FATHER AND MOTHER

The school childen Of Oak Park,
suhurb of Chicag6h we're recently asked
vote. slse-ze--is Is ar s,ar
best ana greatest PerS0" WI"
livedT
A partial statement of the result Is
given as follows: Lincoln, IA; wash
lngton, II; Mckinley, 6; Roosevelt, 4;
King Arthur, 3; Joan Of Arc, 3; MY
Father" 3; "My Mother" 3; King Solo
mon, l.
Here is an interesting revelation OF
the child mind.
The first thing that strikes one Is the
overwhelming patriotic trend OF the
children. Another thing is the entire
absence of the commercial spirit. There
Is no millionaire or captain Of industry
on the list.
IT may be stated that those chlldel
who voted for their fathers anc
mothers voted their real sentiments
The other votes are the reflection o.
adult opinion.
my father"
BLESSINGS on the head Of the children
who cast that ballot! The normal chll'
Is the one who thinks its father u
greatest and best man. If the chh'
thinks otherwise there Is sometnln
the matter with it or with the father
The father has every advantage 1
that from the first the child looks u
TO him. He only needs to be a hrr
but gracious sovereign to be AWAY
the king There are those of us WI
have gray threads in our hair who u
believe that father" is the grande;
and noblest man we have ever know
"My mother"
Those votes came naturally. The
voiced a real conviction. On secol
thought every child would have VIII
q fen mother on his ticket. You WI
sometimes find a person who does n
love his father. Rare are those, cn

THE OLD HORSE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

He Is no longer a beauty, Is old BILL
He is knockkneed. as you can see'
where he stands there obedient 70 your
will But fifteen years ago those legs
were as neat and trim as those OF any
thoroughbred. They have been saggeu
IN vour service. With pride In MS
going qualities you drove MIN pen
nell over hard roads and paYemehts.
And YOU let him stand by the hour at
bltching rack while you dailled'
Stamping in summer to keep OH tue
flies and i'm winter to keep his BLOOD
I'm circulation, pounded over paVeplents'
what wonder he is bowlegged now'
His old head droops.
You remember when there was
lordly arch in that neck, clothed with
thunder" But you used the over
check. causing painful tension OF tne
aexor muscles of the neck, hindering
full respiration and circulation OF the
blood and causing quick fatigue. NOW
he can hold his head up only for a
short time.
Note the punches of gray hair on
Bills back.
Those are saddle gals made by your
hard riding and his willingness 10 20
YOUR gait. You forgot to put blanket
5 under the saddle when you hurried
r TO ride for the doctor or to eaten up
| with other fellows up road.
He is sweenied also.
You did that. The collar OF one set
Of harness failed to fit BilPs shoulders.
= and the names Of another set were not
L adjusted as well as they ought to have
+ been. The seasons were dry and dusty
s and his shoulders were often sore'
e though Bill never complained!
d And his eyes are bad.
n His normal angle Of vision, as OF all
horses. is earthward, but you reined
- him up. causing eye strain. And you
drove first with and then without
u blinders. Dust and lack Of sunshade
Is helped. And when Bill got cinder
or dust in his eye he never spoke
about 1t and you didn't notice. YOU
see, the animal simply couldn't wipe
his eyes.
IS Blemishes?
er Plenty Of them. Note the bumps anc
is scars on old Bills legs. There was
IS time when he interfered and you di(
not have him properly shod. Turne'
into q field in winter that was fence'
i'll with wire, he could scarcely exercis
a himself without injury. You held III
head so abnormally high with you
checkrein that he often stumbled whe
moving.
Some good in him yet?
OF course. You have rot quite SUI
gu ceeded in killing the faithful old fe
-hc I,Tv. and sometimes. when bis dise'
'er tton has been good and there Is leye
stretch Of road, something of the oil
is spirit gets into him. But it is pathet
sh- to see how soon he is played out.
4; There he stands-old Bill.
Nv AS he is, so you have made hin
10 You have abused him, and he sti
loves you and whinnies at your al
proach. He will live for you and woI
- for you till he dies.
Take good care Of old Bill.

