"Kitchel-Minded"

This epithet is applied to women
who are too much engrossed wit
domestic affairs. The word is eviden, :
]y meant as reproach. No doul
there are women who give too mut
time to the kitchen, as there are othe4
who give too little. Who will under
take to decide just how much time is
enough? That a woman should grow
like the place in which she spends
most of her time is not strange. She
might become parlor-minded; but
many of US, like George Eliot, enjoy a
clean kitchen best of all. What we
all need is broad contact with life
along with Our specialty.-In The
Circle for February.

n Memoriam.

Mr.. Martin w. Butt, son or Mr. and
Mrs. George Buff, was born in Lex
ington county, S. c., November II,
1876, and died at his home December
16, 1907, making his earthly pilgrim
age 81 years, 1 month and days.
His early training in piety led him, to
connect himself with Mt. Hebron
Methodist church, Of which he lived
a consistent member until his death.
He served in the Confederate army,
and was a faithful soldier until the
close of the war. He leaves loving
wife, three children and three sisters,
besides a large host of friends TO
mourn his loss. One son, Daniel R.
Buff, has gone to that beautiful home
above. May God be with us in our
trying hours.
Dearest father, how we miss you,
All our hearts are filed with grief;
But we trust We'll meet you,
On the happy golden shore.
Where there'l be no more sorrow,
Where there'll be no more good byes,
For this parting is awful hard,
Because you told Us so.
In the solemn hour of day brake,
In the silence calm and deep;
Lying on his peaceful bed,
Father fell asleep.
In Mt. Hebron's quite church yard
There is now new-made mound;
And the fo1m that was so cherished,
Has been laid beneath the ground.
But up yonder in the portal
That is shining very fair;
Father is now sheltered,
By the Saviour's loving care.
Father, you have left US,
Lonely are our hearts to-day;
Death has of you bereft US,
Taken you so far away.
Youhave crossed the cold, dark river,
Angels hold you by the hands;
You are safe from storms forever,
Safe within that promised land.
Nine long weeks you bore your suf-
" fering,
Without murmur or complaint;
Only trusting in your God
And leaning on His strong arm.
How we miss your gentle footsteps
Miss each kind and gentle word;
No more in the lonely household
Will your tender voice be heard.
Dear, Oh! how we loved you,
No pen can write, no tongue can
tell,
But the gentle Shepherd called you,
We must bid long farewell.
For alas, the Saviour called him,
Called him from this world of war;
And his spirit has ascended
From this earthly home below.
You have gone to be with Jesus,
With the loved ones up there;
How you longed to see your darling
son!
Called him almost to the last.
How sad it is to part,
With the ones we prize so high;
To watch beside the bed
And see our father die.
Oh, Jesus! dry our tears
And bind our broken hearts;
We will our father meet
And never with him part.
So, fare the well, dear father!
You have only gone before,
For if we are but as faithful
We shall reach the golden shore.

Shaped In Heroic Mold.

Since time began no grander tribute was ever paid to any man by free people. He is recognized today as the most representative citizen of the na- ton. the peer of any living man.
 Friends and foes have learned that he was shaped in that heroic mold In which the worlds great patriots. states men and leaders have been cast.
 First nominated when ten years younger than any other presidential candidate ever chosen by a prominent party, living in state 800 miles far ther west than that in which any pres ident has ever lived. he has grown In the affections of the people as the years have passed
 Speaking and writing freely on all subjects, his heart has had no secrets and his friends have increased in num- bers and in confidence.
 Without an organization to urge his claims. without campaign fund to cir culate literature in his behalf, without patronage to bribe a single voter, with out a predatory corporation to coeree Its employees into his support, without a subsidized newspaper to influence the public mind, he has won signal yic' tory at the primaries and has become the free choice of the militant Democ- racy of the nation.
 Forming in one unbroken phalanx, extending from Massachusetts to Call. fornia and from Michigan to the Ever glades. the yeomanry of the party have volunteered their services to make him the party candidate, and they will not lay down their arms until they have made him the nations chief executive.
 Nebraskas Democracy, which saw in him when young man the signs of promise. places in nomination as the standard bearer of our party the man who in the thrilling days of '96 and 1900 bore the battle scared banner of Democracy with fame as unsullied and fidelity as spotless as the crusaders of old. Nebraska presents his name be- cause Nebraska claims his dwelling place and proudly enrolls him among her citizens. but his home is in the hearts of the people.

