THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND
EVERYTHING NOW IN READINESS FOR BIG SHOW.
With Davis As Democratt s. Great Performer and "Cal" And His Trick Elephaant, Feature Of Re-publbican's people Will Have No
' Dull Moments During Next Four Months.
(Continued from Page 1) ed gentleman for President as John W. Davis of West Virginia, and the selection of Mr. Davis is particularly gratifying to The Jeffersonian, for he was its choice after Governor Ritchie, and in its last issue said that if delegates were ever released from their instructions and the unit rule they would nominate the West Virginian, and by golly it turned out just that way.
Mr. Davis is the kind of a candidate who needs no platform. His record for distinguished ability in the high places he has filled and his sterling integrity are sufficient.
He is in his 52nd year, graduating from Washington & Lee University when 19 and oft times has received honorary degrees from Washington & Lee and the University of Beryhn (England) and tthe University of Glascow, New York University and Yale College.
MRS. BUSH TELLS OTHER WOMEN
How Pains in Side and Dragging Down Feelings Were Relieved by Lydia E. Pink-ham's Vegetable Compound
Massena,N. Y.—"I had terrible pains in both my sides and a dragging-down feeling that affected me so that I could hardly walk, and I got rundown. A friend who had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advised me to try it and I have taken it with the best results. I do my housework and also some outdoor work on the farm. The Vegetable Compound has given me back my health and I can not praise it enough. I am perfectly willing that you should use these facts if my letter will help other women who still suffer. "—Mrs. Del-BERT Bush, R. F. D. 1, Massena,N.Y. The spirit of helpfulness shown in the letters we are constantly publishing is worthy of notice.
These women know by experience what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do. Your troubles are the same as theirs. Isn't it reasonable to expect the same results?
If you have pains and a dragging-down feeling and are nervous and irritable, profit by Mrs. Bush's experience and give the Compound a trial.
In 1895 he was admitted to the bar and was an assistant professor of law at Washington & Lee University for some years—practicing law in Clarksburg, W. Va., from 1897 to 1913. During this time he was a member of the West Virginia House of delegates and President of the State Bar Association; was twice elected to Congress, where he was a member of the Judiciary Committee, taking a leading part in Congressional debates of that period.
The late President Wilson, who was a great judge of men, picked him out for Solicitor General of the United States, and in this position he represented the Government in all litigation before the Supreme Court, where he was regarded as one of the ablest attorneys in the country and it is said that members of the court stated he was the best equipped lawyer who ever appeared before that body for the Government.
While in office there came a time when real men had to be found to negotiate with Germany on the exchange and treatment of war prisoners, for thousands of American soldiers were entering Prance, going to the front. It was a job requiring great tact as well as ability. President Wilson selected Mr. Davis, and he served in that position with distinction.
While so engaged Walter Hines Page, Ambassador to Great Britain died, and President Wilson was called upon to fill the vacancy; with the great war in full blast and America's interest bound up with England, Prance and Italy, a really great American was needed and the President had no difficulty in finding one in John W. Davis, and there is not a Democrat or Republican whose opinion is worth anything who will say that the President made a mistake.
When the greatest bankers in the United States and probably in the world wanted to secure the services of the greatest attorney they had no difficulty in making a choice—they selected John W. Davis.
Democrats, this is your candidate for President.
Hear him! And then tear up the platform if you will, for his words ringing so true mean so much more that the compromise phrases of political platforms.
After expressing his gratitude to the convention, Mr. Davis said:
"But, grateful as I am of this
BIG BLACK GRIZZLY BEAR, REPORTED 6 OR 7
FEET TALL, PROVES TO BE ONLY CUB
Critter Cornered In Woods On Choate Place, Near Randallstown,
And Shot .By William Triplett—Was Scare Of
Community For Weeks.
From all appearances there are some folks over in the Pikesville-Randallstown section who are eligible for the "Ananias Club."
For weeks foiks throughout the county have been hearing and reading about a giant bear 6 or 7 feet tall scaring children and grown-ups
great honor, I think even more of the duties you have given me to perform. But I take comfort when I look at the banners displayed throughout this hall and reflect that they are not the standards of a phantom army of millions of Democrats ready, as they, always have been, to battle for liberty and righteousness.
