CHAPTER V. -
In Miss Flora's-Albuln.
It was the next afternoon that Mr.
Smith inquired his way to the home
i of Miss Flora Blaisdell. He found t
' to be a shabby little cottage on a side
street Miss Flora herself answered
his knock, peering at him anxiously
with her near-sighted eyes.
Mr. Smith lifted his hat.
"Good afternoon, Miss Blaisdell,
he began with a deferential bow. "I
am wondering if you could tell me
something of your father's family"
Miss Flora, plainly pleased, Tut
flustered, steppedback for him to
v enter.
"Oh, fr. Smith, come in, come m!
I'm sure I'm glad to tell you any
thing I know," she beamed, ushering
him into the unmistakably little-used
"front room." "But you really ought
to go to Maggie., I can tell you some
' things, but Maggie's got the, Bible.
jviotner naa it, you Know, um no
all among her things. And, of course,
we had to let it stay, as long as Father
Duff lives. He' doesn't want any
thing 'touched. Poor Maggie she
tried to get 'em for us; but mercvl
she never tried but once. But I've got
some tnings. I've got pictures of a
lot of them, and most of them I
, know quite a lot about.
As she spoke she picked up from
."the table a big fed plush photograph
' album. Seating herself at his side she
opened it, and began to tell him of f he
pictures, one by one.
She'did,, indeed, know "quite a lot"
of most of them. Tintypes, portray
ing stiffly held hands and staring eyes,
V ghostly reproductions of daguerreo
types of stern-lipped men and women,
in oldtime stock and kerchief; photo
graphs of stilted family groups after
xi : : . A T - v.:,."
inc Iie-10-UlUlC-clllu-l.-Mll-iil3 vanvijn
! snapshots of adorable babies with
blurred thumbs and nose never had
Mr. Smith seen their like before.
Politely he listened. Busily, from
time, to time, he iottfid"down a name
or date. Then, su&tenly, as she turn
ed a page, be gave an involuntary
, start He was looking at a pictured
-face, evidently cut from a magazine.
"Why, what who " he stam
mered. "That? Oh, that's Mr. Fulton, the
millionaire, you know." MissFlora's
hands fluttered over the page a little
"importantly, adjusting a corner of the
print. "You must have seen hii pic
ture. It's vbeen everywhere. He's
our cousin, too."-
"Oh, is he?"
' : ."Yes, 'way back somewhere. I can't
tell you just how, only I know he is.
His mother was a Blaisdell. That's
why I've always been so interested in
him, and read everything I could in
the papers and magazines, you know."
"Oh, I see," Mr. John Smith's voice
had become a little uncertain.
"Yes. He ain't very handsome, is
he?" MissJFlora's eyes were musingly
"5xed on thTpicture before her which
was well, perhaps; Mr. John Smith's
face was a study just then,
"Er-n-no, he isn't." '
. ''But he's turrbily rich, I s'pose. I
wonder how it feels to have so much
money."
There being no reply to this. Miss
Flora went on, after a moment.
"It must1 be awful nice to buy
what you want; I mean, without fret
ting about how much it costs. I never
did. But I'd like to."
"What would you do if you could
if you had themoney, I mean?"
queried Mr. Smith, almost eagerly.
Miss Flora laughed.
"Well, there's three things I know
I'd do. They're silly, ot course, but
they re what I want. It's a phony
graph, and to see Niagara Falls, and
to go into Noell's resairant and oj
der what I want without even look
y ing at the prices after 'em. Now
ycu're laughing at me 1"
"Laughing? Not a bit of it!"
There was a curious elation in Mr,
Smith's voice. "What's more. I hope
you'll get them some t:me."
. Miss Flora sighed-. Hef face looked ;
suddenly pinched and old. :
"I shan't. I couldn't, you know
Why, if I had the money. I shouldn't
''pend it nrt for them things. I'd
, e needing shoes or a new dress
4.nd I couldn't be so rich I wouldn't
lotice what the prices was of what4
I ate. But, then, I don t believe any
body's that, not even him." She
jointed to the picture still open be
fore them. '
"K'o?" Mr. Smith, his eyes bent up
n the picture, was looking thought
ful. He had the air of a man to
whom has come a brand new, some
what disconcerting idear
iss Flora, glancing from the man
o the picture and back again, gave a
ik'i'ph exclamation. ,
"There, now I know who it is that
oii remind me of. Mr. Smith. It's
lim Mr. Fulton, there."
