"Why, Mr.. Brown! To think It is
you who would thus ruthlessly ride
over me with your juggernaut!"
She looked at him reproachfully
with mischief in her swapping eyes.
Her lips were tantalizingly like ripe
cherries and had played havoc with
his composure on equal grounds ere
this-and now she was actually de-
ploying upon his shattered forces with
her eyes!
His tongue got into a twist, the
color mounted his brow and he was
making a bad mess of 1t when
happy thought struck him. He would
loan her the bicycle. 1t belonged to
his sister and was a drop frame. She
could ride while he rested.

He stopped suddenly! Her face had
changed its witching contour to cold
and injured rightly. That he had
greatly displeased her was evident, as
she bowed stifly and, passing into a
by.path. walked proudly away.
Like one stunned he stood there i'm.

right hand.
Horrors! He had not only offered
her the bicycle but the pantalOon'

II am sitting alone by the fire,
dressed as I came from the dance,
in robe even you would admire, for

&
In a small town on the outskirts of
California was set square frame
house with it's four quarters over a
long range OF mountains. The house
had the distinction of being the home
OF Tom Ellsworth. the we'll known
fanoe of the richest heiress in all the
country round. Tom was anything
hut rich, but he had prospects" and
consequently was regarded as the
most important of all the ranchmen
and miners in that region. He was a
big, handsome, athletic fellow-the
son of a gentleman who had gone
from Massachusetts out to California
for his health, but almost as soon lost
the money he had, and when he died
left Tom, his only son and heir. leg
acy of numerous debts.
Tom had loved Ethel Westover
ever since they had walked hand in
hand to the one public school to-.
gether. Ethels father was miner,
but one day "he struck it rich" and
then came the usual revolution. The
mother had but one thought-of Eth
Ell. then a girl of sixteen. When the
fortune came she was borne away to
fashionable boarding school in New
York amidst tears and promises to
Tom. Then came Paris and London.
In that time the rumor dritted to the
little town of Rocky Mountain" that
Mrs. Westover was trying to forget
all associations with her past. But
there was Tom! And Tom would not

SHELTER FOR TRUSTS

PUBLICAN DOWNFALL.

for the Election Of a Democrat as
President Of the United States.

VIII the free trade newspapers and
the Democratic campaigners who are
trying to make a counter.issue with
the cry that protection is the shelter
OF the trusts" explain why, then, the
trust interests are so furious with the
Republican Administration and party?
Isn't the protective tariff law to-day
what 1t was year ago and two years
ago and three years ago? II the shell
ter of the trusts was, in fact, the
Dingley law before, ought it not to
give the Belmonts and the Havemey-
ers and the other hackers of Judge
Parker as good thing" now as
when they were selling printed paper
calling 1t securities-at fancy
prices, or trying to sell It? What is
the difference between tariff shelter
to-day and one two years ago? II
the Dingley tariff enabled shipbuild-
ing monopolists to put hundreds of
millions of value into watered stock
a couple of years ago, 1t Is strange
that it did not enable them to keep
that value, or any value, in those Sc
curities." So with the common steel
stock. So with any inflated stock that
was tipped off" to be Standard Oil
duplicates, but which has proved, tar
III shelter or no shelter, to be waste
paper.
The truth about the trusts which
have flourished is, of course, as Sena-
tor Gallinger stated the case in the
upper branch of Congress on April 90:

True Test of Prosperity.

