9MY DEAR PETE The Terrible
Teddy was here last Monday to speak
at The labor day picnic. He had his
rough rider hat, his glasses and his
teeth with him. Bryan was here also
and spoke at tine picnic. went out
to hear him. There we're $4,000
llaborlng men at the picnic, and when
Roosevelt started to speak he was
constantly interrupted by jeers and
hlsses and yells for Bryan. Teddy
showed his teeth and waived his hat,
but the noise continued until he
finally had to quit. When Bryan
came ON the ground he received the
greatest ovation that ever saw given
to any man. Every one seemed to
be wild about Bryan. After Bryan
finished speaking Senator Mason and
two other Republicans tried to speak,
bur the crowd would not listen to
them. The demonstration was slgnI-
ficant because it represents the sentl-
meiit of organized labor here, most Of
!. vi voted for Mckinley four years
ago. The cause of the change Is
partly due to the fact that in the labor
troubles, which have been going on
here for the past year, the Republican
papers have taken the part of the con
tractors against the men.

tisiug Blanke's Coffee. 1t
has a gilt-edged reputation
here in Kevtesville, and 1t
deserves to have such a repu-
tation, because it is really
and actually the finest flavor

in this place. Of course 1t Is
natural that other grocers
should feel jealous. l don {
blame them. But when these
