This afternoon Mr.. Bryan spoke at

part:
The Democratic platform makes Re
publican extravagances one of the issues
of the present campaign. The Re
publican platform is silent on the sub
ject and naturally 50; to have promised
economy would have been mockery,
and to have defended the appropriations
made by the last Congress would have
been impossible.
While this tendency to eXtravagance
manfeStS itself in nearly all depart
mentS, it is especially noticeable in the
army department and the navy depart
ment The imperialistic policy for which
the Republican party is responsible is
the only excuse for this enormous and
increasing drain upon the taxpayers.
Those New Offices.
our platform also calls attention 10
the fact that $4,000 new offices have
been created, at an expense of $4,000,
eco year, as against an increase OF
10000 new offices with salaries amount
ing to 100000. in the Cleveland and
Mckinley administrations.
While every element of our population
suffers TO Il greater or less extent because
of the unnecessary expenditures Of the
government. the farmers have special
reason for complaint, because they pay
more than their share of the benefits
which flow from the expenditure of the
corporations.
Why is it that the Republican party
is SO much more eXtravagant than the
Democratic party i'll the expenditure Of
public money: There are two reasons:
First, because Republican leaders are
more intimately associated with the tax
eaters than with the tax payers: second
the Republican leaders have taught the
doctrine that taxation is an unalloycd
good. 1t is not strange that people who
consider taxation a blessing would be III
clined to make the blessing as large as
possible

BRAIN POW Err
Increased by Proper Feeding.
q Reason

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared fam
lily. found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food
for brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes:
II am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. | for
merly had no appetite In the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
unable to eat breakfast felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage. cookies,
doughnuts or anything l happened to
find. Being writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep.
when | read OF Grape-Nuts began
eating 1t every morning, also gave 1t
to the children, including my 10
months old baby. who soon grew as
fat as little pig. good natured and
contented.
II wrote evenings and feeling the
need OF sustained brain power, began
eating small saucer OF Grape-Nuts
with milk. instead of my usual indi-
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for
dessert at night.
Il grew plump, nerves strong, and

known as sweeping the girls" If a
girl is not kissed by an admirer be-
fore nine o'clock on ST. Valentines
morning she is said to be dusty" Ac-
cordingly all the young men of the
neighborhood on learning that some
young woman has remained unkissed
past the fatal hour make an attack
sweeping her thoroughly, each of her
callers kisses her.
the French province of Lorraine has
custom somewhat similar, which is
called beating the ladies'" 1t dates
back to the sixteenth century. On
st. Valentines morning every mar
riageable daughter is expected to arise
at daybreak and bake a heart-shaped
cake for the first young man who may
come for it. If she should oversleep,
however, and her lover should call to
find her all unmindful of him and the
occasion which brought him to her
door then his rivals are privileged to
punish her in the following fashion:
Armed with wisps of hay they may in
wade her room and, compelling her to
get up, they may administer a not es.
pecially ungentle thrashing.
In the county of Norfolk England,
there still survives custom which
recalls the times when st. Valentines
day was observed throughout Great
Britain and the continent by the pre-
sentation Of substantial gifts. In this

mistresses. but parents their children,
husbands their wives, and in the mer-
ry days of Charles II. husbands gave
presents to other mems wives.
Among the young women of Devon
shire the belief still fingers that they
are able to learn who their future hus-
bands will be If they go through a
certain peculiar formula shortly after
the midnight that ushers in st. Valen-
tines day. Each maiden should go
alone to the porch of the village
church and there wait until 1890 a. m.
Then as the bell strikes the half hour
she should return home scattering
hempseed in her path and repeating:
"Hempseed 1 SOW hempseed 1 NOW.
He that will my true love be,
Come rake this hempseed after me-"
And II she is going to be married
In the next year she will indeed see
her lover behind her clad in a wind
ing sheet and raking up the hempseed.
In many parts Of Germany the chill
dren find st. Valentines day a special
occasion to obtain charity from young
women, who cannot refuse them with
out being threatened with the fate Of
becoming old maids. In certain vii.
lagos of Saxony little boys and girls
go from house to house singing song
which has been translated as follows
into English rhyme:
God bless the baker.
II youll be the giver
I'll be the taker."

His deep anxiety in those days be-
fore the troops arrived and when

have read the story of the war. At
ter the arrival of the Seventh New
York regiment OF "dandies," who
dined at Delmonico's before departing
and the Massachusetts and Rhode

les and tradespeople, the capital was
in no danger until the attack of Gen.

