birds. so that all property so acquired is being
purchased by the various chapters of the Audu

work done by these societies has caused many
persons to set aside portions of their private
land for the exclusive use of wild birds and
animals and great educational work has been
carried on through the distribution of thousands
of illustrated leaflets for nature study among
school children. The cooperation of schools
has been obtained in the setting aside of
brief period once month, and sometimes oftener,
when children may talk about and be interested
in the work of preserving natures beauties
Many schools have also arranged to have classes
study two Audubon leaflets each month and use
these as a basis for letters and compositions.
Even the littlest ones are nightly interested
in organizing league chapters, and children
may pay any trffe they please to become mem

considered during the month.
Children never fail to respond to teachings
about birds, and are quick to learn the differ

A GREAT LAND OPENING.

Washington, d. c., June %, 1908.
A number of exceptional opportuni-
ties are now being offered by the
Government for enterprising and in
telligent farmers to secure choice
farms on dozen or more large irriga-
lion projects which are nearing COM
pletion. -
Owing to the rapid narrowing of
the limits of the unoccupied public
domain, it is doubtful if these oppOr-
tunities will ever occur again. 1t is
probably, therefore, that the West
will see one of the greatest infiuxes
of homeseekers in 1908 that has been
Witnessed in many years.
The great fertility and wonderful
crop yields from irrigated lands, and
the favorable terms the Government
offers settlers, warrants the belief
| that before the year closes not u SIN
gle farm will be without its entry
man. These farms arc located in
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming
and Nevada.
A letter addressed to The Statisti-
clan, u. S. Reclamation Slrvice,
Washington, ID. g., will secure full
information concerning the location,
soil climate, crop possibilities, aud
terms of disposal.

Mr.. Byan's First Two Campaigns.

Mr.. Bryan was handicapped eight
years ago by his insistence npon the
reaffirmation by his party of every
declaration of the famous Chicago
platform of 1895, the chief doctrine of
which was that of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio
with gold of Is to /. The business in
terests of the country felt that the
sound-money victory of 1896 absolute
ly required for it's firm establishment
another defeat of Mr.. Bryan. Thus,
uEder the circumstances which sur
rounded him eight years ago. Mr..
Bryan's fight, though foredoomed to
failure, must be regarded as one of
the most plucky and remarkable ex-
ploits of campaign in the history of
the country, and one which no other
member of his party at that time
could have equaled. 1t is not in accord
therefore, with the truth of political
history to set Mr.. Bryan down as
leader always distined to defeat. The
silver fight of 1896 was based upon
mistaken estimate of the conditions
OF the general bullion market, that
is to say, of the production of silver
and gold as commodities, and mis-
calculation of the effects that would
have been produced by opening the
American minis to silver without con-
current action by European mints.
But there was nothing lgnoble or
dishonest about uhe Chicago platform,
which was adopted in mood of in
tense conviction and sincerity by an
Embossed convention of earnest men
who were not trying to pay their
debts in cheaper money but were try
ing to establish what they thought to
be high rule of justice. They were
mistaken in their premises and in
their statistics. They have now learn
ed that monetary system cannot be
based upon the idea of an unhanging
ratio of value between two different
metals. Mr.. Bryan did not originate
the free-silver movement, and Repub-
licanS as we'll as Democrats were re-
spOnSible for its doctrines and it's
practical demands. He was simply

a time when to have adopted its pro
pOsalS would have been hazardous in
the extreme. 1t is twelve years since
Mr. Bryan made that first great ca n
paign of 1896. He was then thirty six
years of age, and he is now forty
eight. Ia all these years he has not
held public Office, but he has been
constantly before the people as a par
ty leader and an expounder of ques-
tions and issue from the standpoint
of the so-called radical wing of the
Democratic party. The very large
recent output of gold has settled the
money question ir so far as the me-
tallic standard is concerned, and Mr..
Bryan accepts the settlement. From

1t passes no one by. And when the
painful reality becomes reality in

the Joy of her family's hearts.
The flower whom all loved. But
she is gone to bloom anew, where
there is no parting, no tears. May
the God of hosts in tender mercy
hear the broken hearti and pour
the balm of consolation into the
bleeding bo3oms of her loved ones.
There is a vacancy and absence
which fills many hearts with un-
spoken anguish. The light of her
sweet smile, and the loneliness of
her unseltish disposition won for
her many friends. But God has
seen fit to take her to his home
Above, and after all why should we
weep. l
Death is only a dream; And glory
beyond the dark stream; How
peaceful they slumber, how happy
the waking for death is only a
dream.
Thou art gone 10 thy grave; we
no longer behold Thee. Whose
God was thy ransom, Thy guar

He took thee, and he will restore

of the sun began to fall with a sub

a partial eclipse and lasted for
about three hours. Enough to be
noticeable, as it was cloudess dur

Of course Greene County feels a
pride in having her distinguished
son seated in the Party's national
council chamber, but in this instan
ce he represents the old sixth Con-
gressional District and might be
viewed as lent by Wayne Co., for
the time, as it happens that a
court falls to be held in that coun-
ty just now, but the b usiness is
of an unimportant nature and he
has looked after getting sub
stitute to swing his end of the

Folks will surely not mind spar

so important a mission as Party
