Uryun, which Iihh never liecn jtuhlitthca. Only a few ncrmins know tho story. Ono of this nuiiihur io a TojHjka nun who rcliitcB it. At tho mhiiio time that Ming liaird wan a tii(li!iit in tho jHcbonvillo Female ('ollcc, at Jacknoiiville, III., yoiiiiK Iiryan whh attending tho lliirmiB Uolli'o at tliotiuno piaco. After a certain hour in tho after noon tho young ladies of tho colle'o were tret) to promenade ahoiit tho college Kroniidn, and whilo enjoying thiH recreation took the opmirtunity to "llirt" with tho hoya from the I llinoin College, who were invariably on hand. It won during tho promenades that Mina liaird attracted tho atteu- tion of voniiL' lirvan and a flirtation wan begun. This led to an acquaint ance, and a ineeling was anangcil at tho homo of a relative of tho voimir ladv's in tlio surbiirhs of jHckKoiivillo. The lirt meeting wan a I'oreruniier of a Horiea of weekly vinita by both parties to tho Ramo plaeo. I!ut tho enjoyment of the young couplo vviw not alloiVed to roceed without interruption. The matter came to tho cars of tho president of tho female college and he at onco called Mine Baird t him and iuee tioned her concerning it. She ac knowledged that iu had been in tho habit of meeting young Bryan and ae such conduct was distinctly against tho rules of tlio college, her sentence was expulsion. Sbo was ordered to be in readiness to leave tho college at a certain ditto. Tho news of Miss liaird's ex pulsion reached Iiryan tho mine day, and, without waiting to map out any plans of procedure, ho hastened to the president's ollice. Voting Iiryan was oven then the priz. orator of the Illinois College, and he started in to convince the president that he had taken tho wrmig course and thst the expulsion, was unmerited. A lew days prior to this event Bryan had written the parents of Miss Jiiiird, asking their consent to visit tho young lady. Althongh he had not received a reply, ho pre sumed on an atlirmativo answer, and told tho president that ho had tho conseiU of the young lady's parents, and that his intentions weieciitirely honorable. Ho also presumed upon tho effect ions of the young lady, and stated that their formal engagement was only a matter of a tew weeks. At tho end ot an hour yong Bry an had the president of the college looking at the matter in an entirely different light. Not only was tho sentence of the expulsion repealed, but Bryan obtained consent to visit Miss Bui rd at tho collego weekly. Although it was not until alter the young couple had left their re spective colleges that their engage ment was announced, it was while at school that they became fast friends. Both giaduated at the same time, and a few years later they were married. An Illusion. The political pathway is filled with snares and pitfalls. Many gooj, honest, conscientious voters know not which way to turn to avoid embarrassment. ('alls are being issued to tho sev eral States for convention to send delegates to tho Indianapolis con vention, September 2nd, the object being to nominate a sound-money Democratic national ticket. This action would bring about several rallies complicated possibili ties. In the first place, it may de tract more from Democratic strength than IJepnbfican, in which case making Republican victory more certain. This course means sound money at Jtho expanse of Democratic virtues, and would be equivalent to voting for McKinley except that it might ease the con sciences of certain gold adherents. If the new party's strength le mostly drawn from what would otherwise llow to McKinley, it will stili be far from victory and will have gained nothing but the con sciousness of havir.'j; stayed by its be liefs even in the face of defeat and in cither case the new party will but add to silver's chances of suc cess. It is impossible that the move will but defeat the end it has in view. If it weakens sound money forces it is equivalent to strengthening the silver element. Concord Standard.

