THE SUN IS ALWAYS SHININ'

When you go to getting troubled, and the world seems upside down, When misfortune stares upon you with an awful looking frown. There's cheerfulness in known {, when it's dark for me an you. That the sun IS always shinin', and the sky is always blue. When the clouds appear the thickest an the daylight seems withdrawn, An the hopeful joy O Twin seems to be entirely gone, Just remember, when the darkest, !, just little distance through, That the sun is always shinin', an the sky is always blue. So there ain DO use in fre1tin' al the hardships that we meet, For the birds are still a-singin', and the flowers are just as sweet: An behind the deepest shadow there : a heap O promise, ton. For the sun is always shinin'. an the SKY is always blue.

esting Curios

Charles \. Burg of this town has one of the most interesting collections in the state. While Mr. Burg acted as United States Army Scout during the Indian uprising in the West, most of his time was devoted to observation of those strange people and the stranger and yet wilder fife that existed about them in the foot hills and vast barrens. Every thing in his collection has his- tory of its own, there are deer skins, bear skins, panther scalPs, mounted buffalo heads, and in fact q reminder in some form of every kind of animal life that IS indigenous to that great country in its widest state. He has q picture of his faithful old horse and the shaft of an arrow that was buried in his side by one of d hostile tribe of Indians. He has,. the old gun that finished IF that Indian, and one of his brethren; to make 1t little more convincing has two very handsomely dressed scalps. He has a necklace made of the claws of wild animals. pipe that Chief Red Cloud gave him and a table covered with little curios that he has gathered from d hundred different Indian camps. Mr. Burg has collections from his native town in Germany and souvenirs that were presented te him while he was d student al Heidelberg and by the time one has completed a round of his curlo room he has learned much that Is valuable and pleasant te think upon.-Fayetteville Demo. crat.

Two Kinds of Reading.

If we make the pages of our books merely q sort of pleasant maze in which to set our minds to wandering during idle hours we in reading shall have acquired pastime that is usually harmless. But there is a vast differ ence between such a way of spending our time and the reading that teaches us to think as the greatest and wisest men and women have thought. Words stand in our minds for certain ideas or images. From what we read we learn to make these plain or hay. clear ly drawn pictures or carelessly execut- cd sketches, and thus our powers of thinking are directly trained by our method of reading-St. Nicholas

Magnet Power.

The lifting of massive iron and steel plates weighing four, six and twelve tons by magnetism is now done every workday in q number of large steel works. The magnets are suspended by chains from cranes and pick up the plates by simple contact and without the loss of time consequent to the ad- tustment Of chain and hooks in the older method. It is also found that the metal plates can be lifted by the mag nets while still so hot that 1t would be impossible for the men to handle them. 4 magnet weighing 300 pounds will lift nearly five tons.

RELIGIOUS TATTOOiNG.
A Custom That Is In Vogue In On.
 Part of Italy.


 Tn the vanity" section of a museum st Florence there is an interesting col lection Of blocks used for what is call cd religious tattooing" among Italian peasants of the district inciosed be tween the Abruzzi, Umbria and the Adrlstic.
 Peasants in these parts at work with shirt sleeves rolled up display a Chris tan symbol of some sort or text tat tcoed in blue ink on their brown skin. This has been imprinted on the occa- sion of some special festival.
 A wooden block is pressed upon the tightly drawn skin to mark the ont lines of the design. This is then pune tured, and a blue ink is rubbed into the wounds. which usually heal in about twenty-four hours. The custom, which is essentially Christian, is in eommemoratIon of the branding Of St Francis, who founded q monastery close to Loretto.-London Telegraph.

BLIND SONG WRITER
Eighty Years of Age, But Still
 Vigorous in Intellect.