"Eh! What?" Mr. Smith looked not
little startled. '
"Something about the eyes and
lose." Miss Flora was still interest
edly comparing the man and the pic
- ture. "But, then, that am't so 6trange.
You're a Blaisdell yourvelf. Didn't
you say you was a Blaisa:ll?"
"Er-y-yes, oh, yes. Im t Blais
dell," nodded Mr. ' Smith hastily.
"Very likely I've got the er Blais
dell nose. Eh?" Then he ttirned a
leaf of the album abruptly, decidedly.
"And who may this be?" he demand
ed, pointing to a tintype of a bright
faced young girl.
"That? Oh, that's my cousin,
Crace, when she was 16. Sh died:
but she was a wonderful girl. I'll
tell you about her." '
"Yes, do," urged Mr. Smith, and
even the closest observer, watching
his face, could not have said that he
was not absolutely interested in Miss
Flora's story of "my cousin Grace "
It was not until the last leaf of the
album was reached that they came
upon the picture of a small girl, with
big, hungry eyes looking out from be
neath long lashes.
"That's Mellicent where you're
boarding, you know when she was
little." Miss Flora frowned disap
provingly. "But it's horrid, poor
child!"
"But she looks so so sad," mur
mured Mr. Smith.
"Yes, I know. She always did,"
Miss Flora sighed and frowned again.
She hesitated, then burst out, as if
irresistibly impelled from within.
"It's only just another case of never
having what you want when you
want it, Mr. Smjth. And it isn't 'cause
they're poor, eitherV They ain't poor
not like me, I mean. Frank s al
ways done well, and he's been a good
provider; but it's my sister-in-law
her way, I mean. Not that I'm say
ing anything against Jane. I ain't.
i She's a good woman and she's very
kind to me. She's always say'ng
what she'd do for me if she only
had the money. She's a good house
keeper, too, and her house is as neat
as wax. But it's just that she never
thinks she can use anything she's got
till it's so out of date she don't want
it. I dressmake for her, you see, so
I know about her sleeves and skirts,
you know. And if she ever does wear
a decent thing she's so afraid it will
rain she never takes any comfort
in it!"
"Well, that is unfortunate."
"Yes, ain't it? And she's brought
up that poor child the same way.
Why, from babyhood Mellicent never
had her rattles till she wanted blocks,
nor her blocks till she wanted dolls,
nor her dolls rill she was big enough
for beans! And that's what made the
poor child always look so wall-eyed
and hungry. She was hungry even
if she did get enough to eat."
"Mrs. Blaisdell probably believed in
er economy," hazarded Mr. Smith.
"Economy! My starts, I should think
shedid! But, there, I ought not to
have said anything, ot course. It s a
good trait. I only wish some other
folks I could mention had more of it.
There's Jim's wife, for instance. Now,
if she's got ten cents, she'll spend
IS and 5 more to show how she
spent it. She and Jane ought to be
shaken up in a bag together. Why, Mr.
Smith, Jane doesn't let herself enjoy
anything. She's always keeping it for
a better time. Though sometimes I
think she does -enjoy just seeing how
far she can make a dollar go. But
Mellicent don't, nor Frank; and it's
hard, on them."
"I should say it might be." Mr.
Smith was looking at the wistful eyes
under the long lashes.
'"Tis; and 't ain't right, I believe.
There is such a thing as being too
economical. I tell Jane she'll be like
a story I read once about a man who
pinched and saved all his life, not
even buying peauuts, though he just
doted on 'em. And when he did get
rich, so he could buy the peanuts, he
bought a big bag the first thing. But
he didn't eat 'em. He hadn't got any
teeth left to chew'em with."
"Well, that was a catastrophe!"
laughed Mr. Smith as he pocketed
his notebook and rose to his feet.
"And now I thank you very much,
Miss Blaisdell, for the help you've
been to me."
"Oh, you're quite welcome, indeed
you arc,
Blaisdell.
Mr.
J"
Smith," beamed
Miss
"It's done me good, just to
talk to you aboul all these folks and
pictures. ,I've enjoyed it. I do get
lonesome sometimes, all alone, so!
and I ain't so busy as' I wish I was,
always. But I'm afraid, I haven't
helped you much just this." "
"Oh, yes, you have perhaps more
than you think," smiled the man, with
an odd look in his eyes.
"Have I? Well, I'm glad, I'm sure.
And don't forget to go to Maggie
now. She'll havt a lot to tell you.
