Dktboit. Mich. Oct. 18.—Tlie rule
estatilif-licl by William J. Bryan to
a v<ml any public utterances on Sun-
(jav was broken to-night when he
jpoke briefly to a crowd of newsboys
at the nnwsboys’ hall. He did it to
oblige lbs triend and supporter Ool.
j (i. Butler, president of the News
boys Association. At Mr. Bryan’s re
nU est tlie affair was kept very quiet,
and outside of the little yende s a few
visitors only were present.
This was his speech: Boys, 1 did
no t come to make a speech to-night,
because this is the day I rest, and 1
have felt the need of h -ving a day of
rest more recently than ever before
Put 1 came because 1 nev r like to
decline an invitation to be'present at
any place where an endeavor is being
mad- to do good. ' nd I don’t know
0 f tt y worn which is better than
that work which is done for boys
We were nil boys once— and some of
us „ot so very long ago—and whe*i |
,ee hoys I am reminded of what one
ofoiir Presidents—I think it was »ar
field—said, that you could not tell
what possibilities were buttoned U'
under the vest of a boy.
hitch Torn WAGON TO A STAR.
We are not ourselves responsible
[ot the surroundings of youth. We
are born into tHs world a nd the
(urroundinhs meet ns, and to a cer
tain ex ent they affect us. But be
yond that we have much to do with
shaping nur own course. What we
amount to in this world depends
upon the ideas which we have. Some
one has said that a person who aims
at the stars will shoot higher which
limply means that those who have
the highest ideas will accomplish
most. A meeting of this kind where
they teach you -patriotism, where
they teach you regard for each other,
respect for each other’s rights, neces
sarily elevates your ideas, gives you
broader views of life, and those views
will help yon to accomplish more-
Now in this country in which we live
hoys are more blessed than in any
other country on earth, because the
hoy in this < .untry has everything
open to him. and the boy in this
country may accomplish more than
he can in any other country.
THE HOY ORATOR OK THK PLATTE.
.Vow there are times when ahn-
msu life, or many human 'iyes, will
depend upon tlie action of one per
son: there are times when the welfare
of the continuity will depsnd on one
person: there are times when the wel
fare of the nation will depend upon
one person, and when you remember
how iulluential one person maybe-
come iu tlie destinies of the nation,
how useful he may be to his fellows,
to society, you can see that if a kind
word or act should be the cause of
getting that boy started right, lead
ing him up to take advantage of his
opportunities, what results uay fol
low? I want you to remember that
no good ever comes to boys or men
from doing wrong, and that right al
ways pays. I know it is hard always
to believe, but if you take the broad
view of life and its possibilities, you
will tind that it always pays to do
what you believe is right. It is al
ways necessary that you should try
to tind out what right is, and the ed
ucation which you receive in the
schools enables you to see things, ai d
understand, and then the desirt to
do the best thing leads you to take
advantage of the opportunities tha.
are offered to you. I feel interested
in you hoys who are starting out so
young toepinke a living. Some of us,
instead <if having to depend on ou
own exertions were carried forward
by others.
A FAMILIAR MOTTO.
i am not sure that you, who begin
tins life of independence and of .nie
ces- ry activity so early havean aid-
vantuge over us who did not, but
whether you had the advantAgedr not
if you improve every opportunity that
Comes and let your motto be treat ev
ery one as you would have that per
son treat you, and to make the best
opportunity of everything that con es
within voi r reach, and to do nothing
that your conscience will condemn
you for, when you get to be old men.
you will tie able to look back and b-
grateful to Col. Butler and to those
associated with him in this effort to
give you higher ideas, and to give you
words of encouragement iu the year
of your youth; and unless I am mis
taken, the older you grow the deeper
will lie your 'ecdng of gratitude to
wards those who gave you this kindly
assistance when you were boys.
AVOID SELFISHNESS,
i want you to remember this also,
that you are not the only ones who
are henetitted by these tilings, be
cause the Creator lias so arranged the
things of this world that when we try
to help others we help ourselves.
Tho-e who have tried to help you,

And that they themselves are benefit
ed bv the operation. While they are
tiying to make your lives happier
tlwir own lives are made happier,
ll I can leave this idea with you I
think that it may he of use to you.
that the highest good that can come
•o yon is doing something foTothers,
and you w ill find among your play
mates that the boy who does most for
the hoys around hhi is the boy who is

