Ea 1890 ~ ~ ah0 5
Perhaps you do not know where
Ames is. l did not until l found 1t on
the map of Iowa and n morning left
the train and stood within It's confines.
I was there on business. The man
was to see they told me 1 would find
over "at the college" The college is
n OF those state agricultural insti-
tutions that strives to teach men that
life mex to the soil is better than life
close to the hard pave of the city.
i walked out a narrow tramway track
to the college. l came to where the
grass was of emerald green, the trees
monarchs born out of a glacial age, the
brook with its babble a reality, and the
fat kline OF h slopes, princes and prin-
cesses of the animal age. / passed
from building to building and at last
in a narrow but air-fresh Office 1 met
the man 1 was seeking.
My errand was briefly stated; my
wants in a business way were promptly
met. All day I followed this mar thru
the college grounds learning from his
lips what the work in progress was.
/ noticed the stoop in his shoulders, the
hesitation of speech, the WEAKNESS of
all his efforts. / felt also his gentleness
Of courtesy. Strangely enough as I
watched him l wondered what the
handspring of his life was-what kept
him going ahead.
We are all more or less helpless un-
less we have a motive. This mans
motive, I could not divine. He was for
the college, h was strong for its stud
ent life, he believed in the soil and not
the harsh beat of the city's pulse. He
looked at the great cattle, kings of
blood grazing in the meadows, and
said:
They stand for more than stocks
and bonds"
Still 1 lacked his motive. We of the
city, dulled in all senses but thai of
finance. call a steer or a COW so much
"provisions" to be sold under Board OF
Trade rules. We do not see beyond
that. I learned that this man did.
The evening was on and we crossed
a sward to where a campanile stood
a bell tower. This man. now gone to
his rest. looked up to the massive tower
and he said:
THE bells are there-they are going
to ring"
The bells did ring. They rang the old
songs that the world-weary always GO
back to when the fierceness of strife
is over.
Nearer, my God, to Thee" rang out
these bells and an instant later, Should

SIEVE RE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by Ono Bottle Of chamberlain's
Couch Remedy,

when I had an attack Of the grip
last winter (the second one) I actually
cured myself with one bottle OF Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
" Perry, editor Of the Enterprise.
Sho~tsville, n. Y. This is the honest
truth. 1 ut times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full Of this remedy. and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night ]
would take a dose and 1t seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and l would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac-
companying pains. % say that the
remedy acted as a most agreeable ur-
prise is putting 1t very mildly. I had no
idea that it would or could knock out
the grip. simply because l had never
tried 1t for such a purpose. but 1t did.
and 1t seemed with the second attack Of
coughing the remedy caused 1t to not
only be Of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe. and I had not used
the contents Of n bottle before Mr..
Grip had bid me adieu.' For sale by all
DRUGGISTS.

were doctors, twenty-three music
teachers and 400 had been schoo
teachers. The reverse side of the re-
port shows "a, 900 people dependent up
on charity. OF these, 1880 were labor
ers, 159 merchants, 49l builders and
47S farmers. No professional men were
listed as among the paupers.
Statistics are always Interesting and
the figures compiled by the labor bu-
reau of Massachusetts particularly SO
as presenting the statistics of economy
and careful saving against ultimate
failure of the power to earn a dveli-
hood. There is a lesson IN the contrast
between $4,000 persons Independent of
charity in their old age and $4,000 9th
ers who must live upon the taxation of
their more careful or more fortunate
fellows. That more tina 1000 laborers
have acquired competency in Massa-
chusetts is a high tribute to the intelli-
gence of the state.
Statistics. however, are able only to
warn. They teach a lesson. Tho
who read must act upon the informa-
ton and heed the warning. Conditions
in Massachusetts more nearly approach
those existent in the old countries than
do conditions in Iowa. The Massachu-
sets textile or leather worker knows
what his wages are likely to be and
their limit. He begins early to save. In
the west, the worker, after the fashion
of Mr.. Micawber, cherishes the hope
that something will turn up" The
savings bank is as much patronized an
in Massachusetts as the
school. 1t is likely that all things con-
sidered an Iowa report o. the lines of
the Massachusetts, investigation would
favor the eastern state by comparison.
The first $500 is proverbially he
hardest to accumulate. 1t grows by
small sums. but properly nursed 1t
grows. Savings banks and endowment
insurance are safe and easy vehicles
for saving. Both are growing in Iowa.
The increase of population, the general
spread of education and knowledge are
making success a matter of fierce COM
petition. 1t is growing TO be an age of
small things for the average man. He
must save and despise not If he is to
be independent in his old age. The
profits of great packing houses are al
most entirely from what a few years
ago was thrown aside as refuse. The
laborer, the clerk and even the profess
sional man must pursue the packing
house method II he wishes to look for
ward to an old g of Independence and
contentment.

