Hes Still Runnina.

A gentleman in a Manchester restau-
rant the other day thought he would
have joke with the waiter and asked
him if he had ever seen a sausage roll.
"Say," said the waiter, II have not
only seen a sausage roll, but have
seen a biscuit box, table spoon, a
chimney sweep, chain link, q nose
gay, a camera slide, garden fence, a
sword fish, a wall flower" But when
he got to fire escape" the gentleman
thought it was high time for him to
escape too. e&
AS he went the waiter went with
him. saying, "A trap turn, cake walk,
a mountain climb, sky lark. a honey

But. by this time the gentleman joker
was half way down the street in q

Cost of Floral Decorations.

Millions of dollars are spent on floral
decora tons in America every year. 1t
is said that the amount spent for deco
rative purposes each year is sufficient
to build three battleships and place
them in commission. 1t is considered
nothing unusual for 81 600 to be charg-
ed by florists for decorating q banquet
hall. while as much as $4,000 has been
paid for home decorations. The deco.
rator has to 80 through hard and long

It is contended that the Bermuda
islands are merely the remnant of m
island. very much larger than the pres.
ent entire group, which has sunk into
the ocean. The original island. 1t is
asserted, had an area Of 800 or 400
square miles, whereas the Bermudas
Of today are only about twenty square
miles In area. Within comparatively
recent period, according to verrill. the
Bermudas have subsidized at least 80 or
100 feet. Their base is the summit of

Orioin Of the "Three RS"

The famous toast to ''the three Rs
reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic"-was
made by Sir William Curtis, lord may
or of London, in the year 1895 and for
many years one of the wardens of the
tower. What made it more ludicrous
was that he proposed 1t at dinner
given by the London board of educa-
ton. It was received with great ap-
plause and drunk amid much merrt-
ment. At the time it was recognized
as a Jest, but was afterward taken up
in earnest by the mayors detractors,
who have handed his name down to
posterity as a laundering ignoramus.
A writer has now come to his defense
and says that when he was a boy an
aged member of the board Of education
assured him that Sir William knew
better and that he really used his IA.
NOUS ALTERATION as jest. To many
people, however, the story will always
sound better when it Is based upon the
belief that Sir William was really Sc

MR.. BRYAN ON HIMSELF

Mr.. Bryan does not deserve chow
ever pleasant the compliment may
be- the credit he is receiving for what
was done at Baltimore. His part was
really a modest one; he simply turn
ed the faucet and allowed a great
moral force to flow in upon the con-
vention. He did not create the force,
but he knew where the faucet was,
and estimated more accurately than
some others did the height of the
standpipe from which the force came.
If he had had the foresight to hang
over the platform the motto, "Remem-
Der the folks at home" illumined by
electricity, he need not have spoken
at all. He could, by turning on the
light, have made really half the dele
gates hide under the chairs. The fear
of the people is the beginning of wis
dom, if one may be permitted to par
aphrase a proverb, and no convention
ever better illustrated this truth

o the Editor Ocaal Banner:

To the Editor Ocaal Banner
So long as you and Tom Watson
compare W. J. Bryan to Judas, have
no protest to make, as the acts of
treachery are too nearly parallel; but
when you compare Bryan to Brutus
l cannot refrain from entering a Wig
orOus protesty-you do the memory
of Brutus a great injustice Brutus
was actuated by no selfish motive: he
did not seek Caesars office; he was
persuaded that it was for the good
of his country; he did not love Gaze
sar less, but Rome more, and was pro-
claimed by the dearest friend of Gaze
sar to be the noblest Roman of them
all, and l trust you will make ample
apology for comparing him to a TWEEN

Tampa claims that it is making no
Macedonian cry for help. That her
local preachers, editors and teachers
are as capable of coping with Tam
pas wickedness as Jacksonville is to
cope with hers. 1t is not asking for
reformation by Dixie, either through
the efforts of its editor in person or
by proxy. 1t resents being referred
to as the modern Sodom and Gomor-
rah by the Dixie publication, while
the race track odor is still attaching
to the garments of Jacksonville.

Mr.. cHE.!EY'S DENIAL.

The Orlando Reporter-Star says
that one of its reporters called on
Hon. ]. NJ. Cheney Monday morning
and asked him if he wished to make
any statement in regard to the charge
made by Herbert L. Anderson in his
Ocala speech before the Bull Moose
convention, that there was trade be-
tween himself and Henry S. Chubb to
the effect that if Mr.. Cheney should
be appointed judge, Mr.. Chubb would
be appointed as clerk of the United
States court.
Mr. Cheney, in reply, authorized the
reporter to publish the following
signed statement:
There is no truth in the charge
made by Mr.. Anderson that trade
exists between Henry S. Chubb and
myself whereby l have agreed to ap-
point Mr.. Chubb clerk of the United
States court in the event of any APP
pointment as judge. No such agree
ment exists or has existed. The
charge is utterly false.
81 have made no trade or agreement
of any kind whatever, and l state pos
itively that if my appointment is con-
firmed by the senate l take the office
without a promise to any person be-
yond the implied promise to give my
best judgment to every judicial act.
Manifestly the appointment of clerk
is as high a judicial act as could
come before a court If that question
ever comes before me, shall be free
to act as my judgment and conscience
distates.
Il unreservedly assert that the
charge made by Mr.. Anderson is false
utterly false.

James Graham Phelps Stokes, the
socialist, is nobody's fool He is a
candidate for mayor of Stamford,
Conn, and the suggestion was made
that he would be consistent if he
sold his possessions and divided the
proceeds among the poor. This he
refused to do, giving as a reason that
it would not lessen poverty. Mr..
Stokes was right. His fortune, if dis
tributed, would soon pass out of the
hands of many into the possession of

tion with which to reproach the sovorn-
ment and carry on its jingo agitation. In

something to lay hold OF for offensive
purposes and the recent Pan-G ernan
congress made the most OF what oppor-

The address Of its president the MainZ
advocate, Herr Glass, may be taken as
summarizing the criticism and griey-
ances Of the party, which in reality has
more lung power than influence. The
failure OF the government TO bring In a
measure of conflscation against the re-

concession TO the Jesuits IN Bavaria; the
want OF energy displayed by the gov

actlonarios claims against the English
treasury, und tho incapacity Of German
diplomacy Gencrally-these we're the
main matters OF complaint.
II is interesting TO note, the admission
