William Jennings Bryan has squarely
for his country. He a telegram to the president
in which he asked to be given opportunity to
where he could do the good, but preferably
private the ranks for active and dangerous service
But before enlistment legislation can be had Mr..
Bryan asked that he be assigned to work in the Red
Cross service where he assist in relief and
in Y NJ. c. A. work in the army.
In a subsequent statement he said he would
given his life freely to have found way prevent
the war; but that since the could be avoided
he would just freely give his life insure
the righteous American cause.
BY this course, Mr.. Bryan raises himself i'm
measurably in the estimation of the American people
and restores his status of unquestioned patriotism.

The History Of Pearls.

''Thc modern recognition Of pearls,
dates back to about 800 i. c., but they
We're known to yet older peoples, and
especially to those of the East" says
the author of n book published under
the title, "The History Of Pearls"
"rhc Chinese records 90 still far
thcr back, and oyster pearls were re-
ceivcd as tribute In the twenty-third
century II. c. 1t Is probable that they
We're found In the waters Of CeylOn
and India two thousand years ago, and
the Greeks Of course knew the pearl
and recognized its value. But It was
not until the Roman empire was be-
ginning to rise that the knowledge of
the value of the pearl became general.
1t seems that In early times Britain
played it's part In the production of
these gems, and Tacitus refers to Brit
ish pearls, but calls them dull-col6red
and dirty brown. Origen, on the con-
trary, declared that the pearls that
came from Britain held the second
rank In value. 1t was not, however,
until about the twelfth century that
pearls were used In England, when
they became conspicuous in church Or
namentation."

CELEBRATE THE RUSS REVOLT
Civilians and Soldiers, In Remarkable
Procession, Display Powers Of
Organization.

In the Ncvsky Prospekt the inter-
minable procession was formed in two
columns. marching parallel with each
other and made up of groups of about
u hundred men, women and children,
old and young. walking arm in arm,
according to the account of an eyewit-
ness in Scribner's. The files were of
equal length, and no troops could have
shown better alignment. At the head
Of each group, like a captain leading
his company, walked q leader, who
wore q wide red scarf crOsswise, to
make him more easily distinguishable.
When he lifted bis hand the members
of his group went forward; when he
lowered it they stopped. 1t was en-
actly like the order and discipline of
troops on the march, and trained SOL
diers could not have marched better
indeed, the soldiers did not, for one Of
the strange things about this prOdig-
iOus procession was that in 1t civilians
and soldiers were mingled. After some
groups of workmen came battalions of
troops, then workingmen and women
again. This fusion of soldiers and
civilians made an impression which l
can never forget. And as they marched
they sang revolutionary hymns; as a
matter of course the "Marseiliaise,"
and also other songs which must have
been composed only recently, for the
marchers had not had time to- learn
the words by heart, and some read
them from sheets which they carried
in their hands. The soldiers also
sang, and their thousands of deep
voices made II chorus of marvellous
power and sorority.
None of these songs were fierce or
revengeful. On the contrary, they
were sad, profoundly sad-the accents
of mourning and not of hate.
No police, no marshals were needed
to control this manifestation. Those
who took part In it policed themselves,
and surely never was discipline better
maintained.
AS looked at this spectacle l
thought of all the pessimists, all the
philosophers stepped in gloom, all the
prophets who only predict calamity for
Russia. Why should not n people who
are able to organize and carry out such
n wonderful display be capable of or
ganizing themselves?
Let us, then, give them our conf
dence--and also Il little tine.

PantaIoons Originated In France.

Pantaloons became popular In
France as morning lounge costume in
the reign of Louis XVI and were gen.
orally worn by the democrats at the
beginning of the French revolution.
Kuce breeches as the formal costume
OF men lasted until the beginning of
the nineteenth century. Beau Brum-
nell was the first to popularize trOus-
ers or pantaloons in England and their
general use followed In America.
Brummell wore tight-htting panta-
looms, buttoned at the ankle, and from
these gradually developed the loosen
style.

1900 Camp Meade Men
Sent to Camp Hancock

Camp Meade, Md, Dee. 1i,-With
the thermometer far below the freez-
ing point, the LADS of the National
Army stationed here shivered and
their teeth chartered yesterday as
mighty blasts of wind swept across
the open fields. There was some hesi-
tation on the part of many of the
boys to leave their warm cots when
reveille was sounded in the early
morning hours. At that time the
thermometer registered seven de-
grees above zero. However, after the
lads had jumped around bit and
breakfasted. they went at the train
ing work with a vim. The Pennsylva-
mia boys showed up we'll in the cold,
and some of them soon shed their
outer coats, so strenuously did they
go at their work.
The cold weather has played havoc
with everything at the camp. The
water supply has suffered the great
est, all the pipes being frozen yes
terday. 1t was even difficult matter
to get water for the horses.
From now on the Red Cross will
have the biggest job of ALL that of
distributing presents, The presents
are beginning to come in already.
Orders have just been received
that will send 1900 men from the
camp here to Camp Hancock, at Au-
gusta. At least 1900 of these will be
Pennsylvanians.. The fact that they
will move before Christmas is not
liked by many, but they are inclined
to believe the move an indication
of early service in France. Most of
the men who are to leave are fami-
liar with motor truck driving or con-
struction.
The selection of men for the Of
ficers training camp which opens
here January 5, is well under way
and there is quite a bit of anxiety
among the Pennsylvania men par
ticularly, to know whether or not
their names are on the lists of for
tunate ones. The time limit for the
selected men to make application TO
attend this camp has passed and the
company and regimental command
ers are now selecting the men.
General Nicholson, in a few days
will announce the officers who will
compose the special board TO review
the names of those suggested for ap
pointment to the camp.
