Where Is Bryan?
“By the way, what has become of
one William Jennings Bryan, of
j whom we used to hear occasionally in
times gone by? We have with us
Teddy Roosevelt, Bryan’s champion
: satelite on the political firmament;
i yes, even the lesser luminary, Wil
j Howard Taft, is occasionally heard
of. „ But Bryan, w r here is Bryan?”—
Red Wing Eagle,
j Where is Bryan? Bryan is here,
there, everywhere, talking as only
Bryan can talk, electrifying the pat
riotic heart of the nation, thundering
I anathemas against old John Barley
; corn, sledge hammering for the right
1 of women to the ballot, championing
| evergood cause, battling against
wrong and oppression wherever they
1 exist and exemplifying in his life the
principles of right living and right
thinking.
There is no limit to Bryan’s influ
ence and power. Twice has he nom
inated and elected Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States. He
it was who decreed that United
States Senators should be elected by
a vote of the people instead of by
the legislatures. He it was who but
recently gave the people the right to
make prohibition and woman suff
rage a part of the fundamental law
of the land.
In a short time Bryan will come to
Minnesota and aid in purging the
State of the liquor demon, and pa
pers like the Eagle will tremble at
his coming. “Where is Bryan?” As
well might one ask, where is the sa
vior of the world? —Fairmont, Minn.

Hints on Preservation
Of the Piano
But a few words are necessary to
a good housekeeper. Dust is very
injurious, as it will seriously inter
fere with the working of the action
and hammers, and, if allowed to set
i tie upon the felt of the hammers,will
| in time produce a harshness of tone.
I When sweeping or dusting is being
j done, it is, therefore, imperative to
close the piano. A piano, whether
in use or not, should be open a good
part of the time, otherwise the keys
will turn yellow.
Extreme heat or cold should be
carefully guarded against, as either
may seriously injure an instrument.
Never let the sun shine on the piano,
I as it will blister and turn the color

of the varnish. These defects can
not be remedied unless the piano is
scraped and revarnished. which
would necessitate a heavy expense.
Dampness may cause the strings
and other metal parts to rust. If
possible, it is better that a piano
should stand against an inside wall.
Moths have been known to nearly
ruin a piano, unobserved. A piece of
camphor placed in one corner, and
renewed occasionally, will effectually
prevent trouble from this source.
Tuning is of the greatest import
ance. A poor or incompetent tuner
may inflict great damage upon the
best built piano. From two to three
tunings a year should keep an in
strument in nearly perfect condition.

