WHO METCALF IS.
A Young; Man Who Think* a Great
Deni of Mr. Bryan.
From the Washington Post.
"I notice the press dispatches from
Kansas City are burdened with the name
of Mr. R. L. Metcalf,” said Mr. Wing B
Allen of Nebraska, at the Arlington last
night. “It is announced that he is Bryan’s
personal filend; that he is the personal
representative of Mr. Bryan in tho con
vention; that he has held long-distance
telephone conversations with Bryan at
Lincoln; in fact, it would appear that Mr.
M tealf is the agtncy through which Mr.
Br>an is in control of the Naticrllil Con
vention of Democrats. In view' of his sud
den prominence, it may interest your
readers to know' who R. L. Metcalf is.
"Metcalf is ro*h ng but a boy; at least,
he was no.hing but a boy about ten years
a.iio, when I first knew' him. It was in
:SB9, when Nebraska elected her last full
set of Republican officials. Young Met
calf came down to Lin oln, the sitate cap
ital, as a reporter for the Omha Bee. He
was very -slight, about five feet five inches
in highl, with mild gray eyes and blonde
hair. He wore a cowboy hat and dressed
v-ry plainly. He looaed to be about twen
ty-one years of age. and if he drew SSO a
men'h as wages he was probably we 1
paid. Two years Hater, when the Populists
and the followers of orh*r isms had over
thrown the Republicans and were in con
trol of the Legislature, .NL tealf b.caine a
refoimer and trade his mark as a report
er for the Omaha World-Herald in expos
ing official corruption, and as a leader of
the unmar.ageab.e farmer-legislators he
wav a great success.
* He ill-covered W illiam Jennings Bryan.
He Loomed him lirsi for Congress, and
later for anything in sight. Since then he
has talked Bryan, written Bryan, and
preached Bryan. He induced Bryan to be
con e a stockholder in the Wor d-Herald,
and lab r to rose as its < and tor. When B y
an was nominate! for the presidency,
Metcalf her-ame the editor. Since then he
has had bui one motive in Ilf*—to elect
Bryan President. He is Bryan's most Inti
mate friend and ad\lser. He has jfone
with the Democratic leader everywhere
and comforted, aided, and enthused him
when Bryan wou and no doubt have given
up the battle. If William Jennings Bryan
should be elected President, do you th nit
tl at young man w ould be likely to have
any influence ov.er the destinies of the
country?"

“COMLONLY USED DRUG"
Dr. Wood Refers to Coffee.
Dr. Jas. Wood of Philadelphia, speak
ing of the effect of coffee, says: "These
symptoms bear 6llent but impressive wit
ness to the terrible injury which is being
wrought by this commonly used drug.”
If health is worth anything, Is is worth
looking after carefully. Any person who
drinks coffee and has any sort of ailment
that can be traced back, through even a
very long line of disturbances, to the ner
vous system, may depend upon It that
coffee is the cause of the difficulty.
The drug contained in coffee has o di
rect action upon the nerves, differing in
different people. The effect may show in
one person in the shape of dyspepsia, in
another person in weak eyes, in another
palpitation of the heart, in another kidney
or bowel trouble, In another bad com
plexion or eruptions on the skin, in an
other a general feeling of lassitude and
weakness at times. All of these and a
long list of other disturbances come
directly from a disturbed nervous sys
tem, where the nerve matter, the delicate
gray substance that is contained In the
nerve centers and in the brain—has been
destroyed, to an extent, and not replaced
from the food.
That Is the exact work of coffee wljh
highly organized people. Such people
feel the loss of coffee for a time, unless
something Is given to take Its place.
This Is the mission of Postum Food
Coffee; It not only furnishes, when prop
erly made, a delicate coffee flavor In It
self, but carries with It the phosphate of
potash and other elements required by
Nature to rebuild the nervous system and
re-construct the tearing down work that
has been going on from the use of "drug
coffee." (We use the words "drug coffee"
because all regular coffee la in reality a
drug, and Its continued use will, In ninety
caeee out of a hundred, bring on trouble
of some kind.)

