Mr.. Bryan has devoted more time 10

promised that if elected all the power of
the executive Should be employed for the
destruction of the trusts; that the troops
Should be reduced to 25,000 soldiers, and
that the Filipinos should be given their
independence under. the American pro-
lection. While adhering to his former
position on the financial question; Mr..
Bryan has not voluntarily forced that

BALTIMORE, Nov. 4.-Cardinal Glib
bons took occasion at high mass today
to say few words on the subject of the
coming election in his regular monthly
sermon to his congregation at the
cathedral The cardinal never takes any
active part in politics, rarely, if ever,
casting his ballot, but to those who are
fortunate enough to be in his confidence
he does not hesitate to express himself
freely upon the issues invclve1 in the
present contest. He takes the position
that there need be no alarm upon the
part of any one over the result of the
coming election, and asserts that there
is nothing in the situation to warrant
the belief that the election of either can
didate will, in any wise seriously affect
the future welfare and prosperity Of the
American republic

Poor Kitchens

The place where the good wife spends
most Of her time and does most of her
work is in the kitchen. 1t all too often
happens that this kitchen is the most
poorly furnished and worst ventilated
and arranged room in the house. This is
poor way Of doing. This room should
be well equipped with all modern uten-
sils, should be bright and sunshiny
room, should have sink and water sup
ply and good hard wood floor. Some
foolish people put all their money into
the rnishings Of the best parlor and
the company bedroom, which are not
used once a month, while the wife slaves
along day after day in little, cramped
up, inconveniently arranged kitchen and
plaintively sings the old refrain There
Rest for the Weary" Use the best there
is in the home for your daily life and
let the company take pot luck when it
comes. What is good enough for you is
good enough for your friends.

growing, every kernel terminating.
And yet the owner of the field was hav-
ing trouble with his seed corn which he
had picked before the frost came and
which, as he thought, he had taken
much pains to save The corn in the
field was protected by thick husk dur

is that it must be thoroughly dry before

Old Folks and their Farm.

While it should not be so, we still
come across cases all the time where the
old folks who have spent lifetime in
getting nice farm paid for are fooled
into the notion Of deciding it to their
children, in consideration of care and
support SO long as they the old people)
shall live-cases where, after such trans
fer Of property is made, filial love begins
to wane and the old people, if not actu-
ally turned out, are made to feel that
they are burden and dependents. Now
il these old people would only just keep
title to their property in themselves un-
til the probate court passed it on to
their childr it would make all the diff.
ference in the world as to the treatment
accorded to them. 1t is pretty hard for
persons to be really independent when
they don't have cent in the world they
can call their own. New, all you old
folks, love your children just as hard as
you know how, but at the, same time
Just keep title to your farm in your own
name. The children will treat you just
as well and as likely as not better than
il you gave them your property.

cried, and we don't blame her, the boys

had. There is lots OF this sort Of fool
business going on. Men don't know
when they are we'll off. What farce
life becomes when man will deliber-
