THERE IS NO COMPARISON.
Bryan's PuriIe Effort to Illustrate
the staunchness of the
Democracy.

William J. Bryan addressed the dem
ocrats of Wooster, O., few days ago
on "Steadfastness." His hrppiest il
lustra tons of the influence and power
of steadfastness were drawn from the
South African war. Very truly did he
say: "Those who prefer prison fare or
a servile subjects lot to the dangers
of the battlefield may condemn the
Beers for continuing what some de-
scribe as hopeless struggle for indie
pendence, but those who measure the
mighty influence of great deeds know
that the sturdy Dutchmen of South AT
RIGA have already conferred upon the
world a benefit that cannot be meas
ured by money"
And he gave utterance to a truth
when he added, with reference to the
South African patriots: Their valol
has brought greater security to al
the republics of the earth; the bodie.
of their dead have built bulwark be,
hind which the friends of liberty will
fight for centuries
All this is very eloquent and very
true, but Mr.. Bryan made pitiful fail
ure of his attempt to apply to the dem.
ocratic party any of the great lessons
of steadfastness exempIified in the
Beers. The democratic party for
eight years, at least, to go back nc
farther, has been steadfas st in nothing.
1t has played fast and loose with every
noble thought that inspired Jefferson
or guided Jackson. 1t has blown hot
and cold upon the cherished doctrines
of its founders. 1t has been unsteady
in its purposes, unstable in its convic-
tions. uncertain in it's policies and IN
faithful to it's principles.
Even now, when Mr.. BRYAN j.
preaching the gospel of steadfas tness
throughout the east and striving to
convince his following that it will be
the wiser plan to cling for time to one
ideal, no matter how hopeless the out
look may appear, the democratic party
is thinking very seriously of turning
its back upon the issues which it has
pronounced vital and paramount dur
ing the last eight years.
Nobody knows this better than Mr..
Bryan, and nobody knows better than
he that if steadfastness were in the
remotest degree characteristic of the
democratic party he never would have
been given an opportunity to lead it
into two consecutive inglorious de-
feats. The Beers are steadfast in low
atty to principle and leaders. The
democratic party is not. The Beers are
acting together under a consummate
leadership. Mr.. Bryan knows that the
democrats are not.

Trees may be grated at almost
any age. The CRAFTS, see figure A,
are limbs of the last years growth
| on the new wood obtained from any
good apple tree cut above the orig
inal graft Suckers from the roots
won't do. They should have at least
two buds on each graft. The largest
end should be cut wedge-shape and
from each cutting.
Figure B shows the end of limb
split down at the top and how the
graft looks when in position. Figure
C gives an idea how the Limb APP
pears on the tree to be grated and
also how the two CRAFTS appear when
ready for the grating wax. Three
such CRAFTS on a tree at proper an
giles from each other, if well set,
would make a pretty good-looking
tree in two years growth, so that
all Oh UnS Ola Tree dDONc luc
grated limbs may be removed.
Mr.. Wiswell explains that the Sc
cret of successful grating lies large
| ly in having the inner bark of the
tree and graft come together so that
the sap will flow from the tree to
the graft and also that the wax is
put on in such a manner as to keep
ont air and water from the SD1ice or
joint.
Two CRAFTS are usually placed in
each limb, and should both live the
! poorer one may be pruned out while
the stronger one with three buds
will make good stand. 1t is not
unusual to graft into limb two
inches across and sometimes the
main tree is cut off and two CRAFTS
set in, but there is less danger of
failure when CRAFTS are put into
limbs and the main tree or some of
it's branches are left growing until
the results of the grating are ascer-
tanned.
In grating seedlings the tree is
cut off near the ground where the
graft is set, the loss of seedlings in
the nursery row being of little i'm
portance compared with a tree set in
an orchard.
Note.-The drawing was made from
an alder cutting, and while being
somewhat different in appearance
from the apple tree, conveys the
same idea.-E. F. Barry, in Ohio

