The legend of "What is Home
Without a Mother?" evidently has the
same effect on the Cedar Rapids Gazette
as the Haunting of q red rag has upon
an enraged bull, as the following from
its paper will verify, 1--WE happened
in home the other night and over the
psrlor door saw the legend worked in
letters of red, "Whst is home without
mother" Across the room was anoth-
or brief, "God bless our home" Now,
what's the matter with "God bless our
dad?" He gets up early, lights the fire,
boils the egg, grabs his dinner pail and
wipes off the dew of the dawn with his
boots while many mother is sleeping.
He makes the weekly handout for the
butcher, the grocer, the milkinsn and
banker, and his little pile is badly worn
before he has been home an hour. HI

paid up. Ifthere is noise during the
night dad is kicked in the back and
made to go downstairs to find the bur
glar and kill him. Mother dsrns the
socks in the first place and the needles
and the yarn afterward. Mother does
up the fruit; we'll, dad bought it all, and |
jars and sugar cost like the mishief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday din
ner, carves them himself and draws the
neck from the ruins after every one else

but what is home without father?

Rev. B. M. Amsden.

at the ripe old age of eighty-four
years, Rev. b. M. Amsden, one of the
oldest and best known residents of this
city died at his home here, last Wednes-
day, and the funeral services were held
at the family residence last Friday af-
ternoon, Rev. a. w. Csul, pastor of the
Baptist church, officiating.
Benjamin Monroe Amsden was born
in Chautauqua county, New York, Dec.
IS, 1878, and his early life was spent up.
on his fathers farm. He was gradu-
ate of Williams college, and in 1886,
soon after he graduated, spent the
next two years of his life in the South,
going from there to Oberlin in 1S4s
where he became student in the theo-
logical department of the we'll known
college at that place, graduating there
from the following year.
For many years thereafter he fol-
lowed his profession as preacher, first
in his native county, then in the vicin-
ity of Belvidere, Illinois, afterwards In
Dubuque county, and from there he
came to this county.
In 1854, while he was located in
Boone county, he came to what is now
the city of Manchester and purchased
a considerable tract of real estate
which is included within the corporate
limits.
On December 4, 1855, at Belvidere,
Illinois, he was united in marriage with
Miss Reliance Avery and in 1858 they
became residents of this place, remain
ing here until 1861. The next ten years
they spent in various places in Illinois
and Dubuque county, returning to this
city in 1871. which has since been their
permanent home.
Mr.. Amsden was man of positive
convictions, and expressed them freely
and fearlessly. He was an honest, up
right and conscientious man, and 9
good, true and public spirited citizen.
He is survived by his widow and five
children, Avery, Geo. s., Will c., and
Miss Harriet Amsden, and Mrs. Carrie
Stranger.

Captain J.F.Merry of Dubuque has
been in the city this week comforting
with decorators, plumbers, electricians,
ETC., with respect to putting his old
home, corner of Franklin and Union
streets, in order. The house has been
undergoing extensive repairs for some
months past, and it had been Captain
Merrys desire, as we'll as that of their
many friends here, that Mrs. Merry
might be brought back to the home
which had been theirs so long to spend
her last hours with friends of lifetime
and amid familiar scenes. But this
consolation was denied. Captain
Merry will, however, return here as soon
as the house is ready for occupancy.
His offices will be retained in Dubuque.
His public spirit, energy and llberality
make him citizen of the highest value
to community and his old friends will
rejoice sincerely to know that he is
soon to be among them again. Next

Labor aad Injunetions.

Some judge in New York has
granted an injunction against a
trade union's forbiddlng its menu
; bers to strike for the purpose Of
compelling an employer to employ
union men only-to adopt the rule
Of the CLOSED shop" Thus does
government by injunction adj
vance another step.
: 1t the courts can grant injunc-
tons against striking for a
''closed shop" they can grant IN
functions against striking for
shorter hours or against longer
hours, for an increase Of wages or
against q reduction, for sanitary
conditions or against unsanitary
conditions. And when they have
gone thus far, they will have laid
: q foundation for regulating every
body's life by the ready method Of
injunction orders and contempt
proceedings.
The expanding notion that trade
unions monopolize labor and that
the "closed shop" deprives out
siders of work is not true. What
the unions may yet do in that
direction IS another question. As
yet they deprive no workmen of
opportunities to work. They sim
ply say that any workman may be-
long to their organization If he
wishes to. aud that they will not
work by the side Of any man who
refuses To join them and contrib
ute his share toward checking the
sggressions Of employers. This
they have a right to do. True,
they thereby in sense coerce men
who may not wish to pay union
dues But how do they coerce?
Merely by refusing to be shop
mates with men who refuse to be
union mates with them. To deny
this right OF coercion to any man
b to deprive him OF his individual
riRhts. To deny it to him il others
Join with him in such refusal, is
none the less to deprive him Of his
individual rights. No one can lose
any individual right because others
with the same right assert their
right when he asserts hia-The

