The greatest of republics never ven
shiyered and the nations holiday re-
mains upon the calendar,
On November 7th of that year, Bry-
All sent the following telegram:
THANK you for your telegram of con.
iolence. The defeat was a severe
one. / cannot conscientiously ask the
party to consider me again for the
presidency. / led the party to defeat
four years ago and hat ought to be
enough for any one man.
Obviously. It was not enough, and
the same Bryan who could not con
scientiouslyr ask the party for the
nomination again, has delivered a
third notification speech. That 1t was
a dificult task is evident in. every la
bored line. He has lost spirit and cor.
ndenoe in himself; how a he hope
to awake enthusiasm In others? When
he advocated free silver. and when he
took a tilt at the windmill of imperial
ism, even his opponents believed him
sincere though misguided. Now there
are indeed few to do him homage and
the slogan he 30 feebly sounds-"Shal
the people rule T'-fnds no echo in
the hearts and minds of the body
polite, one and all OF whom believe
him to be seeking merely the notoriety
and financial benefit to be gained by
he added prominence.
The people will continue to rule as
they have since the. adoption OF their
soul-stirrlng Declaration of %Independ-
ence, one hundred and t~hirty-two
years ago, but Mr.. Bryan has forfeited
the brief hold he had upon the public
pulse by his vacillating policy and his
numerous plumbers. Few candid men
really believe that he has a ghost OF
n chance for. election this fall. and the
candidate himself exposes frequently
his own lack of hope by the spectacu-
lar promises he makes as to his con
duct "if'' elected.
His contention that the democratic
party has earned public confidence is
too absurd to be seriously considered.
Twice has the party been in full power
in tho United States, and twice has
the country been brought to the verge
Of ruin. These truths are matters OF
history and the horrors of the Cleve'
land administration still linger in the
minds of all of voting age. To cast a
ballot for Bryan is to invite a repeti'
ton of those financial straits. The
people will rull again for a stable gov
eminent. with honest finances and pro.
tected industries and they will vote
for William II. Taft.

an outfit as that. i have been thinking the
matter over, and I've about decided to let
you have the money from the plums for a
new suit. If you and your brothers Will
help me pick them today, we will take them
to the city tomorrow and buy your suit"
In few moments armed with buckets,
baskets, chairs and step-ladders, We were on
our way to the plum trees.
In the region where We lived, plum trees
seldom bore well two years in succession,
and this year a species of boring insect hau
injured nearly all the trees in the neighpor-
hood.
My father had read in an agricultural paper
os preventive, which he had tried with sue
cess, and thus our trees had been Kept sale
from the small invaders. -.
On account Of the scarcity of fruit, we
knew almost any price could be commanded
fol- the plums.
Before night the trees were bare, our hands
were sore and our backs aching, but we car
ried to the cellar, as trophies of our toll, ten
bushels Of luscious, perfect plums.
When l came down stairs next morning,
was surprised to find my father seated pyy
the kitchen stove and the room. filled with
the odor of camphor and turpentine.
Now, turpentine is to this day associated
in nv mind with rheumatism, disease TO
which my father was all his life subject and
from which he suffered excrueiating pam pan o,.s.
Later on, in my senior year, set the class
in roar by inadvertently quoting moral
turpitude enough to make demon blush" as
moral turpentine."
So, when the penetrating odor of ,turpen-
tine reached me, ! knew at once that my
father would be unable to go to the city.
"Robert," he said, 81 suppose you'd better
see if your Uncle Henry or one, of his boys
can go with you to sell the plums. They
won't keep long"
"Why can't go myself, father?" asked
"You are old enough, but you know nothing
Of business dealings yet. / am afraid you
would get cheated, both in your sale and your
purchase" -, u,
IDENTITY. ''You can tell me what you consider
fair price for the plums, and l will not sell
them for less. Then, you see, l can't be
cheated 80,
NV father hesitated little, and then said:
II will try you. You really need to learn
how to buy and sell, and this will give you
an opportunity If / could go myself, l know
| I could get four dollars a bushel for the plums
hut / will set three dollars your price
That will bring thirty dollars. You may
have twenty for your suit"
whats this, John?" asked my grand
mother, entering just, then and hearing my

"They can't stand until I'm we'll had
thought of sending to ask Henry to go, but
I've about made up my mind to risk Robert.
THAT child" said my grandmother, point,
eyes cheated out of him. If he can't go, why
not let Sammie?"
Now, Sammie was my twelve-year,old
brother. My blood boiled at being called
'Bobbie" and "that child" and having Sam

than l.
81 can't spare both," said my father, "and
of course Robert must go to see about the ut
of his new suit"
AS if my grandmother's objections were not
enough, my mother came forward with new
sourse of anxiety.
Robert go through Swampville? You know
there's said to be a case of yellow fever there.
We folks that live along the river can't be
too careful"
"You must take the ridge-road, then, Rob
