How True.

Introducing Mr.. Bryan to his
New York audience Edward M.
Shepard used these words:
Though he has been heard by
more men and women than any
other orator of our race, though his
eloquence has for dozen years or
more been incessant and unwearied,
though during these yrs he has dealt
with almost every cause and interest
which may justly, ongidered hun,ans
itarian, and though in SO doing he
has not hesitated to risk offence
here or there; though nearly every
day of all these years he has lived
under the most constant and
piercing rays of that white light
which is said to beat upon the
thrones of Kings, still he has stead
fastly held not only the love, but
the confidence of the masses of men.
Although the White House at Wash
ington is occupied by a political ad-
versary of his, nevertheless he in
spires ard controls the political
ideas Of that famous mansion al
most as he does the gatherings Of
his own patry."

FORCE OF IMAGINATION.
Story of an Odd Incident In Dental
Hospital.

Story of an Odd Incident In Dental
Hospital.
A remarkable incident happened re-
Gently at a dental hospital. A young
woman went there to have five teeth
extracted. The anaesthetic decided
upon by the dental surgeon was ethyl
chloride, and this was administered by
the usual form Of apparatus. An in
dia rubber cap is placed over the pa
TENTS mouth and nostrils, and con-
uected with it is a bag into which a
sealed capsule of ethyl chloride is in
troduced. BY the turning of screw
from the outside the capsule is broken
and the anaesthetic liberated. The
screw was turned, the patient went off
gradually into the usual condition of
lnsensibllity, five teeth were extracted,
and the patient awakened without feel
Ing any part of the operation.
The whole case appeared perfectly
normal. Only when the young wo-
man had left the room and the ap-
paratus was being made ready for
mother patient was 1t discovered that
the capsule of ethyl chloride had by
some mischance not been broken at all.
The whole condition of insensibility
had been brought about by the self
|hypnotism of the patient. The idea
that an anaesthetic was being admin;
lstered was so strong in her mind that
she had passed into insensibility en-
tirely by hypnotic suggestion.-Bostor

THE koNeo FOREST.
Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt This
Reoiot, of Mystery

Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt This
Region of Mystery.
The mightiest forest of which the
human race has. any knowledge today
is that of the iSongo. 1t is region
of impenetl;als, mystery concerning
which accounts have been SO strange
that until the past few years they
have been deemed incredible. But re-
cent discovery has transformed scien-
tific incredulity into n measure Of be-
lief. Thus on the basis of Sir. Harry
Johnston's explorations of Uganda
giant ape larger than the gorilla is a
denizen of this tremendous forest re.
gion. There, too, are animals of
quite unfamiliar kind, notably the
okapi. The forest seems to be the re-
sort of the five horned giraffe, the
tallest mammal in the world. The
hugest elephants, bearing tremendous
tusks, are there. The largest fish
found in all Africa haunt the streams
meandering through the recesses Of
this forest. Lions seem not to pene-
trate into the thick growth Of the jun
gle thercabouts. The forest leopards
are arboreal, catching monkeys for
their food
The curiosity of the mighty forest is
unquestionably the okapi, large and
seemingly new mammal. discovered
by Sir Harry Johnston. In his books
of travel Stanley told Of an animal of
ass-like appearance existing in the
dense forest which was caught in
pits. The occurrence of anything like
n quadruped of the equine sort in the
thickness of an impenetrable forest
seemed so anomalous that no scientist
of standing would credit the possibil.

