PUEBLO, Col, Sept. 1S.-Col.
Roosevelt today sent an ultima
tum to the state fair managers
here that he will not speak at the
fair tomorrow unless his expenses
between Pueblo and Denver are
paid. Managers of the fair say
they have no funs, SO Roosevelt
probably will speak at the rail-
way depot.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. 49,
William j. Bryan today boarded
a special train at Provo, Utah, for
this city and started his state
campaign for Wilson. He spoke
from the rear platform at various
stops continuing his attacks on
Roosevelt and Taft. Bryan will
start for Montana tonight and
tomorrow evening will be in
Butte.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept.
1S.-Woodrow Wilson, democra-
tic presidential didate, spent
today here and in st. Paul and
tonight will start for Chicago.

rear platform speeches, his man
ner being friendly and good ma
tured and his remarks spiced with
a dry humor.

man, presided, and he had select

the candidates are in time to print
the ballots for the November
election Is no joke. II 1t ever is
decided on the merits Of the case
1t Is dead certain that every bal

on the second choice candi-
dates.
1t has taken over a solid week
to get the returns added up aft
er a thousand judges and clerks
counted them. Now II the whole
| job In the entire state has to be
done over by small canvassing
board 1t means job that will last
some time.
But unless the ballots are
counted no one will ever really
know whether 1t was Fawcett or
Hart, or Todd, Lister or Black
the people wanted. The second
choice ballots were badly mixed
up, The face of the returns show
lots OF illegality.

With vision dimmed and feeble step

.ly: Shall we shCot the old minis
|ters?" The speaker was seriously
discussing the future Of the wern
out preachers, few Of whom are ever
able to save for the future, out of
their pitffully small salaries, and he
said further:
when the pagter gets old he is
turned out Of the ministry without
more equipment than Adam and Eve
enjoyed Ia the Gardea of Eden; but
our first parents lad this advantage
they were young"
Some Of US can call to mind 9th
ers besides pastors WHO are showed

only prospect Is that of a happy re-
lease, in the form Of death, from the
unloving and hegrudged attention
Of a selfish world
There isn't anything much sadder
than that OF an old horse whose days
of service are past, and who is
turned out" to Craze for what may
be left him Of life.
omet1nles gratitude for willing
work will get the old horse food and
shelter, but oftener he is Left to
shift for himself until such time as
the tannery and the glue factory
may use him.
But the old horses life is peace
full, compared to what some old
folks have to stand, when they have
ceased to be able to care for them
selves.
We have often been moved to
-i%L Ne
lonely old man or woman who have
no merry voices in their homes, and
who lives lives of plain routine, keep
ing company with their thoughts Of
the past And THEIR lives are
blissful, compared to the lives of
some other old men and women.
Do you number among your &C
quaintances the old lady who has to
live with her married daughter or
son?
Have you ever seen the old man
who has had to break up his home,
after the loss OF his wife, and Give
with the children?"
Have you ever visited the homes"
which charity provides for the old
and friendless?
If You have seen all this, you have
seen the gamut Of human misery in
more than one instance.
Whenever q woman or man has
amassad a sufficient amount of this

comfortably and independently, it's
a glorious thing to see them living
their happy, independent lives.
The devotion of their children, the

is, as a rule, so long as he is the
drawing card-the church builder,
the popular orator
But decentralization age has
dulled the faculties, and the facility
for money getting isn't as keen as it
was-have you marked the changed
attitude OF children and friends?
And when the preachers voice
fails him, his eLoquence is lessened
even though he still be the faith

the change in the attitude of the
world toward him?

We have been sending mission
aries to Japan for years and years
and the japanese could teach us
things it would be well for our

The children and the old people

"from the cradle to the grave"
Poverty there is in plenty, and
griad3ag poverty Of sort we can
not conceive. but always is age re-
speeted and cared for. SO far as the
family Of sons and daughters can
manage to do it.
The old people Of today realize
with greater pojgnancy than we
naiddle-aged ones do, the great
change which has been wrought
the careless Indifference Of the
younger generation for their elders.
That the middle-aged ones-the
parents of the present geaeration
are to blame, cannot be argued
against.
But the old man and the old wo-
man, with the old fashioned ideas
Of home and family life are lonely

place where each would TT in his or

methods would be forgotten.
