MRS. GEORGE J. GOULD.


tage was undeniaIiy suitable for an
alliance with the chief heir of one Of
the wealthiest men of the day. Per-
sonally she was the embodiment of a
beautiful, gracious, vivacious, we'll
bred and mentally lowered American
girl.
Ideal is a hackneyed and greatly
abused word, but it is the only one
that aptly and satisfactorily describes
the life and companionship of the
Goulds in the two decades that have
elapsed since they stood at the altar.
Mrs. Gould is pre-eminently a domes-
tic woman. Her home and her stall
wart boys and handsome, sprightly
girls are her first consideration, in
common with her husband.
Regardless of their great wealth,
the Goulds live their. lives simply. Mrs.
Gould has artistic tastes developed and
cultivated along rational lines, and
these she INDUCES to the top of her
bent. Mr.. Gould is in fullest sympa-
thy with her inclinations in this di-
rection and shares them with her.
Probably there are nowhere persons of
their means who are less in the public
prints than the Goulds. Mrs. Gould
cares little for society, as most per-
sons accept the term, but is found of
entertaining the congenial men and
women who compose their set.

THE INCUBATOR BABY.
Story of How Two Women Struggled
for Its Possession.

The tiny little infant who reposed
In the incubator at the st. Louis Fair
has, since the close of that exposition,
attracted n8sre attention than it did
during the entire time that it was the
object of interest of the sightseers.
At the close of the Exposition, two
women sought possession of the child,
each claiming it to be her own. Each
secured writ giving her the custody
Of the child through decrees of differ
ent courts, but Mrs. Bleakley, who had
at first been awarded the care of the
infant through the ruling of the law
at Moline, Illinois, took the law into
her own hands when the court at Law
renee, Kansas, decided against her.
According to his own story, Senator
Fred d. Smith, of Kinsley, played an
important role in the case when the
mother of the incubator baby re-
Gently disappeared suddenly with the
baby from Lawrence.
"When Mrs. Bleakley left the court
room at Lawrence after the decision
against her." he stated, "and returned
to her mothers house she was nearly
frantic. In mere desperation she
fled from the back door and sought
refuge in a college fraternity house
nearby and begged the boys to help
her. 1t was then nearly 6 o'clock, and
the parents of one of the boys, a red
headed frat. youngster, were expect
ed to be on Santa Fe train No. 6 en-
route TO Kansas City, and this boy
had a hack in readiness to drive him
TO the train. The boys promptly raised
a purse of s25 to get some clothes Tor

ter submitted the matter to him Of how
to get Mrs. Bleakeley and the baby
across from the Santa Fe to the Rock
Island train, which might be late with
out observation. The Sheriff prompt
ly overruled that plan and it was
agreed that Mrs. Bleakeley should re-
main in the Pullman drawing room
while in Kansas City, and go through
to the Sheriff's home town, where he
would put her on the train for Moline.
AS a precaution the Sheriff added
Mrs in front of the name on a bench
warrant with which he had been on a
fruitless errand to Colorado, and placed
Mrs. Bleakeley under arrest, techni-
cally at least.
"When the train reached Kansas City

bought a nursing bottle and hot milk
and other necessaries for the baby,

shall be pro-rated among the land
benefited and paid back by the settlers
into the fund.-" to be used over again
for additional reclamation work.
Would Create Thousands Of Homess
This plan Of developing the internaf
resources Of the country and making
homes of waste places, is splendid in
its scope, and appears to be entirely
practicable and profitable. Take for
instance, the single example Of the
swamp lands of the Kankakee River
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 400 thousand acres of the
very richest Of bottom lands, but SUBJ
ject to overflow. They are worthless
except where they have been reclaimd
through expensive private drainage
works. when they have become worth
500. and $3.50. an acre. Yet it is es-
timated by the government surveyors
and engineers that the entire system
could be effectively drained at a cost
in the neighborhood of $40. an acre.
The same can be said of the lands of
the Red River Valley in Minnesota.
These include the finest grain and
farm lands in the northwest EXCEPT
that they are frequently overflowed. 1t
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
occupy these lands in small tracts, to
have perfect system of drainage pro-
vided. These extensive systems, how
ever, especially where they are inter-
state, seem to be feasible for. handling
only by the general government.
The Steenerson bill places the en-
tire management of the work in t.
Reclamation Service and the plan OF
operation follows very closely the ir-
rigation work now being done by that
branch Of the Interior Department.
Government lands, ceded Indian Ian s
and private lands may be included il
any drainage project, but in each case
the cost OF the drainage improvement
is to be borne by the owner of tho
land and no settler can have drainage
provided for more than 100 acres, thUs
insuring the division Of the tracts int)
small farms which must be actually
settled upon and titled.
Drainage Work Already in Progress.
This work the Reclamation Servi-,
is qualified to do at this very moment.
While primarily an engineering bureau
it has, in all it's great irrigation pro-
jects, to deal directly with the farmer.
It must outline a comprehensive drain
age system for each irrigation project.

