RATH DEFEATED.
McGrin Wins by Ten Votes in Special
Election.

On Thursday Mr.. Thos. McGrin was
elected to the council from the second
ward over William Rath, the republi,
can nominee. The vote was 5S to IS in
favor of the democratic candidate. MIR.
McGrin and the democratic workers
were hard at it all day and succeeded
in winning a very creditable victory
Mr.. Rath was unable to be in Denisen
on the day of election and this fact
somewhat dampened the ardor OF the
republican workers. Both of the can.
didates were good men and we have no
doubt but that Mr. McGrin will make
an acceptable member of the council
for the few months remaining of Mr..
Browns term. The second is close
ward and victory usually goes with the
side that works the hardest. In this
case the democrats put in much more
effort than did their republican oppon.
ents and success was their reward.

The Penelope Club had a fine meet
ing with Mrs. Gable Tuesday The
only draw back being that "Jake" was
not present. Mrs. George Rumsey of
Cripple Creek, Colo, Mrs. Haddie
Hamling of Boone. sister of Mrs Gable,
and Mrs. May Wilder of Dow City, an
ex-member of the Penelope, were the
out of town guests. Mrs. Hamling does
the most exquisite needle work and mad
number of examples of her work with
her. The club enjoyed themselves as
they always do, not the least part OF
the enjoyment being the serving of re-
freshments by Jessie Weeks and
Blanche Gable. Among many other
good things were some chicken patties
that will live long in the memory OF
those who partook. After refresh
ments Mrs. Gable presented all of her
guests with most convenient pocket

vacated in his favor by one of. the
ships officers consideration not
made public, but Claus Spreckles &
Co., bankers, had never before re-
ceived such a deposit from this very
able seaman in all the years he had
been sailing or steaming in and out
of Honolulu harbor.
And now retribution overlook the
invalid. The Red Cross had made
marvellous name for itself in San
Francisco and was already organized
and doing wonders at Honolulu. It's
ministratiOns had been gladly accept
ed by the scores of officers and men
among the volunteers, to whom the
somewhat bare and crude conditions
of camp hospitals were doubtless
very trying. Women of gentlest birth
and most refined associations dOnned
its badge and dress and wrought in
ward, kitchen or refectory. 1t was a
noble and patriotic purpose that in
spired such sacrifice.
1t was joy to the embryo soldiery
to be fed and comforted day by day
with the delicacies of the Red Cross
tables; but there were military mag
mates and martinets who dared to
question the wisdom of such prepa-
ration for the stern scenes of cam
paigning ahead of the volunteers, and
who presumed to point out to the Of
ficers of this great and far-reaching
charity that, while they were most
grateful for such dainties for the in
valids of their command, the daily
spectacle of scores of lusty, hearty
young heroes feasting at the tables
of the Red Cross, to the neglect of
their own simple but sufficient ra-
tions, prompted the query as to what
the boys would do without the Red
Cross when they got into the field

and couldn't have cake and gle Gad
cream with their coffee.
The Red Cross, very properly, took
umbrage at such suggestions and
branded the suggestors as horrid.
The Red Cross had done such wide-
spread good and was ready to do SO
much more that criticism of it's meth.
DDS was well-nigh unbearable. And
now that it had obtained the sanction
of the government to send out to
Manila not only supplies and dainties
of every possible kind, but dozens Of
it's members to serve as nurses to
the sick and wounded, it scored tri-
umph over rival organizations, nota-
bly, the Patriotic Daughters of Amer
lea, whose vice president, the austere
Miss Perkins, first bombarded the
papers in vain protest and denuncia-
ton, the Red Cross being her main
objective, and with abuse of the COM
handing officers in camp; then called
in person on the same officers to de-
mand transportation to Manila with
the next expedition.
The Red Cross held its head very
high, and with reason. 1t ruff1ed it's
feathers and resented any slight. 10
sometimes mistook courteous protest
against its lavish gifts to such SOL
diers as were in no wise needy as VI
cious and unhallowed criticism, an6
occasionally - only occasionally it
grievously enlarged and exaggerated
alleged Sights received at the hands
of lucIless officials. And then even
those soft and shapely hands could
develop catlike claws and the sooth-
ing voices take on all acid and scath-
ing intonation, and the eyes, so ready
to moisten with pity and sympathy
at the sight of suffering, could shoot
spiteful little fires at the objects of
such divine displeasure, and poor Stuy-
vesant's petulant words, wrung from
him in moment of evaporation and
never intended to reach the fair
band of sisters of the cross, were
piled high with additions, impolitic,
impolite, discourteOus, impudent, in
tolerable-yes, even profane and BIAS
phemous.
Eleven of the twelve Red Cross
nurses, packed three in room
aboard the Sacramento, swore they
would not have anything to do with
Mr.. Stuyvesant. The twelfth, the one
soldiers daughter in the band, said
nothing at all.

