THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1903.

The News Gazette of Kalamazoo,
Michigan, in It's issue OF Sunday,
April 10, tried an experiment In the
making up of newspaper, by run
ming reading matter and advertising
in alternate columns on each page OF
the paper. II. Ford Rowe, formerly OF
Mineral Point, is one OF the proprie-
tors OF the paper, as well as business
manager. We cannot say that we ex-
actly like the new plan Of make up,
but would regard 1t as being very
convenient where SO many advertisers
want "top OF column, next TO reading
NATTER The News Gazette 10 not

but also u good advertising medium.
One thing Is certain, and that Is that
Mr.. Rowe IL u great success as a
solicitor OF advertising. To this fact
the well Hllad columns Of the News
Gazette abundautly testify.

The Nav St. Nicholas

begins the second half of Vol. xxx.
OF that popular magazine for children
Of all ages, aud seems an especially
rich number. Every lad will turn
first of all to the record OF G. w.
Orton's articles on Training For In.
terscholastic Athletics. Mr.. orion,
who is the two mile worlds steeple-
chase champion, DIS we'll as "a doctor
OF philosophy, treats his subject from
the viewpoint Of both the s;hoolboy
and the trainer. He tells young ath-
letes this month about the broad
jump, the high jump the pole vault,
the hammer throw, how to train for
these events and how to secure good
allaround results. Reproductions of
animated photographs add
life and interest to the sketch.

BUSINESS GAMBLING.

Gambling In all It's forms Is II bad
practice. Professional gambling, be-
ing disreputable, Is therefore not a
great source Of danger to fairly good
citizens; but business gambling catch
cs them and carries them of their
feet. The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
"The business career OF Henry
Herman, which closed last week, fur
nishes material for moral essays,
lectures on correct business principles
and philosophical fiction. In his per-
sonal habits Mr.. Herman Is represent
cd rs an exceptional man, temperate,
industrious and genial. La pusne 8
he was u 'plungcr, taking desperate
risks with II GOODNESS that would have
made him the center of observation
even MT Monte Carlo He early
drifted beyond his depth and was
capital, but he managed To keep up
appearances for months after his al
fairs became hope!essly involved,
''The obvious lesson to be drawn
from his experiences Is, DO business
on business principles. But the next
man of similar character who IL
tempted to copy the mistakes that
overcame Henry Herman Will not be
deferred by tho example of the M l.
waukee business plunger. Given the
desire TO pose M man Of large capt.
tai and the genius to play the part for
time with success, the victim will
deceive himself into MISLEADING the
shadow for the substance, and the
inevitable result will be that he will
deceive others also. This IL the his
tory of plungers in all ages and II
will continue 10 repeat itself until
human nature shall change and good
Intentions and honesty become
synonymous terms

"ln Chaueer's Youth"

Ethel A. Pennell's sketch, g In
Chaucer's YOUTH" in the May St.
Nicholas, is based on an unfamiliar
historic fact. Chaucer, writer of
verse, is we'll known to every school
girl aud boy; but not every grown-up,
not even Of fair general information,
knows that the lad GeotIrey Chaucer
was favorite page IN the court Of
King Edward III, and later squire
to Prince Lionel. "ln Chaucer' 5
Youth tells the pretty story of the
ready wit and quick courage which
advanced young Godfrey Chaucer
from ladies page to princes squire.

DREADNOT.

