BOB HENDERSON DEVELOPS TALENTS WHICH
WOULD HAVE MADE HIM CAPTAIN OF FINANCE

But one day Bob had date. In fact
he had date he very much wished to
keep. But he was short of cash. His
pockets were without holes, but had
each one had a dozen not a cent would
have slipped through them.
Naturally Bob became peevish and
began thinking up ways whereby he
could get his finger tips on some of the
coin of the realm.
At last an idea came to him. Has
tening to his home Henderson packed
a large bundle of clothing together and
left the house. In that bundle was
shirts and collars which had long been
discarded, pants. vests, in fact any
thing which would serve to fill up.
Ducking around the corner from his
house Bob hurried to his laundry.
There he met the driver who usually
delivered his things. To this man the
future policeman explained matters,
and deal was cooked up.
The driver took the bundle which
had been given him by Henderson into
the laundry and there the contents
were carefully wrapped up in large
sheet of clean white paper. A bill for
$6.45 was then made out and the driver
started for Hendersons lodging house.
There he delivered the laundry and
the kind-hearted landlady came
through with money enough to settle
the bill. The driver then returned to
Bob with the money and Henderson
was able to keep his date
Henderson settled with his landlady
when pay day rolled around again,
says Williams, but decided to give up
railroading and look for a job where
wages were paid once week.

arose. saying:
"When in are you fellows going

The awe-struck guard dropped his
gun and ran without a moments hesi-
tation. The shock seemed to stir up
his fighting blood, for he rushed to
DR.. Barlow's quarters and seized the
Doctors pistol.
Then, possibly realizing that he had
been fooled and that 1t was his "turn,"
he made for the brush, where half a
dozen of the privates, robed i'm sheets,
had taken positions around the
morgue.

roared, and in the quiet of the jun

One of the officers, fearing blood
shed. rushed up at this moment and or
dered Andrews to put away the weapon
while the men in the plot stole back
to their quarters by the shortest routes.

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN

III LILLIAN JENNINGS BRYAN is
w the most remarkable personal,
independent force that has not
been assisted by public office or by
circumstances of power derived from
office that this country has ever seen.
He is not only recognized by his coun-
trymen as an. intellectual as well as
moral and political power-and, by the
way, how often in history have we
had all three in association?--but he
has lived-and he has not had to wait
very long at that--to see his policies
adopted by the party in power and In
corporated in the program in virtue OF
which they hope to be continued in
power. In other words, Republicans
have saved themselves from being
swept away by storm Of popular in
dignation arising from the untoward
events that followed a reign of UNI
reason, in which hoggery was exalted
and roguery found it's glib defenders,
by proclaiming approval and indorse-
ment of what Republican orators few
years ago called. with curling lip,
Organism" Time for some men
brings forth its revenges and for others
it's indications, If they live long
enough, but in no human life has a
justification OF activity been more
clearly marked than in the life of
Bryan. He Is a greater man today
than ever he was In all his career.
There are many reasons for this, but
there is one that Is paramount. Like
the good knight Galahad he will realize
the visions that he has seen because
his heart is pure. Blessed are the
pure in heart. Deep is the philosophy
of that saying. "They shall see God"
They shall discern the import and the
purport of the eternal DEGREES and shall
be able to interpret them for daily use,
personal use, national use by men.
They shall see God, and seeing God
shall discern goodness. If we reduce
their mental system to an analysis,
they shall think in terms of righteous
ness Pure-hearted, pure minded, pure
lived is William Jennings Bryan,
good American, well fitted to carry the
banner of national reform to the
heights of achievement. When his
work and his policies shall have sue
ceeded in restoring to the school the
scholar and in giving all the little boys
and girls of the United States square
deal his picture will be on every school
house wall, alongside of those of Linz
coin and Washington, and his image
and his reputation as gratefully secure
