"Slightly Retrospective." It was in 1896 that Colonel Bryan first came before the public as a presidential candidate. He was the joint nominee of the Democratic and People's parties and was opposed by William McKinley. In the election which followed. Colonel Bryan polled 6,502,995 votes against 7,104,779 for McKinley. Colonel Bryan tried it again in 1900, as the joint nominee of the Democrats and Populists. In that election McKinley's vote was increased by 103.150, while Bryan's vote fell off 144,862. Colonel Bryan's third and last effort for the presidency was in 1908, when he was a strictly Democratic nominee, and when his vote came within 13,891 of reaching the first vote cast for him; but. at the same time. Taft polled a popular vote against him of 7,678,908. His electoral vote that year was 162 against 321 for Taft. Much has been said of Wilson being a "minority president," but his popular vote over Roosevelt was half the entire vote cast for Tilden in 1876, and a little less than half that castj for Cleveland in 1884. His electoral vote was 336 over Taft and Roosevelt combined. Colonel's Bryan's admirers have always claimed that he, was the victim of bad faith in the' Baltimore convention and that he 1 was cheated out of the nomination. The election of Woodrow Wilson and the manner in which he subsequently took care of Bryan acted as healing, balm for these wounds. The tremen dous problems of unanticipated development which arose to confront the white house has inclined many people to the belief that it was ;the 'hand of providence and not the hand of a traitor that guided the destinies of the Baltimore convention and through it the destiny of nations. However that may be, there are many who will subscribe to the belief that i it was providence ithat provided a man who made it impossible for the affairs of the country to be in the hands f an American war lord during the troublous times that were then forming and since precipitated upon it.?Charlotte Observer. ? SLAYS OFFICER, FATHER AXI) ST Terrible Tragedy of New York Lad Attributed to lbiiik. Jamestown, N. Y., June 18.?Fred Shaver today shot and killed his father, his stepmother and a policeman, and himself was killed by other policemen. The weapons used were rifles, and Shaver's act is attributed to drink and a quarrel with his father. The latter, Hudson Shaver, 67 years old and well to do, was married , June 7 to Ruth Campbell, 37. The son today went to his father's apartments, where, after a dispute. | the older man fled to the hall. There he fell dead from a rifle ball. The cound of the shot attracted Policeman Kendall, who ran up the stairway. Young Shaver shot the policeman in the chest and hip and these wounds proved fatal an hour later. The slayer then barricaded himself in the apartment and the slaying of his stepmother probably occurred soon after that. Shaver frequently appeared at awindow, defying policemen who had surrounded the building. Occasionally he drank from a bottle of whiskey. Finally, he threw out a note, addressed to a local paper, reading: "This is a proposition that I have contemplated ever since I have been drinking. Take good care of the chief of police and his officials. 1 tried to spare my father, but he grappled with me, and udder the impulse of the moment, 1 got him. too. Good bye." A deputy sheriff called to him to . surrender, but Shaver refused. Shortly afterward he threatened to fire into the crowd of spectators, j The next time Shaver appeared in j the window several policemen across the street fired and he fell back to the floor. The officers broke open the door and found him dead. Near the j window lay the body of his stepmother. The officers did not know until they entered the room that Mrs. Hudson Shaver had been killed. I'IiSA MAJOR. I Interesting Indian Legend of the Great Hear. Ursa .Major, the Great Bear, as the constellation has been known in wide- 01 ly separated parts of the world, has ai many interesting stories connected %N with it. writes Latimer J. Wilson, in T Southern Woman's .Magazine. One recently brought to light is the Indian legend of the Bear and the hunters. As pictured by the red men. '* the bowl of the Dipper is the Bear n* and the stars in the sandle are some of the hunters in pursuit. In the ca spring the bear comes out of the den ai in the hills and the chase begins. All ai summer it continues until at last in ra the autumn the bear is wounded and falls so close to the earth that its body drags along the horizon, tinting the leaves with its blood soon after sunset. Throughout the early ra hours of the winter evenings the dead m bear is seen beneath the pole by the *s imaginative red men of the north. America's True Greatness. Iy Americans are the greatest philan- ^ thropists in history. During the year tj. Europe has been deluged by a torna- c? do of blood, but America has been cj flooded with gifts of gold. Europe, p] staggering beneath its burden of hate, p] has fallen down on the stairway of progress; but America with a passion h( for human service has made bright her way by her lavish gifts of wealth and love. Wealthy Americans gave away during 1914 educational and charitable gl institutions $315,000,000?nearly al- gt most twice the amount given in 1913. Eighteen different Americans bequeathed sums ranging from one mil- ^ lion to sixteen million dollars. While aj Europe's surplus wealth has been devoted to training and equipping men j. to slaughter efficiency, America's mil- p( lions have been devoted to feeding ^ the poor, clothing the naked, healing the sick and enlightening the minds ' of men. and the largest, but one. of n< these gifts was bequeathed anony mously. This "aged millionaire asa- ,g ed no other pleasure than the joy ol ? giving. Emerson says, "A great man j. is always willing to be little." John D. Rockefeller gave a total of 15,802,908. His largest bequests p were $3,500,000 to the Rockefeller institute for medical research and ^ $1,019,908 to the University of Chi- w cago. Andrew Carnegie gave $2,000.000 to international peace pro- T poganda. Edwin Ginn, the Boston .. d i publisher, bequeathed another million for the s'.me work. Francis A. . ' in Ogden. a Texan, bequeathed his on- . tire estate, valued at several millions, to the education of the children in rural communities. Others bequeathed their millions to building hospitals and improving the condition of the ^ poor. A grand total of more than ^ $75,000,000 was left to the colleges. King-ridden, hate-defied Europe is reaping the chaos and agony of war; but money-making service-aspiring America is achieving true granducr. Carlyle was right: "Oh. it is great PC and there is no other greatness?to make one nook of God's creation more fruitful, better, more worthy of ^ st God: to make some human heart a w little wiser, manlier, happier?more 61 blessed, less accursed."?Leslie's. tr When He Ducked. h< p< The operation was successful, and 0f Bismarck Jones was carried out of ec the squambalic ward into the recu- b< perating room, in which the sun shone cheerfully on two-edged saws, bt automatic bone hammers, liver drills k< and other decorations. 01 The recuperating room was rather to crowded, so Bismarck Jones was plac- a ed in a bed with six other men.

