"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.

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 ^

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

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. All ru
but two of them were asleep. ni
"Welcome to our bed!" said the ec
first of these two. "By rights I sa

perfectly satisfactory, only the doc- so
tor left a couple of pairs of sheers rh

Just then the doctor who had operated
so successfully on BismarckJones
was heard out in the hallway
shouting: "Where in the mischief .

New York's police force is the own'
more than 100 cats, distributed
nong the various station houses
here they have their own police
jty to perform, says the New York
imes. This consists of riding the
auses of mice and rats.

for a playground, and that it
mighty reassuring to be able to
op off to sleep with the knowledge
tat the station house cat is faithfulpatroling.
The station house cat. policemen
isert. possesses characteristics disnctly
different from those of the
romon house cat or any other spees
of the tiger family. For exame
he is not given to nocturnal
owlings. He spends most of his
me in the station house, and when
i does go out into the night he does
it stray far. Most of these cats,
ilice lieutenants, who have studied
lem, assert, have a strong antipathy
ir an intoxicated person, and when
ich a prisoner is brought into the
ation the cats walk away in disist.
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. He is the pride of the station
juse, and was born there five years
;o when he was adopted by Lieutenit
Peter Brady, after whom he was
imed. Peter has strong likes and
islikes. His favorite resting place
the top of the station house desk,
''hen a lieutenant whom Peter diskes
is on duty nothing will induce
im to remain near the desk, but he
ill seek a far corner of the station,
eter was a great favorite with the
,te Lieutenant Frank O'Rourke.
rhen O'Rourke wanted' his pet he
ould blow a police whistle, which
ould bring Peter to the station,
here was a certain lieutenant that
isliked Peter as much as the cat
isliked him. This lieutenant went
i the back room of the station -one
ght for a few minutes, leaving Peter
i charge of the place. When the
eutenant returned he found that the
ik had been spilled all over the
iges of the blotter. The captain
anted to know how it happened, and
le lieutenant blamed it on Peter.

days ago. Harry Rosenacker, 4ft years
old. of Philadelphia, turned up yesterday
at the city morgue "to see

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

when they saw Rosenacker, who had
been taken there by two others to
"prove" to the morgue keeper that
the dead map and Rosenacker were

that the mistake was an easy one.
Rosenacker disappeared on May

Bugs to Fat Bugs.
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.

years on insect-destroying birds, and
these are being protected in all kinds
of ways. 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.

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 surrendered
to the authorities.
From the best information obtainable
there had been ill-feeling existing
between the two men for some
time. Thomas's wife is a sister of
Sanders. 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. The coroner's jury brought
in a verdict in accordance with the
above.
