Aunt Jennie's Letter.

wise old preacher advised his
brethren not to admit young men
into the ministry unless they appear
cd more broad-minded and enthu-
siostic than their elders. "For," said
he I'VE must always allow for
sbrinkage." The same allowance is
necessary in every life for the inev-
table closing-in of the real upon
the ideals of youth. and the unavoid
able narrowing of hope and aim that
must come with middle age. The
more ideals we start out with, the
more Joyous is our living. The drear-
mess of middle age is caused large
" bv the fact that it's ideals are so
shrunken and disfgured that they
fail to inspire either vitality or
hope. As long as we believe in life,
and in love. and in friendship, and
know that real heroism does exist
and other ideal possibilities, life is
worth living and we are strong to
take our part in it. There is pleas
ure in living for ideals; they inspire
hope and courage. But living with
out them is the dull gray life in
reality.
All are weak and all are strong,
Patience righteth every wrong.
All good things the will must task,
All achievement patience ask.
Chief with each others weakness
Need we patience, love and meek
ness;
Who takes i'll another's i'll.
Beareth two loads up the hill"
Then there is another verse that
| have read somewhere that / must
quote:
1T is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like a song,
But the man that's worth while,
Is the man that will smile
When everything's going dead
wrong"
If you fail to find your letter on
our page this week, just "bide a wee"
and you will see it costly ensconced
ere long.
Many, many thanks for the kindly
expressions of interest in Social
Chat. 1t has succeeded, it is sue
ceeding; it will succeed with your
help. There is no such word as fail
IN our vocabulary, provided we have
your cooperation.

constructed on economical plans to
save the housewife labor, and very
plainly furnished.
We all should try to be attractive.
l have seen some married men that
looked anything but neat and clean;
slouch hat, and unshaven. But just
let us look at them, after they be-
come widowers Why, you would
scarcely know them! Such change
new hat, new suit, beard off, and
if any left on their upper lip, if you
look right close you may discover
that darkness is not exactly natural.
1t is enough to make anyone smile.
But after they marry it is the same
old hat and don't-care ways. Are
not my words true?
HAPPINESS.

In our keen look at the strong out
ward probabilities of life, do not let
us forget it's inmost secret of power;
that all noble thoughts, all noble pos

Love, or touch their finest meaning
in it; that there is no factor like it
in the makeup of the world.-Brooke

A killing in BOganSviIle Town.
ship Near Old Began Resi-
denCe.

Last Saturday night between s
and 8 O'Clock near the old Began
house on the Alec Rice plantation
George Gore shot and instantly
killed Henry Shell, both colored.
There had been barbecue on the
place that day and a large crowd of
colored people were there. 1t seems
that there had been bad blood be-
tween these two for several years.
The gun that Gore shot Shell with
was single barrel breech loader
and was loaded with heavy charge
of No. J shot. The load entered
the body on the right side, tearing
a very large hole. The load went
through the right lung and struck
the heart, producing death instant
ly. Gore was arrested by the
coroner's deputy and is now in Jail i.
Coroner B. f. Gregory held an in :
quest Sunday morning.

Obituary..

John Yeager was born Oct. "a, 1851,
in Jefferson Co., Iowa and died at his
home in Audubon March 9, 1905, aged
53 years 3 months and IA days, after
a few weeks suffering with plurisy
which suddenly merged into catarrhal
pneumonia. In 1875 he was married
to Miss Victoria Hocket. This union
was blessed with two children. The
same year in which they were married
they moved to Viola township, Audu-
bon Co, where they resided till three
years ago when they moved to Audi
bon where he followed the trade OF
carpentering. In his boyhood days
he was converted and united with the
NJ. E. Church. Upon moving to Au-
dubon he united with the Evangelical
Association of which he was faithful
member till death removed him. When
he realized the end was nearing he
called his loved companion to his bed
side and expressed a readiness for the
change. He leaves to mourn the loss
his companion, daughter, son, and
grand daughter, step-mother four
brothers and three sisters, besides a
large circle of friends. The funeral
was at the Evangelical church Sunday
a. m. conducted by the Pastor. In
terment in the new cemetery. =

The Interurban,

The interurban railway being built
westward from Des Moines is now be-
ing pushed rapidly along. 1t is ex-
pected to have the line completed to
Westover by the lst OF May. 1t has
not yet been determined what route
it will take from that point. whether
it will go on to Grimes and then to
Woodward, Perry or to Dallas Center
and thence west. We presume that
the silence of the promoters will be
broken by the amount of the subsidy
guaranteed by the people along the
two routes. In this as in any other
railway projects, the longest pole
knocks the persimmons. Or the route
that offers the most inducements in
the way of subsidies and business will
get the road. We are satisfied that
the road will not come our way unless
our people rise to the emergency o.
the case and go after it. II the people
of Guthrie Center are satisfied with
existing conditions. If they think
the town has reached it's zenith in
population and trade, or if they are
satisfied to live isolated from the res
of the world, then do as you have beer
doing and the road will surely go else
where. But if we want to grow in
population, trade and influence we
must have better connections with
the outside world than we have al
the present time. We will be called
upon shortly to settle this question
and as the towns further welfare de-
ponds upon how we settle it, we had
better be getting ready to settle il
right. - Guthrian.

School Consolidation.

Melville township people are wrest-
! ling with the problem of country
J school consolidation. That township
has rather light population, partly
owing to several large bodies of land
being owned by outside parties. One
| schoolthe past winter has only had
four pupils. Several schools have
| had less than ten each. 1t seems like
a waste to keep.a school house and
| grounds in repair, to keep the house
| furnished and heated and to employ
a teacher for only four pupils, or for
six or seven or even ten. Thomas
Law is agitating the question of clos
| ing up four of the nine schools of the
township and dividing the township
into five districts. BY this plan it is
said no school will have more than
% or 30 pupils and no family will
have to send more than two miles to
school. The money saved by discon-
tinung four schools could be partly
used in paying better wages to the
eachers in the remaining five schools,
thus securing the best of country
teachers, and the rest of it saved to
the tax payers.
The old idea was that school houses
should be every two miles and school
district lines should be on section
lines. The consolidation of IA lot of
these small districts where the school
population is very small, is a modern
and progressive idea, but is in the
interest of better schools and of saw
ing to the tax payer. 1t is about as
hard to make the modernly construct
ed district as it is to lay out a new
rural mail route, but it can be done
and the plan is doubtless coming.
County Supt. Farquhar and State
Supt. Riggs are both much in favor of
such changes where they can be ar
ranged.

That's what a prominent
dru ggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S b ort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
sim lar expressions are
made SO often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The az t i O n of
SCOTS Emulsion Is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS

Emil Schumann, an old time Yukon miner, and A. B.

They say the trail from Fairbanks to Dawson, which they covered in l4 days, is in good con- dition
 Mir. Mesereau says things are quiet at the present time at Fairbanks and that money is not plentiful and will not be until the cleanup. He does not look for grub shortage there, partly because the consumers are not in condition to purchase beyond their necessities.

That verdict in the Swayne impeach- meut case was too much of party mat ter to leave very good taste in the mouth. Or. the first charge, the most grave ol the I2 charges made against the Florida jurist, all the democrats in the senate but two voted for conviction and all the republicans but four for ac- ouittal. While that may have been a coincidence, it does not look well for the most august jury provided by American law for the trial Of those charged with crime.
