LADY OF A THOUSAND TEAPoTs.-
o 10 of the latest New York crazes is
the collecting of teapots! A leader OF
society, who started the idea, has al
ready amassed collection of over q
thousand examples, varying in capaci-
ty from three gallons to under thin.
bleful. The material is most hetero.
geneous; copper, silver, glaze, crackle-
every sort of pottery is represented,
and, of course, every color. One pot
represents Buddha; heads, figures,
birds, animals, fishes, beetles and rep
tiles turn out to be receptacles for the
fragrant beverage, some of the prettiest
being tiny swans. In fact, the fair en-
thusiast-who spent some years in ia
pan in pursuance of her taste-has
reason to be proud of her treasurers,
though the endeavors of her friends to
emulate her may succeed in sending up
the prices of teapots to an alarming e4-
tent. Madame Melba's passion for old
furniture, and Lord Walsingham's for
moths and butterflies, sink into insig-
nificance before the colossal hobby of
the Lady of thousand Teapots.

Last summer one of our grandchild

Last summer one of our grandchild-
en- was sick with severe bowel trouble.
Our DOCTORS remedies had failed, then
we tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and diarrhoea Remedy, which gave
very speedy relief. We regard it as
the best medicine ever put on the
market for bowel complaints.-Miss E.
G. Gregory, Frederickstown, Mo. This
certainly is the best medicine ever put
on the market for dysentery, summer
complaint, collie and cholera infantum
in children. 1t never fails to give
prompt relief when used in reasonable
time and the plain printed directions
are followed. Many mothers have ex-
pressed their sincere gratitude for the
cure it has effected. For sale by l..

BRYAN's WELCOME HOME.
Amidst an uproar of booming ca

Amidst an uproar of booming can
non, pealing church bells, screaming
steam whistles and the shouts of twen-
ty thousand people, William J. Bryan.
the democratic nominee for President,
entered Lincoln, the capital city of
Nebraska, yesterday evening. 1t was
an ovation the like of which the peo-
pie of that part of the country never
before witnessed. Half the population
of the city, men, women and children,
was at the depot to welcome him home.
The mayor of the city, the city council
men and citizens of every political be-
lief were at the train. AS far as the
eye could reach were tbronged streets,
crowded windows and enthusiastic
shouters on the roofs of the houses.
From the time Mr.. Bryan and his
family left Kansas City until they reach
ed home there was continuous ova-
ton. AS soon as Mr.. Bryan and
his family alighted from the train
they were driven to their home,
where friends and neighbors had
prepared feast for them. The house
had been elaborately decorated with
flags and bunting, and the lawn was
hung with electric lights. From their
home they were driven in carriage,
escorted by Bryan marching clubs and
military bands to the State house,
where they received the citizens of the
capital city. The great corridor be-
meath the dome of the capitol was
banked up with ferns and tropical
plants. MIR. and Mrs. Bryan stood
bepeath the dome, and the citizens
passed through from North to South
and were presented to them.
When the reception was over MIR. Bryan
went 10 platform erected at the north end
of the State house, where he addressed what
is said to have been the largest congregation
of people ever assembled in Lincoln. His
speech wBs short, for there was drizzlng
ram falling. There was no intr ductory
speech Mr.. Bryan was among his own peo-
ple and needed none. When he came for
ward he was received with applause. His
speech was we'll conceived, abounding in local
references
At the conclusion of his address the crowd
sent up a shout that fairly made the old State
House tremble

ing Gould, writing in Good Words,
says: General Joseph Sabine was in the
battle of Families in 1905, where he
lost the signet ring of his left hand.
Joseph had been third son; according
ly he had borne on his arms mullet
for difference. But owing to the
death of his elder brother he came to
be the representative of his family, and
accordingly, with the point of his knife,
he dug out the mullet. A century and
a quarter after this, his great-grandson,
Edward Sabine, was travelling in Bel
GUM with his wife, and visited Tirle-
mont and the battlefield of Families,
wher, happening to look into the win
dow OF a little local matchmaker, he
was surprise and delighted to see a
ring with his own arms on it-in fact,
the very ring lost by his ancestor. he
at once secured it and the ring is now
in the possession of the family.

ROOMS AT SACRAMENTO.
The State Board of Horticulture Wants
to Move to the State
Capital.

Agreeably to Governor Budd's desire
that the headquarters OF the State Board
of Horticulture should be at Sacramento,
the members of the board have taken meas
ures to secure quarters. One of the officers
went to the capital the other day to look
over the accommodations. No rooms were
found available, and the board secured
quarters in the Mills building for the time
being.
Later the Secretary of State wrote at the
request of Governor Budd to President
Ellwood Cooper, rendering rooms in the
Capitol.
Mr.. Cooper answered that he had sub
mitted the matter to the member by let
ter, and that in his Judgment it would be
unwlse to make any change at that time
because 1t was at a season of the year when
the boards time was most fully occupied.
President Cooper has always favored To-
eating the Offices of the board at the Capt.
toll building at Sacramento, and is now an
ardent supporter of the proposition. The
answers to President Cooper's letter show
that five of the eight constituting the
board favor moving.
Letters have been received from all the
members of the board, in which thew indi-
cate general desire that the headquarters
should be at the State Capitol.
The matter of moving to Sacramento is
soon to be taken up at a coming meeting
of the board. The headquarters will
probably be moved to Sacramento as soon
as the present busy season is over or in
about sixty days. AS this is the planting
season the officers of the board are kept
busy inspecting every shipment of trees
coming into the State by rail, steamer and
sailing vessel.
