nothing else but. His friends say the
only magazines he reads are two
which review current events. To save
his time and eyesight, secretaries en-
ployed by him scan the newspapers
and mark articles which they believe
he may care to read. These articles
are almost invariably political. Pack

may seem, the Nebraska law still
prohibits prize fighting, but it per-
mits licensed boxing bouts, per cent
of the gate receipts going to the
State commission, and the result is
boxers still box for purses.
All that is known of Nimrod is he
was a mighty hunter before the Lord.
This much is conceded of Gov. Bryan.
He is a mighty hunter. On his last
springs annual duck hunt in north
ern Nebraska, his companions testi-
fly, he brought down three ducks with
three successive shots from his pump
gun, just as they were coming down
to decoys.
Good Revolver Shot.
He is equally good as revolver
shot. AS a member of the Tecumseh
Squirrel Club last Fall he brought
down his share with a revolver while
others were using % rifles. This
club had a skull cap made of squirrels
killed by Gov. Bryan, to be presented
to him with suitable ceremonies. He
is accustomed to the skull cap habit
as result of nervous ailment
which is intensified by artificial light
or sunlight. The cap habit is not
on account of desire to conceal
lack of hair upon his massive head.
He got his love of open-air sports
in his career as a farmer. He's a
real farmer.
On the morning following his noti-
fication he was found in his Office
at the capitol in company with
Charles E. Hull of Salem, Ill, mer-
chant, banker and former member of
the Illinois Legislature, neighbor and
boyhood friend, who came to attend
the notification. There is a story
about a bull that played some part
in his young life on the farm near
Salem. AS the story is told, this
bull had gored and killed two driving
horses owned by young Bryan and
had injured two others. Young
Bryan was wrought up. He borrowed
a meat saw from a butcher. tied the
bull by the head to a manger in a
log stable and, while several men
tremblingly watched from the hay
loft, the youth sprang astride the
animal, got firm hold with his legs
and while holding on to its neck
with one arm sawed off-no, not it's
head, but its horns. 1t was the first
record of dehorning in Illinois. Bryan
had been told dehorning would kill
the animal

"I'1l leave it to Mr.. Hull if it is not

dental Nominee.
BY JOHN NJ. THOMPSON.

Gov Charles Wayland Bryan of
Nebraska, Democratic candidate for
Vice President, has achieved much
political fame and is probably as
widely known as the average man
who aspires to that office. He is
known as student of politics-part-
ly as a result of the great files of
index cards which he started COM
riling long ago. giving data on Re-
publicanS as well as Democrats.
In spite of any handicap that may
have come to him as result of haV-
ing q distinguished brother to over
shaG1w his individuality, Gov. Bryan
now stands with the foremost poll
ticians of the land. He is before the
American people and we see him on
the occasion of his notification with
uplifted hand solemnly accepting and
pledging that every ability l can
exercise shall be with an eye single
to the material, moral and spiritual
welfare of my country and country
men,"
Every candidate for Vice President
Is potential President.
Looks Up Constitution.
Gov. Bryan had scarcely been nomi-
mated for an Office that is often re-
ferred to as the, fifth wheel in the
governmental wagon when his pri-
somewhat obscure provisions of the
Federal Constitution relating to the
possibilities of d failure of the cleo
toral college to choose a President
and the Senate being called upon to
select a Vice President who would
act as President in the event of a
deadlock in the House of Representa-
tives over the choice of a President
Looking backward, it is seen that
when Gov. Bryan was a humble sales
man. selling soap, fiavoring extracts,
baking powder, or as a broker at
tempting to break the tobacco trust,
his brother, William Jennings Bryan,
was setting the prairies afire with
his eloquence as a candidate for
President.
In Lincoln, where people know
Gov. Bryan, no sympathy is wasted
on him because of the possibility of
his having been overwhelmed by the
majesty of big brother. 1t can't
be done.
Likes Race and n Bout.
of battle Gov. Bryan has at least
three hobbies. They are boxing
hunting and horse racing. AS a
youth in Illinois he once won an
amateur contest with the gloves on.
He taught his son to box for the
seif-reliance it gives and for the
lessons in the principles of give and
take. The governor never misses a
state boxing bout of any consequence.
Under the Nebraska law, which con-
centrates power in the governor, he
is the legal head of the State boxing
commission. which licenses and regu-
lates boxing and wrestling. He re-
CeiveS all reputable boxers and is
eager to let them know he has prac-

Sheer Summer Frocks
for Bridesmaids or Ball

Whether for bridesmaid frock or q
summer dance or dinner dress, there 10
no more satisfactory model than one Of
chiffon or georgette, and in practically
every Collection of models created for
resort wear one sees these sheer, 6lmy
frocks conspicuously featured.
Many are Of printed chiffon, and
they range In design from small con-
ventional patterns to huge floral effects
In multitude of colors. Very little In
the way of trimming appears, although
an occasional frock reveals the delight
full possibilities Of combining cream OF
black lace with chiffon.
Frocks of pastel-colored chiffon with
a contrasting note introduced In q
flower or spray of leaves are lovely,
while the most delightful effects are
achieved by combining three different
tones OF a single shade. In graduations
Of pink, violet, green and yellow they
are especially attractive.
This season much Is done with tiny
bias folds of the material. form Of
decoration that lends Itself to smart
and novel effects. Tiny bias folds ans
arranged to simulate little collar and
to finish sleeves which are scarcely
more than shoulder coverings.