Instead of being called "Tomy" or "Kitty" they are usually adressed gruffly by the police as "You" id "Hey You." In the Morrisannra police station iere is a beautiful white cat named eter.

Harry Rosenacker, 4ft years old. of Philadelphia, turned up yesterday at the city morgue "to see about things." Incidentally seven had a considerable shock and setback when they saw Rosenacker. Six of them had gone to the morgue on May 21 and had promptly identified the body there as Rosenacker'a. One was Thomas Garrity, proprietor of a- lodging house and lunch room near Market Space. Rosenacker called on him early to repay a loan. Garrity "knew" Rosenacker had been drowned, identified and duly buried the week before, and he backed up against the wall. "Say, you're dead." he said. "Huh?" said Rosenacker. "I come to pay you some money I owe. What's the trouble?" Garrity felt easier when he heard the other's voice. ? - r* n.. *?1 J AfViAt.

Keeper Rittmiller agreed that the mistake was an easy one. Rosenacker disappeared on May 19. The following day a body was found floating at Pier 2 by a Central district policeman. The policeman knew Rosenacker and said it was Rosenacker. He told the dead man's friends.

We hardly realize that $250,000,000 a year, or about $5,000,000 a week, is spent directly and indirectly in trying to check the ravages of the insect pests that prey on the crops. Besides this, the pests eat, according to government estimates, about $800,000,000 worth of food annually, which brings their cost up to over $1,000,000,000 a year clear lose. In every State effective war is waged on these pests. But the result is not seen in a diminished loss. Every weapon known to science is employed. But no sooner is a particular pest conquered in one part of the country than it appears in another. I " ?

Laws against the use of bird feathers on hats are part of this protection, and in many States forest areas have been established as bird refugees. Science has also attacked the problem in breeding insects to destroy other insects. The melon aphis, for example, used to cost the growers in one California valley $5,000,000 a year. The lady bug, it was found, devoured the aphis. So lady bugs were collected and kept in cold storage. About 2,000 pounds were gathered in certain canyons of the Sierras, each pound representing about 25,000 bugs. They bred prodigiously, It was found that 50.000 of them would keep twenty acres of melons free of the aphis and other plant lice. As a result, bumper crops have since been raised. So now scientists are studying the problem of bugs to eat bugs, which shall in themselves be harmless to the crops. And thus the battle ror me crops goes on yearly, and never before, perhaps, with such success or with such general application.?Popular Magazine. KILLS HIS BROTHKR-IX-LAW. Bad Feeling Causes Tragedy in Barnwell County. Barnwell, June 18.?Wade Thomas, a prosperous farmer living near Kline, in this county, was shot to death by his brother-in-law, Eddie Sanders, at the former's home about 1 o'clock yesterday.

Sanders was visiting his sister yesterday. When dinner was announced Mrs. Thomas offered to carry her husband's dinner to him in his room. This he refused, however, and asked to see Sanders. It is said rhat as the latter entered the room with his sister. Thomas snapped nis pistol at his brother-in-law several times, whereupon Sanders drew his pistol and fired five times, every shot tal-ing effect and causing instant death.
