Good morning Mr.. Editor and
helpers, again l come with my
very limited amount of knowledge
and Leg admission to your columns.
| will leave the little happenings
for others to tell, and try and tell
of lovely home I visited recently.
There is large family of grown
up and small children, from the
'tot" to handsome refined young
men and ladies in this home
There is no costly furnishings,
but all is neat and comfortable.
There is no disloy atty to parents
or each other, no fault finding, no
disputing each others word, no
Jaring of any sort, but all is peace
and harmony. / imagine 1t is a
kin to that home in Betheny where
our Redeemer used to go for rest
and companiCnship. In this home
the father loves his children and
does not "provoke them to anger. !"
he also loves the children s
mother as "Christ also loved the
Church." He sets a good example
bsfore his children, in that no
profale or unchaste talk comes
from his lips. Neither does any
"boOze" or tobacco enter his
mouth. All for more homes
like this, for on the homes
hang the destiny of our
nation. While ] was enjoying the
hallowed sweetness of that home
my sister and her husband and
their two little children from
Carbonhill came to visit my home.
l would love to have welcomed
them, but 1t seemed we are not to
have too many good things at the
same time. Come again my sister,
| will try 10 be home the next
time.
Now little about the enemy of
these homes of ours, 'the saloon"
We are reading 50 much about the
"bad" saloon going and the
'good" saloon staying. Now,
| am so radical as to believe there
ls no such thing as "good"
saloon, and the bad and the good
are both alike, necessary.
"Oh the revenue, the revenue "
''Our tax will be higher; we must
have the Dow tax or our nation
will go to sticks" Such argu-
nents are 80 tiresome; the person
making, is either antsgonistie or
mis- head 10 call hollow, hollow,
lollow." No use tn waste words
IN such.
Now brothers lets GUST all of |
hem, the good and the bad.
FARMER FRIEND.

|. N. Stiers, of Logan, was here one
day last week seeking the nomination
for County Auditor on the Republi-
can ticket, but what will he do with
the nomination if he should get it,
for if the miners vote as they talk
Ward township will help to bury old
Injunction Bill Taft so deep in Hook
ing County he will never again be
head of in politics, SO faras old Hooking
is concerned AS we have said before
land will say so again,) this is the old
Bill Taft that issued an injunction
against the railroad boys during the
great strike of 1894, and would not
allow an organized man to travel a
foot on the 81 railroads operating in
Ohio at that time. And this is the
same Taft that arbitrated the dis
pute between the miners and oper-
ators of Jackson County when they
asked for cents difference between
the high coal of the Hooking Valley
and the low coal of Jackson district.
and Mr.. Taft said there was no reas-
on why the miners should have more
for it. There is not miner or rail
road boy in Ohio that will ever mine
or handle lump of coal that is any
blacker than Mr.. Taft's labor record.
When such men as Mr.. Gompers and
John Mitchell take part in politics
it is about time that the labor
ing class should take notice.

A Piano Player.

Carl Brown, of Columbus, Ohio,
has invented a wonderfully simple
attachment, which if placed under
the key board of any body's piano,
will make the instrument self-play
ing.
The inventor has worked three
years and expended some $4,000,
but has perfected n wonderful
device which plays better than
performers.
A company has been formed and
Is already making and putting
attachments on peoples pianos,
and profit of 800 is made on
each order. The Stockholders of
the company. are located in various
parts of Ohio. The business ia
about to be extended to other
cities and towns which requires
additional capital. Stock in the
company may now be secured at
but $50 per share, which within
60 days will probably be advanced
to 800 per share.
Prospectus and illustrations of
the invention will be mailed post
paid on addressing the inventors
at BOB East .ong street, Colum-
bus, who is also the secretary and
manager of the company.

Something of Wife of Democratic
Candidate for President

Mrs Bryan is a woman of intel
lectuaIity and strength of character,
and had she not become distinguished
as the wife of renowned statesman,
she might easily have won fame for
her achievements in literature or some
learned profession.
Mary Elizabeth Baird was born at

of good old sturdy stock, her mother.

Dexterville, N. Y, now a part of
jamestown on Chautauqua lake. Her
father, John Baird, whose death oc-
Cured May 8, 1905, was of Scotch
Irish ancestry, his lineage dating back
to Col. Henry Winter, one of the most
prominent men of Northampton coun-
ty. Pennsylvania, in the early years of
the nineteenth century. In 1928 Col.
Winter was presidential elector from
PENNSYLVANIA, and cast his vote for
Andrew Jackson. He was appointed a
courier to deliver the report of the
electoral vote in Washington and made
the trip on horseback.
AS a girl Miss Baird enjoyed good
educational advantages. Her education
was begun in the public schools, after
which she attended Monticello semi
nary at Godfrey. H., one year, and the
Presbyterian academy at Jacksonville,
H., two years. graduating from the
latter institution with first honors in
June, 1881. She returned the next