Why Men Fail., Tho New York AVorld some time ago invited confessions from those who felt, themselves to have made a failnro in life, and as will readily be supposed, there was no lack of responses. Most of tho writers lay tho blame of their poor success upon themselves, though some ascribo it to circumstances. One man, at least, rcharges his failuro to his wife, but with no great show of justice, as is clear, oven from his own statement. In any case, he should have changed his plea or held his tonguo. Ono man was ruined by gambling which will i ii ri any man, no matter how rich ho may iot and another makes a somewhat similar coiifcHsiim when he savs that he caino to nothing through trying to get rich too sudd drily. One man lays his poor success to want of con centration and perseverence, but signs himself, "Try, try again;" and ono has "dabbled in too many things," made- himself master of nothing, and consequently, as ho says, has to "tako tho bottom place everywhere. Still another man, a typo ol a large class, tell through strong drink. He heads his sad story with a motto from Kmcrsnn, "Tho dico oI'Gh1 are always loaded, and thus con tinues: I fell from an estato of influence, usefulness and easo to a condition tif drunken pauperism because I lacked sclt-coutroi, pride, ambition, discipline. I possessed some of the minor virtues, - industry, integrity, honesty, chastity, but these prov ed an inadequate bulwark against the evils of social drinking. Beginning business life at twenty, with a fair education and a good knowledge ot stenography, at thirty was in charge ot a newspaper and was an otlieial court stenographer, blessed with a loving wife and chil- Ircn and a peaceful home, and in tho enjoyment f an income of about five thousand dollars. Kn- crgciic, skillful, apt, I whs success ful in my olhcial and private voca tioiis; generous, liberal, unselfish and open-hearted, I had many fi lends and a wide acquaintance. 1 drank moderatelvvioincd in an occasional game of poker with friends, laid an occasional wager on an election, a ball-game or a horse race, never to the material deple tion of my purse, and was neither a crambler nor a rake. Twenty years since, companionable drinking at open bars was moro respectable than it is now, ami Vicing in daily companionship with lawyers, county officials, juiymen, witnessce and politicians who indulged in a social glass, I soon Itecamo a regular drinker. As a consequence of over indul gence, my health began to fail, and as custom t'rew into habit, 1 felt the need of stimulants when my work was prolonged or perplexing. well remember tho shock to my sell respect w hen 1 first took a drink alone, but I never stopped to "breathe and exercise tho soul by assuming the penalties of absti nence. Finally nervous prostration com pelled me to resign my official po sition and to soil my badly encum bered business, and soon I was a wreck, financially, physically and mentally; and one morning found mo at tho mirror gazing at my hag gard features, and wondering if I ad in reality gone mad: Is it possible that my story will cause any young drinking mm to top in las downward way? I, too, was sure that I could never sink to such depths, and I pitied the wretched ones below me. But here I am, and there are countbes thous ands d miing my way. And they forget that tho dice are loadod. Youth's Companion. Harrison's Law Partner Out For Bryan. Hon. F'erdinand Winter, of In dianapolis, a former law partner of ex-President Harrison, announces that he cannot indorse the single gold standard, and has made up his inind to cast his vote for Brytu and Sewall in tbe coming election. "There is something," said he the other day, "in this free coinage up rising. I had no idea of the interest that people are taking in the matter until 1 stepped into a tookstore several days ago and asked for some thing on the silver question. I was told that it was almost impossible to supply the demand for literature of this kind. In my opinion the pres cut campaigu will be unique in the obliteration of party lines. The agitation of the money question has made people think as they have never thought before in any political campaign. The trouble with the present administration is that it has beeti too closely identified with the financial interests of New Yoik. The people of that section do not seem to realize that a great move ment can possibly emanate either from the West or the South." Save Your Money.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST RETAIL MEfl CHANT TELLS OF GOOD RESULTS. Frank II. Cooper, of tho big firm of Siege!, Cooper k Co.,ot Chicago and New York, tho bit'gest retail firm in tlio world, has just returned from Kurope. Said Mr. Cooper : "Wo can mako everything over here that is mudo abroad, but with Mr. McKinley as President our currency- may becomo oven moro contracted than it is to-day, as a ung'o standard, if adopted, would work ruin to this country and make timtM Iiardcr than lliey are now. "I can't see anything but good to result from the free coinage of'silver. Trtie it will benefit tho mine owners; it will also benefit the miners and benefit the West. It will give tho fanner money : it will make better prices for farm products ; it will mako tho farmer a buyer in our markets. "Times can bo no worse than they aie at present. Our currency is not expansive enough for tho demand of tho people. Franco has $40 per capita of money in circulation, and its people are prosperous and happy. Wo