Harry Johnston to Investigations

Mr.. Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan sincerely believes that
his election to the presidency would
be a blessing to the country, and
therefore he feels it his duty to give
the country as many chances as it
desires to elect him. We acqnit
him Of personal ambition in the mat
ter. He knows enough of the presi-
dency to be aware that great respon-
sibilities rest upon the president,
and that there are no peace, quite
and happiness for the occupant of
that Office. He realizes that he is
better loff in his present position
than he could possibly be in tile
White House.
Free, comfortably rich, honored
by his fellow citizens, leading life
of congenial employment, happy in
his home, surrounded by harmoni-
Gus family, with no responsibilities
but those of a citizen, Mr.. Bryan is
much more envied than he would be
as president, with weighty affairs
encumbering him, always facing the
possibility Of making mistakes and
forfeiting his popularity, perpetual
ly the prey to anxiety.
But Mr.. Bryant is willing to sac
rifice all the advantages he now en-
joyes ii the people call upon him to
do so. He really thinks that as
president he could be Of great use
to the country in combating the in.
creasing tendency to allow wealth tc
rule, in regulating predatory rich
men, in restoring the old equality ol
opportunity before the law. Great
numbers of democrats agree with
him in this respect and republicans
have come to respect him. If he is
a candidate against any weak repub
lican the chances are that he vii
be elected, for great many persons
believe that Mr.. Bryan is no NOR
radical than President Roosevelt.
The change in public opinion o
Mr.. Bryan in the past eleven year
is remarkable. No other publi
man in our history was ever more
reviled than he was in 1896. DE

Sixth, the persons in control
should be sufficiently enlightened to
study, as far as possible each sepa-

And finally, every state should
make study Of those forms of crime
which are the result of economic
conditions.
These suggestions, of course, are
of mere palliatives. The real prob
lem is this: How shall the state pro-

lieve this must be done by abolish

to live a life that is based on selfish
ness and the denial of others, and

In sense, says the Livermore,
Iowa dispatch, the "bottom has
dropped out" of a highway running
south Of Livermore and the people
of the vicinity are amazed by one of
,hs strangest phenomena ever re-
corded in this county. Extending
completely across the highway and
measuring about thirty feet in d.
ameter. there is depression about
thirty feet deep, at the bottom Of
which there is running stream of
water. This depression was first
noted last Saturday and has gradu-
ally grown deeper, the ground seem
ingly melting away. The sides of
opening have gradually extended.
Accompanying the dropping down
Of the ground there is another phe-
nomenon the spouting. Of wells

few days these wells have had a
strong flow of water, occasionally
throwing it approximately 100 feet in
the air. No one here has under
taken to explain the strange freak
of nature.

New York, who placed Mr.. Roose-

Discussion Of the best pronunciation
of Latin recalls to the Liverpool Post
a story about the Duke ofsWellington.
1t was about the year 1874, and the
chancellor in his gorgeous robes was

Whenever the name Carolus occurred
the duke persisted in pronouncing the
"o' long-"Caro-lus."
1t was ut last too much for one of
the dons standing behind him, SO, lean

will excuse me, 1 should like to point
out that at Oxford we call that word
'Car-olus.'
"Yery good" said the duke. "Thanli

the name Jacobus, which, mindful OF
his lesson, he pronounced "Jac-obus."

Abolish Penitentiaries and Capital Pun
ishment,


trhe following article wri ten especially for
this newspaper by the author of The Turn OF
the Balance Is particularly striking following
as does the remarkable series of articles by
Miss Jessie NJ Part on on the treatment of Of
tenders against the law in America -Editor.)
BY BRAND WHITLoCK.
Mayor of Toledo, o., Novelist and Sociologist.
There is no subject Of which men
are so ignorant as that Of crime and
criminals, and mono of which they
are cocksure.
The criminal laws Of today are es-
seDtially what they we're century
ago. Criminals are dealt with ac-
cording to a theory G,000 years old.
Progress has been made in civil law,
medicine, surgery and science, but
the criminal code has stood still.
Yet, to anyone acquainted even
with criminal statistics, it must be
clear that our system has done no
good.
The reason is not far to seek. All
we have done is to draw moral
deadline which we call the law, and
to pretend that all who stay on one
side of that law are good and that
all that step over it are bad; that it
is the duty Of the good to punish the
bad, and that to punish them it is
necessary to hurt them.
1t seems to me the first thing is to
abondon the delusion that a state
can improve the morals of its people
or protect itself by following the ig-
norant course that all concede to be
a failure. 1t should abandon hatred
for reason.
| would suggest therefore
First, the abolition Of capital pun.

as it itself sets the example of killing
Second, the penitentiary systcn
