We have already Heard of five

Mr. Taft's vote wiU be 321 to

majority over Bryan is 1,118,363

no other proof of Mr. Taft's
popularity is needed.

ft it were not tor the vote of
the solid South, which is the
only certainly democratic
strong hold, the democratic
party would die a natural death.
The South votes with the dem
ocratic party not so much be
cause of its approval of its prin

to the neffro.
It may oe a comfort to Mr.
Bryan’s friends to know that
French E. Oliver, who is well
remembered in this city, sees a
jreat opening for Bryan as an
evangelist. He says “Mr. Bry
an of the Twentieth Century
would equal the Haul of the
First Century, as a champion of
the cause of Christ.” Enough
said.
The anti.-saloon league in their
national convention at Des
Moines last week, cut loose J
from the prohibition party for
the reason that in the Nebraska
election this party was untrue
to its principles. While some
Iiichardson county prohibition
ists were true; marry were not.
We have in mind one old fellow
here in town that talks bim
sel 1 black in the face every
spring for the prohibition tick
et, and yet this tall he did
everything in his power to beat
Sheldon and county option. He
wilfully misrepresented what
county option speakers were
talking through the country and
ascribed statements to them
they never dreamed of making,
[t is true he was called good
and hard on the street one day
during tiie compaign, Hut lie
never let up. Next spring lie
will be howling prohibition
again, but if his ’;) party knows
what is best they will gag him
early in the game. And th«*re
are others.
Much of the talk antagonistic
to automobiles that a few ex
citable people have been indulg
ing in recently is very silly.
The world does move and with
its moving will come motor cars
and street cars and perhaps air
ships. The drivers of automo.
biles should exercise every care
to avoid accidents and should
be held strictly accountable for
negligence. But it is well t<>
bear in mind that automobiles
have the same right to the road
as any other vehicle, and that
teams may scare at them in no
sense diminishes this right. The
shocking accideni of week be
fore last is deeply deplored by
everyone and by none more than
the owners of automobiles. The
fearful character of the acci
dent, however, should not* de
prive our people of their sense
of fairness and justice.
The attempted assassination
of Prosecutor Henry at Han
Francisco wasadastardy thing,
but at the same time one cannot
Help sympathizing with the poor
'devil whose mind was so de
ranged by what seems an un
necessary exposure of his past
on the part of Henry. A man
who for seventeen years after
his release from prison had led
an honest life, who had married
and had children, none of whom
knew that he was an ex-convict
is likely to be somewhat
wrought up by the unnecessary
production ot his picture in
convict’s garb before a crowded
court room.
The letter ol President Roose
velt on religious freedom is one
of the great state p ipers of the
age and ranks with Washing
ton's letter to the .lews. The
agitation against Mr. Tatt on
account ot his religious views
was unworthy the American
people and received a just re
nuke. The president said truly
that a man’-, religious belief is
a matter between turn and his
Mauer; a matter of conscience.
The quail season is on and
the sports are beating the tied
ges lor the pretty little things.
If farmers knew what a blessing
this little bird is, if they knew
the insects ,and seeds they put
out of commission, the quail
hunters would get a pretty
warm reception while in quest
of the game.
The subscription list of the

PROBLEM FOR THE MOTHERS
lncon*i*tencies Always Detrimental to
the Proper Training of the
Little Ones.
Many mothers find it difficult to
train a child on certain points, at; 1
often these difficulties arise from
the inconsistent ics of the parents.
‘ A child cannot lie expected to l«e
perfect It truthful if tin* parent.' tell
falsi hoods about little things, which
children notice quickly.
1 f you do not respect a child's
rights, you cannot be surprised if lie
is inconsiderate of you in an at
tempt to look out for himself. If
you take som, thing away from a
child which is rightfully his own.
saying “1 want it," he probably will
take away something from the baby,
saying. “Hut I want it." I>o not
ever teach a child that “might is
right.”
I!' von are not polite to your child
you will have difficulty in teaching
him politeness to others. Efforts to
teach a boy to l>cg pardon when he
humps into anyone will prove fruit
less if you do not say “pardon me”
w 1 on you hump into him. Most
children will feel it wrong that they
have to say “thank you” for some
thing handed them w hen no one says
it to them.
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
"I’ve got to make a speech at the
club tonight. Can you give me a
hint?"
"Yes; just say ‘Flllemupagain!’"
MASCOTS UNIVERSAL.
Mascots have had their place in
the world for many generations,
t ats, as with the ancient Egyptians;
grasshoppers, os in Italy, and vari
ous other specimens of animal life
have in their time been counted as
sacred or lucky by different peoples.
So it is only a continuance of old
customs that has caused baseball
teams to take along an animal or a
small Ixn when they go upon the
diamond to try their skill with other
players. The custom has spread to
such an extent that lo-dav there is
not a vessel in the navy of the t'ni
ted States ili.it has not some kind of
a mascot. This assertion will apply
with almost equal force to the other
navies of the world.
WHY HE WEPT.
During a fashionable wedding
ceremony one of the old family
sen ants was observed to be weening
as though his heart would break.
“Well! Well!" exclaimed a by
stander. "It is so picturesque to see
old servants weeping at a grand
wedding. 1 suppose you are weep
ing because you hate to see the bride
leave the old mansion?"
The old servant brushed his eyes
with his sleeve. “’Taint that, sir."
he sobbed, "b-but the blooming duke
that's won her borrowed 50 cents
from me to get some clean collars
and when I asked for it all I got
was a good booting. ’Xough to
make anybody cry.”
COINCIDENCE.
A lady one day remarked to the
English novelist, Bulwer Eytton,
how odd it was that a doye (Colom
bo) should have been sent out to find
the old world, and Columbus (Co
lombe) should have found the new.
Sir Henry Drummond Wolff says in
his recent book, “Random Recollec
tions,” that Bulwer Eytton immedi
ately replied:
“Yes; and the one came from
Yoah; the other from Genoa.”—

