! LoOKER.ON IN IOWA /

Cedar Falls, Nov. S.-The fall fol-
iage in Iowa is OF the unusual order,
owing TO the deferred visit Of Jack
Frost many OF the trees and vines pro-
ceeded to deck themselves In the COL
ors we are accustomed to attribute
to the artistic skill Of Mr. Frost. Soft
naples, several weeks before any frost
came, became yellow and red and VAR
iegated according to the fancy. Hick-
DRY trees turned to be yellow as gold,
while the willows usually the first
leaves to change, stubborrlly held to
a light green till the first freeze ar
rived. Sumach and q vine that loves
to climb fence posts and telegraph
poles, some one perhaps can name 1t,
turned to that magenta red artists rave
over. All this while the grass remains
ed the deep. rich green OF June. But
this was not all OF natures varying
performance. Even after the first
heavy frost freeze hard enough to
kill all garden vegetables, some OF thu
trees refused to come out In their us
ual colors. And even then when Jack
Frost smote them again harder than
before, they refused to let go the par
ent tree. For many years our forest
trees and town shade trees have been
bare and naked long before the date
this year.
The other day the writer met n
prominent politician of Iowa and he
gave some advice at least worth

LET US Be THANkFUL,

Iowa's governor has issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation, express
ing thankfulness for the blessings OF
peace and prosperity, for the growth Of
conscience and the condemnation OF
wrong doing and, in conjunction with
the president, appointing Thursday,
November 30, as the day when "all the
people of the state may, in the man.
ner which seems to them right, thank
and praise to Almighty God for all, His
gifts ana all His mercies; to the end
also that all the people may again de-
termine to wage an unrelenting war;
fare upon vice, in all it's phases, crime
in all its forms, and injustice in all its
degrees"
The thankfulness expressed in the
proclamation is more than justified.
We are prosperous people. The harv-
est has multiplied the seed time and our
granaries and cribs are full, our cattle
fat. Our factories are busy. Thru the
avenue Of the biennial amendment and
the wisdom Of the supreme court we
have escaped the stress and strenu-
osity Of an election campaign. The
weather is good for husking. We have
much for which to be thankful and
should be thankful for much we have
not.
Comparing conditions In iowa with
those existing elsewhere we may read
our proclamations now and eat our
turkey later with grateful hearts. We
are neither poverty stricken nor vic
ious here In Iowa.
Such Hearsts as we have are not OF
scirrhus type, our administration Of
state affairs Is clean and wholesome
and no clique or cabal holds absolute
sway over the policies Of the state
Two or three things there are for which
we might in Justice plead wherewitf
to supplement our thanksgiving. Mr.
Temple might quit explaining explana
lions and Uncle George Perkins might
make his position clear on eminent is
sues. These and a few other matters

LADDERS TO HEAVEN.


There was a certain valley in which
the grass was very green, for it was
watered by a stream which never
failed; and once upon time certain
pious men withdrew from the wide
world and from their separate homes,
and made home in common, and a
little world for themselves, in the val
ley where the grass was green
The world outside, in those days,
was very rough and full of wars; but
the little world in the Green Valley
was quiet and full of peace. And
most of these men who had taken
each other for brothers, and had
made one home there, were happy,
and being good deserved to be so.
And some of them were good with the
ignorant innocence of children, and
there were others who had washed
their robes and made them white in
the Blood of the Lamb.
Brother Benedict was so named,
because where he came blessings
followed. This was said of him, from
child, when the babies stopped
crying if he ran up to them, and when
on the darkest days old women could
see sunbeams playing in his hair. He
had always been fond of flowers, and
as there were not many things in the
Brotherhood Of the Green Valley on
which man could fullsspend his en-
ergies, when prayers were said, and
duties done, Brother Benedict spent
the balance Of his upon the garden
And he grew herbs for healing, and
plants that were good for food, and
flowers that were only pleasant to
the eyes; and where he sowed he
reaped, and what he planted pros
pered, as If blessings followed him.
In time the fame of his flowers
spread beyond the valley, and people
from the world outside sent to beg
plants and seeds of him, and sent
him others in return. And he kept a
roll of the plants that he possessed,
and the list grew longer with every
Autumn and every Spring; so that
the garden Of the monastery became
filed with rare and curious things,
in which Brother Benedict took great
pride.
The day came when he thought
that he took too much pride. For he
said, 1.-THE cares of the garden are,
after all, cares of this world, and ]
have set my affections upon things OF
the EARTH And at last it so trou'
bled him that he obtained leave to
make a pilgrimage to the cell Of an
old hermit. whose wisdom was much

