DECIDE ON DENVER.
Democratic National Convention VIII
Meet There on July Z.

After deciding to hold the next
Democratic National Convention at
Denver, COL, and fixing the date,
July 7, 1908, the national committee
Thursday at Washington entered up
on a spirited debate on the propriety
of accepting more of the 100000
offered by Denver for the Conven-
ton than is actually needed to pay
the Convention expenses in that city.
The opposition to the acceptance of
the contribution took the form OF
resolution by Representative Clay
ton of Alabama declining money not
actually needed for Convention pur-
poses, but after long debate the
resolution was laid on the table by
a vote of 81 to IA.

Cows shovld Have Water.

Cow owners don't seem to realize
that 81 per cent. of the milk Is water
and that . large percentage of butter
fat and casein is water also, and that
no matter how well the COW be fed she
can only give milk as she has the
water available to furnish the great
mass Of the yield. 1t is well es-
tablished fact that a COW of 1000
pounds, live weight, giving normal
quantity Of milk, say forty pounds,
should have from ninety to 100 pounds
Of water every twenty-four hours. She
will put at least thirty-six pounds Of
this in the milk pail. Now is it not
folly to think she can digest her food
and yield the largest quantity Of milk
when compelled to drink SO large q
quantity of water at one time? No
other domestic animal requires any
where near 80 large proportion of
water, and still we water our horses
two or three times day and compel
the COW to get along watered only once
and then usually out in the cold and
compel her to drink GOLD water

RELIGIOUS.
Praying and Waiting.

1t is easy to pray for things but hard
to wait for them, says Outlook, and we
often rush to the conclusion that,
because prayers are not answered in q
moment, they are not answered at all.
A little thought would end this kind
of skepticism and give US patience to
wait on the Lord without repining or
sinking of heart. Great blessings
sometimes come suddenly, but none
before they have been prepared for by
some kind Of spiritual training; great
orators sometimes suddenly come to
light in apparently commonplace
careers, but not unless there have
been rich possibilities hidden beneath
the routine of daily work. No man, in
any great crisis, shows gift for speech
or action or heroism unless the germs
Of those things were already in him.

Bobby" said the teacher of the

question to one Of the younger pupils,
"how many pints are there in a GAL
lon?"
"I've forgot 1t again, ma'ma," said
Bobby, who found 1T hard to cnmmit
to memory the table of weights and
measures.
Thinking that perhaps by turning
from the abstract to the concrete she
might succeed better In stimulating
his power Of recollection, the teacher
tried another tack;
Bobby" your father is a milkman,
isn't he?"
Eyes, ma'am." &
"Well, now, think as hard as you
can. He sometimes sells gallon can
full Of milk, dosen't he? Just SO. Well,

are there in that gallon can?"
