We knew dyspeptic, who for over
IS years fancied he could not eat wa
termelon with any hope of digesting
and assimilating it, because the last
time he tasted it, it talked back for
hours and g,umbled, growled and
swore. So in all that time he denied
himself the exquisite luxury of swim
ming his sensations in that lovely
rosewater, until some two weeks ago
he made bold to get outside Of a gen.
erous prism of it, and found that it
agreed with him beautifully, and in a
fortnight he ate his weight, thrice over,
of rose cores, and passed on to the COW

would break off a hunk of a crescent

this well of living water that he had
made to spring up in the burning des-

So much for a fancy, a whim, an old
granny notion. He lost generation
of pleasure. Every summer for IS or
40 years he had watched with amuse-
ment and envy the darkies cut crescent
slices of melon and play on them as on
mouth organ, deftly firing out the
fiat, black seeds from their mortar
mouths and filing their tanks with
this strangely sweetened water. And
he thought of that singular lack of
moral sense that makes all mankind
raid patches and steal melons without
bit of condemnation. Why is it
that no one counts it sin or theft to
swipe melons, and, on scare, real or
feigned, run with them one under
each arm, till in their tickle and
laughter they weakened, stumbled,
tunbled, and busted the skull-shaped
things? 1t is larceny, but, somehow,
it does not seem to be that to a single
sinner on the planet. In Ike manner,

Report of Special Envoy Cal
houn Will Show Bad State
of Affairs
ASPHALT TRUST RESPONSIBLE
American Interests In Venezuela In q
Seriously Mixed Up conditon-Not
Unlikely That United States Will
Have to Adopt Severe Measures
With Unruly Executive at Caracas.

Washington, Oct. 12.--Judge Call
domestic and international affairs of
Venezuela will in large measure be
an arraignment and condemnation of
Castro and his methods. 1t is known,
from what Judge Calhoun said to the
president Tuesday, that he found a
state Of affairs at Caracas which was
even worse than had previously been
pictured by unfortunate American in
terests that have been compelled to
submit to extortion and blackmail.
The executive and judicial machinery
of the government is controlled by
Castro to an extent that renders it i'm
possible for any interest or individual
to secure fair treatment or justice
without first obtaining the favor OF
Castro.
Some phases of Judge Calhoun's re-
port will not meet the expectations of
persons who heretofore have exercised
an important influence in determining
the attitude of the state department
toward the Venezuelan government.
1t is known that Judge Calhoun is not
satisfied with the record of the asphalt
trust in Venezuela. His Investigation
has disclosed that that corporation
was responsible for most of the evils
and troubles which have been visited
upon it. Its interference in the do
mestic affairs of Venezuela, culminat-
ing in an attempt to incite revolution.
combined with methods that left it
open to severe criticism and censure.
have created state of affairs which
will probably be accorded severe treat
lnent in Judge Calhouns report.
What Judge Calhoun discovered
concerning Venezuela's foreign rela-
lions, especially with France, is re-
garded by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root to be Of such imme-
diate and vital Importance to this gov
eminent that they are already framing
e. tentative programme for their flu
ture guidance. 1t is suspected that
Castro has involved himself and his
government in a manner which may
necessitate the employment OF harsh
measures by the United tSates not on
ly to protect OUR own interests but to
enforce the principle of the Monroe
doctrine.
The fact that Judge Calhoun Tues
day called upon M. Jusserand, the
French ambassador and remained in
conference with him upward OF two
hours is taken to INDICATE that. a very
delicate and serious Situation has
arisen and that the patience of the
French diplomat is being strained to
the limit
Unless surface indications are mis-
leading the Venezuelan and Cuban
governments are in fair way to re-
ceive a dose of needed discipline at
the hands of this government. The
Cuban situation, as indicated by the
publication of a secret commercial
treaty with Great Britain is so serious
and threatening that neither the pres
ident nor Secretary Root cares to talk
about it.

PEARsoN's JOKE.
[Fort Dodge Messenger.


