GIVING OFF WHATS WORTH WHILE.

There is close kim between
editors and public. speakers Guess
that's one reason why thischild of
the pen is noso fond of preachers;
lawyers, lecturers schoolzteachers
etc., To hope to make any. impress
ions, do any good, win any battles,
inculcate any truth and 3 hold the
attention; both classes the editor
ial and experimenting have to
breathe out in their utterances
whisperings of their very soul as it
were. Nothing else will hold
reader or an auditor-in real tense
interest, nothing short of it will
make any appreciate impression.
For the writer or speaker to
attempt to hide his or her real SEN
timents and present something else
is a failure. 1t engenders a stilted
style that for its very lack of the
persons originality, destroys the
interest. Ii the true ring isn't there
the sermon, the speechment or plead
ing. the lecture, address or admon-
itory talk is lame, forceless and
lifeless.
If the HERALD man isn't Civ
ing out to the world the real
thoughts from the deep of his be-
ing, he is badly deceived Its our
style and we have neither apologies
to make for it, nor promises of
cultivating it out.

hardly necessary to say that the

with the Liquor advertisers and

He wont really lose anything in
this world nor the next world by it,
though it may delusively look so
sometime. Our best wishes have

schoolboys Weather Observations.

An interesting method of instructing
boys in that part of nature study per-
tanning to the atmosphere has been de-
vised by John Reid. the headmaster Of
the Rcckleford Council school at Yeo-
vii. In England. Each day Of the
school week several boys are sent to
the corporation gas works to copy the
records of barometer movements and
raipflI th"-e Eoct, one or two less ex-
perienced lads ACCOMPANYING them.
Meanwhile other boys note the direc-
ton of the wind and record the tenn
perature from readings of thermom-
eters hung in the open on the north
and south sides of the school, The
teacher of the class then enters the
particulars on n sheet and encourages
the scholars to make deductions from
the collected data. The boys copy the
results, and every Friday they write
an account of their observations In the
form of general remarks on the
weeks weather.

This preponderance of Republican
sentiment In his immediate vicinity.
however, did not discourage him. He
realized that he was fortunate in hay
out his shingle In Kokomo and began
business on his own hook. From the
very first day he was a pronounced
success In obtaining business, and his
luck In bringing his cases to a favor
able conclusion soon became proven
bal. In an Incredibly short time he es-
tablished business second to none in
the prosperous county town, and his
prospects were exceedingly bright.
He came by his political creed very
naturally. His father was a so called
Democrat OF the old school, having i'm
bibed his political ideas in the atmos-
phere OF Monticello. near which he was
born. Thomas Jefferson was the elder
Kern's political ideal, and he made a
point Of training his clever son in the
same faith. Outside Of his immediate
home circle young Kern received little
sympathy In his political predictions,
for Howard county was overwhelming
IL Republican, and follower Of any
other party was In q hopeless minority.
Thus It was that the young lawyer
travelled rather hard political road In
his early days.

Gumptjon On The Farm

Not more land, but better land ;
not more work, but work better
planned; not more fields titled, but
fewer fields titled bet'er-these are
the things every good farmer is
aiming at.
Saw wild oats and you will reap
with thrashing machine.
Keep all the nuts and bolts snug
in place. Your machine will last
longer and do better work.
Oil the bearings often. The hor-
ses would thank you for i. if they
could. Makes the machine wear
longer, too.
Sow only the plumpest, incest
wheat this fall. Run it through the
fanning.mill and take out all the
foul stuff. Good seed is half the
crop.
Drain or put kerosene on mud
holes and swamps, and screen els
terms, water barrels, etc.. and there
will be no stagnant places for mos
quitoes to breed.
When YOU go to cut brush, take a
scythe that is stiff enough to stand
good / blow. And while you are
about it, take q good stiff back
bone with you. You will need it
before hight,
+ 1t is po1r economy to use wood
to fire the engine on thrashing day.
Coal is hgucb more satisfac CRY for
keeping up steam, and is free from
sparks that are liable. to start fires
in straw and grain stacks,
T. The twentieth century is strenu-
GUS, complex and democra ic. One
third ofthe young men of this age
are not wanted because of their
habits; but trained, loyal, cheerful,
sober-minded young men are in de-
mand. The cheap artists continue
to picture the farmer as bewhisker-
edand wearing long boots. That
type is as rare now as long-haired
poets and picture mixers The
twentieth century farmer is man
of business and looks like a man
of business. Do you know that you
can write your name on the metal
of your farm tools? You can. Just
take a little tallow or bees-wax
melt it and spread it over the place
on which you want your name;-
write your name down through the
wax with a big needle or awl and
pour a few drops of nitric acid o.
yer the letters you have made.
Leave few minutes. Then wipe
off the wax and your name will be
on tbs iron,
well, John, you didn't get a.
round to fix up the flower beds that
you promised your wife. Had nc
time? Now, don't get huffy if
tell you that you wasted enough
time last week talking politics down
at the Corner, and trying to swap
horses, to have done ten times over
whatrshe asked you to do. How
she would have enjoyed 'puttering
over her flowers in the twilight
hours Of the hot days, and the sight
of a bed of snowy asters or COLDER
hearted pansies from her kithcen
window would have helped her over
a many mornings work in steam

