The Busy Married Man.

The Busy Married Man.
When "a man is safely married,
You would like as not suppose
That, his troubles being over,
He had entered on repOse,
But just then he hears his lovee,
loyee
Murmur questions such as these:
Us my back hair flying. dearie?
viii you put my combs in,
please?"
Maybe he is in hurry,
Rushing out to catch a train,
When he's stopped by someone call
ing
In a voice that's full of pain.
Notwithstanding he is flying
In the hottest kind of haste,
VIII you kindly wait a minute,
Dear, and button up my waist?"
Sometimes when he takes her
walking,
Spick and span and quite at ease
In his newest suit and necktie,
Feeling happy as you please,
Stopping on dusty crossing
Where the breeze is busy, too,
She comes at him in this manner;
Won't you kindly tie my shoeY"
Often when his thoughts are busy
With a great and dazzling
scheme
He is rather rudely wakened
From his brilliant get-rich dream,
By his wife, who stands before him
In a sad and soulful pose,
Saying. Tell me, tell me truly,
Is there powder on my nose9"

candidate were agreed upon with
but few dissenting voices and not

ed in such perfect accord
The personality of Bryan is one
that has always inspired enthusiasm
and now inspires confidence, The
Bryan of today is a vastly different
man from the Bryan of fifteen
years ago. The breezy insouciance
of youth has been meilowed and
tempered by experience, travel.
study and business adventure. AS
the situation exists today Bryan is
possibly the best trained man in
the Democratic party for the Office
of president. The self-education he
has undergone in the last ten years
has peculiarly equipped him to
grapple with problems of govern
ment Better than any other man
he understands the temper and will
of the American people, and thus
understanding he cannot help but
make safe and able executive, if
he conscientiously adheres to his
oath of Office. Bryan has met and
talked with and to more people
than any other man in the world.
He is absorbent, emotional, cOnsid-
ate and honest. He will therefore
more fully represent the American
people than any other candidate

zELPHA, THE GYPSY QUEEN,
 ISIN SKAGWAY AGAIN

"Zelpha" is back. She has been to Dawson and Fairbanks and reports having captured the country with the truth Of her palm and clairvoyant readings. She is also convinced that there Is no place like this north land and while she is under engagement to live on the Paystreak at the big fair she is doomed to come back and cast her lot in the north. She says her readings brought big returns to many who sought her advice in the interior aad happiness to others who sought knowledge more important than wealth. She was at Dawson three weeks going in and five weeks at Fair banks. Coming out she was kept so busy at Dawson by those who had known her from her previous trip that one boat pulled out without her. She has engaged her old rooms at the Dewey and will be here 8 few days before going south. Those who would consult her, she says, will have to hurry. "Zelpha," you Lknow is "the Gypsy Queen" and was here last spring. Telephone tNo. Sj, if you don't want to go to the Dewey she will go to you.

silk and colors, tinsel or gold and sill
yer should be spread out smoothly on
a clean piece of white cloth and

Put it under a weight on clean white

paper will give the best results.
