The Primary Candidate.

Only four candidates have as yet an
nounced themselves for the republican
nomination for sheriff. 1t is quite an
expensive undertaking, and none but
these pretty well fixed financially can
afford to make the race. Every candi-
date has to pay ss25 spot cash to enter
and IS to each of the six republican
papers in the county making total of
$55. This is but small part OF the
cost.
One who has evidently passed through
the trying ordeal, and therefore should
know whereof he speaks, says: "The
candidate comes up like flower. His
friends fill him with false hope and at
mosphere. He smileth upon mankind
and sloppeth over with humor. He
kisseth the children and scattereth mi
crobes among the innocent babes. He
privately cheweth Glove when he
meeteth the preacher and as he con-
verseth with him he standeth to the
leeward and curbeth his breath with a
bit. He goeth home late at night with
beery breath and cold feet to fiery
wife. he riseth up before time and
hiketh out before breakfast, saying, Il
70 to see man. The dead beat Iieth
In wait and pulleth his leg to queens
taste. He 'naileth lie but before the
primary election day he runneth short
of nails. He giveth literally to the
church, he subscribeth good sum to
the band, contributeth good sum to
the poor whose barn was burned. He
) .sendeth small keg hither and large
one thither, and yields up his substance
with apparent alacrity."
After the primary has been pulled
off, three of the candidates find they
weren't I'm it, and each goeth to {
retired spot to mediate. He there
weepeth and waileth and gnssheth hi'
teeth, curseth his enemies and fl
nally comes forth from his retreat, {
wiser man, if he has decided to throttle
his desire'for political Office, than h'
was when he entered the arena of poll
tics.
The winner of course feels jubilsnt
but his trials and fluctuations do no
end with his nomination. He is thel
required to "chip in" literally to thu
election fund and continue electloneer
ing in the manner hereinbefore Sc
forth. If he is finally elected he a
once commences "laylng the pint" for
denomination. After serving one o
two terms he is usually "shelved" and
as fule, retires to private life financi
ally poorer than when he first paid hi
entry fee to the treasurer of the pr
mary committee.

w. R. C. Memorial Tribute.

at the last meetingof the w. II. q.
the following beautiful memorial was
read upon the d=ath of Mrs. E. M.
Carr, and resolutions of respect and con-
dolence were also offered the bereRved
relatives and friends.
Dickens has beautifully represented
Life as visible river, flowing through |
green meadows and over sand wastes
now calm, and now rapid and clear, to-
ward the invisible ocean of Eternity.
There are very few in this world who
have not been called, by the stern laws
of nature, to witness the passing away
of some near and dear friend, linked to
them by tender ties or enshrlned in
their bosoms and held sacred by q fer.
vent and pure affection.
The grave, insatiate in its demands,
has robbed nearly every one whom 1t
has spared of some fond being on
whom his eye rested with JOY, whose
presence gilded the gloomy pathway of
Life with the sunlight of happiness and
into whose congenial heart he poured
the inward treasures of his own spirit.
They have seen the flowers waste
and have seen the eye become lus-
terless. They have watched with
deep anxiety the progress of the dis
ease, which has palsied the fair form
and destroyed the strength of that
much loved friend; and when the last
respiration-the last sign of animation
has departed, oh how it wrings the
heart to realize that the spark of life
has fled forever.
| We gaze into the casket, and take the
last look at the earthly remains of that
loved one.
We can listen no more to her voice,
breathing eloquence and cheerfulness
We can no longer gaze upon her eyes
parking with affection and intelli-
gence. We shall meet her no more al
the social circle or the quiet tireside
Her bodily form has gone forever, and
we know of no scene in the drama o.
life more painful than that of FRIEND
parting with friend at the grave.
But we see giimmer of light.
There is no grief without some bene
ficent prov ision to soften its intensness
When the good and the lovely die, The
m emory of their good deeds, like the
m oonbesm on the stormy sea, lights
our darkened hearts and lends to the
surrounding gloom beauty so sad, sc
sweet, that we would not, if we could
dispel the darkness that environs them
Thus we have found it, with this dear
kind friend whom we have loved ant
lost by the relentless hand of death ant
whose departure we truly mourn ant
I whose loss by us can not be estimated
She has held the responsible position Of
Corps President OF our order on several
occasions, end every other post Of
honor. She was q friend and counselor
in whom we could confide and trust IL
the hour of danger to our order, as sh'
would always encourage us with SOM
favoring aspect, and was ever ready t
advise or Instruct US in the paths o
duty.
The one we love- whose absence we deplore,
i Is with us-near us-in our hour Of sorrow,
!, Waiting to clasp us when our task Is DER.
And we to hall the everlasting morrow,
8 Then never be the brow of sadness shaded,
), When friends put off their wornout clothes
a But with the eye of faith and hopebe aided,
To see them newly clad in robes of day.

