And yet It should by this time be dear to all reflecting men. among Mr. IJryan'a moat ardent supporters, that hla fourth candidacy would be a great tnlafortuna to tha Domooratlo parly. If he could not win In 1101 whan there were so many condition* favoring Democratic suc cess, he can never win.

In split of hid pa triotic desire to baneflt the whole peo ple, It la clear that he can hot live down the widespread distrust caused by hts silver record and by hta advo cacy of the socialistic policy of Gov ernment ownership of rallroala. We commend to Mr. Bryan'* se rious attention the following from the Charlotte. N. C..

A * ' * The iyi|graph, ho* called attention <4 In/ estimate of oratory Edmund Burke*! claim lack of personal magnetism. But now we have a writer in Blackwood’e Magt- alne denying Gladstone's Utle to ora tory because the secret of hie sue- cesg ae a speaker lay In his presence and delivery, and his supposedly groat speeches died with him for lack of substance in them to warrant them being read and kept alive. From the standpoint of this writer **aitdstono wasn't a statesman, he was a polltl dan; he wasn't even a politician, he was a popular orator: he wasn't even nn orator, ha waa a spooler.” Con tlnulng he says: The secret of hi* oratory died with him. It resided chiefly, no doubt, In a vibrant voice and a falcon's eye. .Jf|« once famoua Speeches long ago passed, with hla occasional writings. Into the limbo of forgotten, things. Tbev were nope of them touched with the / distinction Which confers Immor tality. And even had h* possess ed -the rare gift of distinction, his speeches would by this time have lost their savor. He could not park hla words with thought. As Lord Morlcy says, he was not a "prophet, seer, po# t, founder of a system or great horn man of let ters." Even of tho subject* which he claimed for his own &iJ* mastery was Incomplete. Nobody today pretends that he had the smallnst warrant for the Invrctlvo which he was pleased to pour out upon the Turk. 80 rapid were hi* changes of view that r>© word* of today contradicted the words of yesterday, tmt hla appearance of moral earnestness never changed: the deelre to prove himself and his opinions Immutable wee constant. If he deceived others, he had a perfect faculty of deceiving him self. and with the passage of thl years he believed himself both In fallible And consistent. However, ho had little to say that was au thentic, and by a strange irony hardly n phrase remains to u* coined by tho most verbose man that over opened hi* mouth. In speech. To those who can remember whmt * wide swath England’s "Great Com moner” cut In hi* day—what a ro- rnnrkahle student and authority he wa* proclaimed to be In many Adds It doe* appear eomcwhnt etrango that he ehould have dropped so completely out of publlo view since his death.

The draught caused by the best carries the live foals tn the air. Rivers, swamps and even broad lakes fall to stop tha progress of the flames, the flying cinders soon carrying destruction to the other aide. A fire starting In a mixed evergreen end decidu ous forest, where there arc no brush heaps, will do but little damage.

A correspondent of the New York flun., In order to “utter a word of warning to Mr. Taft,” quote* a* fol lows front Plutarch's commentary on a ruler who lived B. C. 118-78: Lucius Cornelius flylla waa da- scamlod of a pptrlclnn of noble family, . Tho time In which he lived waa no longer an age of pure and upright manners, but had already declined, and yielded to the appetite for rlchea nnil luxury; yet still In the general* opinion they who dessrtod lh« he reditary poverty of thslr family were aa much blnmert M those who had run out a fair patrimo nial estate . . . when supreme master of ell, he waa often wont to muster together tha moat Im- pudonl playcm and stage follow er* cf the town and to drink and hnndy J**ta with them without re gard to hi* age or thd dignity ot hie place, and to the prejudice of Important affair* that required Hta attention. In general he would deem to have been of a very Irregular character, full of tnoonataton- else with himself; much given to raplim. to prodigality yet more; lh .promoting or dis gracing whom he pleased alike unaccountable; cringing to those he stood tn need of, end domineer ing over others who stood tn need of him; mi that It was herd to tsll whether his natur* had more tn It of pride or of servility.

Sylla, using his fortune moderately and unambltlouely at first, and giving good hopes of a true patriot, firm to the Interests both of the nobility and common-, alty, being, moreover, of a gay and cheerful temper from hla youth, has perhaps deservedly coat a blemish upon offices of great au thority. a* If they deranged men's former habits and character and gave rtae to violence, pride and In humanity.

