'stors. Wo havo gono through the re
ining fire, and aro but tho better pre
pared to wage battle In tho future.
"Wlion or how we will win this battlo
.1 do not know. I simply know that
'jlf wo remain steadfast wo will ulti
mately win. In the last two campaigns
many of us not democrats supported
tho democratic ticket because uo had
confidence In tho leadership of Mr.
Bryan. If in tho future tho demuuatic
party will remain truo to tho people's
causo It will deservo tholr continued
oupport. If It shall provo recreant to
tho peoplo and compromlso their rights
jit will forfeit their support. Tho
democratic party Is olther the party of
tho peoplo or It Is not. It can occupy
no mlddlo ground.
"But with all tho obstacles in the
way wo faco tho future with hope and
with confldonco. Tho colonists strug
gled for a hundred years before they
roachod Yorktown. Appomattox court
house wad forty years away when
slavery agitation was first begun. In
our struggle I only invoke, tho pa
triotism of our fathers to sustain us
"while wo carry tho fight to a succebs
ftll issue."
A Lullaby.
'Hush thee, my baby,
'Sleop on my broast;
Day dies in darkness, . '
Night time brings rest. ' .
Hush thoo, and fear not, t
Cradled in lovo;
Mother's arms hold thee,
God is above.
Hush! Hush!

THE COOK AND HIS BROTH.
Puro as tho dewdrops
Sparkling at dawn;
Dream, for the sun-god
Sinks to the west;
Waking ig weary,
Dream-time is best!
Dream! Dream!
Sleep, dream, and hush thee,
God-given rest
Closes each toilrtime
, Blessing and blest,
Till at the last, when
Life's day is done,
Death 'shall say softly
Unto my son
Sleep! Sleep!

Uses of Salt.
A grain of salt seems a trival thing.
Yet to it human beings often owe
their lives. Few of the natural prod
ucts of the earth play a greater part
in the cvery-day- life than salt, and
yet most men and women think of it
as a very simple thing. People would
very soon become ill if deprived of it.
It exists in all -parts of tho body, and
the human blood without its particles
is lifeless. Many times when death
seemed near the vitality has been re
vived and sustained by the' pumping
of salted' water into the veins.
No food is adequately seasoned with
out the proverbial pinch of salt, A
person requires from one-fourth to
one-half ounce of salt daily. In the
olden times the Dutch used to punish
criminals by a diet of unsalted food.
I heir physical sufferings wer'e great
and usually endedin death.

Not alone must salt" be plentifully
added to all vegetable foods, hut meats
and fowl would not be palatable with
out it, The staff of life would not be
sweet to the palate if the snowy white
particles were left out of the dough
and in pastry, too, salt is' tin essen
tial, and poor, indeed Is the cook' who
has not tho salt- box- ever- handy,
For sore throats no gargle is better'
than salt and water. t makes rough
irons smooth, helps to pack ice, and,
as likq cures like, it. also melts it
when scattered upon aa uncomforta
bly slippery porch and doorstep.
Mixed with vinegar itis an excellent
polish, and it is used ' in the water
with which the tedth are cleaned, Ita
effect is'felj; in beauty ahd health.-'
