COL BRYAN RELIEVES HIS FRI-
ENDS
Col Bryan'^ emphatic declaration
that under rio conceivable circum-
stances. would 1 e •biuk of being a
> undidate for the democratic no-
mination for president this year
^ ^ nhould be a relief u> those who have
been haunted by the Bryan f >urth-
n Hiiiuation b'igey Most of those who
• *
have admired Col. Bryan have felt
sure all along that he would not be
•
a i a adulate again While they are
still loyal to the great Nebraskan
and Mill admire his many command-
ing qualities of brain and heart yet
the great majority doubt lens have
felt chat *t would be suicidal for
him to Meek rgain to lead the party.
They have realised that democracy
could not afford to ctrry the hatul-
I* cp of the thrice defeatel nominee
when the race this year lodes so
promising for the party. It I* not
that Col Bryan’s democraette fri-
ends love him less but perhaps that
they love their parry inure.
Tlie war against tipping has been
begun by the organized commercial
travelers ..II over the Union. The
dug els may toon hav*» to pay their
• waiters enought to make the work
worth while without depending upon
tile charl*/ of the public.

Twa* the night Lefore Xet Year
And John Henry said.
Ah he tlinth'cd his clothe* off.
And tumbled in bed:
‘Tm all through with whiskey.
I m all through with gum.
J m all through with Brooking.
1 am all through with rum.
I’m all through with gambling.
I'm all through with pool
l m all through with billiards;
I've made a new rule —
I propone to tie healthy
1 propose to be wise.
I propone to tie wealthy.
At seven I'll rise;
I propose to tie faithrul.
1 propose to be true;
I propose to love wife
As 1 used to do."

Alas for John Henry!
Nett morning in bed
He turned not o finger.
Because he was dead.
