Wm. J. Bryan and the
 Nebraska Governorship

mop up with evvery boddy Tn the race. Met don t evven ask s-reealizing that Char ley is wearing groueh bigger than a cuv- vered waggin; all he asks Willyum J. to do is not to get out his Snickersnee and slip the same into his carcass while he ant looking.
 So evvery boddy out heer is wunderrlng what Willyum J. is going to do about 1t. With Charley rapt up in five or six layers of intense gloom and just about as cheerful and entertaining as peevish persun with the toothache, riting biting and sarcastick things in the Commonur, the demmycratic party of Neebrasker is in state of perfect hal1nelny and about as peeceful- and lov- abull as one could expect of session of Villa, Karranzer, Zappattur and Huerter, all locked pin the same room.
 So far Willyum J. has remained silint, which is an attribute not strickly speaking Il habit of his. Willyum J. does not as rule remain silint. In fact he has a tendensy in the opposite directsion. He IS in short one of the most successful, un-silint states men at large
 But cn the Neebrasker question Will lyum J. up to this riting IS continuing him. self with a spell of watchful waiting and contrary to all his preevius records -exsept on the Mexcon stuasion-is making about as much noise as muffled stump. Charley has been running round the state, but does n t seem to attract attension. The gen nerel ;nturrust of the peepul--it is plain is not directed at Charley. Charley has abo It the sa N' drawing power as porrus plaster trying to raise blistur on a bill- yard ball. All eyes air on Willyum J., who seereenly continews to slip out of Wash ingtun evvery Saturday afturnoon and hand out to perspiring and enthewsias- tick Nawth Carolina audience line of per- fectly good gossip about the "Prinse of Peecep and the Making of Man. by one of them, at flat prise of $250 and one- half thei'' gate
 If the Neebrasker situasion is worry ing Willyum j. he bears up under the strain with marvelus fortitude. Out of town for week end only to return Monday or Tewsday with a bundle of green boys big enuff to choke an elifant is pleasure to the Secretary soothing in his old age, and seems to be compinsating him for polytical honurs he failed to annex amazingly. An expression frum him on the Neebrasker situation would not only mess up sum- boldly, but theere is absolutely no mummy in it. If he praised Met, Charley would let out yelp that would shake the Com monur bilding frum turret to sellur. If he took a nosion to kick Met in the slats, all Met s friends would get soar as a boil, and stop theere subscription at onse.
 So the Secreterv will probabully contint himself with raking in a few sheekels to be used as ammunision against the rav- wages of the well known wolf at the door tiziness and maintain the posison of "what's the Guvvernorship between trends, so long as don t want it myself?" Which we submit is both iudisia and fillosofficaL
 Hoping you air the same,
 Yours troolv

TT 1INKON, Neebrasker-Mistur Eddi-
 A tur: We decided we would lite for ts.eA9 while in Nebrasker but we al reddy regret it. Nebrasker is compaira- lively new country, and can boast of but one grate acheevemint, and part of her don t seem to carry on enny spesially ovver that, and that was the contribusion to the Nashion of Wilyum Jenny Bryan, Aunty- Gold Bug, Aunty- y-Inperielist, Aunty-Sa- loon Leegueist, three times the nomminee of the denmycratick party for president, and all .he. time cannydate for the nomina- sion, edditur of the Communer, which is comnuner out heer than it is in the east; Sccretery of State, Chitawker Lecturer and Keeper of the Privvy Keys, and the Dove of Peese. Nebrasker don't evven claim all \ the honur for that acheevemint; she admits that Illynoise furnished the raw material. So far a vote of thanks to Illynoise for sed raw material inscribed on platinum and inlaid with gold signed by the Guvvernor and uther State offisials has not been maid. Ii may be that in the rush of polyticks and uther things Neebrasker has ovver looked this simple act of curtesey, that certainly under the circumstances seems to be cum- ming to nlynoise I say it may be, but in enny event they have resisted the temta- sion to do so with remarkabull fortitude.
 Neebrasker demmocrasy is rite at this time in the throws of a bittur polytlcal con- test Nebrasller demmocrasy also insists that they can settle this little scrap all amung themselves, and while they admit that when they get 1t settled the scenery IS likely to be messed up with soar and 7 byly disgruntled demmycrats, that will be all rite and all the rest of the country has to do is to set back and watch perfectly lovely ruff house.
 eE-.@- There air sum seventeen or thurty flaw Jve1ite suns cut heer, who have taken sud 7 den and violent fansy to the Guvvernor- ship. Whenever a favverite sun takes a fansy to the Guvvernorship it is usually fatul. Amung the number is one Richard Lee Metcalf, perfectly good demmycrat, who has stood by Bryan that is the ''peer- less one'-thro thick and thin, mostly thin, for yeers and yeers. Mir. Metcalf is plum honnest about wanting to be Guvvernor. All he wants Bill Bryan to do is to keep hands off while he pulls all the tail feeth- (urs out of the rest of he favverite suns But that is the rub Metcalf and Willyum J.
 air good frends-fine. Metcalf used to rite edditorials for the Communer harpooning Predatory Weelth, Gold Bugs and Imper- rielists with trenshent pen dipped in wit rollic and forked litening. The way he would knock the hide off the backs of Will Iyum J.'s enemies and then calmly pore / pepper sauce ovver sed backs to add to the gayity of the occasion was plum causion. He rose hyer and hyer in the estimasion of the sed Willyum J., who always instintly recognizes friend of the peepul's in the persun of enny one who proclaims him It, i. and his enemies as job-lot of Wall Street 7 hvwaymen, and tools of the Inturrusts. So well up in Willyum J.'s estimasion did Metcalf climb that he attracted the atten- sion of one Charley Bryan, who has not on

would he could newer rise above the dis tincksion of being Willyum J. $ bruther There air sum folks mean enuff to assurt thhat Charley's reel size mite compare fav- abully with wart on dill pickle in polyticks weer Willyum Us reputasion lost site of.
 However, Charley, it is sed, has for long time had his eagul eye on the Guv- vernorship of Neebrasker. It is still there, but frum prcssint indicasion that's about

