Little One Had But One Idea OF Term
"Fore-Handed."

Little Catherine has been boarding
on a farm this summer, and many OF
the rural expressions are wholly I'M
familiar to her. One day she CHANGED
to hear her country hostess praising
the good qualities of a certain thrifty
neighbor.
"He really amt got much, COM
pared TO some folks" said the farm
er's wife, but he makes out wonder
full well; he's so fore-handed."
That evening the man thus lauded
happened to drop in, and Katherine
Immediately sided up to him, with Gu
rious eyes. Slowly she revolved about
the chair in which he sat, and so per
sistently did she gaze at him that the
farmers wife finally noticed 1t.

The Spider and the Fly.

In the long warfare between the
spider and the fly. the latter has had
the housewife for its auxiliary and
friend. The flies have been tolerated
even fed and nurtured, while the
spiders and their webs have been ruth
lessly destroyed. This unremitting
and unrelenting war against it keeps
the spider population down. while the
flies increase and multiply by the
millions and ten Of millions, almost
unchecked. The spider is ugly and
his web is unsightly in the estima
ton of most people, but spiders hurt
no human creature. They feed on
flies, which are the foes of mankind,
and do mankind service.-Philadel-

COUNTRY NEEDS A REST.
Why Voters Should Support Mr.. TAN
= and His Policies.

Former Governor Smith of Mary
land, who was chairman of the state
Democratic committee in 1895, is mod
estly hopeful about Mr.. Bryan's
chances. Gov. Smith is worth quot
ing because, unlike the vociferous
optimists of his party, he is moderate
in his claims and offers a reason for
the glimmer of hope that is in him.
Mr.. Taft's election is not, thinks
this cautious Democrat, "a foregone
conclusion" because of the business
situation. Here is about the way he
figures it out: Business and wages
have had bad setback "as the result
of Mr., Roosevelt's activities as an agi-
tator;" season Of depression at cleo
ton time is always bad for the chances
of the party in power; therefore, Mr..
Smith concludes, Many workers who
have been thrown out of employment
by Mr.. Roosevelt's activities and
many manufacturers who have suffer
ed from the same cause will this year
forswear allegiance to the Republican
parity and vote the Democratic tick
et'
1t is not hard to find the flaw in
the Smith logic.
Since 1--WE assume no responsibility
for the Smith view of Roosevelt) these
business men and workers out of en-
ployment ascribe their troubles large
ly to Roosevelt agitation and fuss, it
seems to follow that they naturally
would want another type of man in
the White House. They would not
jump out of the frying pan into the
fire by exchanging one "agitator"
lSmith's epitheD for another.
They would turn for relief, not to
Agitator Bryan, but to Statesman Taft,
a strong, quiet, effective man, who is
not all sail and no ballast; not like a
locomotive that is so per cent whistle;
and whose judicial temperament is
so often referred to and so hopefully
harped upon by all sorts and condi-
tons Of citizens as to form an excel
lent indication of the drift of popular
thought and preference in this cam.
paign. The country needs rest.

Line Thinly Drawn.

Mr.. Bryan says that the $500 he re-
ceived from two talking machine cor
porations was a purely commercial
transaction and not campaign con-
tribution. although he turned the
money over 10 the campaign fund.
But where lis the line OF demarcation
between a commercial and a moral
transaction I'm the contribution OF CAM
paign funds?

II is asserted of Bryan that he
could stand on the Independence
platform with both feet" Certainly,
that is an e.sy matter for him. But
what he cannot do is to get the indie
pendence vote, which makes the plat
form wholly useless for his purposes.
