Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1894-11-08

No hectic flush. No one can drink Of
that healthy fountain and keep faint
hearted or faint headed. He whose
foot touches that pavement becometh
an athlete The first kiss of that sum-
mer air will take the wrinkles from
the old mans cheek. Amid the multi
tude of songsters, not one diseased
throat. The first flash of the throne
will scatter the darkness of those
who were born blind. See, the
lame man leaps as hart, and the
dumb sing. From that bath of infinite
delight we shall step forth, our weari-
ness forgotten. Who are those radiant
ones? Why, that one had his jaw shot
off at fredericksburg; that one lost
his eyes in powder blast; that one
had his back broken by fall from the
ships halyards; that one died of gan
creme in the hospital. No more pain.
Sure enough, here is Robert Hall, who
never before saw a well day, and Ed
ward Payson, whose body was ever
torn of distress, and Richard Baxter,
who passed through untold physical
torture. All well. No more pain.
Here, too, are the Thcban legion, a
great host of G,666 put to the sworo for
Christ's sake. No distortion on their
countcnances No fires to hurt them,
or floods to drown them, or racks to
tear them. All well. Here are the
Scotch Covenantcrs, none to hunt them
now. The dark cave and imprecations
,f II Nd ln
temple service, and the presence of
him who helped Hugh Latimer out of
the fire. All well. No more pain.
i set open the door of heaven until
there blows on you this refreshing
breeze The fountains of God have
made it cool, and the gardens have
made it sweet. / do not know that
Solomon ever heard on a hot day, the
ice click in an ice pitcher, but he wrote
as if he did when he said, GAS cold
waters to thirsty soul, SO is good
news from far country"
Clambering among the Green noun
tains / was tired and hot and thirsty
and shall not forget how refreshing
it was when, after while | heard
the mountain brook tumbling over
the rocks. / had no cup, no chalice,
so | got down on my knees and
face to drink. Oh, We climbers on the
journey, with cut feet and parched
tongues and fcvered temples, listen to
the rumbling of sapphire brooks, amid
lowered banks, over golden shelvings.
Listen. 1.-The Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall lead them
unto living fountains of water" l do
not offer it to you in a chalice. To
take this you must bend. Get down
on your knees and on your face, and
drink out of the great fountain of
Gods consolation. And 10. | heard
a voice from heaven, as the voice of
many waters"

WEATHER AMI WIND.
Mental Faculties Regulated to Some Ex-
tent by Atmospheric Changes.

vi
tent by Atm ospheric Changes.
A writer in the American Journal OF
Psychology for this year discusses the
subject from the view of common ex-
perience and presents some facts that
are interesting as well as leading in
their directness. He says: 1.-The head
of factory employing three thousand
agreeable day yields about ten per
cent less work than delightful day,
and we thus have to count this as
a factor in our profit and
loss account Accidents are more
numerous in factories on bad days. A
railroad man never proposes changes
to his superior if the weather is not
propitious. Fair days make men ac-
cessible and generous, and open to
consider new problems favorably.
Some say that opinions reached in
best weather states are safest to in
vest on" Other facts are mentioned
in the psychical and physiological rela-
ton as weather often affects logic,
and many mems most syllogystic con-
illusions are varied by heat and cold.
< The knee jerk seems proved
to have another factor. 1t is not
strange if the eye, e. g., which wants
the normal stimulus in long, dark
weather, causes other changes"
Temperament is a fundamental fac
tor in sensitiveness to atmospheric
changes, that type of it called the
mental being the more intensely af-
fected, while the bilious type may ex-
hibit by comparison the more capri
cious or morbid impressions, says the
chronological journal. The mental
manifestations as a rule, however, de-
pend upon the organism primarily. If
the culture is good, i. e., tho faculties
have been trained to coordinate, har-
monious action, and the elements that
contribute to serenity and self-control
have been well developed, weather
conditions will not operate like other
parts Of the environment, and
self-training will show adap-
tation and self-repression. The ''nerv-
ous," excitable, irascible person
is he who has not learned to control
feeling and expression and it is he who
finds fault with his surroundings and
imputes uncanny conduct to them.
That there are functional states of the
body that predispose one to mental
depression or exhilaration we are
ready to admit. A torpid liver, a
chronic catarrh, rheumatic joint and
even an old corn may render one sus-
ceptible to weather changes, the phys
zeal ailment producing a nerve reac-
ton that is keenly felt at the spinal
centers and, may test the spirit. Mind,
however, is superior to matter, or
rather constituted for superiority
Fairly organized, carefully developed
and trained, it will exhibit that superb
GRITTY by its pose and calmness in cir
cumstances that are disagreeable OF
painful to the physical sense.

