PUT NOTE IN SHIRT
AND GETS HUSBAND

Hazeltown, Pa, May 13-Miss Della
Brennan. of Harwood, has left here
for Omaha, Neb., to be married to
Rodney Jewell, whom she has never
seen and with whom she became ac-
quainted through means of a note she
placed in d pocket of a shirt at a
factory where she worked.
A correspondence sprung up, pic
lures were exchanged and finally the
couple decided to wed. Miss Brennan
will be identified at the station by a
ribbon on her coat sleeve. She and
Jewell already have arranged for a
home at Omaha, which they will oc-
cupy as soon as tie nuptials take place
The young woman has been employ
ed for several years in one of the
largest manufacturing establishments
in the state, and in bidding her friends
and the scenes of her childhood adieu
she said that she was marrying for d
home. and that she thought if the man
proved as he represented himself she
would readily learn to love him. A
any event, she says, the experience
which she will gain will be worth go
ing many miles to obtain.

MAKING FALSE CLAIMS FOR
WILSON

Not only in Georgia, but in Florida
and other states where Wilson has
been defeated, are the Wilson man
ayers setting up the clamorous cry
that Wilson has been declared the
second choice of the party in those
states and that after d few ballots
for Underwood the delegations will
go to the New Jersey candidate.
True, there is no basis for such
claims. But such a little thing as the
truth doesn't worry the Wilson boost
eTs.
Neither in Georgia or Florida, in
Alabama or Mississippi, did the vot-
ers give expression to the desire tina;
Wilson be made the residuary legatee
of Underwood
In not a single one OF the four
states did the question of a second
choice play any part.
1t might have been a factor in the
elections in Florida and Georgia had
not the Wilson leaders been so cock
sure that they would win
Feeling assured of triumph at the
polls they would weaken Wilson &c
have it announced to the world that
the voters had declared for Under
wood for second choice.
They made the fight without regard
to any second choice, made the fight
on the clean-cut issue of Wilson 0.
Underwood, first, last and all thu
time.
They were whipped
And now with brazen impudencc
they set up the cry that the voters de
clared for Wilson or second choice
intending simply to compliment I'm
derwood for ballot or two
1t is, to use the plain, short, ugly
word that Roosevelt uses, a lie, a lie
out of the whole cloth.

BRYAN AS "THE MAN WHO
WATTS"

The New York Herald publishes a
cartoon that expresses the fears of a
host of Democrats.
Perched on rock is William Jen-
nings Bryan. sitting on a copy of the
CommOner, Bryan's Constitution.
Down in the open before him, mix
ing it up in lively Donnybrook Fair
style are Democratic factions, indus
tinguishable in the dust they raise as
they belabor each other with clubs
and bricks.
A quiet smile suffuses the counter
ance of the Nebraskan as he waits the
oportnnity that, ne thinks, looms jus.
before him
The Herald entities this cartoon. and
is very effective summary of the
"litical sitration as some see il.
Him Who Waits"
Bryan's advocacy of Wilson in some
states and of Clark in others has
justifiably aroused the suspicion that
he is playing a quiet game of his own,
using these two aspiIants to further
his own selfish interests.
Three consecutive defeats do not
seem to have glutted the aspiration OF
Bryan, This year opportunity favors
Democracy. The impression is gener
al that the Republican party, severed
in warning factions, can be easily de-
feated.
Bryan, it appears, believes that this
offers him the opportunity to retrieve
the defeat of the past twelve years.

An old man put on garments gay
And thought himself a beau
Dye changed to black upon a day
His hair, late white as snow.
He frisked about like any youth
Until the people said, In truth
He needs a keeper-yes!
A young man tried to play the sage
So old men he'd advise;
Although he was of tender age
He thought himself most wise.
He set around and would not claim
His pleasure OF youths store;
So people loaded him with blame
He's such pesky bore!"
Age is not youth and lketh not
A youth who old would he;
Youth is not age and waXeth hot

Youth likes not youth to sage;