This was apparently a figure controlled by mechanical devices, and which was able, notwithstanding the fact that ap parently no Intelligence \\j% re (team ed In Its movements and decisions, generally to beat ts human antagonists. The cabinet connected with the auto maton appeared entirely too small to contain a hidden operator. And yet It did conceal a man who was an ex pert chess player. He was a Polish patriot who had lost both of his legs —perhaps In the recent war over Po land. This man. Woronsky by nome, was an expert player. With him hid den in the cabinet and yet really on the spot, the rest was easy. The career of George Psalmanaxar —a* he called himself—war one of the most astonishing on record. This man was born . In Swltxerltnd or Franco, but during the time of hi* fame claimed to be a native of, the Lisland of Formosa. He had acquir ed a moderate education, but seemed Indisposed to employ hlmnelf In any regular occupation. Indeed, he roam ed over Europe, serving with the Dutch and with the German army. At one time he prefended to be nn Irishman, at another an unconverted Japanese, at a third time as a converted Japan ese. In the l**t capacity he deceived the tolonel of a British regiment nt Sluys. The chaplain of the regiment — a man named Innea—however, did not seem to have proceeded to England and flisiw organ a marveloue career. Psalmanatar masquerade^ a* a gen uine native of Formosa converted to Christianity. The clergy received him with open arms. He had an Interview with the archbishop of Canterbury, who. how ever. was unr.ble to understand his Latin. But then, who would expect a Foremosan to speak Latin with per fection? Ho publlehed an Invented Formosan alphabet, together with forg ed examples of the native language, accompanying them with translations. The bishop of London seems to have believed lmpll:**v In b<r clofm to kni.v the language of Formosa, for he em ployed Psalmanaxar to translate the church catechism Into It. He was sent to the University of Oxford to flush hts education. There he Is said to have employed his waking' houfs In anJdle way. but to have left a candle burning while he slept to bear witness of his seal In scholastic pursuits. He wrota a treatise upon Formosa In Lat in. When this wo* translated Into English, It had a very large success. To corroborate hts claim of being a native Formosan, he would eat raw meat, roots and herbs. Ho was lion ised. end was Immensely successful. Although he carried on the deception with the greatest Ingjimt/ -Waiving great and small, he tripped at last.

Paschal, Cleopatra and others. M. Charles, the great mathematician, waa apparently ready to believe that all the ancients wera proficient In this lan- E jage, for he was completely fooled by uens. In 1167, among toher docu msnts Lucas communicated to th< academle through Charles two letters and four note* purporting to havo been written by the celebrated French mathematician and thinker. Blaise Pascal (1632-1668). If these letters had been genuine they wouM have proved him to have anticipated New ton 1(642-1787) In his great discovery of the law of gravitation. Charles was attacked, but stood h's ground, even producing other letters to bear him out —from Pascal to tho boy Nswton. The discussion lseted for two years. In 1868. ths academle made an official de claration In favor of the genuineness of the letters. France went wild. The ’people In the atreet cheered the name of Pascal. But shortly afterward an official of the observatory, pointed out that sixteen of the Pascal letters were to be found In Saverien’s “History of Modern Philosophers,” which had ap peared a century before. But M. Charles claimed that M. Eaveretn had used them without acknowledging hts source. And so It went. But Le Ver- rler demolished tho whole fabric of the fraud. Lucas was finally brought to trial, convicted and sent to prison for two years. He had realised, however, about 880.006 from his activities. Simonides was a past mister In the art of literary forgery. Hla perform ances belong to aproxlmntely the name period, but were accomplished on dif ferent soli. His greatest achievement was the forgery of a*history of ancient Egypt written In Greek by Uranolt. This He proposed to sell to the Ger mans for a greet sum. In order to un. dsrsUnd Just what a marvelous piece of work ho produced. It wjlf bo neces sary to understand some of the diffi culties. He undertook to produce a palimpsest—that is, an old parchment manuscript which has been used again for a modern work. He took a mann. script of about the twelfth century, and wrote hts history on the same parchment. As this new writing waa to masquerade as the older, he had to avoid getting a single lino of new upon any part of the old. Thta re quired wonderful core, os there was really but very little apace. In eddl tion. he hod to make ths Greek 1st tera he used agree with ths style of the century they were supposed to repre sent. Of coursa. the history Itself and the character of the language had to correspond with the supposed period of composition.

