When Mr. Brv an emits an utteranoe that causes the "nnterrlfled" to throw up Its eolleo. Uve hat and howl itself hoarse, that Is the leader speaking the voice of the party. When he says aomethlug tbat brings forth a groan of disap proval, that Is Mr. Bryan, private eit izen, speaking and hasu't anything to do wttfc party policy. Great aobeme, . Isn't it!

"Beverly, of Ciraustark" Iu the next issue of this paper will appear the opening ohapter of "Beverly of Gratia tark," by George Barr Mc Cutcheon. It will be remembered that a few months einue the Mail printed in serial form the highly entertaining story "Graustark," b - MoCutobeon ThlB story of "Graustark" was pronounced by all of our renders to be the very best story ever printed in these columns. Since the last chap ter of "Graustark" was print ed in the Mail the publisher has been endeavoring to se cure "Beverly of Graustark," but not until within tbe last two weeEs haH tbe copyright on it been extended to include newspaper publications. The story of ''Beverly of Graus tark" is said by many to bo better than "Graustark," but this seems impossible "Graustark" waB good enough and if " Beverly of Graustark" is better it is truly a wonder ful piece ot fiction. "Beverly of Graustark" is to Bome extent a sequel, or more correctly speaking a com panion piecd or continuation of "Graustark". Id itthe author ha9 introduced a new heroine in "Beverly" who is quite as clever as was Princess Getive in "Graustark." Some of the principal char acters in "Graustark" play prominent parts in "Beverly of Graustark."
