will select the proper kind
of poison for Mr.. Bryan to take,
whether arsenic, prussic acid or
strychnine, something that will
remove him from earthly activi-

the meantime, for the benefit of
the Free Press, let itjbe said that
if the democratic party wins in
1908, no matter whethersthe stand
ard bearer be Bryan or someone
else, that it will win because of
what Bryan has been advocating
consistently and steadfastly for
the past ten years. Events have

truth and farsightedness'o Bryan.

The St. Cloud Times strikes it
pretty near right when it styles
genial Senator Alderman as the
senator from "the Northern Paci-
fic shops at Brainerd." Mr.. AL
derman has invariably, without a
single exception, taken the rail-
road side of legislation. 1t is fair
to say that he probably reflects
the prevailing sentiment among
Brainerd business men. Our
friends feel that the shops are so
essential to their prosperity that
they do not feel like opposing
anything desired by the Northern
Pacific. They probably feel that
it is a business proposition. Yet
not all the people-of Brainerd feel
that way, and most decidedly the
people outside of Brainerd in both
Morrison and Grow Wing counties
do not feel that way. The larger
interests of the people ought not
to be subordinated to the desires

St. Patrick's Day
Celebrated?

A question often asked and Of
ten answered enormously, and
as the day will continue to be
celebrated as long as the ages
roll along, perhaps a true and ac-
curate answer may be appreci-
ated by your many readers.
The conversion of the Irish
people to the Roman Catholic
faith by St. Patrick nearly six
teen hundred years ago, and
their admission into the era Of
Christianity, will ever stand out
as 'Ireland's greatest event."
In comparison to this all 9TH
ers, however great and glorious
they may appear, are insigmi-
cant-merely shadows feeting
across the ocean of time, as this
one fact was undoubtedly the
principal source Of the pride and
glory enjoyed by Ireland in the
golden age OF sanctity.
The consequences Of this great
event are easily traced through
each and every subsequent stage
of his career: they are wildly
depicted through the ma ~ hun
dred years fierce ana bloody
fighting of the Danish invasion;
it is indelliblg shown in the du-
plicitv of the Anglo Norman IN
cursion. and to our sorrow We
trace it later on, aye almost TO
our time, the days of religious
persecution whenoar forefathers
willingly gave up their lives. de-

country that Il me She possesses
in the annals Of civilization. a
name that was always found as
ISOLATED with Christianity, with
self-sacrifces for conscience
sake; with public liberty and a
nation honor.
Whatever you find beautiful in
terature, sublime in suffering,
pious in devotion, or heroic in ac-
ton. has been inspired by love of
tod ~ love Of country. and these
two sentiments have animated
the Irish people to remarkable
degree, and all true Irishmen
who have carefully perused the
history Of their country will ever
pray to the God, our Father, that
the sacred union will never be
broken.

For many weeks the irritable mer-
chant had been riveted to his bed by
typhoid fever. Now he was conva-

to eat, declaring that he was starv-

Tomorrow you may have some
thing to eat" promised the doctor.
The merchant realized that there
would be a restraint to his appetite,
yet he saw, In vision, a modest, steam

Mourning Vagar'es.

Mourning is not what it used to
be-" said an undertaken. I'm fact,
expect to see it go out altogether in
the next century or so. Perhaps 1t is
Just as we'll. No young widow, I've
heard say, can wear mourning with
out looking like an adventures.
"But in the seventeenth century
widows not only wore mourning, but
their bed curtains were black, and the
sheets and pillow cases had a black
edging, like stationery. Even their
lingerie had a mourning band.
I'm Italy the mobiles of the Renais'
sance carried their mourning as far
as their knives and forks, which had
ebony instead of ivory handles.
Gray cloth superseded black fer
mourning in the eighteenth century.
The fashion lasted about twenty
years. Then it died out, as it had
sprung up, mysteriously."

Shaw Not a Gourmand.

George Bernard Shaw, critic, dra-
matist and novelist, asserts that he
has 40 more home instinct than a
milk can at a railway station. He adj
mits, however, that he has an address
at 10 Adelphia terrace, London.
These chambers" he explains, con
stitute the real center of my domestic
ity, because my wife lives there. My
official residence, qualifying me as a
vestryman, is in Fitzroy square,; my
mother lives there. | live nowhere"
He says that any place that will hold
a bed and a writing table is as chnr.
acteristic of him as any other. At one
of the Socialist conferences, when the
delegates assembled after lunch, the
well-known writer came in, rubbing
his hands and giving thanks for the
splendid dinner he had just had. Some
one asked him what he had for din
ner. "Ah!" replied Mr.. Shaw, with all
the serenity of a well-fed man, I've
had seven bananas!"
