Instruct Delegates, Says Bry-
an.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. s.
William j. Bryan dictated the
following last night before at
tending the luncheon of Racq uet
club:
"If the voters of the Democra-
tic party want another than my
self nominated at Denver, they
ought to instruct their delegates
to that effect. If they want me
nominated they ought to instruct
their delegates for me.
1t is not a matter to be decided
by me or by any small fraction
of the Democratic voters. Itis
for the majority of the Democra-
tic voters to determine. In Now
ember last, to stop the misrepre-
sentations which were going
about as to what | might or
might not do, and as to the con-
diticrs under which I might or
might not be candidate, stat
ed that | would not ask for a
nomination, but that | would be
a candidate if it was the desire
of the Democratic party that I
should be.
Believing that in parties,
as in popular govern
ment, authority comes up to the
official from the people, | be.
lleve that voters, when they
gather In their communities
should express themselves on
party principles and candidates,
and then select delegates in har-
mony with their ideas"

Clinton, N. c., special in the

L. Williams Monday evening,
and on her return home was

her. A Mr. West and /. l.. Jack

prisoner into court about II o.
clock and Judge Neal also had
the jury drawn and, soon IS the

at the dividing space between walls
and ceiling. The furniture of this
room was a light oak, an imitation of
mission furniture, and the plain bed,
with white dotted swiss over yellow
covers. The pictures-and they were
few, though lively selections-were
small with good gold frames-that lit
tie narrow gold material that sells

FROM SMALL TOWNS
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS TAKEN ANNUALLY.
THROUGH MAIL-ORDER SYSTEM
Views of a Banker on the Situation
During the Recent Monetary
stringency Well Worthy Of
Consideration.

The president Of a bank at Mime
apolis, during the recent financial
stringency, called attention to n
source Of financial drain upon the
country towns which should be taken
into consideration, and a remedy APP
piled.
In this remarkable situation" he
said, when everybody is prosperous
and there is not enough currency to
go round, it is important that every
dollar possible should be kept at home
until the banking business is again on
a cash basis. In the cities this is be-
ing done with a good deal of success,
and the clearinghouse certificates and
cashiers checks prevent a serious
embarrassment. But out in the u
try, where there are no clearing
houses, every dollar boarded or sent
away from home counts double.
AT this time the patronage of the
foreign catalogue houses is a factor
that ought to be considered seriously.
By thei own reports two of these
catalogue houses, which deal in almost
every commodity of use to the home
or farm, do a business of 500, 900, 900
a year.. This is $500, 900 for each of the
six business days of the week. This
money largely out of the coun-
try towns. These catalogue houses do
not sell to people in the cities where
they are located. 1t is from the farm
ers and residents of towns of less
than 5000 population that 95 per cent.
of their business comes and at least a
third Of it Is from the northwest. And
remember, too, that there are other
catalogue houses, and that the COM
bined business done by them is at
least 5000, 000, 900 annually.
Il am informed that all through the
state of Minnesota this competition of
the foreign catalogue houses has been
very seriously felt by the merchants
OF small towns, to such an extent that
some have been driven out of business
entirely.
IF this has been the case during
the great prosperity of recent years,
when money was circulated freely,
what must the effect be now when the
currency is needed at home? Money
spent with the local merchant is dis
bursed in the locality, at least the
profits of his business are, but money
sent away is lost from local circula-
ton.
Without going into the home-trade
question it seems plain to me that
those who buy from a foreign cata-
logue house at this time are directly
injuring themselves, for this question
of keeping money in home circulation
involves people Of all conditions"
The Tupelo journal., 1908-06-12
Humor Unappreciated.

Representative Claude Kitchin of
North Carolina is of the opinion that it
is dangerous to attempt to be funny
with strangers. Recently he found
himself in a small town in western
North Carolina with no money small
er than a $20-bill In his pocket. The
bill was new and crisp, and after sew
eral vain attempts, Mr.. Kitchin finally
found a man, a local storekeeper, who
could change 1t for MIN.
The s~hopkeepe examined the bill
c%uriously. 1t W the first time he
had ever seen a Drand-new bill.
Reckon this here BILL" he said, has
never been used before"
NO" answered Mr.. Kitchf3. that
is true. You see, / Just made 1t this
morning"
"Give me back my change. you fel-
low" exclaimed the thoroughly aroused
storekeeper. Il don't want my of your
blamed counterfeit money!"
Mr.. Kftchin says that If there had
not been some one in the town who
could identify him that he might have,
gotten into serious trouble by his
chance facetious remara. He de.
clares that the incident cured him Of
the habit OF getting gay with strangers.

