MAY STUMP THE VICTIM,

There will be no end of trouble for
the Iowa people who will soon be ques.
toned by the census enumerators. The
questions r worse than those asked
of an applicant for life insurance or a
civil service Job. They include the &C.
lions Of the victims for the whole year
of 1904 and the only ones who can an.
swer them all accurately are those
who keep a carefully prepared diary
OF each days events. Here are a few
of the queries that will be put to the
farmers, for instance:
Number and value of all live stock
on the farm on January 1?
Number of pounds Of milk sold and
value for the year?
Number of bushels Of apples and
plums raised during the year?
Number Of quarts Of small fruits
raised in the preceding year?
Number of acres and yield of small
grain?
Number Of chickens and eggs pro.
duced in 1904?
Number of bushels Of grain hauled
to market in 1904?
Number Of pounds Of live stock
hauled to market?
Number Of loads Of fuel and build.
Ing material hauled from market dur.
ing year?"

quick wealthSthe secretary Of agricul.
ture does not take the popular view
The crops for 1904 were valued at a..
300, 10000. These figures are SO great
that the human mind is unable to real.
lie its very greatness, but Secretary
wilson gives a good idea of it's size IL
the Following paragraph in his report:
All Of the gold mines of the entire
world have not produced since Colum-
bus discovered America q greater
value of gold than the farmers of this
country have produced in wealth in
two years; this years product is over
six times the amount of the capital
stock of all national banks; 1t comes
within three-fourths of a billion dol.
lars Of equaling the value of the manu-.
features of 1900, less the cost of mate.
rails used; it is twice the sum Of our
exports and imports for a year: 1t Is
three times the gross earnings from
the operations Of the railways; it is
four times the value of all minerals
produced in this country"
The sum-, $4,000, 600, 900 is exclusive
of the value of farm products for 1904.
A similar estimate made for 1903 gives
$4,480, 600, 900, and the census total for
1899 is $3,742, 000, 900. 1t Is not admit.
ted, however, that these figures repre-.
sent fully the value OF the wealth pro.
duced on farms. Within the limits of
ascertainable values, the farms Of 1904
produced an aggregate wealth with a
farm valuation that was 9.65 per cent
above the product Of 1908, and 31.28
per cent above the figures for the cen.
sus year 1899.

A RULwARk GONE.

One Of the greatest bulwarks with
which the trusts have surrounded
themselves in the past is removed
from before their intrenched position
by the decision handed down a few
days ago by Justice Holmes of the
United States supreme court. It came
out in the allegation that the charges
made by Attorney General Moody
against the beef trust were technically
insufficient, that no one act charged
against the trust was of itself suf1-
cient to bring about the combination
alleged in the bill. Justice Holmes
answers this allegation as follows, dis
posing Of the point Of which the trusts
have made much, once and for all:
The scheme as a whole seems to
us to be within the reach Of the law.
The constituent elements, as we have
stated them, are enough to give to the
scheme a body, and, for all. that we
can say, to accomplish it. Moreover,
whatever we may think of them sepa.
rately, when we take them up as dis
tinct charges they are alleged sufi.
GENTLY as elements of the scheme,

That little brute,'' said the mer-
chant. wore an expression as meek as
q lamb and of course4 had to square
the deal IN the pants.
Later in the day, I called on .
friend who lived up on the hill, and as
we sat In his house, we were attracted
by some boys who were playing on q
vacant lot across the street. The
street was about twenty feet higher
n the vacant lot that fronted on II
these boys were sliding from the
street down the bank into the lot. The
articles they used in the descent were
many and consisted of barrel slaves,
barrel heads and a piece OF SCOOP
shovel, and all parts of their anatomy.
including the seats Of their pants.
We were much amused as we
watched them and we both enjoyed 10
fully as much as the boys themselves
my friend is still enjoying it-thero
has, however, been a slight change in
my feelings In this matter. There was
one kid in the bunch that slid down
there about three times to once for
any OF the others. He was the livelt.
est Indian in the gang. One time he
would start the descent on a stave
and go all right for a few feet and
then the piece of wood would catch on
something and he would slide the bal.
ance of the way on the seat OF his
pants and finally roll over two or three
times at the bottom.
Then he would crawl and climb IN
the embankment again and start the
next slide on the barrel head. or the
SCOOP shovel-honestly he was tho
busiest boy I aver saw.
During the conversation. I told
about the little mild eyed
good boy who had brought the pants
back and noticed that my friend
seemed to enjoy it exceedingly. ana
when l left, he suggested that i 20 over
and see II I knew any of the boys. He
said they We're all playing hockey
from school.
Just as | got to the middle OF tho
street, the busy little boy vas starting
at the top, and all he was sitting on
was a piece of the old shovel which
was about six inches square. He sat
down on it and two Of the others gave
him a start. He went about six feet
and then the shovel stuck In the
ground. The kid turned over head
first a couple OF times, slid ten feet
on his stomach and finally rolled Into
a pile of bricks.
"As he got up and started up to-
ward me, / recognized my meek faced
acquaintance who had told me with
such childless simplicity about how
good he was.
II looked at him and said:
Hello, bud, you're that good little
boy, arn't your
"'G'wan, what We givin US" was HIS
only answer.
II understood how the pants were
worn out"
Nov I'm waiting for that woman
to come back to the store again. I
never did think much Of the boys at
school who used to tell the teacher IN
the ones that played hockey, but II
don't tell that woman about her good
little boy and his little, shovel game II
will be because drop dead or have
paralysis of the tongue before I get
to see her"

This is practical religion. No won-
