AGAINST VACCINATION.
L. A. Piehn, a Banker, Has Renewed
the Agitation Which He Com
menced Many Years Ago.
Especial Correspondence

lSpeClal Correspondence
L. H. Piehn, of Nora Springs, who is
president of the bank there and bank
at Rudd also, has renewed the agita-
ton, for which he has been standing
for many years, against vaccination.
He will attempt to so work up the agi-
tation against it that when smallpox
appears again in the state next fall,
as the physicians anticipate, there will
be organized resistance to the effort
to make people vaccinate. 1t is on ac-
count of his work against vaccination
that the legislature has failed to enact
laws compelling vaccination in this
state. His opposition originated at the
death of his sister in 1910 in Germany.
In 1894 his own daughter died from
blood poisoning, said to have been in
duced by vaccination. His sister died
of lockjaw. Mr.. Piehn came to this
country in 1858, locating at Chicago.
In 1860 he came to Iowa, settling at
Nora Springs. There he runs a bank
and has been mayor and treasurer Of
the school district. He is highly re-
spected and is wealthy. He spends
great deal of money pushing the agi-
tation against vaccination. He has
organized the Anti-Vaccination assoc
citation, which has branches in all parts
of the world.

She Mns Too Smart.

Two years ago an American woman,
visiting the south of France in the
spring, heard a good deal of talk
about certain Countess of Killar-
ney, who was also on a visit. She
looked the unknown up in a peerage
to see who she was and discovered
that, in the words of the immortal
Mrs. Prig. ''there amt no SIGH per-
son." Full of triumph, she waited
until the conversation turned on
Lady Killarney, and then she brought
out thunderbolt-the woman was
an impostor, there was no Lady Kill
larney, and she was downright sorry
that her friends were taken in. There
was pause. Then a smile began to
appear, and one of the ladies re-
marked, sweetly: Don't you really
know that Countess of Killarney is
the incognito of the duchess OF
York;" AS the duchess of York is
the wife of King Edwards son, heir
apparent to the British throne, there
was one American woman who
wished She had not been so smart

THE SCHOOL LAWS.
County Superintendent and the
State superintendent Are Some
what Mt Loggerheads.

State Superintendent Barrett has
been holding conferences for few
days with the county superintendent
of the state respecting school matters
He has discovered that there is diver
gence of views between himself and
the county superintendent as to the
Interpretation to be placed on some of
the laws relating to schools. For in
stance, he has held, and the attorney
general has sustained him, that it is
illegal for county superintendent to
issue certificates to teachers on exam
nations taken before other superin-
tendents. This practice, he has discov-
cred, has been quite common. More
over, the county superintendent are
inclined to persist in it. Other differ
ences of opinion have arisen. Mr.. Bar
rett has announced his intention of Sc
curing the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral on all mooted points for inclusion

j. Fl. Quick, special master in chan
Gerry in the United States circuit court
in Sioux City, found for o. A. Vickery

USED HIS TALENT.
An Impecunious French Noble Who
PrOfited by His Ability to
Make Salads.

M. BrillatSavarin in his Memoirs of
his time, gives the history of several of
the French mobiles who fled to England
to escape the guillotine. Among those
who found themselves penniless and
without profession or craft by which
to earn their bread was Comte d AL
bignac of old and noble family.
One day, while seated in cafe in
London, three or four young English
noblemen sat down at a neighboring
table to dine. Presently one of them
came to him and said: Monsieur, 1
have heard that all Frenchmen excel
in making salad. Will you do US the
favor of mixing one for us?"
D'Albignac hesitated, but then gayly
sat down with them and prepared the
salad. He had great skill. The men
ate with enthusiasm, and exchanged
cards with him at parting. But one of
them with the card pressed a sovereign
into his hand.
D'Albignac trembled with rage, but
quick second thought kept him silent.
He was nobleman. None of his race
had ever earned money. But why
should he not earn money? He had
this little art; why not use it to make
his bread? Was it not more honora BILE
than to live, as many of his fellow
refugees We're doing, on the charity Of
their friends? He bowed to the com.
pany and put the sovereign in his
pocket.
The next day he was asked to go to
large mansion where a dinner-party
was to be given, to dress the salads.
His salads became the fashion. He was
summoned to every large entertain
ment, and his skill enabled him to
charge large sums. He remained in
London for few years, and then, with
his savings, returned to France,
bought a small estate in Limousin, re-
sumed his rank, and lived comfortably
for the rest of his life.

