why Mr.. BRYAN Has neen Defeated.

Why mFs Df al mas DeeH DeiSdtSus
Naturally there will be a multiple
ity of explanations of the result of
the presidential election. The real
cause Is, as usual, not so far TO seek.
Mr.. Bryan, despite his estimable
personal character and brilliance as
al orator, is not looked upon as a
safe man to be entrusted with official
authority.
This is not to be wondered at. He
has never recanted his financial
heresies and probably never will.
The very faculties of mind which go to
make him SO charming an orator make
against the qualities essential to the
dischargesof administrative and exec
ntive functions. He is. recognized as
brilliant advocate, but lacks much
OF being sage counsellor. Any man
Of middle life with much business ex-
perience will reeongnize the same
thing amongst the members OF the. bar.
The brilliant talker, the persuasive
advocate, the successful verdict get
ter is rarely the. quiet, level, clear
sighted lawyer to whom men go to be
gnided through Thea rapids and past
the Whirlpools of life, in their business
and personal affairs which they.desire
handled without attracting attention.
Mr.. Bryan is unquestionabiy capa-
Bile of being of great use and value to
MS party and the country "in opposi-
tion." The thoughtful, property hold.
ing masses recognize that he is ia this
proper element when sin opposition, .
and have declined to remove him. from
his sphere of greatest usefulness.
He can show how not to do it. In
office he would be failure.
Appeal to Class Prejudice Rebuked.
There will be general concurrence on
the part of level minded citizens, ire
spectfVe of political affiliations, in the
view taken by the New Orleans Times
Democrat of the futile attempt made
during the recent campaign to line up
the union labor OF the country with
one OF the great parties as against The
other. In the course of an editorial
commenting on the results of the ma
tional election the Times Dempcrat
says:
Probably the greatest surprise was She failure
OF the organized labor vote to cut the figure that
had been SO confidently expected in some quar-
tiers. for all practical purposes. Mr.. Gompers
and his federation officers might better have re-
Trained from participation in the fight In most
OF the states where organized labor was supposed
TO be strongly for Mir. Bryan, it is fairly plain
that the labor vote was largely cast for his OPP
ponent vino ran surprisingly well in the cities
ana the great manufacturing centers. In the net
the support of organized labor apparently not
only failed MIR. Bryan, but it probably alienated
the support OF certain elements antagonistic to
Mr.. Corners and his federation. The conclusion
seems to be tnat labor does not vote as u class,
and that the efforts TO throw this support in mass
to one party or the other have from the begin
ming beer virtually wasted. 1t is perhaps as well
that this is So The attempt to create class feel
ing to lead men to vote by trades or professions
rather tt2n IN obedience TO the dictates OF their
individual reason and consciences is hardly to
be commended.

and we we're brought face to face with
another long winters night, my heart
failed me altogether; | felt that there
was curse upon us, and that we
were doomed men, singled out to die
of famine the most cruel of deaths, be-
cause the longest. Think of ninety
six hours in an open boat, in January
in the Chopsa, northeast gale blowing
most of the time, with butter, and no
drink but the salt water washing in
the boat! And yet when the Friday
morning came we were still alive,
the captain steering, doubled up with
faintness and the cold, his knees
against his mouth, and his head loll-
ing for want of strength in his neck;
DAILY and Parsons lying still as dead
men under the thwarts; and me in
the bows, too weak and broken-hearted
even to cast my eyes around the sea
to notice if there was a vessel in sight
"The morning passed.; the afternoon
passed. We're we to go through an
other night? The sun was within half
an hour of his setting when Parsons,
who was leaning his breast on the
gunwhale, stood upright and pointed.
His mouth was full of froth, and as

his lips, but no words he spoke; it
was naught but kind of death-rattle
in his throat. We all looked in the
direction he pointed ro.and saw large
sailing vessel heading right down for
U.s. How we watched her! all of us
standing up, never speaking, and only
moving with the roll and toss of the
boat. 1t took her an hour to approach
us, and then she hove us a line: but
her people had to sling us aboard.
None of us could move. Nothing but
the excitement Of seeing her had
allowed us to stand. The moment the
line was in the boat and we were
alongside, we all became as helpless
as babies.

four nights in the month of January

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear ~
stone away at last, SO will the use Of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite ane indigestion.
Fortunately mary are thougbsYuI
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago had lot of trouble
from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. / got so / was unable to di
gest scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
last resort tried it. I am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans so that can now eat anything I
desire. But stick to Grape-Nuts."

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

RECIPE FOR REAL TROUBLE.
CheerfuIIy Contributed to an Already
Unhappy World.

Trouble making is an older industry
than the manufacture Of steel. Cain,
the trouble maker, got into action be-
fore Tubal Cain, the iron worker;
and Eve got Adam into hot water long
before the Boiler Makers union began
business.
There are three kinds of trouble
imaginary, borrowed and real.
Imaginary trouble consists of rail-
road accidents, earthquakes, fires, sui
cides, the poorhouse, death, and the
grave, carefully mixed and taken
after late dinner, or drop in the
stock market
Borrowed trouble is the kind we get
from our relatives. It's principal in
gradients are visits, borrowed money,
birthday presents, advice and expecta-
tons. But the real article is pro-
duced as follows: Put the sandals of
endurance on your feet, take your life
in your hands and follow by turn the

Heep to yourself during warm,

and apologies when she says

were sitting on the porch, presum-
ably enjoying the tender twilight, she
suddenly picked up a stool and threw
