An Uncanny Old Mansion.

The old manor house OF Fritwell
near Banbury. has been the scene OF
several tragedies, and the local legend
Is that 1t is haunted by the ghosts of
two of the victims. In duel there a
Mr.. jackson was killed about the year
1712. when he place was let to fam.
lily named Longueville. There were
two brothers. both of whom were In
lOve with the same woman. The
younger imprisoned the other In a hu
man dog kennel In an attic, so the
story runs. and kept him there for
fourteen years until he died of starva
ton. A few years later Sir Baldwin
Wake bought the estate. Sir Baldwin
and his two sons were playing cards
very late one night when quarrel
arose. The tradition Is that the father
struck his eldest son so heavy a blow
that he died Immediately. The father
and the youngest son concealed the
body In the kennel which had seen tn.
death Of Longueville. Twelve years
afterward Sir Baldwin Is said to have
confessed on his deathbed that he had
caused the death Of his son. The hu
man dog kennel. to which access was
gained through the sliding back OF a
cupboard. remained until ten years ago
when the house was renovated. dun

WHY BRYAN pAeeERED CLARK
rifed democracy.

Mr.. Bryan has let the cat out of
the bag as to why he bolted his in.
structions, plunged the dagger of
Brutus into Champ Clark and went to
Wilson. 1t was because he was still
smarting under the sting of defeat for
temporary chairman, in which contest
Clark remained neutral and did not
get out and tear his shirt for Bryan
and act the fool generally. That New
York business was only an excuse for
the attack, as every sensible man
knows. Listen to his own words:
Il have received notice by publica.
ton only of the statement of Speaker
Champ Clark. The only criticism |
have against Mr.. Clark is not that he
has acted wrongfully, but that he has
failed to act. may overestimate the
Importance of the presidential office.

that office ought to manage his own
campaign and. not allow people to do
things for him without his direct and
specific authority.

his supporters to vote as they pleased.
II that contest were purely a question
between Judge Parker and myself as
individuals, his refusal to take part
would not be material, although he
never sent out piece of literature or
mad a speech made in his behalf that
did not represent him as my special
champion for sixteen years. II he dis.
tributed any literature in which he
associated his name with Judge Par
ker's ] shall be glad to withdraw this
statement upon inspection of the
literature.
But the contest between Judge
Parker and myself was not a personal
contest and everybody but Mr.. Clark
knew this. 1t was between progressive
democracy on the one side and reac-
tionaries on the other, and contend
in such contest it was Mr.. Clark's
duty to take one side or the other If
there was any difference in the two
kinds of democracy. If he insists that
there is no difference he has no right
to complain of criticism at the hands
OF those who believe that there is a
vital difference"

WILSON THE NOMINEE.

The long struggle at Baltimore has
at last come to an end and Goyerno,
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey has
been selected as the standard bearer
Tor the hosts of democracy.
He is a good, clean man, safe and
sane, progressive in every sense OF
the word, and would render his conn.
try valuable service as the chief ex.
ecutive of the nation.
1t matters not now who was our in.
dividual choice, or what we think of
the methods used in bringing about
his nomination--we are all democrats
The man and the platform make COM
mon ground upon which we can all
stand, and it is our plain duty to get
together.
Let all differences be forgotten, let
all rancour give place to peace and
harmony. Shoulder to shoulder let us
follow the flag of our leader, and when
the votes are counted in November
victory will be found to perch upon
the banner of the indebted and inter.
rified democracy.

Low Wages for RIsklps Life.

In Germany there are so many flying
machines that the men who operate
them have an organization of their
own, called the League of Germany
Aviators. This leageu has enabled the
birdmen to make a concerted demand
for higher pay or higher minimum
wages. Famous flyers, no doubt, get
all that they ask. The sum demanded
is exceedingly modest, all things con.
sidered. 1t is only 300 marks a month,
which means less than SIS.
That is what the German aviators
think the least noted and least popular
men of their craft ought to get for
risking their lives every time they
work. 1t is the limit fixed for taking
long chances with death in the ordi-
nary course of their occupation.
Some of these flying men, it seems,
have been paid as little as $50 marks
a month, or about $37. That is not
much more than dollar day, and
although it is true that several days
may pass when no exhibitions are
given and no use is made of aero
planes, the terrible risk of the work
when it comes makes such pay sad
cheapening of life. 1t also involves
much danger of injuries which are not
fatal but disabling and largely de-
stroy the earning power of the victim.

And if We will not yet for all this harken

And your strength shall be spent in vain
