Mr.. David Walker tells us that he
never saw more enthusiastic crowds
than those which welcomed President
Roosevelt during his journey through
the South. He also tells us that the
majority of the southern people are
republicans at heart, although they
vote the other way on account of their
fear of negro domination. We are
more and more convinced that federal
elections should be held separately
and distinct from all other elections,
leaving the people free to decide upon
national issues without the awful fear
of an opposition road supervisor upon
them. 1t would stagger Solomon to
decide all the questions from the tar
iff to a school house location at one
fell swoop-yet this is what we ask of
the American voter. Too often the
head of the ticket pulls bad man
through and questions that should be
outside the pale of politics are decided
on a strictly partisan basis. The Re-
view ceases not to maintain its belief.

A NEW DENIsoN INSTITUTION.
Denison to Have A Much Needed Sale
Pavilion Sale Every Saturday.

"a Mr.. j. G. Finncran has rented the
McAhren bus barn and proposes to re-
model it for a sale Pavilion, an in
stitution which Denison long has need
ed. Mr. w j. McAhren will cry the
sales, which will probably take place
each Saturday. Cattle, horses, i'm
plements, household goods, anything
and everything will come within the
scope of the big auctions. 1t will en-
able the farmer, who has small
amount to sell, to be on equal terms
with the farmer who can have big
sale. 1t will be sort of clearing
house, where you can obtain almost
anything you want at moderate
price. We hope that the farmers will
give this new institution good patron
age, as it is convenience both to
buyer and seller, that has long been
needed. The Denison Commercial Club
has had the matter under advisement
for some time, but as usual, it has re-
NAMED for private enterprise to un-
dertake the work.

On Tuesday the editor and his wife
passed the tenth milestone of their
welded life. The groom did not feel
so immensely important as he did ten
years ago, and the Mrs. got the meals
in the most prosaic, but efficient man
ner. The bridal coat is shiny and
shows that it has seen better days, and
the beautiful bridal gown would be a
most woeful close fit. The ice cream
with the red heart in it has long since
melted and there was no bridal wreath,
no flower girl and no wedding march
on our anniversary day, but there
was little flower boy, who boasts
of being ''most six" and there was a
deeper and more abiding affection, an
affection born of knowledge and of
understanding and of sympathy, of
travelling the roadway life together,
both in sunshine and in stormy wealth
er, and of the two the last wedding
day. was better than the first.

MANILA LOSES A PIONEER.
Death of Lewis Alfred Casts a Gloom
over Manilla's Holiday Festivities
Was Favorite With Young
and Old.

Last Saturday morning about 2:30
occurred the death of one of our old
est and most respected citizens, Mr..
Lewis Alfred, who was born in Con-
necticut in 1925. He was married
when just young man to Miss Mary
Elizabeth Scribner. Shortly after,
the happy young couple came west to
Illinois, lived there few years and
then came west to Walnut, Iowa,
where his first wife sickened and died.
This union was blessed with five
children, two of whom survive him.
During his life at Walnut, Mr.. Alfred
was again united in marriage to Miss
Elizabeth E. White. This union wss
also a very happy one and in later
years we know of no other old couple
that took the comfort together that
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred have; both SEEM
ing to live for each other. Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred came to this county along
about 1885 and settled on farm,
which they bought some two miles
west of from Manila. Here they
lived until 1897, when their son Ira
purchased the furniture business of
the town, the old people retiring from
active life, to spend the remainder of
their days at rest and to enjoy their
church. Mr.. Alfred was one of the
happiest, and genial persons seen on
our streets, always making the best of
whatever came. He was loved by
every child in town. We will miss
his laugh and pleasant word from
amongst us. He has often been re-
ferred to as 'The Boy of Manila.
AS politician he was republican
as to religion, Presbyterian. He
was very enthusiastic in any cause
that he might take part in. The
funeral was held at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday afternoon at p.
M, Rev. Bryce of Denison, saying
the last kind words. The remains
were then taken back to the house and
kept over night. Christmas day they
were laid to rest along side of his for
mer wife at Walnut, la.

