the name of Abraham Lincoln and
Ulysses Grant will be loved and re

terested in the passage of the bill pro
viding for nationalization of the for
ests of the southern Appalachian and
White mountains
Speaking of the results of the recent
conference at the White House Gov
ernor Glenn said
In mj judgment it was the greatest
meeting of any kind that has been
had in the United States since the
meeting of the constitutional conven
tion more than a century ago and has
given a better idea of how the state
and the nation cap operate without
friction or conflict
BERLIN BEER HALLS
Where One Must Display Great For
mality and Prsciseness
Berlin Is organized for eating and
drinking and so are the Berliners or
ganized for it Scattered ail over the
city arc enormous places where food
is served wine halls where only wues
are served and beer halls which deal
in beer alone some of them most re
spectable and some not so impeccable
It is the rule that it is perfectly proper
to take your mother or your wife or
your sister to a beer hall or a wine
hall that is frequented by the officers
of the army They go only to the prop
er ones publicly
The etiquette of these places is most
formal If the hall Is crowded and
tables are scarce before you sit down
you draw your heels together and make
a military bow to everybody sitting at
the table you select then also you
raise your glass or stein to those at the
table when your refreshment Is served
On leaving you bow all around again
or the other people at the table bow if
they leave before you do The Ameri
can way of asking the others at the
table for permission to sit down Is not
ceremonious enough for the Germans
who are the most formally polite peo
ple in the world Samuel G Blythe in

A FAMILY MIX
The Story as It Is Recorded en the
Tombstones
In the early part of the last century
there lived in an old New England
town a Mr Church who in the course
of his pilgrimage through this vale of
tears was bereft of four wives all of
whom were buried in the same lot In
his old age it became necessary to re
move the bodies to a new cemetery
This melancholy task the much be
reaved widower undertook himself
but in the process the bones of the la
mented quartet became hopelessly
mixed Priding himself on possession
of a New England conscience Mr
Church would not under the painful
circumstances permit the use of the
original headstones but procured new
ones one of which bore the following
inscription Here lies Hannah Church
and probably a portion of Emily An
other Sacred to the memory of Emi
ly Church who seems to be mixed
with Matilda Then followed these
lines
Stranger pause and drop a tear
For Emily Church lies buried here
Mixed in some perplexing manner
With Mary Matilda and probably Han-

The Star Arcturus
It is probable that the star Arcturus
is one of the six greatest of all the
stars in the sky Notwithstanding its
brightness it is so far away from us
that it is not displaced in position in
the slightest measurable degree as
we change our position 1SO000000
miles in our annual journey around
the sun Could we be placed midway
between Arcturus and our sun we
would receive thousands of times more
light and heat from the star than from
our sun and this notwithstanding that
the stars radiation is smothered by
a dense blanket of metallic vapors In
spite of its immense distance the star
is drifting slowly in a southwestward
direction over the face of the sky its
motion changing its apparent position
by an amount equal to the diameter
of the moon in the course of about
1000 years So great an apparent mo
tion must indicate an enormous veloci

Peppermint and Tobacco
If you have a boy who has begun
smoking too early and whom you wish
to cure of the habit feed him pepper
mints Dr O Clayton Jones of Silver
ton England writing in the London
Lancet is authority for this simple
cure Dr Jones writes To break the
smoking habit in a youth there is noth
ing better than peppermint drops He
cannot smoke with a bullseye in his
mouth and even for some time after
it is dissolved tobacco will not blend
kindly with the taste that remains
Socially the cure may seem worse than
the disease but from a medical point
of view the sucking of peppermints is
far less hurtful A common bullseye
will prevent smoking for nearly an
hour so the amount of sweets used
need not be great
His Discharge
A touching instance of the humor
which never deserts a true Irishman
even in his worst troubles is recorded
A soldier was seen in the trenches
holding his hands above the earth
works His captain asked
What are you doing that for Pat
He replied with a grin as he worked
his fingers
Im feeling for a furlough sir
Just then a rifle ball struck his arm
just below the wrist Then a queer ex
pression of pain and humor passed
over his face as he exclaimed
And faith its a discharge Lon

