HIS TURN CAME.

A friend who, for some reason never
fully explained, had been exempt from
the ravages of cholera in his large herd
of hogs, while all his neighbors had at
different times had their herds de-
pleted, thought he had a cinch on
the disease and was given very re-
spectful attention at the farm institute
while he explained his methods Of pre-
venting the disease, which he did in a
somewhat boastful manner. A miser-
able skeptic in the audience unfeelingly
ventured the opinion that it was not
his treatment and care which prevent
ed the disease, but just a case of his
turn not having yet come, at which
the speaker got quite huffy. But the
next year when the institute met he
could hardly be got to say word about
hogs and when cornered was forced to
admit that his hired men, were bury
ing the last of herd of 200 hogs when
he left home that morning.

1srE DIFFERENCE.

There is an almost utter lack among
the farm help in this country, whether
it be the hired man or the hired help
in the farm home, Of that patience, do
cility and contentment with existing
conditions which is such q marked fea-
ture of the same class Of help in Euro
pean countries The hired man here
never takes real kindly to working for
some other man and is made continu-
ally discontinued by his ambition to get
a farm of his own and boss some other
fellow, while the hired girl stays more
as an accommodation and to help out
in pinch and is ready to run off with
the hired man at the drop of the hat.
In Europe it is very different. There
the ability to hire other people confers
certain amount of prestige and re-
spect, and those who are hired, not rid
of the cringing and slavish inherited
tendency born of the earlier despot-
isms, ever refer with pride to the fact
that they are in the employ of those
who hire them, and they are stayers,
too, for the domestic twenty years in
the service of one family and the farm
hand working on the same farm and
doing the same work his grandfather
did are no uncommon things to find.

A RE11.n1E rAnM HAND

About the best sort of farm hand is
some fellow who has had bad luck with
some girl-cut out or got the mitten-
who has settled down into the steady
and methodical ways Of confirmed
old bachelor-a fellow who wants moth
ing more to do with the girls and takes
up the routine of his daily duties with
a reliability and fidelity Of an old work
horse. He is almost certain to be a
mighty handy and useful hand around
the house and a great help to the wo-
men folks. Then he eats well and
sleeps well. and you always know
where he j. after 8 o'clock at night.
While in sentimental way there is
something alinc t pathetic about such
a man, he is 49,. he less a most USE

worth So month more on q farm
than some chap who works all day and
runs all night

SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCEs.

Speaker Henderson, of the national
House of Representatives, is opposed
to tariff revision if letter said to have
been received by a Waterloo man
contains a true expression Of that gen
tleman's views. Mr.. Henderson says:
"My judgment is that it is more I'M
portant at this time, in the interest OF
this country, to reduce taxation upon
ourselves and stop to a proper degree
the influx of the peoples money into
the public treasury With the coun-
try in an unparalleled prosperous con
dition, | can not believe it wise to be.
gin a reduction which inevitably Will
open up the whole field of revision
and thus put serious check upon the
business of the country. The moment
1 the country understands there is to be
a revision of the tariff jobbers will
suspend large purchases. This will
!, compel a reduction of the pay rolls
and serious business calamity might
ensue.''
In contrast to this Senator Dolliyel

says the tariff must and shall be revis-
ed else we shall be compelled to admit
that congress has become impotent in
the presence Of a question like this.
The. junior member of the Iowa dele
cation in the upper house on this ques-
ton says:
"There has never been time time,
there never will be a, time when an
American industry making an unequal
ed and even precariouS fight with for
eign competitors, will not find among
our people a spirit of encouragement
and helpfulness as expressed in the
laws of the United States. And yet
nobody is any longer blind to the fact
that with many industries the United
States rates of duty which in 1897
We're regarded as reasonable, have
since that time owing to curious de-
velopmcnt OF our industrial and com
mercial life, become unnecessary, and,
in many cases absurd. They stand on
our statute books today no longer a
shield for American labor but they
have in many cases been turned as a
weapon Of offense against the Ameri-
can market themselves. l DeileVe that

THE NATIONAL GAME LAW.

The Lacey game law, which is OF
national prominence and of national
limits, has had and is now having
great influence in the protection of
game. The reports show that the
laws are generally observed, as for in
stance in the seizure of 1870 quail,
974 prairie chickens, 387 kinds of mis-
5cellaneous game and 2,60S plume
birds making total of nearly 10000
birds. These cases originated in
twelve states and territories. This
refers only to the interior states and
territories. The effects are felt on the
coast where the sea birds require and
do receive protection. If there were
no restrictive measures the birds of
the country would become extinct
within a few years, without any cor
responding benefits. Major Lacey has
been subjected to some criticisms on
this great measure but he can pear
them. Science, economic observations
and good sense, all approve the Lacey

WAS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED.
Resolution Offered by j. H. r. Spill
man at Supervisors Convention.

The omission in the published re-
port of four words in the resolution
offered by j. H. r. Spilman, members
of the board of supervisors Of Wapel-
10 county, at the annual meeting of
the boards. of supervisors of the state
in Des Moines this week changed the
entire meaning of the resolution. One
part of the resolution reads authorize
the levy of four mills, etc." This
should read Authorize the levy of
not to exoseed four mills, ETC." In this
form the resolution was unanimously
adopted sSs it has developed that the
present limit is not sufficient TO meet
the dema nds of some of the counties
of the stale. The resolution as adopt
ed by theJ convention, and which was
presented by Mr.. Spilman makes a
provision to prevent the tax payers
from manly personal damage suits re-

THE COUNTRY SUMMER HOME.

