lgnatlon as head Of the department of
State which has charge of all foreign
relations, will find that in matters pol
ltoal he is still force and that his fol-
lowing among the Democrats of this
country exceeds that of Wilson's.
Bryan. like Roosevelt has mind of
MS own, does his own thinking and is
leader rather than a follower. He ia
in the public eye today as never before
and is undoubtedly the biggest man in
the Democratic party. While Bryan
may be justly charged with being vsgs
rlous, his whole public life has been
marked with honesty and devotion to
the principles he advocates and the
mistakes, it any, he has made have
been OF the head aud not of the
heart.
There is no gainssying the fact that
Bryan is bigger man than any mem
Der of the Wilson Cabinet and that
his resignation means disinteRrstion
of the party of which he has been the
head and shoulders since his memora-
able speech at Chicago which gave
him the nomination for President. A
man whose long public career, like
that of Bryan's is free from the tsint
OF dishonesty, though he may have
made mistakes, Is not easily eliminated
by political party whose whole life
has been characterized by blunders
and whose legislative record in 1893
was described by President Cleveland
as standing for "psrty perfldy and
party dishonor."
The forced retirement of Bryan from
the Wilson Cabinet means the retire
ment OF the President from public life
at the end of his present term.-Pen-

FOREST FIRES ARE PREytN1ABlE

Fifty Per Cent of Great Annual Loss of Life
and Property is Due to AyoidabIe Causes
Washington, July 9th: With the
opening Of the season of fire danger on
most of the national forests, the forests
service is sending broadcast a warning
that more than half of the forest fires
in the United States are due to care
lessness or other preventable causes
starting from campers, railroad loco
motives, brush burning, inoendiaries
and sawmills
This statement is based on an an
alysis of statistics compiled from the
forest fire records Of the last season,
when more than 1000 fires we're report
ed on national forests alone and ap-
proximately 10000 on STATE and private
holdings in the eighteen states which
received federal cooperation in fire
protection under the Weeks law, name
ly, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New York

Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, South Dakota Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions of dol
lars worth Of timber and other prop.
erty every year, and in some years
cause considerable loss of life. 1t has
been estimated from the best inform
alton obtainable that forest fires last
year burned over an area of approxi-
mately 100000 acres with total lose
of at least $9,OOO,O0G.

with which the democrats will seize
upon this circumstance as proof of the

told, although the war has jumped the

ANOTHER BOND PAID

The city of Hot Springs has just
made another move toward lower taxes
by the purchase of s1lOO. worth of its
outstanding four per cent bonds for a
cash price of 100000. This purchase
was made just before the first day of

$4,000 upon the face value of the
bonds the city also saved 500 90 of in

he met man who said: 81 thought

man was gone. All ct once
when he was looking down in the
water he saw hand come up out Of

is not my axe" And a hand came up
and he heard voice and it said: "Is

"No, it is not my axe?" And the
hand came up again and the voice
said: "Is this your axe?" And he
said, Eyes" And the voice said: "You

told him. And he went home and got
his axe and throwed it in the water.
And he made an awful fuss. He met a
man and the man asked: "What is
the matter with you ?" And he said
that he lost his axe in the river"

Rambled forth one sunny day her
BIDDY to behold.
And kneeling down she quickly poked
a SMALL and tangled head
Underneath the CORNER of tumble
down old shed.
Then Mrs. Biddy bridled and stood
upon her LEGS;
Dear me-" quoth Ruby smilingly,
"she wants to SHOW her eggs"
So Ruby ventured nearer; then plead
ingly she SAID:
MRS. Hen please let me SEE your
pretty nest and bed"
But Mrs. Biddy quickly gave wrath
full CLUCK instead,
And pecked her little visitor upon her
tangled HEAD.
Then Mistress Ruby backed away with
quite HASTY air,
Dear me-" quoth Ruby ruefully, she
tried to COMB my hair"