MAJOR TOM WOODWARD'S
PERlENCE WITH THEM.
EX-
Number Turned Loose and Doing Well.
A grand Opoortunity to Stock
the Country With a
Great Game Bird.
To the Editor of The Stati:
I am frequently Interrogated on the
subject of pheasants, and finding it irk
some to reply to all singly I take this
method of doing ■#.
Three years ago I purchased of A. P.
»tuhr, Portland, Oregon, a trio-cock
and two hens—Mongolian or Chinese
pheasants at a co-t then of, $5 a piece
and expressage on the lot, $10. They
ar.ired in May, the 25th, the party
having delayed shipments in ordr to get
the eggs. In consequence of the late
shipment, 1 secured only a few eggs and
and did not raise any that year. The
next year the two hens laid 162 eggs, an
average of 81 apiece; one of them,
the younger laying 100. Prom these I
matured 30 fine birds and turned out 15
of them, which are now reported breed
ing and doing well, nests and young
11roods having been seen by responsible
farmers around. The next year I lost
all my hens from cholera caused by
feeding shells laid by chicken hens
with the disease, and secured only one
setting of eggs, from which I succeeded
in raising eight pheasants from them
this year. After distributing about 150
eggs in several counties, I have reared
and set free 42, which are daily seen in
the pea fields around, and if allowed to
breed next year with those heretofore
freed will supply this section bountiful
ly in a few years.
The Mongolian pheasant is the finest
game bird ou the continent, gorgeous
to look at, finer in flavor than the quail,
very hardy and stands well to the dog
It was sent from China about 1882 to the
Portland gun and rod club by the Unit
ed States counsel to Shanghai, and has
overrun the States of Oregon and
Washington. With clubs in each coun
ty to repeat the experiment made here,
and with good game laws such as will
no doubt be passed by the next legisla
ture, it would be but a few years until
the State would swarm with this grand
est of bin’s. They are smaller than the
English mixture, but I think are mere
hardy and certainly more prolific. The
cocks weigh three pounds and the hens
two pounds, the common quail weighs
barely half a pound. They are not
more difficult to rear than young tur
keys and command a good price if
raised for profit.

A RAINSTORM REPRODUCED.
An Artificial Shower can be had in a
Bottle.
M. Errers, professor at the University
of Brussels, has succeded, and by a very
simple process, in making artificial rain,
says the New York Herald. All that he
uses is a bottle, of Bohemian glass,
which is covered with an ordinary por
celain saucer and is half filled with al
cohol of 98 degrees strength. He heats
this bottle in a bath of water until the
alcohol, the sides of the bottle and the
saucer are of an almost equal temper
ature. Then he takes it out the bath,
places it carefully on a table and ot>-
josves it closely.
He is rewarded by aa interesting
sight The vapor of the alcohol soon
fills the bottle, but the saucer cools rap
idly and the vapor, being warmer, be
comes condensed as soon as it cornea in
contact with it. The upper air in the
bottle also qnickly becomes of a lower
temperature, and real clouds soon ap
pear. These speedily become dissolved
into a multitude of tiny rain drops,
which fall thickly just aa an ordinary
shower.
The bath of water performs the func
tions of the sun, the alcohol repreaenta
the ocean, the clear space beneath the
sky, which dominates the sombre mass
of clouds, and the upper air in the bot
tle, chilled by contact with the saucer,
plays the role of the cold atmospheric
currents which bring about the condensa
lion of vapor iuto clouds.
We see, then, that the phenomenon Is
faithfully reproduced in all its details.
A still more striking result can be ob
tained by using a cold saucer in the
place of th« warm one. In that qase the
difference of the temperature will be in
creased and we can witness a regular
old-fashioned storm or hurricane. This
is indeed a tempest in a bottle.

Marvelous Results
From a letter written by Rev.
J. Gunderman, of Dimondale,
Mich., we are permitted to make
this extract: “I have no hesita
tion in recommending Dr. King’s
New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in tho
case of my wife. While I was
pastor of the Baptist Churcht a
Rives Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible parox
ysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption
and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend re
commended Dr. King’s New
Discovery; it was quick in is
work and highly satisfactoryin
results.” Trial bottles free at
