SOWING AND REAPlNe,


Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap"
Such is the proclamation made in
holy writ and there are none to deny
the truthfulness of the utterance. The
Montezuma Republican relates that in
the district court of Poweshiek county
the other night there was given a
startling revelation Of the verify of the
statement made by the inspired writer.
A father brought his son before
Judge Scott and asked that he be sent
to the asylum for treatment. The son
was thirty years of age. AS he took
his position inside the prisoners box
the results of dissipation were pain
fully apparent. The victim had jus.
recovered from an attack of delirium
tremens and the nervous appearance
of the bloated wreck told plainly of
the awful ordeal through which he had
passed.
The father took the witness star
against the boy. He told of the dissi-
patton that had been the unfortunate
sons lot for many years--how he had
squandered a farm worth $4,000 and
how he had twice taken the Kelley
cure and each time triumphed over
his appetite but a short time. Tears
came into the eyes of the father as he
pictured the terrible inroads made up
on the young man by the curse Of
drink. He related how himself and
hn1 h
the son to break away from it's thrall-
dom and be a man again.
After the father had given in his
evidence the Judge turned to the
young man and told him that he would
be permitted to question his father
also. Turning to the gray-haired old
man the victim, with trembling voice,
mellowed with a GRIEF that was really
pitiable, said:
Father, have l drank any more
whiskey in the past three years than
you haye?"
The father looked wistfully to the
Judge as much as to say: Must |
answer that question:" And the court
came to his relief by stating that he
need not answer it as the young man
and not himself was on trial.
It will never be known just how
much was involved in the question pro-
pounded by the inebriate, but those
who know the circumstances state
that the father for years has been ad-
dicted to the use of liquor; that when
his how was vet an innocent trusting
confding youth the father would pour
out a glass of liquor and urge him to
drink it and after one glass was taken
another was ready and the little fellow
was brought up on the dark beverage
of hell" And now in his declining
years, his head silvered DER with the
burden of years the old father goes in
to court and asks that merciful trib-
unal pass judgment upon the youth
whose pitiable condition was brought
about because of the conduct Of the
father.
Men of Iowa, you who have boys
growing up around your sacred hearth
stone, are you setting the example
that will drag your boy down until he
loses his self-respect and instead of a
noble, sturdy young manhood, that
shall be the hope and inspiration of
your declining yeares you shall reap
the bitterness that shall fill your souls
with remorse and despair!
Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap"

The present scarcity Of coal, with
consequent high prices, is easily ac-
counted for. Owing to strikes the sup
ply in the country has been reduced
S5,00O,0 900 or 40,000,000 tons in pro
duction during the past year. OF this
quantity 25,O00,000 tonz is anthracite,
which is equal to 50,O00,000 tons of BIZ
luminous coal. This with the bitumi-
nous tonnage added makes grand to-
tai shortage of 65,O00,000 tons, or
enough to supply 100000 families
nearly one-tenth of our population
for year. These facts fully account
for conditions as they now present
themselves.

tion of 10000 or better to support more

demonstrated that city of $4,000 is

There is a great increase in England
Of life insurance without medical ex-
animation, n system highly praised by
some experts.
Broadly stated, the position Of the
companies which seek the business is
that the benefit of selection in keeping
down the death rate exhausts itself in
the first few years, and thereafter the
mortality is above average.
If policies were issued to the first
10000 apparently healthy men met in
the street by agents of the company,
the mortality of the group would be
much the same as that of 10000 in
sured lives of similar ages who had
passed Il strict examination five years
previously.
Accordingly in risks taken without
examination an extra charge of 81 per
$500 is made for the first year and 50
extra for the next two years, the rate
after that being normal; or proviso Is
made that in case of death within five
years only part of the premium is to
be paid. With these precautions the
business IS considered conservative.
