much better and be happier and
more kind if he feels he has your
sympathy and cooperation.
To dream about the other man is
more than a waste of time because
it does you positive injury. You are

thing in your life and blocks the
way to the happiness which might

You must not forget the blessing
your child is to you. If she were

alone was enough to make you
happy. Enjoy her while you have
her with you. Time will pass
quickly and she will be a grown
girl and some man will take her
away from you. Do not be blind to
the blessings you have.

tue, popular in this Pollyanna-ish

which the Latin equivalent is jo-
Gus; the French joie; and the Eng
lish joy.
From jocus came the Armonican
prince, Jodocus, belonging to a
family which migrated from
Wales. He refused the sovereign
ty of Brittany and became a hermit
in Ponthien, where he is now re-
membered as st. jesse. The fem
mine of his name, Jodoca, is still
popular in Wales. England formed
from it Jocosa, which straightway
became Joyce.

Your Liberty Bonds.

In these days Of uncertainty governmel
nds are becoming an increasingly attfacti'
vsstment The treasury department puts Il
ssstion up to the. people in the followir
no and timely statement:
The United States government bor-
rowed money from you to finance the
var. You hold the governments prom
ise to nay you back. This promise is
called q Liberty bond or Victory note.
On this bond is stated the conditions
under which the government borrowed
tho money from you.
For instance: II you hold bond Of
the third Liberty loan, it states that on
April Is and October of each year until
maturity, you will receive interest on
the amount you paid for the bond. 9th
er issues bear other rates Of interest and
other maturity dates, all of which are
clearly stated on the bond.
Now, IL you keep your bond until the
date when the government pays you in
full for 1t. you do not need to worry If.
in the meantime, the price il low one
day or high the next. You and Uncle
Sam are living up to your agreement
with each other, and neither will lose
by it
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty bond now, you will find that the
man you sell it to will not give you a
dollar for every dollar you paid for it.
The price has been brought down because
SO many people are offering to sell their
bonds. II the market is flooded with to-
matoes, you can buy them cheap, but if
everyone is clamoring for tomatoes and
there are few to be had. the price goes
up The same is true Of Liberty bonds.
short-sighted people are dumping them
on the market. and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of Liberty bond is this:
Hold the bond you bought during the
war; it is as safe and sound as the
United States government itself.
Buy as many more at the present
low rate as you can afford. If you hold
them to maturity, you are bound to
make the difference between what they
sell at now and their face value. You
will also receive good interest on your
investment.
Hold on to your Liberty bonds and
buy more.

lS76-June Is, nominated for presi-

convention at Cincinnati.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes nom
nation for president in 1876 over
James G. Blaine, Roscoe Conkling
and Oliver P. Morton took the coun-
try by surprise almost as much as
the earlier nominations of Polk and
Pierce. Yet the defeat of the IA
voriteS in the race was quite in
keeping with custom.
All parties for generation had
shown tendency to prefer the less
known over the better-known candi-
dates Fremont, the first Repub-
lican nominee, had almost no politi-
cal record. Grant had none at all,
and Lincoln was nominated over
Seward only because he had the
shorter record.
The convention system always
tends toward what James Parton
described as 1.-The exquisite economy
of nature, which ever strives to get
into each place the smallest man
that can fill it." 1t simply missed
its calculation in Lincoln. Hayes
also proved to be rather more of a
man than the politicians expected
him to be-
Hayes had a geographical advan-
tage, and the map is unduly impor-
tant in our politics. All the presi-
dents that the Republicans have
elected since Lincoln, who was also
born in the Ohio valley, have been
Ohioans by birth, excepting only
Roosevelt. And it is unlikely that
he ever would have been nominated
for the presidency if death had not
promoted him to it in the first
place.
Another consideration favored
Hayes. Just as the old Democratic
party, when it was under the domi-
nation of the south, used to rOmin-
ate northern men with southern
principles the Republican party,
as it became the representative of
the business interests, resorted to
the strategy of nominating western
men with eastern principles.
,, Hayes was transplanted Con-
necticut Yankee, whose people mi
grated westward by way of YER
mont. BY the accident of birth he
was an Ohioan, but in blood, in
temperament and in thought he was
wholly a New Englander, a
straight-laced Puritan in character
and scholar in tastes
Like Jackson before him, he was
posthumous child, having been
born 10 weeks after his fathers
death. But a rich bachelor uncle,
Sardis Birchard, became a father to
the fatherless boy, sent him to col
lege in Ohio and tothe Harvard law
school, and finally leaving him his
house and fortune two years before
the nephew's nomination for presi-
dent.
This. then, is no story of a run
