A Tot at School,

She begged so hard to go! Each day,
With pleadings soft and wistful eyes,
She d tell, in quite resistless way,
Her longings to be big and WISE
And how she craved a book and slate,
A pencil box and long inch rule
And, more than all, a copy plate
Like sisters" and-to 60 to school.
Well, well, no stony sphinxes We;
We looked into her bluebell eyes
And dared not hint the age of three
Plus one could ne'er be very wise!
Armed with primer picture book,
In which she'd studied half day
At least, we sent her on her way
She came back with ecstatic look,
All dimples, wrinkles, bubbling pride.
II said my lesson too! / spelled
A word all by myself" she cried.

Her head back with it's fluffy friZz
To seek the eyes long lashes hid.
Surprised and pleased withal.) II did!

One letter straight and one all crooked

A boy named Charles Williams, liv-
ing in northern Michigan, was out in
the woods one day looking for a lost
COW when he came to Il bank about
eight feet high and saw fox lying
asleep at the foot of the bank. He
made ready and jumped down and
grabbed reynard in his arms. He
didn't hold the animal more than a
minute, and yet duslng that time he
received seventy-o5 bites, thirty of
which were on thu We and hands

character he assumes, a christian
man, and patriot. We simply
deal with him as a political leader
in the democratic party. Person
ally, he may be a worthy man,
good in his family, church, and
community: in his political career
he has made a dismal failure.
Every question advocated by him
has been negatived by the nation.
And yet candor compels the ad-
mission that after his many fail
ures he is still the most potent
personality in the democratic
party. For this reason his NOM
ination at Denver is almost sure.
So mote it be.

SneezinQ,

had sneezed? Some writers attribute
the benedctiOn to St Gregory, who en-

But here again we find revival of an
ancient custom, for Aristotle mentions
it as existing among the Greeks, and

the same custom, and so. it is said

Tradino Rats.

1t is said that in California there is
a rat known as the trade rat" The
species seems to be an honest one as
far as its intelligence goes. If you
leave a pan of anything it likes in a
convenient place it is not above taking
it, but it puts something back. Once a
pan Of paste was left on chair over
night. The following morning the
paste was gone. but inside the pan were
long stick. piece Of rope, bits of pa
per- some nails and an unbroken glass
funnel in payment for the paste.

Good for Something Sure
BY LEO.


answer. He is good for some
thing sure, probably for much.
An aged woman was in the habit
of saying, Something good can
be said of everybody" And
some one asked her What good
can you say of the Devil?'' to
whom she promptly answered:
He is persevering." We are
not an admirer of Bryan, but we
see in him many good things.
Some of which are the following:
l. He is an effective public
speaker; we heard him on two
occasions, we did not relish the
subiect-matter of his talks: but
we saw in his speeches marks of
real oratory. We have read
many of his addresses within the
last twelve years, and each i'm
presses us with the powers of his
oratory. He is not great orator
like Daniel Webster, whose mass
i've intellect shone forth in his
utterances: but Bryan is public
speaker of no ordinary excellence.
One proof of this is the great de-
mand for his services all over the
country.
2. He is an agitator of the first
rank, not indeed, an agitator lead
ing the people to deeds OF vio-
lence: but one who stirs the pub
lie in matters political. We can
ill afford to make him our chief
magistrate, for thereby we should
lose his valuable services as a
critic. He has the knack of be-
ing on the wrong side of public
questions almost invariably, as
for instance, the free coinage
matter, imperialism, government
ownership of the trunk railroads;
but still, by advocating such
things he stirs people to think
ing-not a bad thing sure.
3. Bryan is good at dividing
the democratic party, and there
by keep them out of power. Of
course, we speak from republi-
can view point. Eastern demo-
Gratis blame him for this, and
even southern democrats are
finding fault with him: but re-
publicans everywhere consider
Bryan of great value to the re-
publican party. For twelve years
the peerless leader has been
the autocrat of democracy, and
the party has suffered a defeat
every time he leads. Now he is
a candidate again, not only a
candidate; but also a very optl-
mistic one. Like Jobs war
horse, he smells the battle afar
off," and beholds the victory for
his side sure. ''Republicanism
is divided, and democracy is a
unit" Well, now, the republi-
cans are somewhat at variance
as to some things: but they are
in beautiful concord as to nomi-
nation of Bryan at Denver. We
have never hearda single repub-
lican uttering word against it.
If the Denver convention could
be controlled by the republican
party Bryan's nomination would
be a sure thing. It is democracy
that kicks against it, especially
eastern democracy. We believe
Brvan will be the Denver noml'
nee. and if so, the republican
candidate will have a walk over
Now, ''Darke County Boy"
tell us; is it not good to keep th'
democratic party in the wilder
ness a few more years? Well, i:
that be desirable let us hav'
Brvan to lead the democratl'
host next year.
We have nothing to say abou
