~-FAMILIES A GENERATION AGO. Seemed to Think More of Real Essen- tials to Happiness. It isn’t often that a mother goes back to the threshold of her own mar- ried life for the benefit of her own children. When she does she may tell them that “Wher I married your father he made $12 a week and he did not have any nest egg in the bank. He had been taking care of his moth: er and sister and the marriage of yout aunt made our union possible. We had hardly a stick of furniture at the start, and it almost seemed as thoug® you three older children were babies all together.” But somehow these little families of a generation or so ago managed, for they loved each other. They worked and they did not have the foolish ideas about keeping up appear- ances that play such an important part and work such havoc in homes to-day. If the mother is the kind that is not ashamed of the simplicity and per- haps poverty of her early beginnings as a matron, she will endeavor to im- press ideas of economy and truth upon her girls and also the paramount one that money is not essential to happi- aess but that the love of a good man and a quiet place called home are.— Chicago Journal. THE #INISHING TOUCH NEEDED. Kind Words of Farm Hand to Brilliant Young Artist. The late Henry Harland, author of “The Cardinal’s Snuffbox” and other graceful stories, was once recounting, at the Authors’ club in New York, his experiences as editor of the famous Yellow Book.” Mr. Harland praised Aubrey Beards- ley, “Though only a boy of twenty-one or ,”’ he said, “Beardsley was as clever in the editorial as in the con- trtbuting capacity. He was, indeed, practically the art editor of the ‘Yel- low Book.’ “I was fond of him. I once took a three days’ walking trip with him. He sketched, of course, on the walk. He made a number of sketches in oil col- ors. And they were very artistic and shaggy. “A farm hand watched Beardsley finishing a particularly shaggy sketch one afternoon and said encouragingly: “My lad, that won’t be a bad ple- ture after it’s been sandpapered down a bit.” How to Stop Gossip. There are two words, simple enough fa themselves, that introduce untold trouble into the world and are re sponsible for more gossip, scandal and harm than any other two words in the English language. These twe little words are nothing more tham “They say.’’ They have done more to ruin reputations than any other thing. If you never quote what “they say,” you may be quite certain you are not a gossip. But if you find your self telling your friends at all times what “they say,” and at the same time lifting your eyebro’ and shaking your head, you may rest assured you are saying something the world would be better for not hearing.—Exchange. Disraeli’s Picturesque Metaphor. Few men had a richer talent for vivid picturesque metaphor than Dis- raeli. Often, no doubt, it was bizarre, and sometimes even tawdry, but it sel- dom descended to the cheap. And what could be more vivid than the figure by which he pictured one of the Gladstonian Ministries: “The Min- isters remind me of one of these ma- rine landscapes not very unusual on the coast of South America. You be- hold a range of exhausted volcanoes. Not a flame flickers on a single pallid crest. But the situation is still dan- gerous. There are occasional earth- quakes, and ever and anon the dark rumbling of the sea.” Narrow Escapes of Soldiers. Two tales of narrow escapes at Lucknow during the Indian mutiny: “Col. May told us many thrilling incf- dents of the siege, which brought the scene more vividly before one. He brought out a wall, against which he told me he was sitting one day, when suddenly a rout shot struck the wall between his legs. This, however, is not to be compared with the escape of a trooper in the relief force, who had his saddle de8troyed under him by a blind shell which passed between his thigh and the horse's back, he him- self and his horse remaining unin- jured.” Ammonia For Mosquito Bites. In hot climates, where mosquitoes atound, it is usual to carry a tiny, pot- tle of ammonia in the pocket, Wiilebh ig fitted with a little is point on the stopper, and, as soof¥'@s the ene- my has worked his wicke@-vidl, the bottle is produced and a dro of the liquid is applied to the spot. The same beneficial effect is found from treating the stings of midges with am- monia, and it is useful to know of a harmless and effectual remedy for their aggravating attentions, which often cause serious blood poisoning. Costly Supervision Necessary. The United States government wil spend a whole million if necessary te investigate the causes and correct an error in any ef its financial depart- ments, even if no more than a cent is involved. And it could not safely do otherwise. It must dispel every sug- gestion of laxness in discipline, and to admit an error would be simply an {invitation and a hint for open month- ed crooks to make meney through