On the evening of the same day
Secretary Bryan was the principal
speaker at Jefferson day dinner at
Harrisburg by Democratic club
there. Here he paid a high tribute
to President Wilson for helping to
remove the notion that the Democrat
ic party is a rabble and for showing
that it is not party of panic. He
said it was popular to be Democrat
now, even Bryan Democrat. In a
semihumorons vein he referred to the
Progressives and asked what need for
their party If the Democrats made
good with their reforms, saying that
If the Progressives stand for principle
they must come into the Democratic
party. But he declared that the Pro-
gressiyes deserved credit for the fight
they made last year, and he congratu-
lated them for the help they had Civ

And wreathe while being slain.
Press on brave ones, and falter not,
Until the end is gained.

Will thin appreciate your worth.

HERE you ARE, YOUNG MEN!
SOME FREE ADVICE

Denver, May 23.-Henry NJ. Teller,
ex-U. S. senator, "the grand old man
of Colorado" who is celebrating his
eighty-third birthday today, gives the
following advice to young men:
Don't drink. Whisky is the curse
of the nation. Don't smoke. It is
costly to health and pocketbook.
Marry early, if you can, but late if
not early. Bachelors are an abom-
nation. They are of noreal value to
the community"
At the time of his retirement in
1909 Teller had been in public life
more than 40 years.

Mr.. Robinson added earnestly: cat
the present time her selection is
hampered and limited by the fact
that she has to seek a good provider
as well as a good father. This has
done great deal to injure the quality

her to that choice, no matter how

How One Pastor Built Church.


Last winter one of the strong
churches of Los Angeles extended
Rev. w. H. Shelter of Memphis, Tenn,
call to become their pastor, and after
considering all sides of the question
he decided to accept the call, relates
the Christian Herald. So he con
yened his official board, placed before
them his resignation and asked ia
be released. His board being made ~
of tactful business men, and know
ing that their pastor had tried for
years to build new church, request
ed him to hold the resignation in
allegiance for a week, which he did.
Then the board got busy, bought a
new site for church and paid $27,00G
for it and reported to the church the
following Sunday that they would
build a new church on it at once if
their pastor would consent to remain
with them. He wanted another week,
and then said to his church: Il will
stay with you if you will subscribe
$4,000 for the new church at once
They took him at his word, and at
that service subscribed $54 900 for the
new building. Ii goes without say
ing that his church is very happy over
his decision TO stay with them.

STARTING PLACE OF
POULTRY SUCCESS
Harder Job Making Money With
Hens Than Running Grocery
Cleanliness Essential.
CBy f. S. MILLERD

The man who tries to make any
thing out of a poor flock of hens has a
worse job than making bricks without
straw.
The starting place OF success with
poultry is with the man. II you think
anybody can make money with hens
you have something yet to learn 1t
is a harder job than running a grocery
successfully, and thousands OF men
have found out that that is worse
than running for president
After you have found your man, or
developed him out of your own mate
rial, get the right kind of hens. What
are they? The hens you like best, the
hens that are from a laying strain,
the hens that lay white eggs.
Then give them good place to live.
The men who have made go of poul-
try have learned that cleanliness is an
absolute essential. You will have to
learn that too. 1t sounds cheap; but
If you think 1t is, try it single season
Cleanliness is the costliest thing about
the poultry business.
After that, good pure food stands
high. There is an old notion that any
thing is good enough for hen to eat.
1t isn't. Nothing but the best and
purest material ever should be put in
to an egg. There are men who can
tell, or think they can, what kind of
feed hen has had just by the flavor
of the egg she lays.

ton; but it is the poorest kind of
economy to omit the necessary piping
or wiring-accordin to the custom in
the locality--or both in those towns
where both gas and electricity are in
stalled.
But those features which are built
into the house and which form an es-
sential part of the construction or the
finish should never be put off until a
more convenient season. because the
mechanical difficulty and the expense
of adding them later will prevent them
from ever being put in The seat at

The design illustrated herewith is
an excellent example of the small
house equipped with all the attractive
little features which are so much ap-

A desirable feature of this design is
the arrangement of the stair hall sepa-
rated from the rooms of the first floor.
This is the way it should be, in case
it is ever desired to rent a room since
the rooms on the second floor are d.

trance without disturbing anyone on
the first floor.
The economy Of this design may be
seen from the fact that the house has
been built as illustrated, using all first
class materials, for $500 The width
Of the house is % feet, the length %
feet inches. There are three rooms
on the first floor and two rooms on the
second floor, besides bathroom, large
