was hole ON the roof. exactly above

any man who subscribed money to have

formation and Garry Dispatches.
An application for license to open a
tobacco bureau has brought to public
notice in France forgotten war heroine.
Nine. May, who in 1870 distinguished
herself by series of daring exploits.
She was born in 1914 near lie Mans
and was living at Metz nj the time the
var broke out. She offered her services
as scout and was accepted. At first
she drove about the country in a cart
and after some time adopted masculine
attire, which would permit her more
easily 10 move about among the soldiers,
Her cleyerness in avoiding detection,
as we'll as her courage, was soon recog-
nized, and she was charged with carry
ing important dispatches to the furthest
outposts along the frontier villages,
which exposed her constantly to the risk
OF being caught and shot as spy.
She was IN fact captured one day as
she was carrying three important mes
sages through the enemy's lines TO the
commander of the besiesed forces at
Thionville. She was searched by the
Germans. who, 10 their honor be il said
treated her most deeently and sent her
away free but with strict orders not TO

WHEN THE WHALES EAR ACHES
Leaps Out of the Water Due to the Tor
tupe by a Parasite

hdPt Wy a dAoSAACf
1t was a story told by a whaIer who
retired from the sea when the catch of
the deep sea game had so fallen off that
there was no longer any profit in cap
tain's lay even with the added earnings
from the slop chest. But as it has been
confirmed by the biologists of the fish
commission the truth of the story is IN
assailable.
When the whales were still frequent
along the lanes OF passenger travel
across the western ocean nothing was
more common than to see the great
beasts hurting their tons of bulk clean
out of the waves and after a fight
through the air falling back into the sea
with an enormous splash and Jets of
foam, spectacle never failing of inter

any glees0me sportive disposition on the
part of the leviathan OF the deep.
Quite the contrary, the preaching of
the whale is nc fun Cor the beast il il
a frantic effort to rid himself of the tor

crustacean whose aim in maritime ca

insane by their tiny parasite 1t is n
crab of about the size Of that which is
found in the oyster. When it lodges on
the whale it infests the inner surface of
the eyelids and the ear. BY swift rushes
on the surface the whale is able to clear
his eyes, but the crab in the inner ear
ear cannot be dislodged by any such
means. One can only imagine the ninety
foot anguish of whale when one or
more of these tiny foes walk with needle

in 1901. Is that evidence of weak
ness or of unavailabiity?
But even with tremendous odds
against him In both campaigns,
with the party divided and with
| the popular Mckinley sustained by
millions of trust and corporation
money Bryan did more than get
a great popular vote. In 1896 he
split the electoral vote in Republi-
can California; in 1896 and 1900
he carried Republican Colorado;
in both elections he carried Repub-
lican Idaho; in both elections he
carried Republican Montana; in
1896 he carried Republican Ne
braska; in 1896 and 1900 he car.
ried Nevada; in 1896 he carried
South Dakota, Utah, Washington,
and Wyoming. None of the States
named was carried by Alton B.
Parker. And Bryan won in eight
States that Cleveland did not carry
in 1892. Yet they tell us that
Bryan, stronger to-day than ever,
and with the Republicans split,
"can not be elected" Also, that
he is ''the weakest mag n the Dem
ocratic party!"
1t is eight years since William
Jennings Bryan has been a candi-
date for Office before the American
people. Those years have been
devoted to the study of Statecraft,
and the civilized world has been
his field. Since his second defeat
he has grown larger in the eyes of |
the world when a man not inner

dwindled and fallen into obscurity.
He has travelled around the world |
and been the guest of kings, but
there has been no change in the
democracy of the great Democrat
except that he has grown richer in
wisdom, ripper in experience,
sounder in judgment.
To-day the twice defeated Bryan
presents the astonishing spectacle
of being unquestionably the great
est private citizen Of the world,
and the admired champion of the
people of America. He will be
on the first ballot in
Denver; his nomination will be as
sured before the convention meets
because of the instructed delega-

of Bryan, Democratic success is

BATTLE IN CLOUDS
''The pertinent questions how
ever, is what would the other ma
tion be doing! Would it let bal

be taken for granted that one ma

"There would be no observa-

in the Clouds The object of each
nation would be to prevent obser-
walton and observation would be
possible only when the enemy's bal
