FAITH AND REASON.

Two travellers started on tour
With trust and knowledge laden;
One was man with mighty brain,
And one gentle maiden.
They joined their hands and vowed to
Companions for a season.
The gentle maiden'S name was Faith
The mighty mans was Reason
He sought all knowledge from this worl,
And every world anear it;
All matters and all mind were his,
But hers was only spirit.
If any stars were missed from Heaven
His telescope could find them;
But while he only found the stars,
She found the God behind them
He sought for truth above, below,
All hidden things revealing;
She only sought it woman-Wise,
And found it in her feeling,
He said: This earth's rolling ball.
And so doth science prove it;
He but discovered that it moves
She found the strings that move it.
He reads with geologic ease
The record of. the ages;
Unfolding strata, he translates
Earth's wonder-Written pages.
He digs around a mountain base
And measures with a plummet;
She leaps it with single bound
And stands upon the summit
He brings to light the secret force
In natures labyrinth lurking,
And binds 1t to his onward car
% To do his mighty working
He sends his message DER the earth
And down where sea gems glisten;
She sendeth hers to God Himself,
Who bends His ear to listen.
All things in science, beauty, art,
In common they inherit;
But he has only clasped the form,
While she has clasped the spirit.
He tries from earth to forge a key
To ope the gate of Heaven!
That key is in the maiden'S heart
And back it's bolts are driven
They part! Without her all is dark;
His knowledge, vain and hollow;
For Faith has entered in with God,
Where Reason may not follow
Elizabeth York Case, in Thrift.

in Iowa, but it isn't-it's Chicago.
The fact is Chicago is not all city.
1t is part country, and corn is grown az
a staple crop in the country section.
Within the city limits may be found
considerable number of farms of
considerable size, and if you travel in
or out of the city on most any one OF
its 26 railroads you will pass through
large fields of corn, of wheat, of oats,
and Of vegetables, and on the ground
on which they are grown city taxes are
being paid. Some of these farms are
laid out in town lots with streets and
avenues running through them, and
while the farmer waits for the pur-
chaser of his lots he tills the soil as
he did of old.
Nor do all of these Chicago farms
lie about the outskirts of the city.
One of them, at least, is located in the
very heart of the business district, and
the value of the ground on which the
corn is being grown is estimated at
81 900 a square foot. It lies at the
foot of LaSalle street, not more than
a stones throw from the stock ex-
change building, and within ten min
utes' walk of the board of trade.
But this corn field is a diminutive
affair. 1t measures IL by 40 feet
square, and the farm hand who has
cultivated it is rata 500 per month.
Fireman Frank McCahill, of the fire.
boat Illinois," is the farmer, and he
expects to harvest at least one peck
of corn from his field.

revolutionists. They are demanding at
long range governmental reforms for
Europe, which they did not dare de-
mand at home. Here no uniformed
official stands as censor over their pro-
ductions; they are not hustled off to
prison for les majestic; every revolu-
ton of their presses is not registering
a stroke from a prison keepers whip
against them.
Carloads of the product of these
presses are shipped annually to Europe
and cross the frontiers of the countries
for which they are intended without
passing under the eye of the customs
officials CT the police. They go to
Russia, to Finland, to Hungary, to the
Balkan principalities. Many a poor
Russian Jew has paid the penalty of
having Chicago printed book found
in his home, but the work goes on day
in and day out, and the cry from
Europe is constantly for more.

A Change in FOrmanshIp.

With this week Mr.. Ralph Pres
colt retires from the position of fore
man in this office. and is packing his
household effects, preparatory to re-
moving to Fairbault, Mimi, where
he has accepted position as foreman
of the Fairbault Daily and Weekly
Journal, prominent paper of that
city. This will give him All oppor-
tunity for a wider field of work. and
he will probably do editorial work as
we'll. During the year that Mr.. Pres
cout and family have been in DEBORAH
they have made many warm friends,
who have found them affable and
agreeable persons of high character
and pleasing disposition, and while
they regret their departure from the
city, will wish them abundant success
in their new home. Mrs. Prescott
and the children will make an ex-
tended visit with her parents at Lans-
ing before going to Fairbault.
Our nYw foreman, MI. Harry W.
Holmes, is we'll known to the people
of DEBORAH He has been resident
of the city for ten years past. and he
and his estimable wife have many
friends who will be pleased to know
that they will remain in the city.
He has been employed in some of the
very best job printing plants and
newspapers Of the state and as an ar
tistic workman has few equals in this
section. We consider ourselves very
fortunate in being able to keep him in
DEBORAH and to have him associated
with us in our work.

COURT HOUSE CONTRACTS LET.
The Same Contractor, 0. H. Olson, Gets
Contract for Completing Court House.
Kinney & Detweiler Will be
Architects.

AS will be seen from the official pro-
ceedings of the Board of Supervisors,
published elsewhere in these columns,
the Board ON last Wednesday awarded
to Mr.. o. H. Olson, of Saltwater,
Mimi, the contractor who is erecting
the court house, the contract for its
completion for the sum of $50, 236.
This is for the completion of the
building, except heating, plumbing
and furnishing. We believe the Board
has done wisely in letting the remain
der of the structure to Mr.. Olson. 1t
is the common opinion that Winnie
shelk county is getting strictly
honest job, and that his contract so
far has been fulfilled to the letter with
out friction or dispute, that he is all
honest. conscientious man, and that
he can complete the building cheaper
than any new contractor. While the
figures were being compared by the
Board peculiar coincidence was
noticed, that the contract for the COM
pleted building is SILL that the
contract was made at the 18th hour
Of the 18th day of the IL month of the
year, a combination that beats the
proyerbial 4-11-4i all to pieces. 1t
will be No. 1 court house. indeed.
Kinney & Detweiler, the architects,
were also given the contract for the
remainder of the work. The plans
made by them have given such uni
versal satisfaction that all are pleased
with their selection.

MEN IN RANKS ASK
OFFICERS REMOVAL
Continued From First Page

in the carnival parade next week, but
it is understood that there is a move
on foot among the members of the bat
terry to refuse toe march, providing
Capt. Larson is in command Another
objection to marching in the military
parade made by the, battery is that
they are expected to march on foot and
without sidearms. They contend that
so long as they. are a battery they
should be furnished with the proper
equipment.
Maj. Lambert in some manner learn
ed of the fact that the battery mem
bers We're cireula ting petition which
practically asks for the removal of
Capt. Larson, and last night after the
guard drill a meeting of the officers
was called by Maj Lambert, at which
the action is said to have been dis
cussed in secret. Just what action will
be taken is not known, but unless
Capt Larson is removed it is stated on
good authority that the battery will
not be in the military parade.
The fact that Capt. Larson ordered
his men to go across the river and fire
a salute of welcome to President
Roosevelt upon the occasion of his re-
cent visit to the city, when they had
expected to be in the line of march, did
not tend to make Capt. Larson more
popular with his men, many of whom
considered it an insult to the battery
to cut them out of the parade and
place them on the hill across the river,
where they had no opportunity what
ever to be seen.
