MT. Bryan. Biichter of Issues

MT Bryan has never ceeded in strengthening any issue. A stronger man would probably have made the silver twentT years ago. Undoubtedly very large major ity of the people of this country for free silver To them free silver meant money, and there then apparently not enough money. A more astute and better informed leader than MT. Bryan might have kept up the illusion until after the cleo tion but Mir. Bryan. by his discussion of the free silver question, did perhaps dispel the illusion than accomplished by the activities of Mark Hanna. MT. Bryan honestly believed that what the country needed more money. created by the stroke of a pen and necessarily representative real wealth.
 He will have . still easier task of convincing people of this country. by opposing that issue that it is necessary to bc prepared for We hope, however, that woman suffrage and prohibition may not be made to the bghting effect of his advocacy

street car conductor With good nature a man can run four blocks for a train that proves to be two hours late and can enjoy telling the incident for a week. Without good nature, man will reach a station fif-een minutes early and try to sue the railroad com pany because he had to wait for the gates to open. Trying to endure the complications of modern life without good nature is like trying to run an au- tomobile without lubricating oil. The result in heat, noise, sorrow and dis aster.
 Good -natured men are more valuable than statesmen to the world. A good natured man can go through mob of ten thousand people and make less trouble about it than an ill-humored man can make all by himself in a church. If it were not for the good natured men who lose there would be no fun in winning baseball games, bill Hard tournaments, track meets, golf matches and political bets. If it were not for good -natured men, there would be no amateur theatricals, concerts or art exhibitions, and half the babies in the world would meet violent deaths while exercising their lungs.
 Good nature is a precious boon to huma nity, but it is much abused. There is too much of it for one thing. It should be rarer and used with less eX- travagance. Good nature is responsible for bad street car service, long ser mons, thieving politicians, taXicabs that run mile and a half in the same spot, short-Weight coal dealers, trust maSnates, preAdamite humor on the stage, hobble skirts, waste basket hats. detachable hair and an-eating auto mobiles.

GOOD NATURE

Good nature is a combined strength and weakness of mind which enables a man to endure placidly a scolding wife
 an aching tooth, a late train, a thievish office holder, q chronic hope and in sulting ticket agent, small boy who has just asked his 1.111th question, an automobile suffering from muIishness and the telephone in all it's phases and conditions.
 Good nature is the breeding ground of laughter, the guardian of friendship
 the lubricant of smooth running fami- lies, the solace of fat men, the anaes- thetic of misfortune and the curse of
 republics. With good nature man can
 endure hard work. enjoy large family
 forget an insurgent corn and enjoy the
 Jokes of Moses. Without good nature
 man can possess twenty million dol lars and get apoplexy because he has been short changed five certs by a

When 1 have ceased to rant and rave, and all my earthly days are spent, I pray you place not on my grave large and gaudy monument. All ostentation's doubly vain, when on this world we've closed our eyes: give me a slab. with legend plain
 Beneath this board your uncle lies '' For If I've cut some grass on earth, I'll need no marble to proclaim the story of my sterling worth, or to perpetuate my fame. And if I am false alarm, not worth the room l occupy, no towering shaft can add charm to my bum record, when I die. How foolish look the gents who sleep beneath all kinds of sculptured rocks who were considered passing cheap, before we placed each in his box. How foolish is all such parade, such pomp amid the graveyard gOrse. A hundred dollar saddle laid upon a fifteen dollar horse, When I have jumped this mundane realm, and journeyed OCT the silent sea, a three foot slab of slippery elm is plenty good enough for me.

 Bilkins, the scholarly editor of the Plum Hollow Bugle. Recently in his journal he said:
 Tt gives us great pleasure to com- mend the graceful poems of Miss Ann Matilda Jones, of this city She is poetess of high order as wit ness her late efforts printed in our columns Since she has been among us she has wooed the muses with signal sweetness and success. If she goes on with her work, as we eX- tDect. she will soon rival the "SW eet Singer of Michigan" of blessed mem
 ory; and we shouldn't wonder if Kip | ling would like to claim a few of i her best lines or at least make liberal excerpts from them if he is not too far away
 William Dean Towels, in Harper s once said that his skill as prose writer is due to his early practice in 1 English verse building. No doubt this l is true for good poetry demands careful selection of the best words,

See the vast assemblage of women. There must be fully five thousand of them.
 Yes. there are easily five thousand.
 It is an annual convention, and women have come from all parts of the United States to attend it.
 Do they seem to be having pret- ty lively time? They do. They are holding the annual election, and it IS a matter of vast moment whether MT. Henry Gunfodder of Pittsburg, Pa. or Mrs. J. Clarence Swat, of Bridgeport, Conn, is chosen prest- dent.
 By the way. what is the name of the organization of which these five thousand women are members? Is it a body of earnest workers in great and unselfish cause?
 No, not precisely. Not so that you could notice it.
 It is the Daughters of the American Munition Makers of 1915. It is con sidered a great, a very great honor to belong to it.-Puck.
