Not enough attention is paid to the
falls OF childhood. Mothers get SO
used to children tumbling around that
they take 1t quite lightly unless bones
are broken.
1t should be remembered that In
juries to the soft bones of a child
may do permanent harm. especially II
there be a head hurt.
Keep the child quiet for time who
has had hard fall. bathe the para
freely with some soothing lotion, and
If there seems to be trouble that does
not yield to simple home remedies,
send for a doctor at once.

The visitor dared to ask why Mr..

This was the reply: you are young
man. The cruelty Of fate becomes ar~
parent to people as they grow older.
At first one may perhaps escape con.
tact with 1t, but II one lives long

very ephemmeral.' "But is not opti-
mism useful and sane philosophy 2
the visitor asked. There's too much
sham optimism, humbugging, and even
cruel optimism" Mr. Hardy retorted.
~Sham optimism is really a more
heartless doctrine to preach than even
an exaggerated pessimism-the latter
leaves one at least on the safe side

BRYAN IN NEBRASKA.

Rockville iInd) Tribune. William
J. Bryan's course at the Baltimore
convention was overwhelmingly in
dorsed at the Nebraska state conyen-
ton. Mr. Bryan has been severely
criticised by those who objected to
his change from Clark to Wilson on
the ground that the Nebraska dele
gates had been instructed at primary
election for Clark But the vote for
Clark, as Mr.. Bryan construed It, was
a vote for him as a progressive--not
a reactionary-and the instructions
were more binding on the issues than
on the personality of the candidate 1t
was eminently proper under the cir
cumstances that the question should
be submitted to a referendum vote of
the state convention. This was OPP
posed by Mr. Bryan's personal en-
emies, who illogically opposed the
very thing that would prove whether
or not he disobeyed the mandate of
his people. The speech of Mr. Met
calfe in defense of Mr.. Bryan's posi-
tion was one of the best ever deliver
ed before a popular assembly With
such a speech, not to mention the
cause it advocated, it is not strang
that the vote of approval was so large.
