COURAGE OR FATAL1sM7
J@pane.e Soldier Who Went to tho
Front Expecting to Be
Killed.

The little lieutenant who lived just
across the street from O. X. Da-
Wis, the New York Suns war CORE
spondent in Tientsin, said to him one
day:
II should be very happy to have
you visit me in my home in Japan
after this war is over, but expect
to be killed."
He was perfectly sincere and unaf-
fected, says Everybody's Magazine.
His belief did not alter his attention
to duty in the slightest. He went
wherever he was ordered as gayly as
if it were to feast, no matter If
che field was swept with bullets.
When l saw him in Picking q day OF
so after the legation had been re.
lieved, he said, simply:
perhaps I shall not be killed this
time, after ALL"
Would you call it courage when
such man as that leads little col.
umn against a stone wall, and, when
he can't get over at first, sits down
and waits until he can? He hasn't
any conception of courage. He is
brave, but with the bravery of bull
dog. There is more real courage in
the old hen futtering over her littla
chickens to protect them from the
threatened hawk. IF it were not for
them she would flee fast enough from
the danger.
There you have the essential differ.
ence between courage and bravery.
and between the American soldier
and the japanese or Russian. The
orientals, counting the Russian as an
oriental, are dangerous men to meet,
because they have no care for the
result. How much more dangerous
is the man who sees through the
end and discounts it all, yet goes
ahead to the desperate finish.

GOOD enovon IF you SING.

Sing! Let your heart be happy:
Pretty good world of ours!
Plenty of Joy and contentment.
Plenty of sunlight and flowers;
Love enough here for the millions;
Share it wherever it's found.
And sing till great, gladstone chorus
Re-echoes the world around.
May be that fortune has stunned you;
Just think It Is better gone by.
And spring to your feet where you're
signing,
And carol song to the sky.
Sing! There's a sun in the heavens!
Help it to brighten the day;
Sing. and the world will be better,
Ana roses will bloom by the way.
Sing, for you know it's contagious;
Others will join in your song.
Begetting the love and the laughter
That carries this old world along;
All nature around you will hum it,
While beacons Of goodness will swing
Out from the gloom of the darkness
It's a good enough world IL you sing.

COMBINING WITH THE DEAD.
A strong and Universal Tendency Of
the Living That Has Survived
Attempts at Suppression.

The tendency to commune with the
dead and to pray for them is strong
and universal. 1t survives whatever
systems of whatever creeds men may
invent for its suppression. Samuel
johnson is professedly stanch Prot
estant, bristling with prejudices, but
a delicate moral sense enters the rug
ged manhood of his nature, says a
writer in Donahue's Magazine. In
stinctiyely he seeks to commune with
his departed wife after the manner
dear to the Catholic heart, but forbid
den to the Protestant. He keeps the
anniversary Of her death and he COM
poses a beautiful prayer, full of Cath
Ole sentiment, for the repose of her
soul. Tennyson has the same thought
beautifully expressed in his "Morte
d. Arthur" He makes this hero say;
more things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams Of. Wherefore,
let thy voice
Rise like fountain for me night and
day."
The great Cardinal Newman, before
he found rest within the bosom of the
church, penned these beautiful lines:
''Help Lord. the souls which Thou hast
made,
The souls to Thee so dear.
| In prison. for the debt unpaid M
OF sins committed here, .sssyt
Later in life, when his wanderings
in quest of truth were over, he wrote
that exquisite poem, 'The Dream of
Gerontius,' in which he causes the
angel to say to the souls it tenderly
consigns to the golden prison:
Farewell. but not forever! brother. dear,
Be brave and patient on thy bed Of sor-
/ row:
Swiftly shall pass thy night Of trial here,
| And I will come and wake thee on the
morrow"

comforted, he sat down in decent
room and made an inventory. The
purse contained $40 in gold, some sill
yer, and, attached to bit of ribbon, a
little silver Filipino coin. A card in
scribed with Miss Moore's name in
full and a number on California street
offered every facility for the return
of his treasure-trove.
That night the young man was too
worn out for reflection, but over his
breakfast the next morning he re-

make fresh start in life, and in time
liquidate his indebtedness to Miss

with the never-satisfied longing after

Dorothy Moore was the central figure,

made the North Western Rail

same for factory purposes.
j. B. Lyon, President of the
Casket Company, is in receipt
of a letter from headquarters in
which the offer is declined, the
Company officials stating they
have received a higher bid than
that offered by the Casket Co.
Just who the higher bidder is no
one appears to know, but a re-

