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 Reckleford 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
rainfall there kept, 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 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.

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 cham
pion of free silver at 16 to 1. 1t will
be remembered that at the outset he
was a gold advocate, speaking at a
public meeting in Indianapolis in 1896
against what he then termed the 'sfree
silver craze" The leaders of the gold
movement remembered Kern's "deser-
tion,'' as they were pleased to term it,
and when he ran for governor they
withheld from him many Of the votes
which he might otherwise have con-
trolled.
But in spite Of his somewhat mixed
political tendencies Mr.. Kern is GER
tain to find many warm friends in In
diana among the members Of all par
ties. Personally he is liked by al
most everybody.

Family Socially Prominent.

The Kern family is prominent so
cially in Indianapolis. Mrs. Kern is a
brilliant woman, endowed with live
~ wit, and the Kern home is the cen
ter of refined circle composed of the
most intellectual people Of the notably
intellectual capital of Indiana.
It is no secret that the Kern boom
has been the particularly pet hobby of
the Democratic chairman, Tom Tag
CART, who announced to his friends on
the eve of his departure for Denver
that he should never return unless
John Kern were given the nomination
for the vice presidency. It has long
been known in Indiana political circles
that Taggart has always considered
his friend to be first class presidential
timber, and he saw no especial reason
why he should not be given first place
on the ticket if the Nebraska man
failed to make good. Taggart's deter
mination to promote the advancement
Of his friend was the cause Of much
merriment at Denver, although those
who are personally acquainted with
the nominee are Of the opinion that
Kern is big enough to justify the
chairman's admiration.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-07-15

or descended to the abuse of any Of
his political antagonists. He is es-
teemed throughout, the state as man
of high ideals and pure motives.
In 1900 Mr. Kern received the nom
ination for governor, but he went down
to defeat with Mr.. Bryan Again in
1904 he was given another opportu-
nifty, but the sorry political fortune of
the previous campaign was repeated.
Although he was regarded as one of
Mr.. Bryan's stanchest friends, he was
the first Indiana man Of any especial
prominence to come out for Judge Al
ton B. Parker, whom he supported 10y
ally without in any way endangering
his friendship for the man from Ne
of Mr. Bryan's closest friends and adj
mirers.
Mr.. Kern is a native son of the
Hoosier State, born in Howard county,
near Kokomo, in 1649. He is Of south
ern extraction, his father having emf
grated from Virginia in 1886 and be-
coming one of the pioneers Of Howard
county, where he practiced medicine
for several years. When John was
five years Of age his parents decided
to remove to Iowa, and the family re-
manned in that state until the lad was
fifteen. Soon after the Kerns had
returned to their old home their son
entered the State Normal school and
after short period of preparation be-
came district school teacher in How
ard county. After he had succeeded
in saving a little money he entered
the University Of Michigan as men,
| Der of the freshman class.
His means were not sufficient to adj
nit Of regular attendance at the uni
versity, and he was obliged to take
several long intermissions in order to
earn the money necessary to complete
his course. But he was resolute in
4 the determination to obtain an educa-
ton, and he permitted no hardship to
turn him from his purpose. When he
was graduated he carried off all the
honors to which he was eligible, and
his record was most gratifying Of any
member of the class.

When His Aim Was Poor.

A story Illustrative Of Kern's dispo-
sition to grow FESTIVE under disap-
pointment comes from Indianapolis
When he was member Of the state
legislature he introduced a bill which
was defeated. It was a matter In
which he felt great personal interest,
and when tie vote was counted against
it he rose in his place, accused the
speaker in no undecided terms Of kill
ing his bill, and, hurting bulky type
written copy Of the measure at the
head Of the presiding officer, shouted,
eff you won't pass it, eat itv' For
tunately for everybody the irate legis-
lator's aim was 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 it. So it happened that the
hasty legislator did not suffer from
the consequences of his indiscretion.
1t is altogether to his credit that a
short time for reflection convinced him
that he had 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 as a vice presidential candi-
date but for his determination to put
no obstacle in the way Of Taggarts
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 that he would not be mentioned
for the place because he wanted In
diana's share Of the glory to go to Tag
CART, who was man that deserved all
he could get. He even went to New
York to urge Judge Parker to stand
for Taggart for the craftsmanship. He
obtained proxy from western mem

from home to recuaarate. He con-
Quoted a whirlwind campaign that
year, making a great number Of
speeches and travelling over greater
part of the state. He is regarded as a
redhot campaigner and is an orator of
force and eloquence. He was the
friend of Hendricks and Voorhees, and
served with those great political lights
in many well fought battles.
Mr.. Kern is above the middle height
of slight build and active nervous
temperament. An able constitutional
lawyer, he arraigns the present Re
publican administration severely for
usurpation of power and the state adj
ministration for its enactment of the
so called ripper" bill, which he claims
was used for partisan purposes by the
Republican governor. Mr.. Kern is
dark haired and has crop of flowing
whiskers and is most impressive per-
sonality generally.
