“ABSENT TREATMENT.”
The day after the Ohio ('»nvf ntl n.
hen announcing that h« '.ntr-nded to
uht to the bitter end every effort
to force the abandonment of the Chi-
ago and Kansas City platformu, Mr ,
Bryan remarked: "The gold bug*. I j
am afraid, are trying to administer
nt treatment to the rank and file
of the party." A* "absent treatment"
is a comparatively new term and there
fore may hot convey a very definite
Idea to some readers the following
explanation thereof given by the Phil*
adelphla Record is not without value;
Absent treatment Is the Invention of
Christian Science., and it •* * possible me
nace to the physical health and mental
»oundoes* of unsuspecting persons,
the term "absent treatment’ hi meant
the, application of one person s mind to
iho work of affecting He condition of
another person In the absence or the lat
ter. It is sometimes carried on without
the knowledge or consent of the trestifc
though he will alWttysMLpd out about U
from the bill. If atwntYreatment should
bo confined to the curing of disease no
easorahle objection coula bo made, an
ew* tbs one who might b* asked to pay
the pill should have warrant for a protest.
Slowest*, even Mm. Kdd/ ha* admitted
that It I* quite a* possible to exercise a
malign a* to exert a wholesome or cura
tive Influence by the methods of the heal
er*. obviously. Hen, there is no protec
tion agulnwt the malice of a projector of
influences. «tnre It can work secretly and
in illcnc* as well as at u distance. Thus
a truly good man may retire' to his couch
In u most amiable frame of mind, at peace
with All mankind, and admired and loved
by his family and his friends; yot during
the night he may be mark* to undergo a
complete change of disposition as a result
of an absent treatment. He may arise .n
great Ill-nature, And fault with the coffee,
spank the baby, nnd after slamming tho
door behind him go down town to quarrel
with his associates.

Whether the Ohio delegates arose In
great Ill-nature on that memorable
day, found fault with tho coffee,
spanked the baby and slammed tho
door on, their way to the convention
will never be known, but It l» at least
certain that they kicked over the
trace* In a lively manner after they
got there. If we are to believe some
of the reports, they not only hissed
and hooted the ruggestlon that con
fidence be expressed In Mr. Bryan and
his platform, but "Ignored and Insult
ed" the great Nebraskan. At al
events they made It known in no un
certain manner that they Intended to
train after him no longer. Rut how
do tho "gold hug*" come in ? Waa
this the result of "absent treatment,
or secret nnd malign Influence set in
motion by them? Was It not rather
an example of the universal tendency
on the part of an exasperated fol
lowing, weary of defeat to turn upon
an obstinate leader who persist* In an
uuwltai course regardless of every rem
onstrance?
It Is quits true that the gold demo-
mat* have earnestly endeavored to heal
a "disease" afflicting their party,
In thl* respect there Is some sugges
tion of analogy. Hut they wont about
the work In on open, honest and loyal
way. They protested nt the proper timo
nml In no uncertain term* against tho
imported Populistic heresies, Including
IB to 1, but when election day came In
ninety-nine cane* out of a hundred j
they stuck to tholr party In spite of
the diseases It bad contracted, hoping
for tho day of a return to health.
They did not work in tho dork, em
ploying tlus arts • of the conjuror or
"Absent" healer with purpose good or
bad. It was simply a matter of wise
and manly protest at the proper time.
If as a result of this protest, and of
the disasters predicted in advance,
*omo excitable people have gone too
far—rpsnktng babies In the morning
and Insulting Mr. Dry an In tbs after
noon—It Is not the fault of those who
hnd tho courage to begin and the wl*«
th>m to engineer a legitimate. Judicious
and vitally necessary reform.

It Is a delightful game—this game of
politics—to the man who loves It; and
who does not love It, except the man
who does not aspire to place and pomp

