Bryan had the lion’s share of attention here among a long list of speakers at the three sessions of the Trans-Mississippi Congress.

Shaw for Wider Foreign Trade. Secretary Shaw, who spoke particu larly for a wider foreign market for United States goods, made this declara tion: “If this country ever develops international merchants it will accom plish it by granting them encourage ment. not alone by dredging harbors and deepening channels, but by insur ing them a merchant marine in which to carry, under the most favorable terms, the products of our farms, our mines, our forests and our factories. • * ♦ Secretary Boot has gone a step further than I propose to go in favor of a merchant marine, lie com mits himself to the ship subsidy idea. I do not say that I am in favor of anything that will secure a merchant a ship subsidy, but I will say that I am in favor of anything that will se cure a merchant marine for the Unit ed States.” Big Crowd Greets Bryan.

While the following instance may be entirely fictitious, it has a moral that should be taken to heart by thousands of middle aged people who nave somehow become inocul ated with the emigration fever and are bound to repeat their pioneer experiences, at the time when most of the elasticity, push and per severence of youth have been lost. A farmer well past middle age, who had worked hard and had, with the assistance of an equally industrious wife accumulated a nice compet ence and who owned the old home farm free from debt, grew restless as a result of reading too many al luring real estate advertisements and after talking it over with his wife decided that they would list the farm for sale with the local real estate agent. Accordingly they had him come and look the farm over with a view to bringing out its strong points in an attractive adver tisement. When the catalogue of the farm’s merits was completed, including its fertile soil, unfailing Meats Beef Veal, Mut to n , Pork, Lamb, Chickens, Ducks. Geese, Rabbit, Fish, Sau .ages and Home cured Smoked meats of all kinds Spec ialties Fresh Lobster, Clams, Blue Points, Squabs. Cysters Direct from Baltimore supply of pure water, comfortable house, commodious barn and out buildings, abundant shade and fruit ful orchard, the owner leaned back in his chair, raised his spectacles and asked the agent to read the ad vertisement over, that he and his wife might hear how it sounded. When the reading was done the old ma a was lost in thought for a min ute and then said: “Waal, Martha, that’s jest the kind of a farm we’ve been looking for all these years, and I guess we’d better stay right here and save the expense of moving.” The decision the farmer made was a wise one, and his example could be followed with profit by hundreds who get the moving fever and yet who would in nine cases out of ten be more contented in the old home than in any they might make in a strange land. —A teacher in explaining the different kinds of sentences to her class, asked what it would be if she said, “I am looking for a man.” “I don’t know,” said the boy, “but I guess it would be the truth.”