 some of the best known of the worlds sacred songs. was s5 years old today. She passed the day quietly at her home in this city. the greater part of the time being spent in listening to her sister read some of the hundreds of letters and messages Of con- graduation that poured in from every part of the country. One of the most welcome of the con- gratutatory letters by Miss Cros- by was from former President Grover Cleveland. When the hymn writer was teacher in the New York Institute for the Blind many years ago, Grover Cleveland was secretary to the president of that institution, and he has writ ten her a letter in which he says:
 .It is more than fifty years ago that our acquaintance and friend ship began, and ever since that time I have watched your contin- uous and disinterested labor in uplifting humanity and pointing out the way to an appreciation of Gods goodness and mercy.
 As one proud to call you an old friend, I desire to be early in joining your other friends and ad- mirers in eongratulating you on your long life of usefulness. and wishing you in the years yet to be added to you the peace and camfort born of the love of God. Please accept, besides, the in- closed contribution of testimo- nial which IS richly due you at the hands of those who believe you have done much for the souls in need of help.
 The eyesight of Miss Crosby was destroyed by the application of hot poultices to her eyes when she was a baby. II was while she was a young woman In the Sos that she first became known as song writer. She was spend- ing vacation in Reading, Pa, when she became acquainted with Prof. Geo. F. Root. who in after years became the composer of SO many songs. Prof. Root became impressed with Miss Crosby's talent, and they formed combi- nation in which she wrote the verses for the songs that he eom- posed. During the war Miss Crosby wrote number of patriot ic songs.
 She has enjoyed the friendship of a number of prominent men, including Presidents Tyler and Van Buren, Henry Clay, William H. Seward and Gen. Winfield Scott, and she has met many of the most conspicuous figures in American history since those days.
 One of the most pathetic incl dents of her life is told in eonnec- tion with the friendship that eX- isted between her and Henry Clay. The great statesman had lost d son in the Mexican battle of Monterey, and Miss Crosby wrote a few appropriate stanzas and sent them to the father. These touched him deeply. A few months later, while visiting in New York, he was received at the institution where Miss Crosby was teaching. She had been delegated to give him a poetlcal welcome, and after 1t was over Mir. Clay drew the blind girls arm in his and wept as he said: This is not the first poem for which l am inde ebted to this lady. She sent me some beautiful lines on the death of my dear son.
 Mir. Clay soon recovered him. self by a splendid effort, said Miss Crosby. when recalling this incident, ''but I could not control my tears.

The biennial amendment is to be
tested in Story county. The case has
arisen over the action of the majority
of the trustees of Richland township
in passing resolution designating a
new place for holding the general elec-
tion in that township on the Tuesday
next after the first Monday in next
November, and directing the township
clerk to post ten days before the day
of election notices of such designation.
The proceedings is one of injunction
by the third trustee, whose term OF
office has been attempted to be ex'
tended by the amendment and who
seeks to restrain the notices or from
doing any other official act looking tc
the holding of a general election in thai
township on the day indicated or OF
any other day prior to the Tuesday
next after the first Monday of Novem
Der in next year. The matter is sub
mitted on an agreed statement OF facts
and an adjudication will be sought a
early as possible.

HEPBURN'S RATE BILL.

Representative Hepburn of Iowa on
Saturday introduced his bill amend
ing the interstate commerce act,
which has been under consideration
some time, and which has been SUBJ
mitted to the president and attorney
general and other members of the ad-
ministration, and will doubtless be
given serious consideration by Con-
gress. It's provisions follow: Upon
complaint the interstate commerce
commission shall declare and order
what shall be just and reasonable
rate, which order shall take effect in
sixty days, the carrier having an ap-
peal to court of commerce to have
the order of the commission reviewed.
Pending the review, the court my sus-
pend the order requiring bond from
the carrier, for the payment of all
damages incurred by shippers.
The commission is also authorized
to fix joint rate in case two or more
carriers fail to agree on rates, order
affecting these rates being subject to
review by the court of commerce.
The president is authorized to ap-
point an assistant attorney general for
the enforcement of the act. The inter
state commerce commission is author
lied during q judicial review of its
order to modify or suspend the order
under review. Carriers refusing to
obey an order of the commission are
subject to penalty of 5000 day.
An appeal from the court of COM
merce can only be taken to the su-
preme court of the United States.
The present interstate commerce
commission is abolished and new
commission created composed of seven
commissioners at $1,000 a year. The
terms of the commissioners shall be
ten years.
A court of commerce, composed OF
five circuit judges of the United
States, is created which shall hold
four regular sessions each year in
Washington. The court shall have
exclusive jurisdiction over cases
brought by the interstate commerce
commission.
The chief justice Of the supreme
court of the United States is authorized
to designate on the first of each year
five circuit judges who shall constitute
the court of commerce. The president
is authorized to appoint an additional
circuit judge for each of the judicial
districts of the United States who are
authorized to perform the duties of
the judges of the circuit court.
The bill consists of twenty-one sec
tions, much attention being given to
the details and methods Of procedure
under which the commission and the
court of commerce shall proceed.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1905-01-25

