A special dispatch to the Now

Potts, long a member of the "chair
squadron" in tho navy department,
will havo to go to sea and command
a ship for several months before re
ceiving his promotion to Tear-admiral.
Secretary Daniels ordered Captain
Potts and Commander Andrews, who
also has been on duty in the navy
department for several years, to do
several months of duty abroad ship
before receiving promotion. Captain
Potts wrote tho president, protest

in sympathy with Secretary Daniel's
policy.
Both Captain Potts and Comman

year's sea service while holding
their present rank. Commander
Andrews made no protest.
An Associated Press dispatch
says: Secretary Bryan is receiving
congratulations upon the birth of his
fifth grandchild, Reginald Bryan
Owen, at Elphan, Kent, England.
This newest grandson and namesake
to the secretary of state is a son
of Lieutenant Reginald Owen of the
Royal Engineers, and Mrs. Owen,
formerly Ruth Bryan.
President Wilson has nominated
Major J. F. Strong, editor of tho
Daily Empire at Juneau, Alaska, to
be governor of Alaska.

ned yell for tho Nobraskan.
before Mr. Bryan had gone far in
his address ho noticed that his most
qntbuslastic auditor was a young
man down in front, a big powerful
looking young man with lungs that
would have made a side show barker
green with envy. Occasionally Wy
vell's outbursts were so vociferous
that tho commoner had to stop his
speech and look smilingly down at
the young student until the tumult
had subsided. As the speech went
on tho Nebraskan seemed to give
more and more attention to tho yell
ing Cornellian, until finally it began
to appear as if ho were addressing
Wyvell particularly. Once or twice
tho Nebraskan asked Jason P. Mer
rill, tho chairman of tho meeting,
who his enthusiastic friend was.
At the close of the meeting Bryan
made close inquiries about young
Wyvell and insisted that he wished
to meet him. Wyvell was brought
down to the Bryan special and the
Nebraskan invited him to accompany
him on his tour. Wyvell joined
Bryan on October 29 and stumped
with him in New York city, up the
Hudson valley, at Wellsville, Wy
vell's home, and other places, speak
ing on the same platform with the
commoner. There developed a
friendship which has never been
broken off. Wyvell has visited
Bryan at his Lincoln, Neb., home.
Bryan never forgot Wyvell and
therefore his appointment of the
young Cornellian as private secre
tary caused no great surprise in
Ithaca.
MB. BRYAN'S SECRETARY
A special dispatch to the New York
World says: Ithaca, April 12. A
shock of football hair, tossing about
on a massive head; a powerful voice
that rang above all the ordinary
clamor of a political crowd; a jump-ing-jack
movement of the body;
these are responsible for the appoint
ment of Manton Marble Wyvell of
New York City and Wellsville, N. Y.,
as private secretary to William Jen
nings Bryan, secretary of state. Had
not Mr. Wyvell placed himself in the
front rank of the partisans of Mr.
Bryan when he spoke in Ithaca on
his presidential tour -of 1900; had
not Mr. Wyvell quelled the riotous
and contemptuous yelling of hostile
Cornell students who sought to be
little the Bryan meeting and won
them over to cheering for the com
moner; had not Wyvell shouted
enthusiastically at every point in Mr.
Bryan's address which offered an
opportunity for applause, some other
man would now be secretary to the
secretary of state.
Wyvell, who was a prominent
student at Cornell, playing on the
football team and standing out as a
debater and public speaker, was
president of the Bryan club at Cor
nell in the 1900 campaign. He was
an aTdent democrat, one of tho few
ardent Bryan democrats in the uni
versity. Ho was one of those at
that time rare specimens, a democrat
from the rural districts of western
New York, hailing from Wellsville,
Allegany county, where ho still main
tains a residence.
When Bryan came to Ithaca in
October, 1900, Wyvell brought his
democratic club down town. The
meeting was held in De Witt park,
the speakers' stand being next to the
north side of the high school build
ings. Wyvell stationed himself in
the front ranks of the spectators and
when tho hostile students started to
jeer at various points in Bryan's
speech Wyvell gathered his cohorts
about him and started a counter
demonstration. He appealed to the
other students and by entreaties and
threats secured a respectful audi
ence, which soon good naturedly re
frained from its jeering and then
A POSSIBILITY
A man who is steadily employed
finally had a day off, and decided to
go fishing, taking his luncheon with
him. When ho reached the creek,
he discovered that he had dropped
the lunch packet somewhere on the
road, and hastened back to look for
it. Presently ho met a husky negro,
who was looking happy and picking
his teeth.
"Did you find anything on the
road as you came along?" asked the
gentleman.
"No, sah," answered tho negro.
"I did not find nothing. Couldn't a
dog have found it and eat it up?"

HE COULD WAIT
The neatness of the New England
housekeeper is a matter of common
remark, and husbands in that part
of the country are supposed to ap
preciate their advantages.
A bit of dialogue reported as fol
lows shows that there may be an
other side to the matter.
"Martha, have you wiped the sink
dry yet?" asked tho farmer, as he
made final preparations for the
night.
"Yes, Joslah," she replied. "Why
do you ask?"
"Well, I did want a drink, but I
guess I can get along till morning."

four cows with gravity setting
Thousands upon thousands of cow owners have already proved
this statement; any experienced dairyman will verify it for you.
With such a big saving it is hard to understand why any cow
owner should try to get along without a De Laval Cream Separator.
If you are selling cream or making butter, and have no sepa
rator, or else an inferior machine, we know if we could put a
De Laval on your place we would be doing you a personal favor.
If you haven't a separator don't make the mistake of starting
with a " cheap " or inferior machine. When you do buy a sepa
rator as sooner or later you surely will be sure to get the best
the De Laval.
Remember, you can't make money by trying to save money
in the purchase price of a cream separator. A De Laval costs
' only a little more than the cheapest and will save you twice as
much and last five to ten times as long as other separators.

SECRETARY'S THEME
IN ARMORY ADDRESS
VTiile the secretary was given a
cordial reception In the church, the
greeting that went out to him in the
armory was greater. He entered tho
building by a side entrance on the
west side of the armory. Tho crowd
had expected him to go in by tho
main entrance, but the little coup
proved a keen disappointment for
those on Broad street.
Mr. Bryan entered the building on
a triumphant wave of enthusiasm.
As soon as the top of his broad brim
hat appeared in the doorway tho
vast crowd rose to their feet and be
gan cheering. The applause was
deafening and lasted for several
minutes, showing that the commoner
still holds a high place in the hearts
of his Philadelphia followers.
With his hat in his hand and his
broad, sympathetic face turned to
tho audience, Mr. Bryan ascended a
narrow stairway leading to a small
balcony in the rear of tho armory.
Preliminary to being formally pre
sented to tho gathering, several
hymns were sung under the leader
ship of Donald V. Redding, superin
tendent of the Sunday school, and a
member of the church choir. Prayer
was offered by tho Rev. Dr. I W.
Roberts, who invoked divine bless
