Denver, Colo. July 5.-Sorrow and dis
appointment has reached the hearts Of
the Southern men.
They have come to Denver TO find that
their section OF the Democracy has waned
in power and influence in the Democratic

The suave Bailey. Of Texas; the delib-
crate Culberson. Of the same State;
''Pitchfork' Tillman, Of South Carolina,
and the erudte John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi have passed from the Demo
cratic stage, and their places have been
taken by men from the North and from
the West, who have not had their expert
ence in the national game.
Dixie to-day Is represented in Denver
by only a few United States Senator's
William Stone, the single delegate who
represents his State in the upper house
of Congress. that has survived the wash
out which the Bryan food has caused,
and Senators Gore and Owen, of Okla
homa, who are not delegates and whose
lrfuence consequently will be Of slight
consequence.

He Was Waiting.

Postmaster. General Meyer tells this
one: "Some years ago an old fellow
was appointed postmaster of the small
village of Nola Ohucky. A number
of weeks passed and the Nola Chucki-
ans and their friends began to COM
plain about the mails. And no won-
der. The postmaster, it seemed, had
sent out no mail since his entrance in
to the Office. An Inspector, investi-
eating the matter, pointed to the hun
dred or more dusty letters that the
postmaster had kept by him and said
sternly: "WhY on earth, sir, didn't
you let these go?'
ri was waitin'," said the old man,
"till the bag got full"

Immunity From Cancer.

There is probably no other disease,
not even excepting tuberculosis, the
study of which Is being more actively
pursued by the brightest minds in the
medical profession today than lie that
of cancer.
This terrible scourge Of the human
race has been known for ages, bat It's
true nature and its cause are still
wrapped in the deepest mystery.
Some believe it is due to the action of
a germ: others, that it is a growth Of
embryonal cells which were forgotten.
as it were, aud left behind when the
body was originally built, and which
have been stimulated to overgrowth
by the injury Of a blow or by the
poisonous action of waste products Of
the body not promptly eliminated.
Some believe that it is purely To-
cal disease others, that il is due to
constitutional taint, the localiz4tion Of
the tumor in one or another part be.
ing determined by an irritation or in
jury. In spite, however, Of all this
uncertainty and seeming confusion.
progress is really being made in the
direction OF solution of the enigma.
One of the things that have been
learned recently, as a result Of the
study Of cancerous growths in mice,
is that some animals are immune 10
the disease, this immunity being either
natu. al or acquired in consequence Of
recovery from a previous tumor.
Certain dogs also have been found
to enjoy an immunity Of the same sort,
and it has been learned that by means
of TRANSMISSION of blood this immunity
can be transmitted to others fact
of very great Importance. The expert
ment has been made Of bleeding dog
with cancer and then replacing the
lost blood by TRANSMISSION from an im-
mune dog. and in some instances the
result has been an apparent cure Of the
disease. The same thing has even been
tried in man with seeming benefit, but
the cases are too recent TO enable one
to say positively that definite cure
has been obtained.
Even if successful, this would be
difficult mode Of treatment, for it would
be necessary to discover an immune
person-one who had had cancer and
recovered spontaneously-and then to
persuade him to give his blood for the
patient. But the discovery of the fact
Of immunity is in itself most Egni6-
cant, and raises the hope that feasi-
bic way will ere long be found to pre-.
vent or cure this devastating disease.

The TaSt Supper"


