BREAKS RECORDS FOR NOISE

In the matter of noise making and
tumultuous demonstrations the con-
vention equaled, if it did not actually
surpass, any political convention in
history.
William Jennings Bryan was the
storm center of most Of the exciting
incidents.
Thursday night Colonel Bryan
threw bomb into the convention and
started the biggest uproar that had
broken loose up to that time when he
introduced a resolution declaring Nor
gan, Belmont and Ryan enemies of
the party, and placing the convention
squarely on record against the nomi-
nation Of any person who was in any
way connected, with these men or
their interests or in any way under
their influence. Bryan made a remark
ably fervid speech, denouncing the
predatory interests and Morgan, Bel
mont and Ryan in particular
The resolution was carried by vote
of 899 to $50.
Saturday Bryan again threw the con-
vention into disorder when, in chang
ing his vote from Clark to Wilson, he
made an attack on Murphy Of New
York and again roasted the so-called
Ryan organ-Belmont crowd" He
support no candidate who owed his
nomination to the vote of the New
York delegation.

PROPER TRAINING FOR YOUTH
Some Really Pertinent Suggestions by
One Who Is an Expert on the
Subject.

The New York papers were full a
few days ago with the case of a shop
keeper arrested for beating boy tor
mentor The court declared that he
would like to hear the opinions of a
number of people as to the proper pun
ishment for the man, and Immediately
hundreds of letters began to pour in
upon editors. A great many of the let
tiers showed far more sympathy with
the man than with the boy, declaring
that bad boys "pestered" the very life
out of some people, and that some Of
them ought to be boiled in oil" These
cheerful proposals are answered by
James P. Munroe, the well-known edu-
Gator of Boston, whose latest book
New Demands in Education, has just
been published. In one of the most in
teresting chapters, entitled The Don
2ing Of Long Trousers, Mr.. Munroe
outlines some of the peculiarities OF
the hobbledehoy just coming into man
hood.
LAS to those extremely disagreeable
qualities in youth" he says, Ibis self.
assertiveness, his arrogance, his scorr
of his teacher and of everybody else,
cantankerousness These sharp cor
ner-stones of his character which we
builders would so like to reject may
be made, on the contrary, the very
head of the corner in the boys educa-
ton. For it is these qualities which
will most quickly respond to any NOR
al appeal. If that appeal be wrongly
made, these qualities will all rise up
in rebellion against it; If it be rightly
made, every one will be a stout ally
TO make the work of the teacher fruit
full and enduring. If the boy show the
self-assertion which he calls manli
ness, then let him provo himself a
man by cultivating really manly quail
ties. If he love argument, argue with
him, but in the Socratic manner, sc
that he may prove out of his own
mouth the truth. If he would be mas
terful, overbearing, pugnacious, put
him in charge of weaker or smaller
boys, making him responsible for their
safety and right doing. Unknown tc
him those wards of his will protect
him far more than he will them"

Iananese Persistence.

Wakao Ippei, the wealthiest man III
the province of Yamanashi. Japan, did
not learn to read until he was sixty
years of age, nor had he up to that
time begun to accumulate his present
great fortune. At the age of ten he
started to make his own way in the
world. At one time he was a rag
picker. His first real business venture
was the purchase of crystal balls.
which sold at a good profit. AS he
grew in wealth he entered the silk
field. in which most of his money was
made. After reaching the age Of sixty
he engaged a tutor in Chinese classics
which study he pursued until his nine
tieth year.-Argonaut.
