Is it a discovery known now for the first time that one man can play polo on Holsters and pork while his friend cannot play croquet unless he has hot water and mustard and cress? This laying down of rules to insure uniformity is an attempt at tyranny of the most insidious type. After all, man has not improved much upon the monkey He still hatters by imitation. If celebrated stroke eats an orange, every crew In training must strew the towing path with or ange peel, if the admiral of the Ant arctic singes his beard. all sailors must trim their whskers accordingly; if a peculiarly hideous and ineonven- tent form of headgear Is worn by a leaderet of the demimonde, no self respecting matron dare appear In pub lie. without a similar disagreement, Is 1t too late to enter protest?

When after much searching of heart and much reading of medical dictionaries which even the authors scarcely pro fess to understand-"th science of medicine consists of pouring drugs of which we know little into stomachs of which we know less"-a man has found a diet which suits him, it is all Lombard street to China orange that this identical diet would starve or surfeit his next door neighhor.

AS TO DIET PADS.
Being Tilt at the Vagarlcs of T'osc
 Who Have Become Cranky.

As patriots we regret the defeat or Eustace Miles by his younger rival But if the result helps to discourage the present mania for patent foods and dyspeptic discussion, all may yet be well. Some years ago young men in their clubs talked about horses, women, cards debts, duty sport and other Kindred and congenial matters. Now they talk about nothing but pills, rest cures and patent foods
 Some one wiser than Solomon, though less known than Shakespeare, said that at the age of forty every man was either fool or a physician Many men are both before they reach that age, but surely it requires but little common sense to realize once and for all that what suits one man does not necessarily suit another This has been said before in much terser and more beautiful language, but 1t is none the less true.

But by no means least amusing arc the sweet young things who, under tho spell of the sea, have found their af- flnitles It makes the old young, and the young very, very old--the sea--and, unless one Is glrl-proof, love- proof, or married there Is no telling what may happen between port and port There was once Benedict who was wont 10 fervently exclam, "Oh, there's no place like homeland thank God there isn't" but 1t Is perfectly safe to say that ho didn't fall in love with her on the bil- lowy ocean, where only afflnities meet Why, tho very letters, "H.

BRYAN HAS WEALTH Property Valued by Lincoln Assessor at Nearly
 $86,00o. ALSO HAS $75,000 IN BONDS Only Ono Other lincoln suburbanite Owns More Costly House
 Than Commoner.
ALSO HAS s75,0o0 IN BONDS

According to the nasty estimate made by the county assessors, MT. Bryan stands eighth in the list of Lin- coln's wealthy men. Mir. Bryan's possessions, as that official has listed them, total the modest sum of ss4,bo0. This places him, howe ver at the head of the rich squires of this section-the men who live in subur- ban homes.
 The mansion at Fairview is assessed for taxation at a figure higher than any other residence in Lancaster county, with one exception. That one is the home of c. o. Whedon, prooa- bly Mir. C3ryan's worst political enemy in Nebraska, certainly his sevarsst critic here at the home of the demo- cratic leader The Whedon home Is listed for taxes, according to the 1908 assessment, at $33,000.
 MT. Bryan is generally reported to have $75,000, the proceeds of his var ious books, invested in governm ant bonds, which are not taxable. He carries life insurance policies aggre- gating $55,ooo.

WOMEN WANT TO GO TO SEA.
Many Apply for Work on Savannah
 Line as Purser's Aids.

New York, Aug. 5.-Announcemen that the Ocean Steamship company, known as the Savannah line, was thinking of employing women as pur- sers' assistants, resulted in busy days for J. c. Horton, the passenger traffic manager of the company.
 Apparently the desire of women to go to sea in an official capacity is widespread, and this inclination is confined to no special type or age. Stenographers, secretaries, college women, undergraduate and gradute, have overrun pier 35 North river, or filled the mails with applications, leaving no doubt that, if the company finally decides upon the innovation, there will be no lack of material for all It's vessels.

not jump out again."

GuIls and CLANS.

The discussion continues between
those who think that all the acts Of
the lower animals are satisfactorily
explained by the hypothesis Of inher-
tied instinct and those who hold that
there is an element of intelligence, If
not Of reasoning, in these things. w.
L. Finley, in a work on American
birds. mentions an observation of his
which may perhaps be explained either
way. but which in any case is interest
ing. A gull seized upon clam and,
rising to a height of about fifteen feet.
allowed it to fall upon hard ground.
The clam kept it's mouth shut. Again
the gull rose with it to the same height
and dropped it once more, with the
same result. This operation was re-
peated fifteen times, when at last the
shock had the desired effect, the shell
was opened. and the gull enjoyed its
dainty contents.
