BRYAN IN FIRST PLACE
Senator Simmots, of North Carol iana,
says that there are only two agencies
which can prevent the nomination of
William J. Bryan for president by the
Democrat* next year? th? grim repcar
and William J. Bryan. Senator Sim
mom la right, and he could have said,
also, were William J. Bryan a Republi
can instead of a Democrat he would be
nominated by that party? and his advo
oacr of tariff reform, government
control with probable final ownership
of railroads, trust annihilation, com
pulsory arbitartlon of disputes between
oapita. and labor end universal peace
would all be water on his wneel.
William J. Bryan and Theodore
Roosevelt are the two great leaders of
the masses in the Uuited States? the
others are followers or *econd-rater*
in thr public mind, though many of them
would rate leading positions at once
were it not for the supreme hold thrse
two have ?o the icoiginaiioa and affec
tion of the masses.
All the attempts of the old guard of
the "interests" which continues it.

party to brii g forth a Wilson, a Gray,

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before tbe
sufferer recognizes them. He&'.th is
gradually oDermintd. Backache head
uche, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urlntry troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succ.-ssion. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain ?nd safe remedy, Doan s
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 W.
Fourth St., Olympia, Wasli.sjys: "I
have co idea bow much suffering I
would bare avoided had I known the
value of Doan's Kidney Pills sooner.
For three years I htve suffered, doctor
ed and treated for a dropsical condition
of the body without ever knowing the
true source of the trouble to be in the
kidneys, until, about two months ago,
when I was induoed to try Doan's Kid
ney Pi!' s. I had swelling of the.feet
and limbs; my hands would puff up,
get tense and I could hardly close th- m.
Tne other symptoms were lost sight of
in tbe more noiiceale ones. Af.er pro
curing Uoan's Kidney Pills, I found
prompt relief from the s'art. Th9
swelling and bloating were reduced
until they entirely disappeared and a
toning up and strengthening of my
'hole system was felt. The other day
I climb.-d up a steep bill without a
pause or a Sutter of tbe heart. I was
not 6 weeks ago that I tried the sime
feat and nearly broke down in the
attempt."

? THE AUTHOR OF
"FE TTERS UNLOOSED."
6 ? o
[Original.)
A number of gentlemen were sitting
around n table In a New York club com
posed of publishers, printers and au
thors. 1 mention them In the order of
their Importance as the practical world
considers them. The publisher Is the
most Important since he requires the
most money lu his business, though thfc
printer is no; usually far behind him.
There were more of both these classes
in the club mentioned than of authors,
few of whom had money to pay the
dues.
Hut this U digression. The party
were discussing a new book that had
Just been published by a llrm. one of
the junior members of which was pres
ent, "Fetters Unloosed." It had met
with Instant success. The author's
name was noi given, the nom de plume
being Emery l'eii winkle. It was one
of those gilded pills the world? that
world which rends sensational novels
loves to swallow. It gave an excuse
for what many people desired, but re
frained from doing, and some do with
more or less resistance. It would have
bee i well enough exi-ept that Its -prin
ciples if can ied Into effect would break
up perhaps one family in every three
or live.
"Come, Stanton." said oue of the
men present to the publisher; "tell us
who Emery i\ twinkle la."
"Couldn t possibly. It would be a be
trayal of confidence." ?
"At least tell us if the author of
'Fetters Unloosed' I; man or woman."
"Couldn't do that, e.ther."
"No woman would aver have taken
that view of the subject,"- said one of
the party."
"Why not?"
"She would need to have been cor
rupted by a bad world, and my experi
ence Is that only women who wish to
be corrupte I are corrupted."
"I don't thh.k nmrU of that argu
ment," saUl another, "but It Is not
needed, l^rythlng in the book la
from a man's standpoint."
"I'll tell you what I'll do," said Stan
ton. "I'll make a pool. There are four
of you. I'll put In $5 for each of you. I
Then I'll five a supper to Sventy peo
ple, the author of 'Fetters Uuloosed' to
be among the number. You shall
throw dice for choice. The one throw
ing the highest uurnber may pick out
live persons, each man In succession
thus picking out Ave Whoever has j
Included the author In his number |
wins the pool."
"Where do yon come in?"
"X ! Oh. we'll make the number of I
guests twenty-one- This leaves out* !
lint-boxen. I'll take the one left out."
Stanton could tvoLI afford the treat,
and the others were aiurh pleased to
accept It. A few days Inter ea< b one ;
f the four received an invltatlou to a
supper party at Stanton's house to
:ke place at 11 o'clock, after the the- !
?iicru were out. They found there |
.'even men and ten women. Some of
. c men and some of the women were
known to be authors, some ambitious
" le authors and some not kuown at
nil as aspirants for literary honors,
i hey were as different from one an
? ?tber as could jKissihly be. Some were
? elf conscious, some modest, and there
were some who did not seem suill
? lently gifted In Ideas for ordinary
use', let alone writing a book. There
were two men with a sensual look
?about them, one woman who appeared
?' trifle loud and a girl of ulneteen who
lushed If any one s|>oke to her.
During the supper- the order of
boice had been decided liefore It !>e
:.'an - each of the four members of the
pool selected five of the guests. The
loud woman and one of the sensual
i '*u were taken up in the ilrst choice,
i he other sensual man and a mem! or
of the Woman's Press dob were in the
next lot. The man having third cbo'ee
picked all the rest who looked as If bv
any possibility they could write a
l?ook. The fourth man was obliged to
take n hat was left, none of whom
gave the slightest appearance of being
a winner. The girl who blushed, not
having been chosen, fell to Stauton.
Thi- party was too Incongruous to
keep I >ug together, and when It broke
up the lour pool members remained be
hind. Stanton called ou the man who
had first cbovn to name the winner
irom his uuraber. He named first the
loud woman, then four others in h ac
cession. but Stanton shook bis head at
every one. Second choice theu made
his guesses and failed. The guessing
now came to be exciting. When third
choice failed to name the author, all
were struck with wonder, and when
fourth choice failed every man ac- J
eused S .an ton of having gone back on
his agreement.
"Net at all, gentlemen* he said soft
ly. "'There still remains one person not
named."
"What! That stupid looking child not
yet fit to be out of the nursery who fell
to you? She doesn't count."
"Every one in the party counts. I
agreed that the author should be prcs
ent at the supper, and l have kept my
agreement People blame us publish
ers because we can't tell the big win
n'ng novels before the public pro
nounces on them. I gave you geutle
men all the chances, taking the last,
that none of you wanted, and I won.
The author of 'Fetters Unloosed' is
Miss Susau Brock. It's my opinion she
hasn't the slightest Idea of the accept
ed meaning of her work? Just as. one
may perpetrate a witticism without
being conscious of having said any
thing remarkable. The title to her
no\ el when she handed it In for exam
ination was not at all descriptive of
the subject matter. On the contrary,
it Indicated an Innocent intention. We
fixed the title in accordance with the
view the world would take of the book.
The a,troke of genius was ours."
