against him. I took to the work like a
duck to water. made fifty speeches against
Thayer and often said some pretty severe
Things against him. am willing to admit
that since then I have often thought that

there was to 1t.
Thayer was elected. After he took the
governors chalr he was called to be toast
master at banquet to which i was invited
and at which 1 was set down for a speech

cheap had also no doubt that he knew
what L had said and would show that he
die when we met face to face. But l went
and was given a place near the governor,
and l sat there through the early proceed
ings quite uncomfortable.
FINALLY 1t came time for the governor to
call upon me. He rose from his seat. with
the program before him. and slowly said:
Mr.. Bryan-Bryan.'
Then he slowly turned his eyes upon me
and addressed me:
DO you speak or sing?
That was rs much as asking me what
my turn was, and inwardly shrivelled to

Danger in Wire Baling.

A few days ago thoroughbred COW
at the Holstein Ranch died, apparently
from general wasting. Her stomach
was cut open and in it were found sew
eral pieces of wire about six inches
long. They were very bright and
smooth showing they had been in the
stomach some time. Some of the ends
had protruded through the lining of
the stomach.
The ends came from wire used in
baling hay. They had mingled with
the hay and been swallowed by the
COW. Persons using hay baled with
wire should cut the wire in the middle
instead of near the end, if they wish to
avoid fatal results to animals feeding
on the hay, for if the cut wires are
three feet long instead of few inches
they will not be swallowed. Carson

journing temporarily in Reno, says
that Nevada is about to enter upon one
of the hardest political battles in the
history of the Sagebrush State. "Wal-
lace has not been purchasing mines in
Washoe county for the love of mining y
he continued. "He never was a miner,
but a shrewder politician never lived,
and, mark my word, if mines are
started by him in this county Wallace
will run your politics. l speak from
experience, for l have known the
Black Man for a number of years.
There will be four tickets in the field
competing for honors, and three of
them will make a life-or-death fight.

into their heads to down bossism. If
they do, the rule of Wallace is ended" 4"

Throughout the entire arid region
the plan to construct storage reser-
voirs, to be under government control,
to be used for the storage of food
waters for irrigation is almost univer-
sally endorsed. There is no more i'm
portant question now before western
Senators and Representatives than the
reclamation of the arid west through
this means, nor no project to which
they could devote themselves with
more profit and upon which they
could combine every force with more
certain and general support from their
varied constituencies. Will these con-
stituencies demand such action on the
part of every representative sent to
the national Congress? The question
after all always rests with the man
who casts the vote, if he will but keep
the fact in mind.

The Level-Headed Never Lose Their
Nerves.

Worry is the twin sister of nervous
ness. Neither should ever enter into
the daily life of any one. God, in His
allwise providence, put the head of a
human being on top, that all beneath
1t might be subservient to it. There is
something wrong above the eyes in the
region of the will power, when one be-
comes n rvous in the sense of excit-
ability. Know thyself" is good; con-
troll thyself is better. Worry and ex-
element never aided any one. Any
fool can get along when everything is
all right, but it takes wise man, a
level-headed man, to get along and not
woEy nor become nervous when every
thing is all wrong. = Apru Ladies

When eastern manufacturers and
wholesale jobbers have their attention
called to the matter, it is very simple
thing for them to see that with the
opening of large areas of fertile west
ern land, through policy Of national

for their goods and products. And SO
they become at once favorable to the
idea. This secures for the West an
active and influential ally in every
