ALetter From A. S. Coon.

Bonaparte, N. Y, Sept. IL, 1904.
Editors Democrat, Manchester, Iowa
Conference.-The heading of this
paper tells where / am at this writ
ing and as the name implies it is a
historic place having once been the
home of a brother of the illustrious
warrior, Napoleon Bonaparte. His
residence was few rods from the
hotel where we are stopping for the
day on our trip to the hunting
grounds of the Adirondacks. The
place where his residence was is on
quite a high, rocky bluff facing a
beautiful sheet of water to the north
that bears the name of the once il
lustrious family. I understand that
there are still descendants of the
family occupying a. cottage on the
north shore of the lake and that they
visit it occasionally.
Yesterday morning in company
with a party of our friends Mrs. c.
and myself boarded the train at
Adam, N. Y, for trip down the
st. Lawrence to view the scenery
among the Thousand Islands. We
left Adams at about SOB a. m. and
arrived at Clayton at 1890, finding
boat by the name of Islander wait
ing for us so we were soon moving
down amid scenery that our imagi-
nation failed in picturing for though
we had expected much, as the boat
went gently down the river, we
gazed in wonder and admiration at
the granduer about us with cottages
of all designs and shapes costing
from a few hundred to over two mil.
Lion dollars and lawns and flowers tc
match and it was not only a few but
they were everywhere on either side
as we passed down to Elexanders
Bay. Here we left the boat for din
ner and our party retired to boa
park where we enjoyed a picnic din
ner and to which we all did ample
justice. Dinner being over, at 2:3(
we boarded the New Islander and
resumed our trip through this grand
panorama of cottages and islands
and finally landed at Clayton at $50
and as our train was in waiting, we
went aboard at once, wondering ano
dreaming of our pleasant journey or
the st. Lawrence.
When we returned toPhiladilphis
Mr.. Bull bid our party good bye
and we went and spent the night
with cousin Of our friend Watson
Childs. In the morning our hos
took his horse and surrey and drove
us over the farm of two hundred anc
nine acres, a part of which was own.
ed by Watson Childs' father, and
where Watson who has been oul
neighbor for over forty years, was
born. Although our visit was cut
short with this fine family by previ.
GUS arrangements it was very pleas
ant one which will be long remem.
bered.
We boarded the train at about
nine o'clock for Carthage, then
changed to the Carthage & Adiron-
dack R. R. and the parties we ex-
pected to meet on this train failed to
connect, so we are waiting here un;;
til the next train, and as it's raining
a kind of a long drizzling rain SO we
can not fish with pleasure, we are
writing a few lines for the Democrat.
Hoping this will not find the way
to the waste basket and that we will
be with you about October LIST, am
as ever, A. S. COON.

TRAGIC DEATH
CAUSES INSANITY

SEATTLE. Aug. 24.-Brooding
over the accidental killing of his
brother, d. J. Stevenson was brought
to the county jail last night with
his reason, it is feared totally I'M

Last fall, while out hunting. he
shot at what he supposed to be a
deer and killed his brother. Ever
since the fatal accident the man $
mind has continually dwelt on the
tragedy, until with the last few
weeks his reason seems to have gone
completely The family have lived
at Preston, in the northern part of
the county, on the Seattle & Intena-
tional railroad. for number of
years. His friends thought it best
that he be brought to Seattle to have

The person that takes the most
into his home gets the most out of
it. For this reason the woman who
shuts herself up in her home, gives
herself up to be a slave to her house
hold duties, gives and gives all she
has to her home, and gets little out
of it.
The man who is at the Office daily
comes home with new ideas. He
has something fresh to talk about
What has the wife to offer? She can
tell how the bread was kneaded, how
the cabbage boiled That is all.
No wonder that so many men out
grow their wives. Their wives can
not grow without contact with liv-
ing and growing beings. This con-
tact they willfully deny themselves
and make drudges of themselves.
1t is a mistake for a woman to
make a slave of herself. She will
soon be unappreciated, unthought of
outside of the family and in the fam
lily. She will become a machine.

this busy season of the year and de

the elght-hour day
Riley has been paving his men
from $175 to s2.25 a day. The men
struck yesterday, however, not for
wages, but for a shorter day. They
did not say they wanted shorter
day without reduced pay.
1t is exoected that strikes will oc-
cur at '0tarvals on other sewer jobs
and street work now going on in the
city.
The Federal union is figuring on
leasing 100 tents with cooking uten-
sils and sending the strikers on this
sort of work to the hop fields to
make living until the local con
tractors decide to be good The har-
vest fields offer another field for the
employment of striking laborers at
this time of the year, and it is alto
gether probable that local contrac-
tors viii have their hands full for
several months at least In trying to
maintain the nine-hour and ten-hour
