nervousness. and the sergeant thought it
was downright funk.

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Latest Developments In the Bryan
Underwood Case Quite Funny.

Underwood Case Quite Funny.
From the Nebraska State Journal
The latest developments in the case of
Bryan VS.. Underwood contain the ele-
ment of comedy needed. to, make the play
truly satisfactory one. The pause to
laugh which is now demanded should
dissolve the clouds and avert the threat
ened Dloodshed.
Assuming the truth of newspaper re-
ports telling how. Congressman Under
wood. a stockholder in steel mills, had
blocked steel tariff revision in the Demo-
cratic caucus, Mr.. Bryan hoped upon
Underwood with hobnobbed boots. Mr.
Underwood was able to clear himself Of
this particular charge. and Mr.. Bryan
was somewhat Inundated in the process.
Herald, which was amazed that Mr..
Bryan should be SO careless as to at
tack a statesman on no better evidence
than a newspaper report.
Mr.. Bryan now writes the World
Herald TO Identify the newspaper state
ment on which he based his attack on
Underwood. Lo. il is a statement from
the news columns of the World-Herald
itself. Mr.. Bryan has snapped the
World-Herald in the act Of being amazed
that he should believe the contents OF
it's own columns. He invites the World
Herald to express an opinion of the
reliability of its report from Washington
concerning Underwood and steel
The World-HeraId has not answered
at this writing. nor even, so far as We
can discover, printed Mr.. Bryan's letter.
That II has access to a crushing reply
everybody with a memory year long
knows. Not later than the last State
campaign Mr.. Bryan made speeches in
Nebraska in which he characterized the
WOrld-Herald as utterly unreliable, a
stranger to the tpth. II in July. 1911,
he swallows the content of a newspaper
which as late as October, 1910. he re-
garded as wholly untrustworthy, isn't
he guilty at least of contributory negli-
gence and fully responsible for the con-
sequences? Has he any right to be sur
prised or even Tesentful that Senator
HitChcOCk's paper is amazed at his
acceptance of its statements now, when
it knows well how vigorously he doubted
its veracity a year ago?
The joke appears to be on both Bryan
and Hitchcock. hence its peculiar rich
ness Mr.. Bryan catches Senator Hitch
cocks paper taking his own view of its
unrela bility; while the World-Hcrald
has caught Mr.. Bryan-if il cares TO
realize the fact-basing his own reputa-
ton for accuracy upon the accuracy of
its columns. The million dollar laugh
this entities us to will help make up
for the seasons shortage of million dol

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By A. W. MACY.
WASHINGTON'S FIRST MONU-
MENT

MENT.
The magnificent shaft at the
National Capital, towering to a
height of 555 feet. Is not the first
monument that was erected in
honor of George Washington. In
the year 1909 the citizens of
Boonsboro, Nd, built one by
their own labor and entirely at
their own expense. The farmers
of the vicinity hauled great
blocks of stone and laid the
foundation, and upon this was
erected a huge pile of stones.
The spot chosen was the highest
point of land in that part of the
country, and the monument could
be seen for miles around. West
ern Maryland was largely set
tied by German immigrants who
had strong desire for freedom.
and no ties. political or social. to
bind them to Great Britain. There
were very few Tories to be found
In that part of the country. and
some OF the best fighting blood
of the Revolution came from that
section.

Boom Girl for President.

How would you take it, if, as a yet
unchristened girl babe, you were doomed
for the Presidency of the United States ;
How would YOU take it. conceding YOU
were able at that age to take anything
but nourishment and sleep, if you were
named as a future standard bearer of
the suffragette causeo
That is Just what faces the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt. jr. The Votes for Women
Club, of Los Angeles, Cal, has not only
taken time by the forclock, but has
yanked the very tresses from above its
withered brow, in placing tiny Miss
Roosevelt before the public as a Presi-
dental possibility. Anticipating that
the babe has inherited some of the
characteristics of her paternal grand
daddy, the club has sent the following
telegram to young Mrs. Roosevelt:
I'VE congratulate you upon the birth
of your daughter, and hope that she
will live to emulate the example of her
illustrious grandfather, and some day
become candidate for the Presidency
of the United States"
Now that this duty has been accom-
piished, there rests upon the suffra-
gettes one more obligation. The organi-
zation should wire the proud papa and
mamma that the babe be christened
Theodore" that Teddy" and IT. R"
shall not be lost to us when the young
lady assumes her Presidential duties.

Aviation for Society.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A woman who has taken to aviation
says she expects air fight to be taken up
by society as a sport, for the reason
that the high expense of machines and
operation makes its prohibitive for those
of moderate means. Society, which is
always on the outlook for some new
sensation. will, she thinks, soon adopt
aviation for its amusement because it is
a ~"high-class sport" "A woman" she
says docs not have to be trick bicy-
Gle rider or circus performer to take 1t
up, for such experience Is entirely un-
necessary" We hope her prediction
proves true. Nothing would please us
better than to know that the divorce

From the New York Mail.
The word samovar means 'self-boiler,"
and the thing itself Is good deal more
than the American teapot. You can

dium-sized samovar retails, II of brass

the Russia tea habit has not domiciled
itself more widely In the free-spending
parts OF this town. Most of the shops
where you drink tea brewed after the
Russian manner are on the East Side,

A girl in New York committed suicide
