Mir Bryan said he was glad of an oppor- tunity to command the attention of Pres ident Roosevelt in the way of regulation.
 Tt does not make any difference that the President does not belong to the same political party" he said, T am very glad that he has seen fit to take ad- vantage of plank that we put in our platform. It was made for use, and am glad some one was able to use it, and to that end to assert that any one may use it who can. l am sure the peo- pie of this land will never deal as un- justly with the railroads as the railroads have dealth with the people. nor will they show toward the railroads any such hos tility as would deny the railroads d fair return. What the farmer contends is that the railroads are overvalued and that they are forced to pay taxes on that overvaluation. 1 ask that you unite with the farmer to give him just rates and to free him from extortionate rates"

 Harrisburg, June 6.-The endorsement of United States Senator Knox for Prasi- dent. the nomination of John O. Sheats of Philadelphia for state treasurer. and the adoption of platform endorsing the policies and administration of President Roosevelt, were the net results of to- days republican state convention.
 The platform adopted by the conven- ton Is a departure from those of previ- ous state conventions in that more than two-thirds of it Is devoted to national affairs. President Roosevelt's admnistra- ton Is given high praise.
 The platform endorses United States Senator Knox for the Presidency. and presents him to the republicans of other states as Pennsylvana's candidate for the Presidency before the republican con vention of 1908.
 Continuing the platform says:
 We commend the course of the fifty ninth Congress, which, without attempted confiscation or reprisal of vested rights or any spirit of unfairness and injustice to those who have interests in carrying, and other corporations, nevertheless, passed more important legislation than any pre- ceding Congress for the proper regula- tion and control of corporations and trusts and the punishment of improper prac- tices. We indorse and approve the course of our United States senators and repre- sentatives in the said Congress, and par ticularly in upholding the hands of Pres ident Roosevelt.
 ''The republicans of Pennsylvania be- lieve that the pay roll of American labor should continue to be higher than that of any other nation, and the average American home model for the world
 President Roosevelt has publicly de- clared that the general tariff policy to which, without regard to changes in de- tail, l believe this country be rreyocabiy committed is fundamentally based on the recognition of the difference in labor cost here and abroad.
 We indorse those declarations and de- clare our unfaltering adherence to the great people of protection to American labor American industries and American products"
 Touching on state issues. the platform indorses the administration of Governor Stuart and commends the work of the re- cent legislature.
 Senator Knox remained away from liar rlsburg during the convention. leaving his interests in charge of his colleague, Sen ator Penrose. MT Penrose will probably head the presidential delegation to the next presidential convention.

Good Cough Medicine for Children

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you
cure his cold the less the risk. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy Is the sole
reliance of many mothers. and few
of those who have tried it are will
ing to use any other. Mrs. F. F.
Starcher. Of Ripley. w. Va, says, II

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my
children and 1t has always given

ABOUT THE CUCKOO.
Female Does Not Lay lts Eess In
Nests Of Other Birds.

P0moi0 Ooeo NOT lay KS e90o IN
Nests Of Other Birds.
A popular fallacy is that the cuckoo
lays eggs in another birds nest, this
conclusion being drawn from the fact
that these eggs have been found in the
nest of the wood thrushes. the robins
and other birds, says the Chicago
News. The real fact is that the cuckoo
mother lays her eggs on the ground.
and then her gallant male friends gath
er them up one by one and deposit
them in different nests. In the spring
Of the year the male cuckoo appears
first, but never makes his presence
known by any sound. These male
birds explore the field assiduously and
locate every new nest that is being
constructed in the vicinity. When the
female birds arrive, everything Is ar
ranged for their reception.
Usually there are seven or eight
male cuckoos to three females, but
they never quarrel over this dispropor-
ton Of the sexes. AS soon as the fe-
male arrives she lays her eggs on the
ground, and then each male takes an
egg in his bill and deposits 1t In
nest selected beforehand. One egg to
a nest is all, and If one is already
there the cuckoo will 60 to another.
The cuckoo egg has the faculty of
Matching out earlier than most others.
and the deluded foster mother soon
finds big, clamorous youngster in her
nest, while her true eggs are gradual
" forced out of the nest by the inter-
loper.

From under growth of underbrush

done, he drew the coat nervously

hunted sort OF look in every direc.
ton but mine, so that ! did not get a
view of his face, he ran at top speed
along the shore and finally disap-
