If Mr. Bryan would fLing asitb

to tiie party. And live issues art
not lacking. The present admin¬
istration is fairly bursting with
corruption and rottenness. Gov
eminent funds are being spent
with u recklessness never liefor*
witnessed nnd the hand of graft
has been laid upon nearly even
department if tho government.
More important yet is the hypo¬
critical attitude of the Repub! i
can party toward the trusts, and
the tho protection given (lies*
by tho present taritt
system. All'these' are live issues
; i;i d of importance, while free sit
mr is a dead issue and of no nn-

But as Mr, Bryan sotnis not to

l>o well for tho Democratic parti
to put. him down if it expects to

“'Can yen tell me. who that womai

“ ‘That’s young Mrs. MSekelton, re¬

“ ‘Because she is the most beautlfu

“ ‘You don't mean It.'

remarked at the opera, that young Mrs
MlcUetton was the most beautiful worn
an in New York and there was nothin;,
like her iu Londou.
“About a week after that I was stroll

what I could to dissuade her, but It
was no use. The queen of society bee
