The glasses we now know as tum-
blers differ widely from the drinking
vessel to which the name was first APP
piled. These appear to have been Of
metal or wood, and from their peculiar
shape seem to have served as per
petual reminders to pass the bottle.
One authority says they were called
"tumblers' because they could not be
set down except on the side when
empty; and another derives their name
from their original shape, rounded at
the bottom SO that they tumbled over
unless they were carefully set down.

Mr.. Bryan.

There isn't a happier man in
America today than is VIM. j.
Bryan. He has gotten Teddy
Roosevelt backed off the boards.
There never was born a man
who enjoys the lime light as
does the "Boy Orator of the
Platte" Never in his life has he
missed an opportunity to pose.
He first broke into prominence
when he attended the Chicago
Convention as a contesting del
egate from Nebraska. He sue
ceeded in butting in, and having
his delegation seated, and it was
then he made his celebrated
speech, about the cross of gold,
and succeeded in defeating Mis-
SORTS candidate for President,
Hon. Dick Bland.
Ever since he has posed and
posed and has kept himself prom
inent either as a candidate for
President, as a Chautauqua lee
turer, or as a disturber of some
character.
Through his manifold activ-
tiles he has prided himself upon
being the most talked of man in
the country. When things lag
ged, he found a way of breaking
in, and just wouldn't allow him
self overlooked for a week at any
time.
His Commoner kept things
stirred up in the West, and his
lectures kept things stirred up
everywhere else. He CONNER
cialized his Importance and accu-
mulated a large fortune. He
was one Of the few men in
America who made money out of
politics.
Everyone remembers his ac-
tivities at the Baltimore Conven-
ton. He was there as the spec
! ial correspondent of a number of
Republican newspapers, and
, gathered in from his attacks
upon Democrats, at that time
} over $1,000 per day.
, When things looked seemingly
peaceful, and Democrats were
t getting together, he threw in
, bomb shells to put things in ar
uproar. He was there for that
purpose. He pretended to be {
friend of Champ Clark, but HI
ran the dagger of ingratitud,
into his heart, hoping to brinI
, about a dead lock, and secure 70
himself the Democratic nomina
{ ton for President. He wa
never for Wilson, but supporte,
u him only when he found CLAIR
. had a majority of the delegates
! He hoped to bring about a STAN
s pede against Missouri's candi
date in behalf of himself, as h
did at the Chicago convention
but in this he failed.
Wilson placed Bryan in hi
cabinet in order to pacify him
= and to prevent him from attack
ing him openly. He made tn,
mistake of his life when he dit
it, as every well posted Democra
in the country said at the time.
/, Bryan waited for the oppor
. tunity to desert his Chief, whel

greatest amount of harm.
y He has shown himself a traito

endeavoring to build up a per

Roth Ear Away.

 A prominent Kentucky lawyer had been in Jackson during the hearing of a big land case and after the strain of several weeks in the courtroom had de cided to take trip up in the noun tains and enjoy the quieting influences of the hills. He travelled the paths and narrow mountain roads till he found himself, at the end of, several days Journey. about forty or fifty miles from the railroad It was about noon, the lawyer Judged, for his watch had run down and he could not be exact. But in the midst of this deep contempIa- ton the lawyer came upon an old darky sitting upon a bcwlder along side the road. What time have you2' r he asked of the old darky. Well. sula, boss, the old watch says she's about ten minutes to 12,' was the reply. ''Is that si1n time or railroad timer" again questioned the lawyer. "Whut din'r- enee lat make?

Curious Telegraph Lines.

The most original telegraph line in che world once extended from La Rlaz, tfle capitalsef Bolivia, to the neighbor- ing town of Oruro, a distance of about s158 miles. There are no growing trees in this part of the world, and wood of any kind is so rare that the telegraph poles were made of the same material as the natives household furniture dried mud The pillars were built on stone foundations and measured about five feet square at the base, with. a tapertng height of fifteen feet They were placed about 36o feet apart An other curious telegraph line was con strncfed in Uganda by a British en- g1neer, who transported growing trees to the roadside and used them as poles because he could not find any 'sdead'' wood that would withstand the ravz ages of the white ants In Dutch East India growing trees are also turned to account in this manner, but there d wire is stretched across the road between the trees on either side and the actual telegraph line suspend ed down the center.

CURIOUS COUPLE
TAKING LONG
JAUN1
Man and Wife on Walking Trip
of a5,617 Miles Around
the World.

HILLsBORO, Mich, July 27-l
Having covered 1927 miles OF a
walking trip of S5.617 miles around
the world, Mr.. and Mrs. J. f. Bel
land, of Washington, D. G., stopped
in the city one night, sleeping in
bed for the first time in two years,
so they said. The next morning as
they were about to resume their eX-
tended hike they attracted much at
tention.
Mr.. Belland is making the trip on
a wager of 100000 with Washing
ton business men, he says, and Mrs.
Belland is accompanying him. Ihey
have a little light wagon, in which
they carry their belongings, and MIS-
Belland sometimes rides. A little dog
also rides much of, the way. This Is
their fourth dog since they started,
the first three having died. being
unable to stand the hardships of the
trip.
The cart is covered with all kinds
of cards and signatures of people in
different towns. The Bellands stop
ped at a hotel here, saying that they
could not find a dry spot, after the
rain, in which to locate.
Conditions of the Wager.
Mr.. Belland must walk the entire
! SIS, 900 miles continuously to win MS
wager He must visit the caplta1 Oh
every county, every state and every
! island There are sixty-nfne coun-
tries, forty-eight states and nineteen
| islands. They left Washington, cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and Thir-
teenth street, May Is, 1913. with 13
cents. Apparently they do not bear
the II 81 hoodoo. They expect to re-
| turn on January IS, 1920. AT the
present time they are fifty-one miles
ahead of their schedule. ..
BY the terms of the agreement
they may not beg. borrow, steal
work, pose, solicit. sell nor lecture
! for money. The only way they can
get money is for people to help them
Voluntarily. and every one who helps
must register in g book stating the
amount. This applies even to
small piece of harness for the horse.
At the present time there are 1900
signatures in the book.
Have Record for Travels.
In order to prove that they have
visited the different places, they get
the postmark of the Offices on piece
/ of ribbon. They secured the Hills

OF white silk ribbon covered with
IL. 229 postmarks. These represent
the postoffices visited in the forty
one states and Canada and Mexico.
FAILING to get the posAofice stamp,
they get the signature of the chief OF
police. fire department and perhaps
