AN INSTANCE OF PUBLIC SPIRIT.
TIowa City Republican,
Victor, over at the west end of Iowa
county, has a public spirited citizen.
He has graciously consented not to
run his automobile on the principal
road to the fair grounds during the
coming fair, for fear of cutting down
the attendance, as the horses over
there don't know what an automobile
looks like. Such thoughtfulness and
courtesy is rare and greatly to be
commended.
THE FAULT OF EDUCATION.

A Hottentot who had been convert-

one day kneeling before a kerosene can
in an attitude Of alteration. The fac
ulty Of the seminary was horrif1ed at
this relapse to idolatrous habits, but
before eNpelling him they conducted
an examination and found that the
poor man had been converted by
who had been educated in
a school heavily endowed with tainted
money.

Cement the Future Building Material.
Reports from building statistics col
lectors show that the development and
expansion In the cement industry dur
ing the last decade have been phenom-
email. In 1895 the production In this
country amounted to 99O,324 barrels.
In 1904 more than 22,00O,000 barrels
were produced, with an additional
100000 imported to provide for short
age Of supply. The reason for this de-
velopment is that the product is Inn
measurably cheaper than stone, brick,
wood, ETC., their equal for most pur-
poses and superior for many. Within
the last few years the process Of man
ufacture has 80 much improved as to
reduce It's cost more than 100 per cent.

For all young fancy's early CLEANS
The dreamed Of joys that still are
dreams,
Hopes unfulf1lled and pleasures known
Through others fortunes, not my own,
And blessings seen that are not given,
And ne'er will be this side Of heaven.
Had /, too, shared the joys I see.
Would there have been heaven for
me?
Could have felt thy presence near,
Had possessed what held dear?
My deepest fortune highest bliss,
Have grown, perchance, from things I
miss.
Sometimes there comes an hour Of
calm;
Griefs turn to blessings, pain to balm;
A power that works above my will
Still leads me onward, upward, still;
And then my heart attains to this
To thank thee for the things / miss.

SMALL soYs IN BACK eEATs
odd Phase Of School pays That 1llps-
tratss the Larger DusiAssa
Of Life.

With the opening Of the schools
after the long summer vacation
il always seems queer to see such
small boys in the back seats, says
Youths Companion. Those who
went in Jure appeared consider
ably larger than the class that
now take their places. Not only
are t,.cse highest grade i.0ys and
girls of September Younger than
their predecessors Of June, but
they seem less prepared for the
studies before them.
1t is mach the same in life.
Whenever new men cone to the
front TO take places which have
been long filled hy thcir elders, it
seems ms il the World were falling
into the hands Of younger gen.
Grafton. The lieutenants who be
come captains appear younger
than ever to the colonies who
look on.
In new countries, whore promo
ton in civil life is most rapid, 1t
often Seems as If YOUNGSTERS were
wholly in control. They do get
ahead faster in the places which
do not attract the men that have
passed middle life. Yet taking
the world rs whole, the figures
would doubtless show that each
decade was using about the same
proportion of the young. the mid
d'e-agrd and the old. The new oc-
cupant, Of any position who Mt
tracts attention because OF his

tinction. People forget that he

the completion of two and half

truth in this bit Of WI ggishness.

Capt. John Rost. the physician who
has proved that common salt is an ex-
celent remedy for cancer, has a brusque,
unexpected eort Of wit" said a surgeon
of New York. according to the Tires.
Capt Rost was for tine In private
practice. He did we'll; he effected some
remarkable cures: but he had no pa
tieEce with the imaginary ailments OF
certain type Of rich person. and, to
escape treating people who were not
really sick. he turned to original re-
search.
"A matron Of wealth was one Of Cart.
Rost's early patients. She was never
i'll. but eternally she feared that some
dreadful disease was about to attack her.
"One afternoon she sent for Rost
posthaste. He found her in first-class
health. She was only afraid that. on &C.
count Of the dampness 1t might be un-
wise for her to go to the theater that
evening.

was putting on his gloves in the hall a

To Destroy the Prairie Dog.

