A SURPRISED sWoRDsMAN.
spGgs 0offs's Play With a Dragging
F0neinu Master


A fencing master appeared in Boston
one winter in the seventeenth century
and had erected a stage on which he
strutted up and down at certain hours,
defying any and all to engage in sword
play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days and the mans boasts had be-
come insufferable Judge William COTE
and Edward Whalley, the famous Eng
lish political refugees, disguised them
selves in rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. COTE held
in one hand a cheese wrapped in a
napkin, which he used for a shield.
and carried a mop which he had soak
ed in muddy water as he passed a pud-
die.
Thus equipped, the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer rallied at him
for his impudence, asked him what
business he had there and ordered him
to begone. The Judge stood his ground.
Then the gladiator made pass at him
with his sword to drive him OF. The
Judge received the sword In bis cheese
and held 1t there till he had drawn
the mop over the professors face and
smeared him with mud. Another
plunge by the enraged maitre d'armes
resulted similarly. this time the judge
poking the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated a third time.
Then the maddened fencing master
dropped his ordinary sword and grab
bed.up a huge brOadsword. Therenpon
the judge said:
stop, sirl Hitherto. you see. have
only played with you and not attempt
ed to do you harm. but II you come at
me now with the broadsword know
that / viii certainly take your life?'
The master was impressed by the
frmness with which the judge spoke.
for be dropped the point OF his WEAPON
and exclaimed: "WhO can you BET You
must be either COTE. WhalIey or the
devil. for there was no other man in

Of Hartman has been humbled and
he seeks light ON his perplexities and
has decided to help his fellow msn

that matters have beGamei tangled

Somehow can hardly picture In
my mind's eye the inaatiate HarFia
man as = reformsr. He b master
Of Wall Street finance; he is q re-
publican politician. in 1904 he was
a delegate 10 the convention that
nominated President Roosevelt; his
advice was sought by Mr. Roosevelt
at crises Of that campaign and he
raised the money, which he assured
us turned the scale I'm favor OF the
republicans in the pivotal state of
New York. Since that embarrassing
episode for President Roosevelt, that
cratic gentleman has relegated Har-
riman to membership in the Ananias
club. where many other men of note
have also become charter members.
He now detests Roosevelt and does
not banker after Tart and my poll
cies."
IL may be concluded that the po-
litical situation is the tangled skein
that Hartman is seeking to unrayel.
He evidently thinks more highly OF
Mr.. Bryan than he once did. for he
says, Il am beginning to think more
OF my fellow man." He will UNI
doubtedly ponder in the vast solitude
of the mountain whether the success
of the democratic ticket is not more
to the advantage Of the country and
of Mr.. Hartman than the success OF
the corrupt and extravagant party he
has hitherto adhered to.
Thus good may come out of evil
and Hartman may be the chosen In
strument to thwart the powers Of evil
that for IL long years have oppressed
the American people. The pilgrim
age Of Hartman to the mountain
may result In a change Of policies for
the nation. A word from him would
pull half the purse strings of Wall
Street so tight that the demands OF
Treasurer Sheldon would be unheed-
ed and the balance of Wall Street
would not risk their cash to save
the sinking republican ship.
We are doubtless on the eve OF
great events the world over. There
is a demand for more freedom In
many quarters Of the earth and every
where is unrest In mems minds,
The old order OF things IL passing
away and new era is dawning that
will, through the growth of democ-
racy, dispossess autocracy and bend
the wills of emperors. kings, and po-
tenates for the benefit of those who
toll and spin and pay taxes. Eeven
the republican politicians here have
felt the whip and spur of the ever
living democracy and the good old
doctrine Of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, is becoming
a world wide shibbOleth that is ever
growing stronger and louder. No
wonder the world wise Hartman is
seeking counsel. that men can not give
him, in the solitude of the mountain.

Notifcation OF Nomination.
LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 1I.-wiI-
liam Jennings Bryan win be formally
notified Of his presidential nomina-
Etiou tomorrow and Lincoln Is already
nllinG up With visitors 10 aavRncs Of
the momentoas event. All roads
lead to Fairview today, where the
great NehFaskaR 10 awaiting In all
patience the breaking Of the glad
news tomorrow. Scores of demo.
cratic Leaders, are already hers
and Mr.. Bryan held numerous con-
ferences today. Despite the fact that
he is perhaps the busiest man in the
country, however, ne finds time to
greet the Nebraska admirers, many
of whom are farmers who have come
with their families to Lincoln to take
part in the general jubilation and to
see the man whom they confidently
greet as the next president.
While Lincoln. as a normally re-
publican city, has not always sup
ported Mr.. Bryan in his presidential
aspirations, the people universally
admire him as a man and are proud
of him as citizen. This pride is to-
day evidenced in the decorations, the
flags, banners and Bryan pictures,
which line the streets. Republicans
have Joined with democrats in thus
honoring Mr.. Bryan and there are
few business houses and residences
which do not bear some evidence of
the admiration which the occupants
entertain for Lincoln's most famous
citizen.
Every arrangement has been made
for properly entertaining the throngs
which will be here tomorrow to hear
the commoner's speech of acceptance.
The notification ceremonies will take
place at Mr.. Bryans suburban home,
Fairvlew, and the stage setting of
the great event will be of a disctinc
lively rural character.
The newspaper men who have fore
gathered at Fairview from all over
the land have found quarters in a
large tent erected on the grounds,
especially for their convenience. The
news-sleuths of the press have an
able ally in Mr.. Bryan's secretary
Robert F. Rose, former newspaper
man.
Mr.. Rose was the Associated Press
correspondent assigned to cover Mr..
Bryan's first campaign. After that
battle he became secretary to the
publisher of the Commoner. Now he
is on the job at Fairview doing the
heavy work. Mr.. Rose himself oc-
cupies a small tent Immediately in
the rear OF the Bryan residence,
where he sleeps with his boots on.
Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance
will be, in some respects, an answer
to that of Judge Taft He will reaf-
Arm all the policies adopted at the
Denver convention, and will pay spec
ial attention to the anti-injunetion
plank, the bank deposit guarantee
measure and campaign fund publiei-
ty.