AN INTERESTING DRIVE.

DIR. VIM. Yuill invited the editor of
the Expositor to take ride out i'm the
country with him Monday afternoon,
and we accepted the invitation, being
glad of the chance to get out to see
what our farmer friends were doing,
besides getting breath of fresh air.
The first place we visited was the
gravel pit of Henry Dinner, one mile
north and two west of our city, where
a number of skeletons of human bodies
had recently been unearthed. In one
grave were found three, two in another
and one i'm the third. Whether they
are the skeletons of white men or In
dians is not known, yet the DIR. gave it
as his opinion that they are Indians.
Mr.. Dinner informs us that no relies
of any description have been found in
any of the graves. Our readers will
remember that about year ago the
first lot OF skeletons were discovered,
and since then inquiry has been made
of the old settlers but the mystery of
these bodies being buried in that local
ity could not be solved. In each in
stance the heads were laid to the east.
From here we drove over to the
home of James Brown and the DR.. Wis
tied sick child. Mr.. Brown has 4
fine farm and recently erected good
sized bank barn.
We were both curious to see the
bunch of deer in the park at Samuel
Holcomb's place and drove over there.
The park is located in the orchard back
of the house and is surrounded by a
high woven wire fence. A buck and a
doe and two fawns were a pretty sight
To look at. The animals are quite
tame.
The next place visited was Robert
Irving's farm two miles north of Yale.
Here the DIR. made professional call
to see Mrs. Jackson, the old lady whose
leg was broken and badly bruised in a
runaway about ten weeks ago. She is
doing finely for lady of her age-70
years and is able to sit up each day.
We had a pleasant visit with the fam
lily and in conversation Mr.. Irving in
formed us that it was fifty-one years
since his parents settled i'm that locality
and that he had seen the country i'm
prove from swamp to rich crop-pro-
ducing farms. The editor was shown
through the fine large bank barn on
the place and found everything con-
venient and in apple pie order.
On our way home we drove over two
miles of the worst roads in the coun-
try. AS long as we can remember this
piece of road has been an eyesore and
il will be ever thus unless the business
men of Yale and the farmers whose
farms adjon the highway do not make
a move towards bettering it. Yale
loses lot of trade just because farm
ers and others will not drive over such
horrible roads. Why will not someone
who is up on road building, take the
lead and interest our townsmen and
the farmers living on the north of us,
and make start towards building up
a splendid road out of a quagmirey

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

Thanksgiving Day is near at hand
again. How quickly has the past year
slipped by! 1t seems but Short sea-
son since last we all gathered around
the large table in the parental home,
with our friends and dearest ones on
each side. Good cheer pervaded the
whole atmosphere. From far and wide
had gathered the absent ones to cele-
brate in the old homestead, this day of
Thanksgiving instituted by the staunch
old New England pioneers as a just re-
turn for Gods manifold blessings.
Our city has suffered no severe cal
amity. Sorrows have come to individ-
uals, but these are inevitable and are
greatly overshadowed by the blessings
bestowed. We must take the bitter
with the sweet, that our character may
be more perfectly rounded out, mould
ed more nearly like the Great Pattern.
The days of the abundant harvest
are just over. The barns and shelters
are full to bursting of hay, grain and
all needful supplies for the winter.
Why should we not be thankful?
And while we are enjoying ourselves
around the table laden with all the
good things the loving mother knows
each one in particular likes, do not for
get to bestOw on the poor of our cOun-
try, a thought of their sufferings Out
of your abundance can you not do a
little to alleviate their hunger, their
heartaches? Thanksgiving Day comes
but once year. Why should not all
be able to render thanks for some bles-
sing received from fellow man? Let
us make this day day of good cheer
for all

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
Calls Attention to the Many Reasons Why
We Should Be Thankful.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. l0.-Governor
Warmers Thanksgiving proclamation
is as follows:
"The year now drawing TO close
has marked an advancement i'm mater
ial progress and prosperity of our peO
pie. No calamity has befallen us as "a
state nor has the hand of aflliction been
laid on any community.
Thanksgiving day was established
and observed by people who had far
less to be thankful for than the poor
est of us have today. The debt we owe
the New England pioneers is not to be
forgotten and the observance of this
day will be blessing if it serves no
other purpose than to recall to those
now living the sturdy virtues of those
who laid broad and deep the founda-
tion for the government we all believe
to be the best on earth
Civilization in such country car
ries with il constantly increasing re-
sponsibilities. Problems growing out
of the enormous increase of wealth
confront us as nation and that we
have a fearless president is not the
least of reasons why we should be
thankful.
Now, therefore, by virtue of author
ity vested in me, do hereby designate
and set apart Thursday, Nov. 20, 1906,
as day upon which the people of
Michigan, laying aside their usual avO-
cations, should assemble in their places
of worship and reverently thank God
for the manifold blessings.
After that has been done let our
homes be made places of good cheer
Forgetting the cares and duties of bus
iness life for that day, will make us
better fitted OH the morrow for our al
lOtted tasks.
