Bryan's Course
(NeW York Times)

There reed be illusions about Mr. Bryan He wanted the Baltimore nomination for himself It only the force of circumstances that made him the supporter of MT Wilson It is believed that he wants the nomination in 1916 and is laying his plans it. His way of dealing with those who obstacles in his path is well known. He attacked MT. Harmon, he attacked Mr. Underwood most unjusty and upon false grounds He turned against Speaker Clark in a critical moment, Baltimore. Suppose he is left out of the cabinet? :? What will he do? Reasoning from the character and ambition of the and his past practices we are forced to the conclusion that he would be hostile to the Wilson administration. that he would influence O obStruct policies. He would build among his following an anti administration party, and in many states of the union he has a large following That is the condition that would confront the administra- tion if MT. Bryan left out of the cabinet

MISS U ADAMS
TO HAVE
TOUR THIS SEASON

During the revision of Maude Adj
ans countrywide tour in Peter Pam
recently Charles Frohman hit upon
q plan whereby Miss Adams itinerary
for the season will include all the
western cities she wishes to visit, and
yet make it possible for her to APP
pear. in New York Christmas week.
AS originally. laid out, Miss Adams
route was confined to about two hun
-dred cities in the south. southwest
and northwest where Mr.. Barrie's "Pe.
ter Pam has never been seen. But
when Washington was added as a city
to visit on the way back from the
south. Mr.. Frohman said well, il
WASHINGTON why not New York;"
But Maude Adams appearances in
New York this season, in comparison
to those Of other years. will be very
few. There will be a necessarily linn
tied number Of Peter PAN" holiday
performances at the Empire theater,
commencing Christmas week. ]. NJ.
Barrie. who will have reached Amer
lea by that time, will be present at
the opening night.
New York will see Miss Adams in
no other play than peter Pan" this
season. Her other Barrie plays, "The
Legion Of Leonora" and 1.-THE Ladies'
Shakespeare" will b efirst produced
in the west next spring. preparatory
to their performance in New York
next fall.

Tea.
Tea drinking was invented by Chin
Neng 5000 years ago. An old woman
was accustomed to proceed. so the
story runs, every morning at day
break to the market place. CARRYING
"a cup OF tea in her hand. The tea
plant has grown for. centuries in
central Asia. but tea drinking now
began. the people bought it eagerly
from the old n Yet from
the dawn of day to dusky night. the
cup was exhausted. The money
received was given to the orphans ami
beggars; the old woman was sent to
prison. but at night she flew through
the prison window with her little vase
in her hands.
Tea was not heard of in China
again for $50 years. when a priest
advised its use as a medicine. In the
took some of the medicine and plants
to his native land. The japanese
liked the tea as a drink. and built
at Osaka a temple in memory OF
those who introduced it-a temple
still standing-7700 years old. Grad
ually the people of Tartary and Per-
sic also learned to love the drink
oLfu SSAsSu ~ ~ iouTS VI tHe Gay.
The Dutch and the Portuguese in
troduced the herb into Europe. In
the seventh century it became known
among persons of quality in Europe
In 1902 Dutch traders carried a guam
tity of sage (Which was then used
to make a popular drink in Europe)
to China. and by some ingenius de-
vice, the Chinese tea drinkers looked
upon this as a fair exchange for an
equal amount of tea. which was
brought home in safety and withou,
the loss Of a single Dutchman.
Origin of Contribution Boxes.
The contribution box is of Ameri-
can origin. In colonial days all con-
%tributions were made in the shape
of the n~ecessaries of life. 1t was in
this way that the preachers were
cared for. but the difficulty arose
when it came to providing for mis-
sionaries. 1t was impossible to send
la missionary on his journey with
bushels Of potatoes and pounds of
pork. Money became necessary. and
in some American brain the idea was
conceived of using the brass warm
ing pan to collect it. 1t vas easy
to Judge by the noise how m""" coin
was collected. Therefore it was de-
less noisy. Then followed a time
when the corr pepper did duty as IA
collecting plate: the sound of money
was no longer heard as it struck the
brass pan. but something more artis-
tic was felt to be in keeping with the
purpose to which the money was dc.
voted. and gradually there was
evolved the contribution box as wc
see 1t today.

let them rehearse three plays before

weeks, presenting a different play the
second week. The third week, bring
them into Grand Forks, where they
could present the two plays during
that week. giving each.three perform
ances. The fourth, week could be spent
IN. Fargo. Immediately after opening
IN Winnipeg. they could begin the
p~reparation of a fourth play. With a
third one prepared before opening,
they could devote four. weeks to pre-
pairing n or two more. This would
still permit Grand Forks and Fargo to
secure their regularsroad bookings.
There can be no doubt that such an
organization would do much for the
city. Local theater lovers. would in

one would Introduce such a plan. We
believe the support would be generous
and constant. Vive la stock company!
