'TThedemocratB of Iincoln have re
Msninated Mayor Brown, and the Lin
coin 8tar, one of the leading republi
can papers, supports him for re-election.
In municipal elections, party
politics should really not figure. Of
course, there are undoubtedly many
republicans in Lincoln who might
make just as good officials as Mayor
Brown, but if a man has served the
people mithfully and acceptably one
they usually think he deserves
In a speech made in New York last
weak, William Jennings Bryan said
that he believed in the initiative and
, that the democratic plat-
endorse it, and that he
would drive out" of the democratic
party any leader that did not believe
in the initiative and referendum, and
that if the democratic platform of
1906 would not adopt it, they would
have no trouble in driving him out of
the parly. Up to now the socialists
and the populists were the only people
that advocated the initiative and refer
endum. The balance of us realise
that when it comes to a bond election
or matters of that kind, it is all right
fat to get the exact wishes of the peo
ple, but this great country is too large
to hold an election every time we want
to change, or to promote or to create
anything.
Bryan claims that Boosevelt has
stolen hk thunder, that the republi
cans are now advocating hk theories,
and he k trying hard to find a distinct
ksne which the republicans would
appose. So when he came back from
Europe last year, in.hk first speech in
Hew York, he advocated the govern
tiJneut ownership of all railroads, but
there was such a dissent, such a pro
tost in hk own party against the doc
trine, especially from southern leaders,
that in km than ten days he materially
modified hk views and said that after
the controlling of the railroads by the
government had failed, he would be
sv government ownership of railroads.
And Mr. Bryan will have to modify
hk views on the initiative and refer
endum, or in spite of the apparent
certainty of hk nomination, the demo
cratic leaders will surd u defeat him,
either for the nomination, or certainly
tor the election.
Then are many people who believe
that no state law should actually go
into esnet until such law shall have
been published and printed, that there
should be no emergency clause to any
except m the very rarest
that even the railroads should
amir chance, Thev think m
lang as such thickly settled states as
Maw Ysrk, Pennsylvania and Illinois
have no two cent railroad law, Ne
sjraska should at least have given the
a chance to properly read-

During Dr. Bryan's absence in the
with hk sample case of specifics
for all ilk the body politic k heir to,
the Commoner has eliminated him
from the Ikt of pretidentialcandidates
in a moment of inspiration.. Injui
ingenious editorial the availability of
southern men for the democratic nom
ination which Dr. Bryan covets as an
entry in the free for all competition k
considered. It k a handsome tribute
to the number and quality of the logi
cal candidates in the south. They are
described as statesmen and bidden to
stand side by side for review by the
national convention. "Let us enter
the convention with an eye single to
the party," says the Commoner. The
sentiment of antagonism to anything
that looks like a monopoly of virtue
by any individual candidate, active or
receptive, pervades the article. All
the possibilities from Acoomac to
Deaf Smith county look alike to the
Commoner. No attempt k made to
handicap them on account of age or
previous condition of servitude in the
cause of democracy; all start from
scratch. - It k submitted with the
greatest frankness that the selection
must be entered upon not with
the view "of gratifying any man's
ambition or complimenting any state
or portion of the union," but with a
desire to una me man who voices me
sentiments of the rank and file of the
party." etc. If the most available
man k a southern man let the candi
date be from the south by all means.
Nothing could be handsomer. -At the
same time were k a care not to shut
the door of hope, for it k added: "The
same k true of the north, the east, the
west" But right in the body of the
article, caught in the thick of a para
graph where me blue pencil missed it,
were k a fly in the ointment: "There
are many democrats in the south who
would poll the full democraticstrength
of the norm." As Dr. Bryan has
never been able to poll the full demo
cratic strength of the north he by
plain inference k withdrawn from the
list of entries. ''As at present advised"
by the Commoner he k out of the race.

Jasper Mason, who was pardoned
about two weeks ago, by vote of the
legislature, had served time as a pris
oner in the Anamosa penitentiary for
31 years for the crime of murder. As
Mason teUs the story, which k believ
ed to be true, he and a man going by
the name of Woods, but whose true
name was Monday, were taaveling to
wards Des Moines. It was during the
Hayes and Tilden presidential cam
paign, and one was a Hayes man and
one a Tilden man. Politick! discus
sion between them was pretty hot dar
ing the entire journey. They indulg
ed quite freely in liquor, and at De
Soto, had their bottle refilled. About
two miles out of De Soto they camped
and their discussions increased in
bitterness, Mason claims that finally
Woods came at him with a knife, and
in self defence he shot him wfth a re
volver, from the effects of which
Woods died five days afterwards. As
Mason owned the team and convey
ance, he took it and continued hk
journey to Jasper county where he
was at work. The next morning
Woods walked a mile and a half to a
farm house, where he died. He made
some statements to the farmer, Van
Moeter, that agreed with Mason's story
but on the trial in Adel it was ruled
out on the ground that he Mas not in a
physical condition to be responsible
for what he said. As the trial was
two years before the passage of the
allowing defendants to testify in their
own behalf, there was nothing for the
jury to do but to find him guiltv of
manslaughter, me punishment tor
which was imprisonment for life. But
after 31 years, the longest time any
one ever served time in the United
States save one, he k pardoned, -and
at the age of 54 years k going to
South Dakota to take up a homestead
and commence life again as a farmer.