Poor Maggie! And she'll be so glad to
show you!" .
"All right, thank you; I'll surely in
terview Missi Maggie," smiled the
man in goodby.
He had almost said "ptor" Maggie
himself.' though why she should be
poor Maggie had come to be an all
trial and no mis
doesn't sceni to
would be 'poor Jane with you, all
right!"
"Yes, I know." His wife sighed
complacently.
"Father Duff's a
take. But Maggie
mind." v
"Mind! Aunt Maggie's a saint
Jthat's what she is!" It was Mellicent
who spoke, hor young voice vibrant
with suppressed feeling. "She's the
dearest thing ever! There couldn't be
anybody better than Aunt Maggie!"
Nothing more was said just then,
but in the evening, later, after Melli
cent had gone to walk with young
Pennock, and her father has gone
back down to the store, Mrs. Blaisdell
took up the matter of "l'oor Maggie"
again.
"I've been thinking what you said,"
she began,, "about our calling her
'poor Maggie,' and I've made up my
mind it's because we're all so sorry
for her. -You see, she'., been so un
fortunate, as I said. Foor Maggie!
I've so often wished there wai some
thing I could do for her. Of course,
if we a only had money but we
haven't; so' I can't. And even money
wouldn't take away her father, either.
Oh, mercy! I didn't mean that really
not the way it sounded," broke oft
Mrs. Blaisdell, in shocked apology. "I
absorbing question with him. He had i only meant that she'd have her father
been tempted once to ask Miss Flora, I to care for, just the same."
'
She smiled brightly. "Oh, you're Mr. Smith," 6he said.
but something had held him back.
That evening at the supper table,
however, in talking with Mrs. Jane
Blaisdell, the question came again to
his lips;, and this time it found ut
terance. Mrs. Jane herself had introduced
Miss, Maggie's name, and had said an
inconsequential something about her
when Mr. Smith asked:
"Mrs. Blaisdell, please may I ask?
I must confess to a great curiosity
as to why Mis3 Duff is always 'poor
Maggie."
Mrs. Blaisdell laughed pleasantly.
Vhy really, I don't know," she
answered, "only it just comes natural,
that's all. Poor Maggie's been so un
fortunate. There! I did it again, didn't
I? That only goes to show how we
all do it, unconsciously."
Frank Blaisdell, across the table,
gave a , sudden emphatic sniff.
"Humph! Well,! guess if you had
to live with Father Duff, Jane, it
"He's something of a trial, I take
it, eh?" smiled Mr. Smith.
"Trial! I should say he was. Toor
Maggie,! How ever she endures it, I
can't imagine. Of course, we call
him Father Duff, but .he's really not
any relation to us I mean to Frank
and the rest. But their mother mar
ried him when they were children,
and they never knew their own father
much, so he's the only father they
know. When their mother died Mag
gie had just entered college. She
was 18, and such a pretty girl! I
knew the family even then. Frank
was justv beginning to court me. -
"Well, of course Maggie had to
come home right away. None of the
rest wanted to take care of him, and
Maggie had to. There was another
Duff sister then a married sister but
she's died since but she wouldn't
take him, so Maggie had to. Of
course, none of the Blaisdells (want
ed the care of him and he Svasn't
their father, anyway. Frank was
wanting to marry me, and Jim and
Flora were in school and wanted to
stay there, of course. So Maggie
came. Poor girl! It was real hard
for her. She walso ambitious, and
so foitd of books. But she came, and
went right into the home and kept it
so Frank and Jim and Flora could
Njve there just the same as wheiwtcjr
mother was alive. And she had to
do all the work, too. They were
too poor to keep a girl. Kind of
hard, wasn't it? and Maggie only
18?"
"It was, indeed!" Mr. Smith's lips
came together a bit grimly.
"Well, after a time Frank and Jim
married, and- there was only J-lora
and Father Duff at hoin. Poor Mag
gie fried then to go to college again.
She. was over 21, and supposed Ube
her own mistress, of course. bhe
found a place where she could work
and pay her way through college,
and. Flora said she'd keep the house
and take care of Father Duff. But,
dear me; it wasn't a month before
that ended, and Maggie had to come
home again. Flora wasn't strong,
and the work fretted her. Besides,
she neve could get along with Fa
ther Duff, and she was trying to learn
dressmaking, too.
"She stuck it out till she got sick,
though, then, of course, Maggie had
to come back.
"Well, by Jove!" ejaculated Mr.
