"Run." Keys shouted; they're com ing! But keep your hands up. If you turn right or left I'll shoot to kill. Make for the last cottage -tlat white building on the edge of the woods. Run!s
 Brainerd glanced behind at the mob of angry faces storming up the street after them, and did as his captor bid. It was no time for expostulation or explanation
 Shouts, cries and generations fol- | lowed them; a deep roar succeeded the skirmishing voices, and then some one l fired a revolver For an instant the l mob ceased it's noise and stentorian voice reached Brainerd and the sheriff "Stop!" 1t called; we want that man."
 You can't have him" Keys cried over his shoulder He's my prisoner, and he stands trial" As he raced past the double line of summer cottages, Brainerd saw here and there white faces appear and dis appear at the open doors and win dows.
 Brainerd noticed the least movement among the houses; he stared ahout him with a speculative, idiotic inter- est his very voice seemed numb, and he hardly could realize that he was racing for life. It was all nor rIble dream: there could be nothing real to it. and in a moment he would awake in berth and find His train wind na among the eternal hills. He reached the low fence before the cottage and vaulted it, alighting upon the close mown lawn. The front door opened, and a girl attracted by the noise, ran out upon the porch.
 Here" Keys cried to the prisoner, hold out your hands" Brainerd stop ped and turned to have handcuffs in- simultaneously fastened on his wrists. They want to lynch him. Keys said to the girl, he's Crimson"
 I'm not" Brainerd hotly cried as he turned toward the porch. I'm his voice failed him and he stared open mouthed,
 why, Mir. Brainerd!" the girl ex- claimed, in equal astonishment.
 The young man gaZed, stupetied, Ellen" he gasped, you here9" You!' The hoarse roar of the mob immediate ly recalled to him the seriousness of his position. There" he triumph antly cried, whirling upon Keys, you see! This young lady can identify me"
 Ou- CIl6u tu6 Sitl, WudL IS IL ~. Are they after MT Brainard? Surely they're not hunting you?" she contfn- ued to the prisoner What have you aone?"
 Done? Nothing. I'm on my way to California l was just dressed for he day when this man rushed in and seized me. I was dragged into the road and then the mob gathered be- fore I could say dozen words. It's a mistake. Tel who I am."
 Keys who had been unbeHevingly staring from one to the other, finally found his voice. Whats all this?" he weakly demanded.
 Hes Mr. Brainerd," Ellen said He and I were in the same class at the university Papa-he's-he's-Will, you know"
 Keys looked toward the roaring mob, now dangerously near.
 Lords sake!' he exclaimed. Aren't you Crimson? Have I caught the wrong man?'
 You have!" Brainerd said emphat- ically Here, now, you're responsi- ble for all this, Tell 'em I'm myself They'll lynch me if you don't Still Keys gasped and blinked, mur- muring exclamatory sentences to him. self. The mob reached the white fence, that went down before the rush

 We thank Iou, gentlemen, for the host pf good campaign liteLatuEe you are presenting us with There Mill be no earthly use for the democrats to go into hEstrikes oXer the high cost of things and qnsettIe business by more tariff tinkering.

IDEAS OF PLAIN MAN

l don't like typical Englishman, or a. typical Scotchman, or a typical Ger man, or a typical church member, or a typical literary man, or a typical musician, or a typical anthingarian- 1 like 8 Man.
 don't like a typical lady, or serv- ant. or club woman, or blue stocking, or working woman. or society favorIte. I like a Woman.
 l loathe, abhor and abonimante all stamps, dies. patterns, and artificial shapes impressed upon human be- ing. I like the pure gold.
 All professionalism, ecclesiasticism all mannerisms and affectations, all uniforms, cooked hats and badges, all classes, c1iques, select circles and re- probabilities that aim to substitute some artifciality for the individual are not for me I will take just plain Folks.
 There was never anything made or discovered in the way of eXcellencies, magnfficences, dukes, lords and ladies, that is so good as a plain. untrimmed and uuplumed Man-eXcept, of course, a Woman.
 I think if George of England or William of Germany or even college president or a millionaire and I were to get off by ourselves incOgnitO some where where I did not know he was somebody and he did not know l was nobody, and could go in swimming to- gether. and lie on the beach and dig our toes in the sand, and swap yarns, and be human, in the center of sky and ocean and earth and the high clouds we should like each other quite well. As 1t is there are thick walls between us, drowning with guns Of l hereditary fear, and manned with de- 1 termined ghosts.
 If you love me, tell me SC. Do not be always Praising me, Above all, de net say things you don't mean, just .to please me. Bring me no borrowed nor artificial stimalants to my affection.
 But if ever there is motion of your desire towards me, if some mo- | ment my eye or lip or hand or any at | titude of mine pleases you, do not fail
 to nete it, and upon proper occasion 1 confess it to me.
 1 The one thing love needs as it's daily 1 food is expression. You may be shy | timid, naturally seif-resuained. It may l be constitutionally difficult for you tC ] give vent to any generous admiration 1 You may even fear 1t will sound hypo- critical You may dread being mis-
 understood.
 No matter Keep trying. Form the 1 habit of saying outright what you think-if you think love. 1 If you conceal anything, let it be the 1 little repugnances arouse in you. Fol | these must needs be, both being hu- I man.
 And when it is all over. as it will be
 in a few years at least, perhaps days
 who knows? it will be these little
 nameless unremembered acts of kind
 ness and of love" that will make fra ! grant the memory of our days together | when but one of us is left.

 with her, if only to assure her that loved her through all that!"

