kjpling's New Stories

Rudyard Kipling's first piece of sus.
tanned work since his illness last year
turns out to be-a series Of humorous an
imal stories which are said to show
the freshness and zest of man who has
had long rest. Kipling loves to write
an animal story better than anything
else, and when his physicians allowed
him to return TO work he instinctively
turned to this series which he had in
mind for years. There are nine stories,
and each one is supposed to tell the
origin of the most conspicuous part OF
the animal portrayed. Thus, in THE
Elephants Child he tells a most droll
story Of how the elephant happened to
get trunk, and in 'The Sing Song OF
Old Man Kangaroo he gives the history
of how the Kangaroo got his long legs,
for, Mr.. Kipling says, there was time
when elephants had no trunks, and kan
garoo's legs were not as long as they are
now. The story, il is said, show Mr.
Kipling at his very best They are ex
pressively funny and have that rar,
quality Of appealing to old as well H.
young. The author has sent the entire
series to the Ladies' Home Journal, and
that magazine will begin their publica-
ton in its next issue.

Work in the legislature is now be.
coming more interesting as the session
draws nearer to close. Woman. suf.
frage, which has been kept rather
quiet, will be voted on this week. From
this distance it looks like liquor legisla
tion will amount to but little. That
question seems to be pretty well settled
for the present, and there is disincli.
nation on the part of the more careful
men to stir it up again. Some radical
legislation on building and loan
management may be passed to prohibit
them from charging too highlinterest
and collecting such high fines fol-
nonpayment Of dues. A woman's re-
formatory may be provided for so as to
separate the women from the girls at
Mitchellville and to give the criminal
women better care.

People who are on the streets of
Fontanelle at night should remember
one thing in particular, little matter
which We mention for their own good,
and il the hearer harkens to the voice
of wisdom he may save funeral ex-
penses by postponing the fatal day. II
the night watch calls halt, why halt
without haggling or chewing the rag,
and ask in respectful tone what is
wantsd. If he asks you to hold up
your hands, do so without question and
show him his mistake some other time,
if it is mistake. These suggestions
are made out of consideration of the
fact that the present night watch is
from Kentucky, and it is better to rec
ognize the fact in the beginning than
to have it written in your obituary
that you didn't know it.-Fontanelle
Observer.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
On. W dairyman called at drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come ut once on his return He
also bought bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy, which he hoped could
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In few hours he returned
saying the doctor need not come, as
the child was much better. The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for it from that part of the country.

Mcpherson and the Judgeship.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Iowa State Register, has had consider
able to say the past week about the like
lihood of Congressman Mcpherson be-
coming Judge OF the United States court
for the Southern district of Iowa in
place of Judge Woolson, deceased. He
says that because the congressman from
the south half of the state and Senator
Gear cannot unite in recommending
one of the several candidates, that it is
becoming more apparent that they will
offer the place to Mcpherson as COM
promise.
All recognize McPherson's eminent
qualifications for the place. 1t seems
to be understood that there was time
before Mr.. Mcpherson went to con-
gress that he would have been pleased
to have the position, and it is said to
tempt him now. 1t is life appoint
ment with no worry about campaigns
and with 5000 salary. A congress
mans salary is the same but there is a re-
nomination and reelection to look
after every two years and that is ex-
pensive.
One career is more attractive than
the other according to mans inclina-
tions. To him whose tastes are wholly
of the law the position of United States
Judge is attractive. He is then brought
in contact with the legal fraternity
and he presides over the trial of cases.
He is constantly applying the great
principles of the law to the endless
cases coming up. His duties are labor
lous and many are important. The
congressman life is more active and
varied. He needs to be lawyer, poll
tician, servant of his thousands of con-
stituents, statesman, orator and hun
bred other things. But his life brings
him in constant touch with the people.
1t also takes him into the presence
of the greatest Legislative body of the
world and gives him opportunity to
catch the very advanced thought of the
nation. 1t gives him the greatest
political opportunities that can be
given.
From every indication it seems Mr..
Mcpherson is just entering on a con-
gressional career of great influence and
usefulness. His ability obtains recog-
milton for him and if he remains there
he will no doubt soon become leader
in congress, bringing recognition,
honor and influence to himself and his
district. We hope he will not be led
off by the allurements Of aiudgeship.

This country is at present trying to
solve some great and difficult problems.
The tariff question and the question
Of the monetary standard appear just
now to be practically solved and the
principal thought seems to be turned
on questions that apply to our new pos
sessions. Shall We admit our new
possessions into our body polite so that
they will have applied to them the
same revenue laws that we have OF
will we legislate specially for them
There are some fundamental political
principles involved in the answer to
this question. We are inclined to
think our government has the right &c
adopt special legislation for these pos.
sessions.

The democrats in congress act like
they thought they were the sole
guardians of the constitution. They
are much afraid that great instru-
ment will be violated in this country s
treatment of Porto Rico. Well, the
republican party which is responsible
for the Porto Rican legislation, showed
enough interest in the constitution at
one time to preserve it when if they
hadn't it would have been torn into
tatters. We rather think they have
some stect for it yet.

The Puerto Rican tariff bill, should
it become law in the form
in which it passed the House, will give
to the people of Puerto Rico couple
of hundred thousand dollars year for
improvement of general conditions,
educational and otherwise, in the island
and yet will give them such CONNER
cial relations with the United States as
to greatly stimulate the interchange Of
commodities, while by the higher duties
imposed on articles coming into the
Island from other countries we will be
given practically the entire market.
The duty collected on merchandise
coming into the United States from
Puerto Rico at full Dingley law rates
amounts to little over a million dol
lars year, and with collection of but
fifteen per cent. of the regular rates,
perhaps $4,000 would be realized,
which would be Immediately expended
for internal improvements in the
island.

I. b. Swan, of Atlantic, who had
been announced as candidate for the
republican nomination for county at
torney, has withdrawn in the interests
OF the harmony of his party. The

this act. Mr.. Swan is good attorney

to be more inclined to help harmonic
his party than to engage in obtaining

Speaking of the men in the country
and what We think of them, we will
tell you. We know man who lives
on his quarter section Of land several
miles from town. He is about out OF
debt. He has nice place, good house
and barn, has groves, orchard, fruit,
has horses, cattle and hogs and many
of them we'll bred. He farms intel
ligently and energetically and makes
some money. His house means more
than place to stay-it means home.
1t has several modern conveniences and
it contains not only necessaries but
luxuries, for luxuries come cheaper
than they used to. Then this man has
got to where he doesn't have to save
every nickle he gets, but can enjoy life
and can give enjoyment to his family.
His children as they have grown up
have not only had the advantage OF
country schools, but of town schools
and some of them of colleges. News
papers, magazines, books and music
are now among their home attractions.
But what is most admirable to us in
this man is his self reliance. He is a
man of information and of opinions.
No one tells him how to think. His
abilities are good enough to qualify him
for public Office if he desired it, but
not caring for it he is qualified to advise
those who often seek to advise him :.
He is of that material of independence
which has made this race self govern
ing. 1t is this spirit that made the
colonists free and which has developed
our own modern home government into
the best system in the world. He is a
type of the modern Iowa agricultural
citizen, and he is able, independent
and honorable. His influence and the
influence Of his family upon our
politics, society and government are
among the most healthful and stimulat-
ing of any We have.

The solid front which the democrats
in congress put up against the gold
standard bill leads us to think that
that question will surely be one of the
issues Of the campaign this year, so far
as the declarations of the platform are
concerned, but it will be of but little
interest and but little attention will be
paid to it because it is practically
settled.
