Poor Grounds for a Divorce.

The Chicago papers say the daughter
of the late Carter Harrison is about to
obtain divorce from her husband to
whom she was married but few years
ago. This mere statement is not so re-
markable as the reasons given for it. 1t
is announced that the hns band and wife
are on the best of terms and that
neither wants anything said or done
in the divorce proceedings that will in
any way reflect on the other. They
have been considered very wealthy and
have spent their time principally in
Europe since their marriage. They
have recently discovesgd, 20 the an
nouncement runs, that their wealth is
insufficient to continue their present
style of living, so they have concluded
that it would be better to obtained a
divorce and each return to their own
family.
All of which sounds very abhorrent
Is this in America that they should do
this thing? Or do they imagine they
are aping the aristocracy of Europe :?
We wish it were so they could find no
court in America to grant them a di-
vorce for any such fimsy reasons. 1t
is pity that they had not been taught
industry in their youth so they could
now support themselves. 1t is pity
they have not had taste developed for
doing something useful in the world,
not simply Willing away their time for
their own pleasure. The nobility of
toll, the sweet results of accomplishing
something, the good to others that
honest and heroic endeavor bring, all
these things seem to be to them I'M
known. They seem to fairly repre-
sent that class of people farthest re-
moved from true Americanism. Riches
have degraded, rendered idle, and use
less those who are aping nobility.
They richly deserve the ridicule and
contempt of the country.

When Mayor Meet. Mayor.

Civic characters of local fame imbued
with sense Of their own Importance
are not wholly unknown in this coun-
try, fact which may account for the
familiar ring of the following story
found in Highways and Byways In
East Anglia"
Mayor Wakefield one day set out for
the next town with load Of hay. On
the way truss fell from the load, aud
he applied to passerby for assistance
In replacing 1t. The man addressed.
instead of rendering willing aid, drew
himself up to rather more than his nor
NAL height and said:
"Are you aware that you are address
ing the mayor Of Lynn
Man." replied Wakefield. "that don't
make no odds. I'm the mayor Of Cat
tie Rising. Now will you lend handY
with pleasure" replied the mayor
Of Lynn.

Couldn't Find the Corkscrew.

They live pretty well ont, in a hand
some home. but not near enough to
fire station to be 'handy In case OF ac-
cident." As the house is their own
and their all the husband had been
somewhat in terror of a blaze for some
time. So he laid in a stock of hand
grcnades, those little glass bottles
which are supposed to put out any fire
that may start.
One day the blaze came. The cook
started 1t in the kitchen. Then she
fled bowling to her room and began to
pack her trunk. The wife prides her
self on her ability to keep her head. so
first she stepped to the telephone and
turned in the alarm, and then she went
for the hand grenades.
When the fire department did arrive,
the men found her standing over the
sldeboard rummaging through the
drawers. Copious streams of water
soon drowned the blaze and ruined the
lower floor, and the department left.

her there.
"Why, my dear girl" he said, why
didn't you use the hand grenades and
stop the fire as soon as 1t started?
Then the whole lower part of the house

Balls Campaign story.

1t Is not probable that better story
teller than eX-Lieutenant Governor Da-
vid A. Ball of Missouri ever stood be-
fore an American audience. In 1896
he was trying to persuade the gold
Democrats that, Notwithstanding the
fact that they differed from the regu-
lars on the financial issue, they agreed
with them on so many points that they
ought to vote for Bryan anyway. He
wound up that part Of his speech as
follows:
"How would a Mossback Missouri
Democrat look voting with the Repub-
licans? l will tell you. Up in Pike
county an old chap undertook to COM
init suicide by hanging himself with a
blind bride. Just as he was about
dead his son cut him down. The old
man rubbed his eyes and said, John, il
you had let me alone a minute longer
l would have been in heaven Yes,
replied the boy; you would have cut a
deuce of a figure in heaven looking
through a blind bride, wouldn't your
And that" concluded Mr.. Ball, sis the
way Missouri Democrat would look

