All efforts to get Bryan to take a stand for or against county option is proved unavailing. The ground hog might as well come out and acknowledge himself a pre varicator par excellence. The past two months of Brvan has proved him to be a trimmer, the peer of any on record. Even his most staunch apologizers and defenders are getting weary with his subserviency to his own political interests. Il’m! “Let the people rule ” eh, Mr. Bryan? “I am not much of a mathemati cian,” said the cigarette, but I can add to a man's nervous troubles, 1 can subtract from his physical energy. I can multiply his aches and pains, I can divide his mental pow ers, I take interest from his work and discount his chances for success.” j The Live Stock Superintendents for the 1909 Nebraska State Fair are: Horses, J.

The wonderful democratic legis lature in session at Lincoln has proved so far one of the most ineffi cient that has eser held dow n seats in the state legislative halls. It is two-thirds over, past the hour for in troduction of bills, and with several hundreds of proposed measures, many of them worse than nothing, lias failed to do anything of note. Two Irishmen were crossing in some other ship than the Deutchland. Mike got sea sick and leaned over the rail in his endeavor to lighten the cargo. He was very sick and knew he would die.

Ills., last Friday night, while Evangelist Billy Sunday was engaged in one of his revival services, a crazy crank named Sher man Potts, ran up to the platform and struck Sunday several terrific blows with a buggy whip. Sunday jumped from his station, knocked the man down, and they had a genuine mix-up. in which Sunday's athletic training gave him the best of the crank who was a powerful fellow. Re ports claim the melee wos most in teresting. Sunday does not seem to to have the meek and loving spirit of the Master, whose teachings he is supposed to give to the people at so j much per teach. Carrying a revolver and threatening to shoot his enemies i and engaging in fist-fights in the! presence of his thousands of ^hearers does not appeal very strongly to the spiritual side of the question. It would seem that evangelism wa,s re trograding very strongly from the pure, Christian spirit exhibited by such men as Moody and Sankey and other followers and examplers of the meek and lowly Jesus.

Charm of Sincerity. Few attributes add so much to one’s personal power as the knowledge that one is absolutely genuine and sin cere. If your life is a perpetual lie. if you know that you are not what you pre tend to be, you can not be strong. There is a continuous struggle with the truth going on inside you which saps your energy and warps char acter. If there Is a mote in your eye, re move it at once. Otherwise, you can not look the world straight in the face. Further, there will be a cloudi ness, a haze, about your character which will be noticeable to those about you. Strength lies in character. Deceit is weakness; sham and pretense are enfeebling. Only the genuine and the sincere are worth while. Knew Her Weakness. The postmistress in a small town was strongly suspected of tampering with packages and parcels passing through the office. One day a little boy entered the office and handed her a box containing a large piece of wedding cake, saying: “My sister, the bride, sends this to you with her com pliments and would like you to eat as much as you can.” The postmistress was delighted. "How very kind of the bride to re member me,” she said. “Did she know I have a special weakness for wed ding cake?” “She did,” the boy replied. “And she thought she'd send you some this afternoon jest to take the edge off your appetite before she mailed any boxes to her friends.” » if i , HA RN k. k.

Respectfully Yours, Hayhurst-Gallaway Hdw. Co. INHERENT LOVE OF THE SOIL. Characteristic That Is the Most Deep ly Planted in Mortals. The first man was a gardener, we are told. Certain it is that the first Men were tillers of the soil, after they ceased to be wandering warriors. That is where we get our love of na ture, declares a writer in the Kansas City Journal. That is why we build parks and have flowers clambering about our premises. That is why we are strangely at peace when we get out into the mountains and lose our selves among the' fragrant woods. .That is why we loathe at times the smell of paint that is on civilization and long for the perfume of the life that Is close to the green leaves and the wild flowers. That is why we are eo happy when we camp out and why we are so reluctant to return. That is why our earliest recollections of the “old farm” are the sweetest and ten derest of our lives. That is why we crack a joke at the “simple life” and “back to nature” and all that—when somebody is around—and why we know, away down in our hearts, that the simple life is the life most worth living and that we cannot get close to anything sweeter or purer than na ture, "Mother" Nature, whose sons and daughters we are, from whom we may wander far, but to whom we re turn as prodigals,'finding the prodi gal’s welcome and the prodigal’s peace.. ALL THAT SHE CARED TO SEE. Most Interesting Discovery One Wom an Made by Use of the Glass. ‘‘I thought it was a pretty fair sort of telescope for one that wasn’t very big,” said Uncle Silas. “I rigged it up in the attic by the high north win dow and had it fixed so it would swing around easy. I took a deal of satisfaction in looking through it, the sky seemed so wide and full of won ders, so when Hester was here I thought I'd give her the pleasure too. She stayed a long time upstairs and seemed to be enjoying it When she came down I asked her if she’d dis covered anything new. “ ‘Yes,’ she says, ‘why, it made everybody’s house seem so near that I seemed to be right beside ’em, and I found out what John Pritchard’s folks are doin’ in their outkitchen. I've wondered what they had a light there for night after night, and I just turned the glass on their windows. They are cuttin' apples to dry—folks as rich as them cuttin’ apples!’ “And actually that was all the wom an had seen! With the whole heav ens before her to study, she had spent her time prying into the affairs of her neighbors! And there are lots more like her—with and without tele scopes.”—Christian Uplook. _ Pine Cakes. The modern farmer touched various attractive cakes on the shelf. “This is an oak cake,” he said. ‘‘That is a pine one. The row above are walnut. All these cakes are actu ally made of wood. They are a new cattle food—the invention of Prof. Heinrich Reh—that I have imported from Berlin. “Reh points out that the animals like young shoots, roots of shrubs, bark—hence his saw-dust food, en riched with a mixture of potato peel ings, cornhusk and the residue of the sugar beet after the extraction of the sugar. “It is said that this food, the cheap est known, agrees with cattle. And why shouldn’t it? It is rich in albu men, nitrogen and fats—much richer than straw. I propose to give it a fair trial. If it does all that is claimed for it, the price of milk ought to come down 50 per cent.” are in 9 cases out of 10 the result of Eye-Strain, which if relieved by glasses in early life would never cause crossed eves. Preliminary symptoms of Eye troubles that cause crossed eyes are: Pain in back of eyes; pain in temples, sometimes running over ears: print jumps after reading for a time. These are strong symptoms that the eyes will soon cross un less the eye-strain is removed. It will pay you to see me at the St. Elmo hotel. I do not so out of the hotel to work.

A resident of the shaken city, while he felt that his duties required him to remain there to do what he might for the sufferers, sent his six-year-old to the youngster's grandfather in New York. Three days after the boys’ arrival the Charleston man re ceived this telegram from his father: “Send us your earthquake and take back your boy.”—Woman’s Home Companion for March.