THE MOKNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 8, 1900.
WANTED A STENOGRAPHEJt-COOK.
This Advertisement I* the Outcome
of the New Tea Drinking Habit.
New York, July 6.—Business men are
not willing to admit it, but the fact re
mains, that the employment of so many
women clerks, cashiers, stenographers,
etc., in offices has brought about many
curious social changes in the down-town
district.
For instance,, one sees fewer masculine
feet hoisted on top of desks than of old
and hears much less strictly unscriptur
al language.
But the most curious development,
probably, is the conflict between the tea
cup and the cocktail glass, with the odds
at present In favor of the former. Hyson
is crowding both Manhattan and Martini.
Afternoon tea is a far from unusual
thing now in business offices—especial
ly among lawyers and literary men. To
brain workers tea is a sedative to over
excited nerves, and when the strain of
the day is over a hot cup of “Oolong” or
“English Breakfast” isn’t half bad. It
induces a sweet consciousness of inno
cence and keps one out of mischief.
For some time it has been the habit
of a man at the head of a big news
paper to have his pot of tea every after
noon at 4 o’clock. He uses a coquettish
ly pretty china tea service, brags of his
special blend of tea, and one of the office
boys fetches regularly a fresh supply of
cream.
The process of brewing this tea is one
of great ceremony, and no matter what
happens. Is never neglected. The small
Jnpanned tea-caddy is in a silver holder.
The silver tray Is covered with, a napkin
of Mexican drawn-work. The water is
boiled In a shining brass kettle, and the
cups are fine and delicate as egg shells.
It is brought into his office by a colored
attendant, whereupon the great man meas
ures out Just so many teaspoonfuls (not
forgetting one for the i>ot). iours the prop
er quantity of water over the aromatic
leaves, and allows them to steep just so
many minutes by the watch. In solitary
state be drinks his customary number of
cups, and then prepares to leave his of
fice for th£ day.
Contrasted with this idyllic picture is
the tea drinking in a very famous pub
lishing house. Here, ns the clock strikes
4, the heads of the departments, men and
women, congregate in one of the rooms,
ready for their social half hour of gossip
and tea. The equipage here is not as
elegant as that of the great editor’s, but
the women present give on agreeable
home-likenss absent from the solitary
tea drinking.
The women take turna presiding at this
4 o'clock tea. The men sit around and
are waited upon, and they secretly enjoy
the sensation as men always do, and many
a book has been made or annihilated at
these Informal functions.
Here is a "want notice,” which appear
ed the other day in a morning paper:
"Wanted—A stenographer who can cook.”
Evidently the tea movement is leading to
greater things. A typewriting machine
with an oil stove annex is a glittering pos
sibility In the business career of the new
woman of the futur*.
THE CHAFE RON SPECIALIST.
Matron* Who Imlortakf to Prettily
Police the Summer Girl To-day.
t New York, July 6. These are
the days when the woman who
takes up the thankless task of
chaperonage is obliged in \ r ulgar, but ex
pressive language to hustle and all the
thanks she gets she earns. In the good
old times when the summer girl’s chief
mission in life was to pose on the beach
under an umbrella built for two, and show
a clean pair of Louis Qulnz heels in the
casino ball room, any dear old drowsy
grandmamma or near-sighted auntie who
tatted and watched for lurking draughts,
served admirably well as a chaperon. She
smuggled Into corners, never spoke unless
spoken to and yet she kept her charges in
good order and was an honor to her pro
fession.
Grandmamma and auntie really wouldn’t
last one day at the work that in these
present summer seasons falls to the lot of
a chaperon whose conscience is in the
right place. An all around, capable duen
na has no sinecure when she undertakes
to prettily police and protect the summer
girl of 1900. In the first place she must
dress uncommonly well, she must know
how to make tea, to play golf, to be friend
ly to dogs, understand horse talk, keep n
level head, pink cheeks, and a good appe
tite, no matter how’ big and green the
waves look. She must be perfectly will
ing to w’alk miles on golf links, whisk un
complainingly to the box seat of a coach,
rat welsh rarebit nt midnight without a
protest, keep the extra young men of her
protege amused while a particularly fav-

