Iowa spends for her schools she spends
three millions on her penal and correc-

knowledge is worth while and the
power to acquire knowledge is Of great
value. The cultured men and women
must know something. They must
know among other things, books, peo-
pie and manners. The education that
does not bring information is of no
use. Thus, the college graduate is
supposed to know something, other
wise his education is worthless. The
tendency to put commercial value
upon knowledge is temptation and a
snare. Knowledge, manhood, charac-
ter and efficiency are Things that have
no commercial value, but they are the
things for which we should strive.
codding and Self-InduIgence.
Among well-to-people one of the
greatest dangers of dealing with chill
dren is in coddling them too much and
the failure to develope IN them hardi-
hood and self-reliance, said Rev. LoulS
Albert Banks, of New York, in a re-
cent address. The natural tendency
of human nature is to go to extremes.
In our time the pendulum has swung
to the extreme of softness and self-in-
uulgence which is fatal to the best in
terests of human life. Many distin-
guished merchants, successful bust
ness men, and professional men of
great power say that they owe their
success to selI-reliance which came to
them because through their poverty
in youth they were compelled to strug-
| gle and fight for ever inch Of ground.
Yet these men are doing everything in
their power to make it impossible for
their sons to rise into strength OF
character in the same way. Do these
men think their sons will be rescued
| from the mire of selfindulgence by
miracle? Nine out of ten of them will
sink down to flabby uselessness with
out the spur of self-reliance, which can
only come through struggle. The rich
man who has no earnest purpose in
living, who does not seek to serve hui
mainly and make the world better for
his living in it, is just as surely a pau
per as the poor fellow who begs his
breakfast from door to door. The
world is full of men going on crutches
who would be walking alone if their
parents had trained them in lessons
of self-reliance when they were
young.-Sel.

A Question for Mothers and Teachers.
In the routine of your entire day is
there any exercise that makes an I'M
truthful child more truthful? We do
not mean punishment for failure, but
help for prevention.
Is there anything that helps them to
develop accuracy of statement, relia-
bility Of report, certainty Of observa-
ton? Punishment for failure is one
way-the old. Encouragement for
prevention is another-the new.
The greatest man is he who chooses
the Right with inyincible resolution,
who resists the sorest temptations
from within and without, who bears
the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who
| is calmest in storms and most fearless
under menace and frowns, whose reli-
ance on truth on virtue, on God, is
most unfaltering.-W. E. Charming.

HAY.HERRAN TREATY.
Its Rejection Not Caused by Min

New York, Sept TO- Members of

Minister Beaupres notes caused the
rejection of the Hay Herran treaty,
The minister's notes, they say, did not

opposed to the treaty except Senator
Oboldia.
Rejection, therefore, was a forcgone
conclusion. There had. however. been
an intention to permit the treaty meas
