Solving the Old Problem.
When Sir Thomas I.ipton was a
; mull hot i:t Scotland, he droppou
into u church one Sunday morning
and was put by himself in n jh>w di
rectly in front of the mini: ter who
. reached a sermou on the text, “Am
I my brother’s keeper?”
The parson, who t,i* ur usually
elequetv , talked on this t’n ne un
ajout forty minutes, and finally
/
■ . — ■" ■■
worked up to the climax of his re
marks. lie kept his gaze iixed di
roi tlv on the little Lipton, who be
gan to fidget and look very self-eon
r< ions. At last, after an over
whelming outpouring of long words,
the m in it' or, his eyos blazing, made
a quick gesture and shouted at the
boy:
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Lipton could stand the strain no
longer, and replied, in a meek voice:
• No, sir."—The Popular Maga

MR. BRYAN AS REPORTER.
_
There is protest in Baltimore
againrt Mr. Bryan in the role of
newspaper reporter. He will be wel
comed in the role of statesman, but
there are democrats who would pre
fer that he drop his pen while his
par1 y is struggling with the great
problem of snaping a 'platform and
nominating a ticket for this year's
campaign.
The expression grows out of the
report that at Baltimore Mr. Bryan
will syndicate a daily letter to the
press as he Is now doing «t Chicago.
Fear i? entertained 'that he may not
be able to make his correspondence
impartial; that the politician rather
than the reporter will hold the pen,
and injury may result,
i There is ground for the fear. For
if wc may take his work at Chicago
as a basis far judgment. Mr. Bryan
is not much of a reporter. Hit
i“sCuff," hurriedly dictated, of course
'—docs not compare with that issu
ing from many unknown busy pen:
indispensable to an understanding
of what is taking place. It is in
stinct with life and color and in
formation, his could he disposer
with altogether and not part of 'h<
picture lost. When he ceases to re
peat what ha? been better done b]
others, he ceases to he a reporter.
Without any disrepet "o Mr
Bryan, in may be said that in esasy
ing the roles of reporter he indulge:
in a little affectation. He has ha<
no training and show? no aptitudi
for the part. When the “gentlemei
Jocks” ride for a purse. ’ he stabl
boys crowd the rail andjare inward
ly convulsed at the spectacle; ani
when so-called society /swells per
form with the chafing cVi?h and boas
of the toothsomeness oi^ their messc?
the real cooks thank goodness the
are exempt from sampling them.
Mr. Bryan at the reporter’s tabl
make? a very pretty picture. Tber
is something democratic in his ap
pcaranco there, pen md notebook ii
hand, earning an ihonest dodl3r ii
everyday fashion, /though he do"
not need the do^ar. Why not be
come one of thf^boys if the boy
have no objection?
Some of Mf. Bryan’s admirer
have likened Jiim as an oratar t

Charles James Fox, and, Strangely,
i -enough. Fox had an ambition to

j small way at versification, but it
was the opinion of his day, as it is
of this, that when he closed his