The chief result of the tariff in rela-
ton to American industries at this
time seems to be to permit the larger
manufacturers to charge more for the
same goods at home than they do
abroad-a condition which will al
ways be annoying to the home con-
sumers who are unable to believe
that they profit directly from such un-
fair reatment-Detroit Free Press.
The Free Press knows, or ought TO
know better than this. The chief re-
suit of the protective tariff since 1897
has been prosperity and national SOL
vency. 1t is. undoubtedly true that
some concerns sell their surplus pro-
duce abroad a little cheaper than they
do at home, but they are compelled
to do this in order to compete with
foreign manufacturers. However, 1t
is far better for the American consum-
ing public to pay little more for
manufactured goods at home than the
same could be purchased abroad, and
at the same time secure steady en-
ployment and higher wages than can
be secured in Europe. 1t is better for
a workingman in Kalamazoo, for ex-
ample, to pay $12 for suit of clothes
and at the same time earn SO day,
than to live in a country where the
same suit costs $40, but his wages are
only So a day.
The American protective system
has increased enormously the consum-
ing and purchasing capacity OF the
mass of the people. This is the true
test of prosperity.-Kalamazoo Tele-

Mrs. Naomi Shelton.

In tho death of Mrs. Naomi Shelton
we mark the passing OF one Of Decatur
county's pioneers. With her husband
Medley r. Shelton, she came to this
county in 1858, settling on a farm near
Decatur City, where they endured the
privations of the early settling Of this
county. Here were to them the joys Of
the home life; the earnest struggles;
the deep sorrows; the enduring patience
needed in making Of the wild prairie a
beautiful home. Here the parting with
the husband by death and the patience
waiting for the summons Of the grim
reaper.
Naomi French was born in Russell
county, KY, March Is, 1927. She came
to Iowa with her brother-in-law in the
fall of 1915, stopping at Fairfield where
she was united in marriage with Medley
f. Shelton April II, 1846. Fourteen
children were the fruit Of this union.
Six are living, eight having preceded
her to the silent land. Her husband
passed away OH June %, 1891. One
sister is now living, Mrs. Dica Troxel,
of Fredonia, Kas., who is now 80 years
of age and is the last member Of the
family.
She was member of Friendship
Lodge No. II Of the Rebeccas, which
lodge she named, also Of Decatur Chap
ter No. 1872 of the Eastern Star. Best Of
all she became christian early in life
and was faithful to her convictions Of
truth and duty. Three Of her children
are here today, one in Idaho and two in
Oregon. She fell asleep March 18, 1904,
at the home Of her daughter, Sarah
Foulk, at lone, Oregon, aged 70 years, II
months and q days.
"Tossed no more on life's rough pillows,
All tho storms OF sorrow fled,
Death hath found quiet pillow
For the aged christians head,
Peaceful slumbcrs
Guarding now her lowly bed.
Upward from this dying state
Bid her waiting soul aspire;
Open thou the crystal gate;
To thy praise attune her Tyre;
ri Then, triumphant,
She will join the immortal choir"
The funeral was conducted from the
the Christian church Tuesday, March
%, by Elder S. B. Ross, of Seymour.

No. z May Pass Up Charlton.

1t is rumored that fast mail train No. z
will soon quit stopping in Charlton and
will make direct run through the city
the same as in smaller towns, simply
throwing off the mail for this town and
the south branch and by means Of hook
catch the mail from Charlton going west
from crane as they speed by. Week
before last City Marshal Jones arrested
No. rs crew for running through the
city at an unlawful rate of speed. The
railroad company is under contract to
get the mail through to given point in
a certain length of time, and we under
stand that they think they cannot con-
tinue to make the stop here and run
through our town at a slow rate of
speed. We hope that the rumor is
unfounded and that the change will not
be made.--Chariton Patriot.

Atten ton
Farmers

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can
work out doors every month
in the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. II you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now "eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both tiesh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro-,
portions. Alabama and Florida
produce in abundance the vel
vet bean and cassava, the first a
flesh producer, the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
material known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gem

William Carlysle Garrett.

Decatur has twice within the wee k

Mr.. Garrett was tho fourth child OF
Robert w. and Sarah l. Garrett. His
early life was spent in his native state

1857 having disposed of his farm, he re-
moved to Davis county where he resid-
ed until March "a, 1882, when he came

nunciation Of evil. He was of the type
of whom pioneers are made. The kind
from whom come sons and daughters
who will be true to God and native land.

We leave our holy dead,
To rest in hope From this worlds sutferlngs
Their souls have led"