from restraint and to overthrow and discredit all who honestly administer the law; that the methods by which these men have acquired their great fortunes can only be justified by a sys tenn of morality that would permit every form of criminality, every form of violence, corruption and fraud.
 For many years, and especially dur. ing the last twelve years. these very men have been in control of the Repub lican party. They have financed every campaign of that party for a quarter of century.
 Exploiters of the People.
 These exploiters of the people, whom the president has so scathingly de nounced, have given their enthusiastic support to the Republican candidates and policies. They laid their hands upon the trust funds of insurance com. panies and other corporations and turned the plunder over to the Repub lican committee. The money thus flched from the innocent and helpless to purchase Republican victory has not been repaid.
 And where do we find these men to dayi Where are the swollen for. tunes" of which we have heard so much? Just where we would expect to find then-supporting the Repub hcan ticket and furnishing the sinews of war for the Republican committee as usual.
 The platform adopted by the late convention shows what the Republican party in truth represents. In framing the platform every genuine reform which the president has advocated was scorned and repudiated. The wiscon sin delegation asked that one or tive reform blanks be placed in the plat form and for its pains was denounced Democratic. ThecOnvention by a vot. of eight to one refused to approve those policies which the president for four years has been urging upon his party The mask of hypocrisy has been torn from the face of those who pretend to favor the reforms advocated by the president. and 1t Is now apparent why the system admires Taft and hates the senator from Wisconsin. When compelled to choose between an appeal Co the conscience of the nation in de fense of its platform and candidates on the one hand and the millions that the special interests may be depended upon to contribute on the other. that convention rejected the people and con tinued It's alliance with Mammon.
 If the charges made by the president are true. and they are true. we are ln- deed face to face with a situation ss grave as any in our history. How shall # be metl The good sense. patriotism and united action of the people alone can remedy present evils
 To wage sEccessfuI fight we must have leader. The RepubIiesn party. dominated by the seekerS of special privileges. cannot furnish him Repub- Ecsns who really desire reform are poweriess. The efforts of the president have been futile

 The corporation is able to buy, to sell. to manufacture. to compete. to sue ae law, 10 recover. to convey, to hold. fo gain and to accumulate.

 Choice of the Militant Democracy of
 the Nation--Exploiters of the Peo-
 pIe-crisis Faced by the Republic.
 In presenting the name of William Jennings Bryan to the Democratic na- tional convention. Ignatius J. Dunn, former city attorney of Omaha, spoke as follows:
 Mir. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Conyention-Crises arise in the life of nations which endanger their institu- tions and at times imperil the ad- vance of civilization.
 Every people that has left its i'm. press upon history has faced such crises.
 In most instances where grave dan gers have threatened the safety of the state some great character, soma master mind, has been found, pro duced, as it were, by the, conditions themselves, with capacity to direct alright the energies of the people.
 This was true of the ancient world. It has been true of the modern world. It is true of this republic.
 We have such crisis to meet today. The favor seeking corporations have gradually strengthened their hold upon the government until they now menace popular institutions.
 The question is whether this gov. ernment shall be restored to the con trol of the people and be administered in the interest of all or whether 1t shall remain an instrument in the hands of the few for levying tribute upon all the rest.
 In his special message to congress last winter President Roosevelt de. clared substantially that certain wealthy men who have become enor. mously rich by expressing the wage earner, defrauding the public and prac. ticing all forms of iniquity have band. ed together and by the unlimited use of money endeavor to secure freedom