esteemed, and to him he told his

esteemed, and to him he told his
fears.
But when Brother Benedict had
ended his tale, the old man said, Go
in peace. What man labors for he
must love, If he be made in the i'm
age of his Maker; for He rejoices in
the works Of His hands"
So Brother Benedict returned, and
his conscience was at ease till the
autumn, when certain abbot, who
spent much care and pains upon his
garden, was on journey, and rested
at the Monastery Of the Green Val
ley. And it appeared that he had
more things in his garden than
Brother Benedict, for the abbey was
very rich, and he had collected far
and near. And Brother Benedict was
jealous for the garden of the monas
terry, and then he was wrath with
himself for his jealousy; and when
the abbot had gone he obtained leave
and made pilgrimage to the cell
OF the hermit and told him all And
the old man, looking at him, loved
him, and he said:
My son, a man may bind his soul
with fine-drawn strands till it is
either entangled in web or breaks
all bonds. Grid myself with one
strong line, and let little things GO
by
And Benedict said, with which
line?"
And the hermit answered, What
said Augustine? Love, and do what
thou wilt If therefore thy labors
and thy pride be for others, and not
for myself, have no fear. He who
lives for God and for his neighbors
may forget his own soul in safety
and shall find it hereafter; for for
such sprit-of the tolls and pains
and pleasures Of this life grace shall
alike build Ladders unto Heaven"
Then Benedict bowed his head
and departed; and when he reached
home he found a messenger who had
ridden for many days, and who
brought him bundle Of roots, and q
written message, which ran thus:
"These roots. though common with
us, are unknown where thou dwellest
It is a lily, as white and as fragrant
as the Lily Of the Annunciation, bul
much smaller. Beautiful as it is, il
is hardy, and if planted In damT
spot and left strictly undisturbed il
will spread and flourish like a weed
1t hath rare and delicate perfume
and having white bells on many foot
stalks up the stem, one above the
other, as the angels stood in Jacobs
dream, the common children call il
Ladders to Heaven"
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1905-04-18

And when Brother Benedict read
the first part of the letter he laughed
hastily, and said, "The abbot hath no
such lily" But when he had finished
it, he said, God rid my soul of self
seeking! The common children
shall have them, and not r."
And, selling the plants and spade,
he ran out beyond the bounds of the
monastery, and down into a little
copse where the earth was kept damp
by the waters Of the stream which
never failed. And there he planted
the roots, and as he turned to 60
away he said, "The blessing of our
Maker rest on thee! And give joy
of thy holiness, and pleasure of thy
perfume, to others when / am gone.
And let him who enjoys remember
the soul Of him who planted thee"
And he covered his face with his
hands, and went back to the monas-
terry. And he did not enter the new
plant upon his roll, for he had no
such lily in his garden.
= -
Brother Benedict's soul had long
departed, when in times of turbu-
lence and change, the monastery was
destroyed. and between fire and plum
der and reckless destruction every
thing persisted. and even the garden
was laid waste. But no one touched
the Lilies of the Valley in the copse
below, for they were so common that
they were looked upon as weeds.
And though nothing remained of the
brotherhood but old tales, these lin
gered, and were handed on; and
when the children played with the
lilies and bickered over them, crying,
my ladder has twelve white angels
and yours has only eight" they would
often call them Brother Benedict's
flowers, adding, but the real right
name Of them is Ladders to Heaven \
And after time a new race came
into the Green Valley and filled it;
and the stream which never failed
turned many wheels, and trades were
brisk, and they were what are called
black trades. And men made money
soon, and spent it soon, and died
soon: and in the time each lived for
himself, and had little reverence for
those who were gone. and less con-
Germ for those who should come af-
ter. And at first they were too busy
to care for what is only beautiful,
but after time they built smart
houses. and made gardens, and went
down into the copse and tore up
clumps of Brother Benedict's flowers,
and planted them in exposed rocker.
