REAL DEMOCRATS

Press dispatches from Denver have
lwittingly or unwittingly made quite a
distinction in the Democrats who are
gathering at Denver and In this case
| 1t is a distinction where there is
a difference and wide difference at
that. The early arrivals, the men
who have been trying TO fix up
things for one thing and another are
termed the fellows who go to the
convention and have their expenses
paid, while the later arrivals, those
men who pay their own expenses and
vote as they please are termed the
real Democrats, the men who are
making the real noise of the conven-
tion and who are going to do the
things when the convention comes 70
|order and settles down for business.
There are men in both parties, just
as many in one as in the other, who
insist that If they 30 to the conven-
tions. they must have their expenses
paid. They insist upon getting on
the delegations and going to the con-
ventions and then they support the man
who is willing to go down In his
pocket and put up for their railroad
fare and hotel bills with little extra
for incidentals, such as cigars and
"sich." They do not seem to real
lie that the first great step toward
success at the polls is the adoption
of the proper platform and naming the
proper man to stand upon that plat
form. II Is the man who is willing
TO devote his time on convention
day and in addition pay his own ex-
|penses who has the real interests
|of the party at heart and who must
be depended upon to set the party
right before the people. The men
who do the work and pay their own
way are the real party men.

HOW sCHLIEMANN LEARNED
without Grammar or Dictionary He
Mastered Many Languages.

"Schliemann's prescription" is a
quick method of acquiring at least
reading knowledge of other
tongues, and 1t is less fully appre-
ciated than It should be in the very
places where It could be of greatest
use, says the Wellspring. There are
all over the country homes where
one or two of the family have had at
some time or other a pleasant and
broadening and refreshing acquaint-
ance with German or French, or per-
haps even Italian or Spanish. The
difficulty has been to keep up" that
acquaintance, and chance to bring
fresh, lively, outside interest into
the home life is lost.
DR.. .Schliemann's method was SIM
ply this: He was too busy unearth-
Ing the nine buried cities of old Troy
town to have much time left for
hard work with grammars and die
tionaries. So he did without them
largely. He learned by reading, and
by reading rapidly as one reads In
English, depending upon habit and
familiarity with the words to make
their meaning clear to him. He is
to-day almost as famous for the
many foreign languages he was able
to read as he is for his archaeological
discoveries.
The "five-minute doses" of this
prescription amount to this; Take
Ave minutes a day for reading, say,
German. Just read it.. Don't think
you are unscholarly because you
haven't time to look up" some new
word. Words have q way of teach
ing words. Reading a little each day
will keep In training your word
memory and will fasten new words
In your mind. Get your eyes and
your ears, too, accustomed to the
once unfamiliar phrases and words.
Let the wits sharpen themselves on
guessing at meaning here and
there. Don't be discouraged; the
vital point Is to have faith in this
prescription. 1t has been tried. and
II works.
All at once, where you could only
read few sentences in your five
minutes, you will find yourself read
Ing a page, two pages, three. The
sense Of whole phrases will seem to
jump out ab you without need Of
clumsy translations into English.
And the cheap editions of foreign
books are. so easy to get and SO fas-
cinating once they are bought!
For many tired. overburdened or
shutin people just such an outside
inspiration as this is of extraordinary
value. 1t is not necessary to stop
with the languages begun at school
far from 1t. Both Italian and
Spanish are easily learned by ones
self, SO far as reading goes, and they
are the prettiest of pastimes for one
who has even slight knowledge Of
Latin or French.

ROYAL GUESTS IN ENGLAND.
Most Exactlng Was the queen Of the
Sandwich Islands.

Sandwich Islands.
Among the many foreign monarchs
who have visited our shores within
comparatively recent years, says the
London Tit-Bits, one of the most amia.
BILE and popular was the late King of
Portugal, of whom the following story
is told:
His majesty, like his successor, was
an enthusiastic lover of art, and one
of his chief pleasures during his visit
to England was to make the acquain.
tance OF our great painters, with
whose names and fame he was famil.
lar. When Sir Edwin (then Mr. Ian.
dseer was introduced TO him his de-
light was unbounded 'Ah! Mr.. Land
seer" he exclaimed, as he advanced
to greet the famous animal painter.
Il am charmed to make your acqualn-
tance. am SO very fond of beasts"
Equally well meaning and unfortun-
ate was the late Shah of Persia, who,
in spite Of his great amiability, rare
ly opened his mouth without putting
his foot In It," Once, when the Ouch.
ess of Westminster was presented to
him, he greeted her like an old and
dear friend. "Ah!" he said. with a
charming bow, II have often heard Of
you, Your fame has reached even
Teheran." Good gracious!" exclaim-
ed the lady, aside, to friend, "the
man thinks | am westminster Alb
bey" And so he did
Ii was this same monarch whu,
when sitting at table one day, bet.
ween a nobleman and lady of high
rank, horrlfied them both by first wip-
ing his hands on the nobleman's coat
and then on the lady's skirts as IL
their mission in life was to
play the role of animated table
napkins. If he was unconven-
tionsl at least no fault could
be found with his plety, for he would
suddenly break off an interview. or
vanish in the middle of a garden
party with the announcement, Nov
| am going to pray"
Another interesting sovereign who
was among our many royal guests at
the time of the diamond jubilee was
the sable Queen of the Sandwich Is
lands. Never did queen exact more
rigid regard for her dignity. While
other monarchs we're only too glad
to escape ceremonial as far as posi-
BILE, her dusky majesty declined 10
leave her apartments without sover-
eign's escort of Life Guards; while
she declined to tread a measure unless
she had at least one Of our Queens
sons for partner.
Once she started to pay VISIT TO
Lord Tennyson at his home In the
Isle of Wight accompanied by re-
tinue of attendants. Hour after hour
passed and still Lord Tennyson caught
no glimpse Of his royal guest, for
whom he had prepared sumptuou,
throne. At last, when hope had fed
and the hands of the clock pointed
to witching hour of night, the Queen
arrived, weary and bedraggled, with.
out single attendant and without a
scrap Of luggage. She had lost them
all on the way.

CAPTURED
HERE TODAY

This afternoon Chief of Police
O'Neil arrested a man named Fred
Booker, who has been in the city for
some weeks and who is wanted on n
charge of forgery in Peoria, Ill.
Chief O'Neil received letter from
the Peoria officers some time ago,
giving a description of Booker, and
stating that he was thought to be
here. Through a clever ruse, Chief
O'Neil located the man and caught
him today when he called for his
mail.
1t is said that he and his wife had
S700 in a Peoria bank to their joint
credit, and that Booker forged his
wife's name and secured the whole
amount of money, left her destitute
and came west.
Booker was lodged in the county
jail to await instructions from Peor-
