WHAT OF THE EAST? Can It Possibly Be Bryan? Speaking of straws, within the last week, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading democrat ic paper In Ohio, and the Balti more Sun, the leading demo cratic paper in Maryland, have "leclared for Taft and against Bryan and Bryanism. There is not a daily pape'r in New York City that is supporting the dis apearless leader. The Hearst papers are opposing him bitter ly, almost vituperatively. The New York Sun mourns the par ty of Cleveland and refuses to be comforted. The World, which for a time seemed about to go to Bryan’s rescue, has now switched and made it unani mous. This is written as indi cating the answer to the ques tion. “What of the east?’’ Within the past week three Falls City men have returned from the east and each in vary ing measure, makes the same re port. The voters are apathetic. There is no enthusiasm and less interest. The labor vote is un certain, the business interests are against Bryan. The labor of the national committees will be to get the vote out. Ohio will in all probability give Judge Taft a tremendous ma jority. The writer talked with many men on the trains, the street cars and in the hotels. Eacii man predicted but one re sult in Ohio. I met several gen tlemen in Cincinatti who had supported Bryan twice, but who are now wearing Taft buttons and eulogizing the republican candidate. I did not hear a sin gle person express the fear or hope that Bryan would carry the state. I met a charming old south ern lawyer on the train whose home is in North Carolina and who was returning from the west. He was a delegate to the Denver convention, voted for Bryan and paid a visit to Pair view. “My state will go for Bryan.1’ he said, “but many of us democrats who will vote for him are looking to the north to rid the party of him and his po litical fallacies.’’ “The party will never return to its original sanity until it is purged of Bryan,” he continued. “There are many northern democrats who feel as we southerners do and we look to these men to make Judge Taft’s majority so great that the part}’ will never again take up with Bryan.” “Why look to the northern democrats?” 1 asked, “Why not do it yourselves?” “With southern democrats,” he returned, “politics is more a social question than otherwise.’’ “A voter who allies himself with the negro even in politics, does not occupy the same social position as the old line demo, crats do.” T h e old gentleman talked freely of the democratic plat form, condemning some of its provisions in unmeasured terms. “Contrast,” said he, “the Bryan plank o n injunctions, which shows the demagogue so plain ly, with the broad and courag eous statement of Judge Taft, that his policy on injunctions would be to look at the injury threatened rather than to the employment of the one threat ening the injury.” “In your admiration for Judge Taft you talk much like a re publican,’’ I ventured. “Iam a democrat.” he said proudly. “I have earned the right to be a democrat. I was a confederate soldier and have four yankee bullets in my body.” The manner with which this was said closed the debate and we talked of other things. The congressional committee at Washington professes su preme confidence. The state ment was made to the writer by one of the secretaries that the committee really believed that Judge Taft would carry every northern state. In New York they feel that Taft will carry his full party strength, while Hearst is expected to take 50, 000 votes from Bryan. To summarize the situation as I see it, I would say that the business world fears Bryan. He is known best by his great struggle for such issues as free silver, government ownership, anti imperialism and other isms, all of which have proved fala cious, and all of which would have been ruinous to the pros, perity and welfare of our peo ple. With such a record the business world mistrusts him, and no man has ever been elected president of the United States against the wishes of the business men of America.

When the liver is bad life is jaun diced. Nothing will be right and woes will flock— in imagination, i Therefore keep in good trim. If you think your liver is torpid, take it in time, t'hange your diet; go in hard for systematic outdoor ex ercise. special calisthenics to act on the liver and deep breathing. Avoid rich food, especially in hot weather. Hat plenty of fresh vege tables, fruit, (Iraham or whole wheat bread and not too much meat. If milk makes you bilious, it is better not to drink it in hot weather, or at least not take it more than once a day. As soon as you begin to feel bilious and your eyeballs look yellow, drink lemon and water. Not lemonade, for the acid of the sugar and lemon is injurious, but the juice of half a lemon squeezed into a glass of water. This can be taken hot at bedtime and cold lmt not iced, in the morning. THE SMALLEST KINGDOM. Monaco is the smallest kingdom in the world. It is only 53 Vi miles' in circuit, including Monte Carlo. The capital, Monaco, containing 2,000 inhabitants, is perched upon a rocky promontory rising perpendicu larly about 200 feet above the sea level. The only land approach is by a steep winding road, well fortified. The castle, built in 1342, which crowns the center of the rock upon the site of a much more ancient fortress, is a remarkable specimen of military architecture of the fif teenth and sixteenth centuries. The interior of the castle is remarkably rich. One long gallery is said to be painted by Michael Angelo. An other is covered with fine paintings by Genoese artists. There is a mag nificent marble staircase and fine apartments, each with a history at tached. AVERAGE LENGTH OF LIFE. The man who lives till he is more than a century old and the child who dies in infancy are alike included