There k an epidemic of beggars on
the road just now. Deaf, dumb, halt,
blind, with their ailments made as
conspicuous as possible, are coming
along with regular order. That fact
that they can pay their way, live well,
drink good whkkey, smoke high priced
cigars, andTspend money freely and
still come out ahead k proof that peo
ple will give to them. Thk k the
wont sort of travestry on charity to
such seople. Not one of them, k safe
to say, k worthy of your gifts. A
worthy unfortunate k provided for at
hk home in thk Christian land, and
has no need of going about the land
begging, and they would not do it if
they could not make more and have a
better time than by staying at home
and doing such as they might. Giving
to such people k worse man burning
your money up. How much better to
send it to some suffering people who
have not American advantages, and
whose sufferings cannot be relieved
at home. Probably the three or four
beggers who have struck Ordinthe
past fortnight gathered vup a hundred
dollars or more. The money was
doubtless spent in dissipation and so
worse than wasted. How much better
to have sent that money to starving

AN INTERLUDE
HE instant the
tall young man
stepped Into the
room he was
aware that dan
ger signals were
flying. The girl
in the pink gown
wore her eye
brows in a
straight line and
one foot tapped
the floor.
"1 was down
town this morn
ing," she began.
"Were your In
quired the young
man, pleasantly, taking a chair near
her.
Quite as though it were accidental
she moved to another chair across
the room from him. "I thought you
said that you were dreadfully busy
these days," she resumed.
"I am," said the young man, heart
ily. "Up to my eyes in work. That
case " He broke off as he found
himself withering under her look of
scorn.
"There's no need of going into de
tails about the way you are working"
she flashed at him, "because I saw
you with my own eyes walking down
Michigan avenue. If you could have
seen how foolishly you were gazing
at her, Harry, you you'd have been
ashamed of yourself. I suppose there
is something about hair of that color
that goes to a man's head, but I
should think you could tell bleach
and paint when you saw them."
The young man's face had ex
pressed emotions ranging from sur
prise to indignation. "That color is
real!" he said, stoutly. "And so is
her complexion, if you want to know."
The young woman shrugged her
shoulders pityingly. Then she at
tacked again as a fresh thought
struck her. '
"You seem to be awfully well ac
quainted with her," she said. "You
never spoke about her to me when
you told me of all the girls you knew.
Danger Signals Were Flying.
Why-I couldn't believe it rwhen you
wouldn't take time to go to the mati
nee with me. Then to find you out
for a morning stroll as if you had
all the time on earth! But, then, I'm
only engaged to you, so I suppose I
shouldn't expect"
"Do you mean to say," broke In the
young man, "that you're actually mad
because"
The young woman drew herself up.'
1 am not angry," she said with feet
lag, "but I am decidedly hurt I
should never let myself lose my tem
per over anything so ridiculous. You
you have plainly shown that you
don't care for me when you win de
ceive me so."
"Do I gather," said the young man,
"that I am to be cast into outer dark'
,ness because you saw me walking
down the street with another girl
iwhose hair happened to be blonde?"
! "W-w-wen," wept the girl in pink,
"It goes deeper than that! That
sounds so so simple! It shows how
.dangerously clev-clever you are! I
'suppose you'have been telling me lots
of things all along that weren't any
more true than that! Of course it la
true that you were walking down the
.street with a girl but that doesnt
jexpress the additional fact that you
were beaming with Joy and were posi