DANIEL HOGAN:
The corner Broughton and Barnard Sts.
ored admirer is being put through hi*
i flirtation paces and pedal the automatic
piano playing machine when necessary.
Of course it s<ands to reason that a
| chaperon who fills to perfection oil these
requirements is something of a rare bird.
* yet she remains the summer girl’s ideal,
while as a matter of fact chaperonage in
this present year of grace threaten* to be
practiced by specialists only. There is
for instance the golf matron who know*
how to sit on a shady club house balcony,
brew lea and mind a dog and young mao
at the *ame time that she effectually
keeps her eye on her charge by means of
a powerful field glas*. Then there is he
yachting duenna and the coaching and au
tomobile chaperon, every one quite per
fect in her own wav and at a coast re
sort these reasons one chaperon added to
her laurels and possibly to the onerous du
ties of her sister professionals by plung
ing in and rescuing from the greedy waves
the pretty girl who was under her care.
"After all.” . remarked one handsome
matron v.ho inquired anxiously whether
life saving would hereafter be one of the
requirements of a chaperon., “chaperonage
is not what it once was and there prom
ises to be a serious strike along the line
of matrons this season unless the summer
girl and her young man follow’ the fashion
recently set at Newport and Bar Harbor
of liberally compensating with a gift the
woman who is strong and brave enough to
undertake the difficulties and dangers
such a position entails.”
WHEN THEY ARE MARRIED.
Old Fanliloned Bridal Custom* That
May Effectively Revived.
In England there are several w'eddlng
customs peculiar to localities. At Stoke
Courey for example, a chain of flow'ers is
drawn across the street and the bridal
party are not allowed to pass on their
way home until the bridegroom has sat
isfied the demands of the holders for
money wherewith to drink the health of
the happy couple. When the ropes of
flowers are held at several places the toll
mounts up to a considerable sum.
Silver sand Is spread on the pavement
in front of the bride’s house after she has
set out for the church. The sand is ar
ranged in the form of wreath* of flowers,
half-moons and mottofts, and good wdshes
for the bride’s happiness. Other houses
in the street are also similarly adorned,
and numerous flowers of sand and hearty
good wishes greet the bride on her return
to her home. The origin of this is thus
explained. King Canute after fording a
brook, sat down to shake the eand out of
his shoes. While he tv as doing thi a
bridal party passed by, and he shook the
sand in front of them, wishing them joy
and as many children as there were grains
of sand.
Mrs. Gaskell wrote that when she was
married all the houses in the town were
sanded, and these were the two favorite
verses inscribed on the sand:
"Long may they live,
Happy may they be.
Blest with content,
And from misfortune free."
Unpopular bride* have chopped straw
scattered in front of their houses.
In Yorkshire, the home of so many old
cuetoms which still linger, after a wed
ding is over, races are run in a Held near
the church, the prize being a ribbon pre
sented by the bride. This ribbon is a
substitute for the bride's garter, w’hich
used to be taken off a* she knelt at the
altar and offered as a prize for the fleetest
runner. "Shooting the bride” is an Irish
custom. The bridal party are 9 saluted
with shots from muskets and pistols in
every village through which they pas*.
This is supposed to drive away evil spirits.
Another custom is to pour hot water
on the door steps after a wedding, in or
der that- other marriage** may flow. The
idea seems to be to keep the threshold
warm for another bride, and not to sug
gest any unpleasant prophecies with re
gard to the future of the newly wedded
pair.
On "Taking Day” young men and maid
en** assembled in a park the Sunday pre
vious to the county fair, and selected their
partners for that day. Many marriage*
are said to follow. A lover is often re
quired to pay his footing on commencing
courting. If he refuses to do so he gets
a dip into a flour sack.
Friday evening is not considered a cor
rect time for courtship. The first person
spying a couple so engaged enters the
house, seizes a frying pan and beats on it
a tattoo. This arouses the neighbors, who
give a warm reception to the offending
couple.
When a lover is faithless the maiden
pricks the “wedding” finger, and with
.he blood writes upon paper her own name
and that of the sw r ain, underneath three
tings are formed, still with the blood.
Dig a hole In the ground, bury the paper,
keeping the whole matter secret. This
is an unfailing charm.

Gray Goose Gander, Tells About His
Marriage With Airs. Goose.
If the ducklings and goslings and silly
geese have got through their sputtering
and clacking I'll begin my story. When I
see how you go on all day long I wonder
if I was ever as flighty and foolish as the
most of you. In my young days no gos
ling or duckling under a year old was per
mitted to state his or her Ideas and put
on airs, and I can't get used to It.
I am, as you know, called Dandaddy
Gander. That Is because I am the oldest
goose on the farm. As near as I can
moke out I’m ten years old and you may
guess that I’ve seen many changes in that
time. Bless you, but when I came to this
place, only a yellow gosling and weak on
my legs, the fanner had only one child,
while now he has three sons and a dauga
ter. I have seen Thanksgiving, Christmas
and New Year's come and go ten times,

bachelor, and there was a good deal of
laughing and Joking at my expense. After
thinking the matter over one day, I found
a hole In the goose-yard fence and started
oft across the field*. I think I walked
a good five miles, and at length I came
to a farm where there was a large flock

tryiivgr to look my best, and when I had
come near I said:
“Ahem! Pleasant day, Isn’t it?”
“Very pleasant,” she answered with a
smile.
"Are your folks all well?”
“All In usual health, thank you. Did
you want to see our gander about any
thing?”
•*Oh, no, I’m just strolling around, you
see.” Then I looked at her out of the
corner of my eye, and I also saw her look
ing at me, and pretty soon I said:
"Yea, I am Just strolling around, but
looking for a wife at the same time."
"La me!" ahe replied with a bluih.
"Would you think It Impudent tf I asked
: If you were engaged?"
"It would be awfully Impudent, young
; gander."
"But I have taken a great liking to you."
jI said.
j "Please don't!" ahe giggled.
“Yes, I admire you, and If you think
you can learn to love me I will ask you
to bo my wife.”
She cast down her eyes and b'.ushed. and
then to hide her blushes, she hid her head
under hor wing. I was pleased enough,
you may bo suro, and after promising that
she would have everything a sensible
gooso ckiuld expect, I put my wing around
her and walked her off. At home they
thought I was lost and had been devoured
by a fox, and as wo entered the farmyard
the farmer, his wife and all the geese and
ducks running to greet us. I was
congratulated, the good looks of my wife
loudly praised, and the farmer slap
ped his leg and laughed and said to his
wife:
‘‘l tell you, Mary, thnt’s a smart young
gander! He’s not only found a mate, but
he’s added another goose to our flock and
do you see that they have a good supper
and a good big share of the mud pud