the building is to be remodeled

It's a question in these days
of prosperity whether the bust
ness men of Iowa, this refer
ring to those who buy and sell
things, are making very much
money. Competition in all lines
was never more fierce. The
expenses of running a mercar-
tile house are greater than ever
before. The delivery system
has added tremendously to the
COST Of goods. It's nothing UNI
common these days for a butch
er to be called up by phone
and asked to send up 10 cents
worth of steak. The same
woman rings up the dry goods
man and has two spools of No.
so white sent up. Then she
rings up the druggist, says she
would like the prescription the
doctor left there filled and de-
livered as soon as possible.
Some one intimates there is a
fair profit in this deal even if it
is delivered, but the same
druggist will deliver a scent

POST INTERNATIONAL CAS-.
kET COMPANY.
with Headquarters Here.

One of the new and impor-
tant institutions of this country
has it's headquarters in Missou-
ri Valley, we refer to the Post
International Casket Company.
This company owns patents COW
ering the United States, Cana
da, and England.
AS this method of manufac-
ture is new to many of our rea-
ders, a brief description will be
of interest. The Post Patents
cover the processes and devices
together with certain forms,
used in the transformation of
straw-board into caskets and
other articles of commerce. By
this process an article is pro-
duced that is light, strong, du-
rable, antiseptic, and when made
into a casket is easily rendered
waterproof and hermetic.
Three factories are now do
ing a prosperous and growing
business; the one at Manorville,
Pa, has a standing order from
the government, and is enlarg-
ing its plant; the factory estab-
lished at Schoolcraft, Michigan,
is nicely housed in a splendid
building and is looking we'll af-
ter the needs of that territory.
while our local factory is -four
ishing under the excellent SUI
pervision of the present man
agement, and is planning much
greater achievements for the
immediate future.
Tho present plans of the Post
International Casket Company
are of necessity broad and Of
the most comprehensive charac-
ter. A number of factories are
already under contract and 9TH
ers approaching completion.
The present contracts, together
with those that are sure to be
made in a few days, will keep
them busy for many months. -
10 meet the rush of business
that is upon them, the company
is making the most careful and
painstaking preparation; the
factory is being thoroughly mas
tered, every detail being super
vised by the most competent
person attainable; Mr.. 7. L. Ira
cy, whose mechanical skill has
won for him the splendid repu-
tation of being one of our mas
ter workmen, and whose work
ing knowledge, gained by close
application to every detail, from
the time the factory was started
here, is we'll deserving of the
promotion he has received by
being given the position of SUI
perintendent of Installation.
Every person who isacquainted
with Mr.. Tracy will congratu-
late both he and the company.
Mr.. w. L. Douglas, who is
the Promoter for the company
in the U. S. and Canada, accom-
panied by Mr.. Tracy, will start
for Chicago tomorrow to ar
range for extensive operations,
Mr.. Tracy going to Wis

WEE ASA ADMISSION
Another 'Phcnc System May be
Installed In Missouri Valley
This Summer.
After several star chamber
sessions held during the past
two weeks a local capitalist who
y interested in the project of
an Independent Telephone
System in Missouri Valley to-
day authorized the statement
the citizens of Missouri Valley
may be soon asked to vote on
the proposition to grant a fran
chise permitting an lnaepend-
ent Telephone system to erect
their poles, string their wires
and operate another telephone
system in this city.
William Bowen, promoter
representing the Stromburg-
Carlson Telephone Company,
has been here frequently dur
ing the past two weeks and has
held several conferences with
those interested in the project.
Provided the movement
crystalizes into definite form
direct connection will be af-
forded by the new system with
all surrounding towns. The
promise is made that a SUBJ
scriber in Missouri Valley will
be able when the new system Is
installed. to step to his phone
and ring up Sioux City, Onawa,
Mondamin, Modale, Council
Bluffs, Omaha, and in fact all
cities and towns in this section
having telephone facilities.
In regard to our statement
in last evenings issue that the
Lighting and Heating system
was for sale, Mr.. Edgecomb,
president of the company, says
that they have received several
inquiries and offers within the
last six months and that the
stockholders feel that the same
amount of money invested in
any other way in Mo. Valley
would produce a better return
without the attending prejudice
and antagonism.
There was quite a frost last
night, but not enough to injure
the fruit.
W. H. Campbell left for
Audubon this morning, where
he goes to attend the Presby-
terry.
Attorney Frank Tamisiea is