 Charley, cause both have had the same am bision, and Metcalf seems to have a chanse to put his oyver while Charley has nun at all This naturally makes Charley plum cheerful and blessed. They do say that if Willyum J. would cum cleen with Met, and repay him sum of those polytica obliga- sions in his hour of neeed that Met would

FAT MEN UNPOPULAR NOW

The slim figure is in the ascendancy. Even the
great of the earth cannot afford altogether to dis
regard the dictates of the fashion which DEGREES.
that all men and all women shall present to the
world the outlines OF spare severity, says the
London Saturday Review The kaiser and Mr..
Taft have both found it necessary to go in for a
process of weight reduction 1t would be inter
esting if some student of manners would trace
with precision the process whereby what thinking
people call "embonpoint' came into general dis
credit. Fat is now regarded as indiscretion,
and almost a crime. Only the very strong
minded dare to be fat at all, and there are few
indeed who glory in corpulence
There were some ages, indeed, when few were
in position to cast a stone at the plump man.
The eighteenth century, especially seemed to run
to oYernourishment. Ruminative repletion is the
prevailing expression in the portraits Of the
period; and the majestic swagger of corpulence
is visible in the rolling periods of Gibbon Burke
Johnson and the rest, not excluding theologians
Their eloquence seems early dinners; their satire
suggests the twinges of govt.
The tradition lasted well into the nineteenth
century. Dickens nearly always treated the fat
man-at least the benevolent fat man-with af-
fectiOnate respect. His Pickwick and Cheerybles
seem to reflect the convictions that stoutness is
not only natural but a rather laudable condi-
ton for the elderly. And when Tony Weller de-
clared that width and wisdom go together" he
was merely condensing into an epigram the very
common English idea that native sagacitv was to

SEED OF STRONG VITALITY
Some of Most Injurious Weeds Have
Been Introduced and Spread by
Use of Cheap Blends.
By A F. WOODS, Dean of Minnesota

(By A. F. WOODS, Dean of Minnesota
Agricultural College,
Assuming that every care has been
taken to get seed well adapted to the
conditions of culture, it is still i'm
portant to see that the seed is Of
good vitality and capable of producing
strong, vigorous plants. Great waste
of land and labor results every year
from the use of seed of low vitality.
Poor seed cannot produce coed
plants, and poor plants give poor re-
turns or none at all. Seed should al
ways be tested before planting, and
seed of low vitality rejected. Some
of this poor seed is introduced to
blend with good seed so that it can
be sold at lower price. Some of
the worst weeds have been introduced
and spread in this way. The loss
from weeds and the cost of fighting
them is great and is so well under
stood as to need no discussion.
Farmers often buy cheap seed think
ing that they are saving money, when,
as matter Of fact, they are paying
two or three times as much for the
small amount of good seed obtained
as they would pay had they bought
good seed in the first place at twice
the rate per pound paid for the poor
seed.

Good Cheer Aids
Digestion OF Food
Dpspepfics Can Make the Rest OF
the Family Happy by Using
q Ld1otfpe- Tonic.

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend so
much on the good digestion Of each
individual present that the experiences
of some former dyspeptics who over
came their trouble should be of inter
est to those now suffering in this
way.
The best advice one can giye-but it
is advice that is seldom heeded-is to
eat slowly and masticate each mouth
full carefully. However, if slow eating
and careful mastication fail the next
aid is one close to nature, DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is
an excellent digestant, and IN addition
to helping in the digestion of the food,
acts gently on the liver and bowels,
Kidding them of the accumulation of
waste that should long ago have been
ant-tasting, and results are guaran-
teed.
Maj S. Martin, of Joplin, Mo-, now
II, thinks Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
has helped him to a longer and hap
pier life. He has not felt so good in
years as he has since taking this ex-
cellent medicine, and in spite of his
II years he says he feels like boy.
1t is the ideal remedy for indiges-
ton, no matter how severe; constipa-
ton. no matter how chronic, bilious
ness, headaches, gas on the stomach,
drowsiness after eating and similar
annoyances.

PlMPLES ALL OVER FACE

1413 E. Genessee Ave, Saginaw,
Mich.-"Cuticura Soap and Ointment
cured me of a very bad disease of the
face without leaving scar. Pimples
broke out all over my face, red and
large. They festered and came to a
head They itched and burned and
caused me to scratch them and make
sores. They said they were seed
warts At night l was restless from
itching. When the barber would
shave me my face would bleed terri
bly,. Then scabs would form after
wards, then they would drop off and
the so-called seed warts would come
back again. They were on my face
for about nine months and the trou-
BILE caused Disagreement while it
lasted.
Zone day I read in the paper Of the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I re-
ceived a free sample of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and it was SO much
value to me that l bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment at the drug store. I used
both according to directions. In about
ten days my face began to heal up.
My face is now clear of the warts and
not a scar is left" (Signed) Leroy