"Who who was that girl?" she
demanded, fiercely.
The young man gave a sigh of re

"Why didn't you ask that beforer
he murmured. "She is my brother'a

LONG-WINDED BORES
PEW STORY-TELLERS KNOW
WHEN TO QUIT.
General Porsjetralness of the Fact
That "Brevity Is the Seul of Wit"
Widow Badett a Good
Example.
"A little party of as tie other night
at one of the clubs endured an Inflic
tion in the shape of a atory teller
who did not know when to quit," said
a member of one of the prominent
New Tork clubs. "If he had been able
to make a serial of bis narrative,
with the thrilling' points at the chap
ter ends and given it in broken doses,
one or two chapters at a time, his.
story might not have been so hard to
endure, but the trouble was that
he had to tell It all and all about It,
and as he was a man whom no one
would care to offend, hia listeners
were outwardly placid and inwardly
profane.
"Memory for detail Is an excellent
thing to have if you are In a business
Involving a great many small mat
ters, and, indeed, most callings are of
this character, but the man or woman
whose memory is so tenacious that
It brings up by association a host of
particulars clustered round an event,
and Insists on telling them all, Isxme
of the worst nuisances known to so
ciety. In 'Flush Times in Mississip
pi,' an old book of southern river sto
ries, there is a character endowed
with such a memory and his acquaint
ances sometimes inflicted him on a
newcomer by inducing him to tell the
'earthquake atory.' The principal fea
ture of this narrative was the fact
that nobody bad ever heard the end of
It, for there were so many little stor
ries hanging to it that had to be told
first, and the narrator wandered out
of the main road into so many devi
ous jpaths and byways that something
always happened to break off the
story before the denouement was
reached. While the yarn waa
progressing the company would slip
out one by one and leave the stranger
to his fate.
"The Widow Bedott Is a first-class
example of one of these particular
memories at its best, or, rather, worst,
for she could not tell how the late
lamented said We are all poor crit
ters' without also telling about a
thousand other things that occurred
to her while jogging along toward the
end of her Journey.
"Most of us have Widow Bedotts in
our own acquaintances, some of us
have heard stories like the earth
quake atory, but nobody ever listened
long to a Widow Bedott or the teller
of a never-ending story without won
dering how people like these ever get
through life at all, or how they suc
ceed In telling anything. The fault
Is one of mental perspective; to them
all occurrences are of equal impor
tance, all objects are of the same
slxe and so they find it impossible' to
make a selection, and try to tell
everything."
Far Brittle Nails.
Where the nails are brittle soak
them every night -in a little warm
olive oil; let It soak In and then rub
on vaseline, which, is one of the best
applications to make the nails nice. It
softens the cuticle around the base
so it can be pushed back and the half
"moons" perfectly shown.
A nail brush should be medium,
bristles neither too stiff nor too soft;
if it is used every time the hands are
washed there will be no need for the
usual "digging" under the nails with
a sharp inatrument A blunt-pointed
orange wood atlck Is. the best, but a
bit of soft old linen used on one hand
with the nails of the other should be
-ramcient. It is the use of hard steel
points on the nails, under and around
them, that makes them all the harder
to keep clean because they are rough
ened. As little polishing powder
should be used as possible; it has the
effect of maUag the nans thin and
brittle.

USE ELECTRIC POTATO PEELER.
Made at West Paint Without
Touch ef a Hand.
The Irst thins which attracts one's
atteation is the electric potato peeler
a tublike machine with revolvtag
knives.
A bushel of potatoes is thrown ia
at a time, a button la pressed and in
the space of ive minutes the tubers
fall into another tub neatly peeled.
As four or five barrels of potatoes are
used every day the labor savins of
the apparatus will be readily under
stood. One hundred and Ifteen loaves of
bread are baked every 24 hours, and
nearly let rolls, with occasloaally 50
spice cakes. Pies are used oace a
week and 125 are baked.
There la an. electric bread-mixing
machine, with funnels through which
the flour, water and yeast may flow
according to the wish of the baker.
The loaves are also cut and rolled by
machinery, the whole baking betas
done without a hand touching the
bread until it comes from the oven
and is placed .on the cooling racks.
An electric dough divider is used
for cutting rolls. The dough Is
thrown on an iron plate, and a cutter
drops, separating it into pieces of the
size required for each rolL These
are quickly transferred to a pan aad
are set to rise.
The eggs used in cooking are beat
en by electricity, and the silver used
In the dining-room Is polished with
a brush run by the same motive
power.
Dishes are washed by placing them
in a wire rack and touching a lever
which causes the rack to sink into
scaldtag water, where the dishes are
cleaned. Another lever lifts them,
and they are turned oat on trays to
dry.
Ice Is made ia the basement, aad
cornea from the freezer in 50-pouad
cakes.
The steriliizng machine is an elec
tric apparatus, and with its aid 18C
gallons of milk are sterilized every
morning. The milk is poured into a
large can aad heated to 180 degrees,
which kills the bacteria, and ta less
than three-fourths of a minute it is
cooled to 38 degrees. Leslie's

COURT TRIALS OF ANIMALS.
In OMen Times They Were Arraigned

The decision of the southwestern

a monkey may use the pavement if
he causes no obstruction, reminds us
that, down to a comparatively late pe

mals were considered amenable to the
laws. Domestic saimals were tried
In the common criminal courts; wild

Human skin can be prepared, tan

Made an Impreaalew.
The witty vicar of a country parish
in the north of England was often
pained at the apparent apathy dis
played by members of hia congrega
tion towards matters of religion. He
did his best to impress them for good,
but somehow he seemed to make very
unsatisfactory progress. One day, aa
he was out for a ride on horseback ta
bis parish, the horse made a sudden
plunge, and he found himself lying
full length on his back ta a ditch
bottom. Fortunately, it waa soft,
otherwise the consequences nUght
have been more serious. He got up
and, taking a survey of the place, ex
claimed as he walked away:
"Well, there is at least one place
In my parish now Where I have left
aa Impression."
