"The same as the mud she's walking in

After more than usually rigorous
conformity with custom during a
period of forty days, society plunged
into the post-Lenten gayeties last Mon
day, and there was an uninterrupted
round of social pleasures during the
week which closed yesterday. All of
tha woman's clubs did not dis
cc:tinue their meetings before Ash
v 'nnesdsy and several of them de-
pa.Ced from the usual order of things
and admitted their gentlemen friends.
Very few club meetings will be held
before the opening of the summer sea-
son. Some large entertainments were
given, notably the affairs at the Arion
and the Carroll Club both of which
were brilliant successes. Plans for out
ings and dancing parties are already
being made. The Cathedral parish has
committees appointed for a large af-
fair On July Fourth. The Opera House
band and tirA4rion will give a series
OF sommernachtsfests and the Elks
have announced big dramatic treat
at the Park Casino. 1t will be nota-
bic summer at home, but the indica-
lions point to longer vacation trips
than usual, the itinerary of many con-
templated tours including a visit to the
Paris Exposition.

Il am sorry to have to tell sou that

it would be.
"All of the directors are dead against

disappointment to those who nave al

that it cannot be done.

THERE is an interesting subsistence
of the hue and cry from democratic
sources about "militarism." The
phenomenon has been coincidental
with Bryan's long silence about China,
and final confession that the admins
tration was doing the right thing there.
If "militarismn is right in China, as
Mr.. Bryan admits, why is it wrong in
the Philippines Troops in China
may avenge crimes that have been
committed, but can never restore the
lives of people that have been already
massacred. In the Philippines the use
of American troops has prevented the
preparation of such horrors as in
China have shocked the whole world,
including even Mr. Bryan. Manila
was prevented from becoming charnel
house only through the vigilance of
American troops who were on guard
duty the night that Aguinaldo had set
for the general massacre of all Ameri-
cans and Europeans in that city. How

Farmer BRONNAT SCHOOL
Is Given a Few Pointers.
Lessons From the OfHciaI Records Con.
corning Prosperity In Iowa Under
Mckinley.
First Lesson.

Farmer Brown left his home near
Waterloo the other day for short va
cation. The crop prospects assured
him bountiful harvest and so he de-
cided to pay visit to son who is In
business in Des Moines.
Four years ago Farmer Brown
would not have thought of taking such
trip. He hadn't the time for it then.
He worked hard all day four years
ago, and laid awake o. nights calculat-
ing how he was to meet the payments
due on certain mortgage, the exist
ence of which troubled him sorely.
Then, too, he had heard how Uncle
Horace Boies figured out that it would
take As bushels of corn to pay for a
railroad ticket from Waterloo to Des
Moines and return and that free sill
yer would be much better for farmers
for then they could have excursion
rates every day. And so he stayed at
home and voted for Bryan.
Fortunately, Farmer Brown will
never know whether the promises made
by Bryan and Boies would have been
verified or not. There was, however.
an opportunity afforded for the test Of
their predictions of calamity and
Farmer Brown waited in fear and
trembling for the disastrous effects
which they said were sure to follow
the election of Mckinley. But some
how they didn't come. Times became
prosperous despite their predictions.
The mortgage was paid off and
Farmer Brown was happy and felt at
times that something had sidetrackei
the times of trouble that were prom
Used. However, he was not just Ger.
tain whether or not this prosperity was
real. He knew he was doing better
than ever before. but he hated to think
that he had been buncoed by Bryan.
And so when the conventions of 1900
had named the same candidates he de-
termined one day to do little indie
pendent investigating on his own ac-
count.
The next day, bright and early, he
set out for Waterloo to take the train
to Des Moines. He had walked but a
short distance along the busy streets
of that city before he instinctively
Strengthened up and assumed military
attitude, while his steps easily caught
the rythm of the tap! tap! tap. as the
hammers in the hands OF the busy
workmen on the many new buildings
beat time for the march of prosperity.
Looks like prosperity has struck
here" he commented to himself.
When he reached the depot he found
that 20 instead of 45 bushels of corn
would pay his fare to Des Moines and
return. He thought of what Uncle
Horace Boies had said four years ago
and admitted to himself that possibly
Bryan and Boies might have been mis-
taken.
On the way to the capital city he
saw that the light Of prosperity was
shining full upon the thriving towns
and cities and smiling on the neat farm

''You see," he added, ''the last Re-
publican year is 1899 and Mr.. Sage
says the total for 1900 will be over
5000, 1000, 600"
Farmer Brown scanned these figures
closely and then remarked Maybe
there might have been something
wrong with the weather in some of
those years you call Democratic
years."
ut is true that the conditions were
not at all times favorable" responded
his son. "Listen to what Mr.. Sage
says on that point. In referring to the
crop of 1895 he says: The ideal season
of the decade was 1895, with a corn
crop of 80 bushels per acre, oats 4S
bushels, and aggregate cereal products
521 .63S, 900 bushels. But in that period

says, AT the low prices prevailing that
year the aggregate value of the crops
was below any year in the decade

THE late Senator John H. Gear was
a man of business ability. He was in
business, and successfully too, before
he entered politics. Yet after many
years of public service as governor,
congressman and senator, he leaves an
estate of less than $1,000 in real and
personal property at his death. In
congress he was an important member
of the committee on ways and means,
q position which, in the hands of some,
leads to enormous wealth. For years
he was chairman of the senate COM
mittee on Pacific railroads, another
position in which the temptation to
make the slightest departure from the
rigid paths of rectitude meant a
colossal fortune. Mr.. Gear was too
good business man not to have been
aware of these opportunities, but, in
spite of them, he retained his integrity
and died poor man. Waterloo
