rather have passed the parting of the

dose of the same medicine he has
sooner or later administered to every
man with whom he has had close rela-
tons.
Metcalfe was Bryan's editor for .
number of years and stood closer to
Mr.. Bryan than did any other man.
Metcalfe put Bryan hrst In everything
and above everybody else. When he
had offers OF more important positions
with a larger salary he refused them to
remain with Bryan. For Bryan's sake
Metcalfe made many political enemies
in Nebraska and elsewhere. Bryan was
his ideal. At all times Metcalfe sank
his own interests for the benefit OF Mr..
Bryan.
But Just as there came a time in the
dealings OF Mr.. Bryan with Senator
Hitchcock. Mayor Dahlman, Thomas
Fortune Ryan. Champ Clark and others
when these men were thought to be OF
no further service to him and were
dismissed with a wave Of the hand. 90

dsmisses him with q nod.
Metcalfe was made Governor of the
Canal Zone. The appointment met with
such favor In Nebraska that some
people say Bryan got furiously Jealous.
While Metcalfe was on the Isthmus II
Is said that Mr.. Bryan consigned many
OF his reports and letters to the waste
basket without even reading them.
When Metcalfe got into hot water with
other officials he could not look to Mr..
Bryan for aid and assistance. In fact
Bryan turned him down" completely.
Then Metcalfes office was abolished
altogether and the former Governor was
compelled to seek other fields Of activ-
ity. He went back to Nebraska and
filed his name as a candidate for Gov
ernor. Immediately c. w. Bryan, w. j.
Bryan's brother. called attention to the
alleged fact that none but standpat
Democrats had signed the Metcalfe
petition and that the names of no pro-
gressive Democrats appeared on the
paper. In that and other ways c. w.
Bryan Is opposing Metcalfe's candidacy,
and w. j. Bryan has not turned over his
hand to restrain his brother or to as
slst Metcalfe. He has deserted the man
who stood by him through thick and
| thin for more than fifteen years.
But that causes no surprise in Me-
braska. The wonder out there is that
Bryan did not throw Metcalfe over long
before this time. Mr.. Bryan's reputa-
ton for gratitude is not very high with
those who know him.

KING HUMBERT WAS ADMIRER
Duchess Bolognlnl.Lltta's Death calls
to Mind Her Most Roman
tic Career.

Rome.-The death Of Duchesse Eu-
genia Bolognini-Litta in her villa ut
Lambro, revived the memory Of her
most romantic career. She was an
extraordinary beauty and had many
admirers, her last and one real love
being King Humbert.
Although the late king had some
what rowing affections he remained
faithful to her for many years. and
until his death went to her for ad-
vice and companionship. These she
gave him freely. thereby arousing the
jealousy and pride OF Queen Mar
gherita.
So strained we're the relations at
one time that the then Princess Mar
gherita insisted that her father-in-law.
King Victor Emmanuel II. Danish her
rival from court She obtained her
wish
However, as she grew older, she for
gave and even brought herself to
admire the fidelity OF this woman. who
never looked even on her own hus-
band after knowing Humbert. In Rome
the duchess lived separated from her
husband, and received Humbert every
evening at q certain hour.
Duke Litta did not take kindly to
this passion OF his wife for his SOW
ereign. and. after demonstrating with
her and even separating from her, he
decided upon heroic measures. He
threatened that II she did not break
with King Humbert he would resign
from the army and make a scandal.
This did not move her, and he did
what he had threatened.

old gray walls and stand out clearly

Spanish city a great crowd Of people

has assembled. Now and then ear
splitting yells rend the air. At dis
lance one might suppose that the FIJI
ipinos were holding a mass meeting
and yelling for independence, but on
coming closer one hears a clarion
voice ring out above all the others,
"Out on first" The Manila high

Cebu. Whats the scorer ! inquired
excitedly. A Filipino. who wears .

being home In the dear old United
States.
There are few cities which portray
ancient, medieval and modern life and
customs SO clearly as Manila. In the
suburbs one sees the shacks and huts
Of the common people. The frame
work Of the humble abodes is made Of
bamboo poles and the roof and walls
are simply mats Of nipa palm leaves.
AS the floor IL several feet from the
ground the huts have the appearance
of being on stills. Such have been the
homes of the Filipinos since prehis-
toric times.
The walled city is the old Spanish
Manila. Here one sees the solid, aus
tere architecture Of the middle ages.
and the more ornate styles Of the re-
naissance. The pulleys Of drawbridges
are stiIl in the walls over the city
gates.
Between the walled city and the
outer suburbs lies the modern city Of
Manila. This part contains the main
business streets and the residential
section. In this part Of the city one
sees a strange mingling Of all that is
ugly and beautiful In modern architec-
ture. The paved streets. the car lines.
the telephone and electric light wires,
and especially the Pasig river with its
tramc. all bind the three parts Of the
city together into an economic whole
