nWilliam Jennings Bryan hat

lfWilliam Jennings Bryan had
been elected to the Presidency he
had promised his followers a
most unique and simple inaugu-
ration, but failed to explain what
advantage would arise from it.
It is said that he had declared
his intention Of coming to Wash
ington a few days before the 4th
of March and taking up his tenn
porary quarters in a modest
house on Capitol Hill, where he
boarded during his two terms in
Congress. On the day of the in
auguration he proposed to walk
to the Capitol from his boarding
house, take the oath of Office in
the Senate Chamber, and then
board q cable car which would
take him to the White House
gate. He would walk from the
car to the White House, and that
would be the end Of his inaugu-
ration. This very simple per-
Torrance has been cancelled,
however, by a very large vote OF
the American people.

One Womun's Notions.

The men will stand anything.
It's a woman's vocation to be
married.
A woman is as good as a man
any day.
Dearest friends make The best
Marriage is sometimes the
grave of love.
It's a bad workman who quar-.
rels with his tools.
Sinners never hear any harm
OF themselves.
An old girl makes q young
married woman.
There is something better than
beauty; and that is charm.
There are not husbands enough
to go around-statistics prove it.
A lie should be large and
adaptable, and allow a margin
for alteration.
There's no sight more deplora-
BILE than a man who can't employ
himself.
All lovers promises are, of
couse, entirely founded on the
doctrine of probabilities.
A woman may just as well give
up the game when once she cant
make the other woman jealous.
It's my theory that half the
unhapplness of married life
comes of husbands and wives be.
ing constantly together-all in
all to each other-Good House
keeping.
