wanted the hal it was arranged that
the two shoul dsmeet in debate. This
was agreed and Mr.. La Toilette spoke
for one hour after which Mr.. Taylor
spoke for the same length OF time.
Mr.. La Toilette started out with a
discussion OF the republican and
democratic national platforms In
dealing with the republican platform
he said that the Chicago convention
had gone back on the Roosevelt pol-
.icies. He said that Mr.. Roosevelt
was a great reformer and he spoke
very kindly of the great republican.
president. He claimed, however, that
the party had not sustained him in
his great work in that the planks,
advocating the carrying out of some
LOT Mr.. Roosevelt's plans were voted
down by a large majority of the COM

The speaker then compared the
two platforms, asserting that the
democratic platform advocated the
performance OF the reforms cham
pioned by Roosevelt. Mr.. Bryan,
therefore. he argued. was the best
man to succeed Mr.. Roosevelt as
president.
Mr.. LaFo ollette then proceeded to
discuss the topicsof panics. He said
that the cause Of the prosperous
times of the past few years was that

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct 20. To this
city fell, tonight, the distinction Of
entertaining the two men most
prominent in public interest. To ap-
plauding thousands, Taft and Bryan
expounded respectively republican
and democratic doctrines. Nj. Taft
spoke at two meetings and Mr.. Bryan
at four. At each occasion the
warning standing room only was
displayed long before the hour of the
meeting, and before the "big men"
arrived standing room was at a pre-
mium, and hundreds were turned
away. Also in each instance the per-
sonal candidates were received with
fattering demonstrations and their
speeches wera il eQuently interrupted
by spontaneous applause.
The Taft and Bryan specials ar
rived at the station at almost the
same moment, shortly after 6 o'clock,
and to the credit Of the city's hos
pitality be it said that the e1pr. s.
sions of welcome were pretty eyeuly
divided. 4 Both candidates wcle met
by local leaders and entertained at
dinner. Mr. bryan left h. car upon
his arrival and shook hnds with
many on the platform. Taft inn

Mr.. Taylor Answers

Mr.. Taylor opened his address by
saying that all the issues the demo-
cratic party ever had were cademic
and theoritical. He said that MI.
Bryan had not always stood square
toed before the American people, say
ing that them Nebraskan when the first
returned from his tour around the
world, had advocated the govern

has found that topic an unpopular
one, said the speaker, SO he is say
ing nothing about It this campaign,

Taylor said that there is now q fed
eral law regulating campaign con-
.tributions, making II q crime for
corporations to make donations and
proved that when the law was pass
ed by congress that all the demo- no
Gratis in congress voted against the

BoYs LANDED BIG FISH.

While Earl Stone and Paris Hat
tabaugh, nine and 10 years old re-
spectively, were fishing in Richland
creek, at the old watermill, one mile
east of town, they found large cat
fish fastened between a log of the
mill dam and a stone. 1t had run
into the trap during high water, and
as the water receded it was unable to
get loose.
How to land the fish was ques-
ton, for the boys reasoned that the
fish, as soon as dislodged, would be-
come unmanageable; but they were
equal to the emergency. While Paris
sat on the fish Earl took the shoe
string band from his straw hat, put
it through the gills of the fish and
then the two dragged it ashore. In
triumph the boys brought their
catch, the largest of the season, to
town, and found its weight to be SO
pounds.-Bloomfield correspondence

quantity of pins from other coun-
tries. If we assume that the average

that in a single year America pro-
duces 19,OO0,00O,O0O inches of pins,

How to Tie Wool.

Do not tie your wool with sisal or
binder twine Wooden manufacturers
are up in arms against this practice,
and are more and more refusing to &C
cept from wool dealers wool that is
tied with sisal or binder Irvine, and
the time has come when the buyer of
wool must discriminate against this
kind of Irvine, for the reason that i'll
untying the fieeces it is impossible to
remove sisal or binder Irvine without
leaving some of the fibre in the wool,
and this causes a defect in the goods
when made, to the annoyance and ex-
pense of the wooden manufacturer,
who has has to put such pieces Of
cloth among his defective goods.
In Ohio the tying up of tags in a
fleece of wool is a criminal offense,
and if discovered is punishable by i'm
prisonment or fine, or both, at the dis
erection Of the judge trying the offense.
1t is in the power of the wool grow
ers to improve the value of their wool
by proper tying and tagging, using the
hard-twisted Irvine instead of the loose
bound, wiry sisal. 1t is barely posi-
Bile that the wool dealers and manu-
| facturers will refuse to accept wool
tied with sisal except at a discount
from a merchantable price.-Southern

RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS.

