The saying Good as Wheat
has regained all it's old-time
popularity with those who have
it to ell.-Shoshone Journal.
Now this recall of words brings
back to us "Old Grey Boards"
recollections of youth and 'long
ago" Things are changed, and,
in large portions of our nation,
cash is paid for almost every
kind of product. 1t is true that
the price may be low, but, at
some price, all things will bring
cash, while in the long ago, that
Bro. McCollum refers to, moth
ing but wheat would help fill the
coin box. Indeed, it might well
have been said that anything
was as good as wheat on the
principle that it would bring US
something that could be sold for
material; that could be exdhang-
ed for any or all other comforts
of life. To be as good as wheat
in those days meant near aud
dear to the heart and home of
us all. We are greatful to heaven
and the changes that have come
over the times; and we still hope
for a continuing better day. The
nearer we come to having cash
enough in trade to pay for all
things needed, the nearer to hap
piness and closer to having all
things "As Good as Wheat"

Champ Clark, who was one
of the speakers at the reception
rendered w. j. Bryan at Sedalia,
Mo-, on the 18th inst, said that
he had notpreviously seen Bryan
at one of his big outdoor meet
ings. After hearing him speak,
he reached rather an unique
conclusion. He said /:
'If Bryan had gone into train
ing as a prize fighter he would
have whipped Corbett, Fitzsim-
mons or any other man. He has
the most perfect health l ever
saw, and he knows better than
any man I know how to keep it
so. He allows nothing to annoy
him. Today he took off his cuffs
SO as to have freer use of his
hands. Once, when I was speak
ing in Congress one of my cuff
buttons broke and l was compel
led to take the cuff off. Where
upon the Philadelphia Inquirer
got after me with a sharp stick.
Getting back to Bryan, and his
endurance, [ think that since he
has been before the people he
has uttered more words than any
other man in a whole lifetime,
Methuselah included. In all of
that he has delivered but one
sentence which has been called
bad by the critical opposition.
That was when he said L am now
going into what is sometimes
called the enemies country In
this case the republicans left out
the words sometimes called
before they could make capital
out of the sentence. That is
