Sometimes the humorous enters into
church affairs as well as other affairs
of life. In this connection we are told
the following, the absolute authenticity
CT which is reliably vouched for. In
certain denomination a member was be-
ing tried on the charge of drunkenness.
Speeches were being made in favor of
turning the hayward brother out instead
CT giving him another showing and sem
timent seemed to be pretty evenly divid
ed. While the decision was at a heated
point a member noted for his difficulty
of proper enuncation rose and in his
gutteral language asked the presiding Of
ficer if the accused member had "huked.
The officer could not grasp the meaning
at first and several times the question
was repeated. Finally the brother Of
the member who could not make himself
understood explained that he mean, "did
The accused brother puke." This slight
ly inflamed the presiding officer who
asked. what that had to do with it?"
Well" said the member difficult of
speech, ''then If he didn't he is not gull
ty, for the Bible says it is not what goes
in a man that defileth MIN, but what
comes out" Thereupon the brother was
cleared.-Rocky Mount Motor.

All our farmer readers should take adj
vantage of the unprecedented clubbing
offer we this year make, which includes
with this paper The Iowa Homestead, its
Special Farmers Institute Editions and
The Poultry Farmer. These three pub.
LEGATIONS are the best of their class and
should be in every farm home. To them
we add, for local, county and general
news, our own paper. and make the price
of the four one year only $1.45. Never be-
fore was so much superior reading matter
offered for so small an amount of money.
The three papers named which we club
with our own, are we'll known throughout
the West, and commend themselves to
the readers favorable attention upon mere
mention. The Iowa Homestead is the
great agricultural and live stock paper of
the West; The Poultry Farmer is the most

Water Works Proposition Carried

Last Monday was election to
settle the question of bonding this
city in the sum of $500, to erect a
sTAND-PIPE (that was the PROPOSE
tom extend the water mains put in
laterals and purchase hose. The
question had been thoroughly dis
cussed pro and con and on last Sat
urday there would have been few
bets taken that the proposition
would carry, yet when the time for
opening the polls came our citizens
seem to have made up their minds
what to do and did do what they
considered to be the right thing,
for at the close of the election it was
found that there were 155 ballots
cast of which 1872 were tor the
measure and but % against it, a
clear majority of 100. At the last
city election there were 20S ballots
cast so one can easily calculate the
number who were indifferent to the
measure or who could not go to the
polls, yet if all those who stayed at
home had went and voted against
| the proposition it would still have
carried. Now the city fathers have
the vote of the citizens to sustain
| them in their action every one will
look forward to their pushing the
matter to an early completion max
ing the money voted reach as far as
possible toward the several objects
| set forth in the resolution.

The Glory of the Girl.

She was on the platform reading
her essay. Shelooked as if she had
Just stepped out OF flower bed. In
her cheek the carnation had left its
glow and her lips had robbed the
roses. She was a healthy, fragrant,
glowing, American girl, of a type
that we love and protect and honor.
Her essay or Grafton: Something
that told of throbbing hope and
ambition and rosy skies. Hard
knocks are few in the chrysalis
period. Why shouldn't this gradu-
alton girl for time believe in the
entire goodness Of the world be-
lieve in perpetual sunshine: The
band plays raggy music for her
now; her pulses quicken and she is
happy. it's we'll. Why should she
know that further down the path
there are no flowers, the bands do
not play and the clouds often shut
out the sun:
Let her have her good times, this
Graduation Girl. Let her glory in
her triumphs and be proud of her
attainments. There can never be
too much happiness in the world;
there is always too much sorrow.
Down in the front row are father
and mother, man and woman who
have toiled and suffered and borne
much. 1t is the common lot. 1t
puts deep care lines into faces, and
| sometimes 1t wrinkles hearts, but
not always.
If you will look closely you will
see that that old couple have just
one object in life-the Girl. She is
| of their blood. She is slippinp
away from them as the years go by
and often the mother cries silently
because of sorrow that is too deeI
for words. She is proud of he1
Graduation Girl, but her arms are
empty, and there is an ache in he1
heart for the baby that has bios
somed into woman. Men love
deeply and truly, but there is holy
affection that is denied them
Mothers know it-mothers only.
The essay! To those old folks i
represents the climax of wisdom
the eliminate of learning. TIL
words flow like music, and there i
a hymn in every paragraph. Tru
affection wears rose colored glasses
you know.
And then, when it is all over,
queen goes to her home. She seem
just little bit higher than an
other girl, does this graduation
daughter, and she talks to fathe
about it, and to mother, and her eye
shine, there is sob in her throa
and she discovers all at once, that
wasn't the applause of the grea
world she yearned for but the gran
appreciation of an old man and a
old woman; not so much desir
for fame and career as to justif
their wonderful faith in her abilit,

A GENTLE DOWN POUR ALL DAY
All Plans Frustrated. Soldiers Not
Forgotten. Live in Deeds En-
graved High on the Walls
of Memory.

Saturday was one of the series of
dark and gloomy days and the
heavens seemed to weep and not be
satisfied. In the morning some
hope was entertained that the
clouds would disperse and services
be held but the steady drizzle shut
Off all idea of any program. To the
present generation it was a day OF
disappointment To the generation
that withstood the brunt of the
great epoch making part of our his
tory it was but a reiteration of times
we'll known to them. The veil of
the past was rent asunder and they
saw their companions of many
campaigns. They saw their heroic
leader Grant, at Vicksburg and the
July sun again shone down on
them until victory drove away
every thought of suffering. They
saw bloody Antietam and the awful
carnage of Gettysburg. Then they
heard the glad news of Appomattox
and were soon again marching in
columns shoulder to shoulder down
the streets of the Capital and soon
throwing off the blue to assume the
plain citizen dress. Home to those
they love and those who loved
them. At this time new scenes
come to them. They see a great
and united republic. They see from
out the heart of the south a new lite
spring forth and those who wore
the blue spreading flowers side by
side with those who wore the gray
upon the graves of a more recent
conflict, but it was one flag, one
country, one great idea. These
pictures supplanted the flower and
if from some place out of the
obscure future those who have
answered to the last roll call, looked
down on the living, they could not
Judge that they had been neglected
or forgotten.

Michael Metz braved the rain
mud and high waters last Friday,
and accompanied by Father Fallen
schmidt started for Wiota, where
Mr. Metz afterwards took the train
for Atlantic to transact some bust
ness. From what we learn when
they got to near Wiota Father Fail
enschmidt concluded that if that
was what they call "roughing it,
he would take no more of that in his,
SO he promptly alighted and fgur-
atively speaking camped right there
but really he was taken in and right
handsomely entertained by one of
his Wiota parishioners until such
time as his companion in muddy
tribulation returned. The return
trip Saturday was filled with excite
ment and at one time danger, for
arriving at Troublesome near the
Hamlin farm they found it raging
torrent but anxious to get home,
they got man to mount his horse
and fastening long rope to one of
the horses and fastening the other
to the pommel of the saddle he
bravely piloted the two occupants
of the buggy, who were perched up
on the seat ready for jump, safely
through nearly or quite one-halt
mile of water to safety and from
whence they in time safely reached
home but, oh, the mud, the mud.

Claude and Charley Andrews
write to friends in this city that they
like a part of Canada they have
seen but intend to still look further.
They were in part of the Montana
blizzard which was not so severe
where they were as further south.
They lay the blame on the sheep
men for the great loss in sheep, in
not providing shelter and hay to
meet just such sudden storms as
are likely to come in that region.
