Be Pitifui.

BE pitiful unto the young. for they have
grtefs to bear:
They are SO new to pain and loss and life's
strange fret and care.
30 many things have they to learn, hard
problems on each hand,
And bafiied wills and troubled fears-all
hard to understand.
pc pitiful unto the tired. So many bur-
dens press
pn those who In the forefront stand in
mondays toll and stress.
The aching shoulders. weary heads and
tagging footsteps plead
For kindly words and loving smiles to
help them in their need
BE pitifpl unto the sick, for In their shad-
owed rooms
they brood DER many shattered plans and
face foreboding glooms.
So helpless are they and so weak they
need unfailing cheer
10 soothe them in their loneliness and
pain and haunting fear.
Be pitiful unto the old. They sit with
neryeless hands,
Apart from life's activities, and count
fast waning sands
Their wrinkled faces, failing powers and
dimning eyes appeal
Fer patient kindness of love their low
estate to feel.
Be pitifnl. be pitiful. ye strong and brave
OF heart,
Tor some time with the sick and old We

But now. If We would surely win bless

Let the sweet charm and patient grace OF

THE GROWTH OF 1HE TELEPHONE.

Middle aged men were grown boys
when the first practical telephone made
it's appearance. Young men remem~
Der when it's use became general N
business offices and stores and ID
year-old country-bred boy is Old
enough to have seen nine-tenths OF
the country phones screwed fast to
the walls of the farm houses. Now
scarcely a farm dwelling is unsupplied
with a telephone. 1t is one of the abso-
lutte necessities of a business house
and one of the greatest conveniences
in residences.
Statistical figures recently issued
give some idea of the growth of the
telephone service. These figures,
which are more likely to be under
rather than overestimated place the
number of phones in use in this coun-
try 2,315,000 telephones of all kinds.
There are $1,000 wage earners and H.
900 salaried officers and clerks who
owe their employment to the fact that
telephones were invented. The SO,-
900 wage earners and salaried employees
are paid over s36,000,0o0 yearly.
Besides this army of direct en-
ployes of the telephone companies there
are the wage earners who made the
600 miles of wire strung for the
telephone systems and other supplies
the phone companies had to buy dur
ing the year. Had II not been for the
telephone there would have been con-
siderably less employment to be offer
ed in the steel and copper industries.
The total revenues Of the telephone
companies last year amounted to $50
900, 600. The capitalization of the COM
panies reached the sum of s34S, 000. 900.
This statement is particularly inter-
esting. 1t illustrates the progressive
American spirit and the adaptability
of the American public. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the statistical report fall
ed to trace the reduction in the price
OF telephones as well II would furnish
another excellent object lesson on the
benefits of competition.

IowANs IN OKLAHOMA.

Editor Times Republican: BY re-
quest of the Iowa colony | will, for
the benefit of your readers, give brief
sketch Of eastern Oklahoma, its re-
sources and possibilities. Last fall
sixteen families came here from Mar
shall and Benton counties, Iowa, and
located in Lincoln county, Oklahoma,
five miles southwest of Agra, and
tbrty-five miles east of Guthrie, the
capital of the territory. This section
is largely settled by northern people.
We are delighted with the climate
and with our first winters experience
in the fair and middle south. This
is not q paradise yet climatic condi-
tons make it a very pleasant place
to live. The undersigned resided for
twenty years in Benton and Marshall
counties and knows something about
the rigors of an Iowa winter The
winters here for the most part are
bright sunshiny and dry. The Their
mometer registered zero but twice last
winter and then but for a few hours.

run and when a notorious gambler OF
another state wants Blythes influence
with a governor he spends $780, so he
says, for voting niggers for Gear in
ence"
Four years ago at the Philadelphia
convention we found Blythe humiliat-
ing Cummins by removing him from
the national committee to be
replaced by L. L. Hart, one
of Blythe's most obedient ser
wants. The purpose of all this is
now explained by Wellnan. This help
ed to make Cummins governor, to be
sure, but only last week we heard OF
Blythe, thru his servant, Mr.. Hart, buy
ing another Iowa newspaper, and 1t is
to be expected that the political careers
of men like La Toilette and Cummins
will be made short-llved indeed. Cum
Minis and Deliver and Allison may APP
pear in the convention tomorrow favor
ing the republicanism of Mckinley
Blaine, Dingley and Kasson, but Cum
minis was "hog-tied" before he started
for Chicago and neither senator dare
oppose Mr.. Blythe. 1t is the railway
boss who goes on the committee to
represent Iowa. 1t is planned that the
railway boss shall go to the United
States senate from Iowa. AS Wellman
explains the railways attend to the fine
points of politics.

THE sloCuM DISASTER.

The facts in the Slocum disaster are
likely to come out. Secretary Cortel-
you, OF the department of commerce
and labor, backed by President Roose-
Welt will conduct vigorous investiga-
( ton The responsibility VIII be settled.
+ II punishment has been deserved it will

be strengthened.
II the supervising inspector general
of the United States steamboat inspec-
ton service Is to be believed. the Slo-
cum was legally and thoroughly
equipped with all appliances for fight
Z Ing fire and saving life. This is prob
ably true. What the steamboat In
/ spectors will be asked is as to the con-
dition of these appliances The Iro-
fcnois theater had an asbestos curtain
that fell into pieces with the first
irauglt of the flames. The Slocum's
fire hose was rotten and worthless and
OF no service: its life preservers We're
fastened above the reach of most chill
& dren and many women and We're so
rotten that they fell to pieces in the
water. Ii it is the duty of the inspector
10 see that steamboats, are supplied
with apparatus 1t is no less their duty
to see that these are of ordinary eff
fectiveness. The Sloeum investigation
lis likely to uncover much carelessness
and criminal negligence. 1t is fortu-
nate incident In an unfortunate affair
that the investigation is to be made by
the federal government. The disaster
should teach another lesson against the
needless and careless tendency of the
public to crowd excursion boats and
Z trains. That there are not more fatali-
ties connected with excursions seems TO
be due more to the hand of providence
than the common sense of excursion
lists. They crowd boats to sinking, ride
On car platforms and coach roofs and
trust blindly TO good fortune and an
overworked crew. The average excur-
sion is a bid for calamity, Let the pub-
lie assist in taking care of itself and
avert disaster by refusing TO crowd to-
gether like cattle in dangerous places.