CHANCE FOR GIRLS TO MARRY.
Lines of Business That Furnish the
Most Opportunities.

81 have noticed that girls from GER.
tain counters in department stores
continually marry off" said a clergy
man. Il refer to the counters that
men patronize-the pajama counter,
the pipe counter, the haberdashery
counter, and SO on. Were l a girl
about to take a place in a depart
ment store, l should choose, even at
a lower salary, the pipe rather than
the ribbon line.
Nurses, too, are a great class for
getting married. And they make good
marriages. They become the wives
of promising young physicians. It's
different abroad. Abroad a nurse is
treated almost as a servant. A physi-
clan would regard over there a mar
rlage with a nurse as a misalliance.
"Governesses, if the family travels
a good deal, marry the mates and
stewards of ships. With stationary
families their matrimonial chances
are less good, though now and then a
really pretty governess hooks in some
friend of wife or husband, a million
aire broker or publisher"
The Tupelo journal., 1908-06-12
During the Summer Months.

The summer time is the time the re-
tail merchant must keep things NOV
ing at a lively pace in his store. Gen.
orally the warn weather season is
dull with retailers and the period from
June to September is generally regard
ed as a time when there is little doing.
Here is where the retail merchant
must not allow himself to take a
wrong view of things. The fact that
this stretch of three months has been
generally regarded as a period of in
activity is just the very reaso why he
cannot afford to allow it to be one.
There can be no periods of inactivity
for the merchant of to-day. He must
keep a full head of steam up all the
time. and it is " more important
that he should do this on the up grade,
when he is working against the forces
of g%ravitation than on the level, when
the business rushes almost of its own
momentum.
The live merchant will make up his
mind that there will be no periods of
inactivity in his store. He keeps
things moving all the time; there is
something doing every day and he
doesn't give people a chance to forget
for a single day that he is selling the
best merchandise at the lowest pos
sible prices.
1t Is these periods Of inactivity on
the parts of retail merchants which
have given the retail mail order
houses their opportunity to make in
roads on their trade. With the mail
order houses there are no periods Of
inactivity, and during the summer
months they will hustle harder than
ever for trade, because they need the
money" The retail merchant must
prepare to meet aggressive competi-
ton on the part of the catalogue mer.
chants and it is up to him to hustle
and see well to his local advertising.

For Insomnia,

The woman who is never tired and
cannot sleep ought to try the German
rest cure. 1t is a very simple method,
for they are made to work.-that is
all. If a patient has insomnia she is
set to sweeping off the garden walks,
raking III the cut grass, at all kinds
of light outdoor tasks calculated to
make her physically tired. And she
does it all c%heerfully, because it is
part of an expensive cure" She
could do it all just as well at home,
of course, but she never would. So
she takes her course Of labor because
it is the thing to do, she is told, and
soon, to her great delight, she finds
herself ready for her healthy sleep at
night, and generally quite willing to
take a nap in the daytime also.

AN ANARCHISTIC ATTEMPT

At Biarritz. Edward VII. occupied
the lower floor of q comfortable ho-
tel. On the floor above him
was installed a Paris banker with his
wife and four children, whose turbu-
lence and pranks were the delight of
the frequenters of the watering place.
One day, while King Edward with
his friends was having his usual party
at bridge, a great uproar broke out
before the wide-open window Of the
royal salon. The windows shook, loud
cries resounded.
No doubt about 1t, 1t was a bomb!
The kings partners rose, very pale.
ready for fight.
The king, smiling, said: "Oh, you
must understand these are the little
inconvenience of my trade"
With this heroic sentiment he ap-
preached the window. His faithful
friends tried to stop him. Turning
them aside with a royal gesture, he
leaned out to see the deadly machine.
Upon the pavement, among pieces
of broken glass, he perceived a big,
white flask. Above his head he heard
shouts Of laughter.

a Linen Gown,

At a fashionable southern resort not
long ago was seen an extremely mod
ish gown of rough white linen, great
ly resembling the ro~ugh-weave pongee.
The material was handsome and cut
in the latest jacket-suit style, with a
cutaway coat, long sleeves and a
miniature linen vest Of barred white
damask. The coat was trimmed with
large white buttons on the front and
the sleeves were trimmed with small
buttons in wide braid ~buttonholes
from the bottom of the cuffs to the ell
bows. A panel effect on the skirt was
trimmed down both sides with small
white buttons in braid b~uttonholes.
The waist worn with this was a heavy
white Irish lace.
