It's start on the non-stop trip last ( night was one of the features of the show and its trip lasting a week will be watched all over the country. In the meantime the advertising that Decatur gets therefrom helps considerable. The Clover Deaf continues silent on the subject of so much interest to this vicinity—the replacing of the two trains recently taken off. It is time some concerted action is taken by our business men and others so seriously affected. If they only knew it, the company can't afford their present action any more than can the towns and country affected.

Lie is net now and does not intend I to be a candidate for president this ! year. He says: “I am not a candidate for any office and what I say now ' ought to be accepted. I honestly be- < Ileved in previous campaigns that II would poll the largest vote of any man ■ in the field, but 1 believe now that , I there are others w'ho can poll more I votes than I can and 1 can work more earnestly for them than for myself." This is a frank and manly statement and settles any possible question as to his position with respect to the 1912 nomination. But Mr. Bryan de clares that, although he will not be a candidate, he is not out of politics, and he "feels that he can render effective service to his party and the ' I. , , people as a private citizen. When the days are cold and dreary. | and raging tempests blew, and ait j She world seems weary of storm and I drifting snow; when old Professor ; Sleetist is cutting up quite bad, then ■ home life is the sweetest, and we! should all be glad. I like to hear the | roaring of storm fiends on the hoof; J ' like to hear the pouring of rain upon ■ the roof; for then I pull my rocker be-i fore the gaudy fire, and read a shilling i shocker or mix things with my lyre. > Around me happy faces are in the fire- j light’s glow; we talk of friends and! places and days of long ago; and as the storm grows rougher, we breathe a heartfelt sigh for any homeless duffer beneath that bitter sky. Our spirits are not drooping because of winter’s snows; with talk and song and whooping the pleasant evening goes And so we sit together, in happiness immersed, and say to wintry weather: "Go to it —do your worst!’’ —Walt Mason.
