WE HAVE noticed in the col

contemporaries considerable no
tice being taken of the actions,
expectations, ETC., of a class of
men called Taft Democrats.
While these gentlemen are doubt

On only two occasions have they
been named, once when Mr..
Meredith announced his determi-
nation not to support Bryan.
(Which, by the way. was only
repetition of his previous attitude
and again when during Mr.. Taft's
visit to White Sulphur Springs so

that they were even present at

ever concerning the identity of

IT PAYS To SMILE.

1t is worth stopping to think of
that Taft is known as Smiling
Bill and Sherman as Sunny
Jim.
President Roosevelt, with his
bulldog countenance, is the best
known for his good-natured grin.
1t is hard for him to wear a sober
face even when he poses for a
photograph.
The Bryan smile is believed to
be the best asset of the great
commoner. " 1t is expansive,
pervasive and contagious. Every
body feels good in the presnce of
BRYAN.
Although Governor Johnson
seems to have a sad ccuntenance.
there Is a curious little. twist TO
his lip that suggests capacity for
quiet fun. and an eye to the hui.
mOrOus side of life.
All Of which leads 10 the con-
cluslon that the American people
prefer men who smile. There
have been times when statesmen
were expected to have squarecut
mouths and wear frOck coats
tightly buttoned. But it is past.
1t is a tendency Of the times.
Even the clergy in these days
nave discarded solemn garments
and smile cheerfullY on their con-
gregations.
Is pays TO smile. There is an
inner satisfaction in looking on
the world through smiling eyes.
And the rewards OF life in this age
are for the optimists.
That's why the Saturday Blade
always greets you with a merry
twinkle.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS GIVE OUT

Did you ever feel that you simply can't go any further-that you must have rest for that lame and aching back-relief from that constant dead, tired feeling-freedom from those stabbing, darting pains?
 This is the condition that so often comes at middle age bringing with it an extreme nervousness and irritabil- ity that makes others think you cranky" and hard to get along with.'
 Likely your kidneys are worn and tired and need help. In any machine there is one part that works the hardest and gives out first. The kidneys work night and day, remov- inging from the blood the ur1c acid and other waste created by overuse of strength and energy. Naturally a life of unusual activity doubles the duties of the kidneys and in time the strain tells.
 With healthy kidneys, one has a good chance to live long, but weak kidneys afflict old age with great discomforts. The back becomes bent and lame, rheumatism is chronic, eye sight fails, and too frequent or invol- untary passages of the urine cause embarrassment by day and loss of sleep at night.
 Doans Kidney Pills bring new strength to old backs, and quick re-

 It seems that no domestic cattle were brought over until four years after the landing, and in order to equalize them each COW was divided into thirteen lots, each family having one It must have been pretty nice affair to divide the milk of one COW among thirteen parties to satisfy all
 We now hasten on to Burial Hill. Here repose the ashes of those who survived that first winter. All the original Pilgrim headstones have crumbled away, but have been re- placed as far as possible by exact copies. The oldest known grave is that of the Pilgrim John Rowland, the stone being of recent erection. The inscription reads as follows:
 Here ended the pilgrimage of John Rowland, who died February 23, 1872, aged above so years. He mar ried Elizameth. daughter of John TilIey, who came with him in the

What a Phoenix Girl Saw During a Recent Visit to Plymouth, Mass.

Following is a recital of a Phoenix girls visit to Plymouth, Mass, or Plymouth Rock. as the place is most frequently referred to in this count try to distinguish it from all other PlymOuths. In America it is the one Plymouth, the birthplace of world renowned Yankee virtues, as James town was the origin of southern hos pitality, the two being chief charac- teristics of the American nation. Mi riam Hershey, daughter of MT. and Mrs. E. s. Hershey of S07 East Jef- fersOn street, Phoenix, is a Phoenix girl even though she was born in Massachusetts, for she came here when only six month sold and lived here until five years ago, when she went to Zion City, H., to attend school. During the past summer she visited her New England birthplace and Plymouth. Returning to school she was prevailed upon to write a paper for the school literary society, describing her visit to Plymouth After reading it she sent it to her parents here and it is herewith repro dUced as the observations of one of the youngest and geographically most

was on this island that the first re- ligiOus service in New England was held. The large flat rock called Pulpit Rock, on which the leader stood, may still be seen.
 On the right at South Duxbury is Captains Hill, so called from be- ing the home of Captain Miles Stan dish. At the top of this hill rises a large stone tower, surmounted by d statue of the hero, over fourteen feet in height.
 Farther along is seen Rouse's Hum mock, the American terminus of the French Atlantic cable, the headland of Saquish, and far away in the dis tance rose the blue hills of Manomet.
 While Plymouth harbor is one of most unrivaled beauty, it is unfortu- nately dependent upon a full sea to float vessels of much draught. This we found to be only too true, for as we neared the wharf, it being low tide, the boat got aground and it took a good deal of showing to get her off the bar.
 However, we finally got ashore and proceeding up North street for a short distance, we came to a great granite canopy supported by four columns, under which is the world famous Plymouth Rock. Perhaps a word of explanation will not be out of place here. The Mayflower first stopped at what is now Province town on the extreme end of Cape Cod, but not thinking it a suitable place to build a settlement, sent out an exploring party on a shallop to spy out the land as it were. They were overtaken by a storm and driv-

and another to the memory of a year old baby:
 "Heav'n knows what man he might
 have made,
 But he died a most rare boy"
 There were many other points of interest in Plymouth which we would have liked to have seen, but as it was now mid afternoon the guide hustled us or board the boat and we were soon bound for home. The wind had risen to a gale during the day, and consequently it was very rough. Of course, we were all tired and, to add to our distress, some of the party were sea sick, so you may be sure we were all glad when we saw the welcome light of Sandy Neck, with home not far beyond.

