BRYAN OF NEBRASKA.

I heard Bill Bryan's campaign cry,
The same old melancholy song
And in my heart l questioned why
He left the State and stayed so long.
Just when the iercest fight was on
Democracy had ever known,
The bravest of the brave was gone
And Phelps was forced to fight alone.
When in the thckest of the fray
Phelps charged with valor on the foe,
Then Bryan's breath at Monterey
Was blowing at so much blow.
In vain I plead for his return,
And wrote to him. Dear friend, alas,
Our camp fires can no longer burn;
There's no one here to furnish gas"
He came, but passed us by with scorn,
And soon his soul-nspirng voice,
Far-reaching as a dinner horn,
Was lifted high in Illinois.
The sequel is too sad to tell,
How deep the draught of grief and sham
Our silver hopes have gone lowell
No matter; Bryan is to blame.

FORTUNES IN BUCKLES.
A Diamond Garter Clasp Which Is
Valued at S11N.


There is fad about buckles, as there
is about everything else. For example,
the favorte design for the society rose
bud is the clover leaf Just now. Delicate
silk elastic of pink or blue is used for
the garter, and finished off with a bow
much larger than formerly, and pair Of
cute little tassels besides
Brides choose the sunflower design with
preference, and always wear these buckles
on white silk elastic garters, while the ma
irons taste runs to heraldic designs in rich
enamel, with cardinal, black OF yellow gar
ters.
All the best elastics are made in
France, but this country produces now
some medium grades that are very good
Fortunes may be expended upon garter
buckles, and there is a pair Of garters that
a wealthy brewer gave to a woman of his
acquaintance about three years ago. The
buckles are solid gold, inlaid with diamonds
forming the American eagle The trinket
cost the handsome sum of $3.50

A PLEA.

"Give me kiss" she pleading said.
He heard, unmoved, her warm sweet suing,
Although to her he was not wed
Nor had he even come a-wooins.
"Give me a kiss Her lips in shape.
To tempt a saint did thus beseech him,
While he seemed planning an escape
To some place where she could not reach
him.
"Give me a kiss. Just one-I pray
Her fond insistence i'll did serve her,
He looked askance and moved away,
Scared and disgusted with her fervor.
'Give ME a kiss" Each coaxing word
But helped anew to fright and pain him.
Because he was her brand new bird
And she was starting in to train him.

WOMANHOOD.

Dimples heightened into lines
Lines of beauty still
Silently portraying strength
In a woman's will.
Brow that sorrows lips have kissed,
Tranquil now and kind;
Stamped with quiet majesty,
Felt, but underlined.
Eyes that charm and fetter one
With a nameless bond,
Borrowing the hidden power
OF the soul beyond.
Power to live and keep the heart
Undefiled and pure.
Power to smile when tears would start,
Suffer and endure.
Happiness, subdued but deep
Kin to joys above;
Found in sacrific of self.
Born of boundless love.
Bending life's best energies
To the highest good;
Gentle beautiful. sublime
This 10 womanhood.

The Smiling Woman.

It Is easy enough 70 be pleasanI
When life flows by like song,
But the woman worth while Is the woman

When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test Of the heart is trouble.
And it always comes with years,
And the smile that is worth the praise of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.

From Two Sources.

That there is TO be built a rail-
road from White Chalk Cliffs goes
without saying, but whether it is
to tap the Iron Mountain at Full
ton or the Texarkana & TT. Smith
railroad at Ashdown, remains to be
seen. The Fulton people are max
ing an effort to capture it, as are
also those living at Ashdown. We
clip the two following items from
the Ashdown Herald:
We will soon have another rail-
rOad-the AshdOwn and White
Cliffs r. r.
]. n. Daugherty, locating engi-
neer for the White Cliff tap, has
been interviewed and he speaks
quite fayOrably of AshdOwn. In
fact, there is little or no chance
for US to loose the tap now.
We think the line viii go to where
the greatest inducements are offer
ed and Ashdowu has no dead cinch
on getting the road, should the
Gould interest take it into their
head that they needed a feeder in
that part of the country What
Ashdown needs TO do is to clinch a
bargain as soon as possible and get
the dirt broEen and the ties strung
out on the road bed. We shall
watch the fight and see who wins.

Pointers About Legalized Primaries


Attorney-General KinswoTthy
yesterday answered the following
questions, which we're propounded
him BY s. S. Wassell or this city.

city primaries the general election
Judges, or should they be selected
by the party holding the primaries.
2. ale the hours for holding the
legal primaries the same as those
for a regular election, or may the
party fix the hours?
5. Are the returns to be made
to and canvassed by the regular
election officers, or by persons Sc
lected by the party authorities?
The Attorney-GeneraTs answer
was as follows:
/. The primary judges should be
selected be 1.-THE party authoriti 5

, The hours for primary elec-
tions should by the same as those
for the regular election.

only ate his liver. This grew again

the parable. There is no cooking
without fire. N cooking aud eating
the mischief lies. The stomach is
overtasked, the bowels become clog