The wholesale destruction Of prairie
dogs is another crusade on which the
Colorado Horse and Cattle Growers
association is to embark within the
next few months, says the Denver
News. Not content with fighting the
railroad trust for governmental con-
troll Of rates, from now on the menu
beers of the association will make life
such . burden to the little prairie dog
that, like the big packers and men,
bers Of the packing trust, he will be
compelled to flee the country.
As soon as possible the association
will erect three experiment stations
In Colorado, one in Garfield county,
another in Las Animas county, and
a third in Larimer county. Scien-
lists from the United States bureau
Of agriculture will be placed in charge
Of them, and If possible n method will
be discovered that will lead to the
adjustment of both prairie dogs and
gophers.
The cattlemen and horsemen Of the
state say that every year their dam
age from this source alone amounts
to hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and that with the small range they
now have for use it is absolutely nee
essary to make 1t safe or that it will
be impossible for them to turn their
stock out.

Stories Of dogs which have rec
cued people from Are OF water are
not uncommon. One, however,
which comes from Marysville,
CAL, says Youths Companion, II
quite new in its details. A heavy
forest fire was raging near the line
between Butte and Yuba counties.
A rancher named Rogers left his
little daughter, Florence, in care
Of Bruno, a great Dane, and with
his wife fastened across the
woods to assist neighbor a mile
away to fight the fire that was
threatening his barn.
In less than an hour the wind
shifted SO as to menace the Rog-
ers premises. Realizing the dan
ger, Rogers, his wife and three
neighbors started on the run, but
they could not keep pace with the
flames.
Mrs. Rogers tainted before COM
ing in sight Of the house. When
the men reached the edge of the
clearing the flames were all about
it, the stables on fire, and the
house was just beginning to blaze.
Rogers, now frantic, was pre-
pairing to dash through the circle
of flames to rescue his child. But
before he could reach his house,
out burst big Bruno through the
kitchen window, holding the lit
tie girl in his great jaws.
When he landed with a bounce
Bruno dropped Florence for an
instant; but picking her up again
he came bounding on across the
clearing, the weeds of which were
then on fire. He ran straight to
Rogers and gently deposited the
frightened child at his feet.
Bruno seemed to have realized
his own peril as well as Florence's.
He was in a closed room, and no
made bold dash through a win

Degrees OF Crime.

Commenting OH the (up to date
miscarriage Of Justice in the Fidel-
ity-Johnson case, the GlenwOod Post
says:
s'E. M. johnson of Fidelity fame
seems to be running close race with
Nan Patterson. For the part that he
played In wrecking the Fidelity Loan
association he has thrice been tried
by jury and in each case the jury has
disagreed. Through the escapades
Of Nan Patterson, whether she killed
Cesar Young or not, one home, WI ich
WAS none too happy in the first place,
WAS made sad. Through the wreck
age Of the Fidelity by johnson and
his associates thousands of homes
suffered the sadness which results
from financial losses. 1t is true that
human life should be exalted above
and beyond money or those things
which money can buy and yet If we
could see the old and decrepit men
and women who saved and scrimped
and denied themselves even the me-
cessities of life in.siprder to keep up
their Fidelity payments to the end
that there might by and by be placed
TO their credit a snug sum sufficient
to purchase home In which the rap
idly declining years might be spent
free from fears OF the sheriff or the
rent collector-if We could realize all
the SORROW, disappointment and hard
ship resulting from the Fidelity fail
ure we would almost be tempted to
wonder which Of the defendants, as
Stunning both are guilty as charged,
has really committed the greater
crime. This is a question which will
bear some study and investigation
for while murder is II terrible crime
and, from n legal standpoint is re-
garded the greatest In degree In the
entire criminal calendar il 1t not true
that, measured by resultant effects,
crimes are committed every day
which cause more sorrow, disap-
pointment, suffering and real grief
shan results from murder and isn't 1t
true that in many of these cases the
legal penalty is altogether inadequate
TO the ea,ormity of the crime@'
Yes, sir, the crimes being COM
mitted by the JohnsOns, collars and
their class are greater than the Nan
Patterson crime-even supposing she
was guilty.
