although it has been rumored and re-

of the political leaders it crystalized
an issue.
Mr.. Bryan told his audience that.

he had nothing to ask, but spoke
from gratitude rather than in ex-

"You will, therefore" he added, not

When we remember the anathemas
with which we have denounced the
Republicans for seven months delay"
he said, referring to the treaty, "what
will be our answer to Europe now if
we delay for another IA months while
we consult the American people?"

Mr.. Bryan said he was in perfect ac-

Profitable Companionship.

Among the most curious and inter
esting of natural phenomena are those
pertaining to the mutual relationships
of common organisms. Two plants,
two animals. or a plant and an ami
NAL, may live together for their mu-
tual benefit. Very often one of the
partners gets food for the combination
while the other receives protection
This is the arrangement that subsists
between tropical plants and certain
species of ants which live and feed
in their hollow stems, and in return
drive away ether insects that would
do damage.
