pain, which was relieved by two appli

Tho Dewey Uuonii
Washington, April 12. 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.

lows It.
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

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. Witch
hazel or rum?"
