MISQUTIN0 SAYING OF LINCOLN.
Bryanites EndeavOring to Make Strong Cam.
paign Points By Reference to Lincoln.

The desperation of the Bryanites is
evidenced by the fact that Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Stevenson are attributing
things to Abraham Lincoln that he
never said. Secretary Hay, who was
Llncoln's private secretary, and who,
assisted by John Nicolay, wrote the
most complete life of Lincoln ever pub
lished, after years of study, having ac-
cess to all the writings of the martyred
President, declares the Lincoln quota
tion used by Mr.. Stevenson in recent
speech-a prediction that combina-
ton of corporate wealth would destroy
the republic-to be a forgery, and said
lit: '"The passage does not appear in
any of the standard collections of Lin
coins writings. It's style and manner
are entirely different from Lincoln.
1t is generally reported in the West
that is the invention of spiritualistic
medium, made several years after Mr..
Lincoln died"

KENT ISLAND.
A Land Where the Population do as They
Please and Never Hurry.


Please and Never Hurry.
The following cut from a communi-
cation nearly a column long, in the
Centreville Observer gives an idea of
the easy going ways of the Kent Island
people:
"No one is in hurry here. except at
meal times, especially when they hear
those evening bells" at the supper
hour.
''The soil is light, and so is the work
of the men, who being attached to their
homes usally sit on their porches read
ing the Sun whose reception upon ar
rival each day rivals in it's warmth the
heat of the late departed summer.
A woman in the Garden of Eden was
easily the most energetic being in it;
so she is also here. Even the biting
mosquitoes are female.
"This is a great country for geese,
and they attain great size A Queen
Anne's goose is thing of beauty, and
80 pounds of it when fat. There are
but few thrifty Republican geese on
the island-white ones mean.
"Oystermen work not in the rain,
neither in the sun, nor whilst the wind
bloweth, nor when it is hot, nor when
the ice shows itself, or even frost, and
still they thrive. In fact it may be al
most be said of them:
"'Why stand ye hers all the day
idle?'
"Crabbers could lay up money if
they so desired, and still live luxur-
iously every day.
''The fisherman buyeth houses and
farms and marrieth frequently"

The Campbell Farm" of 600 acres,
located in Slaughter Neck on the bay

There is comfort in the knowledge so

Root, the great kidney remedy fulflls every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day. and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-RoOt is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