70 The Iowa County Democrat;
Work on the range Is now the order
of the day. Only II small force is
working as yct but it is the intention
of the foreman to put on more men
the first of next week. 1t is the first
time that the range ever felt the power
of dynamite, and when the foreman
cries fire we think of the long distance
war-whoop of the Lenni Lenape.
Scarcity of men seems to be the
only fault so far, but the good doctor
could easily remedy this by putting a
pinch bar under his price-list and
raise ii q little.
Seeding of grain is finished and the
land for corn and other late crops is
now being prepared. The ground is
in u better condition this spring than
it has been for many years, and it
looks promising at this time for pas
ture and hay,
Milking of COWS the choking Of
calves is once more in season. This
would be rather distasteful if the
women did not occasionally lend II
hand and say few things.
The cheese factory is being put in
order for the years business, and
milk will be taken the first of next
month.
A shower of rain seems to make the
new roads rs muddy MS the roads that
have been doing business for fifty
years or more.
In our opinion the present legisla-
ture claiming to be working in the in
terest of the people NJ Madison is
like an old mule that has succeeded
by number of death struggles to
squeeze himself half way through the
eye Of needle. With the fifty thou
sand majority pulling at his head,
and the railroads and other tax
dodgers pulling ut his tail, it seems rs
if he will be yanked in two, aud if SO
we hope to meet him again no more.

Importnnt to Mothers.

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds OF
dollars to familiariae the public with
the signature of Chas. II, Fletcher,
This has been necessitatcd by reason
of pirates counterfeiting the Castoria
trade mark. This counterfeiting is u
crime not only against the proprietors
OF Castoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be
careful to see that Castoria bears the
signature OF Chas. II. Fletcher, II
they would guard the health of their
children. Parents, and mothers in
particular, ought to carefully examine
the Castoria advertisements which
have been appearing in this paper,
and to remember that the wrapper OF
every bottle OF the genuine Castoria
bears the fac-simile signature Of
Chas. II, Fletcher, under whose super.
vision it has been manufactured for
over thirty years. Phila. Bulletin.

of those who have money;
The country Is not in danger from

In any Immediate danger from any
source, but the most likely causes will
be from the men who are money mad.

Good Words For +. f. DAVIDSON,
AuctiOneer,

The Enterprise, published at Lodi,
Wis: J. r. Cobden's dispersion sale
Of Short Horn cattle, held on Tues
day, was success in every way. The
seventeen head Of blooded stock
brought an average of $ll2.65, the
prices paid ranging from $50 to S245.
Mr.. Cohden was highly pleased with
the services of the auctioneer, f. f..
DAWSON of Mineral Point, and also
the clerk, +. +. Vanderpool.
The Courier published at Souther-
land, Iowa: We understand from one
OF the boys who attended the Gallo
way sale at Omaha that the success of
the sale was due to the fact that the
offerings were good, and also to the
fact that the sale was managed by two
of the best auctioneers in the west,

and James w. Sparks of Marshall =,
Mo. Col. DAWSON Is an old friend
Of Mr.. Martins and also of the
writer, we having attended his first
sale in Wisconsin nearly quarter of
a century ago and we can truly say
Mr.. Davsson did the best for a young
man that we ever heard, and he has
been improving all these years For
the past eight years he has been cry
ing a good many fine stock sales,
mostly Short-H0rns. fine bred horses

The Century for MAY.

Leading in interest, as we'll as order
in the May Century is Arthur Schnei-
der's story of his sixteen months
close connection with the Sultan Of
Morocco. The American artist was
the Instructor and the daily compan.
ion of the sultan from November
1900, to March, 1902, an intimacy
never before permitted between an
eastern despot and an American citi.
zen. Mr.. Schneider tells in the May
number, following an introduction by
Talcott Williams, of his arrival and
reception in Morocco, his first meet
ing with and impression of the sultan,
and the often Imaginable experiences
with his odd pupil. There are plenty

articles upon municipal government

"There Is nothing in the un-Ameri-

There Is general and growing
sentiment against the vile smelling
cigarette. The Oshkosh Times says;
1.-THE Canadian parliament has pass
ed II resolution prohibiting the impor-
tation, manufacture and sale Of cigar
cites, by vote of LOB 10 As. The
idea Is that cigarettes produce haue-
full effects on small boys. Ono speak

The cigarette Is being fought as
well in almost every state In the

The way that Mr.. Bryan assails

that Mr.. Bryan is not large-minded
