lie Roi est Mort!
Vive lie ROi! !"

Such was the cry of the people
in ancient times when word went
forth that the king was dead; for
the laws we're such that as soon as
the breath of life left the body of
one king, there was another, ready
made, awaiting to take up the
fallen scepter. Hence, 1.-THE king
never dies. " Generally, little
grief was manifested and few tears
shed for the dead monarch, for
good kings we're few in those days
but the machinery of the king
dom to the minutest detail, went
on without jar or friction. Much
the same is true in our day-the
President, the Governor or the
mayor is stricken by the hand of
death, yet the business of the ma
ton, the State or the city,
never clashes or ceases to move in
it's accustomed routine. But oh
how sadly different it is, when
the father, the king of the fire.
side, is taken from his love and
loving subjects. Then, the whole
domestic fabric is paralyzed and
every department of the once ma
chine.like system of the house
hold is wrecked. and the very ex-
istence of things i'll general, is
doubted by those sore.hearted
and stricken loved ones. No
ready-made king is there awaiting
to assume the duties and fill the
Office that remains vacant-the
crown and scepter unused by an
other, forevermorel
These thoughts came to the
writer when his lifelong friend
and companion, John B. Dryden,
was taken from his happy little
kingdom. And when 1 say happy
little kingdom, 1 mean all the
term implies; for, with his loving
disposition and thoughtfulness;
his watchful care and kindness of
heart, it couldsbe none other than
a perfectly contented and loving
home-circle. He was naturally a
domestic Misunderstanding first
the welfare and wishes of his
family before all else-and when
the cares and worries of the busy
day was done, home was his chosen
haven, content to be with the
happy wife and loving children,
rather than any other place.
When he did go out, it was usually
in the company of his life's part
ner-the sharer of his joys ind
sorrows; his faithful, loving and
constant companion-his devoted
wife. How is it possible for any
one to even attempt to console
her wounded heart? Words are
idle and deeds availeth not. She
has the sad satisfaction of know
ing that, during the long contest
with disease, she was like a minis
tering angel in the sick room
watchful; faithful; untiring unto
the end. And for this alone the
God of the stricken ones, will
surely comfort her in her sore
trial. Much has been written of
the public spiritedness of John B.
Dryden, but the truest index to
this part of his character is found
in the remarks of an ex-city off,
cial, who, in speaking of him as
an editor. remarked that when
yer he started out to accomplish
any improvement OF reform. no
matter how insignificant it might
be, he never once abandoned his
object; but, with good-natured
persistence, he kept the matter

fair chance of being reappointed.

POULTRY PRIZES AWARDED.
Rochester's Big Show Proves to Be
Hiahly Successful.

Rochester. Dec lj.-The Southeastern
Poultry association which has been hold
ing its fourth annual poultry show in
this city since Monday, awarded silver
cups to the winners. In order to win
a cup an exhibitor had to show the best
twelve birds in one class. There were
six cups in all but only four were award
ed, as other exhibits fell short OH the
number of their birds The show has
been a complete success and over 600
birds from all over southeastern Mime
sofa were shown. First in interest was
the awarding of the sweepstakes cup.
This must be won twice in succession
before the winner can keep the prize.
SO far three different fanciers have each
captured the cup once. In 1904 it was
decided by the association to give
sweepstakes cup to the exhibitor who
had the best ten birds at the annual
show and if it was won twice, two con-
sec;itive years, the winner might keep
the cup. Ralph Whitney, of Stewart
vile, was the first one to capture the
token. In 1905 Watts Sherman of Red
wing won out. This year the trophy was
taken by still another exhibitor. T. S.
Person, of Zumbrota. The four other
cups which were awarded to those hav-
ing the best twelve birds in one class
were, taken by the following: Partridge

TAKES UP LUMBER TRUST
Commissioner Of Corporations Gar.
field is After Combine.

