A LITTLE NONSENSE.
An incident Concerning Marriage That
Happened to Medical Man.


A wholesale druggist said of the
late William Whiteley, London's
universal provider::''
SMr. Whiteley bought lots OF
drugs from me and we were very
good friends. !, We often dined to-
gether at the Savoy during my sum
mer tours.
'eThe man was an optimist save
on one point-marriage. He was
continually relating an incident
concerning marriage that had hap
pened to a medical friend of his IN
Dorset.
NOut walking one summer even
ing, this physician saw cottager
eating his supper all alone on the
sidewalk before his little house.
"Why, Jim,' he said, what are
you eating out here for?'
Ger chimney smokes, SIR the
man stammered.
'0The physician was practical, a
handy man, a jack of all trades.
"'We1l have a look at that Chin
ney, Jim,' he said.
1And he opened the door, and
bang! A broomstick fell on his
shoulders, and a woman's voice
shrieked in the gloom:
Back again, are you, you old
rascal? Well, just clear out again
Clear out with you, or PIP
"The physician retreated hastily.
Jim sat on the curbstone, shaking
his head in sorrow and embarrass-
ment. The physician bent over him
and laid his hand in kindly fashion
on his arm.
"HJim,' he said, our chimney
smokes sometimes too"

INSECT PREVENTS
GOOD THRESH|NG
Wheat StraWs Break Owing
To Damage 1t Does.

Greensboro, Ind, July 10.-Thres
threshing machines began operation
Wednesday in this vicinity. Wheat
is averaging from 10 to II bushels
per acre and Is testing SIS TO So pounds
to the bushel and is being sold for
so cents per bushel in this market.
1t is impossible for the machines tn
clean the wheat properly on account
of so many broken straws from one
to one and one half inches long and
on examination a worm and eggs are
found in every straw. This causes
the straw TO be SO heavy that 1t can't
be blown from the wheat. The farm
ers aver that they have never heard
of any thing Of this nature before.
Generally they are selling the wheat
from the machine.

outlying possessions like Puerto Rico
and the Philippines was not contem-
plated by the founders of the republic,
nor allowable under its constitution.
The result was 155 votes for Mr.. Bry-
an in the electoral college and 293
for Mr.. Mckinley.
Soon after the 1900 election he es-
tablished the Commoner. a weekly po-
utical journal. published in his home
town of Lincoln. Neb. In addition TO
editing his paper Mr.. Bryan has been
familiar figure on the lecture plat
form and he has issued two widely
circulated books, The First Battle"
and Under Other Flags" He is the
author of many special articles writ
ten for magazines and newspapers.
He has also been something of a far
mer, but ii is suspected that this has
been for pleasure and not for revenue
only.
Ovations Abroad.
On the occasion of a tour around
the world made by Mr.. Bryan within
the last two years he was treated with
marked respect in the many countries
which he visited. Japan, China, Rus
STA, England and Continental Europe
rendered him distinguished honor. He
had an audience with King Edward
The Lord Chancellor of England com
mended him before the Interparlia-
mentary conference, which cheered
his speech in favor Of his internation-
al peace resolution and promptly ad-
opted it.
His genial disposition and kindly
nature are as often spoken of by Bry-
ans friends as his ability and upright
ness of character. His home life is
declared ideal. The family live at
Fairview. a beautiful country home,
which Mr.. Bryan insists every one
shall regard as a farm. There is no
pomp there. The family is astir at Z
o'clock every morning and at 730 it
sits down to breakfast
This breakfast is a hearty one AZ
ter that the farmer-editor plunges in
to his work of the day by opening the
mail received by rural free delivery
When Mrs. Bryan has finished her
household duties she becomes a steno-
grapher and takes down the answers
to her husbands letters. He then die
tates to her most of his editorials.
The Bryans have three children,
Ruth Bryan Leavitt, wife Of an artist
now in Paris; William Jennings Bryan
Jr., and Miss Grace Bryan, who at
tends school in Virginia. Mrs. Leavitt
has two little children, one Ruth,
named after her mother, who is and
Bryan, who is nearly 8 years old.
These two are the two real rulers of
the household. Social life at Fair
view is very democratic. The family
has a great many friends in Lincoln
and there is much visiting to and fro.
The farm abounds with attractions
both bucolic and urban. There are
plenty of horses and dogs and barns
and crops and shady hooks, a library
filled with well-selected books, and a
porch where all visitors are cordially
received and made to feel that they
are welcome to well-appointed, thor
oughly American home.

How to Fish.

Probably the most important lesson
we learn in trouting is to keep out of
sight. We cannot cast a fly without
motion. and even shadow will alarm
trout. We soon learn how important
1t is to have the sun shining in our
faces and not comfortably warming
our backs. If obliged to fish in sight of
the trout q good background is q help.
Keep the rod low down with the side
or uuderhand cast. With the rays of
the sun striking the water obliquely at
certain hours in the morning and after
noon we can. if facing it. stand within
easy casting distance of a school of
trout and present our flies without
alarming them. The fish may be lying
in shallow water, but we cannot see
them nor can they see US. Under other
conditions or with the sun in our rear
they would take fright before We ar
rived within range. - Forest and
