A CANDIDATES. DlscouRresY,

So far III this campaign of bitter con-
tentions the candidates themselves have
conducted a very dignified course, not
once has any one of them allowed him
self to say anything against the other
until Sidney Foster was interviewed by
newspaper man. 1t remains for Mr..
Foster, the candidate without single
delegate for him and without either the
good Judgment or kind counsel to with
draw under the circumstances, to at
tack the leading candidate by repeating
the pet charge of the railway coterie
that Mr.. Cummins can not be elected
when he is nominated.
1t will be remembered that the news
PAPER men in Des Moines first received
word of the Foster candidacy from the
notorious Hunter. 1t was Hunter who
urged the publica ton of Fosters letter
to Cummins before Mr. Cummins had
received it and at a time when Foster
himself denied that any letter had been
written. Since Cummins had entered
the field from Des Moines no one but a
fool would have thought of becoming a
second candidate for the same office
from that city However, Foster was no
fool The Hunter incident cleared him.
He had been given promises of railway
support which meant much. 1t is re-
ported in Des Moines that stenograher
from his own office was fool enough to
confide to friends that Foster was a
sure winner because he had such sup
port Foster was enticed by alluring
promises, but when he found other can
didates in other sections with the same
promises he ought to have seen that he
was being used as tool. The T.-R. has
all along contended that Foster was
worked but for him now to violate
the common courtesies of candidate
and repeat the charges against rival
made by his enemies, denies to him the
right OF even that explanation cor his
conduct. Hunter has used the Foster
candidacy in an attempt to politically
assassinate Mr.. Cummlns. 1t now looks.

friendship, as tho Mr. Foster was "wil-

SAVING INJURED CORN.

The Rockford Register, whose editor,
j. s. Trigg, is a leading agricultural
writer, offers this advice to farmers of
Iowa:
Not a few farmers. even In this vi
cinity, realize that their corn fields are
seriously injured, go damaged by the
long continued drought and the excess
sive heat that but few IL any ears will
form, even tho the stalks and leaves
remain green. There are many such
fields .on sandy and stiff clay soils or
where the corn is planted too thick or
where the crops have been poorly tend
ed which no amount of rain will help.
About such fields Of corn we want to
say a word 80 that the most may be
realized from them. Don't cut them UP
yet; let them alone till the last of Aug
ust or first Of September, when some OF
the nutritive properties at the command
of the plant and which would have gone
to form the ear will be stored up in the
stalk and be available as stock food. II
will be recalled that in 1894, when the
corn crop Of all the west was 80 badly
injured by a hot wind, the fodder saved
from the fields which failed to mature
an ear Of corn. was Of d specially valu-
able and nutritious character-much
more SO than corn fodder usually saved
Our advice In this is: let the corn stand
as long as possible before cutting; Their
cut up every hill, and buy enough OF
the cheap stock which Is already avail
able, to consume 1t. II the field is fired
that is, already wilted and turning
white, the sooner it is cut the better
but at this stage Of its life the plan
makes but poor fodder a best.

CHECKS AND BALANCES.

Now that the year 1901 is we'll ad-
vanced we may survey some of its dis
tinctive features in Industrial lines
showing where checks have been met
with and where balances in the matter
of good Judgment and caution have been
exercised. One Of the characteristic ten
denotes of a prosperous era is to inten-
slfy activity in every department OF
trade. In fact trade movement becomes
so vigorous, industry SO intense and ex-
penditure so great that wlseacres often
shake their heads and fear recation
This year manufacturing establishments
have been so rushed with orders that
mands made upon them. This mas been
q check that people have not relished.
Again, builders have been so busy that
they have not been seeking jobs, and
often they have been greatly delayed by
inability to get supplies. Many who
have contemplated improvements have
temporarily given them up, because
workmen We're all busy, allowing their
money to remain in banks. This has
be desirable, at least for brief period,
IL all the workmen needed and all the
materials wanted could be had, but, on
the other hand, there would be the ques-
ton of keeping such skilled workmen
always busy and materials always in
demand, and the balance OF good judg-
ment is against overstocking the mar
kets in these respects.
Early in the season great mania for
stock gambling was manifested in New
York. Prices of railroad and Industrial
stocks were run up SO high that all pru-
dent men knew reaction would come
and many feared money panic would
result. The reaction did come, but
money and business were not affected,
This was check that set prudent men
to thinking along safe lines and led to
caution.
Then came the hot weather and drouth
with Its threat Of destruction Of crops
and scarcity that would turn prosperity
into poverty and affect business every
where. This is check upon reckless
expenditures that still holds the nation
in suspense, yet 1t has not affected the
volume of business and its scare has
been largely discounted by change in
weather conditions.
Still another check hangs like cloud
over industry-the great steel strike.

reached a stage where industry is adj

several things that engender caution.

life. This sis the result Of development
along tasteful lines. The west will in-
prove in time. It is surprising to 60
upon the street and notice how little at
Itention is given to dress in some western
towns. Men are sometimes seen whose
clothing would not be classed as decent,
while women may be occasionally met
with spots on skirts or bedraEgled
fiounces that mar all other attractive
features. In many cases it can not be
attributed to poverty. In q large NUM-

TEACHING A YOUNG LARK.
How It's Mother Coaches 1t to HOP
About and Fly.

About and Fly
J. NJ. Barrie. the noted Scottish story
writer, in Scribner's Magazine told
how young lark got it's first lesson.
A baby lark had got out of its nest
sideways, a fall of n foot only, but a
dreadful drop for a baby.
"You can get back this way" its
mother said, and showed 1t the way.
But when the baby tried to leap it fell
on its back. Then the mother marked
out lines on the ground on which it
was to practice hopping, and it got
along beautifully so long as the mother
was there every moment to say, How
wonderfully you hopr'
''Now teach me to hop up" said the
little lark. meaning that it wanted to
fly, and the mother tried to do 1t in
vain. She could soar up, up, very
brayely, but she could not explain how
she did it.
wait till the sun comes out after
the rain" she said. hah remembering.
What is sun? What is rain?" the
little bird asked. "If you cannot teach
me to fly, teach me to sing"
"When the sun comes out after rain v
the mother replied, then you will
know how to sing"
The rain came and glued the littla
birds wings together.
Il shall never be able to fly or sing"
it walled.
Then of a sudden it began to blink
its eyes. for glorious light had spread
over the world, catching every leaf
and twig and blade of grass in tears
and putting a smile in every tear. The
baby birds breast swelled, it did not
know why; it fiuttered from the
ground, it did not know why.
''The sun has come out after the
rainP' it trilled. Thank you, sum-

JACK RABBITS FOR ALASKA.
Kansas Long Ears viii BE Imported
10 Northern Regions.

Charles Payne of Wichita. Kan, a
dealer in wild animals, shipped the
other night to the Alaska Commercial
company at Sitka ten pairs OF Kansas
rabbits. to become the ancestry OF
what the company hopes to see n
sturdy, numerous and thriving race OF
rabbits, says the Kansas City Times.
1t appears from the correspondence
that led to the purchase OF the Kansas
rabbits that there is n species of gray
wolf In Alaska whose fur is exceed
ingly valuable. This wolf seems to
be In process of extinction, but 1t was
recently discovered that the meat of
rabbits agreed with them, and it is for
the purpose Of saving the wolves that
the company referred to intends per-
petuating the rabbits.
The rabbits, when they arrive in
Alaska, will be placed upon an island
until enough OF them are produced to
stock the gray wolf regions, when
they will be turned loose to multiply
some more and become prey for the
wolves.
