He Likes Folk.

Senator H Clay Heather, of
Marion county, seems to be an ar
dent admirer of Joseph w. Folk,
who is pushing the bribe-givers
and bribe-takers to the wall with
all Of his power. Speaking Of the
feeling for Mr., Folk for governor
the senator recently said:
The boys around the courthouse
are not talking Folk, but the men
who come in from the farms on
the big wagons are saying Folk
is the man. You can't tell but
what there viii be some change in
a year, but there is nothing to in-
dictate anything except more boom
for Folk. Ny experience with the
boys around the courthouse is that
whilet the people talk about the
people running things, what really
happens is that the courthouse
crowd listens, and when it finds
ont who is winner, leads the shout
ing for him. Consequently you
can't say that because the court
house crowd is Que way to-day il

Jake Muller, on a summers day,
raked the meadows sweet with
hay. The mule with which he
raked the hay was muckled dun,
with streaks of gray. Jake's
shirt was of hickory, and his pants
brown, with a patch OIL the part
where he sits down. Jake eussed
in a way that it was hard to see,
for the mule went haw when he
said gee. A humble bees nest
in the stubble lay, where Jake and
the mule raked the clover hay. A
rake tooth ran through that hum
bic home, and the bees came out
and began to roam in search of
the man that summer day who
raked the meadow of clover hay.
The bees swarmed inside Muller's
shirt, and quickened the mule to a
lively squirt. 1t was tough OH the
mule and worse on Jake and still
worse on the sulky rake, for the
mule turned loose in a promiscuous
way and scattered the rake all, over
the hay.

CHURCH HISTORY. LESSON 4.
The success of a church depends
most upon the pastor, but his in
iluence is hardly exceeded by the
deacons in the Baptist church and
elders in the other churches. Little
Bonnie Femme had Bro. Victor, a
praying farmer, who would some
times talk in church meetings. He
would often repeat the hymn.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Name ever dear to me.
When shall my labors1have an end,
When | thy joys shall see?
Jerusalem! my glorious homel
My soul stlll pants for thee;
Then shall my labors have an end
When thy Joys shall see.
David could almost see the holy
city when this old brother would
talk. Waller Lewis Voolfolk was
another deacon that lived to good
old age. When the Ashland and
Columbia rock road was built it
divided this good brothers farm.
He had to make extra fences and
as some of the brethren were
jealous workers for this road he
became offended, but after a few
years GOODNESS, he again took an
interest in the church. Once, when
discussing the sexton ques ton
he remarked that he had kept the
house several years and all the pay
he received was the pins he picked
up while sweeping the floor.
Thomas Beasley was as proud of
his pigeon tail jeans coat and
broad brimmed low crowned white
stiff hat as King Edward of his
regalia. Uncle Thomas Beasley
lived near a large body of open
woods on Turkey creek, branch |
of Bonnie Femme. He would turn |
out his hogs to feed them on the
mast, but to keep them thriving
and gentle would call them by
blowing a cOnch shell. The hogs |
hearing the horn would come
squealing to get the corn. One of
his daughters had teacher for
special visitor; she prepared din
ner with more than usual care.
Bro. Beasley happening TO pass
through the room saw this and ex-
claimed, Lizzie, do you put 'lasses
on the table for a common school
teacher?" Every body respected
Thomas Beasley for his integrity,
and outspoken expression of his
convictions.
Joseph Waters was one of the
meekest men of the church. His
work was so quiet that you had to
think of what he did, to see how
can be done in quietness.
He lost his first companion about
1913. She made him promise to
bring up the children
in the nurture of the Lord, a
promise he faithfully kept. He
would bring the children to sab
bath school superintendent by Da-
vid Hickman, who also was teacher
for those young hearts, that now
are veterans in Christ's service,
but still recall the lessons of
youth.

Our good friend DR.. H. X.
Hinde furnishes us with an excel
lent communication with the Hon.
w. j. Bryan as the subject. DR..
Hinde is a great admirer of the
Nebraska statesman. He thinks
Bryan the proper man to lead a re-
organization and regeneration of
the body polite, to appeal to the
Christian manhood of the nation
to throw off party thraldom
for the purpose of redeeming our
country from the evils that threat
en- it. DR.. Hinde argues that in
two successive campaigns Bryan
exhibited qualities of character
and performed feats of physical
and intellectual endurance and Or
atOrical display that placed him in
the forefront of the men of the
age. Defeated and disappointed
in reaching the object of his ambi-
ton he did not skulk to his tent
and whine over his defeat. Great
men in all ages have shown their
greatness in defeat rather than in
victory, and so Mr.. BRYAN. y Now, 4
Bro. Hinde, couldn't Mr.. Bryan
be accused of skulking to his tent
and whining if at this late day he
he should throw his party and
urge independent actionY If his
actions since '96 have been noble
wouldn't he better continue the
fight along the same line, and ifyou
we're talking to Mr.. Bryan him
self don't you think he would an-
swer your argument about the
same wayY

CHAP. XIy.-PEN PORTRAITS ON
HISTORIC CANVAS. LESSON 4.