"We are a national party and it must be, I believe, because we profess a national creed. The great principles of the Democratic party—honesty in government, that public office is a public trust, equal right to all men and special privilege to none, fair and equal taxation, an open door of opportunity to the humblest citizen in all the land, liberty at home and courage and honor and helpfulness abroad—these principles are as dear to the East as to the West, and revered by the North and by the South.
"And this great army is ready to do battle again to any who Challenge any part of it. On this platform all progressives can stand, to this banner all liberals can rally, and for this cause all Democrats can, and I know will, stand united.
Governor Charles W. Bryan of the great agricultural State of Nebraska, and a brother of the "Commoner" William Jennings Bryan, is the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, and is very strong with the farm vote of the West and Northwest. Like his brother, he is a sterling Democrat of National ability.
With these standard bearers there is no reason why the vote of every Democrat should not be cast for them.
Let the organization of Davis and Bryan clubs throughout Baltimore county begin at once!
The greatest show on earth, touring the country every four years, has pitched its "big top" outside of Davis and Bryan, the great performers, will be seen Cal and his trick elephant and "Hell-an-Maria" Dawes.
nearly to death by its appearance along the roads, but after searches by moonlight, starlight, daylight and stormlight the critter was shot on Thursday night on the place of Edward S. Choate by William Triplett, and insteJ^jjJ^ being the 6 or 7 foot high monster, weighing 400 or 500 pounds as reported, it was but about 4 or 5 feet tall, weighing 150 pounds—yea, a mere cub.
On Thursday evening the group of hunters gathered at the Harrison-ville school house at 6 P. M. and from then until midnight "beat the bushes" for a sight of the bear.
While trudging along the Liberty road about a mile from Harrison-ville one of the party was startled by the rustling of bushes—there was a crashing thump in the road and in the pale moonlight the silhoutte of a bear was plainly visible.
The chase was on—the bear galloped down the Liberty road and at the parsonage of Mt. Paran Presbyterian Church came near colliding with a trackless trolley, after which gliding into the bushes again.
While the hunters were discus-ing ways and means, the bear emerged from the thicket again, jumped over a low, fence and hedgerow and ran dow^i field. The dogs followed, withwie men trailing behind.
So close to the bear did the dogs keep that the men were afraid to fire, for fear of hitting them. On went dogs and bear, the former waiting apparently for an opportunity to spring. At last came the opening they had been looking for. They sprang for the bear's throat and fastened their teeth into the animal.
The bear rolled over on the ground, at the same time trying to beat the dogs off with his paws. But the dogs were so close that the swinging paws were unable to touch them. Then Mr. Yinger fired and wounded the animal.
Still the bear continued to roll over and over, and still the dog hung on. Mr. Triplett crept up to the struggling animals and fired the shot that ended the bear's struggles forever.
Investigation revealed that the bear was a young female weighing about 150 pounds. It is unlikely, the hunters said, that there had been cubs. The men carried their prize to Mr. Choate's front porch and later took it to Harrisonville, where the carcass was deposited in tthe yard of the store of George W. Barry.

Men Were Bound For Pennsylvania Home—Auto Southbound Runs Over One, He Dying From Injuries.
(Continued from Page 1) street, Baltimore, had driven up and placed Matthews in his own machine,-Scott took the license of the Pennsylvania car but failed to note the driver's name.
Both Scott and Matthews are employees of the Telephone Company. Scott was a boarder at the home of Matthews, at 1829 North Montford avenue, Baltimore. They decided to make a motorcycle trip to Scott's Pennsylvania home.
They started out the York Road. All went well until they were five miles beyond Cockeysville. A wet stretch of road was encountered. An automobile was approaching from the opposite direction.
Suddenly the motorcycle skidded and turned over. The approaching machine was almost upon them. Scott was thrown across the road. Matthews was thrown to the left side of the road. He landed directly in the path of the wheels of the automoboile, the wheels passing over his body.
Mr. Warner, who saw the accident from his machine, drew up and placed Matthews in his automobile. Matthews still was conscious. The driver of the Pennsylvania machine ran to the machine of Mr. Warner and asked if he could be of assistance. He was told he could not, as the only thing to be done was to get Matthews to a hospital as quickly as possible. Scott jumped in Mr. Warner's machine and the start for University Hospital was made. Scott meanwhile had made a note of the Pennsylvania license.
Mr. Warner drove to the University Hospital. Matthews lapsed into unconsciousness and died before the hospital was reached.
She shines throughout the mem'ries of my childhood like the' gleam
Of placid summer moonlight on some restless, troubled stream—
My mind recalls the sick-room, where grim phantoms seemed to crawl
From corners near my bed, and leer from patterns on the wall.
