BALTIMORE, June 15#. —If it wasn’t
for the presence iu Haiti more of Jim
Ham Lewie' set of copyrighted pink
whiskers (all rlghta reserved) there
wouldn't be a nickel's worth of ex
citement over the opeuing of the
Democratic national convention here
next Tuesday.
, Baltimore and the rest of the coun
try, apparently, refuse to take inter
est in the Democratic situation until
the Republicans at Chicago, dubbed
the “Suicide club” by Democrats,
fSLve done their worst.
Try as they may. Democratic lead
ers like Norman Mack, Tom Taggurt,
Roger Sullivan and Urey Woodson
and the corporal's guard of press
agents and claim agents who were
early arrivals here fail utterly to get
any kind of a hearing except when
they offer to buy somebody a drink.
In fact, several hundred western
Democratic delegates stopped over in
. Chicago to see the G. O. P. blood run
and those who remained at home were
afraid to leave early for Baltimore tot
fear they'd miss the extra editions.
Present indications seein to bear
William Jennings liryan out in his
assertion that this Democratic na
tional convention will be a "model af
fair.”
The dictionaries define the word
“model” as “a small Imitation of the
real thing.” This, of course, would he
assuming that the real thing is being
staged at Chicago.
William Jennings Bryan, who is>
working as a newspaper reporter In
Chicago tills week, will be the ring
master at Baltimore next week. He a
a delegate-at-large from Nebraska. It
la suspected he still has some influ
eooe in Democratic circles.
There will be approximately 1,034
delegates In the Democratic conven
tion. Through long custom, a two
thirdß majority is necessary to nom
inate. In this case It will require 730
tcjwin.
jChamp Clark will go into the con
vention thinking he has 400 delegates
in his vest pocket; Woodrow Wilson
expects to have about 300, Underwood
90, Harmon 65, and Qaynor 90, pro
vided Boss Murphy consents. This
would leave Clark still needing 330 to
>win, Wilson 430, and Harmon, Under
wood and Gaynor so many, It's use
less to count ’em up.
Therefore, gentle readers, step up J
and. meet William Jennings Bryan.;
Bryan will be the only man present, j
besides Alton B. Pnrker, who has had
any considerable experience In run
ning for president, and while Clark,
Wilson, Harmon, Underwood and
Gaynor are at home with their ears j
to long distance receivers, William
will be right down among the dele-1
gates, perspiring and voting with ;
them.
And they say Bryan is primed for |
another one of those “cross of gold,
'crown of thorns" things, only brought
strictly down to date. Bryan may be
a little rusty on political orations, be
cause ttiere have been four or five
days In the last two years that he
didn’l orate a syllable. But generally
speaking, he knows the Democratic
situation about as well as any other
new’spaper reporter, and he won’t be
dj-cstralned by modesty In discussing
it.
The best loved Democrat in the en
tire country, the recognized pioneer j
has anew interest when the cereal is to be

"JOAN OF ARC" IS GIVEN
FLASORATE PRODUCTION
Work of Famous Heroine is
Opening Spectacle of Ring
lings’ Circus This Year
The sublime and dramatic story of
Joan of Arc has been made into ai
beautiful spectacle for Ringling
Brothers, who are producing it this
season on the biggest stage in the
world, erected in their main tent. It
is offered as an introductory to their
performance. Jt employee 1,200 char
acters, a ballet of 300 dnclng girls,
600 horses and a trainload of special
scenery, costumes and properties. It
cost $500,000.
The story or Joan of Arc should he
told every child. She was born on
Janury 16, 1412, at Domremy, a little
village of Larraine. Her father and
mother were plain, laboring people.
The girl was brought up with her
brothers and sister in a little house
tiiat is still to he seen at Domremy,
so close to the church that Its garden
touches the graveyard. She was a
sweet girl, loved by all for her kind i
heart. A brave worker, she aided
her parents in their lahprs, leading
the cows to pasture, tending the sheep, 1
and In the evening spinning at the side
of her mother.
One summer day. when Rhe was
thirteen years old, Joan herd a voice
at midday in her father's garden. A
great light shone upon her, and tho
archangel St. Michael appeared to her.
He told her of the great mercy that
was in store for the kingdom of France,
and announced to her that «ho should
go to The rescue of the l>aiiphin and
bring him to he crowned at Rhelms.
This was just after the death of
Charles VI. had divided France- into
two gTeat factions. Joan, hearing
many arguments among the men of
the village, agreed with the most of
them in their hatred of the Invasion
that had given the crown to an Kng-
P.'.b king at Paris. Stimulated by the
united impulses of patriotism and re
ligion, she continued to hear voices.
Her story was noised about and men
with money came to her assistance.
Dressed as a boy she proceeded to
Chlnon, where, after great difficulty,
she was flually received by Charles
VII.
From this on the story of the peas
ant girl reads like a fairy tale. At the
head of the great armies of France
she rode through victory after victory.
She conveyed the dethroned king hack
to Kheims and restored his crown and
defeated the Kngllsh under FalstafT,
Talbot and Suffolk. The closing pages
of the story of Joan are too tragic for
a drama of gladness, so the spectacle
aptly ends with the great coronation
scene. At last, abandoned by all, even
the Indoleht king whom she delivered.
Joan was taken to the public square
and bnrned on a charge of witchcraft
and heresy. The French have recently
erected a monument on the Identical
spot, seeking to redeem their part in
her execution.
Death Takes George Frank.
George Frank, one of the oldest em
ployes of D. M. Ferry £ Cos., died,
Tuesday, in the family home, No. 30.'»
Klrby-ave. west. Mr. Frank was born
in Toledo, and had been with the seed
firm for upwards of 30 years. His
wife and three children survive. Fu
neral services will be held In Holy
Kosary church, Friday morning, at y
o’clock.
"What art you smiling about?"

CANNED STRAWBERRIES.
There is Just as much difference be
tween home canned strawberries and
the factory brand as there is between
the fine hand made lingerie and that
which is machine made. Hut you
must take quite as much care in can
ning as you would do in a fine piece
of needlework. Drain the strawber
ries perfectly dry and place a layer
of them in the bottom of a pint can.
put over a layer of sugar and in this
way fill the can to the top. Place In
a fruit steamer and steam 1-2 hour
j The berries will settle and some of
the cans must be filled from others
while hot. and the tops screwed on
and the cans returned to the steamer.
I where they are placed upside down
and allowed to steam another half
hour. Then remove from the fire and
let cool In Steuiner. If these direc
j lions are carefully followed the ber
ries will have the flavor and color of
fresh fruit.
