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?" —The production of oxygen in a com mercial way is proposed by Prof. Raoul Pictet of Geneva. His method Is to admit air to a condenser cooled by liquid air. relying upon the low temperature to at so the oxygen to separa e by gravity ficm the nitrogen. When the two gases have separated the oxygen will be drawn off fr m the 1 ottom cf the ci ndenser and the nitrogen from the top, while the car bonic acid, which will be liquefied, will bo drawn off into tubes. With an engine cf 500 ho se power some 500,000 cubic feet of oxygen can be obtained, it is said, In one day. “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.) Postum Food Coffee Is sold by ell Oret cUss grocer* 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- Up Against Hot Weather! and trade needs an incentive to make it go.

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. LADIES' HOSE. Special bargains in Misses’ Black Riche lieu Ribbed Hose 15c; worth 30c.

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, and if I should tell you of the number of geeee and ducks killed for those holidays you'd iook pretty serious for a day or two. Let that pass, how'ever, while I tell you how I found a wife and stole a gooee at one and the some time. Wheif I was a year or more old I be gan to look around for o mate. There were only seven or eight of us then, and the only goose without a mate was so homely and 111-natured that I wouldn't even speok to her when I could help it. j It looked as if I should become an old Then I Looked at Her Out of the Corner of My Eye. 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 of gees* Some were rwtmmlng In the pond, snd some feeding In the fields, and pretty soon I noticed a fine young goose all by herself. I edged along up to her, FIRE PROOF SAFES. We carry the only line of Fire Proof Safes that are for sale in the State.

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 dle.” ———i #, , A Rreoril In niooi!.
