Rome, June 27-The celebra-

strangeness OF the situation he

recalcitrant manner that Austria
has participated in the lnterna-

are usually obtained by the name OF
some animal with more or less I'M

Bryan, the Pathfinder.
I Monroe NEWSSTAND

Just as we anticipated, when the pros
poets for Democratic victory in the next
presidential election appeared so roseate,
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan, the three
times presidential nominee, arrogates to
himself the right to dictate to the Demo-
Gratis of the House of Representatives what
shall and shall and shall not be done. AS
is we'll known, Mr.. Bryan is not member
of the House, nor is he commissioned by
any party organization to dictate or direct
the tariff policy OF the House. His inter-
ference is characteristic of the man, who,
if he cannot rule, will attempt to ruin. His
propensity for 'butting in in is sincerely
regretted, for it may shatter the hopes OF
the party for success all down the line in
November, 1912. The members of the
House of Representatives are fresh from
the people, and they are commissioned to
deal with the tariff question. When Mr..
Bryan assumes to be greater than the peo-
pie ar the Democratic party, through its
chosen representatives, he violates funda-
mentally that doctrine Of ''let the peo-
pie rule' which ne has so often preached
but which he fails to practice when appli-
cation is personal. Then he prefers to
"let Bryan rule

Binder RACING.

Lord Devon's property was greatly
impoverished by the twelfth earl. who
squandered nearly all his fortune and
terribly embarrassed the entailed
property. He was addicted to Il most
peculiar form of gambling. namely.
spider racing, which he played with
the last Marquis of Hastings and the
eighth Duke of Bedford. Each player
selected a spider, which was placed on
the table, and then the latter was
gently heated from underneath. The
warmth caused the insects to run, and
the spider which got to the edge first
won. But spiders are curious crea-
lures, and It would frequently happen
that spider which was near the edge
and looked like winning would dou-
BILE back, traverse the table in all di-
rections and lose it's hacker the thou
sands Of pounds so nearly won. Lord
Devon, Lord Hastings and the Duke of
Bedford each of them squandered
enormous sums on this game, which
contributed in no small degree to the
ruin Of the two former.-New York

Fortnight Years Ago at Vlcksburf.

From the History of the Third Louisiana by w. H. Tunnard
June %. Clear and warm. The sharp
shooting very lively. Artillery compare
lively quiet. No special change in the
aspect of affairs. Two regiments on the
right. Texans, we believe, charged upon
the enemy outside the lines, capturing a
colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, captain and
eight prlvates, $50 stand of arms, spades,
shovels, etc.; killed and wounded forty,
losing only eight men. This little episode
of the seige caused much excitement and
enthusiasm along the whole line. The day
closed clear and cool. Killed: Charles
Dupuy, Company A.
June 23d. Cool, clear and pleasant. The
activity of the enemy increased. They
opened fire on the city from 100 pound
PARROT gun, planted on the peninsula, up
ward of three miles distant. Between this
gun and our lower batteries a fierce duel
occurred, exhibiting some splendid skill in
handling heavy artillery.
A feverish excitement and expectation
prevailed of hearing something definite
from Gen. Johnston, and as day after day
passed without any reliable information OF
succor, the anxiety became intense. The
constantly decreasing rations admonished
the men that the seige must terminate dis
astrously if succor did not soon reach them.
Wounded: S.Kohn, Company A; Alex
ander CARA, Company G.
June oath. Commenced raining in the
night. A dark and lowering morning.
About IL IN. at night a heavy skirmish
commenced on the right. The mortars
beloved forth their hoarse thunder, and
four rifled batteries kept up continual fire
on the city from the front. On the lower
river batteries heavy concentrated attack
was made, resulting harmlessly. The en-
envy across the river were very busily en-
gagged at their usual sport. The balls from
their long range rifles penetrated to Wash
ington Street, killing one and wounding
two men. The evening was beautiful, and
the moon shed its soft effulgence over the
embellishments of the beleaguered city.
The wearied mind of the soldier, with all
the surroundings of grim-visaged war,
could not but yield to the witching influence
of the spell, and dream of home and the
loved ones, and speculate on the probable
destiny that awaited him. OF the inward

THE VALUE OF A MAN.

The man hunt is the first business in the
world, for behind every magnificent deed
is doer, and we must seek the explana-
ton of mighty accomplishments in man.
Therefore it is no mean or vulgar question
to ask, who is the most valuable man?
Evidently we shall not find the answer
in such empty things as name, lineage,
profession or place, but in human qualities.
And though the demand in various walks
of life has created many special standards
of value for men, the mighty conquering
qualities, it may be said, constantly drift
down to about these two, viz, ability and
integrity, or, as general variants, gifts and
conscience applied, which swings US facing
the man who can and who will, as opposed
to the man who cannot and will not.
The persistent demand is for men who do
things. When for a young friend man
filed the seventy ninth application for a
position in certain great establishment
the friendly managing vice president said,
in answer to the insistent demand for his
employment "in some places" "Sorry,
my dear sir, but we never have vacancies
for some place men. but we've been hold
ing wide open for these seven weeks fine
place for one place. man. We need
him, and need him so badly that we are
willing to do his work for him as best we
can till he comes to us-and then to pay
him any price he asks
Inviting and lucrative positions remain
vacant, all eloquently calling for not a man,
but tie man! And no others need apply.
Ability of body and mind is essential,
but integrity is of vital Importance. The
chief demand is for trustworthy men. Able
men, it's true, but able trustworthy men.
Brilliant men, yes. if also to be trusted in
the dark. Broad Drained, highly trained
men, of course, but only if absolutely
trustworthy.
Thus from every where the serious call
comes to young men and women to-day
not SO much to do great things, but to be
great in themselves-frst in qualities
afterward in deeds. But the way is ever
marrow" and the gateway ''straight, y
and only the chosen few find it, many Of
whom have struggled up from the lower
levels of natural unfitness and the un.
friendly moods of fortune by sheer pluck
and Christly inspiration to cherished sue
cess in estate and faith. The high quail.
ties which "make good" are identical in
this world and the next when truly ap.
piled, and the real successes and the rea
failures here serve to point the way, after
all, to triumph or defeat hereafter. Goo
seems to hold the mirror up before US day
by day.
The best men must do their best. He
will do the rest.
