Here 5s a small domestic comedy in Missouri, which, like all true com . edv, has a dash of I he Practical ' pathos to flavor it. "Joke" AKiiln. , ... A man named Bur ton was employed in the ear-shops in Madison, and lie took a bride. After A few months there appeared a per son named Lehman, who knew l!ur ton, and decided to play a practical joke upon him. The joke was to claim the bride as the wife of Leh man. liurton does not seem to have been built, from a very heroic pat tern. for in place of breaking the head of J.ehnian, he had the bride ar rested on the charge of bigamy. Sne spent the night in jail, and the next day the practical joker learned how. much of a joke he had perpetrated. Explanations followed, and finally the bride went back to her husband. She is evidently ton sweet-tempered to attend to him as he deserves, for (and here is the dash of pathos) she said after she was released that she did not mind being in jail, for she knew that she was innocent, and that it would all come out right in the end. The great economical experiences of life are belittled by the same in sistence upon the Tyranny of Trlv trivial: Life and iai ililiiKx. love look into each other's eyes—a man and women elect each other from all the world; but the joyful solemnity of marriage is ruffled by the details of the wedding, perhaps by family squabbles over flowers and gowns and invitations, says a writer in Harper's Bazar. Or Great Death comes in at the door, and the little human soul, over whelmed with grief. appalled by the sudden opening of Eternity before its eyes—yet fusses (there is no other word for it) over '•mourning.'* over the width of the hem of the veil, or the question of crepe buttons or dull jet! This may be shocking, or mournful, or ludicrous, as one happens to look at it, but it is cer tainly uncivilized. One difference between a home and an institution—that is, most institu tions—was indirectly brought out at u recent meeting of the ministerial league in a New England city. The league was addressed by' the presi dent of a woman's union which lias founded a home for working girls. That wise woman told the assembled ministers that one room in the new house is set apart for "sessions of courting." where the girls are per mitted to receive calls from men friends. She reported that the "courting 1 room" is often engaged for weeks ahead. The ministers laughed, but they also applauded this tri umph of human nature over old fashioned institution rule and rou tine. A novel feature of the Colorado exhibit at the St. Louis world's fair wall be a minature irrigated farm— a real farm, with growing crops. The farm will consist of ten acres, in one corner of which will be a .small range of hills, representing the J'oeky mountains; a reservior at the base of the hills will contain the water that flows from a fountain spring gushing from the side of one of the imitation peaks; radiating from the reservoirs will be canals and ditches irrigating tiie fields of growing alfalfa, potatoes, cym, beet* and other crops indigenous to Colo rado soil. It is expected that this exhibit will prove a valuable object lesson to irrigation enthusiasts. Nobody living outside New York knows how, difficult it has become there for people of moderate means to bring up their children in the love of genuine things. It is still done by many, says the Century, but With increasing effort, and only by dint of u strong will and an inheritance of Ihe truest graces of life; simplicity, the domestic affections, and the love of nature and one's kind. It is to the cultivation of these graces that we must look for a rescue from the artificiality and the vulgarity of the pitiable circle in every American city known as "the smart set." TRYING TO HARMONIZE. The Democracy Is Hh* tng a Hard Time Smoothing; Out Kactlanal Difference*. According to the tenor of a great deal of newspaper talk, democratic party reorganization goes merrily on, but it goes tin in such it balky sort of way, that the man who can put his finger on any spot and say: "This is the nucleus of the future har monized democracy," ought to be elected a permanent political weather prophet. Is there any leader of pres idential magnitude who offers a rally ing point? Oh. no! There is David B.i Hill, he is out for it, but if it be true that Bryan still controls even a third | of the party, it is just as true that j that control will prevent any nom-j ination of Hill, or a Hill man in 1904. ] Gorman has his eye on the place, but j the same influence stares him malig- j nantly in the face. Bryan himself i? j out of the question, even if his own | modesty does not preclude his candi- j daey. All that is left of leadership j above the horizon clusters sporad-1 ically about the names of Tom John- j son, of Cleveland; Carter Harrison, j of Chicago; Pattison. of Pennsyl- ! vania, and Olney, of Massachusetts, ■ays the San Francisco Argonaut. i But surely there are issues that will j unite the party! Oh, no. not. par-1 tJcularlv.

