THE ANONYMOUS LETTER
SENDER.

In all the realm of social affairs
and in the relations of human beings
toward each nther, there is no one
more despicable outside TIE pale CT
actual criminals than the pers m wflo
sends an anonymous letter Nothing
more cowarGly could be imagined. 1t
at once stamps the sender as devcid
of intelligent discernment and respect
ful character. Not daring to face the
victim with the charge embodied in
the letter, the sender cringes behind
handwriting and with the
poisoned dart of Anonymous authorship
proceeds to blacken the character of
the person addressed, with a heart
as malignant as if inspired by the
spirit of assassination.
fortunately, anonymous letter send
ers or writers are few in number, but
almost every community possesses pne
or more. Sometimes they are known,
but often they escape the odium which
they so much deserve. They are both
a disgrace To their sex and to the
in which they live.

The spirit of rebellion at dictation
or coercion, is in the heart OF almost
every human being. The person who
marks out ar imaginary ch1lkline for
another TO tread, whether that other
person be husband or wife, neighbor or
friend. and then criticises or quarrels
with the other one for failing to toe
the mark" is almost sure 10 do more
injury than good in the way Of reform.
There is more or less stubbornness in
all of us. Kindness, patience and
persuasion will always accomplish
more than coercion and nagging. It's
Just human nature and you can't get
around il.

Mr.. Bryan Should Retire.

They are discussing at Washington
whether Mr.. Bryan will be a candi-
date for the Presidency again. 1t is
too early to speculate on the posi-
bilities Of the race four years hence,
but il looks now like Mr.. Bryan
should not again be a candidate.
Three efforts of the Democratic par
ty TO elect him have failed and while
BIZ is the g eatest man in either party
a majority of the electorate doesn't
seem to want him for President and
the party must turn to some one else.
Mr.. Bryan will continue to be a po-
tent force, but never again ought he
to think of being a candidate for the

Burlington, Kan, Nov. 21..-The Rev

vival meeting here, has issued an OPP

Mr.. Oliver, 81 wrote you letter
In which | stated my conviction THAT
you should preach tire Gospel, and
added the statement ttat If you would
consecrhte your wonderful talents to
Gcd as an evangelist, the Bryan of
the Twentieth century would equal the
Paul of the First century, as a champ
ion of the cause of Christ
Personally your three defeats have
been three sources Of SORROW to me, as
hoped to see you elected do the
Presidency. Wto knows? Perhaps God
has withheld the Presidency from you
in order that You may become more TO
your country than President. l am
firmly convinced that one Ambassador

Five STAGES Of Popularity.

There are five stages in a Presi-
dents popularity:
1. On election; great acclaim and
general praise.
2. During administration; contin-
ual criticism of beth kinds, praise and
censure: liked by some, detested and
maligned Ivy 1tlsrs.
3. On leaving office; popularity at
zer); a feeling Of relief that his pow
er is at an end; all eyes On his sue
cessor.
4. Ten years after retirement; pre-
ailing respect Of thepeople; a return
of popularity; a general feeling that
I've made a gI3d President; compari-
SONS in his favor with tine President
then in office.
5. Death; universal and overwh elm
ing eulogy; an honcred place in his

In discussing the matter of the Au-
ditor's Agents sale of land, which
seems to have created so much I'M
necessary excitement in the columns of
the Hartford Republican and its can
didntes for county offices, that paper
undertakes to lay the blame for this
back-tax collection upon the Demo
cratic party and the Hartford Herald.
1t seems b. assume that these taxes,
even if they are found just and due,
should not be paid. The Legislature
enacted the law, and The Herald has
nothing to do with the matter, only
to publish, the announcement of sale
and list of unpaid taxes for a certain
price.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed
to be a constitutional disease and
years doctors pronounced it local
diseases and prescribed local remed-
les, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease andd
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-

SATISFACTION I'M
Burnley DISTRICT
Our Big Sale of Pooled
Tobacco.
100000 POUNDS TAKEN
Over and $14,000.000 Will
be Paid Kentucky Grow
erS of the Weed.

The big deal between tn Amrican
Tobacco company and the Burley To
bacco society for the 1906 and a part
of the 1907 crops of tobacco, which, has
been Hanging fire for several weeks,
was closed at Louisville, last week.
The price agreed on in the transac-
tion, the largest of its kind ever put
Through, is an average cf 20h cents
for the 1906 crop and II cents per
pound for the 1907 product.
The deal involves nearly S0,000,-
900 pounds of tobacco held in p,cl
by the Burley Tobacco society and
the outlay something like $4,000
900 on the part Of the American To-
bacco company, practically all of this
money being placed in circulation at
once in Central Kentucky.
The tobacco sold includes the larg-
er part of the Burnley Growers as
ISOLATION which was formed several
years ago and which pcoled its crops
in 1906 and 1907. There was MO crop
raised by the members of the associa-
ton in 1905, though number Of in
dependents raised large crops in Cen
trail Kentucky under guard.
According to many who are in a
position to know, the sale Of the pool
ed crop will mark an end tn night
riding in Central Kentucky for tie
present at least, for it is believed
with these crops out Of the way, all
growers will raise tobacco next year.
The sale has n2thing to do with
the crops in the dark district or in
the Western portion of Kentucky and
Northern Tennessee.
1t develops that TIE chief conterItion
before the conference of tie tobacco
growers and the American company
was as to whether tire American To-
bacco Company should pay SO in out
age fees" on every hogsAead cf tobac-
co purchased by the company. One
OF the iron. clad articles in the crgani-
Zatiln of tie Burley TJbacco Society
is TIRE one requiring any purchaser Of
pooled tobacco 10 pay to the socisty
So in outage for every hI2gshead of To-
bacco bought.
The American company did not care
to pay tbis and fought it to the Last
ditch LeEus and the growers st)oG
pat, and the company finally yielded
1t will pay SO for every hogshead in
addition to the money to be paid FIR
the tobacco, and this will approximate
100000 This money, so it is said,
gees 10 pay warehouse charges and
maintaining the society.
