THE GREAT REVIVAL OF PA
TRlOTiSM

"Shall the democratic party be AL
drichized?'
Shall the democratic national con-
vention in 1912 be controlled by an
Aldrich, democracy, or shall it repre-
sent real democratic sentiment?'
do you believe the democratic
party should be kept free from entan-
clements with special interests?"
Very well, then, listen to William
Jennings Bryan, who explains how it
can be done-explains it in black
faced type that scatters over most of
the first page of the Commoner; ex-
plains it in terms SO simple that lit
tie child can understand.
Now this is the way to save the
democratic party and prevent the
preparation of whatever outrages
are about to be perpetrated:
Mr.. Bryan will do his part in the eff
! fort to protect the democratic party
from Aldrichism. On the stump and
Through the Commoner he will insist
4 that the progress made by the party
aduring the past sixteen years shall
not be thrown away; that the special
Interests shall not control the cr1-
kvention; that its platform shall be
honest and unequivocal, and it's can
edidates devoted to genuine democrat
Tic doctrine.
In order to place his views before
ia larger number of people, Mr. Bryan
has given instructions that his paper,
Ethe Commoner, be sent to every new
subscriber for a period of two years
flor the sum of $1-the regular price
for one year.
You are invited to join Mr.. Bryan
in this great fight
What could be more simple or more
certain? But if you cannot stand the
Commoner two years for dollar,
send three dollars for the Outlook,
Theodore Roosevelt, contributing edi-
tor, and help save the republican par
ty from sin and shame.
And the Star-spangled banner, oh,
long may it wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave.

A ROOSTER ATTACKS A RATTLE
SNAKE.

Mr.. w. d. Eminisor of Spar was
in Ocala Saturday and told of thrill
ing battle that he witnessed between
a pet rooster of his and a rattlesnake.
The rooster was confined in the fowl
house when the rattlesnake crawled
in, without warning and without in
vitation. The rooster saw no means
of escape, and the only thing that he
could do was to fight, and fight he
did. He did not wait upon prepare
tions, but began hostilities without
proclamation. The snake put him.
self in a fighting attitude by getting
into a coil and furiously sounding his
rattles. The rooster continued to
peck him on the back of the head, and
the snake seemed to have been at
disadvantage from the start. The
battle was kept up for fully five min
utes. during which time the snake
failed to make a strike. Mr.. Emini-
sor finally procured a hoe, went to
the ROSTERS assistance and behead-
ed his invader.

MOTHER LOVE

All. rosy lips of blushing maid,
That thrill the lover on his knee;
Oh, nectared, honied lips of youth
The lush, warm lips of ecstacy-
! wave my hand in thoughts of thee!
1 And down the rivulet of Time
/ gaze with sadder eyes of brown,
And weave thy rapture into rhyme
Ind yet, o wine of June-time love,
.Iconoclast, | break thy sway,
TO dream of lips, oh, dearer far
The lips that kissed the hurts away
All, mother love l knew or yore,
EOh, lips so soft and clinging sweet
give to thee the truest love,
TO thee the homage most completei
When all the world was dark and cold
when the sun was chilled by tears
Thy lips, o, mother, gone for aye,
Were lips that kissed away my fears
They came with comfort swift and
sure,
EAnd when upon my eyes they lay,
With love and feeling all divine,
sThey kissed every pain away.
No more when worldly wounds are
sore,
She comes to kiss my troubled eyes
No more she scourges pain or fear
She sleeps-at rest in Paradise.
All, rosy lips of youth and maid,
The lips whispering in the dusk,
All, happy lips, the lips of troth,
The lips whose smiling hint OF
musk,
The glories simmer on and out,
Thy brightness fades to ether gray
O. God! | dream of mothers love
The love that kissed the tears away
a WHITE ROSE.

Mrs. Martin Pleads Non Vult to
Mans auuhter.

Newark, Jan. 10.-Mrs. Caroline b.
Martin, one of the two surviving
Wardlaw sisters. held under an in.
dictment charging the murder Of
Ocey w. NJ. Snead. whose body was
found in a partly furnished house in
East Orange, November 29, 1909,
pleaded non vult to manslaughter be-
fore Judge Ten Eyck yesterday
The plea was accepted and Mrs.
Martin was remanded for sentence on
Saturday Mrs. Mary w. Snead, the
other defendant, was in the court
room when the plea was made Her
case was not taken up 1t was said
that the indictment against her might
be nolle pressed.
Immediately after Prosecutor Mott
announced that he had decided to &C
cept a plea of non vult in Mrs. Mar
tins case, Mrs. Martin arose from her
chair and objected She wanted the
plea changed to involuntary man
slaughter, she said, but the court de-
clared that the non vult pea submit
ted by her counsel would stand.
/ The plea of non vult is an admis.
sion of the act without intent OF
crime.
There was a long argument among
counsel as to whether Mrs. Martin
should plead non vult to manslaught.
er, and Prosecutor Mott, turning to
Mrs Martin said Your counsel
has advised me that you want to with
draw your former plea and plead
non vult to manslaughter"

As she was being led from the

say Everybody is against me She
and her sister were both taken back
