"What doest thou here ?" is heaven $ call, summoning every Respondent, dis couraged soul to duty and action.
 It sounds to us in our lethargy, pro- duced by whatever benumbing cause loss of goods or friends, fear of disaster or death, sense of incapacity or shame, conviction of cowardice or sin; it pene- trateS our home or heart-careS, our chosen or enforced solitude, wherever we may have hidden from duty or op- pOrtunity and calls us out into the clear open where real work and solid achievement and splendid victories await us. To politely decline or coldly refuse these Divine summons is to as sure our failure and defeat. The spring time farmer who idly means, "It is useless to try to compete with foreign labor," is already a candidate for the poor-house and the cemetery. The citizen who prophecies nothing but national disaster will probably take ad- vantage of the bankrupt law.

 FORE DRIVEN FROM HIS HILLTOP PARISH: BEGINS ANEW IN THE VAL

 THE PROBLEM.-BY ROLLIN LYNDE
 HARTT IN THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.
 When the hill farmers of western Massachusetts want to frighten little children, they tell them that Rollin Lynde Hartt will get them. A hill- town parson, lately expelled from his parish (the farmers put cats in his well), has told me so. ! He and I are not loved in the hills. Guess why. In my own pet hill town made three fu- tile attempts to establish village inn provement society; tried to start a travel club; tried to bring in good books. No wonder the natives regard ed me as dangerous man. Defeated in my dark designs, came out of that miserable village and published diag- nosis of it's degeneracy, prescribing the social settlement as a remedy. But, mind you, l didn't call the village by name, and I drew my characters and my local color from several villages and made of them composite picture
 Then, in defiance of my sacred copy right, the one particular village began to pose as Sweet Auburn" land talked of tar and feathers. But worse man
 than I-because more determined is this jovial -parson fellow. Going with missionary intent to the saddest of decayed villages, and remaining there three years and more in the face of the most sickening circumstances, he strove to uplift his disheartened parishioners. He even tried to build up the town by inducing the people to come and rehabilitate the abandoned farms. But when the natives saw the ruined houses repaired and the tum- ble down barns rebuilt and the towns population increasing, vast distress came over them. Degenerates love de- generacy, loathe change, are staggered by the suggestion of progress so the par son was forwith marked for decapita- tion. The villagers waited their

FRENCH TINE STANDARD.
Effort to Secure Uniform System by
Government Act.

0OV6TnTlcuS NV
Paris Jan. 24.-At the next meeting
of the French society for the advance
ment of science the astronomical Sec
ton provided to demand the support of
the rest of the society to petition to
the government praying for the estab-
fishment OF national hour, Paris being
the center whence all French cities
shall henceforth reckon time.
According to the trainers of the Pc
tition, there are three methods of reck-
oning time in use in France. First, To-
cal time, which varies in the most COM
plcated manner; second, Paris time,
reckoned by the observatory; third,
railway time. These different methods
of reckoning time not only cause great
inconvenience in the transaction Of or
binary business, but also interfere Sc
riously with scientific experiments in
the study OF natural phenomena.
Camille FlammarIon, the distinguish
ed astronomer, who warmly advocates
the project, said that is Is impossible
to ascertain the correct time In any
French city. the clecks varying as much
as twenty-seven minutes, according to
the method of reckoning preferred.
If the government should agree to the
proposed reform, 1t is likely that to IA
cilitate travelling two clocks will be
placed at all frontier stations, one rep
resenting the national time of France
and the other showing that of the con-
tiguous nation. The advocates of the
new system urge the fact that similar
plan adopted in Austrian and German
empires has resulted in much benefit to
the public, besides possessing scientific
value.

defined. 1t Is now recalled that the first
capital of Louisiana was established COG
years ago at a point upon the Mobile
river, just above Mobile, Ala, at which
time was established by Jean Baptiste
de Bienville, upon instructions from his
brother. Pierre d Iberville, Fort Louis de
la Mobile. 1t Is only in recent years that
Mr. Peter Joseph Hamilton, in his re-
searches for the purpose of compiling
his history, Colonial Mobile" settled
definitely that Fort Louis was at Twen-
ty-seven-m mile bluff. on Mobile river, the
second spot of high or solid ground
above Mobile. 1t having been deter
mined to celebrate the founding of the
first capital. about a week ago a num-
Der of men connected with the proposed
celebration visited the locality, and
found in the crunlbling banks of the
river the last bricks remaining of what
had been the magazine of the fort.
These bricks were II inches long, SIS
Inches wide and e-eighth of an inch
thick. and but partly baked, showing
they We're made in haste to meet the
demands OF the settlers. The well that
was in the fort was also located.
Last Wednesday and Thursday an
appropriate celebration of the 20oth an
neversary of the founding occurred.
The people of Mobile gave public
parade on Wednesday and fixed
bronze tablet upon the portico of the
court house. bearing the following in
raised letters: '1702 To the glory of
God and in honor of LIE Moyne d'Iber-
vile, LIE Moyne de Bienville, 102."
On Thursday, at Twenty seven-mile
bluff, the people erected a large stone
to mark the site of thu first capital Of
Louisiana and Fort LOUIS said stone
being 4x2x2, upon a cement foundation,
and bearing this inscription: This
stone was erected on this spot Jan. %,
1902, by the citizens of Mobile, to COM
memorate the 200th anniversary of the
founding here of Fort Louis de la Mo
bile Jean Baptiste lie Moyne, sieur de
Bienville, and Pierre lie Mcyne, sieur
d,Iberville."
Iowans are interested in this event
because it reveals to them the site of
their first capital.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Marion Register thinks the word

newspapers.
The Sioux City Journal observes that

Ledger, "do not care much for elections

have an Allison and Dolliver, or, IN

Iy to succeed them in the near future"
TIL Des Moines Register believes last
wears drouth in the west helped Iowa
lands, and that the unequaled demand
for Iowa farms during the past four
months was because Iowa raised three
fourths of crop of corn last year, while
the corn crops of other states of the
great corn belt were generally killed by
the extreme heat and drouth during
July and August of last year. The Reg

We never become interested in our pro-

Peter Quinn Once Wealthy, Dies {
Homeless Wanderer.


New York, Jan. 24.-Peter Quinn, 80
Port Chester n. Y, but in his later
years homeless wanderer, died Thurs
day and was buried yesterday in the
Rye cemetery. He and his brother owed
their downfall to fortune of $4,000,
which their father. Peter Quinn,
wealthy land owner, bequeathed to
them. Thomas, after spending his share
In high living ended his career two
years ago in the Westchester county
aims house by cutting his throat.
Peter travelled thru Europe with va
let, saw the pope and crowned heads and
returned home pennilees to lead the life
of a tramp. He was a well-known
character in Port Chester. AS he went
about the streets begging for money for
drink, he would be pointed out as the
man who once made a special trip to
Ireland to break a bottle of wine on the
tomb of Dan O'Connell.
Quinn was born in Port Chester. AT
the time of his fathers death he was
but years old. When Peter became
of age he decided to indulge in a long
cherished desire to take trip abroad.
With a valet named Edward Dorsey he
sailed for Liverpool. Quinn made his
Headquarters in Liverpool, where he and
his valet were arrested twenty times
for intoxication and disorderly conduct.
They went to Ireland and then to the
continent They did not return until
they had spent their last cent. Dorsey
died and Quinn drifted about the coun-
try. eking out an existence as best he
could Gradually he descended to
scrubbing the floors of bar rooms and
begging money for drinks.
Whats the use to do anything" he
would say. II have realized the only
ambition I ever had. That was to see
Europe. Nov there is nothing else to
strive for"
