its space to better purpose. But how
about the Burlington Hawkeye, the

Moines Capital, the Iowa City Repub-
lican, the Council Bluffs Nonpareil and
fifty others! Are they merely econo-

Anybody with half an eye can see
that there is nothing that can prevent
the nomination and election of Bryan
in 1908. The pendulum is swinging
the other way. The Republican party
has been on the upward swing for a
dozen years. 1t is going the other way
now. Many Republicans pretend to
recognize the fact that nobody but
Roosevelt can beat Bryan and thus
save the party. We accept the chal-
lenge. We say nobody can beat Bry-
an.

ret-The story of nm Eyewitness.
My great grandmother Parnell
Brooks, whose maiden name was
Boylston, In the year 1920 sold her
homestead, ON which now stands
Bunker Hill monument, 10 the city of
Boston for $1,000 At the time Of the
battle of that name she was n little
girl of seven and half years living
with her parents, Richard and Parnell
Boylston, in the old homestead resi-
dence, which then stood on the very
spot where the monument now stands.
She retained TO the end OF her days a
most vivid recollection Of events there,
especially on the day and night pre-
ceding that memorable battle, the varl-
GUS incidents Of which she never tired
of telling and retelllng.
Asnearly as l can, shall give these
little items as she used to relate them,
as follows:
"My father, Richard Boylston, was
the grandson of the celebrated DR..
Zabdiel Boylston OF Brookline, who
was the first to introduce Qn 172D vac
cinatlon into the civilized world and
which he did against great opposition,
preceding DIR. Edward Jenner's fur
ther development Of the practice in
England by about fifty years. At the
above date, during the epidemic Of
smallpox in Boston, DR.. Boylston in-
oculated 2S6 persons, of whom only six
died.
my father, grandson OF this IA
nous physician, was prosperous mer-
chant of Charlestown. Our home was
on Breeds hill. little less than half
mile from the village, my father
owning that and much of the adjacent
land down to the waters edge.
"For months things had been very
unsettled, and l had heard much talk
among my elders about oppression,
tyranny and taxation. Up In the gar
ret, hidden behind the big loom, were
chest OF tea, teakettle, teacups,
saucers, etc, carefully covered with
heap of flax. Every afternoon my
mother would retire TO this garret
with any guest she might have to
brew and drink II cup of that forbid
den beverage. How often had l been
told to stay near the door and play,
but to run quickly and tell my moth

There was such excitement in Four
Corners as had not been known in
that small settlement for many day.
The quail on the Cornish estate were
protected by the game laws from April
to September and by Dawson, the
gamekeeper, at all times, yet one May
morning found Dan O'Connor in the
Cornish preserves with brace of
quail at his belt, whereupon Dawson,
summoning the sheriff from Windsor
Bend, had promptly arrested O'Connor
and jailed him.
Such thing had never happened be-
fore in the history of Four Corners,
and public feeling ran high. A crowd
had gathered at the one store the place
boasted, and their muttered threats
finally merged into open defiance.

A blackberry Superstition.

In some of the southern counties Of
England queer superstitions are eur
rent about eating biackberries after
Michaelmas day. The country people
say that on Michaelmas eve the old
gentleman plants his cloven foot" on
all the blackberries as yet ungathered,
After this date, Sept. %. ii is unlucky
to pick or eat the fruit. The date upon
which the devil puts his foot down
against blackberry eating varies In diff
ferent districts. In some it is as late
at Oct. TO- by which time one would
naturally suppose there were no black
berries left to stamp out. But the story
of his prohibition Is told in many
places. Great misfortune, sickness or
death will surely follow disobedience to
his orders. But why his Satanic mai
esty should concern himself so partic-
ularly about blackberries when so
many greater matters might be said to
claim his attention, none of the stories
states. 1t may be that he considers
blackberries too healthy and wishes to

The Russian "kakochnik' ia one of
the most charming articles OF adorn-

the Muscovite peasant women, but has
been adopted during this century by
the ladies of the court who have elabo-
rated it into red vclvetcap embroid-
cred In precious stones. 1t Is worn
with the red velvet court mantle and
jewelcd stomacher brought out on
state occasions and more than out
rivals the plumes ana vcll worn at the
English court.
The Spanish mantilla Is well known
and has been somewhat vulSariZed on
the comic stage. The national dress Of
Roumania has escaped that fate. 1t
consists OF Il white linen sleeveless gar

streamers Of colored ribbon falling
therefrom in a shimmerlng cascade.
The hair Is braided I'm four plaits loose
~ tied with chains of scquins. and the
feet are incased in crimson kid slippers
