Les Miserables.

He raked and scraped at the thunder
ing lawn, and he raked and swept all
day; and he gathered the trash into
little piles, and carried it all away.
Oh, gayly he swore as he wrought and
toiled, he swore till the air was blue:
and so would | at similar job, and
so, my dear would you. When even
ing came the lawn was clear, and he
sat by the well and cried; for his
whiskers were full of old dead leaves,
and thorns were in his side: and he
swore by the rood of st. Elginbrod,
what ever that rood may be, that he
never would clean up a lawn again
while he was an agent free. His joints
were sore and his back did ache, and
he went to his downy bed; and "his
lawn is as smooth as a lawn can be,
dad bless him." the neighbors said.
While the poor man slept tempest
arose, and the winds did their dirty
best; they blew from the north, they
blew from the south, they blew from
the sinful west; and they dumped ole
papers and rags and things on the
lawn where he'd toiled that day; anC
they covered the trees with potato
tops, and the grass with moldy hay
and they strewed dead hens and de
parted cats and tinware and thing:
like those; and who can describe tn,
grief and wrath of the victim, when hi
arose? He looked out doors at tn,
old dead hens, and his glance wa:
stern and high; he looked askant a
the moldy hay, and tear stood il
his eye.
"You may send for the hearse ant
the coal black team" he murmured il
anguished tones; ''you may dress m,
up in a shelf worn shroud and plan
me among the bones, for there's n,
sense in the life lead--let's sing tn,
funeral song" Yet he still lived OF
for many year, though his hear
was q broken thing; and he toilet
| away as he always tolled, but no one
e'er heard him sing; and he still con
versed with his fellow souls, and wen
to the haunts of men, but his face was
grim and his eyes were sad, and he
never smiled again.
The merriest jest left him unmoved
and the shining shafts of wit, glanced
as bullets of lead will glance, when a
target of steel is hit; at dusk he would
hear the cries of children at their play
but he only thought of the old dead
hens, and the cats and prairie hay
and he wrung his hands in strong
mans grief and went to his lonesome
den, where he sat in silence all alone,
and he never smiled again.-Walt
Mason in the Lincoln Journal.

Pope Leo XIII, who died Monday
afternoon, was one of the truly great
and good characters of the age. He
impressed the world with his learning,
craftsmanship and his piety, People
of all creeds, whether they believed on
religious subjects as he believed or
not, came to respect him for his great
qualities. Elected as pope when he
was an old and physically weak man,
90 years of age, he has surprised man
kind by his vitality, reigning over
twenty-five years. His conduct was
marked by liberality towards peoples
of other creeds.

Cedar Falls Gazette: Neither the
primary nor the caucus will do away
with political clashing. Factions al
ways have existed and always will.
1t would indicate party decay, if no
more than one man wanted office, or 1t
might be charged by the opposite par
ty that it was all ring, cut and dried
from the beginning ard hencenew par
ties would spring up All about. To be
satisfied is to die a political death.
What is the difference which system
is used so long as men are free to
speak and use their influence for their
fayorites? 1t is nonsense for the
stay-at-homes to condemn any party
for choice of candidates. The stay
at-home has the same privilege his
neighbor enjoys and let him use it as
an honest, an upright citizen interest
ed in the welfare of his country ought
TO do. We have been in many politi-
cal fights, but never came out disgrun-
tied because we failed to win. We
admired our opponent, If he did his
work honestly in getting to the front.
1t is the bad spirit men put into cam
paigns that makes bad results. No
country in the world has such free
for-all method of choosing its repre-
sentatives and we fail to appreciate
our liberties in that respect when we
stay at home and let the bad element
run the communities. .

Driving through Henry and Des
Moines counties last week, overland
to Burlington, we ran across the good
old fashioned finger post, first we'd
seen In many year. At every cor
ner and cross roads signboard
pointed in dumb but eloquent Ian
guage the way to the next town, Sd
that the wayfarer could be on the
right track and calculate to a nicely
how far his journey wtas halliday. It's a
very nice custom. And it's custom
that is required by law. Time was
when the sign post was not unknown
in this region, but observance OF the
law has long since passed away and
the rule is become as a dead letter on
the statute books, though still there
in fact. We wish it might be revived
here. -Keota Eagle.