lief to weakened kidneys. They ban ish backache and rheumatic pain, and regulate the bladder and urine. When once a proper Altering action is re- stored through curing the kidneys, the dangerous uric acid is once more expelled from the blood, and danger of gravel, stone, dropsy, heart trouble, diabetes and Brights disease removed.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick kidneys in old or young. There is not a particle of narcotic or poison ous drugs in this remedy. It is rec commended publicly by thousands.
 PHOENIX PROOF.
 James A. Taylor, BOP S. 18th St, Phoenix, Ariz.. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of kidney trouble which had bothered me for four or five years. Whenever I caught cold it settled in my kidneys and caused my back to become so painful that l could not sit, stand or lie down without suffering severely. When having an acute attack I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and procured them at Adams Pharmacy. They en- tirely banished the pain and lame ness in my back and I have had no return of the trouble since I gave testimonial telling of the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills in 1902, and am now pleased to confirm every word then said regarding this remedy"

l en upon the shore of Clark's island.
 As soon as the storm was abated
 and their> boat repaired they set sail for the mainland. As they neared
 the shore they saw a large boulder ! lying half submerged and, bringing
 the shallop up to it, were enabled to | land dry shod
 l The rock stayed in its original pO- sition until in 1775. in endeavoring to raise it to prevent it's being covered | by sand and wreckage, a large piece was split off. This portion was de- posted in Town Square until in 1880 it was carried back to the original landing place and the parts firmly cemented together.
 It is said to be very lucky to wish standing on Plymouth Rock. so we all took turns wishing. How it turned out for the others I don't know, but my wish came true. so I shall always owe a certain piece of good fortune to Plymouth Rock
 Just behind the rock rises Coles Hill. Here were buried in that first winter nearly half of the Pilgrims. The graves were leveled and in the spring corn planted above them that the Indians might not know the ex- tent of their loss. Coles Hill has other histories also, as it's position commanding the harbor made it an excellent place of defense. Batteries were erected here during the Revolu- tiOn and also in the war of 1872.
 Our guide now took us to Pilgrim restaurant for lunch, after which we were ready to explore Pilgrim hall, just across the street. This hall was erected in 1924 by the Pilgrim society as monument to the memory of the Pilgrims. In 1S1S0 it was rebuilt in a fire proof manner, that it's contents might be preserved with greater care.
 The walls of the main hall and library are covered with paintings de- picting incidents in the lives of the Pilgrims, and around the sides of the room are arranged in glass cases many valuable relics.
 The most interesting objects in the Alden case are John AIden's Bible, a halberd he once wore and ancient documents with his signature
 Next to this is the Standish case, in which is the famous Damascus sword. This sword came down to Captain Standish from the Crusaders and is thought to be of Persian man. ufacture, the material of which it is made being thunder iron. In this case are an iron pot and pewter platter which he brought over in the Mayflower, a sampler worked by his daughter Lorea, also a fragment of a quilt which belonged to Rose Standish, his wife.
 Below the Standish case is one containing, among other things, the first patent granted to the Pilgrim eolonists, and is said to be the oldest state paper in existence in the United States.
 On raised platform at the end of the room are two chairs which were brought over in the Mayflower, one of them owned by Edgar William Brewster and the other by Governor Carver. Next to the chairs is a funny little Dutch cradle brought in the Mayflower, in which Perigrene White, the first Pilgrim baby, was rocked
 Leaving Pilgrim hall we decided to visit Burial Hill in the limited time remaining at our disposal. Passing the site of Governor Bradford's house and the Elder Brewster spring we came to the court house containing many of the old records. Here is the

TO PLYMOUTH IN A MOTOR BOAT

TO PLYMOUTH IN A MOTOR BOAT One of the most interesting side trips which I took while on my trip east this summer was the one to Plymouth. We were a jolly crowd of young people that left Lovells Land ing early on the morning of August 19, ready for the thirty-five mile run up the coast. first stopping at Sandy Neck light house to take on more passengers.
 We had to keep as close to the mainland as possible. for farther out the water was very rough. To our right was the bay, dotted with danc- ing white sails, and to the left we passed a long procession of strag- gling villages, summer hotels and factory towns, with the dark pine forest ever in the background. Al though we all enjoyed being on the water, still we were glad when, after having been out a little over four hours, our guide announced that we were nearing our destination.
 On our right as we came into the harbor was a long neck of land called the Gurnet, which takes it's name from a somewhat similar pro montory in the English Channel, near Plymouth, England. On it are a United States life saving station and twin light houses.
 The next prominent object was Clark's Island, named from the mate of the Mayflower who commanded the shallOp on the expedition on which the island was discovered. It
