The St. Cloud..Times publishes an
article from one of the chief
monopolistic organs OF the East which
speaks Of Bryan as "body of death"
chained to the democratic party. No
man in the history of American
politics, not even jackson or Jefferson,
has been as much traduced and
msligoed as Bryan. and this cheap
insult is q small matter. The classes
who hated Jefferson for his ideas on
equality of opportunity, who despised
jackson because Of bis independence
OF the money sharks, In this age
have q horror ard hatred of the
man from Nebraska. Without single
exception, the organs of plutocracy,
who always assume to know what is
best for the dear people. are abusing

mslice can inspire and hatred

The custom Of visiting and sending
presents and cards on New Years day

tory goes. The practice Of using visit
ing cards can be traced back for thou
sands Of years by the Chinese. Their
New Years visiting cards are curiosf-
ties. Each one sets forth not only the
name. but all the titles of It's owner,
and. az all Cinnamon who have any
social position at all have about q
dozen, it makes the list quite appall-
Ing. These cards are made of silk or
else Of fine paper backed with silk and
are so large that they have to be roll
ed up to be carried conveniently. They
are, indeed, so valuable that they are
returned to their owners.

from the top of a chicken house
and his head hit some hard sub

full wound.
Surgeons were hastily summon

their proper places.
Keith is now resting rs well as
could be expected, and there are
