While Bryan is out of the West nailing up delegates for his support at KansaB City, a move ment has been started in Ohio which may make him a great deal of trouble. Ohio is McLean's state, nud McLean will, no doubt, try to carry it for his brother-in-law, Admiral Dewey, A ro port reached here today that a move ment is going forward under the direction of the Democratic machine, which is controlled by McLean, to throw the state against Bryan and in favor of Dewey. Tho call for the Democratic con vention to elect delegates to Kuhbhb City will not be held until late, so that all the Dewey forces possible may be brought to bear. It is declared that the rank and tile in Ohio is for Bryan, but that McLean can control the convention.

I PI. WILLIiS & eo. In this connection, the owner ot a Demo cratic paper at Columbus has come cut squarely in favor of Dewey and Allen W. Thurman, eon of the 'ate senator, and has made a speech saying that to adopt a free-coinage plank now would tie a millstone around the neck of the Demo cratic party and mean tbe defeat of the party next November. It was believed in tho fir6t place that McLean was be hind Dewey's candidacy, and tiiis move ment is gradually undiscovering it. A few Eastern states, with Ohio, could make Bryan's success improbable. An Honest Mcillclue fur La Grltipo. George W. Wait, of Gardner, Me., says: 'I have had the worst cough, cold, chills und grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to tbe vendor.

The ways of a hen are often original and sometimes mirth-provoking-, and a Plymouth Itock did novel and amus ing things, to tho joy of n carload of. passengers, on a recent trip from Brad dock to Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh. Commercial Gazette tells the story. Carrying a lien proudly, n man who was evidently u foreigner got on a trol ley car at Braddoek. He was drowsy and not quite sober, and ho crossed his legs, set the hen on his lap and went to sleep. Four miles out of Braddoek the hen suddenly woke from its own reverie and cackled. Its owner opened his eyes and found himself and his hen objects of interest. He was annoyed. Hut the passengers had moru or less excuse for staring; they had discovered n fresh egg resting snugly on the man's lap. Ko one could speak the mini's lan guage, but every one was bound that he should know what had happened. Twenty index fingers pointed to the hen and 40 eyes were turned in the same direction. Finally the stranger lifted the hen tenderly and the secret was revealed. Then he was wide awake. With his left hand he held the egg aloft, that all might see; with his right hand he affectionately stroked the hen. Every body smiled. All at once it seemed to occur to him that refreshments were in order. He grinned at his fellow passen gers, tapped the shell on the edge of the seat to open a way to the interior and swallowed the egg. IF MAN WERE FLEA-LIKE. A Fast One Could Ktmlly Jnmp Around (he Enrth In nn Hour or Less. Snyder, the calculating barber, hadn't opened his lips for fully four minutes, and it was plain to be seen that he had something on his mind, says the Philadelphia Record. Final ly he swallowed twice, breathed hard for a moment, nnd gave vent to his feelings in this manner: "I've been thinking what I could do if I were only a flea. I read in a scientific pa per the other day that if a man were built on the same lines as a Ilea, he could jump from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh in one leap. I mean, of course, if he bad all the power of a flea increased in proportion to his sie. Think how quickly be could cir cumnavigate the globe. It might be possible to get around the world in nn hour. The distance from Philadel phia to Pittsburgh is 35 1 miles, nnd the equatorial circumference of the earth is 21,002 miles. A simple cal culation in mental arithmetic will show you tlmt this would be a frac tion over 70 leaps. It surely wouldn't take a minute for each jump, judged from the liveliness of the Ilea. Think of coming in here, with three or four customers ahead of you, and, instead of sitting down and waiting, just tnk ing u few jumps around the world to kill time. There you are, sir.
