Bryan also opposes the national In
corporation of railroads as being inini-

poses the atrocious ship subsidy scheme
and the asset currency humbug, know
ing as every sensible man ought to
know that they are only games under
different names to confer special privil-
eges on special favOrites. And why
souldnt they wax fat? Any hog would
get fat under like conditions. Now you

THE ATHLETIC TREND.
Weston Sets the Gait for the Present
Walking Contests.

BY great good fortune the veteran
pedestrian Weston finished his walk
from Maine to Chicago just as the
football season closed. The success Of
his long tramp, reminding humanity
that legs are still capable of practical
use, comes at time when the single
standard Of athletic interest prevail
lag up to this date vanishes till next
year. Members of a club at Kanakee,
Illinois, fired by his example, have
started on long jaunt. each man
carrying a hundred pounds OF sand.
On a wager five men left Milwaukee
bent on making the ninety miles to
Chicago afoot at record breaking
rate. The country over, people are
interested in long distance walking as
at no time In recent years, by reason
Of Weston's tramp. The season Of
the year Is here when people take the
least exercise, but when If satisfied
to walk they can comfortably take the
most. A revival Of hare and hounds,
Of walking clubs. of the ambition to
be Independent Of horses and automo-
biles and street cars. If not railroads,
would be blessed thing for the coun-
try. Among the greatest advantages
of the game of walking is the nominal
cost for Outfit-an easy pair OF shoes
and the fact that 1t is equally adapted
to old and young men and women and
even to children. or what other exer-
else can SO much be said?

Her Secret.

We occasionally meet woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth. We wonder how it has
come aDout-what her secret it. Here
are few of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She kept her nerves well in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art Of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved tke miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words and
a smile cost nothing, but are priceless
treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is halo of
white hair about her head she is loved
and considered. That is the secret of
a long life and happy one.

What Caused the Furry.

brought on the financial furry, has
been unearthed. Hugh Gordon Miller,

declaring that DR.. Wiley ,of Washing

honesty. and lawfulness of the na-

abs solutely necessary industry. until an
amount Of capital. labor, and scientific
development had been absolutely para.

forever destroyed" When DIR. Wiley
saw the manufacturers of extracts

bottles and marking 1t pure favoring

and looked the other way. But he
shouted 4 warning and came after the
crooked manufacturer with a club, and

In the extract business, DR.. Wiley is
a greater destroyer of confidence than

Test All Seeds at Home.

There seems to be two principal
things to observe in getting seeds.
First, buy from known dealer, whose
guarantee Is worth something, and,
second, get seeds early enough SO that
every kind can be tested.
The Department Of Agriculture, In
order to aid farmers to determine for
themselves without much trouble the
germinative value Of seeds. has issued
a short bulletin on the subject. A very
simple apparatus for sprouting seeds is
described. 1t consists of a shallow
basin in which is placed a small Nat
of porous clay. The seeds, having been
soaked, are laid between two sheets OF
moist b!otting paper or flannel. A pane
Of glass covers the dish, which should
be kept in a temperature Of about sew.
nety degrees. The atmosphere Of an
ordinary living room is suitable II the
apparatus is left near stove IT night
Several kinds of seeds may be tested
at once at trifling cost. The bulletin
cautious the farmer against extremes
OF heat or moisture.

Tho Result of Trifies.

The world is composed of trifes.
The nerve of a tooth. finer than a
cambric needle. nearly drove Napoleon
Bonaparte to distraction, and actually
caused tho mighty Caesar to lose a
battle, A mostquito can drive an ele-
pha6t crazy. A mouse can tease q
lion to death. The reef which sinks
a navy Is the work Of a tiny worm.
The warrior that walks up to the can
mons mouth and faces death in a thou
sand forms is killed by an insect.
Small pleasures make up the sum Of
human happiness. The deepest wretch
cdness often results from q perpetual
continuance of petty pains. A single
look from one you love produces ex-
quisite pain or unalloyed pleasure. The
first glass of wine that was drunk led
to all the horrors. miseries and crimes
that have sprung from drunkenness
and darkened the earth of centuries.

GARDEN MEDICAL CHEST.
Value of Common Vegetables as Cures
for Various Diseases.

