Mr.. Dooley is a calm. grave phloso-

That Is. he disapproves of unmixed
physical force. He would use it only to

THE LAST OF THE CIRCUIT RIDERS.

Considered as a type the circuit rider
passed long ago. He moved on with
the frontier and faded with the condi-
tons that made his kind a necessity
He was peculiar among the servants
of God. Saturated with faith and inn
bued with the certainty of his divine
election he met danger, difficulty and
hardship in Gods name. calmly conf
dent of ultimate triumph. He swan
rivers and lay out in storms TO carry
his message TO the scattered hamlets
days. Opposition and violence stirred
him as bugle call stirs in the night,
and the neighborhood that denied ham
he stoTmed and conquered in the might
of the Most High. If he failed some
times to remember the church he never
forgot his responsibility toward God.
and grew almost savage in the peril

His sermons dealt always with the
matter in hand. His contrasts We're
vivid He held the sinner. hair hung
and breeze shaken" over he'll and
pointed TO heaven as land of pure de-
light. And he did it from depth of
pure conviction, fearless of public opin-
ion and careless of personal affront. His
methods, like himself, were of the kind
adapted to the ruder civilization of the
frontier, but they were successful from
their very earnestness and sincerity.
The circuit riders vigorous propa-
ganda stirred the fallows of the primi-
tive pioneer society after the same
fashion that the settlers plow tore
the prairie sod. Both were advance
guards of civilization and marched
abreast.
The burial OF Father Raymond at
Geneva Friday of last week practically
closes the history of the circuit rider
In Iowa. He was one of the oldest of the
pioneers of the Methodist church in this

ern Iowa. His name was household
word in the northern counties among
the settlers, among whom he labored
and to whom he brought his message OF
peace and piety.
But the paiimpsest OF Christian en-
deayor is never closed. The names of
the circuit riders may be erased and a
new roster written in their places. The
work goes on. If different methods
have come with the newer civilization
and the duties of pastorate are less Of
the field and more of the garrison, there
Is still no lack OF enthusiasm or relaxa-
ton of vigilance. The work continues.
But there will always attach to the

EXCITING TIMES IN IOWA


The momentousness of the matters
engaging the attention of Iowa people
at the present time may be judged by
the topics under discussion in some OF
the leading newspapers of the state.
The Davenport Republican,, Burlington
Hawkeye, aud The Gate City are
bringing thei, efforts 10 bear upon the
important question whether babies
should be spanked or not. The Des
Mones Register and Leader is giving
its best thought TO the no less conse-
quential topic of kissing in Canoes
The Cedar Rapids Republican is en-
gagged in a profound discussion as to
whether women should wear hats in
church or attend in their bare heads.
The Sioux City Journal is busiiy en-
gagged in noticing the kindly grace
with which j. b. Hungerford, the abb
man of Carroll, presents TO Colonel
Lafayette Young, the distinguished
citizen of Des Moines, the compliments
of the season" The Dubuque Tele-
graph is absorbed in The Ceremony of
the Silver Hammer" while the Capital
at Des Moines is admiring the fine
cattle on exhibition at the fair. Dan
Patch's performance holds the atten-
ton OF the Dubuque Times, and the
Yacht race that of the Davenport DEM
ocrat. AL Waterloo the Courier has the
railroad lass proposition in the lime
light, and the Reporter is studying how
best to dispose of garbage. While all
this is going on the Marshalltown
Times Republican intrudes with an es-
say on The Curse of Idleness.' Other
citations of equal value and significance
might be made, but the list is quite long
enough already. These do indeed be
thrilling times in which 10 live!

Our Birth Rate.


A New England scientist has lately
published some suggestive conclusions
on the subject of the birth rate in Am
erica. Looking backward to the time of
Benjamin Franklin, he discovers that
the average number of children TO a
family was then eight: century later
it had declined TO 81: in 1880 1t was
4.6: in 1860 3.33: in 1872. 2.45; in 1900.

civilized world. according to one au-
thority, is steadily decreasing, rapidly

things. for which we are offered the
following explanation:
Family shrinkage seems clearly re-
ferabIe 10 the strenuous nerve aklng
life of the day to the struggle not FOR
existence. but for a luxurious existence,
to the ever-in increasing desire for the
Injuries OF life and the morbid GRAY

ment. 1t is due to the desire to nave no
children or only such number as q
husband and wife believe suitable anc

The quaint tale was ended, and Gwen
lay quiet for some moments, then said
gently:

Then the Pilot read to her: '"Thei

"Gentleness, meekness, self control;,

For long time Gwen lay quite still,
and then said wistfully, while her lip
trambled:
"There are no flowers in my canyon,
but only ragged rocks"
"Some day they will bloom, Gwen,
dear. He will find them, and we, too,i
shall see them"
Then he said goodby and took me-
away. He had done hfs work that day.
We rode through the big gate, down

the broad sunshine into the shadows
and soft lights of the canyon. As we.

To the Duke it was oil wonder, for
as the days shortened outside they

more and more Ovens .roOm: became

when he asked the Pilot. what did
you do to the little princess. and what's

into the Dukes eyes, 1.-THE fruits OF
the Spirit are love, peace, long suffer-
ing, gentleness, goodness, faith, meek

are found only in the canyon" And,
the Duke, standing up straight, hand
some and strong, looked back at the
Pilot and said, putting out hts hand:
"Do you know, believe you're

"Yes. I'm quite sure" answered the
Pilot simply. Then. holding the Dukes
