Road Building in the Country.

Don't you people ever work the
roads in this section?" asked the au-
tomobilist, as he pried the rear wheel
of his machine out of rut with a
fence rail.
Work 'em? Wall, I should say
we do" answered Uncle Charlie Sea-
yer from the top rail of the fence.
why, we work these roads on the
assessment plan; none, of tibet money

assessed so many days work on tn

BRYAN ON THE STUMP.
Great ExpOunder of the Immortal JEFF
fersOnian Doctrines.

From the N. Y. Worlds Humorist.
"Bryan'll be on the stump, won't he p
asked the House Detective.
ITO be sure" said the Hotel Clerk
Ever since that historic day twelve
years ago when he fed the Crown of
B. Hill, one thorn at time. he's been
almost constantly on the stump or up
one. Bryan belongs on the stump,
just the same as canary bird be-
longs on a perch or poached egg
belongs on a slice of toast. He can
take his meals there and think up his
strongest thoughts there, and / sup
pose in a case of necessity he could
go to sleep there. He'd rather travel
on the rear end and make all stops
than to burn up the right of way in the
drawing-room section of the Twentieth
Century Limited, with his feet resting
on one of Mrs. Pullman's drawn-work
throws. Say what you please about
him, but William Jennings Bryan is
the best friend the flag stations of
this country ever had. And, if any,
body should ask you, he hasn't slight
ed the places where they pull up to
water the engine either, if there is an
audience on hand or one forming.
Others may tear carelessly by in their
imperialistc pomp, surrounded by col
ored porters and plush upholstery and
hand finished tides across the
back of the seat, but as for Bryan,
give him but the opportunity to ex-
pound the immortal Jeffersonian doc
trines to those residing in the shadow
of the stop-look-listen sign, hard by
the grade crossing, and he is we'll con-
tent, especially if he's got good new
immortal Jeffersonian doctrine that's
come to him since they made the last
town up the road.
NO, Larry, Bryan's not one of that
naughty school of through vestibuled
Pintsch gas statesmen that stop on
signal only. They tell me the first
sibilant hiss of the air brake
slowing down will instantly bring him
out of the soundest slumber, with his
tie properly tied and the palm of the
left hand thrust in between the second
and third buttons of the coat. It's
never been necessary for Mr.. Bryan
to leave a call with the night clerk.
He's shown that by the way he beats
out some other party to nomination
from time to time, Whether it's the
back platform of the rear day coach
Of the Pewee Valley accommodation
or the platform of his party in con-
vention assembled, you'll find Will
liaf Jennings Bryan stepping ont on
it and occupying most of the available
space long before the brakeman can
get the stool down alongside the step
and begin helping on the passengers
that amt going any further along
that line. AIS s-iasgEe sal8fs

Bryan Stronger Than Before.

We think that Mr.. Bryan is stronger
with the people than he ever was be-
fore, and that the Republicans will
make great mistake if they assume
that he can easily be defeated. For
the man is quite as popular as he ever
was, has quite as strong hold on the
affections of the people, and yet he
has grown in wisdom and is, we be-
lieve, less radical.
1t is certain that the old Bryan
scare has largely passed away. He
will this year be voted for by thou
sands of men who II years ago would
as soon have voted for Haywood.
Many men saw in the Republican con-
vention what they believed to be evil
dence of a retreat. To these the DEM