heart of the man who, from the win
dow of his executive office, could see
traitor flag floating over the home
across the river where Washington
had lived and died
When the Notifications were thrown
up around the capital Lincoln knew of
every detail of the work, consulted
with the men in charge, informed and
advised them. 1t was, therefore, no
occasion of comment when he left
the White House on this July 10 and
walked among the soldiers. They
stood, ready for action, behind the
walls while from the plain below came
the sound of conflict
Gen. Early's own story of his move
ment upon Washington shows the
situation in the confederate ranks on
that day. He had approached Wash
ington from the north Having heard
that the outer works were feebly
manned, he meant to take them by
surprise, but before his first divis.
ion could be brought up, he says, he
saw cloud of dust in the rear of the
works and soon a column of men
in blue filed into them on the right
and left. Then skirmishers were
thrown out in front. while an artil-
lery fire was opened on the confeder-
ates from number of batteries.
"Our skirmishers were all thrown
to the front" wrote Gen. Early, "driv-
ing those of the enemy to the cover
of their works. and we proceeded to
examine the Notifications in order to
ascertain If it was practicable to car
ry them by assault. They were found
to be exceedingly strong and consisted
of what appeared to be inclosed forts

ened by palisades and abattis. The
timber had been felled within cannon
range all around and left on the
ground, making formidable obstacle,
and every possible approach was
raked with artillery"
Thus it would seem that President
Lincoln incurred little danger on the
day when he went about within the
fortifcation walls. But that he was
in some danger Is shown by Col
Roome's story.

Indications point to the early pa,E
sage of the bill. The president of th1
United States commended the expC4E
ton to the careful consideration dE
the congress in his official MESSIAH
delivered on December 4, 1906, anil
also in his message delivered on oil
cember 3, 1907, the latter mention be5
ing in the following terms:
The courage and enterprise OF thiI
citizens Of the far northwest in theiI
projected Alaska Yukon-Pacific exMI
sition, to be held in 1909, should rel
ceive liberal encouragement. This eEI
| position Is not sentimental in its conf
ception, but seeks to exploit the nat|
| ural resources of Alaska and to pro|
! mote the commerce, trade and indus
try of the Pacific states with theiS
neighboring states and with our insu
lar possessions, and the neighborins
countries of the Pacific. The exposY
ton asks no loan from the congress-
| but seeks appropriation for national
exhibits and exhibits of the western
| dependencies of the general govern
ment. The state of Washington and
the city of Seattle have shown ths
characteristic western enterprise ID
| large donations for the conduct of thl
| exposition, in which other states ar
lending generous assistance.
During the past year honorary conf
nissioners of the exposition visited
Great Britain, France, Germany, Hobl
land, Russia, China, Japan, Italy, Nor|
way, Sweden, Austria, Canada, Mer|
leo. and the Central and South Amer
lean states, and have received assur|
ances from prominent manufactured
shippers and commercial association
chat the interest in the aims and purI
poses of the exposition in those coun|
tries is sufficient to justify that meas
ure of participation on their part al
will be in keeping with the scope oil
our exposition as we have determined
it.
In addition to Washington, which
appropriated $1,000,000 for its repre-
sentation at the exposition, the foil
lowing states have made provision to|
participate: Oregon, California
Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Missouri and
Utah. Assurances have been given|
that fifteen other states will also par|
ticipate.
Work on the grounds is in an adj
vanced stage. The avenues, circles
plazas, and courts have been graded
and the building sites cleared. Ths|
administration building has been oc|
cupied by the executive force fG|
many months. The manufacturer
building is well under way; the audi
forum, fine arts palace, and machir
cry building, permanent structures
nave been started. The agricultuT|
building and several minor structure;
are beginning to rise. Oregon and
California have their plans in prepar|
alton, and will soon start construct
ton.
A conservative preliminary eshl
mate of the probable paid admissions
at the exposition is made at 2,50O,ONl
This will be larger than the attenGl
ance at any previous exposition ever
held in the United States, with the ei
ception of Philadelphia, Chicago, Bul
falo and st. Louis expositions. Tns
probable number of visitors from cas-
of Denver is estimated at approx
mately 100000.

Our claim that it is "Food for

upon the fact that certain parts of

Dr. Geo. w. Carey In his book on

says:
when the medical profession fully

THE gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter of the brain.
"Of course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-fuid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
"The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash, Is to my
mind. the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and

largely predominates in nerve-fluid.

end OF the matter Is to supply the

followed another bullet, less honest,
that took away his life
On the morning of July ~, 1864,
young Northumberland of the Six
ty-fifth New York volunteers, standing
just outside Fort Stevens, one of the
series of forts that completely sur
rounded and guarded Washington,
saw President Lincoln walking fear
lessly among his soldiers, discussing
the conditions and circumstances of
the then impending attack upon the
city by Gen. Early and his confeder-
ate forces, while a battle ragged out
side the breastworks.
Watching with the curiosity of a
soldier who had seen his president
only twice before, the colonel was
alarmed when he saw him hit by a
bullet which had sped through the air
from the camp of the enemy. That
young officer was William p. Roome,
who was acknowledgement and chief
of staff to Mai -Gen. Upton.
Sometimes Col. Roome has thought
of writing to Lincoln's biographers
and telling them of the incident, but
he procrastinated, not considering
it matter of sufficient importance to
interest them. Lately. however, not
ing the renewed interest in the minut-
est details of the life of Lincoln, he
believes that Americans would like
to know the facts.