NAVIGATING LIONS.
The BclgiaDs Abandon One of ThelT
Stations on Account OF
Them

The Katanga company, which is de-
velopmg the rubber and other re-
sources of large district In the up"
per Congo basin, has abandoned the
station of Kululn, which it had estabp
lished on Lake Moero. Though a
great deal of labor has been expend-
ed in making this station a large and
desirable post the region around it
became infested with man-eating
lions. 1t was therefore decided to
seek another location. Quite a num-
Der of natives in the service of the
state were killed by these lions with,
in a few weeks. The victims were
dragged into the jungle and eaten.
Many men saved their lives only by
climbing trees, thus getting out of
reach of the bowling beasts beneath
them. Everywhere along the paths
and brooks the lions lay in wait for
their prey, and no man knew when
he might be struck to earth by The.
terrible foe lurking in the jungle all
ready for the fatal spring, says an
eastern exchange.
A man-eating lion is one that has
tasted human flesh, likes it better
than the meat of any. of the animals
upon which its kind is wont to prey
and therefore win eat nothing else
if it is able to kill man, woman or
child. In the past three years it has
been more than usually in evidence
in East Africa between Victoria Ny
ANA and the Indian ocean. The man
eaters killed many natives and also
a considerable number of laborers op
the Uganda railroad. They filed tbs
thousands of Indian and black Ia
borers with such terror that the mef
finally refused to work until all this
lions had been killed.
When man-eating lions come to the
neighborhood of human habitations
one of two things must be done
Either the inhabitants must get OUT
Of the country, for their lives are not
safe there for moment, or else they
must kill every lion of the man-eat
ing type that has come into their dis
trict. 1t is fortunate that lions OF
this type are comparatively few ir
number. If all lions were man-eat
ers Africa would become uninhabita
BILE, unless the world organized 81

species out of existence.

STROBE straight to the corner Of the
big building and into the blackness
of the westward side, peering right
and left in search of the skulker
who dared not come to the open
dock, yet sought means of reaching
the Australian steamer.
For moment he could distinguish
no living object, then paused to lis
ten, and within ten seconds was re-
warded. Somewhere close at hand
between him and a low shed to his
left there was the sound of sudden
collision and a muttered oath. Some
invisible body had bumped against
some invisible box, and, turning
sharply, Stuyvesant made a spring,
and the next instant had grappled
with some burly, powerful form and
was dragging it, despite furious re-
sistance, towards the light.
He was conscious of the sickening
odor of sour whisky, of a volley of
mad threats and imprecations, of a
singing blow in the face that only
served to make him cling the tighter
to his prisoner. Then, as they swayed
and struggled to and fro, he felt that
he was not gaining ground and that
this unseen ruffian might after all es-
cape him. He lifted up his voice in a
mighty shout:
"Police! Policel This way!"
Then he heard savage oath, a
suffering, savage "Let go, d-n
your soul!" and then felt a sharp,
stinging pain in the right side-an-
other-another; and earth and sky
reeled as his grasp relaxed, and with
moan of anguish he sank fainting
on the dock.

TO Policy Holders in Old Line Com
panies: Beware of the confidence game
played by the pious Insurance Agent
who wants to do you the favor Of
switching you from your company to
his. All companies write numerous
plans of insurance and every plan costs
a different price. You get value re-
ceived for any plan you buy, from any

fidence man shows you plan differing
from the one you have, which is part of
the game, and should you prefer this
particular plan write to the Agent OF

next-door ROOM" said his garrulous
attendant that afternoon, and Stuy-
vesant thought opprobrious things.

night, 1 suppose" said he, disgusted-
ly, when the 'medico" came in late
that afternoon. 81 wish you'd move