STRICTLY BUSINESS.
‘"What do you think voung Hard
fast did?”
“What?”
“ITe asked Hiss Flirt for the re
fusal of her hand, and when she told
him he could have it, and then ac
cepted Surefhing, he sued her for
breach of contract.”
Letter to Presbyterians
Dear Friends: The last Sab
bath announcement w as made of
a Thanksgiving offering that
would be taken in the chur.h
next Sabbath morning and even
ing It is the intention to make
this offering partake ut the na
ture of a sacrifice to the Lord.
We have enjoyed an exceptional
ly good year, both in our family
and in our church life. While
the newspapers have recorded
mining disasters, railroad wrecks,
fortst and prairie fires, loss o!
crops from floods and also from
draughts, and much crime, yet we
have been specially preserved
therefrom, and have enjoyed a
wonderful freedom from distress
Are we duly grateful to that God
who has kept his promise with
us' Shall we not only give an
offering, but give an offering that
shall be representative of our
selves, one that will in some
measure indicate our appreciation
of our indebtedness to our cove
nant keeping God.
“Bring ye all the tithes into the
store house, that there may be
meat in mine house, and prove
me now herewith, xaith the Lord
of host--, it I will not open you
the windows of heaven, and pour
you out a blessing that there shall
not be room enough to receive it-"

let everyone of you lay by him in

MAPPItST MAN ON EARTH.
The old poem about the king
seeking for the shirt of the happy
man that he might wear it and be
come freed of his cares—and thei
finding the man a beggar who hadn’t
a shirt To his back—might again be
realized if any monarch would wan
der to the village of Suhr, canton
of Argovie, Switzerland, where
lives Johann Schmid. Across the
front of Schmid’s cottage is paints
ed: “Here lives the happiest man
on earth.” Schmid, who is 55 years
old, says to interviewers: “I defy
you to find a happier man than I. I
have never worked, never married,
never been ill, never been anxious
for the future, I eat, drink, sleep
well—what more can you ask ? I
was left $5 a week and this piece of
land on which is my cottage, and
I-have lived the happy man’s phil
osophy ever since without a care
for the outer world.”
NEW LIGHT ON HEREDITY.
More than 3,000 doctors of Hol
land have carried on for a long time
a series of observations bearing on
the laws of heredity and tlie results
are now published by twoof their num
ber, Hermans and Weirsma. They
find that the ability to co-ordinate in
most cases comes from the father.
Forty-four per cent, of the sons of
mathematically minded men inherit
ed the love of scientific pursuits,
while only 14 per cent, of the daugh
ters of such did likewise. The gift
of clever talk and of self-criticism
came from flic father. So did the
traits of good nature and sensitive
ness. Tendencies to crime were re
ferred to the father, also to dementia
and melancholia. Interest in all
kinds of sports were traceable to the
mother usually.
Singing Pigeons.
The queer Chinese change pigeons
Into song birds by fastening whis
tles to their breasts. The wind of
their flight then causes a weird and
plaintive music that is seldom si
lenced in the pigeon-haunted cities of
Peking and Canton.
The Belgians, great pigeon flyers,
fasten whistles beneath the wings of
valuable racing carriers, asserting that
the shrill noise is a sure protection
against hawks and other birds of
prey.
As a similar protection, reeds, emit
ting an odd wailing sound, are filed
to the tail feathers of the dispatch
bearing pigeons of lhe German army