Hamilton's Office"
1--WE also have been young, Van
Heemskirk."
81 forget not, my friend. My Joris
sees not me, and l will not see him"
Then the two old men were silent,
but their eyes were fixed on the youth
and maiden, who were slowly advanc-
ing toward them.
She might have stepped out of the
folded leaves of a rosebud, so lovely
was her face, framed in its dark curls.
Her dress was of some soft, green ma
terial; and she carried in her hand a
bunch of daffodiis. She was small
but exquisitely formed, and she
walked with fearlessness and distinc-
ton.
OF all this charming womanhood the
young man at her side was profoundly
conscious. A tall, sunbrowned, mill
tary-looking young man, as handsome
as a Greek god. He was also very
finely dressed, in the best and highest
mode; and he wore his sword as if it
were a part of himself. Indeed, all
his movements were full Of confidence
and case; and yet it was the vivacity,
vitality, and ready response of his
face that was most attractive.
His wonderful eyes were bent upon
the maid at his side; he saw no other
earthly thing. With a respectful Gag
erness, full of admiration, he talked
to her; and she answered his words
whatever they were-with a smile
that might have moved mountains.
They passed the two old men without
any consciousness of their presence,
and Van Heemskirk smiled, and then
sighed, and then said softly
so much youth, and beauty, and
happiness! 1t is a benediction to have
seen it, shall not reprove Joris at
this time But now | must go back
to Federal Hail."
When their eyes turned to the
Moran house the vision of youth and
beauty had dissolved. Van Heems-
kinks grandson, Lieut.. Hyde, was
fastening towards Broadway; and the
lovely Cornelia Moran was sauntering
up the garden of her home, STOPPING
occasionally to examine the pearl
powdered auriculas or to Irvine around
it's support some vine. struggling out
of its proper place.
Then Van Ariens hurried down to
his tanning pits in the swamp; and
Van Heemskirk went thoughtfully to
Broad street When he reached Fed
eral Hall. he stood a minute in the
doorway; and with inspired eyes
looked at the splendid, moving pic
trre; then he walked proudly toward

Bacteria and Flavor.

The great difficulty with most butter
makers is that they do not COM
prehend that it is a certain kind OF
bacteria that largely controls the fla
vor. Even cleanliness in every sense
of the word does not always result in
milk souring with the best flavor, as
all COWS are usually MIXED in the
stable during the winter months and
In a real warm barn we usually find
that the putrefactive bacteria are
found in abundance. These get into
the milk while milking and contain
mate it before it reaches the cream
ery. A maker cannot tell by the taste
or smell Just how the milk is going
to sour.
The introduction Of starters or
nure cultures is benefiting the dairy
business of the country by introduc-
ing higher skilled labor. The igno-
rant careless maker who does every
thing by chance rather than by rule
will soon be relegated to the rear. In
his place will come the intelligent.

Care of the Sow and Pigs.

The brood SOW, which is due to far
row in a short time, should be given
the best of care and treatment that
she may be able to pass through far
rowing. and sucking time with the
least possible loss Of flesh. Her feed
should consist of a balanced ration,
that she may be able to supply all the
demands of the growing pigs, and 1t
should be of such form that it will not
be constipating; but rather acting as
a laxative. A good ration for preg-
nant SOW, to be used up till time Of
narrowing, consists of grain ration
of corn and a slop composed of equal
parts of middlings and gluten feed
with a little bone meal and oil meal
added. She should be fed literally
on the above feeds until day or two
before narrowing when the corn should
be dropped and oats substituted. This
will serve as a laxative and will help
to alleviate the fever which arises
during narrowing. Her treatment
should be such that she may be petted
at any time during narrowing, when
she should be attended, and as fast as
the little pigs come they should be
dried and placed where they may
suckle Observation-Disclosures Iowa
