BRYAN Is LAND POOR.
Explains That Fixed Charges Are
Over SO, 500 a Year, Besides Living.

Lincoln, Neb, Cor. Philadelphia
North American: when I announced"
says William J. Bryan, secretary Of
state, in The Commoner, which APP
peared yesterday in its new form,
that l found it necessary to supple
ment my official income and would re-
turn to the lecture platform as the
most natural as we'll as an entirely
legitimate means Of earning what ad-
ditional income / could, the question
was at once asked:
"Why is Mr.. Bryan unable to live
upon a salary of $12, 900 a year,"
1T ought to have occurred to any
one who was tempted to ask the ques-
ton that the question is not whether q
cabinet officer could live on $4,000 a
year if he had nothing to consider ex-
cept the expenses attendant upon liv-
ing in Washington, but whether he
could add the expense Of official life to
his other expenses and meet them oil
out of his salary.
Every man who has reached a posi-
ton where he is likely to be appointed
to a high office has assumed obliga-
lions which cannot be suspended when
he enters office.
my obligations to church, charity,
education and for my insurance cam
not be discontinued. They amount to
more than $6,0UO per year, and these
though the largest, are by no means
all-will absorb more than half Of the
salary l receive.
"A great many public officials, espe-
cially those holding the higher offices,
have incomes aside from their salaries
sufficient to meet the outside expenses.
1t may be my fault hat l have not,
but it so happens that the largest part
Of my property is not only nonproduc-
tive, but a charge upon my income. In
fact, the income which l receive from
that part which produces is not sufi-
cient to cover taxes, insurance and
care for that part which is nonpro-
ductive.
Il have not complained of the sala-
ries Of cabinet officers; neither would
l advocate an increase, although the
position of secretary of state carries
with it more entertainment than any
other position in the cabinet because
of it's relation to the outside world, ami
my acceptance Of hospitality through
out the country and throughout the
world has increased the amount of en-
tertaining expected of me-"

o r OF F~LoRENCE"

The first lottery. in the modern
meaning of the word, was the 'iotto"
Of Florence, which held it's first draw
ing on this date, Aug. 10, 1880. The
first lottery. in France was established
about nine years later, and received
the name of blanque from the white
tickets which indicated the blanks.
Francis I. gave royal assent to the
scheme, but collected a tax from it.
The first lottery mentioned in English
history was held in 1869, and the
drawings took place at the western
door Of st. Paul's cathedral. In Ger
many the first money lottery was held
at Nuremberg in 1890. Lotteries were
held in America from earliest times,
and the first Virginia settlers were
supported from the profits of an Eng
lish lottery. In 1899 an assemblage of
ministers in Boston denounced the lot
terry as "a cheat" and the promoters of
such schemes as "~pillagers of the peo-
ple". Generally, however, lotteries were
popular, and in 1875 the American con-
gress established a national lottery.
Lotteries were abolished in England in
1925 and in France ten years later;
but in the United States the notorious
Louisiana lottery continued operations
until twenty years ago.

eLAcKsNAKE EARNS liberty.
And the Freedom of the Hencoop by
SAVING Woman From Rather.

s'S ShhS SIIS~SF Ny
Saving Woman From Rather.
New York Sun: Swartswood, N. J.
John Blacgford was about to kill a
b~lacksnake here today to stop it's theft
Of eggs when the thief earned it's lib
erty by saving the life Of his mother.
The young mar had found the nest
Of a hen that had taken to laying it's
eggs in a grove some distance away
from the house. He also discovered
that the blacksnake had been devour-
ing the eggs as fast as the hen laid
them. He determined to ambush the
snake and kill it.
He and his mother watched the hen
today and when the egg was deposited
in the nest they crept closer to watch
for the thief. In a few minutes the
b~lacksnake appeared, s~tealthily creep
ing through the underbrush. Mrs.
Blackford was so fascinated at the
sight of the b~lacksnake that she did
not hear a soft whirring sound close
by her as she stepped back to give
John plenty of room in which to dis
patch the reptile.
Evidently the whirring sound did
not escape the blacksnake. Suddenly
it stopped and it's whole body seemed
to stiffen. More quickly than the eye
Of Mrs. Blackford could follow it dart
ed toward her, but a little to the side.
AS she screamed and jumped back her
son leaped to the rescue, but he stop
ped, too, for he saw what human be-
ings rarely see, a b~lacksnake fighting
a rattler. ,,s.-.
The two stood aside and watched
the conflict which was uneven from
the start. The long slim blacksnake
was too quick for the more sluggish
and heavier poisonous one. With its
first leap it had clamped it's fangless
jaws back of the poisonous head Of the
rattler and wound it's body tight
aroun the others. In a few seconds
the life had been squeezed out Of the
rattleSnake.
THAT snake can have all the eggs
on this farm for all O. me- remarked
young Blackford when it was over,
"and what's more, I'll never kill an
other blacksnake as long as l live"
That's just the way I feel" said
Mrs. Blackford.

MAYBE COOK REALLY DID.
German Geosrapher Concludes That
He May Have Discovered Pole.

He May Have Discovered Pole.
Tacoma News: DR.. Frederick A.
Cooks claim to the discovery of the
north pole is still of sufficient import
ance to enlist the consideration of
scientific men in Germany. One of
these is Prof. Otto Baschin, custodian
of the geographic institute of the Ber-
lin university, who, in an article
headed Is Cook a SWindler? considers
the Peary-Cook controversy at con-
siderable length and concludes that
the evidence for Cooks truthfulness is
very strong.
The question of observations based
upon the suns altitude as a method Of
determining whether one has reached
the pole is sumnartly dismissed by
Professor Baschin as quite unreliable,
The unsufIiciency Of such observations,
he says, was set forth soon after tla
Peary-CoOk dispute arose by DR., A.
Wedemeyer of the German imperial
marine department., an experienced as
tronomer II navigator, who declared
that the explorers diaries, so far as
observations Of the suns altitude were
concerned. could have no ~probative,
value. Other authorities have since
confirmed this declaration, saws Pro
lessor Baschin, and, this being so. the
question as to who haJ reached the
pole became primarily 7 or credu,tty,

account. naturally came off the better.
Professor Baschin continues:
one mus separate this question
whether Cook reached the pole) from
the second. whether Cook, even il he
cannot prove his presence at the pole,
did not attain far toward the pole and
tread hitherto unknown portions of
that part of the arctic reGiors. These
results OF his expedition are not affect
ed by the strife over the pole. and de-.
serve at least consideration. whereas
they are fully ignored by the Pearv
adherents. Little by little. however,
the number of those who behave that