Speaking of the recent socialist con-
vention at Des Moines and of their
platform the Dallas County News says:
None of these fellows are million
aires and they never expect to be.
They do not own any good farms and
they never expect to own any. They
have no stock in railroads or factories
and they never expect to own any. In
fact they are the fellows who have but
little and who want what the other
fellow has got. They do not believe
any man has any business working
hard, getting up early and staying up
late, saving what he can and carefully
investing what he saves and finally
getting rich, then being allowed TO
keep what he has got. In fact they
think it his duty to divide with the
fellow who sits on dry goods box
and tells people how to save the
country -

Crop Bulletin.

For week ending July 20, 1903.
The past week afforded four or five
days of fine weather for hay making
and harvesting small grain, and the
time was well improved. A large
amount of well cured hay has been
put into stacks and barns, and the
quality of the crop is generally up to
the average. The showers of the 18th
and 18th were timely and very bene-
fetal, except in limited areas in the
northern and eastern districts where
damage resulted from heavy down
pours. In the southern districts the
showers were generally light, and in
some places the surface is becoming
hard and dry. The general condition
of the corn crop Appeals now as to
be steadily improving, though the
temperature for the week was slightly
below normal. survey of the fields
will show unusual variation in the
size and appearance of the corn plant
ranging from twelve inches to the
normal tasseling height, and it is ev-
ident that extremely ,favorablew weather
will be required to bring the belated
portion of the crop to maturity.
Spring wheat and oats are affected
by rust, especially the late seeded por-
tions, and the quality of the grain will
be somewhat impaired. The barley
harvest is well advanced and early
seeded wheat and oats are in shock.
Reports indicate that the early potato
is below expectations, being affected
by blight and rot. The apple crop is
appearing to hold its own and the
Weld of early fruit is good,

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea.

got temporary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six long
years have suffered more misery and
agony than | can tell. 1t was worse
than death. My husband spent humid
reds of dollars for physicians and
treatment without avail. Finally we
moved to Boone county, our present
home, and one day happened to see
an advertisement of Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy with the testimonial of man who
had been cured by it. The case was
so similar to my own that l concluded
to try the remedy. The result was
wonderful. | could not realize that
was we'll again, or believe that
could be so after having suffered sc
long, but that one bottle of medicine
costing but a few cents cured me. ,

jeremiah b. Sullivan will in all
probability receive the most consider
ate treatment in his campaign for
governor. He is personally worthy
of the highest consideration, but po-
litically he is notbetter than his party.
He represents the same democracy
that Fred White and Tom Philips
stood for and is just as good as they
were and no better. One can not sep
arate a candidate from his party,

Iowa is said to be the best field in

prosperous towns where the people
are intelligent and DESTROYS OF high

these enterprises. Iowa is also de-
veloping her share of first class lec-
turers. Prominent among them are

and l.. b. Wickersham, of Indianola.
Congressman Wade and Rev. Green, of
Cedar Rapids, recently have entered
the lists. Then there are very many
other, lecturers, mostly preach
ers, who occasionly deliver lectures.
There are many others who are
able orators who are too busy or are
disinclined to go on the lecture plat
form. Among these we might mention
Congressman Cousins, Gov. Cummins,
Congressman Walter |. Smith, Nate
Kendall, B. |. Salinger and host of
others who would be eminently success
full If they should devote themselves to
amusing, instructing and spell-bind-
ing. A lot of them, perhaps, do not

Governor Cummins, as we'll as his

The state bar association has lots
of ideas about how the law ought to
be changed. Its members are made
up largely of men whose business is
administering law. They thus be-
come more familiar with heconditions
of society which the law is meant to
affect than ordinary citizens. 1t is
therefore natural when they meet for
them to go to passing resolutions for
new legislation.
