BRYAN ON PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES. In a recent issue of bls paper, the Commoner, Mr. Bryan makes clear his attitude toward the next national Democratic convention, and in doing so he speaks words of wisdom. He concludes his article as follows: “Democratic platforms should be made and Democratic candidates should be selected with a view to strenghtening the party's position all over the country, not with a view to pleasing any one section or any one element of the party. Let us enter the next convention with an eye single to the party's good, remembering that tue party can advance its interests only by advancing the interests of the country. Let us enter upon the selection of candidates, not with a view of gratifying any man's ambition or of complimenting any state or portion of the Union, but with a desire to select candidates who voice the sentiments of the rank and file of the party and who, if elected, will strenghten the party’s hold upon the country by proving the party deserving of public confidence. If the most available man is a southern man, let our candidate be from the south. If the most available man is a northern man, let him be from the north. If the east presents the most available man. let ; him be from the east. If the west can furnish the most available man, let him be from the west. The real Democrat, from any section, will poll more votes in any other section than one whose democracy is certified to by Wall street, whose iniquities have so aroused the public that even many Republicans are trying to get away from their influence. A Washington dispatch to the New York World says that Joseph B. Kealing. United States district attorney for Indiana, has been working in the south in the interest of Mr. Fairbank's candidacy.

>atch also says that Kealing is under ■ nquiry at Washington for "Pernicious political activity.'' As has been generally known, Kealing for years has been one of Fairbank's managing lieutenants. But it now happens that he is a part of the Rdosevelt administration and Mr. Rdosevelt is decidedly not interestedzfn the Fairbanks ambition, but iZ interested elsewhere. It is quite4ikely that Kealing will have to proceed with caution if he desires tri hold his $5,000-a-year job. Good Manner!. A friend of yours and mine has very justly defined good breeding to be “the result of much good sense, some good

nature and a little self denial for the sake of others, and with a view to obtain the same indulgence from them.” Taking this for granted—as I think it cannot be disputed—it is astonishing to me that anybody who has good sense and good nature can essentially fall in good breeding. As to the modes of it, indeed, they vary according to persons, peaces and circumstances and are only to be acquired by observation and experience, but the substance of it is everywhere and eternally the same. Good manners are to particular societies what good morals are to society in general—their cement and security. And as laws are enacted to enforce goou morals or at least to prevent the ill effects of bad ones, so there are certain rules of civility, universally implied and received, to enforce good manners and punish bad ones.—Chesterfield. Made For Fat Men. One of the narrow arches in the gallery of the chapel at Columbia university is not exactly symmetrical, although the defect is not noticeable to the casual observer. The reason for the widening of the arch after its original construction had rise In a somewhat humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with some difficulty. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people being numbered among the future visitors, decided to widen the arch, sacrificing symmetry and harmony to practical need, as the pier was so constructed as to bear no loss of width on one of its sides.—New York Globe.

Caribou Horns. Not one out of every ten female caribou has horns. When they do have them, they are much smaller than those of the bull. The horns of the female have, however, In general many more branches than those of the bull, and they are much more regularly and finely formed. The cows carry their horns much longer than the bulls. They have been seen with their horns In the month of April. The old bulls shed their horns from the 10th to the last of November. They hardly ever carry them after the month of November. The young bulls shed theirs from the first of December until the middle of February. The younger the animal the longer he retains his horns. Mountain of the Sacred Footprint. Adam's peak, or Mount Samanala. a rugged mountain in the island of Ceylon, is known throughout the orient as the “Mountain of the Sacred Footprint.” In a flat, rocky basin at the foot of this mountain in stone as hard as blue granite there is the perfect imprint of a gigantic human foot, five and one-half feet long by two and one-half feet wide. The Ceylonese Brahmans have a legend to the effect that the imprint was made by Adam, our first parent, but the Buddhists declare that It could have been made by no one but Buddha.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS. Th« Change From tho Era When Wives Were Taken by Force. Marriage customs have changed everywhere with the advance of civilization. Anglo-Saxons in ancient time:;, it is said, used to capture their wives by force from their fathers or their husbands, it did uot matter which. This was before Augustine came to preach Christianity. Then purchase was more common than capture, although the latter seems to have been frequent enough to the reign of Ethelbert to need regulation by law. By this law a man might run away with a woitan, provided he afterward paid her previous owner, be he father or husband, 50 shillings. If it was husband who bad thus been deprived of his wife, the woman's captor had not only to pay him the fine, but also to buy him another wife. In any case the stolen woman belonged to her captor. If a man had purchased his bride in the days of Ethelbert and afterward concluded be had paid too much for her, it was lawful for him to return her to her former owner and claim again the purchase price, provided that he bad not previously expressed satisfaction by making the bride a present on the morning after the wedding. The next step was the “foster lien,’’ when the bride price was paid on the day of espousal and was supposed to compensate the parent for the cost of bringing up bls daughter. It seems, however, that this soon fell into disrepute, as there was no law against the father engaging his daughter to numerous suitors, taking from each the “foster lien’’ and, of course, cheating all but one on the wedding day. which at that time was only the day of betrothal, when the suitor gave a "wed” or pledge for the future performance of his contract. It the suitor did not claim his bride within two years after the wedding day. he forfeited all right to her and to whatever money or goods he had paid for her. If the woman and her father broke their promises, the father had to "give the suitor four times as much as the suitor had already paid him. As civilization advanced the bride price was given to the woman herself and became her dowry, while nowadays the tables are frequently turned, and the bride settles the money on her husband.

