The Flower show.

Department G., Horticulture, is in
charge of Prof. McWethy in the alb
enc Of Prof. Nelson and the exhibits
arr good. Mrs. Hertzog has a fine dis
play OF foliage and>potted plants from
her greenhouse. In the amateur class
Mrs. August Warnecke exhibits a re-
markable collection Of foliage plants
and a group Of potted plants literally
covered with bloom. Mrs. Grifin's en-
tries include ported plants, foliage
plants and a large display of garden
flowers. The Cook exhibit is the larg-
est shown, including over forty pots
Of ported and foliage plants and gar
den flowers. An eastern greenhouse
man once said, ut is easy to manufac-
ture heat, but we can't make sun
shine" What Wyoming sunshine does,
Is shown by her flowers. The king OF
this collection, now owe five feet high,
was a two-leaf cutting in March, 1907.
The beauty Of the garden flowers is
all the more remarkable when 1t is
recalled that the season has been ex-
ceedingly unpropitious, the record
showing a killing frost in the middle
of June. destructive hailstorms on Ju-
ly 5th, 18th and 18th, and heavy frosts
again August 30th and 31st.

Trivi.i cau.. Of /. Bloody War.

In the year 1854 a Polish nobleman
became obnoxious to the laws of his
country by reason Of his having CON-
mitted a crime. He fed to Sweden.
whereupon John Casimir, king of Po-
land, wrote to Charles Gustavus, king
Of Sweden, demanding the surrender Of
the criminal. The king of Sweden on
reading The dispatch noticed that his
own name and titles were followed by
two set ceteras,', while the name Of
the king Of Poland was followed by
three. The missing @et cetera" so en-
ragged the king Of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great bit
terness until 1900, when a peace was
signed at Olivia. near Danxig. 4 con
temporary writer (Kochowskyl poured
out his lamentations on the war in
these terms: How dear has this set
cetera' been to. us! With how many
lives have these two potentates paid
for these missing eight letters! With
what streams Of blood has the failure
Of a few drops Of Ink been avenged!"

Grecian instruments, including whis'

Few persons realize that a horses
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails of human beings or of ami
mails having toes. The horn of a hoof
grows just as a toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and it Grows faster In horses which
are well groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about a
third Of an inch a month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe
of the hoof being the longest part, II
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For In
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
In from eleven to thirteen months.
while the heel will grow down in from
three to five months. As the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects In the
old gradually work down to where
they can be cut OF. just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress
Of a bruise from the roof to the tip
New York Sun.

Mr.. Bryan is great and popular
orator, he tickles the people by
magnifying their imagined or real
grievances and promising them a
remedy. His remedies usually are
worse than the grievance. He is
n ot statesman nor a close reasoner.
He is visionary and impracticable.
He breaches radical reform but
associates with and listens to the
worst grafters and political fixers the
country affords.
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma,
the discredited and dlsgraced treas
urer of his campaign committee,
was one of Bryan's special advisers.
Taggart of Indiana, the professional
gamble, owner end supporter of
gambling resorts, IS high in the
council of the Democratic campaign
committee, while Tammany, the most
VIGOROUSLY corrupt political organi

hoarse in Bryan's support. Bryan's
insatiate desire to be president
seems to have so warped his reason
and perverted his mind that he can
not be considered safe candidate
for the position to which he aspires

A QUERY.

1t becomes our pleasure from
time to time to call attention to the
fact that we have home industries,
home merchants and home me-
chanics that should demand our first
attention when we are in need of
anything in their special line. We
do not deem it very patriotic or
loyal to our city for a resident to
SIND off for anything he can buy
just as well at home ani just as
cheap, or nearly SO. We believe if
a Chanute man should decide 10
build brick house in Chanute he
should buy his brick of one of our
brick plants.
Or If he has a lot of cement work
to be done that he should use Cha
mute cement and employ Chanute
men to do the work. And, if a
young man has special job for a
minister, we are convinced that our
Chanute ministers can do as neat
and lasting job as the ministers OF
any other town.
Since we have noticed these bar
rels of tarvla strung along the streets
we have been wondering If our city
dads are adhering strictly to this
rule of patrohizlng home industries.
We arc not very we'll informed in
this matter but have been told that
our re6neries turn out similar pro-
duct. Wonder if that is trueP Prob
ably our home product is not so
good. This tarvia COMES from Kan
sas City and we presxne it is the
product of the Standard oil refinery
there.
By inquiry we find that the Kaa-
sas City boulevard builders come t0
Chanxte for their bizder and top
dressing. They buy here product
at less than ons.fourtR the cost Of
taryia and ship 1t up there while We
go to Kansas City for ours.
The Kansas Co operative refinery
sold to the Kansas City folks rs
cars cf their product last year and
have already shipped them twenty
cars this year. Possibly the other
rehneries are shipping as much or
more.
Where is the trouble. Don't our
refneries turn out as good a pro-
duct2 If they don't why don't they
wake up and secure the local trade.
Don't Kansas City want as good
streets as Chanute2 We are a little
at sea in this matter and would like
some information.

Bryan Sincere? Is He?
(From the Topeka Capital.)

(from the Topeka Capltal.)
/ has been a common practice of
public speakers, and of newspapers,
when opposing Bryan's political
stand upon questions, to say he is
honestly sincere in is views. But
is he?
In the convention hich gave him
his first nomination for the presi
dency, there were about thirty or
thirtyfve gold standard delegates
thrown cut, and their places filed
by that number of free silver dele
gates, who were rot elected by their
constituencies, in order to carry out
The 16 to I craze. Was Bryan then
so honest as to decline nomination
at the hand of a convention thus
arbitrarily controlled? Afterwards,
when our soldiers were engaged in a
struggle with the insurgents in the
Philippine islands, he pranced over
the country, making a paramount
issue of the independence of those
islands. He knew the effect the
Knights of the Golden Circle had in
encouraging the southern army dur
ing the late Civil war and must have
known shat his course here, being
candidate for the highest office in
the land, would prolong the struggle
at The expense of many lives. Then,
when the Senate was considering
the treaty which gave the United
States torto Rico and the Philippine
islands, there were not enough Re
publicans to ratify the treaty with
out the aid of some Democrats and
the matter seemed to hang up. But
Bryan came forward and ADVISED
his Democrats to ratify. So far so
good. But directly afterwards he
made paramount issue of imperial
ism. If he was sincere in advising
the ratification, how could he be
henest in making fuss about it
afterwards? believe that his ex-
planation, when called to account
for his course was, virtually, that
the Republicans being in the ma
jority, they would have to bear the
blame.
Doesn't that show fine grade of
sincerity as well as great statesman
ship2 l fear that his heart and his
mouth sometimes disagree. He is
said to be great orator, and that,
alone, has made him popular. His
"Cross of Gold, and Crown of
Thoras" turned convention giddy,
and gave him his first real prize;
but we need something more sub
stantial than oratory at the head of
the nation. He has spit out SO
much of it that he is like the spider
that would become entangled in his
own web.
