II was soon noticeable that the Ice

eastward and there was some discus

one OF the party who had been watch

Upon the instant all was hustle aboard

The man Of science reveals the soul OF
a poet and the enthusiasm of an artist
with an appreciation of the beautiful
for its own sake
Frank N Meyer Is an entomologist
of note, a naturalist. an enthusiastic
and trained in the field botanist. a.
chemist, student OF social economy
and a natural explorer. Physical hard
ships and inconveniences are as moth
ing TO him where they represent the
price of a botanical prize, such as an
odorless cabbage, for instance. or q
natural history specimen like the mon
keys he brought home that will thrive
in the trying climate OF the national
capital.
Meyer is the first white man who
ever traversed the primeval forests of
northern Korea His three years of
exploration began when he left Peking
armed with passports and other cre-
dentials necessary for the man whose
path by travel leads fer from the trod-
den trail of the tourist and drummer
Meyers official position is agricultural
explorer TO the department. of agricul-
ture- and through the American min
lister at Peking he received a sheaf of
papers which insured him immunity
from interference by Chinese officials,
protection IL he should need IT and
the right to wander wherever he
pleased. Chinese Official documents are
formidable affairs, written large with
generous margin. At Peking Meyer
was provided with Official visiting
cards They were printed in pairs On
one appears his name in Chinese enar-
ccters. On the other is his official
title. The name card measures 31z
inches by ~. The other is 9iz inches
long by AZ inches wide, and il was
necessary TO make use OF both wher-
ever he sent in" his card. with each
call he left behind 136 square inches
OF visiting card, and as he had to call
on the head man of every district that
he entered. his card case when he left
Peking was not the least formidable
item of his baggage.
West and east he travelled IN China
and south to the Yangtse valley. He
visited many of the ancient cities of
the Eiowery Kingdom and is probably
better acquainted with the inside of
that great mysterious riddle than any
other white man who knows enough
to tell about It
Before he left Washington his atten-
ton was called to the fact that the
monkeys in Uncle Sans 200 sucoumbed
very easily to the rigors OF the Wash
ington climate and he was asked To
keep a lookout for a hardy race OF
monkeys. He found them In the snow
regions far to the. north of Peking
He found them gamboling a. gayly az
their brothers OF the tropics in q tenn
perature that turned alcohol into ice
and solidified mercury. They not only
gamboled but they whistled, and he
concluded that the monkey that could
sit on the topmost branch OF 100 foo,
tree and whistle when the thermometer
registered so degrees and more below
zero was a sure enough hardy monkey
so Meyer, who adds to his other ac-
complishments some skill as trapper
captured a lady and gentleman monkey
and attached them to his retinue They
were with him on all his travels and

1t has been claimed, even by
some Democrats, that Bryan would
attempt to force tho national con-
vention, to be held in Denver in
July, to nominate him for presi
dent whether the majority wished
to or not. Mr.. Bryan has proven
this statement to be erroneous by
recently declaring that if any man
in the party can control one.third
of the votes of the convention he
will withdraw. Mr.. Bryan is an
avowed candidate and has IL right
to be the same as any other Amer
icar citizen, and is probably the
strongest man the party could
place before the people, but his
proposition shows his fairness
when he proposes TO withdraw in

one-third of the votes of the con.
vention, while at the same time he
could force his own nomina ton il

MARK SMITH A CANDIDATE

In letters to his numerous friends
througout the territory, Hon, Mark
Smith, Arizona's delegate to con.
gress and her peerless champion
for single statehood, announces
himself as willing to stand for re.
election this fall.
In letter to a SolomonvIlle
friend Mr.. Smith says that he feels
conf dent that the Democrats will
have fine chance to elect pres
ident this year, and if such is the
outcome of the November election,
he is very desirous of going to
Congress again that be may fight
Arizona's statehood battles under
more promising conditions than
have been obtained heretofore
He thinks that in the election
Of "a ID emocratic chief executive,
lies Arizona's only hope for state.
hood tor many years to come.
The Bulletin feels sure that the
an who has served Arizona, both
in Congress and out with unswerv-
ing faithfulness and loyalty for the
past twenty years deserves the
honor be seeks as fitting reward
for his untiring labors in her b.
half.
No doubt there are many who
think that others would accom-
plish as much as Mark Smith for
the territory, but they are yet tn
be proven and this is time when
a veteran, we'll versed in legisla-
tive tactics and thoroughly cogni-
zapt of what he is after, is needed
at the battle front.
Nor would it be just to snatch
the laurel away from the real
victor at the moment of triumph.
Let us put aside the other very
worthy aspirants for congressional
honors until next year, when we
become a state-we can make good
use of them then in launching our
grand new commonwealth.-Bul

HUMAN NATURE

If all that hate would love as aDd
all our love were true,
The stars that swing above us
would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words were kisses and
every scowl smile,
A better world than this is would
hardly be worth while.
If purses would untigbten to meet
broth er's need.
The load we bear would tighten
above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle
and those who languisb, laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle, the
grain outrun the chaff.
If hearts were only Jolly, if griev-
ing were forgot,
And tears and melancholy were
things that now are not
Then Love would kneel to duty
and all the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty, u dream
within a dream.
How many beautiful lesson
can he drawn from that little poem!
If humanity were but given to
greater charity, greater forbear-
ance, greater disposition to judge
people with a more kindly spirit,
the world would be vastly more
agreeable place of abode. How
many sow tares instead of wheat?
How many save money all their
lives only to leave it at last, gain
ing no benefit from its possession.
How many hold their eyes always
down to see what Ill they can find
to part against their neighbors.
That poem is worthy of memoriz-
ing, and keeping constantly in
mind.
