How much more our bill OF fare Is
TO be trimmed to suit the newer notions
OF the day is somewhat difficult to
imagine. Aside from the pure theory
of the matter, we may in the end be
forced 10 believe that man was never
made for a mixed diet, that his stom-
ach and complicated intestinal appar-
atus are merely an accidental survival
OF useless organs, OF which the insig-
nificant and troublesome appendix is
the type Experience, however, against
which there is never much of an argu-
ment. must prove its value against the
mere logic of arbitrary rules. The
hungry man with juicy steak before
him will continue his hurtful habit of
loading his stomach with unnecessary
fodder In spite of all theories to the
contrary. His instructive need for just
such nourishment as he takes will an
swer all other questions.

As Russell Sage Is regarded all over
this country as a parsimon1ouss man
from whom nobody ever expected q
generous, sympathetic or humane SEN
tlment to proceed, his article In the
Independent on 1.-THE Injustice Of Va
cations" will probably excite no feel
ing but resentment and contempt, and
still 1t contains just enough truth to
keep it from being absurd. Mr.. Sags's
Indictment against 1.-The vacation hab-
IT. when analyZed contains three
counts. In the first place, he thinks
vacation is an outrage on the legal
rights Of tho employer. InEthe second
place, he contends that vacation In
stead Of being recuperative process
depletes q mans vitality, wastes his
money and returns him to his work a
less valuable employe than he was be-
fore. In the third place, he charges
that it betrays want Of business am
bitlon. In regard to the first objection
1t may be freely admitted, as Mr.. Sage
says, that there Is no more Justice in
an employee being paid for two weeks
without working than there would be
in his working two weeks without pay,
but that is not a fair statement OF the
case The presumption is that the
| employees pay is adjusted to the vaca-
| ton habit That this Is 50 is proved
| by the fact that vacations are not
granted until employees have been a
| year In their positions. The second
| objection--that vacations do people
more harm than good-has just grain
of truth In 1t. There Is no doubt that
| a number of people return from their
vacations not only worn out but dis
gusted and deeply impressed tnat they
will never take anotner Strange to
say, however there are people In good
circumstances who have money enough
| to pass the summer anywhere they
| please. With poor people the effect of
| the vacation is just the opposite. The
| hard worked clerk and the physical
| toiler returns from his outing Boosting
aloud Of his diversions and his i'm
proved health. That he is worth less
| to his employer than he was before his
1
vacation cannot be true. Certainly
employers do not seem to think so.
| In the third place, Mr. Sage thinks
that If a young man has the proper
ambition to be a good workman and to
rise In his business he will be too much
| in love with the workshop or the store
| to leave it for a vacation. He backs 1t
up with his own example and says he
i has never taken a days vacation in
| eighty-three years. This Is the same
as to say that II man has proper
devotion to his business he will put
every rule of health at defiance and do
| the best he can to work himself to
death. Nobody thinks this except Mr..
Sage AS general thing the Ameri-
can people work too hard and take too
| little rest and recreation. To Euro
peans they appear to be business mad
and our own physicians are all agreed
that this incessant activity has made
nervous prostration n dlstinctively
American disease. They say we need
shorter hours and more holidays, and
probably they are right about 1t. Still,
everyone will agree with Mr.. Sage
| that there Is a good deal of humbug
| about vacations, especially among we'll
| TODD people

Obituary

Died at the Swedish hospital in
Minneapolis Wednesday, Sept. 81, 1904,
of tuberculosis of the bowels Miss Hulda
Booth, Of Brownton, Mimi, aged about
twenty-fiv years.
Miss Booth came to Webster about
three years q and accepted a position
with Leonard Cornelius in the grocery
store. A little later she was employed
in the Elevator Store. In 1902 she
made her home with Mrs. D. E. Wallace
until she accepted a position in the
post Office. In November last year she
was taken i'll and was compelled to
resign her position. After being con-
fined at the home Of her sister, Mrs.
Chard in this city for ONE time she
was able to return to her home at
Brownton. For several months her
health was very poor and then came
a change for the better and relatives
and friends believed she was going to
completely recover. A little over a
week ago she was taken to Minneapolis
for an operation which was believed to
have been successful. Messrs. Chard
and Krause. of this city, were present
in the city and everything possible was

Sunday morning Police Martin
received a wire TO look out for a man
coming down the railroad from Bristol
who had stolen the bird dog belonging
to Agent Noble at the Milwaukee
station at that place. The police met
the man and demanded the dog which
was Immediately released and the fell
low started to run Mr.. Martin shot in
the air a couple of times and demanded
the fellow to stop, but he was too
frightened to stop and took to his legs
as fast as he could across the country.

campaign in Brown county the Aber-
deem News thus speaks of +. w. Taylor
formerly of this city: "E. w. Taylor
of this city made the lengthiest speech
of the evening and his effort was a
mastery argument. He said in OPEN
ing that it was his belief that the demo-
cratic party was a party of lawyers, as
every platform it has wei made has
been in the nature of an indictment.
He then proceeded to disprove the alle-
cations against the present admins
tration. His argument was logical and
lucid, showing that the speaker was
well acquainted with his subject.
l.. Sherwood, the Jewell Nursery
man, had a spirited runaway last Fri
day night. His team was frightened
by Charley Mofitt's automobile near
the Heath residence. The team began
to plunge, but was under good control
until one of the neck yoke straps gave
way. The horses then tore down the
sidewalk and over the young trees in
front of the Heath and Moore places.
Mr.. Sherwood held on, but the whiffie-
trees were pulled up against the team,
and kept them moving at a race horse
pace. Near the park they took an
oblique shoot across the street where
the buggy hub struck a telephone pole,
throwing u the driver, who still
chung to n line. He was dragged
about half a block, when the team was
stopped in the millet field across the
road from the park. Mr.. Sherwood
had N shoe torn off, but showed no
signs OF injury. The buggy was
injured somewhat but the plucky
driver hitched up and drove off as
though nothing had happened. His
chances for getting killed seemed to be
better than that Of getting out alive,
and it is probable that in being thrown
SO he couldn't pull the buggy on the
horses heels saved him from greater
disaster, and enabled him to stop the