Smith. t
"Yes, wasn't it too bad? Poor
Maggie, she tried it twice again. She
persuaded her father to get a girl".
But that didn't work, either. The
first girl and her father fought like
cats and dogs, and the last time she
got one her lather was taken sick,
and again she had to come home.
Some way, it's always been that way
with poor Maggie. No sooner does
she reach out to take something than
it's snatched away, just as she thinks
she's got it. Why, there was her
father's cousin, George he was go
ing to help her once. But a streak of
bad luck hit him at just that minute,
and he gave out."
"And he never tried again?"
"No. He went back to Alaska then.
Hasn't ever been back since. He's
done well, too, they say, and I al
ways thought he'd send back some
thing; but he never has. There was
some trouble, I believe, between him
and Father Duff at the time he went
to Alaska, so that explains it, prob
ably, Anyway, he's never clone any
thing for them. Well, when he gave
out, Maggie just gave up college then,
and settled down to take care of her
father, though I guess she's laways
studied some at home; and I know
that for years she didn't give up hope
but that jiie could go some time. But
I guess she has now. Poor Mag
gie!" '
"How old is she?" ,
"We!!, let me see 43, 44 yes, sha's
45. She had her 43d birthday here
I remember I gave her a handker
chief for a birthday present when
she was helping me take care of Mel
licent through the pneumonia; and
that was two years ago. She used to
come here and to Jim's and Flora's
days at a time; but she isn't quite so
free as she was Father Duffs worse
now, and she don't like (o leave him
nights much, so she can't cbme to us
and, of course, nobody would htitik of
so often. See?'
"Yes, I see." There was a queer
something in Mr. Smith's voice. "And
just what is the matter with Mr.
Duff?"
"Matter!" Miss Jane Blaisdell gave
a short laugh and shrugged her shoul
ders. "Everything's the matter
with Father Duff! Oh, it's nerves,
mostly, the doctor says, and there are
some other things long names that
I can't remember. But, as I said,
everything's the matter with Father
Duff. He's one of those men where
ther isn't anything quite right. Frank
says he's got so he just objects to
everything on general principles. If
it's blue, he says it ought to be black,
you know. And, really, i don't know
but Frank's right. How Maggie
stands him I don't see. Why, she
even gave up her lover years ago, for
him. She wouldn't leave her father,
and, of course, nobody would think of
taking him into the family, when he
wasn't born into it, so the affair was
broken off. 1 don't know, really, as
Maggie cared much. Still, you can't
tell. She never was one to carry her
heart on her sleeve. Poor Maggie!
I've always so wished I could do
something for her!
"There how I have run on! But
then, you asked, atld you're interested,
1 know, and that's what you're here
for to fiiM out about the Blaisdells."
"To to f-fmd out "stammered
Mr. Smith, grown suddenly very red
"Yts, for your book, I mean."
"Oh, yes of course; tor my book,"
agreed Mr. Smith, a bit hastily. He
had the guilty air of a small boy who
has almost been caught in a raid on
the cooky jar.
"And although poor Maggie isn't
really a Blaisdell herself, she's nearly
one, and they've got lots of Blaisdell
records don there among Mother
Blaisdell's things, you know. You'll
want to see those."
"Yes; yes, indeed. I'll want to
see thbse, of course," declared Mr.
Smith. s, v

Charles W. Bryan
Calls
Governor Neville
To the Voterc of Nebraska: '
As governor I would prevent the state employes from taking
part in1 politics, who now, to the number of upwards of fifty men, are
going up and down the state of Nebraska on the state's time and at
the state's expense .urging the re-election of their chief.
A candidate cannot have the support of the profiteer during the
campaign and be in a position to protect the people after election. -
Governor Neville co-operated with the state senate in the spe
cial session of the Nebraska legislature in defying the will of the
people as expressed by 30,000 majority, and because he was opposed
to" a ratification resolution at the recent Hastings convention, and is
still opposed to ratification.
The people of the state are warned to be on their guard against
attempted deception in the closing days of the campaign by the un
scrupulous special interest press.
The grain elevator combine is robbing the fanners of millions of
dollars each year by ruying their corn and wheat at one grade and
selling it as a Jiiher grade. Governor Neville is doing nothing to pro
tect the Nebraska farmers, and promises nothing Why? A state
bonded grain commissioner could protect them.
