One Appreciative Reader.

Pasted on the cover of one library
copy of a certain 1907 novel is a cir
culation record that causes profound
vonderment. The book has been
taken out of the library fourteen times
in ALL twelve times on the same card.
That remarkable record is a matter
for serious speculation. How could a
book of that caliber convey to any soul
a message so tremendous that a dozen
readings were desired? BY the aver
age reader and by critics 1t would be
considered commonplace book
When published it created no discus
sion made no impression; 1t deserved
to make none. yet, Notwithstanding it's
apparent mediocrity. some scene
therein, some character, some human
note, went straight to the heart of at
least one reader. There has been no
skipping in reading that book. 1t has
been read carefully from cover to

of usage. This very evidencel of alb

FOLLOWING TAFT.
Bryan Addresses an Immense
Audience at Galesburg.

Galesburg, ILL.,, Oct. 10.-Standing
on the same platform from which Mr..
Taft, his Republican opponent only a
few days ago delivered an address, W.
J. Bryan denounced President Roose-
Welt once again for participating in
the campaign in behalf of Mr.. Taft.
asserted that Mr.. Taft could give no
promise of real, reform and attacked
the Republican party generally for as
charged, its injustice to the laboring
men and the people generally. When
the special train bearing the presi-
Dental candidate pulled into the sta
ton a great crowd cheered him
vociferously but upon his arrival at
Knox college where the platform was
erected, he faced one of the largest
audiences that ever assembled here.
He took for his theme Justice" and
hinged his preliminary remarks on a
quotation from Plutarch that "men
entertain three sentiments concerning
the gods. They fear them for their
power, admire them for their wisdom
and love them for their justice"
Referring to Mr.. Taft's visit, Mr..
Bryan remarked:
at is no new thing for you to see
the next president, for having seen
my opponent Mr.. Taft and now see
ing me you are certain that you have
seen the next president although
neither of us is as certain as we would
like to be which one it is. And here
too you saw those of you who lived at
that time two men who were pitted
against each other in one of the most
bitter contests that has been known
in the history of the world for 1 think
1 am safe in saying that the records
of time give no parallel to the great
series of debates between Lincoln and
Douglass"
Referring to the quotation from
Plutarch, Mr.. Bryan said that justice
had been his theme % years ago and
justice was his theme today. He
said he would try to show how on
several different questions, the Demo-
cratic party was appealing for justice.
He then spoke concerning publicity of
campaign contributions before cleo
ton and ridiculed Mr.. Taft for ex-
pressing a personal inclination" to-
ward that proposition and not COM
ing out squarely for it. Following a
denunciation of Speaker Cannon and
Mr.. Sherman, the Republican vice
presidential nominee for as he said.
sitting in the house of representatives
legislation that would benefit the peo-
pie, he took up the labor question.
The crowd was moved to rousing
cheers when he declared the Demo-
cratic party insists upon justice to
those who toll.
1.-The Republican party" he said
has allowed the lobbyists of great
corporation interests to stifle labor
legislation" and he informed his
hearers that the Democratic partys
remedy was to handle the laboring
man as a human being and not as
mere piece of merchandise.

Pratt, He Saves the Crops.

When they need rain down Essex
way the people send for Dick Pratt, a
peddler, who is known as the rain
bringer." For a number of months
1t has been noticed that almost on
every visit Pratt paid to Essex it was
pretty sure to rain.
A protracted drought threatened
late crops in Essex last week Dick
had not been to Essex in six weeks.
He drove unexpectedly into town Sat-
urday. and that night before he de-
parted the clouds began to gather. and
next morning 1t was raining hard. The

saved.-Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to

HUGHES IN KANSAS.
New York Governor Greeted at All
Stopping Places by Crowds.

Yates Center, Kan, Oct. 1O.-Gover-
nor Hughes Of New York arrived here
about 1880 in the morning from Wichita
in his special car and was met at the
Missouri Pacific depot by about 1000
of the citizens of Woodson county
headed by the Yates Center band. The
crowd became impatient because the
governor kept it waiting for half an
hour while he ate his breakfast. When
he did make his appearance, he only
spoke five minutes which was all the
time he had at his disposal, but it
was a good speech and every word to
the point. He earnestly advised the
voters to give their support to that able
exponent of the Roosevelt ideas, WILL
lam H. Taft.

ask who they are for. but ask who they
are against. They will answer you with
refreshing vindictiveness.'
Bryan has been tried and tested. he
has been put on the scales twice be-
fore. When you put justice and sound
judgment on one side of the scales and
Bryan on the other. he goes up in the
air so fast he cannot stay on. We

strengthening of business, confidence

Chas. E. Hughes of New York and w.
r. Stubs, Republican candidate for
governor of Kansas. arrived in Pitts
burg on a special train in the after
noon about Is minutes behind schedule.
A great crowd had assembled at the
Missouri Pacific depot, where the spec
ial stopped ten minutes and Governor
Hughes addressed the crowd from the
rear of the train. The crowd greeted
the New York governor enthusiastic
cally. Just as great an ovation was
given w. r. Stubs. the Republican
candidate for governor. who was with
Governor Hughes. Mr.. Stubs left the
special train here and spoke at the CITY
hall. Governor Hughes had only a few
minutes in which to speak. He was
not through when the train started to
pull out. His talk was directed espec-
Tally to the working men. You work

change. You do not want Democratic

The Kansas primary law trainers
weer hit pretty hard in the decision of
the supreme court to compel the con-
test board in Barber county to re-
count the ballots in the representative
contest. Samuel Griffin lost in the
primary by two votes. The contest
board refused to consider his case
until the supreme court compelled
them to get to work. On the recount
Griffin secured the nomination over
William Gesner by two votes. The
court in its formal decision today says
that those who wrote the primary law
apparently did not recognize the eff
feet of quoting bodily provisions of the
general election law. In many points
the general election law was not ap-
plicable to the primary law but the
law was inserted just the same. The
court says that as 1t now stands the
provisions of the primary law relating
to contests for representatives whose
districts are not more than one coun-
ty are absolutely unavoidable. There
fore the court had to get the best 1t
could out of the law as it stands The
contest board in Barber county was
put to work on the recount several
weeks ago by writ of mandamus