F. D. Sherman makes this con-
fession:
When l was young made a vow
To keep youth In my heart as long
As there were birds upon the bough
To gladden. me with song;
To learn what lessons Life might give,
To do my duty a. l saw,
To love my friends, to laugh. and live,
Not holding Death in awe.
80 all my lyrics sing Of joy,
And shall until my lips are mute;
In old age as happy as a boy
To whom God gave the lutte.
David Moses had very similar
thoughts, for life was so rich in
poetic thought that he had little
time to be gloomy. His father
was ever teaching him the good
ness of God, as illustrated in the
Providence of every day life. His
soul was so full Of poetry and
song that David sought him for
rest and recreation. While his
mother, calm, and always self-pos-
sessed, could drive any cloud away
that gathered over the home, Da-
vid always associated mother with
prayer and song. Father, with
originality, fearlessness and cheer
fulness.
At a natural'rock bridge, about
two miles from Bethel Home, an
old gentleman named James Nc
Conathy had a large mill. The
mill was built with heavy frame
work and partly weather. boarded,
all under a good shingle roof. The
mill had connected with 1t a dis
tillery. Many times David would
watch the huge fly-wheel as it
would make its rapid revolutions.
Then the cOgwOrk was not perfect
ly adjusted and the grating sound
of the cogs as they passed into
each other gave some idea of the
power necessary to put in motion
so much machinery. The mash-t tub
was about twelve feet or more
across and four feet high. A large
beam with something like long
Oar-like paddles swept around this
tub and kept the mash in rapid
motion. This mash was either
rye or corn, both having been pre-.
viously ground. The crooked cop
per pipe called the worm, was one
through which the juices of the
sour mash must pass. After going
through many pipes and receiving
its ingredients it finally ended by
pouring into a barrel. Rye whisky
was considered better than corn
whisky and commanded a higher
price. Mr.. McConathy was large
man. Had thin gray hair, large
blue eyes and very sober look.
David never saw him laugh. While
he had a fine house on the high
hill above the valley in which the
mill was built, and his family was
one of the most highly respected
in the community, he never went
to church or seemed fond of social
life. Many farmers would cut
cord wood and haul it to the mill,
taking the pay largely in whisky.
Often you could see a man riding
upon a sack of corn with jug
fastened to a strap, suspended
from the shoulders. Dayid's
father was once going to his
brother Jacobs for some butter
milk having a jug to get the milk
as he returned he met a little boy
who said, rs the mill running to.
dayin snpposing he had old
Mack" in the jug.
The still slop was used to fatten
hogs. So the mill furnished a
market for corn. wheat, rye, hogs
and cord-wood This min, after
Mr.. McConathy's death, was sold
to Emmett, and the name was
changed to Emmett's Mil He

BRYAN ADDRESSES BOYS.

Places Philo S Bennett as Model for Young Men to Follow. William Jennings Bryan, who Is in this city to attend matters relative to the will of the late Phiio s. Bennett, spoke last night before the members of the Philo S. Bennett Boys club. Only about fifty boys were present, but there were fully one hundred older people. MT. Bryan told of the responsibilities O. lie and held up the deceased MT. Bennett as model business man, ad- vising the boys to follow in his foot steps.
 Mir. Bryan, when interviewed after the lecture. refused to talk regarding the form of appeal from the recent de- cision of Judge Cleaveland.
 He commenced his lecture by compar- ing the responsibilities of life in this country with those of other nations. He said that since the people themselves rule the United States each citizen should be well fitted for the duty placed upon him and should educate himself in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the land.
 He advised the boys of the need Ito work and to work hard. He told briefly of the uselessness and self-dis- satisfaction of the man who has enough money 10 live without working, He concluded by saying that people get out of life only what they put into it. As an ideal business man, worthy of being model to the boys of the club. he placed the memory of Philo s. Bennett before his auditors.
 He laid stress upon the need of each boy having an ideal and said that in a club named after g man of such rep utation as Mir. Bennett his memory should hold prominent place
 After the lecture MT. Bryan shook hands with the boys and with many men who crowded forward to reach the Great Commoner. Among those on the stage with MT. Bryan were Alexander Troup. Rev. Alexander F. Irvine and William Trueman.
