LaFollette's swing around the circle making speeches in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana, have convinced the managers of his campaign of this according to newspaper interviews with them, The Wisconsin Senator did not have a single day of auspicious weather on the ten-day trip. At Youngstown, 0., there was a snow- storm. Throughout the rest of the Ohio itinerary there was rain. In Michigan the weather was cold. On the first day of the Illinois and In- diana trip, the temperature down went to eight degrees below zero and hovered around the zero mark throughout. Notwithstanding these conditions crowds greeted the Senator at every stop and many of these stops were in the open air, without indoor meet- ings. One of the most remarkable events of the trip took place at Green, O. The party was aboard an interurban electric car and no stop had been scheduled for that location. The townspeople learned what time the car would pass through and four hundred men and women were standing at the side of the track. Several of them - took a determined stand on:the track and the car was forced to stop.

John Hannan, Senator LaFollet- te’s secretary, and a familiar figure at the national capital. “They have and their minds on public issues. | “These meetings are taking place, a dispassionate period of educational publicity. having partaken more of the nature of a political revival than of politi- cal meetings in the ordinary sense. | “I have been with Senator LaFol- lette in every campaign he has been in for the last fifteen years and these metings in Ohio, Michigan and Il1- linois have egualed They are remarkable in in atténdance, | enthusiasm and conceiMrated atten- tion of the audiences, any he ever experienced in Wisconsin even in the heat of his many campaigns there.” A Modern Type. They are usually of a willful fair ness, with flesh kept firm by the mas- 8euse; their brows are lowering, and there is the perpetual-hint of hard- ness in their faces; their -apparel is exceedingly good, but thelr manners are ungentle, their voices harsh and discontented; there is no light in their eyes, no charm or softness il thelr Dresence. They are fitting mates, per- haps, for the able-bodled pagans who are overrunning the earth, but hard- ly suitable nurses for a- generation which must redeem us from material- ism, if indeed we are to be redeemed.

A New York woman of great beauty called one day upon a friend, bringing with her her 1l-year-old daughter, who gives promise of becoming as great a beauty as her mother. B It chanced that the callers were shown into a room where the friends had been receiving a milliner, and there were several beautiful hats Iy Ing about. During the conversation the little girl amused.herself by ex- amining the milliner's creations. Of the number that she tried on she seemed particularly pleased with & large black affair which set off her light hair charmingly, Turning to her mother, the little girl sald: “I look just like you now, moth: er, don't 1?” £ “Sh!” cautioned the mother,. with uplifted finger. “Don’t be vain, dear.*— Lippincott’s. their eyes on their elected officials - HER DINING ROOM FURNITURE How the Kind-Hearted and Gifted Rosa Bonheur Helped a Young Wife. “We are not brothers for nothing,” Rosa Bonheur once wrote in jesting affection to her brother Isidore; and in truth the wonderful, quaint, boyish : little woman, with her bright eyes, cropped curls and breezy ways, was almost more a brotherly chum than & sister to the "Dodore” whom she so dearly loved.” Much of the time. on | her country estate, in her studio and among her animals, wild and tame, | she wore the masculine costume ‘which her manner of lifé required, to wear which she had—with one other ‘woman, a famous explorer and arche- ologist—received express permission from the French government. Yet this very mannish little person was far from unwomanly in her sympa- thies; and her latest blography re- | cords a pretty incident related by her friend, Joseph Verdier, the landscape painter. “One evening she was dining with me and some friends. Among the | friends was a young lady recently mar- ried, who gave us an account of the furnishing of her house. _All the rooms were furnished except tha din- ing room; for this last her husbdnd could not yet give her the money, and she was compelled to hold her little re- ceptions in her sleeping room. “After dinner Rosa asked me for a large sheet of drawing paper, and while we were talking. she sketched 2 delightful hunting scene, which she signed with her full name. Then, un- der cover of a general conversation on music, while tea was being served, she approached the young wite, and. said to her: “‘Take this picture to Tedeaco on your return to Paris and he will give you at least 1,500 francs for it. . . . Then you will be able to furnish’ your dining room.’ "—Youth’s Companion. WAS VERY HARD TO PLEASE Broker’s Wife Would Appear to Be One of Most Unreasonable of Wom A prominent broker remarked the other day that he thought his wife was the hardest woman to please in the world. She was always asking him for money when he had none. “John,” she would say, “give me 47 cent grocery boy is here with a bil “1 can’t glve you 47 cents,” he would “but here’s half a dollar.” “Oh, you're the funniest man. You never have the right change.” A dozen times & day she would -ask for a few odd pennies. Finally the broker went into the sub-treasury and obtained $100. worth of bright new pennies. There were 10,000 ‘pennies and he packed them in a sult case and lugged them home. Then he went to a blacksmith shop and had an irom tripod made, and upon this he hung the suit case filed with pennies. ° The next day the butcher came with his bill. It amounted to $5.67. “John,” sald the wife, “give me $5.67.¥. “Yotr will find it on the tripod,” he explain- | ed. The wife returned in a moment in & great rage. ‘Why, John,” she cried, “I'm not going to count out 567 pen- nies for this man; I'd be ashamed. It's & wonder you can mnever have the right change.” SRS Outlook for Peace. “Sclentists tell us that the séR gradually - cutting the continents away.” e “That being the case, I suppose the | time will come when there won't be any land. left above the water.” “It ‘would seem 80.” ““Peace may -some day -be_estab- | lished after alL* There is Only One “Bromo That Is Alwsys. nqlognl!.l;mu ull ni Laxative Broma - USED -THE WORLD OVER TO OURE A.0OLD Quinine” Qui .’ Bruce and the -Spider. “Apparently the little fireside story about Bguce and t’ e spider is in the category of fables.

LIFE INSURANGE GOMPANIES Health Conditions. «An .examiningsphysician for_one of the promin€ntdife insurance com- panies, in- an interview on the sub- ject, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many appli- cants for insurance are rejected 'is becaute kidney trouble-is so common to the American people, and the large majority of applicants do not even suspect, that they have the disease. He states that judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who" are constantly in di- rect touch with the public, there is one preparatién that has probably been more succeessful in relieving and curing these diseases than any remedy known. The mild and heal- ing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the ‘highest for. its remarkable record of cures. We find that Swamp-Root is strict- ly an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it a trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bot- tles of two sizes—fifty cents and one dollar. However, if you wish first to test -its wonderful ferits, send to Dr. Kil- mer & Co., Binghamton, N.
