AN X. Adrian ii. Joline of New
XHJ York, an old friend of the
late President Cleveland
and former president of the NJ. X.
& T. railroad, last week made pub
lie a letter to himself from Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, written
in 1907, in which Mr.. Wilson gave
utterance to the sentiment, Would
that we could do something at once
dignified and effective to knock Mr..
Bryan into cooked hat. The
letter was in response to one from
Mr.. Joline to Mr.. Wilson accom-
panying copy of an address the
later had delivered at Topeka,
Kansas, in which he arraigned the
entire public record Of Mr.. Bryan.
MIR. Wilson's letter Endorsed all
that MIR. Jolne had said i'll his ad-
dress aud closed with the words
quoted. Gov. Wilson bolted the
regular Democratic ticket in 1896
and voted against Mr.. Bryan, but
Notwithstanding this fact Mr.. Bry-
an has shown n disposition to look
very favorably upon the candidacy
of Mr.. Wilson for the Democratic
nomination for Presidential least

things about him. The Wilson
supporters accuse the Harmon peo'
pie with the responsibility of the
springing of this letter at this time
10 prejudice Mr.. Bryan and his
friends against Mr.. Wilson in his
candidacy for the presidential nom
ination, and while Mr.. Joline dis
claims any personal interest in the
several aspirants for the nomina
ton, Governor Harmon is sup
posed to be his preference. Whesh
er Mr.. Bryan will take any notice
of the letter remains to be seen,
but it is remarked that ut the big
Democratic gathering and banqns

ELECTRICAL DEVICE FOR
THAwING WATER PIPES

The great winter problem for those
o: us who live in the northland is
the thawing of frozen water pipes.
Try as we will, every now and then
old Jack Frost will steal a march on
us and when we wake up in the
morning the water pipes will be
frozen tight. Applications Of hot
water may remove the ice in the
pipe IL IL happens To be located IN a
place where the water can be APP
piled without removing the plaster
and spelling the wood work. Once
In n while n hot hatiron will do the
trick, but often enough, the frost
will have a grip on the pipe in a
place where fiatirons cannot be APP
piled. Holding lighted lamp nm
der the frozen part has been known
TO work, but 1t is just as apt to sci
the house afire. 1t remained for an
electrical genius to rig up a small
portable transformer for thawing
frozen water pipes. This little dew.
Ice is connected to the afflicted pipe
and the current turned on. In few
minutes the pipe begins to get ex-
ceedingly warm and the ice melts
away. The device will work no
matter where the pipes are frozen

gentleman from Wisconsin Mr..
BergerJ said the average wage in
this country in the year 1910 was