Go out under the bright, glad
sky: listen to the songs of the hap
Ply birds, the shout of the dancing
brooks; see how the sunlight glo-
rifles hill and meadowland and
comes shimmering down thru I'M
counted forest leaves, these mel
low, golden summer days. Turn
your faces from the thronged
towns and cities, forget a little
while busy care, and let your soul
thrill and glow under the won
drous touch of divine harmony
that fills all nature. The glad
earth seems ever calling to an en-
joymentlof the all and the all
beautiful. Morning after morning
we know the rills clap their hands
for joy, away off in the greenwood,
and the hearts of the tiny bird
thrill and thrill, again and again,
because they are glad. And we
have so much more to make us
happy than they have-so many
hopes and loves that bird hearts
never know. How can we go up
and down the highways with sad
countenances when the whole
earth seems so happy? 1t seems
like ingratitude to God to do so.
And our smiles and pleasant faces
will bring such sunlight to other
hearts.

CHINA AND GLASS ORNAMENTS.

China and glass ornaments should
be washed in water not too hot, in
which little soap powder has been
dissolved. In washing the dishes of
china cupboard change the water
frequently, taking care not to put
too many dishes into the basin at
cnce, in case they strike against each
other and become Clipped.
Hand-painted china and all kinds
decorated with gilt should never be
allowed to stand in water, especially
if it is very hot, as such treatment
is sure to injure the decoration.
A soft brush is necessary for cut
glass. To dry it thoroughly use
plenty of sawdust as this will absorb
the moisture where the brush cannot
reach.

Buying Small Farms.

There has been a very noticeable
increase in the demand for small
farms the past winter, mainly from
city men who have been thrown out
of employment In some sections
they have bought up practically all
the small farms in the market, paying
good prices for them, and generally
making the entire payment in cash.
Most of the purchasers are American
born mechanics and tradesmen who
have had farm bringing-up. They
have saved little money and now,
when their source of livelihood has
stopped, they naturally turn back to
the land where they know COM

Mr.. Bryan declares that the jute

believes that cotton mill adjunct TO
the penitentiary could utilize the
cheaper grades of cotton and make
a satisfactory bagging that would be
more protection to the cotton bale
than the jute bagging, less unsightly
and at a saving of several millions Of
dollars to the farmers of Texas every
year.
Jute bagging costs nearly a dollar
a bale, and If 35 cents could be saved
to the farmer it would amount to a
million dollars a year. Then there
would be nearly two millions more

a mill could be built by the State
upon the principle on which the State
bought and operated the Cunningham

a good one, practical, and would like
to see it put in operation by the next

The "CaIifornia Mixture"

The lime-sulphur formula for scale
which has given such good results In
California, is as follows:
Salt 10 pounds, sulphur 20 pounds,
lime 40 pounds, with water to make 60
gallons of spray material ready for the
tree The lime and sulphur remedy was
discovered by California people and
after many experiments this formula
was decided upon as being the best
for practical use. This formula was
adopted by many states and has been
the popular remedy for many years;
however, experiments were constantly
bling made to lessen the cost or find a
substitute.
When properly cooked and applied
this mixture will kill every scale that
it hits.

MARINE INSURANCE.

Marine insurance is the oldest
kind of modern insurance. Its prin-
ciples were first employed in the
fourteenth century by the merchants
of Barcelona, in Spain, when that
city was the capital of the kingdom
of Catalonia, and when its hardy
mariners were second to none in the
world. About the same time, and
also at Barcelona, the famous code
of maritime laws known as the "con-
sulado del mar" was promulgated,
which is the foundation of the pres
ent shipping laws of every country.

A negro farmer in Kansas knows
how to raise potatoes. His name is
J. G. Groves, and, it is said, he raises
more potatoes every year than any
other individual grower in the world
Last year on his farm he produced
1880 bushels of white potatoes, be-
sides several hundred bushels of the
sweet variety. The former crop aver
aged 245 bushels to the acre, and is
about his average yield. He began
farming less than thirty years ago
without a cent, as a day laborer at 40
cents per day, and now owns 500 acres
of land valued at $3.50 per acre. His
potatoe crops have made him wealthy.
There is something in knowing how.
