FINDING BIG MEN
LIKE A LOTTERY

ST. LOUIS. July Picking out the
national personages Of the Democratic
party has been the most popular game
In town this week But like any lottery.
there are a lot more people who draw
blanks on most Of their euesses than
win out.
One woman was disappointed IN David
b. Hill When he was located for her
she found he aid not have a white feath-
or in his cap. nor Il am a Democrat
placarded on any Of his garments.
Eourke Cochran excited the greatest
personal interest, and William J. Bryan
was stared at through "a thousand pairs
Of opera glasses from gallery and arena.
All Eyes on Williams.
John Sharp Williams, the strongest
Democrat IN America" as d delegate
called him. was as picturesque a per
sonality as any student lover would
want 10 see. Even his two hours speech
did not dctract the attention OF the au-
dience from the man.
lie Is q slight edition Of Henry Wat
terson, with longer arms and less mag
netlsm. His hair and mustache have the
picturesque dToop Of the orator or art
list and the keen nose and cagIc-Iiks
eyes have far more OF the hawk than
the dove. His voice was even. If not
always strong. but his temperament IS
such that the dcafeniug cries of louder
louder from the gallery made him
smile instead Of rant.
Williams used some good words and
sentences 10 IHfiame the popular mind.
Such phrases as Eek OfticiO emperor Of

Watch Children.

Often we see Disagreement begin
ming in childhood, and the growing
girl OF boy STOPPING instead of standing
erect, and when reproved throwing the
shoulders too far back. The only thing
to do in such cases is to start to rem
edy it at once. Frequently the cause
is in weak stomach. Growing boys
and girls need good nutritious food and
plenty of it. After the stomach is fed
and steady common-sense diet adopt
ed, exercises must come in for their
share of attention. The girls should
play in the open air. dance and skip
the rope. If the mother places her be-
fore a mirror and shows her how she
looks with round STOPPING shoulders
and the metamorphosis when she is
straight and erect, the chances are that
pride will do great deal toward keep
ing the girl erect. 1t is good plan to
let her study famous statues, that she
may see what grace and lithesomeness
are, and always should she be taught
that her body is the dwelling place of
the soul divine. The chances are that
with this treatment the round shout
ders will disappear. the girl will
straighten up. attain grace and lose the
stoop that at 25 will be positive dis
| figuration.
