BRYANS NOMINATION.

The selection of William j. Bryan by
the Democrats as their candidate for
president Of the United States Joins the
issues OF that which will be the one of
the greatest campaigns in the later MIS-
tory Of the country. Those Republicans
who profess to believe that bryan has
little or no chance Of being elected to
the presidency next fan are guided BY
their wishes rather than by knowledge
Of tae situation Although twice de-
feated fer election and thus apparently
thoroughly worn out as presidential
possibility, Bryan has ceme back this
year, rehahiiitsted in the favor OF his
party and stronger than ever To be
sure. there is still ranking among
SEINE Democratic breasts over tree silver
the same ranking that was there in
the two elections in which Bryan was
defeated. But that feeling is wearing
away with each year. IS il evidenced by
the AL but unanimous nomination On

The Oriqin of PortuQal.

About the year 1894 the name of Portugal appears in the annals. Al fonso VII. of Castle in that year signed over to Count Henry of Bur- gundy, who had left his native land to help fight the threatening Moor, the county of Portugal as lief The name Portugal comes directly from the Latin, signifying the Port of Gale Gale being the old name for the town of Oporto. The brief of Alfonso marks the beginning of the separate existence of Portugal. Though for many years it was no more than a feudal depend, ence of Castile, nevertheless this child was the father of the later independent kingdom. In the year 1139 the lords Of Portugal took the title of king and refused allegiance to any power, Mos. lem or Christian.-Rosary Magazine.

that l would soon be better, and by several things she said inferred that she was nursing some one.
 Il was thus luXuriating blissfully when the thing she had put on my stomach began to burn. 1 presume If my face could at that moment have been seen it would have been wildly expressive. Once the thing began to burn it grew apace, and it was not long before it felt as if redhot iron was being pushed about among my entrails.
 Did you ever hear of the boy who wIun one hand sho%aiad ice creana into his mouth and with the other held the space between his eyes that the cold made painful, crying all the while? Well, I was like that boy. had never before held woman's soft hand at night anywhere, certainly not in lonely hotel, and couldn't make up my mind to let go. I knew I had some sort of plaster on and might take it of with my loose hand, but she would hear me and the situation would be closed. ! he thing kept burning and burning until could stand it no longer.
 "'Great Scott! l cried at last, start ing up. This is the fire of purgatory.'
 Il heard the scratch of match. and ill an instant gas jet illumined the room.
 There stood girl in dishabille-a wrapper and a pigtail. She looked at me with holy horror. then exclaimed:
 "'Good gracious!
 "'You must have got into the wrong room,' l remarked.
 "I should think so.'
 "'Who is the patient you are caring for?'
 My brother went down to get d mustard plaster and coming back got into the wrong room.'
 "'Well you've burned a hole pretty near through me-
 'I took the thing off and flung it out on the floor.
 You may call it fate or chance or providence or what you like, but the way l came to marry my wife was through mustard plaster. It would take five hundred page novel to tell the rest of the story, and I'm not in that line. You can make up a theory from my case or let it alone. When ever l tell the story I can feel that redhot plaster on my vitals.

SET FORTH HIS APPRECIATION.
Captains Naive Testimony to the
 Worth of His Nurse.

Nurses in training have many hard ships to bear, but perhaps none is worse than having to appear cheerful under all conditions A sense of humor is perhaps as great an asset as a nurse can have, for it will help her over many a difficulty.
 The daughter of a wealthy man up state became ambued with the desire to know how to earn her own living, and to that end she entered one of the large city hospitals as nurse, says the New York Press. The work was to her liking, and as she looked on the bright side of everything, she was gen. erally in happy frame Of mind. Her particular pet" was an old and illit- crate sea captain, who was in the sur gical ward with a broken arm which would not knit. He was cheerful old fellow, and his droll remarks gained for him the good will of every body. One day when the nurse had paid him some little attention, he said with an appreciative smile:

How HeMet HiSFate

GCopyright, 1908. by American Press Asso-
 ciation.]
 Three friends dining at cafe were chatting on the subject why certain people fail to fulfill law of nature in mating One of them, a married man, after listening to all the others had to say. spoke up:
 ..-----'.t-s. --.-zA-- people the same as lightning does. Some are thrown together, some are kept apart, some go into it thoughtful ly, some toboggan into it."
 How did you happen to embark in matrimony?" asked one of the party. You speak as if you had had one of these experiences yourself"
 My own case is peculiar. Like other young men, if they will admit it, I ex- perienced longing for some woman who would be all in all to me. But, in the first place, didn't think l could afford wife, and, in the second, noth- ing occurred to attach me to any wo- man. The day When would get my affairs in shape and make marriage a prime object was always few years ahead of me.
 "I had reached the age of thirty-five without getting any nearer to settling down in home when one night, while on a journey, I found myself in bed in hotel. One can't conceive of any probability of a more uniting place for that inexorable fate we have been speaking of to start one of its matri- monial ventures. l was alone, lying awake, did not know person in the city where I was. and 1t was mid night
 'I had been counting the strokes of a city clock when I heard the door open and the rustic of dress approaching my bed There were several matters which would naturally have occurred to me if there had been time. In the first place, ! had forgotten to lock my door; in the second, whoever had en- tered was not likely to be a robber, nor even a thief, for there was noth- Ing stealthy in the entrance nor the approach. It was pitch dark, and 1 could see nothing. I could only hear. A woman's voice-it was sweet and sounded sweeter in the loneliness of midnight-said:
 Sorry I've been so long I could not help it. I had to wake them up to get into the kitchen
 "I naturally waited for develop ments. A hand was slipped under the bedclothes and something warm placed on my stomach. Then the hand was withdrawn, and the voice said:
 "T'll light the gas.'
 Now, there was something pleasant in all this that I knew must cease un- der the light. It was plain that had been mistaken for sick man,, and 1 was in no hurry to disabuse the owner of the voice who had made the mis- take.
 Don't I said in sort of invalid moan. Come and hold my handr 'I heard her feeling for a chair, which she drew to- my bedside and, sitting down, took my hand with one of hers while she passed the other over my forehead. Not only were the hands soft. but l was quite awar" that so long as 1t was dark l had a soft thing wanted to say some thing, but feared my voice would give me away. So contented myself with an. occasional moan just to let her know that I was not in a talking mood. She encouraged me to believe

DELICATE CHILDREN.
All Persons Who Have Delicate Chill
dren in Waxahachie WilEBe
Interested in This Article,

Rapidly growing children need
great deal of vitality. They grow
fast, play hard and work too hard
at school Then the appetite becomes
fitful, their nights are restless and
they soon become weak, delicate and
sickly.
We want to remind the parents of
every such child in Waxahachie that
Vinol, will correct these troubles
and make for each child new vitali-
ty, sound flesh and muscle tissue,
strong bone structure and pure rich
red blood 1t will build them up, fill
out hollow cheeks and make them
strong, robust and rosy.
Mrs. C. Allen OF New Bedford.
Mass, writes: with, two puny, ali
ing children, l was very much wor-
ried. l had tried almost everything
| to build them up without success
and, as last resort tried Vinol. The
benefit was great in a very short
| time, they gained flesh and strength
SO rapidly
The reason Vinol is so far super
ior to the old-fashioned cod liver oil,
emulsions and other tonics for chill
dren is because Vinol is a delicious
modern cod liver preparation with
out oil made by scientific extrac-
tive and concentrating process from
fresh Gods liyers, combining with
| experimentation all the medicinal,
healing, bodybuilding elements of
cod liver, but no oil, and children
slove it. We ask parents OF Waxaha-
| chic who have delicate children to
| try Vinol on our guarantee to re.
turn their money If it fails to give
satisfaction. Hood & Curtin, Drug