Sugar.

The introduction of sugar into Eng
land is often dated as late as the fif-
teenth century; but it was really in
use there in the thirteenth. Zucre is
mentioned in the wardrobe accounts
under date of 1243, and in the same
records have been discovered many
illusions to the sugar-consuming pro-
pensities of the English court in me-
di8val times. In the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries there are entries
of rose and violet sugar, of sugar in
tablets and in gilded waters. When a
Princess Mary went on pilgrimage
to Canterbury in 1917 the accounts
record that she consOled herself for
any notifications she may have met
on the road with five and one-half
pounds of sugar tablets and eight and
one-half pounds of rose sugar of honey.
Other ancient sweetmeats mentioned
in these old rolls are preserved ginger,
citronade, candy and ''penydes." The
last named is supposed to have been a
CONNECTION made from the cones of the
common pine tree.

The Strength of an Arch.

The strength of brick arch having
span of Is feet II inches and rise
of l foot 11s inches was recently
tested at Beaue, France, with view
to determine the suitability of such
a construction for service reservoir
now being built there. The brick
measured 11.S by 81 by IL inches,
and were laid fiat with a joint of
cement mortar o. inch thick between
them and an 8.10-inch layer of mortar
outside. A section two feet was built
on rock abutments and loaded with
$50 pounds per square foot, which
load was carried without any signs of
failure for eighteen hours.

SAYINGS AND DOINGS.

The most unique Sunday school in
the world is On the line of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga apd st. Louis rail
road, among the telegraphers. The
regular lesson is used, and all the
questions and answers are given by
wire.
Enoch Pratt of Baltimore, who is in
vigorous health at eighty six and the
active head of several large corpora
tons, wanted to give Baltimore
library, and so has spent 81, 300, 600
without troubling his heirs with the
business.
David Mccoy, who resides near
in California. Mr.. Mccoy is 104 years
of age and has lived under the ad-
ministration of every president
elected in the United States, from
Washington to Cleveland inclusive.
Patents are issued in Mexico to all
persons who apply for them, when
the necessary fee accompanies the APP
plication. The government does not
inquire into the merit of the invention
for which protection is asked, nor is
there any effort to learn of prior in
vcntion of the same device. The ques-
ton of priority has to be fought out
in the courts.
A full grown goat was quietly
browsing on the shore of Star lake at
Palmetto beach, Fla, when large
alligator, fully ten feet long, was
seen by several persons to suddenly
emerge from the reeds, and with one
stroke of his ponderous jaw bite the
goat in half He disappeared for
few minutes and was then seen to
rise again and take the other half of
the animal that had been left on the
shore.
While New York tenement house
was ablaze firemen found a helpless
mother and babe three days old
nearly suffocated in an upper floor.
One man lowered a rope from the
roof while another wrapped the babe
in his coat, tied it up snugly and then
sent it up to the roof in safety. The
woman, in an unconscious condition,
and protected by wooden blanket,
was carried safely down the fire es-
cape through the flames and smoke.

FAME AND INFAMY.


Infamy is the sum of all the bad acts
of all time.
Fame confers the highest honor.
Infamy the deepest disgrace.
Fame is the reward of an unselfish
life.
1nfamy is the reward of selfish
life.
1t is bad error to mistake infamy
for fame.
Infamy shows well for time to the
uninitiated, surprising even fame.
Every right work is fameward.
Every wrong act is in the line of in
fanny
Fame is the sum of all the good acts
of all time.
Infamy insures harder life than
fame.
Fame comes by beneiiting our fei-
lows.
Infamy Injuries them.
Fame's honors are pleasant.
lnfamy's brings dishonor and dis
grace.
Fame plants gardens.
Fame excels in all labor.
Fame wins in architecture.
Fame is democratic.
Fame succeeds in commerce, excites
to labor in school, constructs great
works, benefits the state and the peo-
pie, promotes Christian civilization.
Fame is the sum of the ocean of
mans best acts.
Every right act of the scholar, the
statesman, the artisan, the engineer.
the laborcr, is drop in the sea of
fame.
Every act of cur lives adds to the sea
of fame or of infamy.
Infamy is fame S enemy
Infamy is the ally Of sloth, ease, in
dolence, and ignorance.
1nfamy chooses the down-hill path.
mfamy's great works are wrecks.
Infamy SANDERS.
Infamy suspicious.
lnfamy seduccs.
Infamy is jealous.
lnfamy traduces faith.
Infamy defies law.
Infamy promotes disorder and DISC
bedience.
Infamy is the enemy of discipline.
Fame begins in the school to labor
upward.
Infamy floats ever downward.
Famc's labor is rewarding and salts
factory.
lnfamy's work is disorganizng and
bitter.
Improved roses. lucious fruits, finest
works of art, and unselfish Christian
lives are the product of fame.
Ruins, stolen fruits, lusts, intemper-
ate and unimely pleasures are the work
OF infamy.
We choose for which we shall strive,
the honors of fame or the incident,
poisonous, bitter fruits of infamy.-