The tainted money" craze-called
craze for want of a better name--was
reduced to something of joke in Chi
cago the other day, and incidentally
some good material was developed for
the burlesquers. and perhaps John d.
Rockefeller. and others whose willing
millions are under suspicion will be
able to gather a pointer from the incl
dent The American Board Conference
of Foreign Missions of the Congrega-
tional church was in session and was,
as a matter of course, in a receptive
attitude toward prospective contribu-
tors to the cause. In this situation
DR.. D. X. Pearsons, of Chicago. who is
known to fame, was heard from IN
this strain:
Chicago, Oct 2, 19O5.-The Treas
urer of the American Board Confer
ence Of Foreign Missions, Boston.
Mass. Dear Sir: inclose $4,000 for
Anatolia College, Marsovan, Turkey.
This money is to form the Mrs. D. &.
Pearsons memorial endowment fund,
and the principal is to be intact for
ever; the interest alone being used
for the support of the college.
This money came in this way. BY
sharp bargaining and rigid economy.
1 acquired $4,000, and twelve years
ago purchased 100 shares of bank
stock. During these twelve years this
stock has paid me good interest, and
now can sell the 100 shares for $5o.-
900. I can give you the name Of the
bank, and the names of the directors,
all good men.
Will this money be good to extend
Christian education in Turkey, or Is 1t
"tainted money!" If you refuse it.,
there are several theological semin-
aries here that would be pleased to
take it, and 1 know of 100 poor colleges
south and west, that would be delight
ed to receive it. Yours respectfully,
D. X. PEARSONS.
Was the board Mortified at the
"sharp bargaining" into pulling tight
the pickering string of it's cavernous
receptacle for dollars? Well, hardly.
To adopt the statement of the case
contained in the news dispatches: The
directors held a secret session in the
morning and at the evening session
of the conference at the Union Park
Congregational church the Rev. Cor
nelius H. Patton, of Boston, ANNOUNCE
ed that the money had been accepted.
The congregation greeted this with
laughter and hand clapping, and a
vote Of thanks for DR.. Pearsons. 1t is
further said that it is not on record
that any director on the board object
ed to the acceptance of the money.
"This gift is not tainted money !"
announced Rev. DR.. Patton. 1--WE hope
the theological seminaries and the
hundred poor colleges will get their
fifty thousand but they will not get
this fifty thousand.

INDIAN SUMMER.
burlington Hawkeye.l


Evidently the poet who grew enthu-
siastic over the perfect day in June,
never spent late fall in Iowa. We
call it our Indian summer. and even
he who has no poetry in his soul, to
whom a bit of fine scenery appeals
not and who is not moved by the con-
cord of sweet sounds, is impressed by
the magniflcence of our Indian sum-
mer days. Why Indian summer? No
doubt the Indian enjoyed the days and
weeks, when the sumach filings his
scarlet to the breeze, and when all
nature seems to be arrayed in the fair
est, brightest colors, perhaps the car
nival of nature that precedes the SOM
Der winter months, the reckless aban-
don of brightness, gayety and color
which somehow brightens the time of
don of joy, gayety and color. Why
was it named after him? Perhaps
because the reds and browns and yell
lows predominant, and the Indian in
his native finery might be the typical
representation of the fairest season of
all the long year. Reluctantly, the
Iowan confesses that his climate is
not all perfection. If it were, it would
soon become unbearable. 1t would be
like the person, who forever wears a
smirk, or grin, and whose face is an
everlasting temptation for a ready fist.
Conceded that we have weather that is
not perfect. But we have the compen-
sation in weeks of Indian summer that
are absolutely unrivaled, Everyone
has tried to describe our Indian sum-
mer, and none have succeeded. 1t is
like painting the rainbow. Such days
must be seen, must be felt. 1t is not
the eye alone that drinks in the scene
with delight; it is not the ear alone
that catches far from the madding
crowd, all manner Of voices and songs
and instruments in the grand chorus
of nature; it is not the lungs alone
that feast upon the pure crisp air, that
fairly intoxicates you; it is not the
sense of smell alone, that is delighted
with an odor OF slight, pungent, indie
scribable, yet strangely agreeable; it
is all these and much more. And get
ting away from the busy haunts Of
man, up among the islands of the
grand river or walking or driving
through wooded vale, or broad
expanse of prairie there are sermons
in an Indian summer dav. more elo-
quent, more effective than any that
have ever been put into words. He
who loves nature, returns to his la
bors, physically, mentally and morally
better, because of a day in the open
during Indian summer.

PROGRESSIVE EAs1NEss.

[George Fitch in the Council Bluffs
Nonpareill
A farmer met a gambler at country
fair one day.
He bet upon "a shell game in a. most
audacious way:
But the gambler knew his business, so
with calm, insulting grin,
He won the farmers bank roll and he
scooped it deftly in.
The gambler was in clover so he soon
was city bound,
And he hied him to a race course
where the ponies run around;
But a bland and smiling bookie, with
a patronizinz leer,
Sold him tickets on the favortte who
finished in the rear.
Then the bool1ie in his triumph, sought
a bucket shop in haste,
And upon a spring wheat flyer all his
hard earned wealth he placed:
But the crafty operator who was rum
ming of the shop
Raked it in and Soothly whistled as ne
watched the market drop.
The man who ran the bucket shop
went ON the board of trade,
And mighty man of finance got the
money he had made,
And the mighty man of finance to a
bank all happy, went;
And he left his new found million with
it's aged president.
The rest is short of telling; to the bank
woman came,
And she fleeced it's aged owner by
.s,7 foolish little game;
Now the moneys gone forever, thru
the simple maiden's charm
And once more it's swiftly sitting on
it way back to the farm.
