What more proof can any one ask !?

In an editorial entitled. Be Just to

says; "Fhere are quite a mum Der of
southern centem poraries that are not
exhibiting the proper strain of courtesy
to Mr. Bryan. They are either assum-
ing that he intends to be candidate
in 1912 or ridiculing him for the pur-
pose of preventing his candidacy. NO
one is justified in assuming that Mr..
Bryan. wants the nomination in 1917.
Still less is ridicule warranted. Mr..
Bryan deserves nothing but the kind
ly regard of the democratic party. He
did everything in his power to lead
it to success ans though he failed OF
election, no fair minded man will say
that he has not given tremendous
impetus to reform. a His recent can
vass was in many respects the greatest
of our history In its loftinsss of tone;

been surpassed, and nothing happened
to lower him in the esteem of his
ceuntrymen. Mr.. Bryan 10 not seek

turned to his place in the ranks to

simply perpetrate libel upon him,

for these newspapers to urge the claims

this without attacking Mr. Bryan. All

the fair WAS held each year. As the dis tance to town was only three miles, Tom felt 1t would be unnecessary to ask his father for team of horses and a wagon to carry his "prize" hog to the Fair. for the horses were all kept busy with the fall blowing, and could not well be spared. So he planned on leading or driving the hog to town. making an early start and taking as much time to make the journey as the hog seemed to want. Of course, his being so fat would necessi- tate their travelling very slowly.
 The morning before the Fair was to open Tom started downward with the hog, whom he had called by the name of Blue ribbon The first half mile was cov- cred without any trouble, but at the end of that distance Blue-ribbon became very tired and refused to follow Tom, or to be driven by him. Indeed, he just walked out to the roadside, found shady spot under a fine green hedge and lay down to rest. Tom, who always felt deep sym pathy for dumb animals, decided to let the poor fat fellow rest awhile. and dur ing the interval would take nap him self under nearby tree that shaded a spot of green grass on the roadside. So, seeing Blue-cibbon fast asleep under the hedge, Tom stretched himself on the grass in the shade, not twenty-five feet from where rested the prize" porker.
 For over an hour Tom slept, for he was very tired from the walk in the hot September sun, having done a num- Der of chores that morning before leav- ing home. And Blue-rlbbon had not been A very good travelling companion, for he had continually wandered from the road, obliging Tom to run after him very, very often. So, while they had covered

1t from his pocket. Ny turnip says it's quarter after nine" he said. "Moley hosesl I've got to be drivin' on. If see yer hog on the way to town I'll yell back to you. He may have stole march on you, Tom"
 The farmer laughed. jumped Into hls wagon, clueked to his horses to be going and was of down the dusty road.
 For some time Tom remained at the spot, wondering what course to pursue. Then he decided to go on to town, stop ping at the farmhonses on the road and learn whether or not Blue ribbon had been seen passing that way. He did not think the hog had taken the road leading home, for 1t was mostly up hill from the spot where he had been resting, and naturally, the fat animal would prefer going down grade.
 Tom made inquiry at several farm houses, but could hear- nothing of his hog So he decided to stop at the fair grounds and make his excuse for not entering the hog, as he had already listed him for exhibition. Then he would go on to the office of the town paper and advertise Blue-ribb in the Lost and Found column.
 He hurried to the business office at the fair grounds and told of his loss. While he was talking to one of the men Tn cnarge or the live stock exhibit, boy came running into the office, grinning from ear to ear. Say, boss" he ex- claimed, "thar's fine big hog just come in through the gate, an nobodys with i'm. What'll we do with i'm, put i'm in one of the hogpens? I reckon he's come to the fair to sho' hisself, fer he's a beaut."
 Say, I guess that's my hog" said Tom, addressing the boy, who was one of the ''roustabouts' on the grounds, and who helped to look after the animals. 'I'll just go and look him over"
 The business man and the boy and Tom went to the spot where the stray hog had entered the fair grounds. And, sure enough, Tom found Blue-ribbon there, looking pretty tired and hungry. When he heard Tom call him by name he looked up quickly and waddled to his owners side. ..Yep. he's my property; but how he ever got to this place without my bringing him Is a puzzle to me" And Tom laughed heartily. Well, we'll enter him in regular form now, Mir. Jackson" Tom added, turning to the gentleman in charge.
 And sure enough. when the fair was over Tom found that that 'prize'' pig had taken a blue ribbon and you can imagine that Tom himself was the proudest boy in the county.