Many garden vegetables have a
medical value that often surpasses
their food value. The first of these In
point of time is asparagus, valuable in
| all kidney troubles. Large quantities
of this may be eaten prepared in the
usu ual STYLE and the system be much
benefited.
Dyspepsia, rheumatism and other
kindred ailments yield to a diet in
which rhubarb forms an important
part. The acid of the plant counter
:cts the effect of the heavy diet of
the winter and cleanses the body, as
it We're. of the acids and gases that
have accumulated.
Horseradish is tonic in cases of
nervous headache, and gives a good
appetite. Dandelion green's were much
sought for by our grandmothers as a
good blood purifier in the spring. Rad
ishes will lift gases that cause all sorts
Of stomach trouble. They should be
eaten on an empty stomach with a
pinch of salt but no vinegar.
Lettuce is good sedative. and will
frequently induce healthful sleep to an
overwrought system.
Onions are good for colds. They may
be eaten stewed, baked or r:w. II
used raw they slso induce sleep. A
poultice of cooked onions laid on the
chest or throat will relieve Group.
Celery is a fine nerve food. 1t is best
eaten raw with salt. Bad blood is
much cleansed by the free use of car
rots. Cucumbers, II eaten in modera-
ton, will not give the collie or cholera,
but will be found quite cooling on
hot day. Parsley will relieve patients
suffering from dropsical tendencies.
II taken in time and in large quanti-
ties it will even cure cases of dropsy.
Garlic, though hard on the breath, is
good for the bowels. Beets stimulate
the secretions of the liver. Potatoes,
because of the starch they contain, are
fattening. Spinach, however, is said
to be the best spring cleanser. 1t
acts as a broom to the whole alimen-
tary canal, and is also excellent for
the kidneys. Cabbage, being largely
water, iushes the system much as
water will do. Tomatoes are consid-
cred healthful, as they act upon the Sc
cretions of the liver.
A well-stocked garden. having the
vegetables in rotation. will save many
a doctors bill Besides. it is much
more pleasant eating these plants NICE
ly prepared as articles of diet than 1t
is to take medicine and be ailing.

Some Pertinent Pointers,

Macaroni Is said to be easily digested
and Of high food value.
When running rods through curtains,
cut a finger from an old kid glove and
place over the end of the rod. 1t will
60 through like magic.
Some household authorities recon-.
mend the use Of the best beef marrow,
instead Of butter. when making cake
even a fine cake. The flavor of mar.
row is not delicate.
The best way to clean glass vases or
water bottles is to use handful of un.
cooked rice and 4 little warm water.
Shake the mixture around in the bot.
tie; then empty and rinse.
An excellent idea for pantry shelves
Is to give them two coats of ordinary
white paint and then a third finishing
coat Of white enamal. Do not cover
the shelves with oilcloth or paper, but
leave them bare.

A MEAN DISPOSITION.
That's What the Leeches Say Of Free
Lance Ben TiIlman.

6dUCC 0Cu tutUIdIts
Senator Tillman is the original man
with mean disposition.
Here lie comes, asking his imperti-
nent and troublesome questions, just
at a time when hush" Is the watch
word; just at a time when the res. Of
us, even the Democrats, have pre-
tended to be blind and dumb as to
certain conditions that it would be ex-
tremcly unpatriotic to discuss-when
there is Republican administration.
Now Ben Tillman has asked his
questions and spoiled it all! The coun-
try will have to wake up. much as 1t
would like to disregard this Senatorial
alarm clock and pretend to keep on
sleeping.
Tillman wants to know whether
those Certificates of Indebtedness"
were for the purpose Of borrowing
money Ito meet public expenditures"
as the law requires, when he knows,
and everybody else knows, they were
not.
Tillman wants to know whether the
Panama bonds were required ito de-
fray the expenses of the said canal"
when he knows as we'll as anybody
what a sorry joke that subterfuge was.
Tillman wants to know whether the
clearing house certificates are i.Saed
contrary to law. and whether the cash
iers' checks are subject to the 10 per
cent. tax specified in the statutes,
wheI he knows already what the an.
swers are. and knows. moreover, that
the administration has known them
all the time.
He wants to know whether it would
be just as legal to issue money"
against cotton, wheat and tobacco as
against clearing house securities, whe /.
he knows it would be lust" as legal
and no more so.
In fact, Ben Tillman. with his nasty,
mean disposition. is trying to make
the country face squarely the fact that
anarchy and lawlessness have been
prevailing. in the past several weeks
not only in the Treasury Department
but all over the country. and that we
TIE people. have connived in it.
A nuisance and q pest is Tillman oi
South Carolina!
