Cast down and apparently chastened
by a defeat which he owned was a sur
prise to him. Mr.. Bryan issued from his
home at Lincoln on November g. 1900, a
statement in which he said:
Il shall continue TO take an active in
terest in politics as long | live. 1 be-
lieve it to be the duty of the citizen
to do So. and in addition to my interest as
a citizen | feel that il will require a life
time of work to repay the political friends
who have done So much for me-.
Gratitude rules strong in Mr.. Bryan
rhetoricaly. 1t wells up in him even when
he cont omplates another beating at the
polls but with his accustomed intrepid:ty
and fortilude he VIII face ii without
Quailing.

We would also earnestly counsel
the advisability of early shopping
for Xmas, the advantages OF which
will appeal to patrons who have
numberless gifts to select. and who
will appreciate purchasing with
leisure and comfort by avoiding
the stress OF crowds. hurried IN
spection and unsatisfactory results.
The enlargement OF many OF our
departments will greatly facilitate
the holiday shopping. but the un-
usual demand which has already
been made upon our supplies OF
Xmas goods illustrates the wisdom
of anticipating the crowd of shop
pers BY buying all presents in this
pre-holiday season.
Purchases will be carefully
stored, if desired. and delivered
promptly at specified time. and
every opportunity will be afforded
for relieving the strain of COLI
tinued shopping, as well as the CIV
ing of advice and assistance in
making troublesome selections.

1t Resembles the alberta In Size, but

Within year OF two several new
peaches that seem worthy of attention
have come into notice, and among
these is Quinn, described in National
Stockman and Farmer, much like Ell
berta in size, color and quality, but
ripening Il week or ten days IL advance
of it. While yellow and red, like Ell
berta, the red is said to be brighter
and the quality somewhat superior.
The class to which it belongs is also
the samoa cross of the North China

A Reliable Bearer.
The tree is said to be very reliable
bearer and, like Eiberta, with just
enough fruit on the tree to he always
of good size.
Its origin is understood to have been
in the garden of Judge f. E. Quinn, in
eastern Texas.
Other Valuable Varieties.
Several other very valuable peaches
have originated in the south-E liberia,
Picquet's Late Belle of Georgia, etc
and are doing well in the peach grow

is well worthy of trial by those whose
business it is to keep track of such

The rubber plant is a beauty for a

gas, heat, almost anything but over
watering in winter and freezing. Give
such plants roomy pots, rich soil and
generous treatment Keep plants free
from insects. Keeping them clean will
do it. Keep the soil free from worms.
Woodsoot tea will do this Do not
starve them. A teaspoonful of bone
flour to five inch pot. worked into
the soil once month and followed by
an immediate watering, just enough to
wash it down well into the SOIL will
