inee for President, has decided after
consultation with his associates to

ka. The newspapers of Monday,

sociated Press the following inter-
view from Mr.. Bryan:
well, / am getting a great deal
OF consolation out of the way the
President and Mr.. Taft have been
doing. i used to be called hard
names because ! advocated an in

has been endorsed by the President

denounced because / favored rail-
road regulation. Now the President
and Mr.. Taft have brought that re-

Editor Bailey of the Tribune got
rid of his neighbours chickens by
printing some small cards with the
words, "Keep your d---n chickens
at home. Signed Bailey" To each
card he tied a string and to each
string a grain of corn, and then dis
tributed them in his garden. The
offending chickens of course swal-
lowed the corn and then ran home
gagglng with the cards dangling from
their beaks. The owners read the
cards and the chickens bothered no
more.

The Rolla Times says this hap
pened in .Rolla: "A woman walk
ing along the street was approached
by man who asked her to make
plain to him name and address
written on slip of paper in his
hand. Having cleared bis way be-
fore him, she said: Now, have
helped you, and | want you to do
me favor. What is it?' DO you
vOten Indeed | do She said:
When the time comes for men to de-
eide by their votes whether or not
women may vote, | want you to
vote yes for me. i can't do that
said the unlettcred voter. I'm
agin women votin'; they don't know
enough. -"
That story may sound funny to
some people, but AS long as almost
II similar thing happened to me, |
fully believe it. Several years ago
the Wednesday Club was much in
tcrested IN getting a couple Of bills
passed by the Legislature. One was
for the establishment of kindcrgar-
ten schools in the smaller cities,
and the other was that women
should be allowed to serve on school
boards. | was asked to circulate
both petitions in town, and had no
trouble getting plenty of signatures
for them both. At the Court House
one of the County Court Judges
signed the kindergarten petition
without any trouble, just to please
me, he said, for he knew it would
not do any good, but he baked at
women school directors, for he didn't
that women had sense
enough to hold such n position. He
had signed his name to the kinder
garten petition with his official title
of County Cort justus." Comment
is unnecessary.

safely established for the day under
the watchful care and eye of In
structOrs who would not only amuse
them, but instruct them as well.
Two things would be well learned,
self-control and decent regard for
the rights of others. But you can
not give things to people when they
do not want them, for they do not re-
alize the necessity for them and there
fore the plan proved failure, as the
girls department was closed several
weeks before the contract time ex-
pired. Such was the report of every

beneficial, for we read of the won
derful results accomplished in these

Speaking of failures, | want to
say ii was with great regret that /
heard that the Brotherhood Reading
Room had to close for the lack of
proper support. / felt that that was
need Of Pennington, 80 that the
boys who loafed on the streets
would have a good place to meet
and enjoy the games and reading as
well as the gymnasium. But that
was another case of giving people
something they did not want, and
SO 1t too was failure, in spite of
the efforts of a few earnest workers.
Cut this little poem out and put il
on your dresser and trust to IL for
strength and comfort:
BEYOND TO-DAY.
II we could see beyond today
As God can see.
II all the clouds should roll away,
The shadows fee,
Der present griefs we would not fret,
Each sorrow we would soon forget,
For many joys are waiting yet
For you and me.
II we could know beyond today.
As God doth know,
Why dearest treasures pass away
And tears must flow,
And why the darkness leads to light,
Why dreary paths will soon grow bright!

SOME STATEMENTS
REGARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas
Give Reason for Their Belief in Him.

With theory that human health
is dependent on the stomach and with
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. I. Cooper, comparatively
young man, has bull, up an immense
following during the past year,
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused storm OF discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens OF thousands,
and his preparation has sold in inn
mense quantities.
The sale OF this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day, In
view OF this, the following statements
from two OF the great number OF fol-
lowers which he now has are OF gen
eral interest,"
Mrs, Agnes Viggenhouser, OF 942

following to say on the subject OF the

IN FRISCO BAY
GREATEST ARRAY OF BATTLE,
SHIPS THE WORLD HAS EVER
SEEN WILL GATHER THERE
THIS SUMMER.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2O-The
great feet OF battleships, cruisers and
torpedo boats coming from the At
lantic is on the long leg OF its journey
having rounded the horn on its way
up the Pacific Coast, with San Fran
cisco as its objective point While
leisurely proceeding along its way,
stopping to accept the hospitality Of
South American nations, the feet is
giving time to the people OF San Fran
cisco for the preparations for one OF
the greatest celebrations ever seen
in this country.
To those unaccustomed to the pre-
sence of large feet OF war vessels
the full significance OF the spectacle
that will be presented in San Fran
cisco's harbor during the visit OF this
feet is not understood. There has
never before been anything just like
this spectacle will be. There have
been many assemblages OF warships
ar various times of the worlds hist
ory, but it may be said OF the coming
gathering in San Francisco Bay that
never has there been one that will
carry SO much OF the spectacular as
this.
On the Eastern coast there is nc
opportunity, such as is offered on
this bay, to have the vessels so con-
gregated as to have them all in array
under the eyes of the spectators a
one time. At New York, with the
vessels Of ap immense naval parade
strung out over many miles it was
impossible to see but few at a time
At Hampton Roads, at the time OF thu
departure of the feet, the vista wa
one of ocean, which dwarfed the yes
sells and made the spectacle appear
small. Even at that time there wer'
not so many vessels present as viii
| be in San Francisco harbor when thu
fleet comes.
In San Francisco Bay there is al
appearance of an amphitheater, ant
vast multitudes of sight-seers car
congregate on the surrounding hill
of the City and look down upon sucl
concourse of ships as was neve
before gathered together in all times
| 1t will be the sight of life time, AM
lit is probable that never again will
those now living have similar op
portunity to gaze upon such a scene
These vessels are the highest type Il
existence, and the congregated flee
will represent the flowers of the sec
ond navy Of the world, and in addit
ion to the vessels which formed tn
parade OF the Atlantic feet at Hamp
ton Road, will have the combines
Pacific feet as we'll forming such al
aggregation as even the people of tn
we'll protected Atlantic Coast hav
never seen.