I see the doctor's potions 'neath the low-turned, shaded light—
And mother sitting by me through the fittful, fev-rish night.
Her touch was an angel's on my aching, throbbing brow—
It seemed a casual comfort then—a priceless mem'ry now!
And later, in my errant youth, her
love shone forth again And wrapped its glow about me
when I learned the ways of men. The phantoms now that threatened
were not those of fevered brain— They caused her untold anguish, but
her tears were not in vain. 'Twas just aonther sick-spell she
alone could understand— Again she watched me through the
night and held my wayward hand. Oh, bitter days that helped to groove
those wrinkles on her brow! I felt some slight compunction then
—remorse eternal now!
Devotion? Why I think the word was born in realms above
That we might have conception of the depth of Mother-love!
Her role is self-denial from the day that gave us birth—
All hallowed is her mission 'mongst the sordid things of earth.
Through all the ills of Life she sits in holy light subdued
And holds our hand—too oft without one word of gratitude.
Wait not till Life's dim twilight rests upon her silvered brow-r-
If thoughts of love be in your heart, in God's name speak them now!
O! ye sons of living mothers, seek
her out this very day And grant the kiss so long withheld,
and draw her close and say, "Forgive me if I lightly held the
love that guided me In childhood through the storms on
Life's tempestuous sea; And if Success has crowned some
worthy things I aimed to do, I lay the garland at your feet—I
owe it all to you!" Let not it be your woe to kiss a cold
and pallid brow And say, "I never told her this—she
cannot hear me now!"
ACCORDING TO FATHER.
Willie was doing pennance in a corner. Presently he thought aloud pensively.
"I can't help it if I'm not perfect," he sighed. "I never heard of but one perfect boy anyway."
"Who was that?" asked his mother, thinking to point a moral.
"Papa," came the silencing reply, "when he was little."

REAL SHOW AT THE MARYLAND
The best in any line is a matter of opinion. Bert Yorke and Ed Lord are too modest to announce themselves as the best. They are content merely to say that they are probably two of the world's best comedians. Of course, this assertion is in the spirit of jest. It is travesty in keeping with their work They attempt everything, but ac complish nothing. Nothing except to create paroxysms of laughter. In the vernacular of the theatre Yorke and Lord are known as Hokum comedians, but their hokum is an art. If there were such a thing as classic Hokum, that is the kind of hokum these two players offer. There is a
I laugh in every move they make and
every word they utter.
A REAL ONE.
Bystander—-I observe that you treat that gentleman very respectfully.
Garageman—Yes, he's one of our early settlers.
Bystander—Early settler? Why he's not more than forty years of age.
Garageman—That may be true, but he pays his bills on the first of every month.

She gave up mutton, pork and beef,
She gave up ades and teas, She gave up milk without relief,
She gave up beans and peas, . She gave up fruit, and spuds, and jams,
She gave up bread and toast, She gave up herring, shrimp and clams,
She most gave up the ghost. She gave up powder, rouge and men,
She gave up baths and soap. And when she weighed herself again
She wept and gave up hope.

Billy—Pa, haw far can a dog run into the woods?
Byrne—What a foolish question. As far as he wants to, of course.
Billy—No, he can't. He can only run as far as the middle; after that he's running out of the woods.
TOO GOOD TO LAST.
Father—How is it, young man, that I find you kissing my daughter? How is it, I ask you?
Sofa Squeezer—Oh, great! Great!
CONSERVATION IN EXTREMES.
The dying man shook his head tearfully and maintained, "I won't take it, no, Ikey, it tastes awful."
"But, mine dear fren," groaned Ikey, "you can't die and leave all these expensive medicines wasted."
THE COLLECTION INCREASED.
The collections had fallen off bad ly in the colored church and the pastor made a short address before the box was passed.
"I don' want any man to gib mo' dan his share, bredern," he said gently, "but we mus' all gib ercord-in' to what we rightly hab. I say 'rightly hab,' bredern, because we don't want no tainted money in dis box. 'Squire Jones tol' me dat he done miss some chickens dis week. Now if any ob our bredern hab fallen by de wayside in connection wid dose chickens let him stay his hand from de box.
"Now, Deacon Smiff, please pass de box while I watch de signs an' see if dere's any one in dis congregation dat needs me ter wrastle in prayer fer him."