Mrs. T. A. Watson, wife of farmer
living near Searsboro, saved an Iowa
Central passenger train from going
through a burning bridge. A long
wooden structure, three miles north of
Searsboro, on a sharp curve, took
fire, presumably from Goals dropped
by a freight engine. The smoke was
noticed by Mrs. Watson, who, know
ing the passenger train from the
south was nearly due, ran to point
south and Tagged the train just in

LOVE is LAW.

Roughly In the walls of time
Progress rings Its runic rhymei
But the human heart doth feel
More than wisdom can reveal;
And the force that battles fate
On proud knowledge doesn't wait.
For, through all the stored strife
OF the onward sweep of life
There's power that thrills the living
throng
That moves each soul with an undyirg
song!
o harbinger of rare delight!
o reVealer of the right!
In ma teral- burdened space
Never vert thou given place!
Yet dost thou light each darkened way,
Thou soul-f1ame and celestial ray!
Ruler over good and i'll
Stronger than the strongest will,
Thou art the Law of Love that ever pleads
For higher living and for helpful deeds.
Long in labyrinthine ways,
Through the quick recurring days,
One procession works and waits
BY life's outward swinging gates!
And wherever smoke ascends,
And wherever faith defends,
Lo, a spirit flames above
All the toiling-it is Love!
The love that lives
In one who gives
His life to help all humankind;
Who abors late
With purpose great
The ways of happiness to bind.
Love Is law! the human heart
Feels it cen in busy mart!
Where worship is, where sacrifice
Conceals itself by strange device,
There this law of life prevails.
And no true love ever fails;
Work Is but the outward show
"A al
Who hopes for peace and dreams of broth
erhood
Holds Love to be the only guide to good.
Change that in material things
Beauty from the barren brings,
In the soul-world serves to show
Character from failure grow;
And the histories of place,
Annals of each buried race
Wise tradition, dear and old,
Are as naught. till Love be told.
When from the heart this ruling force shall
fly
What matters life or death If duty die?
Lo, the motive in good deed,
And the leaven In each creed,
Strength of arm and help of hand,
Plenteous increase in the land,
Temples builded. public veal,
Words that doubling sorrow heal,
The truth that's told on printed page
And all the uplift of an age,
Are but the light
OF Loves great might
That through mans progress ever flows;
And will is vain
If conscience reign
Not in the life that merely knows.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.

Senator Douglass is opposed to the
Soldiers Home movement, and has
introduced bill to make it unlawful
to receive confederate veterans into
county poor houses, but requiring
the County Commissioners to give
aid to INDECENT eNConfederates at
their homes.
This is commen dable act upon
the part Of Senator Douglass, and we
can very readily understand his feel
ing in the matter, 1t is certainly a
sad sight, that reflects discredit upon
any county, TO see the MANNED or
helpless soldier, who has given the
best days of his life in the service Of
his country, and what he considered
the protection Of hi J home and rights,
sent to the county poor house in his
declining age and helplessness. They
have their home ties, and it would be
a great pleasure to allow them to
spend the few years yet remaining to
them around their firesides and amid
familiar faces and surroundings.
But to do this will require funds. To
get the necessary funds to carry this
out successfully will require an act
OF the legislature to raise them, or a
special county levy. We believe that
the amount that would be necessary
to build Soldiers Home would go
long way in this direction. The
resolution is good ono but don't
stop short of fixing way to carry it
out. The following is the bill by
Senator Douglass:
"Section !. That on and after the
approval OF this act by the governor
it shall be unlawful to commit any
INDECENT ex-Confederate soldier to
any poor house or almshouse, but
the county board Of commissioners
Of the conntics Of this State shall, in
their discretion, give county aid to
the INDECENT ex-Confederate soldiers
Of their respective counties, at the
home Of such soldier, or at the home
of some relative or friend.
Section 9. That no x-Confederate
soldier shall be dsfranchised by rea-
son Of his having received, or receiv-
Ing, such aid as aforesaid.

OF acts inconsistent with this act are

that the roots OF the crops will c0nse-