have but $20 per capita. c need moro money and frco eilvef coiniige will put an end to business stagnation. "Our factories aro closed and our artisnns and mechanic? are out of work. Moro money will make higher prices, better demand for goods and a revival prosperity. "Goods and produce are too cheap, liccausc people have no money to buy them. Tho depreciation in prices on some lines of goods has been more than T0 per cent in tho past six months. Can merchants and manufacturers stand this ? "With free silver tho price of wheat and com would enhance in value at once. Dollar wheat for tho f. timer mikes him look at his clothes. When they are frayed he buys new. He refurnishes his house, if it is needed, and so helps to start tho furniture factories again. It is so in all lines. Ihe more money, the greater the demand lor goods. "A single gold standard would brng prices still lower and more failuu'8 and mro disaster for the people. Wo ure partially upon a bi-mc'alhc basis now and that is in a measure our salvation. "Contract our currency to $15 or $12 er capita and the result would Ihj such as no one could figure. Talking of free silver, our mints could not turn out over $00,000,000 per year less than $1 to every in habitant. Would that llood the couniry? It would restore prices, confidence, and resuscitate business. That. 1 think, is about what free silver would do for us. We want to take care 6f ourselves first ; Euro pean countries are able to tako care of themselves.'' A New Case. Several days ago a young man in New York brought 6uit against his former sweetheart to recover a dia mond ring of tho value of $150, which ho had given her as a pledge of his aflectioa. Oi.o of the allegations specified in his bill of complaint is that his passion has long since died out and that, in consequence of this fact, the ring should bo returned to him. In this contention the young masi is sustained by tho Ivew York World. That paper cites the rule of etiquetto which prescribes that when two young jmople have de cided to play quits in a love ailair they should mutually return all pres ents except those of a perishable kind, such as candy, bouquets and kisse. The answer which the young lady make to the allegation is even moro amusing tmrhape than tho allega tion itself. She claims that the ring was not simply a pledge of her ex lover's devotion but a partial pay ment for the affection which she gave him and tho exclusive privi leges which went along with it. Sfie further urtres that tho court ship i involved such exixmses as coul and g ts, the wear and tear of furni ture, extra dresses and bonnets, and the time which might have bcou 6ei)t in doing the family sewing and housework. In view ot these considerations the young lady claims that the value of the ring is merely a dmp in tho bucket. As amusing as it may seem the cise is now pcudiug in the courts of New York.

The water that bullets it troin pli.ee to place sustains its form; while the rays of the life-giving sun thr.iw bght upon the scene. Yet, in but a little while, the water permeates the log in every part it links to the dark abyss beneath.

Weeping arrests attention and leads to inquiry as to tho causo. Mary stands weeping at tho sepul chre of Jesus and with eyes almost blinded with tears she stoops low and looks into it She sees not his body, but two angels who seeing her tears say unto her : ' "Woman, why wocpest thou 1" Sho answered, "Be cause they have taken awsy my Ird ami I know not where they have laid him." The angels reply, "Ho is not here ; for He is risen as Ho said." As sho just then turned away Jesus stood by her but she did not know who he was, as the sup posed him to bo tho gardener whoso business it was tocultivateand dress, or kcop tho garden in good order. Mary was still shod drug tars and Jesus said to her, "Woman, why wocpest thou i Still thinking ham to bo tho gardeucr sho replied : "Sir, if thou uflst borne him hence tell me where thou hast laid him and I will take him away." W ill you inJocd, timid, fragilo woman, yourself carry the body of a dead man f Yes indeed she would. In tho intensity of her love what will a good woman not undertake that is right for the one she ardently loves f Like Joseph at the last interview with his brethren just before he made himself known to them, so Jesus could restrain himself no longer and He said, not woman as a moment ago, but "Marv." Through her mind flashed the idea ot famili arity about that voice and tho un expressed exclamatory thought, ho! it is tho voice of my beloved, and she iustantly said Raboni (Master.) Mary ! Raboni ! O, lor the skill of one of the masters of old, with the painter's brush, to put upon canva this 6ceno at tho moment ot Mary's recognition of her dearest IrJ and Saviour. O ! what a blessed sacred moment to her was such an unspeak ably happy and loving recognition. J. h I KliSSLV. Tortured by Drops of Water. One of the Chinese modes of pun ishment, especially when a confes sion is wanted from a criminal, is to plaeo him where a drop of water will fall upon one certain spot in his shaven crown for hours, or days, if necessary. The torture this in flicts is proved by an experience of Sandow, the strong man. When he was in Vienna a few years ago a school teacher hot him that he would not be able to lot a half-litre of wa ter drop upon his hand until the measure was exhausted. A half litre is only a little more than a )icU Sandow laughed at the very idea of his not being able to do this.
