SHOCKING ETHER WAY YOU TAKE IT.

Those who have estimated Mr..
Bryan to be a rich man will fail to I'M
derstand his announcement at Hender-
sonville. n. c., that he is forced 10
take TO the platform this year in or
DER to keep the wolf out Of the home.
Strange, is it not? One is forced to
ask of Mr.. Bryan. as Of Billy Sunday,
what has he done with all his money?
II has been taken for granted that
the Commoner is a paying business
proposition. Indeed it is hard TO see
Just why that widely circulated news
paper should not return a big net In
come TO its owner and publisher. There
is the big ranch down in Texas. there
is property in Lincoln and elsewhere
Is it possible that Mr.. Bryan is lanc
and newspaper poor?
Mr.. Bryan is one OF the gold mines
of the chautauQua and lyceum he4d.
When he comes to a church orsaui-
cation TO deliver his famous lecture on
the Prince Of Peace" he takes the first
$3.50 and splits the rest. His date is
rarely worla less than $500 to him. H.
works the same plan in lyceum and
lectures. He has always got his. For
years and years he has been unable
TO fill all the demands for datings. And
he Is known among chautauqua and
lyceum managers as the shrewdest
hand at bargain in all the business.
And here in his later years We are
told that MIR. Bryan is SO hard Up that
he must descend from his high estate
as premier Of the cabinet Of the pres
dent of the United States to hustle
hurriedly from one plank platform to
another picking up fees lest the wolf
enter the Bryan house to tear and
rend.
There was time when Mr.. Bryan
could live delightfully."- on the salary of
cabinet officer. Little did he dream
when he flung the e.lorescent elo-
uqence Of that crown OF thorns speech
over a historical convention that the
cost of living would SO greatly en-
hance that he couldn't live on $1,000
month. the profits from the Com
moner. and an income from a variety
property sources.
From one end Of the country to the
other this news will come with a great
shock. Mr.. Bryan is either very hard
up or Mr.. Bryans tastes have changed
from that severe democracy of living
TO the pampered tastes and predelic
tons of the aristocracy. Either way il
| Is shocking.

IOWA APPLES.
TBuriington EIawkeye.

The Iowa applemen are to met in
convention on the 18th. A few years
ago, the Iowa apple industry had
reached very low ebb and there
were very few apple men in the state.
After Oregon and Washington and
Idaho began producing fine looking
apples and making a great deal Of fuss
over their fruit. Iowans c"-cke 70 the
fact that they can raise much better
apples than the western apple growers
ever dreamed of. And they began set
ting out new orchards and giving the
old neglected orchards the needed at
tention. and now the apple business Is
looking up again. And the unbiased
apple eater cheerfully admits that an
insignificant little Iowa apple that
would be put in the middle OF the
barrel in other places. has more real
merit, has a more delicate and deli
cious flavor than the very finest Oh
the western fruit. In fact. there is no
other apple in the world that will COM
pare with the best OF the Iowa apples.
In few years, Iowa will be taking a
prominent place in the apple trade. as
she does in everything else that she
undertakes. and her apples will lead
the procession and will bring the very
best prices.

Of 1Ss acres was supposed to have been
