The Upton Advertiser tells a little
story in its local columns that has a
groundwork of pathos. Frank McCabe,
of Plttsburg, Pa, came TO Upton this
week to see his mother and a brother.
Young McCabe had left home years ago
and like many others grew careless
about writing home and the family lost
all account of him. He found his moth
er and one brother in the county poor
house and has made arrangements for
their care and comfort in the future.

THE PREACHERS BURDEN.

Spirit Lake Beacon.
At the close of a sermon in the Spirit
Lake Methodist Episcopal church last
Sunday morning, Rev. DR.. Bennett
Mitchell made an appeal for the super
animated minister, for whom it is the
purpose of the church to make better
provision. He said ministers are not
in position to make money and are not
expected to make money; further that
the minister and his family are entitled
to live as we'll during the years of SER
vice as others and to be as well pro-
tected against the perils of old age;
all of which is the plain truth. 1t is
difficult to understand why the minister
should be required to bear such an UNI
equal share of church burdens. in en-
tering the ministry he leaves hope be-
hind as far as worldly advancement
is concerned. Take the case of Bennett
Mitchell himself. He had the ability
to forge to the front in his profession
or trade. It is no logical violence to as
sumo that as a lawyer he would have
reached wealth and power and judicial
eminence. In any learned profession
or in any business where brains count
he would have made his way. Yet here
he is in the evening of a life devoted to
the Christian ministry entirely shorn of
If the rewards that come to men in
secular employment. He has fought the
strenuous battles of a soldier of the
cross with unflinching courage and res
ignation and the least the church and
the world can do for him and others Of
his class in testimony of just recog-
milton of services rendered, is to see
that in their age they are not left
desolate for want Of material comforts.

The two book system is to obtain at
the Grinnell free library hereafter. The
Herald says that at the meeting OF the
trustees of the Grinnell free library on
Monday evening. Aug. 10, ii was voted
10 put into operation what is known
as the two book system, which pro-
vides that card holders shall be entitled
to draw two books at time, only one
Of which shall be fiction. 1t was also
voted to allow the rural patrons of the
library a card for every member of the
family, not to exceed three, for which
they shall pay % cents for three months
or 81 a year. These changes regarding
the circulation of books are intended to
increase the privileges of both town and
rural readers. In the case of the rural
patrons the advantage is especially in
creased. as heretofore only one card has
been issued at the rate stated above.
1t is hoped that many will avail them
selves of these new privileges which the
library extends to all within its reach.
