rotten corn, and they cannot

". ]. BRYAN.

If there ever was a public man
in the United States who should
not be misunderstood, it is VIM.
j. Bryan. And yet, the news
| papers, especially the Republican
newspapers, are continually mis-
understanding him. The reason
that Mr.. Bryan should not be
misunderstood is because he is
plain, open and straightforward
in everything. He is the far
thest removed from being time
served or a sail trimmer. He is
anchored to principle. He puts
that above everything. The rea-
son that the Republican editors
are always misunderstanding
him is because they persist in
treating him as a mere politician.
Whereas, he is far removed from
what we consider a mere politi-
clan. We have no doubt that
Mr.. Bryan would like to be the
President of the United States.
1t is a rare honor. But this is
not the main thing with Mr..
Bryan in connection with this
office. His principal reason for
wishing to be elected to that ex-
allied place is for the good that
he could do in that office to the
people of this country and to the
people Of the world. But, not
withstanding the fact that Mr..
Bryan would appreciate the hon
or of the office, and would try to
use it for the good of humanity,
he will not sacrifice one jot of
principle in order to obtain that
exalted position. And this is
something that Republican edit
ors refuse to understand. Even
to the point of obstinacy. They
are continuously attributing
wrong motives to Mr.. Bryan.
This is where they make their
big mistake. Mr.. Bryan is an
honest an, throug h and
through, honest in every thought,
and this is why he makes so few
mistakes. He talks and writes
much, and yet he almost never
says anything that his opponents
can twist to his discontinue.
Mr.. Bryan's course lies before as
plainly as macadamized road
running through a prairie coun-
try. He has no inducement to
play to the galleries, and this,
because he is no Office seeker.
If Mr.. Bryan is ever elected
President, it will be because the
office has sought him, and not he
the office. He is refreshing
person, in American politics.
The people love him and follow
him, because he is honest. E.

this purpose; there is law on
our statute books to the effect
that every child shall attend
school at least forty days during
each school year, and we believe
this law should be enforced in
instances where it is necessary,
and would be to the interest of
the children in every section of
the country who are not getting
any benefit from the schools.
In travelling around over Adair
county, we observe that the coun-
ty roads in many localities are in
the worst condition they have
been for many years. There are
gullies washed out, mud holes in
the roads. rocks and stumps in
the way, and they are in such
deplorable conditions in many re-
spects in nearly every locality in
the county, that it makes one
respondent to see the lack of in
terest that is being taken in this
important matter by the people
of our county generally. What
IS the matter with our road laws,
or is our road law good enough,
but not enforced? There is some
thing radically wrong some
where. Either the road law is
of not much Importance, or it is
not enforced. If the law is good,
it should be enforced, if not, it
should be amended so that it will
be effective. Itseems to be near
ly a failure now. If every able
bodied man in Adair county in
the road age, would put in six
good, honest days work each
year, we would see marked i'm
provement in the public roads.
Good, conscientious business men
should be appointed for over
seers, men who know their duty
and will do it; who will see that
every man belonging to his joint
of road does six full days work,
and then he should be paid a
reasonable compensation for his
services. We see no necessity
for the Fiscal Court to levy a
tax of twenty or twenty-five cents
on each one hundred dollars
worth of taxable property, for
the benefit of roads, and then
there be no appreciate improve
ment in the road. If the tax
payers should have value received
for taxes paid, otherwise we can
not wonder at many Of the best
citizens of the county leaving.
Give us economy in public expe-
ditions; make taxes as low as
possible consistent with the de-
mands of the times. Gentlemen
Of the Fiscal Court, give us econ
omy in your appropriations, and
instead of raising the tax rate
higher every year, lower it, and
instead Of many of the wealth
lest men leaving the county, they
will perhaps remain here and in
vest their money. Lower taxes
by using economy in your ap-
preparations. The people of
Adair county are not prepared to
pay high taxes. They desire
low taxes, and not an exhor-
bitant taxation. This voices the
sentiment of a large majority of
the taxpayers of the county.

CHAPTER x.

