PERT PARAGRAPHS.

Life would be sweeter if neighbors could understand that what is convenient for them isn't necessarily so for us. You are apt to be an evil genius if you can smile sweetly and look pleasant when somebody Is getting the inside track of you. It is easy to take a crack at your neighbor's intellect when it Isn't working round In your neigliborhood. Z - A wise son is V Jenced by his father's mrch talking. Some people can't make fools of themselves because nature got the start of them. It depends upon your pocketbook whether being in love with a rich girl 13 hard work or not. No one can say that we have departed from the simple faith of our fathers who will watch us eating canned goods. . There- njay not be much romance about a Chinaman's head, although thereby hangs a tail. The Avenger. Most awful the threat that is held la reserve By the little and much abused lad. When he"s getting a drubbing he doesn't deserve. Does he say he'll report to his dad? No; here for his father he has little use; A sterner avenger's in view. He cries when at last his tormentor's jarred loose, 'Til tell ray big brother on you!" Perhaps he Is trespassing on the preserves Of some bigger boy down the street. Who, hands him an uppercut and a few curves Before he ran beat a retreat. Does he cry in his wrath, "The police I'll apprise. And Justice shall give you your due?" No; this lsithe threat he emits as he flies: "I'll tell my big brother on you!" Most terrible agent of ruin and woe. Likewise a hard hitter for fair, The awful big brother who lives but to throw Oppressors and such In the air. The confidence, too, that the youngsters repose In him is akin to sublime: No matter how husky, the little one knows He'll bring the tormentor to time. Oh, wouldn't It be for the grownups a snap If they had protection like that, A lustx defender of right who would scrap And topple their foes to the mat? Who never woUld falter to enter a fray And hand the oppressor a few; If when he was worsted a fellow could eay, "I'll tell 3iy big brother on your Two Curious Tale. Ia 1S75 a miserly old lady was found did In a fence corner a few miles south of Blaise, France. When found she was lying flat on her back, with one arm around her head grasping a sunbonnet. Since that time not a spear of grass has grown on the spot where her body lay. The outlines of the form, limbs, etc., are as plain as though they had been made by a person lying down in snow or in plastic clay. Just back of the great British museum, London, there Is a little plot of ground known the world over as "the field of the forty footsteps." The old legend concerning the place is to the effect that two brothers, in the time of the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion, took different sides and that they engaged in a deadly . duel on this little plot of ground. They stood off twenty steps from a certain line and at thword met at that line and killed each other with knives. The forty impressions made by their feet .while advancing were ever afterward bare of grass and were still pointed out 125 years ago ct the time when the lo was.cov:i-?. by a large stone buildiu. "'CMLJRCH AND CLERGY. A congregation in New York city proposes to erect a combined churcli and apartment bouse, the latter to be ten stories tall. The temperance committee of the Southern. Methodist Episcopal conference reported in favor of a rule which would prohibit the . use of tobacco by j-oung pastors. Rev. John T. Creagh, professor of canon law at the Washington university, has leen appointed by the pope to the commission which is codifying the canon law of the Roman Catholic church. Rev. Charles Seadding of Lagrange, 111., recently elected bishop of Oregon, is a Canadian. For a time he was assistant to Rev. Dr. Iiainsford, in New York. He is an interesting lecturer, a lover of outdoor sports and is the author of several widely circulated books. In old Trinity church, New York, Bishop Greer advanced six deacons to the Episcopal priesthood, among them being Rufus W. Frost, for many years manager of the Broadway Central hotel. So Jar as is known there is no other hotel keeper-clergyman in the United States. Serious damage to the magnificent central portal of Cologne cathedral is feared. Several large pieces of carved stone have fallen and numerous other portions show signs of loosening. The cathedral, begun in 1243, was not completed until 1SSO. It is generally regarded as the finest piece of Gothic architecture in the world. LABOR AND PROGRESS. rUsing the eight page paper a the ttnit of calculation, it is said that the best presses today turn out, folded, counted and delivered In bundles of fifty, 800 papers a minute. In 1S00, it is said. 100,000 bales of cotton, would have lasted, the Lancashire mills, England, for a year. Now the same amount only feeds their spindles for a day and a quarter. Wire fencing is now- made in continuous roiis instead of in sections, as heretofore. Galvanized wires at the Intersections, fed automatically from veels, are welded bj x.eans of sniaii transformers.