In another column is told the sad
story of the tragic death Of E. N.
Sandstrom's little sixteen months old
son at Kiron. Our hearts are over
brimming with sympathy for the grief
stricken parents. Death is sad in all
it's forms, but never sadder than when
it lays hold of the little sunshine of
the home, when the childish prattle is
stilled, and the little helpless, inno-
cent clasp of a baby's hand relaxes.
Then does JOY leave the heart desert
ed; then does bleakest sorrow sit en-
throned. Oh, the tiny blessed nuisan-
ces, what joy unspeakable, what grief
Unreasonable their coming and their
going brings.

THE HIGN SCHOOL PLAY
Merchant of Venibe Up-to-Date Proves
Great Success aud is Ell joyed
by Many.

The Merchant of Venice Up-to-
Date" given by the high school stu
dents at the Opera House last Friday
evening was we'll attended, consider
ing the busy season in which it was
given. Those who attended were not
disappointed in hearing a fine rendi-
ton of this modernized version of
Shakespeare's great classic.
Something of the plot was given in
last weeks issue. After securing the
Caesar pony from shylock, for which
Antonio finds himself to forfeit a
pound of his hair in case it is not re-
turned within month, Bassanio pro-
ceeds to Portals house, where he is
fortunate enough to select the casket
containing the Caesar examination.
By the sly use of his pony he manages
to slide through the examination and
thus wins the hand of his fair lady.
In the fifth act the curtain rises on
a football scene in which the local
team and the Belmont team are show
ing the pig skin back and forth across
the gridiron. Shylock comes in with
an officer of the law, demanding the
forfeiture of his bond, as the pony has
not been returned within the month
specified.
This takes from the game Antonio.
the captain of the local team, and the
whole show adjourns to the court room
where Portia in the disguise of a law
yer expounds learnedly upon mercy and
justice. But the grasping Shylock
demands the letter of his bond, and
just as he is on the point of depriving
Antonio of his beautiful football
locks, Portia stops him. She discov-
ers in the bond the stipulation that
the hair must be taken nearest the
BRAIN" An X ray professor is called
in to photograph Antonio's brains, who
makes the happy discovery that the
football hero has no brains. This
gives happy conclusion to the play.

Outdoor relief for all is spread,
But robins, when they're able,
VIII come into the house" instead,
And breakfast on the table
And oft, when heavy with the snow
The laurel boughS are dropping,
Great gulls with wings like Cupid's bow
Come DER the banquet swooping.
Here one and all this truce of God
Their wilder nature tanning,
Tread fearless as through Eden trod
The beasts for Adams naming.
Enjoy who will the cruel South
Where weakness goes unpitied,
Where larxs are dainties for the mouth,
And thrushes shared and spitted!
Our weather may be somewhat hard,
But surely men are harder
When tiny songsters they regard
AS booty for the larder
Come rain or snow. come hail or rime.
We, tethered here by duty.
Envy you not your softer cline
Nor all it's garish beauty.
But draw we nearer to our friends
The way that Winter taught us.
And nobly shall he make amends
For any ills he brought us.

Upon my sheaf of letters lies.
This dark December morning,
\ picture of Italian skies,
The sober heap adorning;
A vision of purple bay.
A town all red and yellow.
How dreary is our winter. gray
Beside that sunshine sanelloW!
But though your southern paradise
moment sets us longing,
We treasure more If we are wise
The good to us belonging;
When you to the Campanian shore
Fled with the tickle swallow,
You left some neghbors at our door,
ike us, who could not follow.
AS round us to receive rneir dole
They crowd and flock. together,
We grow akin to them in soul,
And almost of one feather.
Yea! in the barren. roseless hours
When frost the ground doth harden,
The birds shall be our winter flowers,
And blossom in our garden.
There tits and blue caps, ssarlings TOO,
Now take their summer wages;
The place would be just like the Zoo,
Only it has no cages.