Washington, Dee. lS.-Without wait
ing for congress to pass any resolution
on the subject, Commissioner of Corpora
tons Garfield has begun an investigation
into the operation of the so-callal lum-
Der trust
This investigation will add one more
to the number Commissioner Garfield
has instituted. For more than a year
he has been inquiring into the tobacco
steel, sugar and coal industries. All
this work is well advanced, the tobacco
inquiry being nearest completion But
no statement regarding any of these in
dustries will be submitted during the
present session of congress.
The only reports of this character will
come from the interstate commerce
commission. That body will submit a
preliminary report on the oil industry,
within the next few days, and will fol-
low it with further reports on the grain,
elevator and bituminous coal situations.
The operations of the lumber trust are
receiving a great deal of consideration in
congress. Senator Kittredge, of South
Dakota, introduced a resolution in the
senate, some days ago, directing the
commissioner of corporations to investi-
gate THE cause or causes of the high
price of lumber in its various stages of
manufacture from the log" and to ascer-
tam whether or not a lumber trust ex-
lists. A resolution to the same effects
was introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Miller, of Kansas.
These congressman apparently did not
know that the commissioner of corpora /.
lions already had begun an investiga-
ton to ascertain whether a lumber trust
existed and its influence upon prices.
Preliminary information shows chat
during the last three years the price of
lumber has advanced by regular stages,
indicating, at least, unanimity of con
troll The advance has ranged from 81
to $40 thousand feet.

speaker. vice president and mem ers of
the cabinet.
Representative Clark of Florida was
accorded an ovation when he announced
that he desired to discuss the question
from the standpoint of poor man. He
called attention to the fact that men
are leaving the service of the country
and returning to private life solely be-
cause the salary which they receive in
public positions was inadequate.
Il believe" he said. there are not ten
men ON this floor who in private con
versation will not say the salary is in
adequate and ought to be raised,' but
some say i cannot afford to vote for it. y
Would Answer the Papers.
"FOr Gods sake. let us answer the
great daily papers who are challenging
our courage to 90 upon the record by
our votes before all the country" was
his concluding appeal.
Mr.. Lamar of Florida opposed the
amendment, as did Representative Grou-
ma of North Dakota, Lacey of Iowa and
Weber of Ohio.
Representative Sullivan of Massachu-
sets, who retires with this congress, in
supporting the amendment, said it would
be opposed largely from the principal of
self-preservation, which is the first law
of nature.
They understand he said, "that
small compensation is the usual refe1se
sometimes the only protection of me-
ocrity. AS salaries increase mediocrity
diminishes, for better men are attracted
to the public service"
Others who spoke in favor of the
amendment were Representatives Gros-
venor of Ohio and Sims and Gaines OF
Tennessee.

WILL HATCH CHICKS.

Show in January.

The Central Minnesota Poultry asso-
citation will hold its annual show in
Mankato Jan. 1925. The association
has almost doubled its active member
ship and over sixty merchants and bus
mess men are assisting the association
by becoming members. This should as
sure the largest show the association
ever held AM become one of the largest
if not the largest in the state. The sec
rotary. J. w. Kollmann, while in Mime
apOlis last week, made arrangement with
the international Food company to make
an exhibit and hatch chicks during the
show. Arrangements for an exhibit of
fancy birds from Oak Park, H. could
not be made, as Mr. Evans wrote that
he would not exhibit anywhere this win
ter. Nevertheless the show will have
an aviary and show pheasants, water
fowls. etc
The association offers four silver cups.
The rule to win them differs somewhat
from most association rules. For in
stance, one of the associations of the
larger cities has been Offering eight cups
for the last five or six years, which
have to be won three times in succession,
which is almost impossible At Man
kato you win them once. They become
your property, considering the amount
paid for entering fowls. No association
pays higher premiums.
Mr.. George Holden, the Judge, will
place the ribbons where they belong.
The association has coops enough to
place all birds in nice, newly painted
quarters. Adding to this the many com
plimentary letters received from exhibit
tors who showed here before. The asso-
citation feels assured of large patron
