Shirtless Content.
Charles Frohman, who Is rapidly establishing
a "world theatre"?a theatre
where the world's first playwrights
and performers work on American
lines under his direction?talked the
other day about content.
"I don't work for money," he said.
"The hardest workers never work for
money. When did money bring content?
"You know the story of the satrap
and the Persian physician? A certain
young and profligate satrap, exhausted
alike In body and in mind, sent for a
famous Persian physician and said:
" *1 have squandered my youth In
riotous living. My frame Is enfeebled
like an old man's and my mind is dls
ordered with remorse ana norror. un
you help me?'
"The Persian physician, looking
gravely at the pale satrap, answered:
" 'You have but one hope. Go forth
and find, If there be such, a perfectly
contented man. Persuade this man to
exchange shirts with you, and you will
straightway be strong and happy
again.'
"The satrap set out upon his search.
He traveled many months in vain.
But at last he heard of a cobbler who
was said to be absolutely contented.
"The satrap came at last to the cobbler's
door. The house was but a hovel,
and on a board before it the cobbler
lay asleep. Awaking him, the
satrap asked if It were true that he
was quite contented, and the cobbler,
with a laugh, declared that it was.
" 'Then,' said the satrap, 'I have a
boon to ask at your hands. It is that
you will exchange shirts with me. For
thus, a wise physician has said, I may
become strong and contented also.'
"But the cobbler shook his head.
" 'Most cheerfully would I grant your
request, young man,' he began, 'but'?
" 'Nay, nay, deny me not," the satrap
cried. *1 will pay you any sum that
you may name.
" 'I seek not your gold, youth,' said
the cobbler 'but?but'?
"'But what?'
" 'The truth is, I have no shirt.'"?

His Revenge.?The discourtesy of
some postofflce lady clerks in London
is proverbial. Occasionally, however,
the fair creature receives a Roland for
an Oliver.
An irascible stockbroker entered a
certain city office exactly at the hour
of closing and approaching the money
order desk, politely requested the
presiding genius to issue him an order
for 48 shillings.
"Too late," said the damsel curtly,
pointing with an ink stained finger to
the clock. The indignant broker stormed,
raved and finally challenged the
eorrpctness of the timepiece. The im
perturbable lady smiled.
The following afternoon two minutes
before the closing hour the merchant
again presented himself and calmly
asked:
"Am I too late?"
"Only just in time," replied the damsel
crossly.
"Thank you. Now, miss, I must
trouble you to Issue me forty-eight orders
for 1 shilling each."
"F-f-forty-eight!" gasped the horror
stricken woman. Her tea had Just arrived
and was standing on a table behind
the screen. "Surely you are joking?"
"Madam," said the stockbroker, raising
his hat politely, "courtesy begets
courtesy."?London Tit-Bits.
An Illustration of Form.?James
Ten Eyck, great oarsman and great
coach, is teaching the sons of E. H.
Harrlman to row. He hopes that they
will do in rowing what Jay Gould has
done in court tennis.
Mr. Ten Eyck. discussing rowing one
day in Syracuse, said success depended
on form. He explained what he meant
by form. Then, by way of illustration,
he added:
"Everything, everything, goes by
form. Thus, out west in the old day,
it was the essence of form to be informal.
My father used to tell about
a squire who would marry the young
couple that came to him in such form
as this:
" 'Bill, do ye take this gal whose hand
ye're a-sc,ueezin' to be yer lawful wife,
in flush times an' skimp?'
" 'I guess that's about the size of it,
squire.'
" 'Mame, do you take this cuss ye've
j'ined fists with to be yer pard thru
thick an' thin?'
" 'Ye're right fer once, old man.'
" 'All right, then. Kiss in court, an'
I reckon ye're married about as tight
as the law can jine ye. I guess four
bits'll do. Bill if I don't have to kiss the
bride. If I do. it's six bits extry.'"?
Syracuse Herald.
A Change of Name.?The Youth's
companion tells the following story of
a rechristened football team:
"Father," said Tommy Bardell, of the
William Henry Harrison grammar
school, "you want to come next Saturday
afternoon and see us play a game
with the Oliver Wendell Holmes football
team. We're going to do 'em up."
"Do you belong to a football team?"
asked his father. "It is news to me."
"Do I?" exclaimed Tommy proudly.
"Well, I reckon! I'm the quarter-bacK
of the Tornadoes."
"The Tornadoes? Who are they?" #
"That's the name of our school
team."
"H'mp! And you are going to play
a game next Saturday, are you? Well,
I'll go and see it."
The game took place according to announcement,
and the Tornadoes were
beaten by a score of 26 to 0.
"Tommy." said his father, overtaking
him while he was on his way home,
"what did you tell me was the name of
your team?"
'The Tornadoes." answered the boy,
"but we're going to change it to something
else. We ain't even a fog!"