LADYLIKE GEOMETRY. Figures of the same shape don’t always have the same style. Figures of the same size never consider themselves equivalent. A straight line is the shortest distance between two millinery openings. A plain figure is one all points of which have been neglected by the dressmaker. A mixed line is a line composing the reception committee of a club's presidential candidate. A broken line is a series of successive straight lines described by a woman alighting from a street car. A straight line determined by two bargain tables is considered as prolonged both ways until the store closes. Women equal to the same thing are not always equal to each other.—Nellie Parker Jones in Chicago Record-Her-ald. A Pointed Prayer. Aunt Dinah had come to see her old mistress, who had just recovered from an illness. ••Yes, Miss Lila. I sho'ly done prayed fer yer to git well all de time, and now yer see how it done turned out.” ‘•Then you believe that your prayers are always answered, Dinah?” •'Sho’ly, sho’ly!” Then, with a sly glance: “Yer see, I neber tempts de Lord, 'case X don't pray fer .nothin’ dat I don't know I'll git. Dr. John, he done tol' me he tort yer was on de recovery road.” After a pause she went on: “Say, Miss Lila, yer know what 1 prayed fer last night?” “No.” “Why, I just p'intedly begged de Lord ter put it into yer heart ter give me dat brown silk dress yer done outgrowed.”—Brooklyn Eagle. In the Matter of Tips. The man who tips the highest gets the best service and the most ostentatious deference. "Give this to the cook,” said a St. Louis parvenu, handing a dollar to the waiter with his order, “and tell him to cook it my way.” “Give this to the cook.” said a scribe at the next table, handing a two dollar bill to the waiter with his order, “and tell him to cook it his own way, for he is a better cook than I am.” We will not be outshone. We will not shrink in any man’s shadow. At the same time the pace is too hot and fast for most of us.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Localized Him. A stranger wishing to play golf at North Berwick saw some one in authority upon tbe matter. “What name?” asked the dignified official in charge. “De Neufeldt,” the stranger replied. “Mon,” said the official in a tone of disgust, “we canna sash oorsels wi’ names like that at North Berwick. Ye’ll stairt in the morn at ten fifteen to the name of Fairgusson.”—Blackwood's Magazine. Progressing. Miss Weston—And have you played much golf, Mr. Jones? Mr. Jones—Well, no; can't say I’ve played much, but I've walked round the links several times in golf clothes, and I’m beginning to understand the language.—lllustrated Bits. The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express —Bacon.

MEMORIAL. Josephine Eddy Garretson was born in Anderson. Indiana, June 28, 1859. and died April 2, 1907, in Boulder, Colorado. Most of her life was spent in Grant county although she passed her later years in Decatur, Adams county. She was the daughter of Rev. O. C. and Jane Garretson, he being a pioneer Methodist minister, and she was a worthy descendant of a godly parentage. Her life was not spent under the gaze of the public, and was one of self denial and sacrifice, but her labors were always likened by a love that was a model of motherly and wifely attachment. Her life interest centered in her home and children. She craved the best in this life and in the life to come for her loved ones, and counted all things light if she could advance their interests toward either. She was the mother of eleven children, ten sons and one daughter. Six sons are yet living to help her sorrowing husband bear the heavy burden of their loss. And while she was truly a model of a loving mother, no one who knows them can say that they have not been loving co-workers with her. Death broke a happy family circle when the tired mother's soul took its flight from those cold Colorado mountains to bask in the warm sunlight of the presence she had known and felt through her busy helpful life. She was married to Edwin Brushwilier In March. 1884. and their union (as has been said) was singularly ideal. At a very early age she was converted in the Olive Branch M. E. church, and was shortly after enrolled as a member of that denomination for which her father labored so long and faithfully. She loved the church of her choice and no spirit of lukewarmness in defending its principles or upholding its teachings ever found place with her.

It is hard in an obituary to refrain from saying things which have often been said before but in all truth and soberness let it be said of this our sister that she was no ordinary woman. A blessed follower of Christ was she. one who loved peace and strove after it, who spoke no evil of her neighbor nor listened to it. With sound assurance we can say, “She hath done what she could." "Her children shall rise up and call her blessed." And, "Her husband also praiseth her.” "Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates." Funeral services were conducted April 9, 1907, at the M. E. church. Matthews. Rev. Reeve officiating. o NOTICE FOR BIDS. Notice is hereby given that the Common Council of the city of Decatur.
