Lord Roseberys engagement to Mrs
Samuel Sloan Chauncey, the beauti-
full American widow, whose wealth
of charm and money have made her
a notable figure in English society,
will be announced before Easter. In
letter to her sister, Mrs. William
Bennett of Louisville, KY, Mrs. Jo-
sephine Armstrong, a school friend
of Mrs Chauncey, who is spending
the winter at Vevay, Switzerland, de-
clares that the betrothal of the Eng
lish Earl and Mrs. Chauncey has been
whispered to their intimates, but
that the formal announcement of the
engagement will not be made until
the London season is drawing to a
close.
Lord Rosebery refuses to discuss
the matter, beyond denying that a
formal engagement exists, but Eng
lish society is confident the report
is true.
Mrs. Chauncey, who was Miss Alice
Carr, one of Louisville's bellies before
her marriage to the millionaire, DIR.
Chauncey, has lived abroad since the
death of her husband, little more
than three years ago.
Her younger sister is Lady New
borough, who will sit on the throne
of the French Bourbons if tickle Paris
ever throws her cap up for the Roy
alists, and rebels against the repub-
lie again.

tinction are SO many that they cannot

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 X. p. club rooms and was de-
voted to organization and discussion
of the business end of the newspaper
AT noon the visitors were entertained
at the homes of Glenwood's hospitable
citizens. At l:30 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 20" 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. d. 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 a
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
pleasant meeting, and returned to their
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 tno 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 UNI
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.

The Naturalist. John Burroughs

President Roosevelt showed his us
ual good sense in selecting John Bur-
roughs, the eminent naturalist, to
accompany him on his western trip.
He is the pioneer of 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 a 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

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 a 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 no towns
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 Republic

A Most Liberal Offer.

All our farmer readers should take
advantage of the unprecedented club
bling offer we this year make, which
includes with this paper The Iowa
Homestead, its Special Farmers In
stitute Editions and The Poultry Farm
er. These three publications are the
best of their class and should be in
every farm home. To them we add,
for local, county and general news,
our own paper, and make the price of
the four one year only $3.50. Never
before was SO much superior reading
matter offered for so small an amount
of money. The three papers named,
which we club with our own, are we'll
known throughout the west, and COM
mend themselves to the readers favor
able attention upon mere mention.
The Iowa Homestead is the great ag-
ricultural and live stock paper of the
west; The Poultry Farmer is the most
practical poultry paper for the farmer,
while The Special Farmers Institute
Editions are the most practical publi-
cations for the promotion of good
farming ever published. Take advan-
tage of this great offer, as it will hold
good for short time only. Samples
of these papers may be examined by

President of Harvard.

Springfield, Mass, April 2l.-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 presi-
dent. when DR.. Eliot gets through has
long been source of speculation. DR..
Eliot will be SO years old on the 10th,
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
we'll 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.

Truth at Funerals.

Kansas City ournal:=Ajax Flem-
ing, of the 3raymer 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.
"a Macon preacher writes Flem-
ing, 'gives it out in a 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
er; If facts are wanted call upon him.
This sounds very nice, grandiOlo-
quent and heroic. But ii is all wind.
That reform along this line is badly
needed no one will deny, but if made
at all 1t 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 a 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; 1t 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.
1.-The Macon preacher is right in
starting much needed reform in this
direction, but it will take root very
slowly, II 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. /"
