BRyAN's QUESTIONS IGNORED.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The cate
chism of thirteen questions that Will
lam Jennings Bryan has propounded to
all Democrats 'in the attitude" of be-
coming candidates for the party presi-
Dental nomination next year has not
aroused much interest in Washington.
Diligent questioning among Demo-
cratic senators failed to show that the
catechism had been discussed even in
formally in the cloak rooms. and while
there was little inclination to talk
about the matter for publication no
secret was made of the fact that the
questions indicated Mr.. Bryan's ideas
Of Democracy and not at all qualiica-
tons necessary in a Democratic nom-
inee.

THE MAN WHO WINS.
The man who wins is an average man,
Not built on any particular plan.
Not blessed with any particular luck,
Just steady and earnest and full OF pluck.
When asked a question, he does not guess
He knows and answers: mo" or eyes,
When set to a task that the rest can't do,
He buckles down till he's put it through.
Three things he knows: That the man who
tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That it pays to know more than one thing
well;
That it doesn't pay all he knows to tell.
For the man who wins is the man who works;
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks,
Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes:
The man who wins is the man who tries.
