Uncle Wali* / v^QasonM E ^Ey*G A SUNBEAM (4 f?7E HEAR and road a great deal W about ^optimism." said the stranger, "aod we go around tolling our friends not to worry. The advice la good enough, but wo don't pause to reflect that optimism is a mental at_ titude that can be reached only by A little book ontitied. 'How to Be a T..HiL | Sunbeam,' which answers the oues er is indorsed by all the statesmen and prelates In the country," exclaimed Mrs. Curfew. ] MI don't want to be a sunbeam, expe- , * rience having taught me that I can get i, along better and have less trouble and 11 tribulation, when I look as much like . a meatax as possible. "Last evening before I went to bed I was reading a book called 'Sunshine Susan.' It was about a woman who just made up her mind to be happy ' no matter what happened. Then her 1 husband was brought home with a broken leg, and the two children had a number of measles simultaneously, I and the house burned down, and the 1 | bank In which she had deposited her I | savings closed Its doors, and In spite : ( 9 of everything she went around singing j K and dancing. | "If I had thought It over I might j B hove realized that It was too good to :. flfc be true. No human woman could be ' 3K gay and happy In the midst of so many calamities. But I was In a ' gsfpi sentimental mood, and when I turned | ^ IB out the light and went to bed I thought j1 H that I ought to be ashamed of myself ': H for not being like Sunshine Susan, and j ] |B I made up my mind I would turn over < gK a new leaf first thing In the morn* "So I came downstairs smiling, and j I was slnrin? all the time T was tret- ! < wf ting breakfast, and when Mr. Curfew ! y| came down he Bald St warmed up his 9 whole being to see me In such a cheer- ' B ful frame of mind. It reminded him i of him of the time when I was sweet 1 H seventeen, and as pretty as a red * 9 wagon. Then he gradually drifted Into 1 W a story to the efTect that he had a J > great opportunity to make the finest ' 1 horse trade of his career. All he need- \ ed was $7 in cash to dose the trans- ', action, and he would make at least | iwby it ; "SeTnew I had $7 put away In the ? dock jo buy myself some clothes I Seed the worst way. I had saved that 1 money, a nickel and a dime at a time, and was looking forward to the time ' wjhen I would have enough to go shopIP $3? and buy myself an outfit good < enough for the queen of Sheba^ . : , Mr. .Curfew hqfl beep trying t<? bpP i row"n:; savings 7or^a long time" offetlng to give menlTnofe as security^ and ] before I read that Sunshine Susan book , T nlwnvs rpfriRtvl him. and nearlv snapped Ms bead off doing it. But that 1 > morning I was anxious t(Tmaae every- ' body^ happy, so I handed him the money, and he went and made his * Horse trade and brought home an old 1 1 crowbalt that has been sick ever since, 1 and he spends all hfc time out at the 1 1 barn, feeding It pills and powders, ( and I can't get him to do any of the ] [ chores around the place. { " "The same qoroln? m?L Turpentln# , heard me singing In the back yard, ^ Land she thought it would be a good , time to borrow my patent electylc 1 'washing machine, and came over for (that purpose* She had asked for It a ! dozen timet before, but 1 always told her to go ta Being fall of sunshine on that occasion, however, I told her < Bhe could have It and welcome, and rve never been able to use It el nee. The man who sold It to me says It . will cost $6 for repairs, so you see what Sunshine Susan did to me. "No, mister, I don't want any recipe for being a sunbeam, and you can take your book along to Mrs. Turwllllger. In the yellow bouse across the street She's the champion middle weight pessimist of this neighborhood." Explained. "Do you see the man yonder?

Miami, Feb. 10.?"If the Democratic party is going to Ik- a force in this country it must have members an.! the voters will not be willing to act through the Democratic party unless they can control it," said William Jenrings Bryan at his winter home here, in discussing the an-.ounceme.it in Xew York by former Judge R. C. F;oper, of N'tbivska. that he (I.ryar) and his brother. Charles Bryan, planned a reoragizaticn of the Democratic party. Mr. Brvon <ai?l that le had nor I invon of t'.e setl;ng of a definite !:ite f< r the launching of the movement, v.ar.ounced by Judge Roper. "I am in constant association with my brother, who is in charge of my faper," said Mr Bryan.

"I do not expect much of any surface movements; that is, movements imong the party officials. Progress *ill come through activity among the voters and they cannot act until they lave a chance to select committeemen. Prior to this they can organize imong themselves, discuss questions, pick out spokesmen and get ready for iffective action when the time for the selection of the commiteemen comes, rhis, I think, they should do. And this s what I hope to contribute to it through my paper. "If the proposed meetings of the sub-committees or the full committee lave no higher purpose than the boostng of some particular aspirant for ofice, they will do little. If, however, the membership of the committee vant to outline a constructive platform and call upon the rank and file 'or an expression of opinion, much may be accomplished." No Special Interests. "Past differences," he continued, 'ought to be forgotten among those vho agree as to future action, but there can be so harmony in the party organization as long as the 'wets' or iVall street or any other special interest attempts to use the party organisation to keep the party from doing its duty ty the public. "Our party must deserve to win to lave any chance of success and it will - - A - i.1. . lot deserve to win until it puts me :ause of the people above the ambition )f any individual. "The people are intensely in earnest and the committee can best serve the party, not by burning incense before any particular idol, but by getting down to work for the protection if the public against expoiters. We have a case in point. Senator Calder. if New York stated the other day that the coal men had plundered the public to the extent of a billion and one half dollars per year. "That sum is greater than all the stealing done by all the men now :onfined in the penitentiaries of the I'nited States?and nothing is being done to imprison the expoiters or to protect the public from them. "It makes comparatively little difference who is chairman of the national committee, but it makes a tremendous difference whether the committee is interested in personal ambitions or the welfare of the masses."