August rainfall was 14

weeks late. The wet weather of August

MICROBE-HUNTING MANIA.
Scientists Are Starting Scares That |
Are Without Reason.
The hunting of the shark cannot be
compared to the hyglenist's mad and
dashing pursuit of streptobacterla, says
the Chicago Post. It is almost impossible
to keep pace with the professor in
search of a microbe. He is tireless, and
of ingenuity all compact, but two of
his recent ambitious experiments have
turned out disappointingly. One is the
examination of the telephone mouthpiece
for tubercle bacilli, and the other
the inoculation of guinea pigs with
the nectar distilled from dirty paper
money, in the attempt to find the bacillus
diphtheria or tubercle bacillus.
It was in England that the telephone
scare was raised. The conclusion
reached by the investigation was that
"to keep a telephone clean must, from
esthetic as well as sanitary reasons, be
regarded as desirable." But there was
no alarmist testimony. A writer in the
Times was in fact, callous enough to
say that 'the inhalation of the bacilli
of tuberculosis from the transmitter of
the telephone under ordinary conditions
does not lead to illness."
The investigation of soiled paper
money was conducted by Warren H.
Hilditch, of Yale university. He reports
that the number of bacteria present
on the twenty-one dirty bills he
collected ranged from 14,000 up to 586,000,
with an average of the 21 of 142,I
000. But all the guinea pigs Inoculated
with the sediment obtained from the
bills showed very slight reaction, and
were none of them even temporarily ill.
Whether or not there is some antiseptic
action in the ink used for printing
the bills, "money constitutes an
important factor in the transmission of
disease." This does not apply merely
to that large class which lovingly holds
on to whatever bills it can obtain, but
also to the clerks and tellers who are
dedicated to Tantalus and spend their
lives fingering their employers' money.
The microbe is no parasite on the
banknote species?it is too rich for his
blood.
Mr. Hilditch assures us that if we
learn to keep our fingers away from
our mouths, both while and after
counting money, all will be well. But
he advocates a more frequent redemption
of soiled and worn bills?and so
would most people if their creditors
did not save them the necessity.
The Farmers and the Laws.?If
the farmers had had their share in the
making of the laws in the last half
century there would be a more equitable
economic system in this country.
The tariff question would have been
solved long ago, for the farmers, being
both producers and consumers, have a
very good point of view?or should
have?on the subject. If they had a
controlling vote in the making of the
tariff it would be impossible for the
makers of agricultural implements, for
example, to exact of them from 25 to
50 per- cent more for implements than
these same manufacturers receive in
foreign countries. It would be impos
sible for a packing trust to force down
the prices of cattle and hogs, and at
the same time force up the prices of
meats. And what may be said of the
farmers may be said of other producing
and consuming classes. They all
need better representation in congress.
The lawyers, who have acquired the
habit of attorneyship by virtue of their
profession, have had too much to do
with the establishment of economic
policies in this country, many of which
have been adopted with especial.reference
to limited but potential interests,
at the expense of the public at large.?

