Throwing Ashes on the slide.

Say, dad, I wish sometimes that
Was quite as big as you,
For, If was, you bet your life
There's some things I would do.
I'd tackle Farmer Saunders,
Who used to wallup me
For stealing all his pears
From his rite Bartlett tree.
I'd make him take his coat off
For rough and tumble fight;
I'd knock him into smithereeHss
He'd be an awful sightl
next would tackle Jenkins,
Him with the wooden leg,
Who'd report the kids in swimming
No matter how they'd beg.
I'd saw his wooden leg off
And cast it in the stream,
And he could then report it, too;
Oh, what happy dreami
But, say, dad, why I'd like to be
As big a man as you
Is owing to the grudge I've got
Against old Barney Drew.
The kids they used to call him
Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde,
And now he's getting even
Throwing ashes on the slide.
guess, dad, could quite forgive
jenkins and Saunders tooi
I'd take an old time whipping
And clout or two from you,
ii only once had the chance
To tsn the selfish hide
OF the man who takes delight in
Throwing ashes on tie slide.

Strong men have spoken for our peo-
pie in the past. Our delegation in
congress, in both houses, have made
an enviable record, for their wisdom
in state craft. 1t is these men who
have given us good government.
In our state campaign, our state is
to be congratulated, in the choice and
record that have been made in the
years gone by, by our governors, and
this year l believe that we will elect
a man who will add to the history and
record of Iowa, at both home and
abroad, that will give us increased
prestige. Mr.. Cummins will receive
an increased majority. Let him re-
ceive great majority, because he is
citizens. We may talk about cam
paign on state issues, if we like, but
it would be a difficult matter to put
the most of our state institutions up
on firmer basis. Our educational in,
situations are the pride of the state,
and the whole people. Our we'll man.
aged asylums and county houses rep
resent the humanity we have for the
unfortunate members of society. There
may have been some inequalities in
making assessment of some of the
property of the state. Men may hon
estly differ in judgment. But be that
as it may we will always be compelled
| to enact general statutes for all the
people. No legislative body ever yet
enacted law that was not violated,
and they never will, unless the mil
lenium should suddenly dawn upon
men.

IN A SAD PLIGHT.
Mrs. H. Anderson, Eighty-one Years of
Age With no Home.

Mrs. H. Anderson, whom Des Moines
newspapers say formerly lived in OF
tumwa, is in sad plight in the latter
city. A search here fails to find any
trace of her, however, and it is not
known if she ever lived here or not.
Concerning the case one of the Satur-
day papers says:
Mrs. H. Anderson, eighty-one years
of age, has no home but prison cells,
no friends except the officers of the
law, and a hunch-back son, who spends
the greater part of his time in drink
ing.
Night before last the woman, foot
sore and hungry, called upon Jailer
John Daniels, for nights lodging
and food. Mr.. Daniels admitted tie
forlorn creature, and his wife prepar-
ed food enough for two or three men
prisoners, but the woman cleaned the
platter, leaving not single morsel.
While moaning her fate behind the
bars of prison cell, Mrs. Anderson
was visited by her son, hunch-back,
deformed physically and degraded
mentally, who was in an intoxicated
condition.
did ever woman have such load
of sorrow as have II" said Mrs. Ander-
son.
Hester Anderson has been a char
acter familiar to officers in Des Moines
and in other Iowa towns for a score
of years. Her history is not known,
as she refuses to tell all that might
be told concerning her past life 1t
is known that several years ago she
resided in Ottumwa and was prosper
Gus. From Ottumwa she moved to a
farm somewhere in Madison county,
and from the farm she took to life
of rowing, accepting such hospitality
as county poor farms, prison cells and
charity afforded her. A number of
times she has been harbored in the
Des Moines city Jail. Overseer of the
Poor Frank Morris has been appealed
to care for the woman, but it appears
that Mrs. Anderson's residence is
matter of doubt, and no person can be
sent to the Polk county farm who is
not an actual resident of the county
Mrs. Andersen will either be sent to
the farm or given transportation back
to Madison county.

(By the Associated Press. J

New York, Dec. 16.-Brought together
through the good offices of the National
Civic Federation, leading representatives
of labor and capital, met here today to
discuss plans to minimize wages and in
dustrial disputes. Aiding them with
counsel were several prominent students
of economics and leading figures in the
religious world Oscar Strauss, former
Minister to Turkey, who acted as chair
man, announced that it was planned to
form a general executive committee,
with representation divided among la
Dor, capital and the great public, and
that it was hoped that it would become
tribunal of peace, where the conflicting
interests might meet on even footings
and settle their differences in a spirit
of conciliation and mutual toleratIon.
Charles NJ. Schwab declared that he
was opposed to labor unions as they
were now constituted, and said that they
must fail as the trusts had failed for
seeking to limit the output and control
prices.

air. 1 am not opposed to labor unions
