Running the gantlet as a military
punishment was, 1t Is said, originated
by Gustavus Adolphus to punish
thieves In his army. 1t was borrowed
by the English from the Germans, who
copied 1t from Gustavus, and, being en-

America, was readily taken up by the

common outlet for more than two-thirds
of the arabic area Of the United States.
1t is small wonder, then, considering
the possibilities of this magnificent riv-
err, that there Is great interest in the
work the Government has undertaken
In an effort to restore 1t to the position
1t once occupied in the commercial
world. 1t is comparatively but few
years ago that the Mississippi was the
dominating influence in all business re-
lations between the two great sections
of the country. The advent of great
trunk lines Of railroads saw the diver
sion Of the river traffic to other chan
nels and the days of boating seemed
forever past. The river was neglected
and gradually has fallen into compare
tive disuse. That it will see the return
of the old days, with the enlargements
and benefits of modern ideas, is the
hope of all residnts of the great cite:
which rest upon its banks-a hope
which seems about to be realized
Uncle Sans Plans.
The Government appropriation of
Vt~JOoojOoc lol luS VI
Mississippi, which includes not only the
dredging of n channel of sufficient depth
to admit of the passage of large steam
ers, but the establishment Of adequate
means of protection to those districts
which are periodically flooded by its
overflow, is but the beginning of stu
pendous operations which shall make
the river In every sense the grandest
waterway In the world. With one con-
dition, however. The work of the en-
gineers must show in practical way
that the great rushcs of water which
come down from the North, from the
Ohio and the Missouri can be success
fully withstood. That only will deter
mine the future of the river. 1t will be
the deciding balance In the scale which
shall decide whether or not the Missis-
slppi shall become waterway capable
of bearing deep sea ships upon its
bosom, thus opening up to the South
the commerce of Chicago and the whole
northern lake region. That such re-
suit will be attained, the greatest en-

lucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. To
the westward again are almost limit
less areas Of undeveloped and unex-
plored forests, where conditions would
be most favorable to the production of
all the crops of the middle ATTITUDES.
Beginning at the Gulf, at the south,
first comes the natural home of rice and
sugar cane; then the cotton belt of the
future, and then the corn lands of the
Middle West. The Mississippi's source
is practically at the door of the cereal
country Of the North. Here also ores
and fuels and building materials are
cheaply assembled. This region might
indeed under favorable circumstances
become the dominant manufacturing
center of the American continent. No
other part Of the country possesses ia
cilities for navigation SO extensive, con-
venient and safe.
The mouth Of the river at the Gulf is
within easy reach of the Caribbean Sea,
along whose shores are countries whose
development has scarcely begun, while
the Isthmian Canal will in the near flu
ture open lines of commerce to new re-
gions along the Pacific coast. All the
great water courses, from the Rockies
to the Alleghenies, and from the great
lakes to the Gulf, are tributary to this
noble stream, which thus becomes the
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1902-10-22
The wit of General Grant.

Ina recently published life of General
Grant the author gives several anec-
dotes connected with his Subject,
these two being refreshingly smart:
The General was not an admirer Of
Mr.. Sumner, and when some one said,
"Mr. Sumner does not believe in the
Bible" Grant said, mo, suppose not;
he didn't write It,"
Attracted by horse driven by a
butcher, he purchased the animal at e
cost of five hundred dollars, and invit-
ed Senator Conkling to drive behind
it. The Senator criticised the animal,
and said, II think should prefer the
money to the horse" "That is what the
butcher thought" said General Grant.

gineers produced by this country be-
lieve. They are working enthusiastical-
ly with the idea of making good" and
are sanguine that the work Of the ensu-
ing four years. which is the time limit
set by the Government, will be us fruit
full of results us shall satisfy the most
hopeful. In 1905, there will not be a
crossing" shallower than eight feet,
all the way from the Gulf to st. Paul.
What this means can now be realized
only by those who are familiar with the
Mississippi and Its workings. 1t can
then be seen by all, for with channel
of eight to many times eight feet, river
traffic will be sight worth seing.
In four years. however, it is practl.
cally certain that vessels of medium
draft will be able to come up as far
as st. Louis. To get minimum depth
Of ten feet, the estimated cost is $685.

"Cheer! Cheer! Cheer." So writes
the young president of Adrian College.
And he voices great truth. All of
us cannot do great or brave things.
But we can all cheer. When strong
man with sincere purpose stands up in
the political arena and fights for the
peoples rights we can all cheer. When
any man In whatsoever station does
his duty we can cheer. When any wom-
an holds loyal purpose and Is true to
1t we caa cheer. And do you know
that in battle hearty cheer is half the
victory? The line wavers. The shot
and shell dectmate the ranks. It is the
critical moment. Then the leader
shouts Cheer! Cheer! Cheer!" Nor
al courage and the wild thrill of EN-.
thusiasm take the place of the stub
born but failing physical bravery and
the redoubt is won. Many a brave.
soul fails In the battle of life for the
want of cheer. Some men feel In
stinctively the need of cheering and
deliberately seek to extort It from their
fellow men. They compel the world to
cheer. Others, fully us brave, wait for
1t, long for it and die without it. Cheer!
Cheer! Cheer! 1t costs little effort.
1t Is the natural impulse Of the heart
when the heart Is rid of selfishness and
jealousies and envyings. You may not
be able to win a single victory in life
for yourself, but you can win hun
dred victories by proxy IL YOU will
cheer, when you have an opportunity,
a hundred stirring souls. Blessings
on the head of him who heartily cheers
another on his way. When he gets to
the portals of heaven and st. Peter
asks what he has done he need not
hang his head when he says: II
cheered.'
