cEo. .. PRExrIcE.

When George d. Prentice arrived in
Louisville, it was not a. a brilliant
young journalist, looking for position
in which 10 shine, but as q drunken
loafer, utterly uncertain about a place
in which TO sleep. In this condition
he met and made friends with a fellow
who was as near tramp as any that
existed in that day, and who was
known as = "strolling tinker" or trav-
cling mender Of tin pots. They made
. day Of it, 70 the extent Of the funds
they both had, and such credit as they
could get, at the risk Of boots applied
TO their coat tails. Night came on,
and George d. Prentice bewailed his
lavish and open drinking which left
him without tho means TO get q bed.
The tinker said, with the lordly hospl-
tality Of a very tipsy man: You
shall 60 home with me-"
George assented 10 his "comerlonger-
me, and arm in arm tkuy started for
their "homo." The man seemed to
know where he was going, and soon
reached an Obscure street, not far from
the Ohio river. He paused at shed,
let down a bar, and again mumbled out
his word, which could be divided In
ome-erlong-'er-me." Then he at
once rolled over the bar, aud fell into
some straw, Prentice following. There
was some small squeals and some loud
and angry grunts, as Of disturbed
swine.
Prentice shook his friend, who was
already asleep, and said " See here,
is this your homer'
Yes, stree" said the sleepy tinker.
at sounds and smells like a hog
pen" said the halfsobered Prentice.
"What er that-they'll have to stand
it." said the fellow, who then went to
sleep.
Prentice was still too drunk to know
how to get out again, but he lay and
thought. His thoughts were: "Here

good parents, and well brought up. /

According to an old tradition, the
crescent, the emblem Of the Turkish
Empire, was adopted by tho Turks
after the conquest at Constantinople,
In 1853, and derived from q Byzantine
symbol, which may be traced back to
the time Of Philip Of Macedonia. Thus
tho story Is told by Tristrin dc Saint
Amaht in 1914, and II il corroborated
BY the fact that the crescent occurs fre.
quently on the Byzantine coins. Never.
theleAa, the attitude which the Turks
generally assumed toward anything
Greeks nixtlre Of utter indifference
and contemptuous hatred made it very
unlikely that they ever should have
adopted byzantine symbol for their
emblem, and when, in the iirst half of
this century, Turkish Language, litera-
ture and history began TO be studied
carefully for the chronological purposes,
il was found out that the crescent had
been in use among the Turks more than
one century before their conquest at
Constantinople. IL was then generally
supposed that the Turkish emblem had
its origin from Islamism, and had been
adopted by the Turks when they en-
braced Mohammedanism, though the
original banner used by Mahommed-
the curtain covering the entrance to
Alseba's door or-shows no crescent, and
though II seemed little singular that
Mohammod should have selected one of
the celestial bodies for his emblem.

boans, who are Jealous worshippers Of
the celestial signs. The obscurity which
surrounded this curious subject has
now been dispelled by Daniah sayant,

shows that the crescent is an original
Turkish symbol. Also other peculiari-
ties Of Turkish life, as for instance. the
dance Of the Dervishes, he proves to
be not genuine elements Of Islamisrn,
or derivations from tho Greek civiliza-
tion, but fragments Of the old religious
system Of the Tartars and practiced by
the Turks long before they became
Mohammedans, and while they still
were living together with Firms, va
moots, etc, on the other side Of the
Altai mountains.

weMES IN BATTLE.

