Joe Trigg in the Rockford Register:
Referring to climatic conditions, PEG,
pie differ as to which season of the
year brings the mostenioyable and the
best days. For us there 10 always q
red letter day in the spring of the
year when we realize the hard winter
is gone, q day when the sun shines
and the south wind blows and the
grass and the the woods are greenipg
up and the great focks of wild fowl
are headed for their summer home In
the far north, a day when we just like
to curl up on the sunny side of an old
straw pile down by the woods and
watch the migratory birds, the feecy
clouds, hear the distant cackle of the
farm fowl, the rat-tat-tst OF flicker
on dry limb and chairaree of red
squirrel and lie there in q dreamy,
lazy way, forget work and business
and just let the old world flicker.
Ever done 1t?
Then there is often another good
day in June following season If
great heat and storm, when the wind
from the northwest comes TO one
fresh and tonic as a sea breeze to a
feVered patient, when ature is doip &
weeks work in day in forcing
vegetation, and he whose work is with
the soil then begins to see the embry O
harvest and the reward of his toll.
But better than either are those
late September days, harvest time,
when the stress and nervous energy
OF nature wanes, when grains and
fruits are ripe and the fast mail slowe
down for the station and the end oil
its run: when prairie chicken and
black bass get on the bill of fare and
the Wealthy apple trees are bending
to the ground with their load of red
checked lusciousness purpling grapes
are peeping from their leafy shade
There may be lots of work to do Just
then, but we always just like to foo
day or so away about then and en-
Joy the delightful environment, fol-

Esquire J. A.Bernard was eighty
two years of age a few days ago and
celebrated the event by coming into
the Herald office and paying his sub
scription for the paper, an act that
he has performed many times. The
gentleman is strong and active and
takes a keen interest in all of the
events of the day. He was born in
Maryland and went with his parents
to Ohio when quite a small boy. He
came to Iowa in 1854 and has been a
resilient of Mahaska county ever
since that time. Mr.. Bernard Is one
of the most experienced orchard men
in the county. He has planted seven
orchards in his time and three OF
these have been in Mahaska county
He has lived to partake Of the fruit
Of each one of them and to see them
produce. May time deal gently with
our good old friend.

WHY THEY FAILED.

Keokuk Gate City: In a book re.
Gently published FIVE hundred men
out of work tell what they regard as
the greatest blunder Of their lives
Following are some Of the errors
mentioned-which should serve as
warnings to others:
/. Didn't save what earned"
2. ibid not as a boy realize the
value of an education"
3. eff / had taken better care Of
my money! would be in better health
and better morals"
4. did not realize the Importance
of sticking to one kind of employ
ment."
5. "The greatest blunder in my
life was when I took my first drink
6. zone of he greatest blunders
of my life was not to perfect myself
in one of the lines of business start
ed to learn"
Z. my greatest blunder was wher
I quit school in the fifth grade"
s. "The turning point in my life
was when, at fifteen, ran away from
home"
9. Spent my money foolishly
when I was earning good wages"
10. when I let myself be misle'
in thinking that need not stick tt
one thing"
Extravaganza, illiteracy, lack Of
stability, intemperance and self-con
ceit-these are the rocks on which
most wasted lives are wrecked
Young men would do well to consider
seriously the danger that threatens
from these causes. Whether life IL
a success or a failure rests very
largely with the individual. Men d.
not gather grapes Of thorns or fig
Of thistles.

ing democrats of the state as having
resulted from the endorsement by
the governor of the tariff plank OF
the Iowa republican platform. The
loss of democratic supporters of two
years ago will be the only thing that
will reduce his majority of that time.
He will, of course, be scratched by
the prohibition republicans who
scratched him in 1901, but he should
have an increased republican vote be-
cause he has given the state good
administration, and the first voters
coming on will be largely republican.
All democrats regard Mr.. Cummins'
REIMBURSEMENT Of the shelter of
monopoly" doctrine, in the tarifr
plank he agreed to, as an evidence Of
his re-awakening loyalty to orthodox
protection, and assert that before the
presidential contest Of 1904 comes on
he will be ready to support the most
radical declaration the party can
make along protective tariff lines.

EREE TRADE UNPOPULAR.


II there are those who think there
is no politics in England, and that
the English people are all fond OF
Free Trade, they should peruse some
of the pamphlets that have just lani-
ed in this office through the kindness
Of Col. Swain, U. s. Consul at South
ampton. They advocate Tariff Re-
form from all view points and pro-
duce enough facts to convince the
most skeptical that Free Trade is a
milestone around the neck Of any
country.
1t must be remembered that Tariff
Reform in England means exactly the
reverse of what Tariff Reform in this
country means. There 1t signifies an
honest effort to get away from the
evils of free trade and make 1t pos,
sibie for laboring men to earn better
than starvation wages. Here ii
means a tearing down Of the system
that has been the biggest boon to
labor that the world has ever seen.
A wonderfully clear lesson is con-
tanned in one Of the pamphlets adj
dressed to the Artisans of Europe"
