Roosevelt Popular in Kansas.

If the Presidential election was to

would carry Kansas by $4,000 majority -
said Mr.. F. B. Clement. of the Sun
flower State, last night at the Raleigh.
I'm the words of one of our Western
writer's We are raising less hell and
more corn and wheat BY that I mean
that the farmers of Kansas have aban-
doned their Populistic follies and agi-
tations and are devoting themselves to
business and are making money. They
are enjoying their share of the general
prosperity.
There Is but a small remnant of the
Populist party left. nearly all of the co.
900 or 10000 voters which that organiza-
tion numbered a few years ago have
Probably S5 per cent of them have re-
turned to the Republican party. and
Kansas is once again. after all OF her
political upheavals. a safe and solid Re-
publican State.
THE people have grown tired of wild
political fallacies, and have in recent
years grown conservative as they have
grown prosperous. The President is
immensely popular in the State. and his
speeches on the trust question are en-
tirely to the liking of the people. The
voters in Kansas believe in him and
are willing to trust him.

THE OLD HOME.
By CHARLES FRANCIS SAUNDERS.

To one forspent with stress of
trade
And schemes of gain In city marts.
There comes breath Of country hay
Waited from passing carts.
Fades the long line of brick and
stone.
The streets rude tumult dies
away,
From money getting for space
His soul cries holiday.
And with him down the orchard
path,
Past spring-house and the pasture
wall.
Her spirit walks who taught her
child
or the Love that is DER ALL
The vision vanishes. and straight
The streets rude tumult in his
ears,
But in his heart a heavenly strain,
And in his eyes. sweet tears.

From the German by L. S. PERKINS.

To hold thee for herself alone,

And this is woman's magic skill;
She doth convince thee in the end
Thou art the author of the ill.
To her thou kneel'st with humble word,
Repenting what she did to thee
For thou vert born to be her lord!

Mrs. J. Sterling Wood Says
 of "The Battle Ground"
(PubIished at s1.5O-Here at 1.1o)

Published at $1.50-Here at 1.10)
 Tt is the story of beautiful and re- fined women, in silken gowns and filmy laces; of generous hearted and chiya1ric men; of fair young girls with roses in their hair, and gallant young bloods but dimly conscious of the grand possibilities within them, and waiting for the crucible of time and events to try the gold of their characters. And around all, and be- hind all, background of the smiling. dusky faces of those humble and faithful friends of each family the slaves, whose mothers and fathers, and in many cases grandmothers and grandfathers, belonged to ole Mars ter or ole Miss, and who, in their simple devotion, would have poured out their hearts blood for their white nurslings. Then comes the story or that saddest of all pages in the his tory of civilized man-the war in which neighbor fought against neigh bor and brother against brother. rms is possibly the finest part of the story. The author possesses in a marked de- gree the power of description and ln- sight into the varied and complex phases of human nature. If you want to feel a deeper tenderness TOT wo- man, a greater respect for man, keener longing after high ideals, read The Battle Ground. The Bookworm.

 of "A Speckled Bird"
(PubIished at s1.5o-Here at 1.1o)

Published at $1.5o-Here at f.1o)
 Fine and pure, glowing and gener. ous, grand and good, "A Speckled Bird" is bound to make and leave it's mark. The father may read and learn the immensity of his responsi- bility in t he family; the mother. and restrain the tears of sympathy at this story of motherless girl working out her life problem; the sons and daugh- ters with breathless interest in a love. ly and pure love story, and all the better for the reading. 1 cannot re- frain from just a word of tender, pro prietary pride in the writer, both as a Southerner and friend For in her own spotless life she exemplifies her heroines; in her adherence to the loftiest ideals, in the exquisite per. lection of her daily walk through life, and I speak from long and intimate knowledge. She deserves the admir- ing love in which she is held in her own sunny land, to whose traditions she has been so faithful and of which she has been so fond "A Speckled Bird" is a book not to borrow, but to buy and own, to read and re-read, and then to love to see in ones library ones own dear And those who know me know that each word of the above is a strictly honest opinion of the book ,as it appeals to me.
