OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
The Disappearance Of the Yankee.

The Disappearance Of the Yankee.
Not that there is anything partic-
ularly sad about it. but the Yankee,
per Sc, is doomed. Those of us who
trace back our lineage to Priscilla
Mullen and Miles Standish, those of
us who come from old Puritan stock,
must realize that while our forefathers
were New Englnnders, our children $
children will be simply Americans. The
mixture of foreign blood with Yankee
stock while progressing down east on
ly comparatively in slow strides. Is
in the west, especially Iowa, the no.
ticeable thing of the day. This, to
those who realize the tremendous
possibilities involved. That the YAM
kee settled the west Isl historical
fact. That Iowa owes much OF her
prominence in the collection OF states,
this in the way of enterprise, intelli-
gence, morality and good citizenship
to the incoming Yankee, is conceded
The Yankee that first considered
going west to mean n new nome
in New York. only moved on again to
Ohio Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. In
his travels westward the faithful wife
and the good mother that accompanies
him was also a Yankee. But their
children's children have married Ger
man, Swedish. Norwegian, Danish and
Bohemian children's children. till to-
day what might almost be called
new race is coming onto the stage OF
action, all over the west, especially IN
Iowa, and more particularly in north
ern Iowa.
Not only on the farms is the "mixal
race" in evidence, but in our banks,
offices, stores and every walk OF pro-
ressional life are now to be found,
young men who are doing much TO
influence the present and future condi-
ion of Iowa, this in all respects So
.ial, political and religious. Some IL
,ustrations from we'll known facts can
be given in proof OF this statement.
For instance, In Scott county. the mar
Rage of Germans and Yankees has
been benefit to both nationalities. In
Johnson county large number of
Yankee stock, young men born in
iowa, have married Bohemian girls,
,lso born in Iowa. In Buena Vista
county many young men of blue
blooded Yankee lineage have married
the EWeuISU SIIlS uoIII tiaN NpuilD
". In all of these mentioned cases,
which have come under the writer's
personal observation. the physical AMI
mental makeup of the result of such
marriages has averaged far above the
parent stock on either side. In john
son county the children of the YAM
zee Bohemian alliance are noted for
cemarkabIe mental auickness and abil-
fty. In Buena Vista county the ply
steal beauty OF the Yankee Swedish

self and though vanquished he was not
lallowed to proceed for some time ow-

the delegates. He said:
Il have not heard the platform

ton. There may be things in 1t v'h oh

may be things in it which wish Were

that whatever it is from this moment

/, A second pause and the convention
went wild again. It cheered and
cheered until the delegates who had
risen sank into their seats. The decla-
ration was totally unexpected by the
standpatters before the platform had
been pi resented, but the effect was in
tense.
When quiet was restored the gov
ernor proceeded to say: And want

EGerman birth feel it their duty to send
their children to private schools, this

man marry an Iowa born girl, or an
/ Iowa boy select for a life partner Il
German girl and in either case an

German fatherlan,l ceases.
The Swedes, Norwegians and Danes
| come TO this country with their bridges
/ all burned behind them. Consequently
they, the sooner adapt themselves to

has vet to hear of any one of these
mentioned nationaities establishing

Iowa. They even initiate and absorb
our sins and Weaknesses sooner than
others of foreign birth. But they also
| the sooner acquire Cur better charac-
teristics. Assuming that n prohibition

and raise a family. much credit can

communities of their own race ana ma

pride themselves on the erection of me

country and money scarce. their homes
lack the many comforts of life. when
comparative wealth is the result of

fitting up the home with modern appl-
ances and iuxuries than do these, our
adopted citizens.
And so we of puritan. blue blooded
Yankee stock can congratulate our
selves that our chldren's children will
have a physical and mental make up,
probably far superior to New England
stock bred in and in Close obser-
vers already notice degeneracy in the
Vermont hills and in the Connecticut
valleys, today. Assuming again that
the best stock emigrated from New
England. it is no greater stretch Of the
imagination to claim that this is true
of Sweden Norway and Germany. AS
so, even Theoretically without the
practical illustration on the Iowa
prairie at this hour. the intermarriage

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHAROoAI.
Few People Know How Useful II L. In
Preserving Health and Beauty.


Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
etsinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take OF il the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion; it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eninently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; il
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of -catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozen-
ges; they are composed Of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form,
or rather In the form Of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal be-
ing mixed with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will
soon tell IN a much improved condi-
zion OF the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood. and the beauty Of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit
Buffalo physician. IN speaking Of
the benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges TO all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels and 10 clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but 25 cents a box at
drug stores and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
e lieve 1 get more and better charcoal