A city resident writes us for sugges-
tons how best to utilize and improve
a country home place of ten acres.
Very much will depend upon the natu-
raj tastes of the owner. A good many
city people want all the conveniences,
appliances and comforts of their city
home transferred to their country sum-
mer home. We would not. THIS sum-
mer outing in the country will be every
way more enjoyable and beneficial if
invested to as large an extent as posi-
BILE with purely rural surroundings, an
old fashioned country home, with its
accessories, being the ideal type. There
should be cows for milk and cream, a
garden to furnish vegetables and small
fruits and poultry in good numbers.
Dress suits, opera glasses and silver
ware should be left with the gas, cleo
trio lights, street cars telephones, six
course dinners, buffers and liveried
coachmen. The kids should be turned
out barefooted to revel in country lib
erty and rejoice in rural pleasures.
Make the bill of fare of the plainest-
milk, cream, eggs, fruits and vegeta-
bles. Recognize no company save as it
may accept the family fare. Leave
The Ladies' Home Journal and fashion
and society periodicals at home and
wear a seventy-tive cent Mother Hub
bard wrapper if woman and chip
hat and ten dollar suit Of hand me
downs" if a man, and let the kids be as
near little heather in physical sense
as they are capable of being. Shut out
everything which savors Of formallty,
style and social burdens. Rest and re-
cuperate. Get tanned and toughened.
Live close to the earth, and return in
the fall to city shams, hypocrisy and
insincerity renovated in mind and body.

FOR HoMEsTEADERS.

A few days ago the Courier printed
a telegram dated at Guthrie in which
it was said that the federal officials
had said that homesteaders must be
on their claims by February 6. In
quiries have come into the Courier of
flee regarding the authenticity of the
telegram The following from the
Lawton Republican is further evil
dence that the information is right,
Notwithstanding the fact that those
who sought land in the new country
believed that they had six months
from the date they filed on their
claim to settle on it:
1T has been announced from the
best of authority that it will be best
for all homesteaders to be on their
claims by February g. BY this the
costs of contest may be- avoided
1t is not held that this would be suf-
fcient, grounds for contest but the
homesteader should be on the safe
| side.

his opinion the homesteaderl should
be on his claim by that date. There
are always plenty of fellows ready tt
file a contest on the merest pretex
and for such the honest homesteade
should be on the lookout.
The lawyer looking for contes
fee has his eye on all such claims AM
will jump in for himself or some eli
ent at the earliest possible moment
From this it appears that the tim
for settling on homestead is 81:
months from the date of the drawing
which occurred August 6, instead o
six months from the time the filin
was made,the latter in some instance
being in the neighborhood of thirt

The action of Hon. A. w. Buchanan

The action of Hon, A. w. Buchanan
of Wapello county, in introducing a
bill in the legislature, regulating the
sale of cocaine and providing punish
ment for the illegal sale thereof, will
have the hearty approval of the entire
state. The cocaine evil has grown to
such proportions that radical meas
ures are necessary in dealing with the
same. Mr.. Buchanan's bill, as pub
lished in the Courier last week. is
carefully drawn, fully covers the situa-
ton and it is to be greatly hoped that
it will become law at this session
Of the legislature.

THE DISASTER AT LOST CREEK,

THE DISASTER AT LOSi CREEN'
Seldom has this section of Iowa
been shaken as It was by the terrible
explosion in mine at Lost Creek Fri
day in which twenty men lost their
lives and probably one hundred per
sons near relative.
The men who go down to the sea in
ships carry their lives in their hands
but the men who delve deep into the
earth in search of an indispensable
commercial product run still greater
risks.
The news of The terrible calamity
sent thrill of horror through the
state Sympathy for the bereaTed
families of the men was read in the
face of every man and woman who
stopped in front of the Courier bllle-
tin board which chronicled the awful
news. In every mining camp in The
United States where suCh calamitles
are brought more directly home, the
women will pray to be delivered from
like experiences and the minds of the
men will revert from a mental pic
ture of the scene to the face OF the
wife and mother, grip the dinner buck
ct little harder and enter the place
where repetition OF the occurrence
would be easy.
The miner is hero. Few. people
realize it fully, he least of all. With
him along with the rest of the world
it is a race for existence. The world
takes into but little account the fact
that he has to battle with the imper-
fections of man made things design
ed to overcome the tendencies OF ma
ture, added to that which the man
above ground has to contend with. a
weak timber may cause vacancy in
one or a dozen humble homes. An un
skillfully placed shot may create hay
oc or a hundred, yes thousand, 9th
.er things may cause the busy world tc
pause and shudder with horror at the
awful fate of the men who delve. into
the ground.
A wave of sympathy goes out to the
stricken families in the little town OF
the edge of Mahaska county. The
dead need no epitaph except tina
which every miner will give them
Gle knew the perils of his calling
from necessity he faced them and
died.
Such things are much more than in
cidents.

A BIG FALL IN TEMPERATURE.

In middle December a remarkable
fall in temperature occurred all
through the central west-a drop in
the mercury Of SO degrees inside of
thirty-six hours. 1t is needless to say
that this was trying experience not
only for men, but for stock and all
sorts of fruit. Only the hardest types
can stand such extremes of tempera
ture. Compare such radical changes
of temperature with the climate Of
some of those Elysian corners of the
earth where the entire variation Of the
temperature is not to exceed 20 degrees
during the entire year and it is easy to
understand why some forms of vegeta-
BILE and animal life may exist in one
place and not in the other.