Mouldering away on the wall Of the
old monastery in Milan, Italy, hangs
the famous Last Supper" of Leonardo
da Vinci. Like every masterpiece, the
painting required many years Of pa
tient labor, and as a result Of that Ia
Dor it is perfect in its naturalnesS oi
expression and sublime in its story of
love. In addition to these qualities,
it has an incident in its history that
contributes not little toward making
it the great teacher that 1t is.
II is said that the artist, in painting
the faces of the apostles, studied the
courtenances Of good men whom he
knew. When, however, he was ready
to paint the face of Jesus in the pic
ture he could find none that would
satisfy his conception. The face that
would serve as a model for the face Of
Christ must be dignifed in its sim
plicity and majestic in its sweetness.
After several years Of careful search,
the painter happened to meet one,
Pistro Bandinelli, choir boy of ex-
quisite voice, belonging to the cathe.
dral. Being struck by the beautiful
features and tender manner that be-
spoke an angelic soul, the artist in
duced the boy to be the study for the
painting Of the face Of Jesus.
All was done most carefully and
reverently, but the picture was as yet
incomplete, for the face of Judas was
absent. Again the painter, with the
zeal CT a true lover of his art, set about
in search of countenanoe that might
servs ior the face of the traitor. Some
yeare passed before his search was re.
warded and the picture finally com.
pleted. AS the artist was about to
dismiss the miserable and degraded
wretch who had been his awful choice
the man looked up at him and said,
"You have painted me before. d" HOr-
rifed and dumb with amazement, the
painter learned that the man was Pie
tro Bandinelli. During those inter
vening years Pietro had been at Rome
studying music, had met with evil
companions, had given himself up to
drinking and gambling, had fallen into
shameful dissipation and crime. The
face that now was the model for the
face of Judas had once been the model
for the face of Christ.

Of little self denial. easily tear them

He seems so sorry when he's caught,
His mien Is all conuite;

And wants to make things right.

In life's long run less harm is done
Because he is so rare,
And one can be so stern with him,
Can make the monster shrink.
But, lackaday, what can we say
To whining "Didn't thinkT
This most unpleasant imp OF strife
Pursues US everywhere.
There's scarcely one whole day OF life
He does not cause u, care.
Small woes and great he brings the wOrld'
Strong ships are forced to sink.
And trains from iron tracks are hurled

When brain /, comrade to the heart
And heart from soul draws grace,

For lack fresting place.

A Case Of honor.

Emily Wright, summoned to Mr..
Davis's private Office, had no present
iment of i'll; indeed, walking up
through the bright spring morning,
she had been unusually happy and
full of eager plans. She knew that
she was doing good work. and her
thoughts had run upon the possibility
Of promotion, and what she could
do then for her sister and little Don
aid. So she only waited, cheerful
and alert, for Mr.. Davis's order.
Three minutes later, she walked
slowly down the corridor. Dismissed
She never had thought of the posi-.
bility of such thing, not once. One
weeks more work, and then the old
heart-sickening search again. She
could have good recommendation
the best-but even with that, to find
another situation in July
Ethel Oarse, pretty and careless and
meaning to be kind, looked up as
Emily walked back to her desk.
Have they fred you ?" she asked.
"It'ss shame They always do lay
of the earliest comers in July, but
they missed it in giving you a walk
ing ticket. I'd like to tell Mr.. Davis
so.
"Oh, moi" Emily gasped.
"Oh, l shs'n't, you needn't fear.
I'm afraid of my life with him, but
I'd like to. If l were you, l wouldn't
hurt myself with work this week,
that's all.
1t was Emily's own first impulse
not indeed in retaliation, but from
sheer heart-sickness but presently
she pulled herself together.
Il am paid for the weeks work.
l must give honorable service, she
said to herself, stsrnly. And SO, be-
cause honorable service meant to her
finishing her tasks regardless of time,
she stayed beyond her hour several
nights that week.
She was tempted to drop things at
Eve o'clock as Ethel did, Ethel, who
was to be kept on. In the mood Of
encouragement that was upon her,
the very drearineSs Of the Office,
emptied Of all except one or two spec
ial workers, oppressed her. Yet she
stayed, putting into exquisite order
each days work. 1t was Friday,
when she was YEARLY typewrlting
some specifications, that she was start
led by Mr.. Dsvis's voice beside her
"Miss Wright, what are you doing
hersf"
Finishing this work-it came in
the last mail, Emily replied.
"Are you not 10 leave Saturday ?"
"Yes,' the girl answered, brie fly.
The question seemed needlsssly cruel.
"Yet you are staying overtime ?"
Emily looked at him graVelY. my
work is here until Saturday night"
she said.
Mr.. Davis's keen glance flashed
from her face to her copy, perfect in
each detail.
"Miss Wright" he said, II am 60
ing to take the responsibility Of ask.
ing you, for the company, to continue
your services with US. We can better
afford to lose little in money than
one who 90 honors her trust-and her
self"
Out in the summer evening, Emily
walked home with shining eyes. 1t
was good, oh, 50 good to have the
place, but underneath was something
better. She had not failed herself.
