Salna
(kan.) Journal. His argument Is a
peculiar one and from Democratic
standpoint is good one. Mr.. Farmer
says he Is land hungry and wants more
Kansas lands, but because it is too high
he is unable to acquire 1t. He declares
that the price of wheat is too high. and
likewise the price or corn. With low
er price on wheat and corn and other
farm products the price of farm lands
is bound to decline and when the price
has been reduced he will be enabled to
purchase more farms.
Mr.. Farmer says the election Of Bry-
an Is sure to reduce prices on every
thing-wheat, corn, rye, alfalfa. oats.
hogs. poultry AMI farm hatds and the
land itself.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM.
New York World Says 1t Is Framed
In the Interests of PIutocracy.
(From the New York World.)

tfrOm tue NeW 1Ork NOr4u.)
Mr. Mack must share the amazement
of the World over pretended Demo
cratic platform which, while reiterat-
ing Its abiding faith in the princi-
pies Of Democracy as against plutocra-
cy," is framed in the interests OF the
very plutocracy it processes to de-
nounce.
1t is platform for the protection
of Wall street gamblers; for the pro-
lection OF insurance criminals; for the
protection of traction thieves; for the
protection OF Ryan-Harriman stock-job-
bers; for the protection OF rich tax
dodgers; for the protection of preda-
tory corporations. 1t is a betrayal OF
Democratic principles; ii is betrayal
of the Democratic party; it is be-
trayal OF the Democratic masses.
Standing before the people on such
a platform. and on such a platform
alone. no Democratic candidate could
be elected to office either in New York
or In any State north of Mason and
Dixon's line. Fortunately for the
Rochester nominees, most of them
have public records which give the
lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions.

La Toilette on Taft.

Mature gave him poise, judi
cial temperament, great force Of
character and tenacity Of pur-
pose" said the Senator. His
long life In the public service Is
distinguishing for its marked
ability, its wisdom, its integrity,
its patriotism. He has taken ad-
vanced grounds on the great is-
sues that are engaging the pro-
foundest thought of the people
Of this great country.
Now from somewhat inti-
mate acquaintance with him for
the last twenty years say that
he is progressive in principle and
he is equipped most wonderfully
in experience.
The Senator then reviewed Mr..
Tafts career for the last ten
years, when, he said, he had been
called on to advise by two Presl.
dents on questions Of government
which gave them the greatest
concern.

trusts, root and branch. If Mr. Bry-
ans language rs more than mere rhet-
oric and he means to seize the prop

pieces, and dissemble the parts, then
am not in favor of his method OF deal
ing with trusts, because l believe that
such large combinations legitimately
conducted greatly add to the prosperity

Hitherto our national policy has been
one OF almost unrestricted disposal OF

ish measure than by any other nation
In the worlds history and this policy
of the federal government has been
shared by the constituent States. Three
| consequences have ensued First, un-
| precedented consumption OF natural re-
| sources: second. exhaustion OF these
resources to the extent that large
| part Of our available public lands have
| passed into great estates or corporate
| interests, our forests are so far depict
ed as 20 multiply the cost OF forest
products. and our supplies OF coal and
hance prices; and third. unequalled op-
portunity for private monopoly, to the
extent that both the federal and State
sovereigntles have been compelled TO
enact laws for the protection OF the
people.
1--WE are OF opinion that the time has
come for considering the policy Of con-
serving these material resources on
which the permanent prosperity Of our
country and the equal opportunity OF
all our people must depend; we are also
OF opinion that the policy of conserva-
tion has SO marked an advance on that

Animal Maternal Instinct.

II have a young retriever, GENTLE
we'll bred, handsome" says CORE
spondent of an English paper. "Her
kindly disposition has won her much
popularity, and she is loved by the
family cat, the green Amazon par
rot and the village children. A few
days ago some poor little superflu-
Gus Aberdeen puppies had to be
drowned. But when the man went
to get the little bodies to give them
a decent burial two had mysterious
ly vanished from the pail in which
they had found watery grave. For
a long time We searched in vain,
much puzzled at the unaccountable
disappearance, until a servant vol
untecred the information that Mag
gle had two little dogs in her bed.'
And here we found them, two little
corpses, licked clean and dry and
gently laid side by side on the straw.
She had fished them out of the pail,
carried them there and apparently
done all she could to revive them.
She has never had any puppies Of
her own, so this seems a curious in
stance Of maternal instinct"

ARTIFICIAL EYES,
They Were Made BY the Ancient Re-.
mans and Egyptians.
It is not exactly known when al

1t is not exactly known when and
where artificial eyes first came into
use. But this much is certain, that
in ancient times Egyptian and Ro-
man priests. who practleed medicine
and surgery, could make artificial
eyes as we'll as artificial hands, arms
and legs. In Egypt they knew this
art as earl y as 500 B. c.
The method Of these eve manu-
fac,urers was very simple. In the
midst OF flesh colored piece Of
cloth, one and one-half to two and
one-qUarter inches in size. piece Of
clay Of the natural size OF the hu-
man eye was attached and so paint
ed over as to represent the eye and
its lid. This piece Of cloth was fix
ed over the socket OF the closed eve
by means of an adhesive substance.
However primitive these eyes, they
were highly valued and were worn
by the Egyptians and Romans. An
eye OF this kind was found in the
ruins Of Pompeii.
The first known mention of mod
ern artificial eyes-i. e., eyes worn
within the sockets contained in
rare illustrated work published by
the French surgeon Pare in 1861,
Pare invented three kinds of artii-
cial eyes. The first consisted of q
thin metal band placed around the
head Of the wearer. One end was
provided with a small oval plate
covering the socket, the other end
being fastened to the back of the
head. The plate was covered with
soft, smooth leather, on which an
eye was painted. Pare's second in
vention consisted of an enameled
hollow golden ball in the shape Of
an eve worn within the socket. The
third was an eve in shape like that
worn today. but made Of gold and
enamel. These eyes were, of course,
very costly, and only the wealthy
could afford to avail themselves Of
them.
Later eyes were made Of porce-
lain, which, on account of their
cheapness, soon became very popu-
lar. Glass eyes were invented in
1879. Already in Shakespeare's
time they were the finest products
Of primitive manual skill. Still,
compared to them, the glass eyes Of
today, though manufactured by me-
chanical means, are veritable works
of art.-New York Tribune.

Festival of tho Dolls,

A curious custom of the Japanese
is that of the observance of GER
tain day in April of each year called
dolls day, or the festival of the
dolls.
On this day all the girls and wom-
en- array themselves in gaudy attire,
and the mother of each household
adorns the family room in gay col
ors. Then the little girls dress all
their dolls, old and new, in their
best Sunday clothes and prop them
up about the walls. In the after
noon q great feast is prepared, o.
tensibly for the benefit Of the dolls,
though the repast is actually con-
sumed by the grown folks in the
evening. Japan is the only country
that has such q festivity.

Baby Goes A.shoppine.

"Did You ever see anything like
that" exclaimed a woman standing
by the lace counter in a department
store when she watched a mother
pick up young, wide awake baby,
which was done up like a bundle
and which lay with purchases upon
the counter. Only its little head
stuck out, and no one would have
imagined the roll was alive until
one bcheld the funny little face,
puckered up and framed in wooden
wrappings. As the mother walked
away she carried her spoils thus:
Baby on the left arm; shopping bag,

two fingers of the right hand. And