Congressman G.. N. Haugen, after a
conference with the President, gives
it as his opinion that it would be to
the interest of the railroads not to op-
pose action by Congress this winter in
the matter of rate medication. He
believes that if an extra session were
called next fall more stringent
measures would be demanded than at
present He says, Personally l shall
not regret it if legislation is deferred
this winter and an extra session is
called" said Mr.. Haugen. II want
to see the most effective legislation
possible and I believe it more likely
to be secured if an extra session is
called for that purpose. Mr.. Haugen
doubts if it will be possible this win
ter to get more than mild measure
through, which would prove of little
use ON trial.

The Progress of WoOdcraft.

Our Modern Woodmen boys will be
interested in the following concerning
the business of the order for the past
year:
On January 1st there was ssO7, $50. 05
in the benefit fund, with claims
amounting to 1868, ,661. 80 outstanding,
leaving balance of $l3S, 925. 10. For
the year 1904, 3,737 deaths were re-
ported and claims to the amount of
81, 66S, 900. So were allowed. There was
an increase of 42S deaths. and $7l5,-
522. 20 in claims allowed. There were
81, 71S certificates allowed, as against
e3, l5S in 1908, an increase of 1850.
There were 7Sl new camps installed,
as compared to 704 for the preceding
year. The effort of the management
has been to install fewer camps and
make each camp stronger.

JURY UNANIMITY UNNECESSARY.

One of the clogs upon a satisfactory
running of the mills of justice may be
found in the mistrial records. A jury
must vote unanimously or there is no
verdict. After a disagreement the
cause goes back to the calendar, and a
new trial must be had. Inasmuch as
the whole system of our government
is based upon the rule of the majority,
the requirement for unanimity in the
jury box is one that should not be
retained in our judicial practice,
says the Chicago Evening Post. In
the trial of capital cases public
sentiment would probably insist upon
unanimous vote for conviction be-
fore the death penalty could be
inflicted; but in all other suits or
prosecutions the decision of nine
members of jury ought to be ac-
cepted as a verdict.
It is a peculiar inconsistency in
our judicial system that, while all
of the members of petit jury sit
ting in Judgment on a trivial suit
must be brought to one way of think
ing before the facts are determined
and the law applied, a bare ma
jority of the justices in the United
States Supreme Court may settle
issues affecting the very life of the
nation. How many decisions would
be rendered by any of our Appellate
Courts if unanimity on the bench
was Imperative?
In Hawaii, prior to the annexation
of that little archipelago, the voice
of nine jurymen was taken as the
Judgment of the whole jury, and
there was no reason to complain of
the quality of the Justice dispensed.
Delays due to jury disagreements
were rare, and attempts at Jury fix
ing'' were unknown. AS long as it is
possible for one man to hold up
jury, so that trial comes to naught,
the purchase of a juror may be
practical means of defeating prose-
cution or of depriving a plaintiff of
Justice; but when four men must be
corrupted before the court can be
turned into bargain counter, the
cost and the risk become too great.
The movement in favor of treating
the vote of nine jurors as the
verdict is wholly in the interest
of the people who need protection
against the laws delays and the
laws expense. There are men who
habitually refuse to meet their
just obligations until they are
forced to do so. They count upon
the unwillingness of people Of small
means to embark in litigation; and
one of the reasons for this reluct-
ance is found in the proverbial un-
certainty about petit jury's
verdict. Defendants who are forced
into courts by unjust claims also
hesitate to fight lest they find them
selves involved in prolonged litiga-
tion. The divided jury is one of
the great risks to be considered; /;
and litigants with good cases are
often impelled to compromise with
injustice rather than waste time,
temper and money in trying to get
twelve men to agree concerning
complicated law and contradictory
testimony.
Unanimity in the jury box is
one of the evils imposed on us by
tradition and maintained largely
by the influence of lawyers. The
interest of the great majority OF
the people demands that the prin-
ciple of majority rule be applied to
our iury system.