THE REWARD

The individual banker should be
much more than mere lender OF
money, much more than q mere col
lector of interest. More than any
man in his community. he has the op-
portunity to guide the farmer along
lines of safe progress and toward
substantial achievement. The banker
in an agricultural district must know
agriculture II he Is to loan money to
farmers and upon agricultural secur-
ity. In addition to that. the banker
is in touch with the activities of the
business world. He has correspond
ent banks in the larger cities; he
must, Of necessity for the protection
of his own business, look beyond the
horizon of his immediate vicinity In
order to foresee imminent changes In
business conditions. The banker has
the opportunity to be the point Of
contact between the farmer and these
many other activities Of the business
world with which the farmers bust
ness ID so closely connected. The
hsld u wide, the opportunity i great,
the reward Of confidence Of ones
patrons and neighbors-Eained BY
service In their behalf-is worth the

Ribbon Counters Full
of Charming Patterns

Once one had to hunt for the ribbon
counter, says fashion writer in the
New York Times. Now one walks be-
tween huge walls and pyramids Of rib
bon. The magic word "French" at
taches to great assortment of rib
bons that are displayed in many of the
important shops and are seen as one
Of the decorative details on some Of
the latest summer frocks. Moire, In
black, white and all the colors, a rib
bon having a brilliant sheen, is one Of
the newest and most popular. An alb
solute novelty Is metal mOire. This IL

beauty in ribbons. in bright gold and
silver, with the weave distinctly and
gracefully watermarked
Some of the handsomest of these
have one side of plain gilt, the other

moire antique or 'moire" was known.
These luscious ornate ribbons cost Q
pretty penny and are to be had In any
width. Their richness Of quality makes
them most suitable sash-*ide, as they
are introduced In girdles, bands, vests
and in numberless other ways in some

These various items can be ar
ranged in tabulated form, and the
figures indicating the amounts In
volved placed opposite. each item. A
copy Of this credit statement should
be preserved for use in making out
next years statement, and also for
purposes Of comparison when two
yearly statements have been compiled.
This comparison will give the farmer
an idea as to how his business is
going. 1t will be in the nature of an
inventory, and will furnish abundant
food for thought. II the practice is
persisted in for a series Of years it
will be OF untold value to the farmer
in studying the business management
Of his farm.
Business men ind 1t absolutely nee
essary to take inventory and prepare
financial statements. Such practice
has not been SO general with the
!! farmer. Here lies an open door Of
opportunity. The financial statement
is the first step toward reliable farm
accounting. Once the farmer gets
started in making statements 1t will
stimulate him to keep more records,
to study more closely and minutely
his business and to ascertain the
sources Of his profits as well as the
factors that make up his expenses.
When these are known ways will be
suggested as to how to increase re-
ceipts and reduce expenses. There are
both satisfaction and profit In follow
ing up from year to year these credit
statements and the farm records that
necessarily go with them.

STRAIGHT TALKS

Isn't it dreadful about poor Mrs.
Fuller, Aunt Emmy!" exclaimed
Molly. "That company she bought
those bonds in has failed and she has
lost nearly every cent she had"
'Do you know how 1t happened" 7"
asked Aunt Emmy. "She got q let
ter from some so-called Investment
house she knew nothing about. She
answered it and they sent plausible
young man to her and he persuaded
her that the company he was selling
bonds for was a seventh wonder.
The carelessness of some people is
really criminal. Mrs. Fuller might
have gone to her bank, asked for re-
liable information and saved her
money. Amy bank has or can get the
facts about business concerns show

sympathetic Molly.
That's another thing 1t is unwise
to do" replied Aunt Emmy. 1T is
always foolish to carry all your eggs
in one basket. Now II she had put
only part Of her money in those bonds
instead Of all she had, she could have
stood the loss. AS 1t is there is no
telling what straits the poor little
woman has got herself into. Like
every one else Mrs. Fuller was too
greatly tempted by the promise of a
high rate Of interest on her invest
ment. Her extreme ignorance of
finance coupled with the desire for
high interest caused all her trouble.
There are few things more dan
gerous than thinking you can do
something you know nothing about as
we'll as somebody who knows all
about it. How foolish that sounds

"Man goeth to his long home, and
the mourners go about the Streets"
And Jesus said: "Blessed are they
that mourn, for they shall be comfort
ed" AH
There comes a time when those who
have lived and compapied together in
the close union Of friendship, or the
closer union of kinship, or the still
closer union of married life are sepa-
rated from one another.
The end of the union, SO far as its
earthly enjoyment is concerned, has
come. The hand that was warm is
cold, the eye that was bright is dulled,
the heart that beat with affection g
power is stilled. The one who was
present is departed, as, through the
long ages past, all before are departed.
"Man goeth to his long home, with
its life of infinite duration so differ.
ent from that which is ours on earth.
"Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care,
The life that hath no ending.
The fearless life is there.n
But because of the separation and
parting, "the mourners go about the
Streets" treading the same paths
moving over the same round of life as
Of old. with it's cares and duties, but
with heaviness and sorrow at heart
craving
ga touch of the vanished hand
And the sound of the voice that is
| stilled.''
And Jesus said: BLESSED are they
that mourn, for they shall be comfort
ed" Who would grieve for the loss
of that which, in possession, was not
an object of love and source and
cause of happiness and gcodf The very
grief is evidence that the being whom
"the Lord gave" and whose compan
rionship was enjoyed was means OF
good, and in the memories Of that past
enjoyment there is comfort. Is there
rot!
But the forward and onward look has
more Of comfort than the backward
Anticipation of that which is to be has
more of comfort, more of heart-reviv'
ing power than even the memory OF
what has been; for the separation has
come about because "the Lord who
gave, hath taken away" Taken from
the home on earth to the home beyond
where the unions of time shall be the
reunions of eternity.
On earth g last and brightest morning
All the graves their dead restore;
Father, sister, child and mother meet
once more
Oh, then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore,
What knitting severed friendships up
Where partings are no more.
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