Earl Louis Boies.

At an early hour last Friday morn
ing E. l.. Boies, of Waterloo, died at his
home in that city. He had been sick
for couple Of weeks with typhoid
fever, and, after the dangers from that
disease were believed to have been
passed, fatal complications developed.
No man in Iowa ranked higher in
the legal profession than Louis Boies,
and in his death the state, as well as
his kindred, suffers an irreparable loss.
q. L. Boies was native of New
York state, and had he lived till the 4th
of next June he would have been AZ
years of age. He came to Waterloo
with his parents when but small boy
and graduated from the Waterloo higt
school at the age of 16, and from
Cornell college with the class of 1881
After completing his course at Cornell
be read law for couple of years witt
his father, Ex-Governor Horace Boies
and was then admitted to the bar and
became member of his fathers Law
firm. His success as lawyer was re.
markable, in fact little less than phe-
nomenal.
His abilities and his honorable meth
DDS and courteous manners made him
an ideal lawyer.
On March 9Th, 1902, he was married
to Miss Florence Raymond, of Grundy
Center.
The surviving relatives of the young
man are the wife, the father, ext Cover
nor Horace Boies, his partner ano
younger brother, II. b. Boies, sne
sister, Mrs. Nellie Carson of Mt. Vernon
Iowa.
In this time Of bereavement the
family, and especially the aged father
have the sympathy of everyone who
knows them.
1t is difficult to understand why
death is permitted to end the murta
life Of SO many, at q time when they
are seemingly of so much use to them
selves and to mankind Perhaps th'
Master has need for such in the higher
courts of heaven. At any event th'
past cannot be changed, and in tn
clearer light of the future may we b.
able to see that the power that bring
us hither takes US hence at the tim
that is wisest and best.

A New Carnegie Storv.

A new and interesting story is being
told of Andrew Carnegie. He was walk
ing along a country road not far from
Skibo castle when he came across an old
cottager busly. engaged in putting a
thatch roof on his cottage. He asked the
man why he did not put on a tiled roof
and was told that it was too expensive.
Glow much?" he CURLY asked.
FIFTY pounds" the man replied, and
to his intense amaZement and joy Mr..
Carnegie there and then wrote him out
a check for that amount Going indoors.
he told his wife the news.
.'Mon," she said scornfully, "why
dinna We say f15? Go an tell him ye
made q mistake"
The cottager journeyed up to the castle
and was shown into Mr.. Carnegie
study. He explained that he had been
wrong about the cost, saying it would be
f25 more. The millionaire philanthropist
asked for the check back, coolly tore it
to pieces and the dismayed and discon-
ISOLATE cottager was promptly shown the
door.-London Tit-Bits.

who should be considered an authority
on the subject, as he has passed the
merry quip with more people than any
man in the country today. "Gen. Sher-

about jokes and other solemn things" he
says. 1T was by way of acknowledging
a copy of my book, People l Have

story Of the Irishman who was too much
given to strong drink.