where he'll be entirely isolated. 1t
was too expensive for our visitors
from the transports, butt believe
you said Mr.. tuyvesant-wouldn't
mind"-a tentative at which the doc
tor looked wise and sagely winked.
When that able practitioner re-
turned to the cottage two young
women with Red Cross badges were
seated on the veranda, just in from
a drive, apparently, and little dark
eyed chap in the uniform of sub
altern of the cavalry was with them.
They had drawn their chairs into the
shade and close to the Venetian
blinds, behind which in his darkened
room reclined the languid patient.
THAT will drive him simply rabid,"
said the doctor to himself, and pre-
pared a professional smile with which
to tell the glad tidings that he should
be borne forthwith to higher regions.
He had left Stuyvesant peevish,
fretful, but otherwise inert, asking
only to be spared from intrusion. He
found him alert, intent, eager-his
eyes kindling, his cheeks almost
flushing. The instant the doctor be-
gan to speak the patient checked him
and bent his ear to the sound of soft
voices and laughter from without.
GIVE fixed it ALL" whispered the
medical man, reassuringly. "Weu
move you in a minute-just as soon
as 1 can call in another man or two"
and he started for the door, whereat
his erratic patient again uplifted
hand and beckoned, and the doctor
tip-toed to his side and bent his ear
and looked puzzled, perturbed, but
finally pleased. Stuyvesant said that,
thinking it all over, he guessed" he
would rather stay where he was.
And then, when the doctor was
gone, what did he do but take brace
in his chair and bid the attendant go
out and say to the officer on the
veranda, Lieut.. Ray, that Mr.. Stuy-
vesant would be very glad to speak
with him if he'd be so kind as to come
in, whereat the soft laughter sudden
ly ceased.
There was a sound of light foot
steps going in one direction and
springy, soldierly step coming in the
other. Then entered Mr.. Sanford
Ray, with outstretched hand, and the
attendant, following and peering over
his shoulder, marveled at the sudden
change that had come over his mas
ter.
Three days later, when the City of
Sacramento was pronounced ready to
proceed and the officers and Red
Cross nurses en- route to Manila were
warned to rejoin- the ship, Lieut..
Stuyvesant SHOOK" so to speak, his
civil physician, persuaded the army
surgeons with the feet that a sea
voyage was all he needed to make
new man of him and was carried
aboard the Sacramento and given an
airy stateroom on the upper deck,

GROWING OLD.

. You are growing old" they tell Us.
Ev>SY year;
- You are more alone" they tell us,
Every year;
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrows and detection,
Every year.
There come new cares and sorrows
Every year;
Darker days and darker mOrFOws
Every year;
The ghost of dead loves haunt SIS
The ghosts of changed friends taunt US
And disappointment daunt us
Every year.
Too true! Life's shores are shifting
Every year;
And we are seward drifting
Every year;
Old places changing fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher
Every year;
And the Morning Star climbs higher
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burthen lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
Every year.

LincoIn,s Father as a Boy.

Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abra-
ham Lincoln, was great story teller
and one yarn that he never tired oi
rehearsing was a blood-curdling In-
dian tale. One day, when he was
about seven or eight years old and
living in Kentucky, he was sitting on
a fence watching his father and older
brothers at work in the field. With
out moments warning a small band
of Indians came rushing by on horse
back. One of them, with a sweep OF
his long arm, seized the lad and gal
loped off. Little Tommy Lincoln
looked up into the red warriors face
and said: Don't kill me. Take me
a prisoner" The Indian smiled. Just
then a rifle cracked. Indian and boy
tumbled off the horse, the Indian
dead, with a bullet in his brain. Tom
my Lincoln's brother had come to tbs
rescue.-Argonaut.

upon which it placed bronze figure of

The unframed statue pointed the hope

the Confederate soldier found upon his
return home in 1865. 1t was an inspira-
ton of cheer, of hope and confidence as
well as prophecy. AS the Confederate
soldier rebuilt the South on firmer basis,
so the view of the statue will serve to

ARE THEY GODS STEWARDS?

Hugh o. Pentecost of New York, takes
the same view of Rockefeller's "giving"
$500 900 900 to men empoyed by the Stand
ard Oil Company that Prof. Holt takes,
and goes a step further and declares:
"Then there is the theory that the cap
italist pays the workman. Where did
John d. Rockefeller get the $500, 900?
From the working people, and from them
he got all his other millions besides
WAS the slave owner benefactor? He
thought so. The same thing exists now.
The form of the slavery has changed; that
is all. was talking recently with coal
mine owner. He told me about the store
system, and how the man who did not
spend all was discharged. That is the
working of the system as whole. Every
thing goes back to the employing class.
This doctrine of working for God s
stewards is taught in Bible classes. Ii
is wholly contrary to the teaching OF
Jesus and the Bible.
'It is taught in schools-this gospel
of working for Gods stewards, and or
loving the Government.

as ignorant as the rest. President Nc

come when this doctrine Of Gods stew

Because a man is growing old he need
not be an invalid. Old age isn't a dis
ease. A man at sixty should be we'll, and
many at seventy are as we'll as ever in
their lives.
But as age comes on the blood needs
to be rid of rheumatism and the mus
cles of neuralgia; the nerves needs feed
ing and the brain nourishment. Paine S
celery compound is food for the brain and
nerves. 1t builds up the strength of the
body The saddest ignorance is for sick
person not to know the remedy that will
make him well. Fortunately, few people
have failed to hear of the remarkable
cures from the use of Paine's celery COM
pound.
For rheumatism, neuralgia, impure
blood, nervous diseases and kindred trou-
bles, it is a positive cure. The expert
mental efforts of scores and scores of So
called spring remedies with. which the
market is constantly recruited are in
startling contrast with the thoroughly
scientific way in which Paines celery
compound restores health and vigor to the
worn-out blood and nerves.
New strength, new life, new health
come from it's use-especially is this true
in the spring.
