LOYAL TO COUNTRY.

Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, of Chicago,
was one of the speakers before the
Midland Chautahqua at Des Moines,
and his talk was devoted to the Jew
ish people. He denied emphatically
the report that the Jews contemplate
the establishment of political ma
tion in Palestine, or that they lack in
patriotism to the country of their
adoption. To-day continued DR..
Hirsch, the Jew is as loyal to the flag
of the country he lives in as any 9TH
er citizen. He thinks German
thoughts, talks German words, drinks
German beer and sings German songs.
In France the Jew is French, display
ing his loyalty at all times. In En-
gland the Jew is English. AS many
Jews go to war for Great Britain as
the members of any other religious
faith. ALI of the English regiments
are thickly sprinkled with Jews. In
South Africa the Jews and Catholics
are held back by law, or they would
now be helping the Beers in the
struggle for freedom. In America it
is hardly necessary to describe the
loyalty of the Jew Every regiment
which went to war for America
against Spain contained Jews. Even
the Seventh regiment of my state,
Illinois. contained Jews. This is re-
markable because the Seventh is an
Irish regiment, almost the last place
one would look for Jew. The Jews
of America have always displayed
their loyalty" ..'

A PRISONERS THOUGHTs.


No one is hankering after, the ex-
perience, yet it is none the less in
teresting to know what a man thinks
who is serving a life sentence in
prison. James Younger, one of the
desperadoes who has just been par
doned from the Minnesota peniten-
tiary, submitted to a long interview
by a Minneapolis Tribune reporter.
Judged by his words, he is truly pen
itent and will go forth a reformed
man. In the course of his remarks
he said:
"God knows what it is that men
fear who are shut up for life. / think
it is that a man becomes afraid of
himself-doubtful of his ability to
sustain the awful routine of life un-
der restraint. 1t is not the prison
that hurts, it is splendid institu-
ton. A well behaved man can live
here in entire physical comfort, but
the human mind requires a wider
range of activity than that possible
behind stone walls. The prisoner
who desires TO live out his sentence
without mental deterioration must
develop mental activities thought of
outside a place like this. l...
For many years have never per-
mitted myself to harbor a bad
thought about anyone. Mind, do
not say have not had such thoughts.
They fash into mind and would take
root and grow there IL not at once
cast out. My method has been when
so assailed by my evil genius, to de-
liberately force train OF thought on
another and more pleasant subject.
1t Is hard to do, but it can be done.
A long time ago down in Missouri
l knew an old lady about 20 years
old whose husband was about 80,

Springfield, III, Register: Many

to advertise: Look at Keokuk Iowa.
1t is said that in no city do physi-
clans SO flourish as in Keokuk and
the percentage OF ill-health among
the residents of that city is very
light. How, then, is all this ex-

Nearly half page is taken up by
one or two-inch physician's ads and
these little ads do the business.

Train over Iowa Central q

A train load of threshing machines
arrived Tuesday night on the Iowa
Central. There were twenty big fiat
cars piled high with threshers, en-
gines and other harvesting machinery
and they created quite sensation at
the depot, The whistle OF the engines
is especially noticeable as it seems to
range from the howl of a dog to the
clang of q church bell. The train
was sent out by the Avery Manu-

The train was in charge of man
ager and about thirty assistants. The
entire company went about the city

EIGHT HOUR LAW

CARRIERS EIGHT HOUR LAW
On the first of July new order of
the postoffice department went into
effect prohibiting letter carriers from
working over eight hours per day.
This is in accordance with law
enacted In 1888 at the instance of the
labor unions. Under the decision Of
the supreme court ten years ago, a
carrier who works more than eight
hours each day is entitled to extra
pay. The men who had worked
overtime filed claims andlsit cost the
government nearly four million dol
lars to pay them. All extra time
was cut of, and no order issued to
postmasters was so stringent as that
no work over eight hours could be
done, This wrought great injustice
to the public, as frequently carr ers