Watterson's "man on horseback" issue is not pan ning' out to the delectation of tlie champion of the star-eyed goddess. Democratic stock-raisers of the west frown on Sulzer's project of creating an issue out of the exportation of mules to South Africa. Congressman Richardson's "blush of fhame" issue, which he found in the Christmas report on the Danish is lands transaction, faded as soon as it saw the light. Mr. Hill is for tariff re form, but not much imbued with anti trust politics. Tom Johnson says tariff reform is impossible, tariff abolish ment is his panacea." Imperialism is getting threadbare, the silver ques tion is dead. Democrats are not agreed that the Philippine question is avail able, and in the meantime Mr. Bryan, with his backing of popularity still remaining, is able to keep the reorgan izes generally guessing and always confused. A democratic suggestion is that if Croker and Bryan must re tire in the interest of harmony, others ought to retire, too, and the suggester pertinaciously sticks the point of the suggestion into David li. Hill. It is not a bad idea. The first step toward harmony should be to clear the ground. As long as the old war-horses of the democracy are pawing and prancing about, party harmony is apt to get trodden under foot, and reor ganization chased out of the field. If democracy would gather up her skirts, suppress the old chargers, and let out. some new stock, the chances of "get ting together" would be vastly im proved. The Filipino;}' Friend*. Americans are not in these islands to exploit them. They are not here to pursue the policy pursued by the Spaniards, but a policy that will ele vate and ennoble the Malay race. To accomplish the purpose for which God sent us here we must be true to ourselves and as virtuous, as moral and as honest as we would be at home. We. are closely watched and any lack of principle on our part has its effect at once on the Filipinos. If we are among a race that is immoral we, at least, should be moral. The noblest man in the world is an Amer ican who lives up to the high ideals of his country. Let every American live up to these ideals and we will ac complish in these islands a noble work for God aiul for humanity.— Iloilo (Panay) Times. {C?According to the Bryan philoso phy, Gen. Buencamino, when he met His American captor in Chicago, ought to have displayed resentment toward one who had thus injured the cause of Filipino freedom. Gen. Buen caiuino, however, being a man, and not a nervous degenerate, was very glad to see the man who liar! brought him into intimate acquaintance with American civilization.—Chicago Inter Ocean, CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1902. j BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN PLANS. ! Willlnir to lie Shelved in ISMI4, Hut Still Stnml* by tin* Knuunt < lt> Platform. It is believed lliat William Jennings Bryan brought back some interesting news from hi* recent lecture tour through the south. The news- relates to the stories that the south was ready to turn from the Kansas City platform to accept the leadership of \ David Bennett Hill, says a Lincoln j (Xeb.) report, in the New York Sun. I Mr. Bryan is not talking for publica tion, but he makes no secret to his particular friends of his satisfaction ! over the condition in which he found I democratic politics in the south. While j he discovered that leaders like Bailey, : men with ambitions of tlieir own to follow, have indicated their intention of allying themselves with that fac tion of the democratic party which promises the quickest success na ! tkinally, he found the rank and tile still : loyal. The west he regards as morally cer -1 tain to stand by the Kansas City plat j form, and whatever successes are j achieved in the congress campaign ] this fall he is sure will inure to the benefit of the regular democracy, i At Washington he found unexpected i friendliness among democrats from all j parts of the country, save the middle states. The central west he looks upon | as the real fighting ground of the de- j ■ niocraey in preliminary skirmishes, i and here he proposes togo next, for j the purpose of looking after his 1 fences. Mr. Bryan's plan of campaign is I very simple. It is to rouse the masses who he is firmly convinced look upon principle as more important than ex pediency, to the point where they will use their power to prevent the reor ganizing element from taking 1 charge of affairs. He has become aware that an in sidious attempt is being made with all the signs of a concert of action, by leaders who were pushed to the back ground by the uprising of 180f> to re assert their influence and again to get into control. He realizes that it is a situation fraught with consider able danger to his continued leader ship, but he is willing to abdicate 31 thereby he can secure the success of bis faction. The reorganizes lay entirely toe much stress upon the belief that Bryan is anxious again to lead the national democracy as its candidate. As a matter of fact, that is very little in bis mind. What concerns him most is the fear that through apathy the reins of leadership may drift back into the hands that formerly held them. Ilis concern is to prevent this anrl to secure the nomination in 1004 of some man who stands with him upon the main planks of the Kansas City platform. Here in Nebraska it is be lieved that his real choice is Tom Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, and the three conferences that have taken place between them in the past seven months arf looked upon as corrobo rative evidence. Mr. Tirvan will publicly commit him eslf no further than to say that any pood man who is in pood standing can have his support.