BORAX! NATURES DISlNFECTANT,
CLEANSER AND PURIFIER


Everybody realizes the necessity or
some method of publication of sinks.
drains and utensils in which may Turk
the germ Of dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the
use of disinfectants in their ordinary
sense-all of which are unpleasantly
associated with disagreeable odors, on
which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (Which disinfectants must of
necessity be of a more or less danger
Gus character) and must be used for
this purpose and for no other, and in
consequence kept from children and
careless handling.
There is, however, within the reach
of all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multitude
of domestic cleansing and purifying
purposes--BoraX.
BoraX is a pure, white harmless pow
der coming direct from Natures lab
oratory; in fact BoraX has often been
called Natures Cleanser and Disin-
fectant."
Two tablespoonfuls of BoraX in a
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of sink, or
flushed through a disease-laden drain.
cleanses and purifies it, leaving it
clean and sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in q
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, if washed in
hot solution of Borax water.
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion if Borax is
used when washing them. Pure as
snow and harmless as salt, and be-
cause it can be used for almost every
domestic and medical purpose, BoraX
must be considered the one great
household necessity.

while at college that she met Mr..
Bryan, and the happy romance of her
life was begun. He was at that time
attending the Illinois college. Their
betrothal was made while they were
both juniors, their marriage following
four years later, in 1884. They resided
in Jacksonville until their removal to
Nebraska three years later.
Becomes Practical Partner.
In order to keep herself in closer
touch with his professional life, Mrs.
Bryan read law with her husband as
instructor, taking the course pre-
scribed by the Union College of Law
of Chicago. She was admitted to
practice in the supreme court of Ne
braska in November, 1888, not having
the intention of practicing as a means
of livelihood, but that her knowledge
of the profession might be OF greater
value in the constant and careful as
sistance she rendered Mr.. Bryan in
his work.
Mrs. Bryan is also fond of literature
and the languages. She devoted one
year to the special study OF literature
in the Illinois college, and during more
recent years has taken postgraduate
course of one year in German at the
Nebraska State university. She says
that every mother necessarily keeps
her knowledge of Latin somewhat
fresh in memory through the school
days of her children, while helping
them TO conquer Caesar and vanquish
Cicero, but for her own part sne nnds
her greatest pleasure in the study OF
German. She is fond of music, but
makes no pretense at being an adept
in that art.
Mrs Bryan believes that her flrst
and best efforts should be devoted 10
the welfare of her home and Iamlly.
Such duties have claimed so mucn OF
her time that little has been LETT lot
other work. She has been both moth
er and companion to her children, AID
ing them through the struggles OF
school days, giving always of her love
and wisdom for their growth IN educa-
ton and culture.
There are three children, the eldest,
Ruth. who, since her marriage to Mr..
w. H. Leavitt in October, 1913, mas
made her home in New Orleans. Ihen

Although the platform on which he
stood excited much opposition from
many sources, Mr.. Bryan claimed that
1t represented his convictions, and an
nounced his readiness to defend every
plank. Immediately after his nomina-
ton he began one of the most vigor-
Gus and memorable campaigns ever
carried on by candidate for the
presidency. 1t is estimated that dur
ing his canvass he travelled over 49,
900 miles.
Two months before the nomination
Mr. Bryan is reported to have said,
in an interview which he wished not
to be published at that time: II
think l shall be the next president
of the United States. 1 am confident
that | shall be nominated in Chicago,
and if nominated 1 am sure shall be
elected. / think Mckinley will be
the Republican nominee. and he can
be beaten. 1t is a matter I have
never said much about, but l believe
in destiny, and ever since | was IA
years of age l have felt that l was
destined to rise to position of prom
inence and Importance.
When l was nominated for con-
gress and elected, 1 regarded that as
stepping stone to something great
er. Lately l have been considering
the question of the presidency, and 1
somehow have feeling that the honor
of the nomination will come to me. "
After Mr.. Bryan's defeat at the polls
he continued to advocate the free coin
age of silver. He made many speeches
on the tariff question, one of which
was delivered in Boston, where he
has since spoken on several coca

Colonel in Spanish American War.
On the outbreak of the Spanish
American war he was offered and &C
cepted the colonelcy of the Third
Nebraska volunteers, and was for some
time with his regiment at Tampa, Fla,
but did not take any active part in
the struggle. On his return to Nebras-
ka Mr.. Bryan again entered into
the field of political activity, and
spoke against the scheme of colonial
expansion introduced by the Mckinley
administration on the cession of the
Philippine islands by Spain.
In 1900 he was again nominated for
the presidency by Democratic, Popu-
list and silver Republican conventions.

but was once more defeated, receiv-
ing in the electoral college 155 votes
against 292 for William Mckinley.
Mr.. Bryan was deeply interested in
literature, and was several times con-
nected with journalism. In 1S94-6 he
was editor of the Omaha World-Her-
aid, and now carries on weekly po-
litical newspaper, The Commoner, at
Lincoln. In 1906 he made a tour OF
the world and wrote descriptive ar
ticles while abroad for a number of
American newspapers. The books he
has written include "The First Battle, :
1897; Under Other Flags" 1904;
1.-THE Old World and It's Ways" 1907.

The Candy Girl.

He was one of those sentimental
chaps who imagine the only way to
capture a girls heart is to send her
volumes of poetry. Selecting a book
of seasonable verse he sent it to his
lady fair with the following scrubbed
on the fiy-leaf:
dearest, as I seek your heart,
A book of verse 1 do impart!'
And the pretty but sensible girl,
who did not care rap if Shakespeare
had been a pirate instead of poet,
returned the verses with the following
lines:
''To the woods with this sludge.
If my heart you'd really bulge,
Send me up a pound of fudge