cumstances Champ Clark

I. a Good Breakfast Necessary, Y.

- - ~SSe Aess
A good breakfast is the physical basis
of days work. The American break
fast, regarded with so much horror on
the European continent, has contrib
uted largely to make the nation what
1t is today. 1t enabled our forefathers
to do an amount of work which it APP
pals foreigners to contemplate.
As a rule there is something wrong
with the man or with his habits II he
cannot eat good breakfast. A man
who works at high tension all through
the morning hours without this sub
stantial foundation is working entirely
upon his nerves. That means disorder
ed nutrition and sooner or later bank
ruptcy and collapse.
II man gets up in the morning with
a bad taste and no inclination for food,
it is because his system Is full Of waste
and his circulation of distractions. Let
him make a radical change in his hab-
its and train his digestive organs to ac-
commodate nourishing morning meal.

The Cedar Rapids convention is now

The Cedar Rapids convention is now
not quite three weeks away but the
nomination of governor is still very un-
certain. 1t looks like Ulmmins would
have close to 700 of the S2l necessary
to nominate. Many claims are made
both for and against him than cannot
be substantiated, so an actual ballot
will be necessary to show the exact
standing of many delegates. The feeling
is quite intense among some who choose
to be partisans one way or the other.
Charges of corruption are made by
both sides and both sides are guilty Of
things they ought to be ashamed OF.
There are cou mites in Iowa where
such fights do not make much differ
ence as the party majority is such that

Aatiaue Clocks

A common trick of clock makers and
repairers of years ago. when the craze
for antique grandfather clocks first
showed itself, was to alter the names
and dates of the original makers on
such of these clocks as came to them.
This trick has made it difficult to prove
the exact age Of an old clock now, even
by experts, and still more difficult to
learn the name Of the real maker. Rep
utable repairers do not follow the
practice in these days, having realized
that it results in the end in injury to
the business.-Jeweiers' Circular Week

a party fight cannot effect the results,
but there are many others where such
energies need to be reserved for fight
ing the parties battles. We. are in

for man to enjoy more vigorous and

fact, he is younger both in physical
appearance and the sharpness Of his
faculties than many men at fifty. He

VIM. j. Bryan was turned down by
the Ohio democratic convention the
other day. 1t looks like movement
was now gaining Roadway in the demo

have become so used to being populists
recently that to be "old fashioned

OF Iowa:

authorities are on the alert and are ready
to cope with any outbreak that NAV
come. 1t is understood that the military
will be called out upon the first sign OF
trouble
The Employers Association admits that
the business being done is away below
the average Of the transactions. The
managers for the Employers fight ad-
nit that there are 146 vessels tied up
Many of these are In the coasting and
island trade One wheat ship alone has
been able to go to sea since the strike
began. There is constant trouble in get
ting the liners loaded. The Pacific Mail
Company has it's stevedores non-union
negroes, quartered upon the steamer City
of Para, where they spend all the time
Every gate to the wharves Is picketed
by the strikers, and any non-union man
leaving the docks is attacked and beat
en-. The only way any of the workmen
is able to get into the city Is to get
away from the dock by boat One Japa-
nese cabin boy of the Gaelic was beaten
SO badly that he was laid up for several
days.
The statements of the condition of af-
fairs made by the strikers and the EN-
ployers differ materially. Perhaps the
mean might be a fair estimate of the
true condition of affairs. The strikers
say the number of Federation men out
is 1900; the number working on the front
is 500; teamsters working, 300; vessels tied
up 200; percentage of business done. 3d.
The employers give these figures: Fedora
tion strikers, 5000; men working, LOO,
tearnsters. 600; vessels tied up. 146; per
centage of business being done, 65
There are now engaged in the protec-
ton of union teamsters and other work
ers, 6S5 special policemen, or nearly forty
per cent more than the regular force of
the city. There are almost daily reports
of attacks made upon men who are anx-
ious to work. In the case of twenty-five
machinists who were brought west to
work in the Union Iron Works. eight re
fused to work and there were several
encounters, one of the special policemen
being sent to the hospital. Among the
many demonstrations was a parade Of
the idle men, which brought nearly 10000
marchers to the streets. 1t is no thought
likely that there will be any change in
the situation for some weeks, or until
one of the parties to the struggle ex-
hausts its resources.
