numbering his wife most barbarously.
She was not particularly delectabie sort

Mr. BRYAN Under Ban.

oh. go and hire hall:' For years tlns
has been the impatient reply To hore.
Usually he is long-Winded fellow with a
grievance, or a new scheme of doubtful
character. He buttOnholes YOU on the
street, and gesticuates with energy. Or
he invades Your office in business hours,
or corners YOU at lunch. and insists on at
tention. You weary of him in minute,
ard are thankful for sentence which eX-
presses your feelings and frees you from
your trouble.
But how strange that this reply should
now have been made to enc of the most
interesting men Of the day. and by those
who for years have been seeking him out
and hanging rapturously his words
Think of William }. Bryan forced to hire
nails In Nebraska in order to submit his
views TO his fellow-citizens on the political
issues OF the day! In time of changes
and surprises and uncertainties in poll
tics, is there anything more startling
than this?
Mr.. Bryans reflections must be too
warm for words. He has great gifts OF
expression, and has tackled n variety of
subjects in recent years. Full of criticism
Of men and measures, and ''hefty'' in OBJ
jursation when he tries. he yet must
pause in sort of despair when he con-
siders this situation and those who have
put The affront upon him.
Al the same time he is not without
fault. When he offered his services to
the democratic state committee he put
that body in a very embarrassing plight
So far as state matters are concerned, he
and il are not pointing in the same direc-
ton The committee is working for Dahl
man for governor. Mr.. Bryan has bolted
the DahlInan nomination. The committee
is not trying to drive the brewers and the
distilers and the saloons out Of politics.
Mr.. Bryan is. He proclaims that policy
as d necessity in behalf OF decent govern
ulciIt
Mr.. Bryan should have spared The COM
rlittee. lie should have hired halls with
out d suggestion from it, taking his own
line and following the line freely to the
end.
How VIII the Nebraska result affect Mr..
Bryan as a nationa! leader? II the re-
p,IblicanS carry the state and retain their
senator, the pahlman people will saddle
Mr.. Bryan with the responsibility. If the
democrats win, Mr.. Dahlman and mis-
friends will come into a good deal Of
power and use it against him whenever
ard wherever possible. Still, as Mr.
Bryan is a man of resources, he will not
be overwhelmed even by such a pre-
Gicament.

Fate's Coercion.

The man who is strong and whose
courage is sure
May mold situations a lot;
But certain conditions he has to endure,
Whether he likes them or not.
No matter how vast be the wealth he
may gain,
He oft has to hustle in catching a train,
And meet with delays which no one can
explain
Whether he likes them or not
He must fight with the germ, though
its size be no more
Than wee microscopicaI dot;
He must listen to stories he Oft heard
before.
Whether he likes them or not.
And cen the political views he may
nurse,
Get foiled. One mans bad, but the
other seems worse.
So he votes with his party and opens
his purse,
Whether he likes ii or not.