Mrs. Leroux, widow Of Lieutenant
in the Forty eighth Regiment, British
army, has just died in England at the
age Of ss. From the passage OF the
Douro. May 12, ls09-she was then
only I9-till the battle Of Salamanca,
July %, 1912, she was the constant
companion Of her husband in Spain.
An English paper recalls the fact that
Senator Gordon's wife was with him
constantly during the civil war that in
the Burmese war Of 1926 three young
and handsome native women Of rank,
who were supposed 70 DO gifted with
supernatural powers, 30 that no bullet
could wound them, rode among the lev.
les encouraging them to fight against
the English and how, on almost every
battle field, the corpse Of woman II TO
l'e found among tho slain. Sergeant
Major Cotton, in his Voice from Wa
terloo,' says that there were many fe-
males found among the dead, and that
all of them wore male attire, and were
known 10 have been as martial in their
l'earing and courageous as the ordinary
rank and file. Just at the moment
when Shaw, the life-guarisman, fell
mortally wounded, "after having killed
nine of his steel-clad opponents" n
French officer, whose horse had been
shot under him, seized the regimentaI
colors Of the Thifty-second foot, which
were carried by Lieut.. Belcher. A
struggle ensued, and the Frenehman
endeayorod to draw his sword, when he
was wounded in the breast by tho thrust
Of halbert, and was Immediately after
shot dead by soldier named Lacey. II
was in vain that Major Toole exclaimed
when it was too late "save that brave
fellow and after the battle tho gener-
ous Major and Colonel Brown discover
ed that the French hussar officer whom
Lacey had shot was an exceedingly
handsome young lady.

NATIONAL GRANGE.

In its early history, and when ii was
in its manhood; the agricultural editor
strove persistensSy for reforms in the
National and State oranges which were
necessary for its life and stability. But
the oligarchy had the power and the
purse in their hands, and the result is
now visible everywhere. Having done
our duty we feel our conscience clear,
but mourn over tho wreck of the order
and the loss of many who lisked too
much in the organization. At too late
day many good men in the order are
now clamoring for reform. The Ma
tional grange meets at Richmond, Va,
on the third Wednesday in November,
but it is not probable that Iowa will be
represented at this or any ether future
session of the National grange. And
as our State grange will be delinquent
for two or three years ldues, it is not
presumed our officers win again receive
the annual P. w. So that the end
draweth nigh. And this is the result
Of having dishonest. selfish and tyran,
nical rulers in high position. They
have strutted their brief day, filled
their pockets with ill-gotten gains, and
have retired to the obscurity which
they should never have been drawn
from. --Des Holmes Register.

U. s. SENATE CHAMBER,


A few days since gentleman from

Sheridan and brought mp large guam
tity Of wheat stored in the warehouse
at that place. On Wednesday he or.
dered his wheat taken to Oregon City,
by the narrow gauge railroad, but the
managers refused to take it unless il
went through to Portland. Mr.. Pol
lard refused to agree to such terms, and
in few hours had hired one hundred
teams Of tho farmers in the neighbor.
hood to haul the wheat to McMinnyille.
Soon the teams gathered in and sur
rounded the warehouse, which was
locked against them; sufficient force
having arrived the door was forced
open, and the railroad men were driven
away and thirty teams loaded with
wheat and started for McAIinnville.
AT this juncture a compromise was
effected, and the narrow gauge loaded
up the remaining wheat and bore il
away to its destination. Il has been
some time since such determined Of
fort to bulldoze community by cor,
poration has been resorted to, and the
result is what every fair-minded person
would have desired. The lively inter
est displayed by the people of Sheri
dan and vicinity in the matter, shows
that they do not intend being enslavec
or subjugated SO early in the action.

True WORDS.

Hon. E. w. Keyes, of Madison,
Wis, said in speech recently that he
knew farmers whose reapers were never
housed, whose tools were left where
last used, whose yards were carpeted
with the manure that had rotted for
years; whose cattle were sheltered from
the wintry blasts only by gnawing
holes in straw stacks whose front
yards were ornamented. not with lawn
and shade trees, but with pig troughs
and cobs. Perhaps these sturdy sons
of toll attributed their bad luck to the
tariff; to some bloated monopoly OF
the contraction of currency or the
high rates of interest; never dreaming
that the same waste and carelessness
manifested by them would bring to
poverty the men engaged in other bust
ness.