(ETHenry Watterson will nef the trip of himself and crew up the sound on Wednesday in company with Harry Tracy, the escaped Oregon convict, who at the point of a ritie forced all hands to embark and pilot him northward. For nearly ten hours Tracy was com mander of the craft by virtue of force, finally abandoning it and escap ing into the woods. Seattle, Wash., July s.—Convict Harry Tracy killed I'olieeman Hreese and fatally wounded Neil Kowley, j n the city limits, after having murdered Deputy Sheriff Charles Raymond, of Snohomish county, arid probably fa tally wounded Deputy Sheriff John Williams, of Kings county. Gov. Me Bride is taking the keenest interest in the case. He has offered a reward of $2,500. This, with other rewards offered by relatives of the victims of Tracy's rifle, brings tlx' rewards offered tip to $5,600. Thursday night Tracy was located in the home of Mrs. U. H. Van Horn at Woodland I'ark. The news was conveyed to Fremont by a butcher's boy, who broke the intelligence just as Sheriff Cudihee drove into the suburb from Hot hell. The house was surrounded, but Tracy deliberately fought his way through the guards, killing I'olieeman Hreese and mortally wounding (iuard Neil Kowley and dis appeared into the brush towards Ha ven n a park. Sheriff Cudihee twice had a bead upon the desperado, but was unable to tire for the reason that the fugitive bad taken the precaution to walk between two impressed men who would have been imperiled had the sheriff opened fire with his rille. Tracy slept in a barn at Ballard, six miles from here, Thursday night. He was seen to leave Friday morning. Neil Rowley, who was shot by the outlaw, died yesterday. Gov. Meßride has ordered two com panies of national guard to assemble at their armories. It is understood that (lov. MoHride has no intention of palling the troops out unless Tracy should be taken alive, in which case they would be used to prevent a lynching. Though suburban residents in every quarter have notified the sheriff of strange men. supposed to lie Tracy, In their neighborhood, the most re liable report received after that of Tracy's departure from Woodland I'ark was that of his appearance near Bothell, where Thursday's desperate encounter was fought. A correspondent in a bulletin sent from Hothell stated that the convict was reported to have been seen about three miles south of Bothell, driving on a country road. Posses were called in and picketed in a circle about the neighborhood, where he was supposed to be. They beat the brush to a central point, all meeting there. Believing that Tracy had eluded them by some divergent path leading toward Lake Washington on the east. Sheriff Cuddihee released the most of his deputies and proceeded back toward Seattle, establishing a :-ordon of pickets along the entire road. Alleged Polnoner l» Arrp«lc>' u Kfrlke. Burlington. N. J., July 4.—Four of the seven shoe factories of this place were rendered idle yesterday by a strike of employes which is expected to extend to the remaining three establishments. The strike is the re sult of a notice posted in all the fac tories announcing that when the works re-opened next Monday none but non-union hands would be em ployed. The strikers claim that in re cent years their wages have been gradually reduced until now they are receiving 50 per cent, less for their work than was the case ten years aeo. Mrs. D. Arnold, President German Woman's Club, Grand Pacific Hotel, Los Angeles, Cal., Relieved of a Tumor by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. " DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :—I suffered four years ago with a tumor In my womb, and the doctors declared I must goto the hospital and un dergo an operation, which I dreaded very much and hesitated to submit. " My husband consulted an old friend who had studied medicine, although he was not a practising physician, and he said he believed that Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound would cure me. That same day I took my first dose, and I kept it up faithfully until twelve bottles had been used, and not only did the tumor dis appear, but my general health was very much improved and I had not felt so well since I was a young woman. " As I ha*e suffered no relapse since, and as I took no other med icine, I am sure that your Compound restored my health and I believe saved my life."—MßS. D. ARNOLD.
