MARTHA WEEKS HENDERSON.
Martha Weeks Henderson, whose funer-
al was conducted yesterday afternoon by
Rev. Elliott Barber, was an estimable
lady. Ii Is difficult to estimate the intiu.
ence of life 20 quiet and unobtru sive as
that of Mrs. henderson; and yet when
the hesutiful spirit passed on to the
higher levels of thought and action, q
sense of personal loss parvaded the homes
and hearts that have felt the charm OF
her gentle, refined and lovanle PERSONAL
ty. A student OF the old school, Mrs.
Henderson kept In touch and sympathy
with the best in literature, preferring
ethical, philosophical. and religious
works. All the great poets were like per-
sonaI friends and their gems were clear
as sunlight in her memory. She trusted
impIioity in the justice and love of the
Eternal One, finding a bright side to
every shadow. She saw His smile in all
natural beauties. ohs heard HIS promises
in the songs of birds and in loving
Voices. She felt His presence in the atfec-
tion and sympathy of friends and neigh
bors and most of all In the close COM
partnership or the book of books. just
before she died she called oheerfuily to
one watching beside her: 'How good 1t
will be TO ind them aIl,'' and then joy
ously; when the mists have rolled In
spIendor from the summit OF the hills"

Mr.. Lewis closed his remarks by
describing the conditions in the Phil
ippines, and the needs of the people
therein as viewed by the democratic
party. In substance he said: "1nat
of the ten million people there, five
million are civilized Christian people,"
"The island of Luzon," he said, sis
almost as large as Iowa and has pop
ulation of three million people and yet
the republicans tell us that the new
possessions afford an opportunity for
the young man." Mr.. Lewis represent
that there is nothing in the Philip
pines except for the trusts and money
ed kings. Aguinaldo, he represented
as an exceptionally intelligent man,
and from documents in his possession
said that his cabinet was composed of
university graduates, men who would
shine in the cabinet of any country.
Mr.. Lewis final remarks were in be-
half of Hon. A. G. Steck's candidacy,
in which he contrasted the democratic
and republican nominees, with clos
ing command, vote for Steck, vote for
Bryan"
There was no allusion to the money
question turnout Mr.. Lewis entire ad-

SMART MEN WANTED.

A low interest rate for money is re-
6ulting in turning the attention Of cap
italists to various forms of investment
for their money entirely outside of
stocks. bonds, mortgages and such like
securities. Among other things receiv-
Ing attention is the farm In it's various
phases. Land is always a safe invest
ment If not profitable one, and when
1t is intelligenuy worked 1t will, taking
q series of years, pay much larger
rate of interest on the capital invested
than any obtainable from corporation
or municipal security. Thus 1t comes
that there is springing up sharp de-
mand on the part of such investors in
farmland for young men thoroughly
and scientifically trained along the
lines of stock breeding and care, dairy
ing, orcharding, greenhouse work, irri-
cation, the poultry yard and the vege-
table garden to manage such farms, a
demand which the agricultural colleges
of the country are entirely unable to
fill. Take that 500 farm boy of yours,
send him to college for three years and
make $1,000 man of him. 1t can be
done just as easy as rolling out of bed
If the boy is equal to his opportunity.

A Desperate Candidate.

New York Mail and Express: AS
illustrating the desperate spirit which
has seized Candidate Bryan in these
clo5ing days of his inglorious cam.
paign it is worth while to notice this
passage from his speech at Spencer
port, N. Y, last Saturday:
IF am elected, promise you that
within year there will not be a pri.
vate monopoly n existence in the
United States"
Interpreted in the light of Bryan's
well known views, this utterance
means that if he had the powe- he
would institute policy of wholesale
confiscation against corporate enter
prise, and that the business commun.
ity would be plunged into chaos and
bankruptcy. No other candidate for
the presidency ever so brazenly ap.
pealed to the spirit of disorder and
incendiarism. No former nominee of
great political party for the highest
Office in the land ever so openly pro-
claimed himself a volutionist and
usurper. The reports say that the
audience received Bryan's threat Gin
silence" That is doubtless true.
Had the people cheered that utterance
it would have been much as if they
should applaud a demagog who had
announced his purpose to burn their
property.

THE MISTAKE HE MADE.

He was all right in wanting to set
out ten acre apple orchard, and had
he gone to some well posted fruit man
and found out what kind Of trees to
plant he would have been all right and
would today. ten years later, have had
an orchard which would have been of
great value, but instead he listened to
travelling tree peddler, who unloaded
on to him lot of varieties which are
proving to be utterly worthless, one
tenth only Of his trees bringing him in
any return worth speaking of. This
was serious blunder to make, for he
is too old now to repair the damage.
This thing should always be borne in
mind in planting an orchard. For a
family orchard alone q variety of trees
will do no great harm, but If such
orchard is planted with a view of sell
ing the fruit the fewer the varieties
planted the better, and they should be
Of known hardy and saiable varieties.

Farmer Charged With Falling to At
fix Revenue Stamp,

fix Revenue Stamp.
Fort Dodge, Oct. 3O.-Jacob Ziegler,
a wealthy farmer living in Williams
township, Calhoun county, has been
bound over to the United States grand
jury in this city, his case involving 2
cents. The charge against Ziegler is
violation of the internal revenue
law. Events leading up to his arrest
and subsequent action are involved in
a commercial transaction. Ziegler
placed an order for strawberry plants
with Fred Chapman, nursery stock
peddler, some months ago. Chapman
contracted to deliver the plants at the
proper time in the spring, but failed to
live up to his agreement and did not
call on Ziegler until some time in July.
Ziegler refused to accept the plants
and was sustained in his action by the
courts. Chapman thirsted for revenge
and brought charge against Ziegler
of having failed to affix revenue
stamp to the order Ziegler had his
hearing before captain w. H. John
ston, deputy clerk of the United States
courts in this city today. He was
bound over to the grand jury and was
allowed to return to his home, being
permitted to go his own bail to the
amount of 5000.

SIGNING YOUR NAME

An old Irishnan Of western state
who has become quite wealthy as the
result of discovering gold mine, be-
cause of the lack of education in his
youth Is unable to sign his name and
can only make his mark. He likes to
travel and pays young man $1,000 a
year for the special purpose Of regis
tering his name at the hotels where he
stops. You instinctively pity a man
In such fix. There are men, and not
few, that would be money ahead If
they had to have q secretary SO that
they might thereby be prevented from
signing their names to contracts, or
ders and receipts which materialize
later on as promissory notes. 1t is a
pretty good way to have your wife wit
ness your signature.

We are asked whether 1t is the first
frosts which color the leaves of the
trees In the fall of the year. We think
not. The most brilliant autumnal To-
liage is usually found in those seasons
when the frost is delayed beyond the
time of the natural maturing of the TO-
liage, as in this season. Frosts hasten
the defoliation of the trees, and in the
case of severe ones they absolutely de-
stroy all life in the foliage, sothat the
leaves turn brown and fall without go
ing through natural ripening and col
oring process.

The advantage Of pure food law,
such as that In effect in Minnesota, re-
quiring the veriiication by certified
analysis of the purity of a food COM
modify, not only protects the people Of
that state, but also those of other
states where such product may be Of
fered for sale. For instance, certain
brand of maple strip, the purity Of
which is attested by the pure food
commissioners Of Minnesota, is placed
on sale in Iowa and Wisconsin, and the
buyers for the first time in all their
lives probably know when they buy
this brand that they are getting gen,
uine maple strip. Every state should
have rigid and comprehensive pure
food law and not have to depend upon
the enterprise of other states for pro-
lection from adulterated food products.