sMr. Tollett is here, Jane. Would
you like to see him aloneT
Eyes, auntie, alone and let him come
in at once, please. 1t tires me to be
kept waiting or to have to expect any
thing now"
And in another minute the Vicar of
Characterization the first time since
Clifford Mohun left-was admitted into
poor James little sitting room.
He set his hat down carefully in the
window seat laid his walking stick
across it; then took off his gloves, fold
ed them neatly together, and deposited
them in the breast-pocket Of his coat.
james weak nerves were horribly irri-
tated by these preparations. She
thought that the vicar meant to stay
long; she felt that he was going to
drive her wildssby commonplace con-
dolence and exhortations to long-suffer-
ing and patience.
II am sure it is very good Of you to
come to see me, SIR and there was a
weary, half queruIous tone in her voice,
very unlike its old, frank, unconscious
happiness. I'm weak and i'll, and l
can be of very little interest to any
body now; but Miss Lynch would send
for you
The vicar looked kindly into her
hopeless, sunken eyes.
"Jane,' he began, after a few in
quiries respecting her bodily state, not
made in the accustomed style Of friend
ly sympathy, not accompanied by any
of those stereotyped platitudes which
jar so horribly upon the temper Of
every real sufferer, but just in his
usual, quiet, rather reserved manner,
Jane, do you know that 1 was mar
rled once2"
A faint tinge Of color came into
James face-a faint look Of interest in
her eyes.
Yes, Mr.. Follett. I have heard that
you were married in your youth"
81 was married for just one year,
and / had one little child. Would
you care, do you think, to hear me tell
the story Of that part of my life n
"Yes,'' she answered, she would care
to hear whatever Mr. Follett liked to
tell her. 1t was very kind of him to
trouble himself about her at all; and if
it would give him pain to speak about
the past he must not attempt to do SO
for her sake.
And then her head sank listlessly
down upon the pillow of her couch, and
she turned her white face away toward
the window.
1T won't pain me to speak Of the
past now, Jane, and to you; but you are
the only person in Chesterford to whom
have ever volunteered such a conf
dence. Most people, find, when they
are In trouble like great deal Of posi-
tive advice or positive pityn-Jane
shuddered "and, Of course, in all such
cases long habit makes one know

were material facts omitted or over
looked during the woman's trial. She
has lived among the Italians of the
vicinity Of the crime for three weeks,
and in this way was able to learn facts
which did not come out at the trial.
One Of the material points was that
Sonta was shot from in front, and not
from the back, as was testified at the
trial When Sonta appeared at the
Tolla house the day of the shooting he
FIRST exhibited q roll of bills, and when
he could not accomplish his purpose in
this way he drew a revolver. The
woman lawyer also produced af1davits
that Sonta had to flee from Italy on
account of his habits, and that on his
arrival in this country he began his
attentions to Mrs. Tolla.
1t was also shown that Sonta's wife
gave Mrs. Tolla the money to buy the
revolver with which the shooting was
done.

We seem to have been doing business
with China during 1905 in spite of the
boycott by the Chinese of American
goods. concerning which the Oriental
cables have had SO much TO say, asserts
the Baltimore American. 1t is little
surprising, after all the reports of the
persistent refusal of the Celestials to
touch anything with an American
brand on it, to learn that in the ten
months ended with October, 1905, ex-
ports from this country to China ag-
gregated more than soo,0O0,0OO as
against $2o,OOO,O0o during the same
months of 1904. Those are the COM

the strings a bit"
From this time on, Jane began daily
to speak more. She was very bitter in
all she said bitter, and at times al
most sharp and caustic; her sorrow
lending her kind Of hard humor
wholly alien TO the natural tendency Of
her mind. She read "Ecclesiastes, :
and found it good; she studied Vanity
Fair then newly written-and consid-
cred life-like. She bethought herself it
was time to get her winter clothes, and
she got them, and went to church, and,
without faltering, braved out the eyes
of half the parish, and put on cool
and Indifferent manner when her viii
lage friends pressed around her coming
out of church to inquire Of her state
And then, after week or so of this
new condition, she sickened suddenly
Of the preacher and of Becky Sharp
alike, and said nothing more at all Bit
ter or pungent, and found going to
church did her no good, and that she
hated to see peoples faces, and to hear
their condolences.
"They all cared for her, in reality, no
more than she cared for them"
And then she took to lying all day,
without even a pretense of book or
work in her hands, upon the sofa. look
ing more white and stupefed and
weak than she had looked even in the
first days after her parting with Mo-
hun.
The sound Of Miss Lynch's voice. or
Of the little maid servants singing at
her work, tortured her; the sounds of
the robins twittering around the FROST
ed window panes tortured her; the vii
lage children's shouts, as they ran
along the lane to school, tortured her.
All life was one intolerable, nauseating
burden-not dull, stagnant weight,
as it had been at first, bringing with it
at every hour, almost at every moment,
an acute singing, unbearable evidence
Of it's pressure. Her days began with
the horrible thought that SO many more
hours of light and sound had to be
lived through, and ended with GER
tainty of broken, fitful night-a night
whose CHASTITY, mocking dreams We're
yet the least intolerable part of all the
four-and-twenty hours of feyerish suf-
fering.
When Mr.. Follett heard how she was
now he asked if she would like to see
him, and Jane said yes.
On the morning when his message
reached her she was wondering how
many more months Of her present life
it would take to bring her to her grave.
and she felt sort of curiosity to hear
the opinion of another person Orh the
subject.
"Only ask him not to condole with
me-" she remarked to Miss Lynch, who
was rapturously waiting to bear her
ultimatum to the vicarage. "Tell him
