The Naturalist. John Burroughs

President Roosevelt showed his u.s.
ual good sense in selecting John Bur-
roughs, the eminent naturalist, to
accompany him on his western trip.
He is the pioneer of a school which
has recently become famous in litera-
ture. Thompson, Van Dyke and a
whole host of others have simply fol-
lowed his trail into the woods and
fields. He knows the birds as he does
his best friends by their voices. The
trees and plants of the boundless
forests and prairies are as familiar to
him as are the pet ones in his private
gardens. He is the intimate friend Of
all animals. He is on ready speaking
terms with insect life and all nature
about him. He can be mouth and
wisdom to the President and all his
company, and besides be of general
use to the government.
Mr.. Burrough was born among the
rugged Catskill hills and he loved to
wander among them. His life has
been varied. He began on a farm.
He served as government clerk, a
school teacher and now lives some
thing like recluse on the Hudson.
But everywhere he comes in touch
with nature and life. He can speak
her language and divine her thoughts.
it is better to be in his company than
that of kings and queens and the so
called great of the world.-Ringgold

The Editorial rleeting.

The spring meeting of the South
western Iowa Editorial Association
was held at Glenwood last Friday and
was attended by about fifty newspaper
men. The morning session was held
in the K. L. club rooms and was de-
voted to organization and di scussion
OF the business end of the newspaper.
AT noon the visitors were entertai ned
at the homes of Glenwood's hospitable
citizens. AT 80 the inspection of the
State Institution for Feeble Minded
was begun, after which the association
met in the chapel of the Institution.
The afternoon session was devoted
largely to the discussion of the editor
ial page, and to the transportation
problem as it appeared to those living
on, the "Q' At six o'clock the banquet
provided by the citizens was served
in the dining room. After partak-
ing of various articles each take"
being mentally marked by the editors
as top column, next to reading mat
ter" and hearing the toasts the chapel
was again visited. A short musical
program by the Institution orchestra
was rendered and Hon. Geo. ID. Per-
kins, of the Sioux City Journal, was
introduced and gave an address on
the moral Influence of the Press"
followed by an illustrated lecture by q
representative of the Southern Pacific
railroad.
Glenwood is an ideal town for such
gathering and her people past mast
ers in the art of entertaining. The
newspaper men were royalty enter
tanned, had profitable and socially
MI Mt nd Not 10 hni IN
homes very favorably impressed with
the city of Glenwood.
Glenwood being the home of our
representative in his boyhood many
courtesies of personal nature were
extended him, not the least of which
was the opportunity to enjoy the hos
| pitality of the occupants OF the old
| family residence. This is an example
of the thoughtful and happy manner
in which the whole plan of entertain
| ment was carried out.
Probably the most valuable part of
the days doings was the inspection of
the Institution. Valuable in the fact
that it brought the visitors in close
touch with the great work the state is
doing for the feeble minded. In no
other way could they be brought to
realize the duty we owe to these I'M
fortunates, to see what can be done
for them and to become convinced that
the Iowa Institution for Feeble Mind
ed is conducted along lines worthy of
their active support. DR.. Powell, the
superintendent, has grown gray in the
service, he has an enviable reputation
in his profession in this line of work
and those who know of his struggles
to reach the high standard which now
obtains are proud of his success.

Truth at Funerals.

Kansas City rnal:-Ajax Flem-
ing, of the Braymer Comet, does not
approve of the plan of the Macon par
son who announces that he will here
after tell the truth about the dear
wicked deceased in his funeral SER
mons.
GA Macon preacher" writes Elem
ing, "gives it out in decided frigid
manner that in the matter of funerals
in the future he proposes to tell the
truth. He says he is tired of this
SOLDERING over dead people making
them immaculate saints when they are
hell bound sinners. He says if mourn
ers want veneering and sycophantic
folderal call upon some other preach
err; if facts are wanted call upon him.
"This sounds very nice, grandiolo-
quent and heroic. But it is all wind.
That reform along this line is badly
needed no one will deny, but if made
at all it must be gradual growth.
Both preacher and editor overdo the
funeral business, but let either of
them tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the TRUTH and some
thing would likely happen.
"There is middle ground and it is
safe and manly. Don't lie; use wis
dom in eulogy, and don't permit feel
ing to carry the brain into fulsome
extravaganza. Don't paint too glow
ingly; it does the dead no good and
the living know as well or better than
you do that you are not posted or are
reckless of the truth. 1t is very sick
ening to hear some preachers slobber
over the saintliness of the dead, often
preaching VIGOROUSLY bad people into
heaven.
'The Macon preacher is right in
starting a much needed reform in this
direction, but it will take root very
slowly, if at all. But there is no use
to tell the truth; preach to the living;
speak of the good and leave the bad
qualities alone. Cut off the slobber. .

Hon. Sidney A. Foster, member of
the Des Moines board of Park COM
missioners, is the father of a new idea.
He believes in the establishment of
township parks and necessary legisla-
ton to permit of the purchase of the
necessary land. After the land is pur-
chased, he.suggests that suitable hall
or meeting place be erected. Within
the building could be held all politi-
cal meetings, elections, literary and
social entertainments. He believes
that the idea will find favor among
the farmers, and will permit of the
development of taste for the beauti-
full in the farming communities. He
also advances the idea that meeting
ing place, such as he outlines, will do
more to advance the interests of the
good roads movement than anything
else. DR.. Fosters suggestion, if car,
ried out, would be of advantage to
numerous communities where notowns
are located within the townships. In
the days of the grange many such
halls were built, and some of them are
still in use.-Cedar Rapids Republi.

President of Harvard.

Springfield, Mass, April 21.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt, according to the Re-
publican, would like to be president of
Harvard University. The Republican
says in editorial:
what Harvard will do for a presi-
dent when DR.. Eliot gets through has
long been q source of speculation. DR..
Eliot will be SO years old on the Goth,
but in vigor, force and youth he is
without superior among university
or college presidents, good yet for
many years. There is an interesting
suggestion current among Harvard
men who know Theodore Roosevelt
well that the president of the United
Stated cherishes strong ambition,
when he has finished his second term
in the white house which he expects
the American people are to secure for
him, to become president of Harvard
University.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured By One Bottle Of chamberlain's Cough pemsd

"When / had an attack of the grip
last winter 1.-THE second one) | actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the hon
est truth. | at times kept from cough
ing myself to pieces by taking tea
spoonful of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night
/ would take dose and it seemed
that in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac-
companying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. / had
no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip, simply because / had
never tried 1t for such purpose, but
it did, and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused
it to not only be of less duration, but
the pains were far less severe, and |
had not used the contents of one bot
tie before Mr.. Grip had bid meadieu. /"

every way prepared to enjoy himself
to the fullest extent. He will stop at

Capt. lie Blanc is typical French
Canadian. about 65 years of age, Wig
orous and intrepid. He has navigated
on Lake Ontario a good many years,
but recently retired from active life
and is now enjoying his first vacation
in two-score years. He preferred to
make the trip alone and follow his
own dictates in every respect. He
travelled every foot of the distance
from Toronto to Burlington by water
and did not meet with any accidents.
He left Lake Ontario, traversed the
length of Lake Erie, thence through
the St. Clair river into Lake Huron,
and from thence to Lake Michigan.
Leaving the lakes he dropped into
Green bay, Lake Winnebago and trav-
ersed through a chain of minor lakes,
finally arriving at the head of the
Wisconsin river. floating down that
stream into the Mississippi.