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
A TEAPOT TEMPEST

"Heyts Keys shouted, waving his revolver. Stop! Wait! I'll explain."
 His action was; evidently construed into & hostile demonstration, but it checked the lrush and the shouting. The men stopped, trampling the green lawn into mfre.
 Its all 8 mista11e!" Keys believed. Don't know how I didsit; but he isn't Crimson at all. My daughter knows
 Mir Brainerd,' Ellen Keys said, loudly, as she stepped forword. I'm sure, for we were educated together. Father has madersome sort of a blum der-I dent know what, but he eer- taiIfly arrested the wrong man. know MT. Brainerd-intimatel
 She siQshed little at the last word, but held her ground and detiantly stared at the line of red faces.
 Well, I'm jiggered!" shouted some one.
 "Sa-ay, sheriff." beloved another, does that mean that Crimson is still on the train?"
 T guess 1t does" Keys acquiesced. Don't see how I did 1t, boys. The conductor helped though, for he point ed out this man as Crimson, and l ! didn't wait for any other identitica- tion"
 -gThe conductor must have been bribed," Brainerd suggested in an un- dertone.
 That's it" Keys exclaimed. Say, boys, that fellow was bribed. He pointed out the wrong man, see? The : other $ ,steaming west"
 There were q few exclamations of disgust, and then the mob, a moment before yelling beast like, broke into d roar of laughter.
 Keys shamefacedly turned to his captive. "SorTy,' he mumbled, as ne unlocked the handeuffs. Cant apol- ogi8e all that blamed conductors fault But you had a very close call young man. You may thank your stars that Ellen was here and recognized you. There, 1 must hurry to the tel egraph office. I'll have your baggage left at Murphy's for you, and you caI take the evening local there. Mean while you must let us entertain you here, and try to wipe out your first impression of Carson. Take care ot him, Ellen"
 With that he hurried away, the tai of the mob following at his heels and roughly chaffing him. Brainerd turned to the girl, sud den smile on his lips, and she. seeing ! the laughter in his eyes, blushed pain fully:
 I'm very sorry" she began. Pm not. You remember the last day at school? You told me I mighI visit you if your father should prov, l willing; but never, unless he invited me. Then you wrote me that 1t wa' all over; he had other plans; he didn ! like customers. And unless at his in- ! vitation you refused te see me or ever hear from me again"
 T wish you wouldn't" Ellen sail | plaintively. Please dent recall al that. It's ever."
 Its not!" Brainerd triumphantly shouted, with a sudden burst of laugh | ter; its not! Here I am, not enly i by special invitation, but actually me ! at the train and escorted to you b1 your father It's the letter of the law!' Ellen turned and preeipitately fleC | into the house and Brainerd as pre- | cipitately followed. | When Keys finally opened the parlol door, two young people rushed to ia
 sides of the room, and the sheriff stared.

CONSTITUTION OF CHINA.

ln it's infancy. the Chinese repuh- I.o is looking to the model set for h Jy this country. in the drafting of it's constitution. There has been a pre- liminary draft made, which must go before the representatives of the gov ernment for revision. but it shows that in many particulars the document un- der which this country exists was well perused What will be the final lay out of the republic is now an uncer- tain quantity and probably will be for some time. Only eighteen provinces are now included, but this is likely % he doubled China proper does not take in all the empire. which was a much greater territory than this coun- try embraces.
 In patternIng after the United States China divides Its congress into two branches, the same as this country. calling what would correspond 10 olr house of representatives, the council of the people, and what would be our senate, the council of the provinces. These two branches are to be in pra,- tically all particulars like those in this country serving four and six years, respectively.
 A decided change is made in the presidential term, where the agitation here For a six-year term with no re- election seems 10 have been favora- bIy considered and at present that :s included in the draft. except that in stead of no reelection, 1t is stipulated n7 president shall be his own lmul- aiate successor, There is marked change however, in the selection of president and vice president as theg win both be chosen by the national assembly

THE BASEBALL STRIKE.

It cannot be questioned that the base hall players, need projection, but there is T limit to- which they should go in the way of administering punishment to+ the crowd in view of the rllies by which they are supposed to be gov erned. The Ty Cobb incident was dis Eusing. A player who is paid $1o 00e 2, season and knows enough of baseball tQ get that money should have had better Judgment than to have gone in- 10 tue stand and beaten q cripple whe would have been ejected from the grounds gpon complaint of the umpire. It has led up to a serious situation for bis team mates He was suspended for breaking the rules. as he ought to have been, but for his team mates ,o lefuse to play ball thereafter makes baseball history. Nothing just like Ii ever occurred before.
 In striking. the players utter def- ance to the management and owners Of the team. They did so after plenty of time for thought and consideration They are deserving of similar treat ment to Cobb and it is in the interest of organized baseball that they should get it. If they are to be allowed to do as they please when they are get ting the salaries they dc and know the unpleasant side of the game ls they do, the authority of the manage ment can never again exert itself. lt is not the proper way to deal with the
 trouble from the grandstand and bleachers. The unprintable remarks that are hurled across the fields can~ not be countenanced but it is often as much the fault of the player as of the l rooter. Cobb lost control and his team mates are now giving him their ridio- ulous support in his error of judgment It is harsh treatment upon the inno- cent Detroit management.