The Old Lady Talks
(By Edith Barnard Delano, of The
Vigilantes.)
The Old Lady had been to hear a
visiting Red Cross speaker; when she
i came in, she sat down in the chair
near the door and looked at her dau
ghter-in-law. Tears were in her eyes
and her lips were trembling. Mrs.
William spoke.
“Why, Mother,” she said, “what’s
the matter? Which is it this time,
joy or disaster?”
The Old Lady smiled through her
tears. “It’s joy,” she said. “I’ve
been getting a little glimpse of sal
vation, and it —it kinder shakes me,
just at first. I want to stand up and
shout the news of it up and down
the land, or sing it in words that
would go down through the ages like
the words old Simeon said. But I’m
just an old woman, and all I can do
is to cry for gladness.”
Mary’s eyes filled, too, at the sight
of the Old Lady’s emotion. “It
must be mighty good news, Mother,”
she said.
“Child, you don’t know how good.
You can’t. You’re too young, even if
you have got a boy over there in the
trenches. It takes old folks like me,
that can remember. It takes old
folks like me that have seen all the
courage and the fight and the glad
ness of being alive taken out o’ folks,
and I’ve seen worse than that, too —
suffering that was willing to starve
and go cold rather than come to
what it thought was shame— the
shame of being a burden to others;
and I’ve seen kindness and charity
that was all right for them that gave,
but just poisonous to the souls of
them that took it. I been thinking
more’n a little about what would
happen when the boys came home
from this war without hands and
without feet, and blinded. I been
picturing to myself how the women
folks would be that glad to have ’em
back again in any way that they’d
slave for them and ,pet them up and
do everything for ’em except help
’em to be men. I can remember how
things were after the Civil War,
Mary; oh, I can remember—many a
tale could I tell about that. Well.
I saw the Clapp boy made into a man
after being made into a soldier; I
know there’s thousands like him.
And I been worrying and laying
awake thinking what was to become
of all those fine boys when they
come home maimed and crippled. I
And Mary—
“ Mary! W'hat you think I heard
today? There’s folks beside me that
have given thought to all that. They
are ready for ’em—ready for the I
maimed and the crippled and the I
blinded. No charity, no being bur
dens for our boys, when this war is
won. They’re going to give ’em
hands made of wood and wire and
what not that’ll do anything the av
i erage hand can do, and feet they can
I walk with, and teach them trades — |
teach them not only to go on being |
men and soldiers, Mary, but give I
them the very trades they’ve always
hankered to learn, or the ones they;
can best make a living at. Many a j
lad that was in the wrong job before
he went to war will find himself i
with the very thing he loves best of- j
fered to him, and taught to him, and {
a job open to him, no matter how
crippled you’d think he was. Oh, it’s •
the most wonderful thing I ever |
knew of, Mary.
“I been thinking what it’ll mean ;
to folks all over the country when
they hear this good news. What
w-ill it mean to a mother, say, whose
i son wasn’t so awful much of a work
er, maybe, and who has lost a leg or
a hand in the war, to have the boy
come home not a cripple, not a care,
not a poor discouraged piece of a
man, but full of interest in the thing
he has been taught how to do, knovv
ing himself capable of earning a liv
ing and having as good a life as any
other man, and with all that won
derful army training in doing good
for others and keeping clean and be
ing goodnatured when things go
wrong, and all that? What’ll it
mean to the mothers and the w-ives
and the sweethearts?
“You remember how God blessed
Abraham, because he was willing to
make the greatest sacrifice he could
think of? Wei!, it came to me as I
was walking home that something
like that has come to pass now. Our
boys have gone over there willing to
make the greatest sacrifice they can
think of, jtist for what they think
iis right, not for what will benefit
them. Some of them will be permit
ted to make it. Some will be brou
ght back from the altar like Isaac
was. But they’ll be blessed. God
spoke to Abraham through the an
gel, and He’s speaking now through
men and women; and I think what
He’s saying must be something like
this: ‘You have offered me your
bodies for your souls’ sakes; I will
provide w-ays through which your
souls shall conuuer your bodies. You
shall not be cripples, but —conquer-
ors!’ ”
o
My Letter To Him
(By Edna H. McCoy, of Vigilantes.)
Now this is the letter I write him,
While my heart is sick with dread;
“You are just where you should be,
my son,
Standing staunch, where your du
ty led.
“At home we are well and happy.
And cheerful and proud of our boy.
In this war of the World —laddie—
A soldier son is a joy!
“Your father struts, just a little.
And ‘sis’ wears your pin all the
while,
While I—well, the star on your Ser
vice Flag,
! Brings to my lips a smile.”
And I write the little nothings.
Of home, that are much, when
away,
’ The funny things that have happened
Throughout my homely day.
i Then I go and sit by a window.
And look to the rising sun,
! Where “over seas” —in the trenches,
j He will fight till the victory’s won.
| Then, going back to my letter,
j With tear-wet eyes I sign:
j “With dear love from your mother,
Who is glad her boy’s in line.”

A SCORE OF REASONS
FOR THE RED CROSS
it Is Playing a Big Part in the
War for Democracy.
What does it mean to you to know
tfiat your America Red Cross:
Is supporting 50,000 French children.
Sends supplies to 3,423 French mill*
tary hospitals.
Provides 2,000 French hospitals wttll
surgical dressings.
Is operating SO canteens at the front
line.
Is operating six other canteens at
French railway junctions, serving
30,000 French soldiers a day.
Operates a movable hospital In four
units acco'mmodating 1,000 men.
Is operating a children’s refuge in one
part of the war zone, ahd in another
a medical center and traveling dis
pensary, both capable of accotniuo
dating more than 2,000 children.
Has opened a long chain of ware
houses stocked with hospital sup
plies, food, soldiers’ comforts, to
bacco, blankets, etc., all the way
from the seaboard to the Swiss
frontier.
Has warehouse capacity for 100,000
tons.
Has 400 motor cars and operates seven
garages, making all repairs.
Has shipped 46 freight car loads of
assorted supplies to Italy from
France within two weeks after It
began operating in the former coun
try.
Had a battery of motor ambulances
at the Piave front four days after
the United States declared war on
Austria.
Started a hundred different activities
in Italy at the time that nation was
in its most critical condition.
Has established five hospitals in Eng
land and operates a workshop for
hospital supplies employing 2,000
women.
And that 120,000 cases of supplies
been' received* af the Paris
headquarters of the American Red
Cross from your various chapters
scattered throughout the United
States.
What does all this mean to yont
And I have told you but a fraction of
the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. It means that without
this ceaseless, heroic work of the
American Red Cross, we could never
win this war.
Without your Red Cross thousands
in Rumania would have starved to
death.
Without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port of the United States tu the hour
of need. ,
Without your Red Cross thousands
of French soldiers now gallantly fight
ing for you at the front would have
died of wounds, exposure and lack of
food.
But now we must all redouble our
efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross
because —a million mothers’ sons are
going to carry the stars and stripes
to the greatest victory God has ever
given to men fighting* for honor and
liberty.
With the help of your Red
your boy will win.