COSTLY BOLL WEEVIL.
Damages Stated to Reach the Total of
$100,000,000 Yearly.
The boll weevil costs the United
States something like $100,000,000 annually.
His battlefield extends over a
third of the southern cotton lands, and
the finest minds of the department of
agriculture have not yet discovered a
way of extinguishing him wholesale.
But they haven't given up the fight, as
a source of experimental stations in
the south will testify. Of the boll weevil,
a writer in Van Norden Magazine
says: "When nature designed the weevil
she fitted hint out with everything
needed for his line of industry, even
to a set of cutting and boring tools
which would delight the machinist.
His body is armor-plated like a warship.
encased with a hard, tough shell
which usually prevents poison from
harming him. His long legs not only
carry him rapidly over the ground,
when he doesn't care to stretch his
wings, but also are used to give him
a firm grip when he is at work.
"His head, however, is the mechanical
wonder. It is attached to the body
by a kind of ball-and-socket Joint, as
the engineer would say, that allows it
to turn in a half circle with ease. The
head terminates in a long snout, on the
end of which is a regular combination
tool with which he can bore and cut
at the same time. It could not be better
suited for this purpose, as the daintiest
dish to him is the contents of the
bud which forms on the cotton stalk
and the boll, which later takes its
place.. This bud, or 'square,' is filled
with soft, juicy pith, the essence of the
flower which springs from it, and
makes a cotton field in bloom such a
beautiful picture."
COTTON GAMBLING.
Methods Not Held In High Esteem by
the Texans.
"Texas will resort to its legislature
to break up the stock exchanges, especially
those which quote cotton
prices."
This was the statement of Anthony
C Buschell of Dallas, to a Washington
Herald reporter. Mr. Buschell is a. cotton
raiser and a member of the Farmers'
Union of the southwest.
"When the legislature convenes in
January we will have a bill prepared
for passage, and it will be enacted into
law. This measure will prohibit the
transmission of Texas cotton figures to
New York and vice versa. The figures
quoted on the New York Exchange are
fraudulent, mythical and misleading.
They are compiled from doctored prices
sent from Texas, and in no sense of
the word do they reflect what is going
on in the cotton producing world.
"Conservatively estimated, I believe
Texas farmers have lost $25,000,000 because
of these fictitious figures. We
content! that the New York figures,
which have a direct effect on the cotton
growers in the south, are compiled
for the sole purpose of promoting
gambling. It is on that ground that
we will stop them from being telegraphed
Into our state.
"Cotton growers are just awakening
to the fact that the New York figures
are made up of spun yarn, but the
awakening has been thorough, and this
planned legislation is the result."
Birds and Serpent.
Ed Xeal and his sister. Miss Jessie
Neal of Alma, tell a strange story and
vouch for the truth of it. They have
been spending the past month with
their father, Mr. Younger Neal, at
their old home in the country near
Alma, and one day last week they
were out driving when they saw in
the road in front of them a large
snake of the kind known as coach
whip.
Stopping his horse in order to kill
the snake, they discovered that a
pair of mocking-birds were flying at
and striking the reptile with their
beaks first from one side of the road
and then from the other. They
watched the battle, as they call it, for
something like a half hour, when the
snake entirely ceased to attempt to
avoid the angry onslaughts of the enraged
songsters.
Ed Neal got out of the buggy, and
going to the scene of conflict found
that the snake's head was almost
severed from its body. The neck just
back of the head was cut down to the
skin on its throat and when he picked
it up the head fell down limp. The
snake was dead. It measured 5J feet,
and seemingly had just swallowed a
half-grown rabbit, which was in the
stomach, undigested. ? Forest and
Stream.
Misplaced Blame.?One 'trouble
about this ' night rider" business in the
south, in which farmers have been
warned not to sell cotton at the present
prices, is that the Farmers' Union js
going to be blamed for it by some who
are not disposed to think well of that
organization. We are confident that
the Farmers' Union as a whole will
condemn lawless methods of every
kind, and we doubt if any individual
members have been or will be engaged
in the "night riding." The leaders of
the Farmers' Union are men of intelligence
and honor, and they know that
the use of such methods would alienate

APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS
Far Bryan and Kern Campaign Fund
from the Democratic National
Committee.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
Dear Sir:
There are no secrets in this Campaign.
Strictly practicing what he
preaches, Mr. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying the
election expenses.
Not a dollar is to be accepted which
requires any promise, either express or
implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL
GOVERNMENT.
Mr. Bryan will enter the White House
absolutely free from entangling alliances,
free to serve all classes of honest
citizens alike, or he will not enter
it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The campaign
of Bryan and Kern must be conducted
by the people.
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses if they want public
servants who will serve their interests.
Special interests and favored classes,
having secured "SWOLLEN FORTUNES"
by purchasing favors in the
past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED
TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand
I ready to give MILLIONS* MORE FOR
CONTINUED FAVORS. But that class
never gives a dollar unless it buys a
pledge.
Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th,
11909, "LET THE PEOPLE RULE."
This can come only if the people pay .
their own bills, and control their own
elections.
"BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS 1
BEARING GIFTS."
That policy of the favored few buying
a mortgage on the Government '
meant that tne candidate for President
knew a few people only in an entire
State.
Bryan says, "We will take the cause
of PEOPLE'S RULE home to the people
in every county."
You can serve the arand cause of i
popular government through the col- j
umns of your paper. It reaches the :
fireside of the patriot who loves his !
country for his country's GOOD; as I
distinguished from the greedy possessor
.Uinllan fnr+nnAs whn loves his coun- I
try only for his country's GOODS.
Please carry this letter in Bold Type :
at the masthead of your paper, asking i
every one who favors Government by 1
the people to pay you, at once, as many
dollars as he can spare to aid the I
Campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND I
PEOPLE'S RULE. You forward these
gifts of honpst hearts and homes every
week to the treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee, with the name
of each contributor and amounts given.
The Treasurer will forward you a certificate
like the copy enclosed for
each one, asking you to deliver these
certificates.
Once more, you should be a part of
the Great Organization bearing the
Lamp of Light to every nook ana corner
of Free America.
Our Country is for the People; its
Government must be by the People.
Sincerely,
NORMAN E. MACK, Chairman
Democratic National Committee.