INSURGENTS MID THE GUARDS CLASH

Fighting Is Taking PIdce at Divers Points and Many Plots Now On. POLICE IN A CONSPIRACY REPORT HAS IT THAT PRESIDENT PALMA AND VICE PRESIDENT CAPOTE ARE ENGAGED IN OPEN QUARREL. Publishers' PressJ Havana, Aj.;. -1 rumor is busy with suggestions of a conspiracy among the police, and an open quarrel between President Palma and Vice President Mendez Capote. At the palace silence is maintained. In certain quarters Capote Is suspected of bargaining with the insurgents. In the event of the fall of Palma, however, there is little likelihood that the insurgents would make Capote president. They certainly would not without at least the formality of an election. In the reported quarrel at the palace, bitter words are said to have passed culminating in Palma denouncing Capote as a traitor. The vice president is said to have replied that Palma was a president without power. A fight took place at Calabazar, Havana province, between 50 "insurgents and 15 rural guards, with the result that the latter retreated with one man wounded. An engagement between insurgents and government troops is reported to have occurred near Artamlsa, province of Pinar Del Rio, near the Havana border. The result is not known. Several 'exchanges of shots have been reported at various places westward of Guanajay, near the Havana border, in Pinar Del Rio. As the place is poorly protected, reinforcements of 50 rural guards have been sent there. A portion of Pino Guerra's force is stationed at Puerto Cortez on the south coast, near San Juan de Martinez, which the government contemplates making a central point for sending men and supplies by water to Pinar Del Rio, should communication by rail be interrupted. A trainload of; troops from Havana arrived safely atithe city cf Pinar Del Rio. They wereiSred upon near Taco, and encountered scattered shots elsewhere, but the soldiers were unharmed. Governor Sobrado, of the province of Pinar Del Rio, who had just returned here from the United States, went to the provincial capital on the troop train. Previous to his departure the governor said he believed that he could enter into negotiations with the insurgents and settle matters within a week. His statement was received with incedul'ty.

A vegetarian sitting next to a stranger in a restaurant before long took occasion to advertise his creed by telling him that all meat was injurious and that the human diet should be strictly vegetarian. "But," replied the stranger, "I sel dom eat meat." ' "You just ordered eggs," said the vegetarian. "An egg is practically meat, because it eventually becomes a bird." "The kind of eggs I eat never be come birds," answered the stranger quietly. "Good heavens!" cried the vegetari an. "What kind of eggs do you eat?' "Principally boiled eggs," said the stranger.

BRYAN'S PROGRAM IS MAPPED OUT

Will Do Considerable Speech Making in East and Leave for West Monday. SPEAKS TO NEBRASKANS TELLS THAT IF HE STAYS IN LINCOLN AFTER 1909 IT WILL NOT BE OF HIS CVVN ACCORD. IPublishers' Press! New York, X. Y.August SO. A confertp.-e at Mr. Nixon's house resulted in the adoption of a definite program for Mr. Bryan during his stay in the esst. He will go to New Haven Friday and will have a reception at noon on the college green. On the following day he will be in Bridgeport as the guest of Senator Archibald McXeal. On Saturday afternoon he will speak in Newark and in Jersey City, attending a dinner given him by New York newspapermen in the evening. He will leave New York for the west Sunday night or Monday. Mr. Bryan early in the day made a short address to the Nebraska delegation. He concluded by saying: "I am going home now, and I am going to do all I can to help you Democrats." "And we'll keep you there until March 4, 1909, and then we'll take you to Washington," broke in Mayor J. C. Dahlman of Omaha. "I shall be glad if you let me stay there until that date," resumed Mr. Bryan, "and I may stay there afterward, though not of my own accord," he added, smiling. Afterwards, a reporter asked what he meant when he spoke about staying in Nebraska after March, 1909, though not of his own accord "That simply means," said Mr. Bryan, "that I have not yet made up my mind whether I am to be a candidate for the presidency. I have nothing really to say now for the newspapers about that." "How about Russia and the douma?" Mr. Bryan was asked. "No one "can speak with any degree of certainty," he replied, "as to what the Immediate 'futureof Russia 'will be, but we can speak with cartainty of the ultimate result. I might illustrate in this way: If you ask me in February what sort of weather we will have, I cannct " say whether it will be snow or storm or sunshine, but I can say that in a few months we will have summer. No one can say what experiences Russia will pass through in he next few years, but it is possible to say that she is going to have a constitutional form of govern ment." Mr. Bryan positively refused to discuss New York politics in anji way. Vithout a Guide. "I think man should follow the dictates of his conscience." "That is the trouble. Most of us lay our conscience aside when the assessor calls and then go away and forget where we put it." Stranger Than Fiction. A woman has just died in New York at the modest age of 103 who has lived for inanj years on a diet of bread and milk. One by one are our pet superstitions shattered until we rather expect it, but this is a case that is almost beyond believing. Our regulation woman who lives to the age of 105 or even 117 has put in the larger part of her last half century in "ing attention to a clay pipe and the kind of tobacco they grow in the hills. Sometimes, too. she has been in the habit of taking an occasional nip at something from a bottle, but this, however, Is not necessary. In the case of a man we sort of expect It, though. If many more cases of this kind show up it will shatter the notion that the good die young and Incidentally will deprive our prospective centenarians of lots of fun. Locating Them.