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

The Manchurian situation appears to
be focusing to a point where Russia
must back down or take the territory
she covets by force. China, backed by
other nations. has denied her de-
mands and refuses TO give up Man
by the United States, England and ia
pan. How far such support will carry
in the event of a seizure of the prov
!nces by Russia remains to be proven;
but there can be small 6oubt that Ja-
pan at any rate is prepared to resist
such aggression by force of arms. That
actually take up arms in defense of the
Integrity of the Chinese empire is not
likely, but their moral support and
sympathy would be with the Mon
golians. The commercial interests Of
the manufacturing nations make for the
autonomy of China and It's development
as a nation.
China is on the verge of a great
change. Her experience within the past
few years has brought an effective tho
costly lesson. The war with Japan ex-
posed her military weakness n inef-
fciency. The recent c~astigation at the
hands of the powers has added to the
lesson taught by Japan. Her armies
are being drilled by men who have
learned the art of organization and dis
cipline. Her ports are opening to civil
ization and progress. If Russia intends
to seize a portion of that empire her
time is short for action. With her nu-
merical strength nodded into respecta-
BILE military form China ma soon be in
q condition to overrun the world. Rus
sla may at some not distant day trem-
Bile before the fear Of a Chinese inva-
sion.
Properly developed and organized
China's military possibilities are unlim-
tied. From her population of half a
billion she would be able 10 draw armies
countless as the mighty hordes that
marched before Xerxes. She could
make herself mistress Of the world by
pure physical force. When railroads
have scanned the empire, modern Indus
try has developed a progressive civiliza-
ton and China feels her strength there
will be no talk Of dismemberment, but
rather of combining her to her own le-
climate boundaries.

RoossvsLr's EXPOSITION SPEECH.

The policy of expansion 1ustlhed ny
the logic of national history vas the
thought that shone among the generate
ties of President Roosevelt's opening
speech at the dedication of the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition today. 1t was
with that purchase that the career OF
expansion began. which has planted the
American flag afar and made the United
States the premier country OF a neml-
sphere if not of the globe. When MI.
Jefferson stretched his authority until
it cracked to add the trans mississippi
to the territory Of the United states a
new and untried experiment In expan-
sion was in~augurated. TIE east viewed
the movement with alarm and predicted
the destruction of the republic. The
genius OF succeeding congresses and adj
ministrations has showr. the causeless-
ness of such fear by building empires
from the purchased territory and add-
ing still other empires to them. This
purchase and development of the
Louisiana territory as a movement OF
expansion was the tex; of the presi-
dents speech, the lesson of its history.
The purchase was a moster-stroke OF
craftsmanship; its colonization and de-
velopment Is the monument of a race of
pioneers picked by natural selection
from the best of northern Europe. The
history of the purchase is IAN epitome
of the history of our entire people"
Other nations have marked and fol-
lowed its process of expansion. It is the
apotheosis Of constructive statesman
ship and wise administration.
To the pioneers and early settlers the
president paid a well deserved tribute
of praise. They were a fighting race,
which met the wilderness and the sav-
age face to face in a fight to a finish
and won. Their qualities are neces-
sary to development. The qualities
which pushed the frontier ever farther
west against the weight of the wilder
ness are needed today de much as they
were then, and the masterfulness and
indomitnble tenacity of the settler APP
piled to the dificulties os the present
are the hope of the ultimate and suc-
cessful solution Of national problems.

The Davenport Republican thinks at

thing doing in the p%ostoffice depart

that time. the president will give the

Last fall when it was announced that
President Roosevelt would visit Os-
kaloosa. it was quite obvious to the
Lacey's interest that the stop at Os-
~lsaloosa was to be made. 1t was herald
ed all over the state that the coal bar
n of the east were back of the deep
laid plot to defeat Reese. The Oskalocsa
Times-Journai was very positive thar
this vas the case and urged the voters
to resent such interference by giving
Reese such a vote of confidence that
a scheme on the part of the coal
trust would never again be attempted.
1t SO happened that the proposed trip
of the president was abandoned be-
cause of the injury to n of his limbs
and then these am papers set UP

JOHN J.. LINES TO LEAD
THE BROADWAY CHOIR

John j. Lines, tenor. who will be
pleasantly remembered as one of the
soloists in the presentation of Elijah
at the Illinois theatre last season by
the Rock Island Choral society, has
come here 10 locate, having taken
charge as conductor of the choir of
the Broadway Presbyterian church,
and aside from the duties of that po-
sition will give instruction in voice.
Mr.. Lines comes from New York City,
where he received his musical educa-
ton, having for eight years been a
student of Harry Wheeler. one of the
country's Leading teachers of voice.
Mr.. Lines proposes also to revive the
choral society, interest in which
seems to, have Jagged since the re-
moval from the city of c. f. Toen-
niges. to whose efforts the organiza-
ton of the society was in a great
measure due. Mr.. Lines says the so
.iety has some excellent vocal mate
.ial, and there is no reason why Rock
island should not have as good n
chorus as there is in the state.
