Anyway, every old maid has the salts
faction of knowing that she has done all
She could to make some one man happy.
Probably no woman who has any ever
succeeded in combing her hair back without
putting a big piece of it in her mouth.
At a certain age girl thinks it ladylike
to always act like she thought all the men
weren't doing anything but trying to look

A mans only consolation after he has got

he would have got into worse trouble if he
hadn't.

From the Bessemer Weekly.
We like the way the Hon. John w. Tom
linson is presenting his candidacy He is
doing it face to face; by being seen and
heard. He goes direct to the people and
practically says: 81 am a candidate for the
office OF governor of your state. l have
come to meet you that you may learn what
manner of man L am, something of my views,
and of my position on the questions of the
day, and will be pleased to have you ask
any questions regarding myself personally
or regarding my views, and to make any in
vestigations you choose regarding my quail
tications for the high position to which 7
aspire" Another very commendabe trait
in Mr.. Tomlinson is that he comes out into
the open and proclaims his purpose and his
ambition.
Mr.. Tomlinson is a gentleman and q
statesman. He is citizen sans puer,
sans reproche. He does not descend to the
low acts of a demagogue. He will not be
a party to combinations, rings or ciques.
He seeks advancement on his merits, and
If he fails in his aspirations it will be an
honorable failure, and he will still retain
the high respect and esteem of his friends
and follow citizens.

preside over the destinies of its varied in

Leeper, the tool of the American book
combine in Tennessee, is negro. He
teaches a negro school in Blount county al
$50 month When the new books were
named under the uniform textbook law
he refused to introduce them in his school.
He was therefore indicted by the grand
jury, sitting a Maryvllle, near Knoxville,
was tried in the circuit court and fined SO;
and the thirty-dollar teacher at once ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court, en-
ploying for that purpose five distinguished
lawyers in Knoxville, Nashville and Men,
phis Leeper himself is teaching his little
school in Blount county undsturbed by
appeals or big lawyers or the result. The
American Book company attends to such
matters.
The American Book company, through
Agent Leeper, claims that the new law is
unconstitutional because:
l. 1t creates a monopoly.
2 1t delegates legislative power to
board.
8. 1t unduly trenches upon the local gov
eminent of schools.
Attorney General Pickle showed to the
court that the new law calls for bids, ere
ating no monopoly whatever unless the
lowest bidder be a monopoly. There is I'M
der it no exclusion of bidders, no favorit-
ism of any kind. He also showed that If
Legislative commission could formulate
plans for building a penitentiary or schools
for the blind, it could formulate pans for
the purchase of books to be used in the
public schools. He also showed that the
legislature is unfettered in the care and
management of the public schools. In
short he showed that there Is nothing but
big fees behind the pending appeal
The case has not been decided, but there
is little doubt in Tennessee as to its consd-
tutionality. statute is always held to be
constitutional that does not beyond rea-
sonable doubt, violate the fundamental law.
If the state cannot control its own schools,
it should change its own fundamental law.

A Talk With DR.. Warden.
DR.. c. C. Warden, residing at ISL
East Court street, though one of the
earliest pioneers of Wapello county,
was prevented on account OF poor
health from attending the reunion yes
terday. DR.. Warden came to Ottum-
wa July a, 1S43. and has resided here
continuously ever since. He was the
first physician in the county, and at
tributes the many hardships which he
was forced to undergo while practicing
medicine in this country at that time
as being responsible for many of his
infirmities today. He travelled about
the country exclusively on horseback.
There were no country roads on which
to drive "a vehicle, and besides there
were no buggies or carriages of any
kind to be had. Mounted on his horse
with his medicine bags strapped. on
behind him, the doctor Travelled the
country for radius of more than
forty miles, administering to the few
settlers who, like himself. had ven
tured into the wilderness in search of
a home. Recently, DR.. Warden
told how he used to start out from
home in response to professional
call, perhaps thirty or forty miles
across the wilderness, little knowing
when he would return. Often night
would overtake him before he could
reach his destination, and il there did
not chance to be some friendly settler
| in the neighborhood he would be COM
|pelled to camp out for the night on
! the prairies. There We're many Indi-
ans here when DR.. Warden first began
the practice of medicine in what has
come to be known as Wapello county.
settlers, but very often stirred up little
quarrels that like all Indian troubles
are not pleasant to say the least. The
| Indians, according to DIR. Warden's
story, did not bother him very much,
After he became acquainted with them
they respected him MS medicine man,
a title which carries with it much
honor The doctor was very seldom
called upon to administer to sick lndi-
Lans, as they usually went to their OWL
medicine men. There was one ailment
however which DIR. Warden was always
called upon to alleviate. and that was
the toothache. Whenever an Indian
got the toothache he always went tt
Dir. Warden to have the aching molal
|pulled.
