The cracked mugs which have fallen

arranged faces or pounded visages.
They. are rather the abused drinking
utensils which come bounding over
the counter at you when you enter a
hurry-pp lunchery and hoist the cry:

DIR. Wiley says the crack in an ordi-
nary mug doing daily duty in lunch
room shelters enough bacilli to put
the nation into decadence Death of
a. horrible sort turks in these cracks.
Show DR.. Wiley cracked mug = a

you are dead man if the right ba-
cillus hustles out'~of the crack and

quaffing your daily beverage.

dirty lunchrooms, and Mr. Wiley is

the expert, there were undoubtedly

their magnitude and character of ma

Among the germs disclosed by the
archaeological examination of the

department experts say unquestion-
ably belongs to the group of undesir-
able bacteria, especially when assO-

have been using the chairs to build
choo-choo trains, they have placed
their hands on the paper in the red,
blue and green TarlOrs, and in some
mysterious way big hunk of the
stucco was broken out of one of the
columns in the reception hall.
Col Bromwell thinks the chairs
should be sent to the uphOlsterers,
new paper put on the walls, and the
whole interior done over with fresh
paint and enamel. The wall paper on
the wall, of course, is not paper at all,
but the finest brocaded silk. The
upholstering on the Sevres designed
chairs is also of the finest. So the
colonel figures it will cost $4,000 to
do the absolutely necessary work.
In submitting his estimate to the
secretary of the treasury he remarked
that the annual appropriation of $780,
I 900 is barely large enough to keep
the house from going to rack and ruin.
The $4,000 asked for is put under the
head of extraordinary repairs.
Congress will grant the money.

the party leaders offered him the nom
inatiop for the lieutenant governorship
of Nebraska. He declined the Offer
but made a stumping campaign for tne
ticket throughout the state.
The next year, 1890, the young De-
mocracy thrust upon the young De-
mOsthenes from Illinois the nomination
for congressman from the First dis
trict. J. Sterling Morton, who In his
time was father of ArbOr day AID
member of President Cleveland'S cab
met, had been defeated in the race for
congress from that district in 1888 by
Republican majority of more than
1900 votes Scarcely anybody expect

licanS In the state, was nominated to
run against Bryan. He resigned from
the bench, so sangqtne of success was
he, but Bryan beat him by 40 votes.
When President Cleveland called an
extra session of congress in the sum-
mer of 1893 to push through the repeal
of the Sherman silver bullion puPchas-
ing act of 1890, the Democratic presi-
dent of the old school unwittingly gave
to the man of destiny in the new school
of Democracy an altitudinous stepping
Etone toward the presidency. Bryan of
Nebraska, aged thirty three, delivered
in the house on the 10th of August a
speech against the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act.
The whole house and most of the SEN
ate heard it. When Bryan ceased
speaking he was picked up by enemies
and friends alike and borne around the
hall on the shoulders of enthusiasts
who liked a ripping fine grafton when
they heard 1t regardless as to whether
1t suited their politics. Nobody dis
puted that it was the greatest speech
Of the extra session.
Bryan declined a denomination for
congress in 1894 and became editor of
the Omaha World-Herald. He wanted
to go TO the United States senate. The
World Herald business Office made a
contract to run daily on the editorial
page two columns of "stuff," paid for
by Republicans, which was inimical to
Bryan's prospects. Bryan resigned the
editorship after a fierce legal fight
against the advertising contract. He
was nominated for the senate by the
unanimous vote of the state conven-
ton, despite the fact that many of
them disagreed with him on the silver
coinage issue. With John NJ. Thurs
ton, the leading Republican candidate
for the senate, Bryan engaged in two
joint debates, having challenged Thurs
ton. The forensic duels took place in
Lincoln and Omaha. The tariff was
The sole topic of discussion. Bryan
defended the Wilson tariff, which as a

mittee he had helped to create. AT
Lincoln the enthusiasm was such that

awaited him. Thurston was elected by

Our Girls.

1t should be the aim of all to
give the girls just as broad a bus
mess education as boys. 1t makes
them capable of taking care of the
family, if such responsibilities
are placed upon them; it broadens
their ideas and makes them nobler
and better. Girls, as a rule, are
fully as clear-headed as boys when
young, but if, as is the common
practice, the girls are brought up to
do nothing, to think but little ex-
cept of dress and amusements, they
fall far behind the young man, at
the age of 20 in mental ability.
What is needed is, that at home
and at school. they be taught that
to shine in social circles or to roll
in wealth is not the highest aim of
womanhood. But let them be
taught to make a home joyful and
happy, and yet be prepared, if nee
essary, for life's bitterest strug-
giles. Let them understand thor
oughly the details of everyday life,
the value of all kinds of commo-
dities used daily, how to make a
check, draft, note and receipt. Let
them be told the truth about them
selves and about the world. They
should know something about the
.snares and pitfalls that beset. Let
them be thoroughly impre sed with
the fact that on themselves, in a
large degree, depends the success
of the men they marry. Let them
know how to cook, giving them a
thorough course in the kitchen.
Let them begin where their moth
ers left off, and we shall have "a
generation of girls strong, hopeful,
ambitious and self-reliant that will
elevate the men, and make a hard
Ter and more aggressive people,
and thousands of firesides happier
and better.

Home.

What beautiful and tender asso-
citations cluster thick around that
word! The thought of it is very
shield; the name of it has a spell
to call back the wanderer from
the path of vice, and far away the
myrtle bloom and the palm trees
wave, and the ocean sleeps upon
coral strands, to the exiles fond
fancy it clothes the naked rock, or
stormy shore, or barren moor or
wild height and mountain with
charms he weeps to think of and
longs once more to see. Of all
places on earth, home is the most
delicate and sensitive. It's chords
move with breadth; its flowers
are bruised with the least rude
ness. Here our hearts wear no
covering no armor. Every arrow
strikes, them every cold wave
blows fall upon them. If we
would have true home, we
must guard we'll our thots and
actions. A single bitter word
may disquiet the home for a
whole day, but like unexpected
flowers which spring up along
our path, full of freshness. frag-
rance and beauty SO do kind
words and gentle acts and sweet
dispositions make glad the home
where peace and blessings dwell.

TT is the official view of Col G. S.
1 Bromwell, the army engineer in
charge of the White House, that it will
be necessary for the American people
to spend,$1, 900 a week during the next
fiscal year to keep the home of the
president in habitable condition,
This is the minimum of cost based on
conditions as they exist now.
Should the one time executive man
sion be turned into two apartment
structure, the cost would probably be
about the figure set forth by the
colonel.
J.. The up-keep of the house during the
current fiscal year is only 1878 and a
few pennies each week. But things
are getting shabby The children
