BRYAN TALKS TO
MONTREAL CLUB
Nebraskan Warmly Welcomed
! by Cheering ThrOng in the
Old Corn Exchange.

Montreal, Feb. 10.-William J. Bryan
addressed the Canadian club at their
weekly luncheon this afternoon. The
hall of the old Corn exchange in St.
John street was thrOnged, about five
hundred guests sitting down to the
luncheon.
Mr.. Bryan was welcomed by round
of tumultuOus cheering. He said he
was glad he belonged to a political
system under which he could wish Can
adams well without being accused Of
being unfriendly to his own country.
He belonged to a political school that
believed that every person had right
to do what he wanted to do, so long as
he did not interfere with the liberty OF
other persons. Each state and nation
had an undisputed and inalienable right
to do what it wanted to do, so long as 1t
did not interfere with another state or
nation. He and those who were of his
school watch Canadians growing and
prospering and, instead of envying
them, rejoice when they prospered-
He considered himself an Optimist'
and, though he had his eyes and ears
open TO the sorrows of the world, that
would not discourage him from working
toward the triumph of righteousness.
Everywhere he travelled he saw signs
of regeneration and progress. Speaking
of the so-called yellow peril he
thought it would be impeaching the Al
mighty to fear the elevation of any one
race. The advancement of China could
not take place without raising at the
same time the Chinaman's education.

Some Beautiful pahlias--

In the windows OF the HoeAer store
are some dahlias so beautiful in color
and delicate texture that they are
worth while going to see. Especially
to lover OF flowers will these dahlias
seem OF unusual interest. In every
''old fashioned" flower garden over
hall the world will be found the hardy
'dahlias, but seldom are they really
beautiful or delicate; rather are they
valued for their hardy, snowy, or pc
rennial qualities, but these in the
Hoeher windows, which may be as a
sample of what may be done with the
dahlia in Astoria, are as delicate in
coloring and texture as chrysan-
themum, In fact, with their leaves
curled to points, these dahlias look
like chrysanthemums. They we're
grown by Mrs. J. E. Ferguson, ac-
cording to the card in the window
with the flowers.
