An Excuse For . Pardon.

When the stern Duke Of Wellington
was prime minister under George ",
he managed the old monarch easily
enough, but when he attempted the
same tactics with the young Queen
Victoria he met his match. She con.
stantly outwitted him. One Of his
earliest official acts was to bring be-
fore her a court martial death sentence
which he expected her to sign as Q
matter Of course. A soldier was to be
executed for desertion, and as the
death warrant was placed before the
queen by the duke she raised her eyes,
full Of tears, to his face, saying:
Have you nothing to say In behalf
Of this poor manT
Nothing" said the duke, standing at
attention like one Of his own privates;
"he has deserted three times"
"Oh, your grace, think again." plead
ed the queen Is II she were asking for
the life Of her dearest friend.
We'll, your majesty. be certainly Is
q bad soldier. but there was somebody
who spoke for his good character. He
may be a tolerably good fellow in civil
life"
"Oh, thank you" said the queen in
heartfelt tones, and before the aston.
ished duke could utter a word Of pro-
test she had written across the paper
the word "Pardoned."

How to Hang Pictures.

Contrary to the natural inclination,
dark, heavily shaded pictures should
not always hang in the strongest light.
but should In some cases seek shell
tered position. away from the glare
Of the windows. Near the light may
hang pictures In fainter tints. the sub
dued water colors, the line engravings
whose best points need illumination.
Just as in a well planned room the
dark color is found in the carpet and
melts from that through the shades Of
the curtains and furniture to the light
est nuance IN the wall. so the lower
pictures should be more somber In
hue than the upper and should lead
the eye unconsciously from the deep
est tone to the highest light.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.



ing the Malady.
In caring for any contagious disease

to be observed by the nurse for her

disease. Free ventilation is one Of the
most important items. The better the
ventilation the less the chance Of contaS

provides constant current Of fresh air
through the middle opening between
the two sashes and without danger OF
drafts. Then by opening the window
from the top a short distance several
times an hour the room is kept thor

Prolonged contact with the patient
should be avoided, and no food or fruit
that has been in the sickroom should
be eaten by any but the patient. The
person filling the Office of nurse should
never eat without previous and thor

not enough. This must be supplement

WOULD NOT DECLINE
Assurance That Bryan Would Ac
cept Third Nomination.
He FELT THE PULSE OF THE EAST
On His Recent Visit to Atlantic Sea-
board He Became Satisfied That
He Still Is Man of Destiny, It is
Said.

Washington, D. c., March 22.-1t is
positively known here that William
Jennings Bryan will not decline a
third nomination for the presidency If
it is offered to him with any degree of
|unanimity in 1904.
Politicians of note in the democrat
tic party have counted out" to use a
sporting phrase, Mr.. Bryan as an elig-
ible candidate for the democrats in
the next national campaign. The Ne
braskan, however, has not yet given
I up the idea that he is man of deS-
tiny and still believes that, if NOM
mated for third time, his opportuni-
ties for winning are better than they
were in 1896 or 1900 Col. Bryan has
not yet stated that he would decline a
third nomination. He has only stated
/ that he would not seek the nomina-
ton for third time, and undoubtedly
this statement upon his part can be
considered authentic
Felt Politicians Pulse.
While Bryan talked shop" on his
recent eastern visit it goes without
saying that he endeavored to feel the
pulse of the politicians of New York.
Washington and elsewhere regarding
the possibility of his being selected to
lead the democracy for a third time.
Col Bryan, as is well known, has ma
ny staunch followers in the east and
lin the south as we'll as in the west
He was not disappointed with refer
ence to the views expressed to him by
politicians from all sections during
his stay in the east. 1t is, therefore,
considered that if he can be nominal
ed for the presidency in 1904 without
lgreat friction he will accept and will
make another effort to reach the pres
Iidential goal
1t may be well to state in passing
that Col. Bryan will not have as
smooth sailing to capture the demo
lcratic nomination in 1904 as was the
lease at Kansas City ir. 1900. There
are wise democrats in the east who
believe that it would be folly upon
1.-THE part of the delegates to the next
; democratic national convention to
tender the presidential nomination tc
mr.. Bryan. The Nebraskan, however
lis not of the same opinion and will, II
possible. use his Commoner to ad
vance his views on domestic and in
lternational affairs in order to keeE
him prominently before the people
for the next three years.
There will be other candidates, O

, available are Richard Olney of Mas

MAY GET NEW TRAIN.

Citizens Along the Rock island Want
an Evening Train North.
[From Fridays Dailyl
One of the latest Improvements for
Ottumwa is night train service to
Des Moines over the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railroad One of
the leading citizens of Eddyville was
in Ottumwa this morning and was in
terviewed by Courier representative
and he said nearly all the citizens OF
his town were clamoring for such
train. 1t is not only Eddyville that
wants the train but Evans,

towns along the route want
to come to Ottumwa to trade. With
the present accommodations it is near
ly impossible for them to do this Pas
sengers from the north can reach OF
tumwa all right but getting home the
same day is where the trouble is. The
only train they can get out of here in
the evening is a freight which is due
to leave here at sos o'clock, and that
is generally two or three hours late.
1t is said that the citizens Of the

these places now have to do their trad
ing in Oskaloosa and they claim it is
very unsatisfactory. They claim they
can buy everything much cheaper ir
Ottumwa than the former city. What
is wanted is a train to leave here
at about 8 or o'clock in the evening
for Des Moines. Such a train was rur
on this road about eight years ago, and
it was great paying investment No
only would Ottumwa be greatly bene
fitted by such a service, but travelling
men would find such a train grea
