Bryan's Running Mate.

Washington.-W. ]. Bryan held an
impromptu reception in the rooms of
the house committee on ways and
means, where number Of Democratic
representatives and many outsiders
chatted with him.
Asked by someone to name his
choice for a running mate in the event
Of his nomination at Denver, Mr..
Bryan laughingly replied:
Il shan't tell. That is too bold a
question"
To the newspaper men he said:
you may say that my coming to
Washington was not to consult any
man or set Of men as to whether l
ought to be a candidate for the NOM
ination. have not put that question
to any men. nor shall I. The people,
not individuals. have the sole right to
decide that point. i am not here to
solicit support for myself as a pos
sible presidential candidate. I never
solicit individual support. I never ask
any man to vote for me. In the past
when / was before the people as a can
didate. my efforts to obtain votes have
been confined to statements Of my
views"

HAD LISTENED TO DADDY.
Force Of Example Exemplified In Pre-
cocious Youngster.

There is certain man living not
far from New York whose temper is
not of the longest, and when he feels
that his rage is justifiable he is very
apt to indulge in fluent, versatile and
varied profanity.
And it is when using the telephone
that this talent Of his is seen and
heard at its maximum of speed and
endurance. Central has but to say
Wire busy now," or, Doesn't an
swer," to evoke flood of language.
One day he had been having an un-
usually stormy session, and did not
notice that his two-year-old son was
sitting in a corner of the room, his
face rapt and absorbed. A few hours
later the child's mother came in and
was Mortified beyond words to hear
her baby giving voice to a stream Of
expletives, some of which began with
a very large capital D-the rest with
a variety of letters quite unmention-
able in this connection. She descended
upon him in righteous wrath.
Don't you ever let me hear you
use such words again." she said in no
uncertain tones.
why, mother" expostulated the
baby in an injured voice, I'm tele-
phoning!"

Freeland, noted mining and civil en-
gineer. globe trotter and mine owner
OF Colorado, who formerly lived here,
was found dead in his apartment at

Fort Collins Sugar Season.

Denver.-A Fort Collins dispatch
says: At so o'clock Sunday morning
the last Of the beet crop Of 1907.
grown In this district for the local
sugar factory, was run through the
slicers, thus practically ending the
sugar making campaign which opened
September 10th. A few days will be
required to convert the juice on hand
into sugar, and when this is done the
factory will close until next fall. Dur
ing the campaign of 130 days the fac
tory sliced more than 100000 tons of
beets, including between 1900 and
$4,000 tons raised in the Loveland and
Longmont districts, and not day was
lost during the campaign on any ac-
count, or for any reason, and not Sc.
rious accident occurred from the time
of starting up the machinery until 1t
was ready to close down Sunday. The
campaign has been the most success
full and the most satisfactory all around
in the history Of the local factory.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate "Agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes bid for his land
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipuia-
ton is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy Of
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight in the courts.

Collecting in New Hampshire.

A New Hampshire man tells Of a
tight-fisted man of affairs in a town
of that state, who until recently had
never been observed to take an inter-
est in church matters. Suddenly, how
ever, he became a. regular attendant
at divine service, greatly to the
astonishment of his fellow towns
men.
What do you think of the case OF
old Ketchum?" said one of the busi-
ness men of the place to friend. rs

We'll, hardly" replied the other.
"The fact is, it's entirely matter Of
business with him. I am in a posi-
tion to know that about year ago he
loaned the pastor $50, which the lat
ter was unable to pay. So there re-
mained nothing for Ketchum but to
take it out in pew rent."-Smday

Great Railway Combine.

Washington.-Attorney General Bon
hparte Saturday directed that a bill in
equity be filed to set aside the control
by the Union Pacific Railway Company
and its subsidiary corporations Of the
Southern Pacific and the San Pedro,
Los Angeles & Salt Lake roads; also to
have declared illegal the ownership by
the Union Pacific or the Oregon Short
Line of stock in the Santa, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacflc, all of
said lines being competitors of the
Union Pacific.
The attorney general issued an Of
hcial statement to this effect which,
after referring to the extensive in
vestigation by the interstate commerce
commission into the relations existing
between the various lines of roads en-
gagged in transcontinental traffic, says:
From the evidence SO far adduced
and from independent investigation the
department has arrived at the conclu-
sion that the stock holding of the
Union Pacific and its subsidiary COM
pany in the other corporations men
toned above is in direct violation of
the Sherman act.
"The department regards the suit
as of first Importance, as it is sought
by means thereof to break up a sub
stantial monopoly of the transportation
business of the country between the
Missouri river on the east and the en-
tire Pacific coast south of Portland on
the west.
aside from the railway companies
above named, the other defendants in
The suit are the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company of New York, which is
the depository of all the stock of the
San Pedro road under a contract by
which it is required to give proxies
10 such persons as may be named by
Mr. Hartman and Mr.. Clark for Pc
Rod years. There are also the fol-
lowing individual defendants COM
planned CT, to-wit: E. H. Hartman, ia
cob H. Schiff. Otto H. Kahn, James
Stillman, Henry c. Frick, Henry H.
Rogers and William A. Clark"
While naming the Individual defen-
dants, the statement makes no mention
Of any intention to prosecute any Of
these officials personally in any GRIM
lnal proceedings.
The attorney general has engaged as
special assistants for the purse of this
litigation Messrs. Frank B. Kellogg and
Cordence A. Severance Of st. Paul.
who acted as counsel for the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the investi-
cation above referred to.

MRS. EDDY MOVES TO BOSTON.
Founder Of Christian Science Will
Live on Beacon Street.

Boston.-The following statement
was given out Sunday night from the
Office Of Alfred Farlow, head of the
Christian Science publicity bureau:
REV. Mary Baker-Eddy, discoverer
and founder of Christian Science, has
moved from Concord, N. H., to Brook
line, a suburb OF Boston. The Law
renee estate, which has been remod-
eled, has been quietly furnished for
Mrs. Eddy and her household, and she
occupied it about 4:45 this afternoon.
Only few Of Mrs. Eddy's friends
knew Of her contemplated move.
while there has been much specu-
lation about the Brookline house, no
one had guessed ariglft concerning its
future occupant.
Mrs. Eddy and her household, in
Guiding Calvin A. Frye, her secretary,
with Archibald Mcclellan, as a guest,
constituted the party. They left Con-
cord at Q p. m. on a special train, which
had been held in the yard at Concord
until a few minutes before the time
scheduled for leaving. 1t was then
run under the shed of the Boston side
of the depot and was quietly boarded
by the party, about ten or twelve in
number
ne Train was transferred TO Jne
New York, New Haven G. Hartford
railroad at Lowell. Mass, whence /,
was run to South Farmingham where it
was transferred to the Boston G. AL
bany road, and went to Chestnut Hill
station, where carriages awaited the
party and carried them to their new
home on Beacon and Hammond
streets. Here everything was found
in full equipment AID supper was
served at the usual hour. Except for
the three hours required to make the
trip, there was no break in the usual
routine Of the family.
This move was not prompted by
any sudden decision. 1t Is known to
some Of Mrs. Eddy's friends that she
has for some years been considering
the advisability of returning to this
city.
"Her purpose is to be more conven-
lent to the mother church of the de-
nomination, nearer to its headquarters.
"The whole affair, including the
preparation Of the house, was in keep
ing with Mrs. Eddy's usual way of do
ing things. She weighs matters de-
liberately and carefully, then acts
quickly"