Jones brothers co. had. properly hpeaking, no sHtsmEwol education, either literary or artlstlo. But h« had real genius. An autlquoiloa of the name of Frcppa employed him for two franca per day to produce ' antique* which might be sold at a xood profit Bo tills became Bastlunlm's life work—tho Piofuction of forgeries. One at f.Ja most coxbrated works Is the bust of Bavo-i > rola. • Persuaded that here waSa reiu Fifteenth century bust, two publlc-splr- Ited gentlemen collected 10,000 francs ahil purchased It from Freppa to prevent Its sale and exportation. Ono critic. Du pre. declared that ho must assign it to Michel Angelo for Its force and to Robbia for the exqulsltenees of Us treatment, re garding It aa a wonderful work of art 1 Sir Frederick Leighton, the noted Eng lish painter, having received a photo graph. placed It'"Ilka a sacrediirugo.at the head of his bed.” It la said that tho I Grand Duchess Marla of Russia and Llp- part seriously thought of building * tem ple to house this wonderful work of art. t;-" M YfftSKSHL 'bust 3 L ud M I Rumors having become current that the piece of terra ootta was not what It pur ported to be. one of the purchasers abruptly demanded of Bastlanlnl one day at his workshop whether he was the I creator of tho bust And he admitted that he waa. But this was not the only great "success of Bastlanlnl. A terra cotta bust of Benevienl. a sixteenth cen tury poet of France, was regarded as a con temporary work of-art and pur- cnaited by fhe Louvre for 13.000 francs, and 'installed In a room .containing work of Michael Angelo himself. But It w.xa a fok< for all that. u In tho late nineties an English maga- slne was founded with the avowed object I of printing true tales of adventure and the like. Gne day a man. caUlng himself Louis de Rougemont. handed a letter of Introduction from a member of parlia ment to the editor. The stranger told a harrowing tale of a life, spent In Aus tralia with cannibals In an unexplored region of that continent Rougemont was ‘he most merciless cross-] The editor introduced Rougemont to scientists, confident that the experiences of the man were of value to geography and anthropology. Two omlgsat geo graphical expert* heard hi* _atory, tested tt from their wld* and accurate knowl edge. and risked their reputations by giv ing It full credit. They, too, were of opinion that It contained matter of sspa- rt*l Imnortancs to science. The Brisk Association for the Advancement of Sel ene* began to bs officially Interested. Bristol meeting. Roukemont’s Fight With Octoputi Rougemont told a truly staggering tale. He enriched It with lively detail! of a fight with an octopus, of a wreck from which he was saved by a swimming dog to whose tall he cl^ng, of an Island on which he landed and where ha. lived turtle meat and rode on turtles as If they were horses, of a visit of four starving blacks, one of whom, a woman, he mar ried and to whom he even dedicated hla astonishing narrative, and of his leaving ths island to become ths ruler of an Aus tralian cannibal tribe for thirty years. Long before ths magaain* had com pleted tho story, Rougemont was found to b* a faker. Hla blograph” wa* Action. Ho had, however, deceived for a consld- and the finest collection of examples of are that exist* anywhere In ths world. And yst this great museum of art has been made within reesnt years the victimi of a striking Piecs of forgery. There was submitted tolls Inspection and anoroval a wonderful example of ths goldsmith's art. This was claimed to ta the tiara of Saltapharnea, and to have been dut up In southern Russia. Tha Louvre paid £4,666 for thi hradptec*. Henri Roche fort. the noted editor of L'lntrsnslgeant, branded the headpiece as a forgsry. It Is porsibel that hs did not act entirely Inde pendently. although hs was an sxpert In art matters. To support tha allegation of fraud, there was brought t op»rls a certain H. Kpubhomovskt, a goldsmith of Odessa. Arrived In Peris, hs demon-1 *trated that hs could Indeed execute work the equal of the tiara. The upshot of It all seems to be that ths tiara was partly genuine, but #th*rw!«e to have been the I work of the accomplished M. Koukom- ovskL Our MUsIng Limerick Contest.
