NETHERLANDS MAY

THE HAGUE, Nov. 1S.-A strange
story is in circulation to the effect thai
according to the Dutch Constitution if
the Queen is c!liIdless five years after
her marriage, which will be on Febru
airy next, Parliament is empowered
to dissolve the union and that there is
a clause in the wedding contract per-
hitting this.
Whatever was the origin of the fore
going. there is not the slightest foun-
dation for it. The Government is now
busy revising the Constitution. espe-
cially the article referring to the sue
cession. The nearest in line is the
Grand Duke of Saxe-W eimar, VINO, ac
cording to German law, will be COM
PEELED to choose between the thrones of
Sake W. inlar and Holland. After him
comes a princess of Reuss and then a
princess Of Wied.
There is marked antipathy through
out Holland to all these possible sue
cessors, as all are German. 1t is likely,
therefore, that no heir will be sought,
but that another peaceful revolution
will be carried out and the Government
made a republic.

a place of business the other night
when man entered with bill he
had received from the merchant and
at once began telling him he had paid
for certain articles mentioned. He
was asked who the party was that he
paid, and was told "the other man.
In reply the merchant said, that
is queer, this bill is not yours; and it
was mistake that YOU got ir out OF
the Office The goods mentioned in
the bill were never charged to YOU but
to a man by the same name with
different initials and YOU surely would
not pay for something you did not

tactics and presented the right claim.

The Iowa Corn Crop.

The Iowa corn crop aggregates
345, 81, $40 bushels. This is the figure
given by John X. Sage, director of
the Iowa crop and weather service in
his annual report for 1905. He
computes that at the average price
of 35 cents per bushel, which was the
prevailing price of corn ON December
1. the value of the Iowa corn crop is
Sl21, O55, 144 The oat crop is the next
largest, with total aggregate OF
about l46, 439, 240 bushels. The total
value of the crops of the state for the
year is over $500, 600, 600. Mr.. Sage
shows that the figures and the crops
he has reported do not show the full
value of Iowa farm products in that
the value of pasturage to cattle is
not shown and no way is open for
person to make showing. NO
account is made of the increment
derived from the consumption OF these
staple crops on the farm. The figures
on the corn crop show an increase
over all previous crops OF nearly
1000, 900 bushels. This increase is
vastly greater than was the increase
last year over the year preceding.

by Mr.. Sage shows some interest ing

By GEORGE LAY LAW

"FTER a little over 1000 years
from the birth of its founder
Christmas has become the
most generally observed re-
ligiOus holiday on earth. There is
scarcely land beneath the sun that
does not witness some celebration Of
the day set apart to commemorate the
birth of the Carpenter of Nazareth.
While In many Asiatic countries few
participate in these celebrations, there
are yet enough so that all peoples are
learning the Significance OF the cere-
mony. Then, too, the number of actual
participants is increasing year by year.
SO that it takes no very great stretch
of the imagination to picture time
when Christmas observances will be
practically universal.
The charge Of the Master to carry his
gospel to all the world has been re-
ligiously obeyed, and the prophecy of
the thousand years Of peace which were
to follow close on that contamination
should be on its way. OF the six conti-
nents. Christianity entirely dominates
four and is rapidly winning its way In
the other two. Both North and South
America are Christian in every part.
The same is true of Australia and the
surrounding islands constituting Aus
tralasia. All Europe follows the same
faith, with the single exception OF the
southeastern corner belonging to Tur-
key. and even a considerable part Of
the Turkish empire, including Armenia.
Bulgaria and others Of the Balkan
states, embraces Christianity, while
Christian missions exist In Turkey.
In Africa, where the British govern
Egypt and all South Africa, while
France has virtual control of Morocco
and other European powers have colo
MES throughout the continent, the faith
Of the Nazarene has larger following
than any other religion.
ASIA teeming with its vast Chinese
and Hindoo hordes, is practically the
only continent in which Christianity Is
not the dominant faith, and even here
it has incalculable political and strate-
gic advantages that are rapidly work
ing a transformation. Siberia, occupy
ing nearly half of the entire continent,
is ruled by Christian power. India,
on the south, is under the control OF
England, and the missionaries are
gradually winning their way. Tibet,

long into his place of business, shout
ing, We are republicans in response
to little ad in their party paper?
Or the democrats to announce their
party afiliation when making purch-
asses, because of an ad placed in their
party organ?
"No; in no other instance is such
foolery asked or expected.
But there are numerous business
men who steadily and consistently pa
tronize the labor paper, because they
consider it good advertisement.
They keep steadily at it through the
dull and busy seasons. They get the

deal OF credit.

the track under some imaginary or
slight strain should never be trusted

overcome the disadvantage of their
ancestry The race horse men call
them short bred" in other words,

woods" Look out for the known
"quitter" and at the same time keep
your weather eye open for those that
are liable to develop such defects.
MANY unions have almost gone
through a baptism of fire, but come
the reason that they have been able
tt locate the dross and that they
know where to look for it in the flu
ture. The rank and file are usually
all right, but there are always a few
weakened creatures hanging around
the ragged edge. They always drop
off at the slightest provocatiOn. The
watch dogs of the union always have
to keep herding them to keep them
from straying away from the main
band. The union should adopt some
form of badge, such as the monthly
dues button, so that they can be To-
Gated at all times.
"The one sheep that is disposed to
go astray has always given the shep-
herds more trouble than the other
ninety and nine. 1t is this that is the
cause in most instances of the demand
for the so-called ''closed shop" so that
"the bird that can sing and won't
sing" can be made to sing. They are
the cause of more friction between
employers and men than all others

The Candidate

The candidate arose before the con-
vention which had nominated him and
made a solemn pledge that when he
went to congress he would stand firm
in the interests of the people whom he
strove in his weak way to represent.
Immediately upon his arrival in
Washington he was visited by rep
resentative of the allied railroads, by
a representative of the ship subsidy
crowd, by a representative of the as
ISOLATED tariff barons and by repre-
sentative of the captains of finance.
With each one of them he was clos
eted for several hours. Reports OF
these conferences reached his constlt-
uents, and they wondered.
The various representatives of the
special interests winked whenever the
honorable gentleman's name was
mentioned. Finally congress went to
work, and the new member took an
active interest, being present every
time an important measure was up
for passage.
No. You are mistaken. He favored
rate regulation, was opposed to the
protective tariff graft, stood out
against the branch bank and asset cur
rency bills, fought the ship subsidy
and actually paid his fare on the rail-
roads.
1t happened at least once within our
recollection. But we believe his dis
trict listened to the siren voices that
he had closed his ears to, and elected
his opponent at the next election.

No. You are mistaken. The jolly
