vicious dog.
The attorney for the defeAse
had been consulting dog expert
and lad learned that it a dog
holds his tail up over his b'ck

while if he holds it straight out
behind him he is in a belligerent,
blood.thirsty frame of mind.
Anxious to air his newly acquir
ed information, the lawyer began
cross.q questioning the prosecuting
witness in this manner:
"Now, did you notice the po
sition in which this dogs tail
was held when he came at you?

"for that was not the! end from
which l anticipated injury. l
had another end in view. Now,
if the dog had been hornet"
"No levity, sir |" Numbered
the attorney. "Answer the ques-
ton. In what position was the
dogs tail when he came at you
II believe, sir" faltered the
terrified witness, "that it was be-
hind him "-Exchange.

BRYAN'S STATEMENT.
Sill Has Faith In His Policies and
 Expects to Sec Them Adopted.

Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 5.-WnlIam Jennings Bryan this afternoon issued the following statement:
 The election has gone against us by q decisive majority The returns are not all in, and IL is impossible at the present time 10 analyze them or to say what causes contributed most to the republican victory We made our fight upon a platform which embodied what we believed to be good for the American people but 1t is for the peo- pie themselves to decide what laws they desire and what methods of gov ernment they prefer.
 T have faith that the publicity which we asked for will yet commend itself to the American people. that the election of senators by the people will be secured. that the inlquities of the trusts will arouse an opposition that will result in the elimination of tho principle of private monopoly. I am confident that the people will see the necessity for the labor legislation and the tariff reduction which our plat form demanded 1 am confident. too, that the educational work done in this campaign will result in securing great CT protection to bank depositors.