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 13th.-A sensa-
tional statement is made by Mr.. Ben
jamin Major, whose home is at the
corner of Jane and Hurlbut Ave-, this
city.
Mr.. Major says that he has found a
remedy which will positively cure all
Kidney and Bladder troubles. He suf-
fered himself for long time with these
diseases in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimental with
great many medicines without get
ting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was
cured completely.
The statement he makes seems to
have ample confirmation in reports
being published every day of wonder
full cures by this remedy.

that he paled as he came near to the

"Stand aside!" said the old man,
thrusting out the symbol in front of
him. L could see his eyes gather on
the soldier and his brows knit with
a strain of will.

he would have fallen, but with an eff

1t must have been with the courage
of desperation that the soldier dared
to use force. But the hand he
stretched out dropped Imply back to
his side the moment it touched the old
mans bare shoulder, as though it had
been struck by some shock. He seemed
almost to have expected some such re-
pulse; yet when he picked up that hand
with the other and looked at it, and
saw its whiteness, he let out of him
yell like wounded beast. "Oh, gods!"
he cried, mot that. Spare mel"
But Zaemon was glowering at him
still. A twitching seized the mans
face, and he put up his sound hand
TO it and plucked at his beard, which
was curled and plated after the new
fashion of the day. A woman standing
near screamed s the half of the beard
came off in his fingers. Beneath was
silver whiteness over half of his face.
Zaemon had smitten him with a sud-
den leprosy that as'past cure.
Yet the punishment was not ended
even then. Other twitchings took him
on other parts of the body, and he tore
off his armor and his foppish clothes,
and always where the bare flesh
showed there had the horrid plague
written its white mark; and in the
end, being unable to endure no more.
the man fell to the pavement and Law
there writhing.
Zaemon said no further word. He
lifted the symbol before him, set his
eyes on the farther door of the ban

away from him with open shudders.
And through the valves of the door he
passed out of our sight, still wordless,
still unchecked.

The HOME OF THOUGHT.

And 10, the clouds are rolling to the west.
And bars of amber, gold and silver spray
Reflect their beauty on the oceans

The cliff majestic lifts its awful form,
And bids me rise nerved by a strength
profound,
And ply my quest where dwells the source

And where the healing and the rest is

What unknown isles send forth the

The trembling gossamer above my head
Sparkling with pearly dews of beauty

Adorn my path, as upward I am led
In search of lasting gems beyond COM

For acts are coarsened thought, and ut

Fail to awake the ecstasy sublime;

abounds,
Where 1 may feast with comrades more

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

If the ground is frozen SO as to bear
up a loaded wagon, then is the time to
mulch the strawberries.
If you have no cover crop in the or
chard give it good dressing of coarse
manure, marsh hay, or shredded corn
stalks. Do this now.
1t is safer to protect the trees than
to hunt rabbits. A lath or wire cloth
net about the trunk of the tree will
keep off rabbits and also prevent sun
scald.

SAVES MUCH LABOR.
Plan for Watering Greenhouse
Plants That Is Good Enough to
Be Generally Adopted.

To water greenhouse plants there
is better way than with hand wa
tering pot, which must be held up
at arms length. Have a stepladder
with the top shelf higher than the
benches. A pail of water placed on
the top of the stepladder, with a long
rubber tube running from it, consti-
tutes a syphon that will save much
labor. A cutoff and a nozzle can be
put on the end of the tube, so that
the water can be controlled at will.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1902-01-18

Of course, there must be some eleya-
ton to secure force enough to make
spray, but the water will run in a
stream if the pail is just above the
der is mounted on rollers, instead of
casters, that it may be rolled over
walk that has spaces between the
strips of board. The stepladder will
in itself be found very convenient
about greenhouse when not in use,
in watering plants. A simple catch
will hold the roller from turning
when it is to be used.-D. G.. Barker,
in Farm and Home.