The packing house combine is robbing the farmer of millions of
dollars, according to the federal government reports, and the federal
government suggested, that the farmer should'have a representative at
each live stock market. Governor Neville has done nothing to protect
them and promises nothing. Why? A state 'bonded live stock com
missioner could protect them. "
Secretary of Interior Lane has been urging the development of
the water power of our rivers and streams so as to reduce the price of
light, power. and heat to the people and release the large quantities
of coal that are so badly needed in war industries. Our governor has
made no move to develop the water power and promises nothing. Why?
The federal government last summer investigated some wholesale J
produce dealers of Nebraska, and fund that by cornering the market
on foodstuffs, they made enormous profits amounting to more than 100
per cent on the comnanies' capital stock. The federal govenment rec
ommended to the STATE government that it start criminal prosecu
tion under the state anti-monopoly act known as the Junkin law, but
no effort has been made by the STATE government to protect the peo
ple in Nebraska against organized plunder by the food dealers, and the
governor promisee nothing. Why? A state trade commission is the
remedy.
.Secretary of Agriculture Houston has recommended the establish
ment of public 'markets to bring the producer and consumer closer to
gether so as to reduce the cost of living; municipal markets to handle
vegetables, produce, fish and meat the same as our allies are providing
to protect their home foIks.tPur governor has taken no action to protect
the consumers against the high cost of living, and promises nothing.
Why?
Secretary Lane ljas been trying to interest the public in making
provision for tho care and employment of our soldiers when they re
turn home. The STATE government should, make prpvision for voca
tional training scboqls for maimed and crippled soldiers and provision
for finding employment for all returning Nebraska soldiers. Our gov-
ernor has taken no interest in this humane, patriotic and urgently
needed" work. Why?
The legislative program outlined by me is not "experimental. It
is all being used in some states or in some countries to protect the
people against grafters. "Will Governor Neville tell the people what
part, if any, of my legislative program the people of Nebraska are not
entitled to or what part of the program, if any, would not be good for
them to navei
1 , c v ' - ;
Will he dare tell them that President Wilson does not want the
state of Nebraska to help him protect the people against the profiteer?
Will Governor Neville tell President Wilson why the STATE gor
ernment has given him no help against the profiteer during th past
two years or why he was opposed at the recent Hastings convention
to promising tho president any help during the next two years?
As governor I would not permit the "work or fight act" to be
used by the profiteers to "work" the public, or by the special Inter
ests to "fight" the people who ask the STATE government for relief.
The question is,, is the Nebraska STATE government to be used
to support President Wilson in protecting 'Nebraska people, or la it
not? ' y r
Is your candidate under obligation to or supported by the special
interests, or is he not? ; ,
Has the administration of Governor Neville tried, to curb the
profiteer? If not, why not? '
Has Governor Neville any specific remedies to protect the, peo
ple so as to keep up the morale of (our soldiers at the front and td
keep up the morale of the second line of defense the pcfople back
home? If so, what? ' "
I challenge my opponents to publish any act, word or communi
cation of rrline in this campaign showing any misrepresentation de
ception, dishonesty or lack of patriotism.
A hundred per cent American in" war times is one who practice
the patriotism which he preaches. '
If nominated and elected governor of Nebraska, I will use the en
tire resources, of the state in loyally supporting every plan andug- ,
gestion of the commandef-in-chief of the army to win the war. I '
will enforce every law Tf this great commonwealth.
). Relieve Nebraska people are loyal to the core., I would prompt
ly and adequately punish any disloyalty that might be found. I would
faithfully carry out the earnest appeal bf President Wilson under date
of July 26, to all governors, to take the initiative in preventing mol
rule. ' y
Waving the flag and-oratorically pulling the tail feathers of the"
American eagle are not complete evidence of one's patriotism. f
1 would enforce the'state laws against monopoly, in restraint of
trade and urge the enactment of new legislation necessary to prevent
profiteering. 1
I refer he people of Nebraska V my record as mayor of Lincoln
in destroying monopoly control and in reducing the cost of living as a
guarantee that I will carry out my platform pledges if nominated and
elected governor of Nebraska
I am a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor be-"
cause the present goyernor'is clearly out of harmony with President
Wilson and with public opinion in Nebraska on the moral and eco
nomic legislation necessary to win the war.
People who believe alike should vvote together.
I will appreciate the Vote of etery loyal Nebraskan who desires .
to help me help President Wilson protect -the producers and "consum
ers of the state from the 'unscrupulous profiteer, so as to reduce the
cost of living, and who will help me help President Wilson unite the
