When Mr.. Bryan was. nominated at

cost of $3.50. No one who heard his
voice ringing out over that scene of
national enthusiasm was permitted to
know, or even suspect, his poverty.
Then he obtained an engagement in

state and presidential campaigns. In
this way he picked up $1,000 and with

That summer the blind man had an

One day in June he had only eight

with his wife to consider what they
should do with the eight cents. It was
decided that the money should be
spent on postage In an effort to secure
speaking engagements. The political
fight had to be kept UP at any cost.
The fight for seat In the United

only be brought about, first, by prop

Four or five inches of these materials

THE BLIND SENATOR.
Marvellous Career of Thomas P.
Gore of Oklahoma.
How He Won His Fight Against Pow.
erty and Adversely, and Achieved
His Early Ambitions In Spite
of Obstacles.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-No man in
markable career than Senator Thomas
Pryor Gore Of Oklahoma. whose
charges of attempted bribery in con-
nection with the sale of Indian lands
stirred the country and brought about
investigation by congressional COM
mittee. Marvellous almost beyond be-
lief were the struggles of this blind
man-blind from early youth-to
reach the great goal of his ambition
a seat in the senate of the United
States.
Senator Gore was born on a farm in
Mississippi in 1870, later being taken
to the village of Walthall, when the
latter was created. At the age of eight
one of his eyes was jabbed out by
playmate. But he still had one good
eye left and his grief was forgotten
when some friends told him one day
that he mad been appointed a page in
the Mississippi legislature. This career
was, however, ended three years after
the first accident by fate so cruel
and unusual that it would have crushed
the spirit of ninety-nine boys out OF
any hundred in the land. While ex.
perimenting with toy cross-bow, he
himself shot out his remaining eye.
He was now totally blind, and had
to give up his pageship. For the next
five years his chief diversion was to
hear his sister and mother read to
him. Then normal school was opened
at his home town, and he entered, his
lessons being read to him at home and
by his schoolmates.
A debating society was organized in
| this school and the blind boy joined
and displayed a wonderful aptitude
for debate One day companion
found an old volume of the Congress
sional Record. Going to an old stable
the companion would read to him the
speeches of the lawmakers at Wash
ington and then there entered Cores

The poor mother sank on her knees,
and praying to the Virgin, promised
that If her baby were restored to her
she would put figure of the Mother
of God in the very place where the
monkey sat. and that there should
burn for all time light before it.
The monkey thereupon came quietly
down and laid the smiling and happy
child in its mothers arms, who imme-

she left the tower to her heirs, on
condition that the light should never
go out, and If neglected the tower

in the program. Mrs. Plum was anx.

notions of biblical injunction.
Pastor Pickersgill said he could
find no authority for such a ceremony,
and when he appeared before the
crowd on the shore he announced that
the ceremony would not take place.
He had helped plant the cross in the
sand with rocks about its base, when
the tide was low, just as Mrs. Plum
desired, but there would be no cere-

the bundles are large. If it is left to

The shocking of the wheat is very

well put together If they stand the

1t Is good idea to follow system
in building shocks. Every one ought
to be about the same size and built
after good substantial plan. The
following has proved itself to be a
very successful way of putting bundles
together to stand the storms of sum-
mer.
Place three pair of bundles in row
and set bundle at each end. The
bundles in the pair should be set out
at the butts to give good slant when
set together. 1t Is we'll to see that the
heads of the two outside pair slant
well to the heads of the center pair.
The end bundles should also slant
sufficiently. Now place three bundles

end to the direction from whence most
