Bryan Greatest Talker

William J. Bryan is generally con-
sidered Americas greatest talker.
According to a recent visitor ut
Lincoln, "the Democratic chieftain
estimates roughly that each year he
has delivered $50 speeches, travelled
$4,000 miles, spoken on an average
half an hour each time, and that
his audiences have averaged 1000
persons.
The total that result from these
figures are enormous, They show
that, q including his trip around the
world in 1896, Mr.. Bryan has travelled
300, 900. miles since his first defeat
for president, has addressed 3,OOO,-
600 people, has spoken 1900 times,
and has talked 1850 hours, or little
more than sixty-two days, which is
two full calendar months. Allowing
him two hundred minute in his
speeches, he has illuminated his fellows
with 18, O0O, 900 words.

Jew seved Up in a Horse.


+ ODESSA, July IA shocking affair
igsreported from the small township of
Nikolaiefka. about forty miles from
here. A Jewish butcher named Chain
Is in the habit OF hawking his kosher
meat among his co-religionists in the
neishborhood. A few days ago while
proceeding in single horse wagon to
knrtsovo Pokrovsk. he was waylaid by
three peasants. who. after first seiz-
Ing and binding their victim, killed his
horse by cutting It's throat Then they
disemboweled the carcass, thrust the
unfortunate Jew within, and sewed 1t
up with strong Irvine which they had
brought with them for the purpose.
The unhappy Jew was then left to
his fate; but fortunately the miscreants
had not. as they imagined. done their
stitching so well as to make the carcass
air tight. and about half an hour later
the stified cries OF Chain and the slight
movement noticeable within the dead
horse, attracted the attention of pass
er-by. who released the Jew after con-
siderable trouble.
The victim OF the affair Is over fifty
years OF age. and now lies In 8 danger
GUS state OF collapse In hospital.
1t appears that this form of outrage
is not by any means uncommon, and Is
generally described locally as play
ing harmless practical Jokes on the