in the law of averages. They balance each other’s chances, as it were. Of 100,000 people living at the age of 21, only 82,284 will be living at 40, only 49 will l>e living at 96, and only nine at 97. At 30, the average man may take it that he has under 35 years to live; at 40, under 28 years; at 50, under 21 years; at 60 under 14 years. In each and all of these cases, how he lives will determine whether he will have a longer life or a shorter life, but the average will infallibly work out within a spitce of 90 years. AUSTRALIAN CADET CORPS. All children in Australia are drilled, but the elder boys are attached to the Australian mil itary forces by means of the cadet corps. Almost every large school has its band of cadets, who wear neat khaki uni forms and are armed with light rifles, in the use of which they are frequently instructed. Every year these boys hare shoot ing matches, and the scores prove that among the youngsters there are many who have already become skilled marksmen. THE MEAN MAN. Pearl—I think the writer that lives next door is tire meanest man I ever saw. lie is writing an article entitled “The Clinging Tempera ment of Woman.” Ruby—I don’t see anything so ter rible in that. Pearl—No, but the brute occupied a comfortable seat in a street car to day and allowed me to cling by a strap for 20 blocks so he could get some atmosphere on the subject. SAW IT ON THE BOOK. Aunt Martha—Yes, Silas, while we was in New York we took in the grand opery—which opery? Well, now, I don’t just recollect the name of it. Do you, Hiram? Uncle Hiram—Sakes alive, Mar thy, can’t you remember nothin’. It was that tliere opery they call “Lib retto.”—Boston Trene'-ript. SOUNDED LIKE IT. “Why did you have to remain after school?” “ I couldn’t tell what a strait was.” “Good heavens! Do they teach poker in the school these days?”— Houston Post. ADDS TO MIND’S ASSIMILATION Skill In Mathematics Declared to Be of Great Aid to the “Digestion” of Reader. A literary worker who wished to ilo a large amount of reading hv proxy, advertised for an assistant capable of digesting the contents of a tremendous quantity of books in a very short while. While weighing each applicant's qualifications for rapid, assimilative reading he in quired carefully into his mathemati cal tu-quireUicnls. I iiuilly he chose the man who was most skillful at un tangling arithmetical problems. “On the surface that seems an un necessary accomplishment in this case." he said, “but experience has taught me that anybody who is ex pert in figures can read any kind of literature pul before him with great er accuracy and speed than the per son lacking in mathematical acu men.” JASPER'S COSTLY COFFIN. Jasper M. Smith of Atlanta, On., is either going to get married next year <>r crawl into the $7,000 casket he has built and bid farewell to earthly joys. Jasper is to be 76 years old in 190!) and he says that ever since his youth he has sworn to be married when he attained that age. Also, coincident with his long matrimonial dreams, Mr. Smith had meditated a deal upon death and has meantime ordered his coffin. It has been completed and the $7,000 has gone to make the most elaborate cof fin. It is the old-fashioned kind witli square corners and bulging sides, for Jasper says he is liable to wake up and wants room to extend his elbows or scratch Iris head when the great trump sounde. Atlanta is wondering what bizarre episodes will next occur in the career of her ec centric millionaire.—Milwaukee Sen tinel. THE ENGLISH AGAIN. A lady, accompanied by her small son. was making various purchases at the Army and Navy stores in Lon don. The boy grew tired. “Who are you buying those for?” he asked. “Why, for father,” was the reply. “Father in heaven, or father in India?” the boy persisted. The lady mentioned the remark to a friend, who, thinking it amus ing, repeated it to an Englishwoman at church a few days later. The Eng lishwoman listened sympathetically. “Poor woman,” she sighed, “she was married twice.”—Everybody’s Maga zine. AGAINST CARPET MOTHS. The following recipe is invaluable to cause the sure death of the carpet bug or Buffalo moth: One ounce of alum, one ounce of chloride of zinc, three ounces of salt. Mix with two quarts of wrater and let stand over night in a covered vessel. In the morning pour care fully in another vessel so as to leave sediment behind. Dilute this with two quarts of water and apply by sprinkling the edges of the carpet fo'r a distance of a foot from the wall. This is all that is necessary. They will leave anything that is sprinkled with this solution, which will not injure the texture or color. LITTLE MONEY LEFT TO SCIENCE. The French Official Gazette in publishing the list of legacies and gifts to public establishments and charities made in 1907 gives the total as $11,292,400, as compared with $7,872,000 for 1906. As re gards the purely religious establish ments* $1,200 has been left to the vestries, a striking contrast to the $1,929,000 so left in 1901 or even the $584,800 of 1906. It is a curious thing that among all the different objects for which money was left last, year practically nothing has been devoted to assisting learned men in their researches or to the fight against consumption. A DEMONSTRATED THEORY. “Farmer,” said little Iloilo, “is it true that riches do not bring happi ness ?” “Quite true, my son. If you doubt it, observe how much more the peo ple in the bleachers seem to enjoy themselves than those in the grand stand.” FIGURING ON THE FUTURE. “Suppose women should vote. What would be the result?” “Oh, T don’t know,” answered Mr. Sirius Barker, petulantly. "Perhaps we’d have hand-painted ballots.” 0 ...SEASONABLE GOODS... 1 lore are a few things in our line that we feel sure would interest you at this season of the year.