was gagged he could not cry out to those of his own species to unbind him and set him free. He was soon confined in the hold of the boat, several huge, star ing, blinking monkeys keeping guard over him. Oh, the mental anguish that the poor boy suffered at that moment! Bound, gagged, in the custody of heartless mon- keys, and in the hold of an African sailing vessel. And what would his dear ones at home think about his absence? They would mourn him as dead or accuse him of being so wicked as to run away from home and leave them in suspense of his whereabouts. No one can imagine poor Franks mental suffering.
 "Ah, while We are making the voyage we'll train our captiv",'' said one old monkey. And he took from the corner of the ship a long whip, which he began to lash about, cracking 1t toward Frank When l tell you what to do, and you fail to imlrate me correctly. I shall lash you with this whip" he said, speaking to Frank. That is the way the humans train us to do tricks. They first capture us-just as we have captured you-and then they subdue us, break our spirit and make us fear them. They beat us and starve us into obediencs. And that is

And, besides, his loneli- ness there is another thing to be consid- credit is the punishment he must suffer while being trained, for it is a fact that trainers of animals resort to the whip in teaching their dumb victims. It is cruels to say the east'
 Frank thought over what his uncle said, and began to feel the keenest sympathy for the dumb creatures that were at the mercy of the trainer. While he was deeply meditating on some plan by which stop to the practice of animal training might be brought about his uncle rose and said he must have a smoke before going to bed late as 1t was. You can turn In whenever you like, son." said Uncle Ben. "For I'll stop down stairs in the smok- ing groom till I've finished my cigar. Gee! but I'd like to take a whiff at my old pipe I don't fancy cigars much; but I'll have to content myself with one tonight, as my pipe is at home, hundred miles from us tonight"
 After Uncle Ben went down stairs to the smoking-room Frank sat in big, easy chair beside an open window. But he was not interested In the busy throngs of the streets, 10 stories below, for he was still thinking about the torture of the poor dumb animals that were trained for public shows. Something ought to be done," said Frank to himself. s"How would we like being taken by monkeys to their haunts and made to live as they live, and to perform their tricks to amuse other monks? I guess 1t would come pretty hard"
 But Franks sentence was interrupted by someone entering the door. Frank turned about, expecting to see his Uncle Ben; but, to his surprise. he saw a small, strange-featured creature standing there, with round, bright eyes on him. Then Frank recognized the very same monkey that he had seen performing such clever tricks at the roof-garden show an hour before. The monkey had divested himself of the clothes, cut mans fashion, and appeared in his natural attire, which was fine coat of long hair.
 'Why, what brings you here to this hotel?" asked Frank. never dreaming that the monkey would reply in words to him. But he was somewhat taken aback when the monkey spoke in good English: "I. have come to invite you to go to my home in Africa and become the leading actor at tree show my friends are plan- ming to give there. We want only hu- mans to perform for us''
 "Oh, but do not wish to go to Af- rica," declared Frank. ''I would be most unhappy there-just among monkeys"
 But we want you" insisted the mon- key, coming into the room and closing the door behind him. ''It isn't a Ques- tion of whether or not you wish to go with me; it Is the fact that l want you, and shall f1nd the means of carrying you of. whether or not you consent to 90"
 Frank was about to laugh at the mon- kay's absurd threat when the door a9ain

 But Myrtle shook her head emphatical- ly. "No, Mamma, I haven't left this spot. l have been sitting right here ever since you left me. And here is the basket safe and sound"
 Myrtle's mother was dumfounded. She knew that Myrtle would speak only the truth. Also, she thought she knew that she had returned to the spot some time ago and had found the child gone. What could it all mean, anyway?
 Well, darling, we'll not bother about how l missed finding you awhile ago, but rejoice that l have you at this instant. Come, dearie, let's go. I must tell the policeman over there that I have found my lost child and then phone out home to the maid to tell Papa-if he has ar sound in my care.'
 Then as Myrtle's mother told her of the alarm she had sent Into the station house, and also of her phone to the maid at home, Myrtle said. "Why, Mamma, thto IS thc btlduScSt luluS ever utdId of. I sat right there on that chair dufs ing the time you were away and still you couldn't find me on your return. Really, Mamma, 1t Is mysterious, and---'
 But her mother interrupted her. 'Oh, Myrtle, there is'another huge pile of cab bages, and as I live there's chair be- side them, too. I came to this pile of cabbages looking for you. Yes, here Is the very spotl No wonder I looked in vain. Well, l am stupid, anyway"
 NO, Mamma, you are not stupid The market people have no right to build up two mountains of cabbages in one end of the market place-and only little way apart, too-to confuse people, But I am so glad, Mamma, that we have solved the mystery, for I was beginning to think that either you or I had been asleep and dreaming. But I'm glad to be wide awake and to find that you are the same. Mercy, but was getting un- easy when you stayed away so long"
 And I was losing my mind over not being able to fnd you, dearie," declared Myrtle's mamma. But everything is all right now. In future I'll take you with me everywhere, though, for I shall never leave you any place alone again--not even for few seconds"
 Unless we are sure there is but one pile of cabbage" smiled Myrtle. well. 1t will be a good joke to tell to Papa, won't it?"

 Tom hurried to the spot where he had seen Blue-ribbon reposing when he him. self had sought rest close by. Sure enough, 1t was as the farmer had said; there was no hog there. Where could he have gone?
