How Apes and Monkeys Differ.

What are the differences between
apes, baboons and monkeys?
Apes are such as are destitute OF
tails; baboons have muscular bodies
elongated muzzles, and their tails are
usually short; monkeys are those whose
tails are In general long. some OF
them, the sapagos, having prehensile
tails, which can at pleasure be. twisted
around any object, and thereby, In
many instances, answer the purpose OF
an additional hand.-"Reason Why"

WHY those headaches Z


Why should you not read more than a
few minutes without discomfort
Why should your eyes give you trouble
Because it is proof of severe eye strain.
The only right way to relieve that strain
is to remove the cause. Many people have
been relieved of persistent headaches by
having their eyes correctly examined and
fitted with suitable glasses.
An examination of your eyes by our Re-
gistered Optometrist, Mr.. II. Prest, will
tell whether strain is the probable cause of

At the time when Bryan was privately
receiving these large donations from the
money kings, he was publicly denouncing
them, just as he is dong now.
Right then, he was loudly deploring "the
influence of the money bags"
Right then, he was virtuously and noisily
declaring that he had "insisted that the
Democratic party should not receive contribu-
tons from the trusts"
Yet from the Mining trust of Colorado
alone, this virtuous candidate received,
secretly and gladly, the sum of $51 900.
National banks as well as Mining corpora
tions were liberal contributors to the secret
Bryan fund although his platform emphati-
cally denounced national banks.
In 1904, Mr.. Bryan sulked in his tent,
pitched in the Yellowstone Park, until his
brother-in-law, Tom Allen, had gone to

IN 1896, the Progressives were known as
The Peoples Party. They had drawn
recruits from both the old parties.
Shrewd politicians realized that unless we
were headed off and side tracked, we would
cut the ground from under the two Wall
street parties, would bridge the chasm caused
by the Civil War, would restore to the Gov
ernment the sovereign function of creating
all the money, and would place the burden of
taxation upon property, instead Of upon pow
erty
Mr.. William J. Bryan, posing as an advo-
cate Of Populist principles, was sent to Con-
gress by Populist district
In Congress he made one speech for tariff
reform, and leaped into fame. BY sl1ilfull
trading, he had secured place on the Ways
and Means Committee.
From this position of power, he might

pies during the two terms he served.
What work did he do, in those four years
of splendid opportunity?
I Nothing-except to slip through some pri-
waite pension bills which could not run the
gauntlet of departmental investigation.
In 1895, he went home, declaring his pur-
pose to lead the Peoples Party.
TO prevent this, the older Democratic
leaders who disliked Richard P. Bland,
tempted Bryan with the prospect of Presi-
dental nomination-the same Bryan who in
1892 had voted for Gen. James B. Weaver.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-07-04

Although an instructed Bland delegate in
the Chicago convention of 1896, Bryan made
a speech which was meant to capture the
nomination for himself
This was the speech whose most thrilling
passage was quotation which Bryan palmed
off on the country as an original creation of
his own.
I refer to the crown of thorns and cross of
gold.
Having succeeded in snatching the nominal
ton for himself, Bryan then played for the
Populist nomination, promising the second
place on the fusion ticket to a Populist.
Again, his schemes worked successfully.
Immediately after the Populists had
walked into the trap, Bryan closed it on
them, by accepting has half of the ticket, and
rejecting the other half.
In the campaign of 1895, he was financed
as follows:
Marcus DAILY and associates put up
the sum $3.50 900
W. A. Clark, personally $4,000

The bitterness and mendacity with which
Bryan has assailed our Southern leaders,
Underwood and Clark are without parallel in
recent politics.
He has lied about them both, with shame
less continuity and creativeness.
In the case of Clark, Bryan infamy is this:
He was sent to Baltimore to support Clark,
and he used the opportunity to stab him. !,

THE Republican convention was opened by

His invocation for harmonious delibera-

:. The Democratic convention followed suit,
and invited Roman priest to pray for har-

to open Democratic convention?