MILK AND KINDNESS.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

Think Of it
If you work at the dairy farm OF
Mrs Addle +. Howie you must say
Good morning" to her cows.
Eleven years ago Mrs. Howie was
n Milwaukee society woman. Now she
IS the acknowledged authority on Jer-
sey cattle breeding in this country.
More than that.
She is on the staff of the Wisconsin
Agricultural college as a lecturer, and
students of dairy work and stock
breeding come from all over the coun-
trv TO attend her lectures. Eleven
years ago she was afraid to look a'
q cow" as she puts 1t.
What new thing has this successiui
woman contributed to the science OF
cattle breeding? Chiefly this:
She employs kindness
Now. you would scarcely suppose
that the yield of a cows milk could be
doubled by kindness? Mrs. HOWE mas
proved that to be true.
She says every stroke Of petting, ev'
cry word of love and every bit OF ap
nreciation and attention bestowed on
cow will come back to you in dollars
and cents. Put in affection with you
scientific feeding and l promise 1t VII
repay you"
For instance:
Mrs. Howie coaxed and caresse'
TWENTY-FIVE pounds and five ounces o
butter out Of Sadie lie Pet, one OF ne
fayorites. in seven days. She seii
calves for $500 apiece, and they ar
bespoken before they are born. An
her COWS take first prizes whereVe
they are shown.
OF course you must really love you
COW if you want to double her yiel
of milk by kindness. Mrs. HoWie
, in love with her pretty creatures.
Isn't the woman's theory fine?
And it has its uses. .
: You may lecture brutal owner OF
COW about being kind to all OF Goo
l. creatures and it will never get una
K his skin. But show him that he
cheating himself out Of dollars-tha'
another story.
And by analogy
If it pays to be kind to a cow "
l. it not pay to be kind to morse OF
dog-or even a human being?

poinn Without the Dot.

The small letter 81" was formerly
rr,tten without the dot. The dot was
introduced in the fourteenth century
70 distinguish "i' from "e" in hasty
and indistinct writing. The letter II
was originally used where the letter
"ip IS now employed. The distinction
between 'l' and "j' was introduced by
the Dutch printers at comparatively
recent date, and the 81" was dotted
because the ST." from which it was de
rived. was written with dot.

OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING.

From every quarter comes the
news that harmony prevails i'm
democratic circles and indications
point to the election of Bryan
and Kern, a sweeping victory in
the State and an increased ma
jority for Mr.. Crawford in the
tenth district. Mr.. Thos. j.
Pence, the well-known Washing
ton correspondent of the Raleigh
News and Observer, keeps an
ear to the ground all the time"
In a recent issue of that paper
we find the following:
SIT is the observation of poll
ticians of all parties here that
the Democrats are entering the
campaign in better shape than at
any time since 1892. Not a tao
tical mistake has yet been made,
and in the selection of National
chairman, there is nothing but
commentator. The choice of
Norman E. Mack is regarded as
the very best that could have
been made, andis accepted every
where as excellent strategy. Mr..
Mack is not only a successful
business man, but he is a good
politician, and will bring ele-
ments of strength to the cam
management that few
others could. Harmony was the
result of the Denver convention,
and with a united party back of
him Mr.. Mack will give the Re
publicans all they want in this
campaign. That is a liberal in
depreciation of the situation here
in Washington, where thousands
of politicians do nothing but talk
of the Presidential outcome"
This means that the democrats
are entering the fight with hope
and determination, which is
half the battle. There ap-
pears to be no disturbing ell
ements of consequence. The
is satisfactory, the
leaders are united and the time
is ripe for a democratic victory.
1t is coming.
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1908-08-06

w. A. Hilderbrand, editor of
the Greensboro Industrial News,
recently handed out some pretty
hot stuff concerning J. Elwood
Cox, a prominent republican of
High Point, stating among other
things, that if Mr.. Cox should be
nominated for Governor by the
republicans, some one besides
him (Hilderbrand) would have
to write the editorials for the
Industrial News supporting him.
The trouble grew out of the
refusal of Cox to take a share OF
stock in the doodler's organ last

Democratic Congressional
Chairman Lloyd says the demo
Gratis will make considerable
gains in the house membership
at the approaching, election.

country is in a ferment. There
was never anything like the pro-
test against Cannonism, and it
will be put right to the front in
the campaign"