DO YOUR BEST

Girls and women who are start out
on business, professional or indus
trial career, each and every one of
them would do we'll to embroider a
motto in large letters upon their in
ner consciousness, says the New IDEA
WOMAN T MAGAZINE for August. The
words to be deliberately emblazoned
where none else may see, are these:
whatever comes to you to be done,
do igswith the best within you.
There comes q time to all when we
have to perform big and little tasks
thatsAesdiStasteftA to us.
Thegirl who has a college or even a
high school education, in starting out
Fuponsa business iee, will frequently
be csaiedupon to do things that she
may consider beneath her dignity
But that is no excuse for not doing
themx.welI. The sstenographer mays
be asked to do the errands of the Of
fee boy; the teacher may find. that
she will have to sweep the schoolroom
fioor,-a duty that the janitor b a
carelessly failed to do; or the girl in
the library may have to carry a large
armful of books, a work which obvi-
ously belongs to the porter. None of
these duties we're included in the bar
gain when the girl or woman sought
employment. For this reason the per-
Torrance of the hated tasks is done
with & careless hand and no interest
ed thought. But whenever a task
comes to your hand to be done no
matter what it is, do it with the best
that is in you, for every task has it's
useful lesson.
1t is just as honorable to wash dish
es we'll as to run bank successfully.
The girl who can paint beautiful
picture should be as proud of her a.
b;lity TO dust a room thoroughly as to
portray q sunset in brilliant colors.
The prophets of the Bible told US to
do all things TO the glory OF God. 1t
does not matter whether dishes are
to be washed, floors to be scrubbed. a
dinner cooked, a poem written or
marble chiseled. One act of service is
as good as another. ALI depends on
itS nnrformance

The new Bryan is a vastly more in

red US twelve years ago. His speech
es now are characterized with finer
style than than of earlier days. Wit
ness the little address made almost
without preparation at the conference

''If you won't pass II, eat itF' For
tunate1y for everybody the irate legis-
Iator's aim vas defective and the pom
derous missile went wide OF the mark.
The speaker saw the humor of the sit
uation and was disposed to make
Joke Of 1t. SO It happened that the
hasty legislator did not suffer from
the consequences of his indiscretion.
It is altogether to his credit that
short time for reflection convinced him
that he he'd been an offender and he
lost no time In making the proper
apology. $
The friendship between Taggart and
Kern is really something out Of the or
binary. At the st. Louis convention
the latter might have been considered
seriously rs vice presidential candi-
date but for his determination to put
no obstacle In the way OF Taggart's
candidacy for the national chairman
! ship. When the party leaders went to
Kern and almost importuned him to
permit them TO use his name in con-
nection with the vice presidency he de-
clared chat l,c would not be mentioned
for the place because he wanted In
diana's share Of the glory to go to Tag
CART. who was a man that deserved all
he could set. He even went to New
York to urge Judge Parker to stand
for TagSart for the craftsmanship. He
obtained a proxy from a western mem
Der of the committee, and he It was
who placed 'Taggart in nomination at
the meeting in New York at which his
friend was made chairman.
A Free Silver Champion.
Perhaps the most telling charge
which will be made against Kern In
the coming campaign is his more or
less sudden conversion from an ardent
advocate of gold coinage into a cham
plon of free silver at 16 to 1. 1t win
be remembered that at the outset he
vas Il gold advocate, speaking at a
public meeting in Indianapolis in 1895
ayainst what he then termed the free

ton" rs they were pleased to term It,
and when he ran for governor they
it!1hc,d from him many of the votes

trolled.
But in spite Of his somewhat mixed
political tendencies Mr.. Kern Is GER

Auditorium manners are not
easily acquired by people living in
sparsely populated sections. Yea, they
are not assidiously cultivated by ma
nv who have the advantage of dwell
ing in denser populated centers.

bred and born away from the assem-

CONCERNING WOMEN

The Ohio Legislature has just ad-
jOurned with a lot of good laws to it's
credit, among them one providing for
the appointment of 10 women factory
inspectors.
AT the recent election in Aurora,
ILL.,, the women were urged to form
an endles telephone chain," each
woman pledging herself to call up i've
male voters every day and urge them
to vote right. If it takes as long to
get people on the telephone in Auro-
ra as it does in some other places, the
women could have voted themselves
in half the time. e<.e
According to report just publish
ed by the Massachusetts Secretary of
State, 886 104 men were assessed a
poll-tax last year, but only 389 3O9
voted at the State election. The Bos-
ton Daily Adviser sometime ago
published statistics showing that,
except at presidential elections, the
majority of the men in Massachusetts
who could register and vote neher do
so. Their Indifference is not looking
upon as a cause for debarring the
more public-spirited minorited from
casting their ballots, and the suffra-
gists are asking why the same reason
ing should not apply to women.

The Re ublican State Convention of
Tennessee engages in a free fight,
pistols are drawn, and one delegate
yields Ratchet; the Boston Common
Council INDUCES 10 wild uproar, fierce
-vituperation, Kisses and catcalls; and
in Italy two members of Parliament
pull each others hair; vet no one
draws the inference that men are unfit
to vote. Rut just suppose that any of
these things had happened in the
National Congress of Mothers.