Jim Was a Dandy.

Cyrene, who dances with much
fervor and grace is an exceptionally
moral young woman. During a re-
cent engagement in Philadelphia, she
was leisurely strolling along a quiet
thoroughfare, AMI came upon two
street urchins who were endeavoring
to destroy the features of each others
faces. Cyrene after parting the young
sters, spoke to the larger one.

Thirteen Children Too Much.

Harrison Smith of Augusta, Ga, was
humble citizen of that city before
there was an increase; now he is dead.
Tuesday night Harrison Smith was the
father of eleven children. He was
happy. There was but a single cloud
upon the horizon of his future, but he
was not worried. That morning his
wife presented him with twins. With
out a word Smith walked into his
room, took up a pistol and shot him
self through the heart. 1t is claimed
by his friends he was a man of great
superstition, and when the fact that he
was the father of thirteen children
was thrust upon him it was too much.

WAS A SWELL FOR A TIME,
How Clarence Wilmot, Conquered Mon
treal Society and Won Bet.

treal Society and Won Bet.
The sequel to the story of Clarence
+. NNilmot's escapades few weeks ago
is as interesting as the original story,
says a Toronto exchange. He gave
out that he was millionaire and that
he was going to marry young lady in
Three Rivers. He spent money lavishly,
chartered steamboat for wedding
excursion and invited several hundred
of the most prominent people in Mon
treal. In turn he was feted by several
young ''bloods'' and introduced to the
exclusive circles of the st. James club.
He disappeared on the eve of the mar
riage and nothing more was heard of
him. The sequel came out the
other day, and those who en-
tertained him feel badly sold.
1t appears that year ago Wilmot
was news agent on the Richelieu and
Ontario boats between Montreal and
Quebec. He saved a few hundred dol
lars, and when winter came he secured
similar position on the Canadian At
lantic between Coteau and Ottawa.
His economical habits followed him,
and in the spring he was in possession
of nearly $1,000. Some lucky strokes
at The Woodbine races in Toronto more
than doubled this sum. While cele
br',ting his turf victories in Toronto
ba.room he made the remark that the
time had come when he could take his
place among the Montreal 400. The
remark was greeted with laughter, but
Wilmot offered to bet $1,000 that inside
of three months he would have Mon
treal society inviting him out; that he
! would invite them out; that they would
| accept his invitations; that merchants
would be ready to give him hundreds
of dollars of credit, and that
the whole thing would cost less than
1900. The bet was accepted, the
money was put up, and Wilmont sue
ceeded in winning the purse at a cost,
according to himself, of So, 100. He
has gone back to his original business,
and can be seen any day selling books,
cigars, etc., on the trains between
Sarnia and Toronto.-Ex.

THE ISLE OF CHAMPAGNE"
Two Men are Robbing Mr.. Hayne
Of HonorS and Money.

Last night the Star printed an
interview with Julian D. Hayne,
a poet and a composer of light
opera" In speaking of an opera
which has been written by Mr..
Hayne that gentleman is reported
as saying: Eyes, 1 got it off on
the last steamer, and If it takes
with the.publishers it will probably
be put on the stage at once. l
have written a great many songs
and operas though none have prov
Ell as successful as my Isle Of Cham
pain written at Vienna sometime
ago and now being played by the
Robin Hood Company"
If Mr.. Haynes statement is a
fact then two other men are steal
ing the product of his brain. There
is comic opera called The Isle
of Champagne" but up to now it
was commonly supposed that
Charles Alfred Byrne and Louis
Harrison were the authors of it.
Mr.. Byrne is a well known New
York journalist and Mr.. Harrison
is comedian at present with the
Lillian Russell Opera Company.
They have rented the opera named
to Thomas Seabrooke who pays
heavy royalty for the use of it.
Mr.. Hayne had better write to
them regarding the disputed owner
ship of the opera.
