THE MAN WITH THE HEN

Tell me not In broken measures
Modern farming does no, pay.
For a farm produces chickens.
And the henm-~do they not lay
Eggs are high and guiag higher
And the price Is soaring fast
Every time grs Ia market.
II In higher than iar last
Not a coop hu; tina; produces
Every day eEx or tao.
So the farmer gains bis hundreds.
Even though his heaa be few.
Every egg IN very precious.
And the hens ara held in axe.
When the farmer hears one cackl.
Hc gives cat loud "Haw. ha1'"
In The broad and auay .arm-yari
Struts rooHtrr anw and shea.
But The ahr~wd. progressive farmer
Has eyes only for he hen
Trust no rooster hnsr'er sho@y
Be the feathers N hia tall
Pay Alteration 10 tae hiddi.s
And your wealth ELL never fail.
Lives o! farmers all remind -
We may roll IN @ealth some day

Chauffeur Timmins halted the auto close to the track and waited until the long line of box cars had passed. As the caboose of the freight train cleared the crossing Timmins started the automobile over the rails. That instant the pilot of giant passenger locomotive was within 20 feet of the crossing. In the fraction Of an instant the engine struck the big tour ing car amidship and sent 1t hurling through the air for a distance of 300 fest.
 With it went the mangled forms of hye of the occupants. The car was a mere mass of splinters and twisted metal wh2n it alighted But for the torn fragments of clothing the remains of the human be- ings who only moment before had con- stituted merry outing party could not have been recognized as mortal remains. The train was stopped as soon as possible and run back to the crossing Engineer Peter Carter was the first to alight and view the scene of carnage. He found the crushed form of Mrs. King resting on the pilot of the engine. He car ried the body to one side of the road5ed and thought he felt heart fiutter. But in a moment there was no doubt that the woman was dead.
 MT King was a close friend and sup porter of Senator Beveridge in Indiana, and for two terms represented Wabash county in the state legislature He was financial loan agent for the Prudential Life Insurance company in Indiana, with headquarters in Fort Wayne His wealth is estimated at about sa00.oo0. He carried heavy accident policies for his wife and two daughters.

Lincoln, Neb., July 1S.-(Special.)- )- William Jennings Bryan received news from New York today. It was brought by former Mayor William B. Kirk of Syracuse, who, with former State Exec utive Chairman James K. Mcclure, rep resented the Onondaga congressional district in the Denver convention.
 Mir. Kirk dropped off here to assure MT. Bryan that it would require Herou lean efforts to make a better showing there than in 1896 and 1900.
 There was and there is no senti- ment for Bryan in my district" said Kirk to newspaper correspondents. 'I early made up my mind that he could not carry New York, and so did what l could to induce the New York delega- tion to put Johnson forward.
 However, now that MT Bryan is the nominee of the party, l have something to tell him. That is: I shall do what I can to secure his election. We have @ tough job before us in New York, and it will be miracle. indeed, if we carry it."
 Prior to MT. Kirk's visit MT. Bryan summoned from Chicago Don Farms worth, head of the Chicago banking house of Farnsworth, Billings & Co.,, and intrusted him with the task of organizing the negro voters of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and other states.

 FIGHT TO CARRY NEW YORK
 WILL BE RATHER BIG JOE

Farnsworth Is expected to raise a large sum of money to offset the revolt among the colored voters, caused by MT. Bryans commendation of Roose- welt and Taft for dismissing from the army the negro battalion, some of whose members were charged with having shot up Brownsville. Tex, in August. 1906.
 Farnsworth's presence here within "A hours after MT. Bryan had been com pelled to qualify" his declaration that he had never discussed" the Browns vile incident, because of the discovery of a Commoner editorial penned by him, assailing the colored troops quite as fiercely as had Roosevelt and Taft, in- dicated that the candidate had made up his mind that only desperate measures could secure the negro vote. e Mir. Farnsworth has been suggested to MT. Bryan as a handy man for the treasurer of the national committee. He may be selected when the sub com m.ttee meets at Wichita next week.
 MT. Bryan received the news today that President Roosevelt will stump Nebraska for Taft.
 Chairman William H. Hayward of the Nebraska republican state committee joined National Chairman Frank H.. Hitchcock here this evening, and went on to Colorado Springs with him to talk over the proposed invasion of MT. Bryan's state.

This is but an attempt of Hartman under the spacious plea of wishing to conserve the interests of the workingman to put into effect more of his not altogether impeccable schemes. He is making a football of the working man. I am now preparing data which l will soon be able to give the country to show just how deep and kindly are MT. Harrimans feelings fer the workingman.
 We will resist this proposed increase as far as We are able. We have joined hands with the Illinois association and have assured them through our represen- tative, who is now q member of the conference being held in Chicago, that we will be q unit with them