TRAGEDY OF THE Few Minutes’ Exposure te Intense Cold Is Fatal. Klondike river is fed by numerous soda springs and even the winter's cold fails to close them entirely. Walking on the edge of the ice near the shore, a miner one day slipped into six inches of water. In a mo ment he was out and hastening to the brush hard by to light a fire before his feet froze. Rapidly he cut a few fragments of wood with his heavy pocket knife. But the unalighted match dropped from his already chill- ed fingers. for he had rashly removed his mittens in order to use the knife with more freedom. Then he lighted a second and a third, and finally sev- eral at one time, but either his haste or perhaps a sigh of the air caused them to fall to the snow. All this time the frost was seizing his limbs, his body, his heart, his mind. He turned to the fatal mittens, which he never should have taken off, but his already frozen fingers could only lift them from the ice where they had fallen, and after a vain attempt he hurled them from him and _ strove once again to light a last match. But it was too late. DON’T WAIT TOO LONG. Time to Show Good Will and Sym- pathy Is Right Now. Too many people keep the flowers they have plucked for you until the day of your funeral. Their songs of praise are not heard until your pro- cession is passing’ their door. The mantle of charity does not become public property until put in use by the preacher who conducts the “last sad rites.” If a man has flowers for me, I want them while I am on earth and can smell their fragrance. They will do me no good sitting at the head of my coffin. The grass that is kept green about my last resting place will be of little avail to me on the other shore. Here is where I need the flowers and the smiles and the praise, not over there. If the fellow who is going round to the house after I am gone to see “if he can be of any help” will come round to-morrow, I can tell him how he can be a whole lot of help. Carry your flowers to the living and sing your songs of praise at the dinner table. Don't wait for the funeral—Liverpool (Hng.) Mer eury. eitaew is Hew to Tell Generous Hueband.

Stanton of International Falls as judge of the Fifteenth judicial district to fill the vacancy Caused by the resignation of Judge Marshall <A. Spooner of Bemidji. The appointment gives general satisfaction, although the people of Itasca county would be better pleased had Attorney A. L. Thwing been named for the place. Mr. Bryan’s Opinion. The plan of guaranteed bank de- posits has probably found favor, among all classes of people and _irre- spective of political affilation, more rapidly than any other public ques- tion. The new state of Oklahoma has already enacted alaw taxing state banks, the fund thus accumulated to be used in paying the depositors of any state bank that from any cause becomes unable to meet its obliga- tions. A special session of the Kan- sas legislature has been called for the pur- pose ef enacting legislation similar to the Oklahoma plan. The governor of Nebraska is considering the advisability of callinga special session of the legislature on account of the growing belief among the people that protection tobank depositors in the form of state or federal guarantees of their deposits will stop the hoarding of money, bring into circulation sufficient currency to conduct the business of the country, and prevent a recur- rence of such disastrous panics as the one through which we are now passing. Mr. Bryan has been an advocate of a law guaranteeing deposits in state and national banks since 1893. The legislature of Ohio has adopted a joint resolution inviting Mr. Bryan to address its membersin joint ses- sion February 18, 1908, on the subject of Guaranteed Bank Deposits. Mr. Bryan, in discussing the tariff question, insists that residents of the United States should be permitted to buy home-made goods at home at aslow a price asthe foreigner can buy American-made goods aboard. He also insist that our government should be by and for the people as a whole, rather than by and forthe trusts, and administered in the interest of a few beneficiaries of the trust system. He believes that national legisla- tion for the purpose of better regulation and control of interstate commerce and common carriers should supplement; state legiglation, and not be a substitute for stste legislation. Mr. Bryan’s paper, The Commoner reflects his opinions each week on questions of pub- lic importance and in its columns mayjalso be found his magazine articles, public speeches, addresses and lectures, which fare referred to in the daily press from:day to day, If you are interested in political questions, if you desire to keep in touch with the pro- gress of the campagin and to read Mr, Bryan's campaign speeches send sixty cents to The Commoner, and the paper will be sent to youeach week until the close ofthe next presicential campaign.