votes and loaves and fishes!
Hut there are day dreams and also

There is a rose to be plucked occa

more thorns from the flesh.
I wus standing at midday In the ro
tunda—that's tho way they begin—the
rotunda of the carshed. and Col, Bob
Bannister of Hanniatervllie, begrimed
with dust and perspiration, crawled
over a handsome and mighty porter
from the rear platform of a Pullman
sleeper to th* ground. He caught me
by the hand already elevated (a la
mods) to my chin for a shake.
0)1. Bannister Is an exception
to the rule. He does not like to bo
quoted and classed as a "Prominent
Politician." IIo ha* had lamo back-
sst* as well a* setbacks In life, and
whllo not soured he has censed to
strtiagle. He does not mind talking
out in meeting under hla rightful namo
and title. Being asked he is always
willing.
"Now, my boy," said he, "get me
down right. Dot your i'a and cross
your t's &h you go. Plenty of time.
Don't depend on memory—It's danger
ous. Plant your back against that rail
ing and throw forward those trumpet-
like ears of yours. I'll King it slow,
and In square notes.
"Did you speak of politics, and the
governorship? Why bless your soul.
Hud, Allen Candler was only Inaugu
rated eight months ago, and I had
not heard that he contemplates re
signing. Tho Ploughboy from Pigeon
Roost hss been holding an office ever
since I was a boy, and I have (never
heard him act us*d of resigning. I
think DuPont Guerry, and Terrell and
Brown—tf they are running for a fact
—are misinformed. No, Bud, the Guv.
has not resigned, nor will he. I'll bet
a thrlp against a ginger cake that he
Is not thinking of it.
"They all know It, do they? And
they are running, then, Just to while
away two summers and one winter of
discontent—for fun—just to keep things
lively until tho old man at the capltol
sheds hla shoe* a year from next
winter!
"Ye*, I have heard the early bird thc>
ory advanced, but I have known them
to get out after the worm eo darned
early that a belated night hawk got
the bird. It won’t do, Bud. Too pre
vious. It won't do to fix up your fences
hefort the equinox. Chances are that
you will have to fix them up again after
the fall storms. Won't do to plant
young truck in Georgia this year to be
gathered next year. Frost will got It
sure. Ir will fall with the sear and
yellow leaf and cumber the ground.
These are bright and good men, and
I wish there was a governorship for
each one of then), but there is not. I
hear that one is out, and that the oth
ers are straining In the. slips for the
start. My advice Is, Don’t. It’s a long
race/ Think of two stimmere ahead!
You have heard of the.old race horse
that started, fumbled and fell. U’* a
lesson to us all. Long track, full of
holes; neither straight, nor round, nor
elliptical. It Is as Jagged and Jerl^y as
lightning, but there the comparison
ends; It endures for two sifmmers and
a winter thrown In for good measure.
4 *I know you newspaper men like It,
because It gives you a live topic for a
dull summer, borne times (I moan no
reproach) It brings you business. But
tp an old-timer like me it is something
sad and serious—this over-lapping of
Time; this claiming of the Chickens
before they are hatched. Sometimes
when they are fished out of the sheila
before their full time they come gaffs
foremost.
"You think It Is al! right? Well, you
are n youngster, and your pinfeathers
are not dry yet. You've a heap to learn
before Solomon will be jealous of you."
The gong sounded, the air brakes
hissed like a giant viper, there was a
hurry-scurry among the folks with
grips, and the colonel bounded on on
outgoing train. From the rear plat
form of the vanishing coach ho fehouted
back at me:
"Bud, tell the boys to wait a bit!”
A PETRIFIED INDIAN IIAIIY.
Curio Which n Traveling Mon
round fn |„,|i nll i> r rilorv.
ST. LOUIS. July 20.—Travers A. GcL-o!.
a traveling man. residing at 3S18 Ruteel!
avenue, has his possession a curio whl-h
he believes to be the only one of it* kind
in the country, portions of a petrified
Indian baby. He has the upper part of
the skull and tho portion of the body be-
l0 Eu th ? H***! \ n * case at hi* home.
Iho baby belonged to the Ponca tribe
of Indians and was found in an abandoned
Indian burying ground, eight mile* south
west of Ponca City, Okie., and about sev-
en miloe west of White Eagle. On hi*
last trip through this territory Mr. Geisel
learned of the location of the burying
ground and determined to visit it. He
was warned that if the Indians caught
d-fcturbing the dead he would prob
ably find himself a candidate for the
scalping knife, but the young man de*
termined to take the risk anyway. H<
procured a pony at Ponca City end roJo
out to the cemetery. He found it, after
much searching, on the top of a high hill.
from the days when the Indian* wrapped
their dead in blankets nnd laid them
. ot «°me high knoll.
Mr. Oelfol did not find anything which
he thought would pay him to carry away
until he reached the very top of the hi!!,
the portions of -the burying ground, he
was later Informed, set aside for the chief
of the tribe and the members of his fam
ily. There he found a blnnket. and with
out making any investigation to ascertain
what It contained! picked it up and
started on the return trip. When ho
reached hfs hotel, he. behind locked doorr.
made an investigntlnn which resulted In
the discovery that he had In bis po«fe„-
sion an Indian baby boy. The portion of the
young savage which the St. Louisan was
able to bring home Is almost y» hard as
stone. The flesh and muscles have shrunk
and clung to the bones, but it Is ea*y
to ree that tho remains are these of n
human being.
Later, Mr. Geisel went to Lone Wolf,
the present Indian chief, and learned
from him the story of the death of one
of the Indian princes of the tribe, tho
only one In the cemetery the chief In
formed him, which was. laid to rent wirh
beads tied about the body. This lad hart
been sacrificed by hi* father, who wn*
then the relgnin* chief, that the port*
might bo appeared and an epidemic which
was then prevailing be stopped. Black
beads and one red bead were placed In a
reseplacle and drown by the braves of
the tribe. The chief drew the red bead
and, according to the terms of the agree
ment. was compelled to sacrifice hi* own
son. A haby boy ohout 1 year old was
relectod an the victim and killed by a
rt.igge.* thrust. This boy. Mr. Gtlsel be
lieve*. was the one wWoh ho Is now ex
isting to friends.
