Solid Comfort.


How sweet It Is at eventide
To put your feet above your head
And at a bulging gift cigar
Puff until time to go to bed!
There are the joys Of chase and war,
OF smashing hearts-a thankless task
But what are they compared to this,
May be pardoned II ask?
Youth more excitement may enjoy,
And raising of the gent called Cain,
Attending fights in cellars damp
Or going somewhere on the train,
But middle age enjoys II best
To end the day In calm repose
With feet upon the mantelpiece
And with @ pipe to warm his nose
Then visions flock about his ears.
His long lost youth returns again,
And he is soaring foes to death
Or leading forth to battle men,
Or maybe he is catching fish,
Or leading in the merry dance.
Or only wondering il in stocks
1t would be wise to take a chance
Serenity and comfort Turk
In slippers and an easy chair
And in a wreath OF rising smoke
That fills with curlicues the air.
Far more enjoyment is in that
Than chasing all about the town
And making merry with the boys
When middle life is bearing down.

GOOD IDEA.

A subcommittee of the Ways and
Means committee, consisting of Rep
resentatives Palmer of Pennsylvania
Hughes, of New Jersey. and Hill. OF
Connecticut, is considering an inter
esting bill which is exciting much at
tention among the police authorities
of the country. 1t proposes to place
a Federal tax on all sorts of deadly
weapons to prevent crime and Incl.
d~entally to increase the e OF
the government.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Sisson of Mississippi, and
imposes a tax of $3.50 and % per
cent. ad valorem on pistols, revol-
vers. dirk knives. bowie knives,
sword cases, stilettos and brass OF
metallic knuckles. The revenue
which it is thought would be raised
If the bill became a law is estimated
at $500. 600 a year. The sub-com-
nittee is now giving hearings on the
bill.
The manufacturers of pistols and
revolyers are, of course, opposing the
enactment of the measure. but the
police and other authorities of vari-
Gus cities commend the bin in strong
terms. Mayor Baker and Chief OF
Police Holt, of Cleveland, have sent
the committee communications urg-
ing that the Law be put through.

ic convention has been temporarily
lost sight of. However, that will be
a front page event the coming week.

opens Tuesday. Indications are that
the Democratic convention will be as
much of a "di6dings" as the Repub-
lican fray developed. There is a
large field of conspicuous entries for
presidential honors, and the chances
are that William Jennings Bryan
will have a good sized hat in tbs
ring and prove a proposition to be
considered. The Nebraskan has been
busy watching the Chicago proceed

CALIFORNIA DELEGATION
CARRY "HOUN' DAWGS."

The California delegation of the
"Unterriied," en- route TO the Ma
tional Democratic convention at Bal
timore, passed through Nevada, Tues
day. in a special train over the West
ern Pacific. There was nothing of
the Jeffersonian simplicity noticeable
in the manner in which the Californ-
ians made their pilgrimage. as the
special train de luxe of eight Pull
mans was one of the finest and best
! appointed ever hauled VI a west
ern railroad. Neither was there any
doubt as to how the delegation stood
upon the candidate question, as
Champ Clark, first, last and all the
time" was the motto and slogan.
The party numbered Sc persons, of
whom &c we're delegates, another 26
alternates, 80 women, and other
prominent members of the California
Democracy.
Every member of the party was
not only a Clark booster in words,
but carried the Clark sign in more
ways than me. Each member of the
party wore a neat script scrole bear
ing the name, Champ Clark" Be-
low this was a larger badge with an
imitation ear of corn in bronze, with
the word CLARK across il. From the
ear of corn by two little chains hung
a bar which gave the information
that the wearer was either a delegate.
alternate or visitor; still lower and
hung to two little chains vas a
miniature bear with the word Cali
fornia" across it. The badge is one
of the most elaborate eve seen in
convention use.
But this did not end the Clark ad-
yertising that the members of the
party carried. Each member carried
a yellow pennant with the name
Champ Clark worked in black let
tiers across it. Further decorations
consisted of imitation California pop
pies with a little ribbon attached,
with the words. San Francisco.
1915"
The most unique souvenir which
the party carried. however. and
which will be used at the convention.
consists of a tinted plaster of paris
has relief panel with the word Cali
fornia." Under this is the figure of a
hound dog" and a leg and boot
with the words, You Gotta Quit
kicking Ny Dawg Around"
In speaking of the Clark senti-
ment of the party B. F. Fly. assistant
secretary of the delegation. said:
I'VE are for Champ Clark first. last
and all the time. The twenty-six
votes of California will go to the
speaker of the house until he is
either nominated or he personally
comes TO us and says that We need no
longer yote for him. We have no
second choice and expect to have
none. for We believe that Champ
Clark will be nominated on the
second or at least the third ballot"
The party stopped in Salt Lake
City for breakfast, Wednesday. and

the town. and a visit to the taber-
. nacle where a special organ recital
