1t is likely to be the case in America
that as time goes on and our relations
with foreign powers become more and
more complicated and pressing. per-
manence in consular and diplomatic
office, based upon knowledge and
proved fitness, will be the rule. This
may mean that 1t will not be so COM
mon a practice to take scholars and
authors from private life and place
them suddenly in foreign consulates
and missions. But even then 1t is like
ly that our literature will be enriched
by the work of men who have become
authors while enjoying the opportuni-
ties for new studies and broader OBJ
servation afforded by the foreign serv-
ice of their country; SO that If, hitk-
erto. literature has contributed to di-
plomacy hereafter We shall see our
diplomacy contributing to our lltera-
ture, as has, not infreQuently, already
been the case.

Isiah BentOn's Death.

The community was shocked Sunday
on learning of the suicide of Isiah
Benton, one of the old settlers of
Greeley township. Mr.. Benton and
his youngest son, Jim, lived together
on Sec. 81 Greeley township, and
patched. Sunday at about . O'Clock
Mr.. Benton helped his son hitch a
colt to a buggy to drive to a broth
er's home. This left Mr.. Benton
alone. Jim returned about noon,
built fire and started to get dinner.
Going to the barn to put the team
away and feed them he saw his faith
er's body hanging motionless by a
rope suspended from above. He call
ed neighbors and the sheriff and cor
oner were telephoned for. Sheriff
Anderson and Coroner Baker reached
there about , p. IN. and cut the body
down. The rope had been fastened
above, Mr.. Benton evidently climbing
onto beam and jumping OFF, making
a drop of about five feet, the force
breaking his neck, and doubtless
causing death at once. Suicide was
the only possible theory.
Mr.. Benton wac the father of six
sons and two daughters, a respected
family of children. They are con-
Size ably scattered but were all there
to the funeral which was Tuesday at
North Branch, funeral conducted by
Rev. Taylor, and burial at Bowman's.
Mrs. Benton died many years ago.
Mr.. Benton was known to be discour-
aged, but had not intimated that he
would do the awful deed. The public
extends sympathy to the relatives.