TAIRVIEW THE BRYAN HOME
gnished Nebraskan the local trolley
company made an extension in its
transportation system so as to afford
accommodation to those desiring to
pay their respects to Mr Bryan or
consult with him on various aspects
of the canvass
Fairview is an ideal home for a man
of Mr Bryans tastes and inclinations
The Democratic leader was born on a
farm and has always lovel the life of
a tiller of the soil even when the du
ties of his calling necessitated his liv
ing in a city or traveling much about
the country Now he has a farm of
his own and in the center of it a resi
dence which while not palatial or pre
tentious contains all the comforts and
conveniences for which one could ask
and affords room for his library and
the many souvenirs and relics which
he and Mrs Bryan have collected in
the course of their wanderings in dif
ferent parts of the world
The distinguished pair have had un
usual opportunities for making a valu
able collection of this kind
It should not be forgotten that Fair
view is the home of Mrs Bryan as well
as that of the man who is so prominent
in the politics of the nation Indeed
perhaps Mrs Bryan should have more
credit for making Fairview what it i
than her distinguished husband He
certainly would wish that credit to be
awarded her She superintended the
construction of the house the erection
of which was begun in 1901 Mr Bryan
being away from home much of tho
time during this period They had pick
ed out the site together some years be
fore when they used to take horseback
rides out from Lincoln and became im
pressed with the beauty of the scenerv

WHICH WAS RIGHT
See if You Can Untangle tho Knots In
This Problem
A young man named Enathlus de
sired to learn eloquence nnd art of
pleading aud lie bargained with Pro
tagoras the ancient Greek sophist for
instructions agreeing to pay one half
of tho fee down and the other half on
the first day ho gained a case It took
the young man so long to learn that
his tutor came to the conclusion that
he was delaying his start In business
to avoid paying the other half of the
fee so Protagoras sued him for the
money
When the case came up for trial Pro-
tagoras said to the young man You
act most absurdly young man be
cause In either case you must pay me
If the judges decide against you you
must pay and if they decide for you
you must pay for you will then have
gained your case
You are wrong replied the young
man I will win either way If the
judges are for me 1 will not have to
pay and if they are against me I will
not have to pay for this last was the
very bargain between us namely If I
did not win my case
The judges considered the case inex
plicable and as they could not see
their way to any decision they ad
journed the case to a day that never
came for any of the principals On
Protagoras side it was a case of los
ing when he won and on the young
students side winning when he lost
ANIMALS AMBIDEXTROUS
Why Man Gives Preference to Right
Hand Over Left
Right handedness and right eyedness
came with genus homo Dr George M
Gould has watched for them in squir
rels that use their front paws to hold
nuts cats that strike at insects in the
air or play with wounded mice and In
many other animals but he is certain
no preference is given to the right side
over the left
But in the lowest human savages all
over the world choice in greater ex
pertness of one hand is clearly present
One cause for its development is in
primitive military customs In all
tribes and countries since man used
implements of offense and defense the
left side where the heart lies has been
protected by the shield and the left
hand was called the shield hand while
the right hand was called the spear
hand
Next to fighting came commerce
The fundamental condition of barter
ing was counting with the low num
bers one to ten The fingers of the free
or right hand were naturally first used
and all fingers today are called digits
as are the figures themselves while
tho basis of our numberings is the deci
mal or ten fingered system Every drill
and action of the soldier from ancient
Greece to modern America is right sid
ed in every detail Firing from the
right shoulder and sighting with the
right eye bring the right eye into prom

Advice From the Wrong Source
At last n great discovery has been
mado It took the editor of a liquor
paper to mnlco it Ho runs a paper in
Detroit called Truth which like an
other organ of nearly tho same name
published in Now York should bo called
more properly Untruth
Well this is what Truth says in re
vealing its remarkable discovery to the
world Tho trouble and bnd feeling
that exists in so many of tho Protestant
churches to day is caused by some of
its preachers who attempt tn speak up
on tho subject of tomperanco who do
not know tho first principle of human
nature How much moro good they
would do if thoy dovoted moro of their
valuable time sticking to tho more
beautiful stories the Bible tolls
The writer of this paragraph evident
ly does not know that a preacher is not
a mere teller of beautiful stories He is
a prophet And a part of the prophets
duty is to denounce ovil Tho liquor
business is a frightful ovil It is de
stroying the life of the individual and
tho nation No preacher with a con
science can keep quiet in the presence
of this blistering curso To devote
more of his valuablo timo sticking to
more beautiful stories tho Bible tells
night be agreeable to the man who is
debauching tho people but the preacher
would be faithless to his calling
No The pulpit is pitted against tho
saloon Tho preacher must fight the
iniquity wherever it shows its head It
is a part of his business The Bible
makes it so And it is in a large mea
sure the faithful and persistent preach
ing of temperance and prohibition by
tho pulpit that is responsible for the
present tidal wave of reform It is fill
ing the hearts of the liquor people with
dismay but makss the heart of right
eous folks to rejoice Ep worth Herald
