The Soleil Paris) asks who are the
real criminals Of French society at the
present moment, and replies, the clever
men who furnish France with ideas
the pedagogs who teach French chill
dren. This is spoken apropos Of the
remark of an anarchistic workingman
who recently appeared before the court
Of assizes. He was ignorant, but anX-
ious to learn, we are told, and when
charged by the president with advocat-
ing crime, murder, pillage, and class
hatred, he replied: Il have learned to
understand the history of France from
the books which lay teachers have
placed in the hands of my daughter"
On this, Mr.. Ernest Renauld editor Of
the Soleil, comments by giving de-
plorable picture Of the present condi-
tons of France from his point of view,
and he remarks:
1T is thence that this illiterate
workingman derived his knowledge of
morality and history; it is thence,
namely, from the books Of a school
without God and without country, that
the brain of semicivilized man drew
its Gripping and perverting inspira-
ton. It is under such direction that
he learned to deny, to blaspheme, and
to hate. The idea which these lessons
gave to him and to so many others

duced to materialistic formulas, and
society presented as consisting merely

DRAINAGE AND DAIRyING.

| Not Very many years ago a large
part of northern and north central
Iowa counties could have been sold as
swamp land. A considerable amount
was thus disposed of. Sections of
Franklin, Wright and Hancock coun-
ties where good corn grows nowadays,
were covered With water, most or all
the year round. Many big pickerel
has been speared or shared or knocked
on the head thru the ice on the site Of
corn fields that produce their fifty
bushels per acre. Then the best land
in these counties sold at $3.50 to $40
an acre. Now we see by the local pa
per that the odd Jones place, six
miles southeast Of town, was sold to
Il Mr.. Brown from Illinois, for 500 an
acre" and are incidentally informed
'the place has been thoroughly tiled
within the past few years"
That is what drainage is doing for
northern Iowa. How rapidly 1t is be-
ing tiled out" the following extracts
show The Bows Advocate says:
The season just past has been far
more successful and more was done
than in any year since the factory was
erected. The factory has employed
an average of thirty men this season
at an average wage of $3.50 per day.
The total output of tile for the sea-
son has been approximately 100000
tile in the various sizes used and of
this amount $50 carloads have been
shipped out of town. Tae approxi-
mate value of the past seasons out
put would be S5S,500 at the factory.
The Buffalo Center Tribune has the
following:
Manager e. D. Buchanan, of the
Buffalo Center Tile Company, informs
us that there has been 1855 tile sold
and hauled away from the factory so
far this year as follows: Four inch,
694: seven-inch, CLIO; eight-inch A.
622. Besides this amount the company
has over $4,000 tile now on hand in
the yards.
The lowlands of Iowa are of its best.
They need drainage to be all available
every year for corn. But why corn?
When the farmers of the lower lands
have discovered the possibilities of
dairying as well as of drainage, the To-
cal papers will tell story like this:
"The splendid dairy farm Of Halver
Jensen was sold yesterday to Swan
Miller for 5000 an acre. It is supplied
with %M7s etc, and is one of the best
farms in the county,"

demanded that each of the banks pay

also that he should have gold. He

banker: "Now, Mr.. Banker, 1 have
heard of this panic and that you are

to say that if 1 draw a check for my

old Of his eightieth birthday, sending

at the doorway of new life looking
backward upon another all but

from letter written by the ex-gover-
mr. to the Anes Intelligencer, that
voices most that man hopes to feel
4 when he prepares to wrap the drapery
of his couch about him at the end OF
earthly existence. It is the contem-
plative language of a wise, 1ud1c1ous
and kindly man who thanks God and
man for all he has enjoyed and who
bears his losses with wisdom and for
titude.
If I could take out Of my life the
great sorrows that have come into 1t,
in parting with loved ones immeasur-
ably dearer to me than the life a
kind Providence has generously
spared, my eightieth birthday would be
as bright and happy as any that have
gone before, for it would be crowned
with the accumulated blessings Of all
the years have passed.
From the earliest period Of my
childhood that can recall, the paths

come unasked to me; there has been

long and fortunate existence.
If, when the curtain Is ready to fall
and time with me is to be no more,
can feel that no act of my own has
lessened the esteem Of those who have
helped so much to make that life what
It has been to me, and know that crit

the credit of having discharged my
duties here as my Heavenly Father
has given me to understand them, the
one most earnest wish of my closing
years will be fully gratified.
Here is the voice Of the modern
philosopher who looks on life as a
splendid privilege and sees death not
as slave bringing hemlock juices
but as an angel bearing a new gift of
a new life There is no hysteria Of
failure in the message, no waiiing at
the conditions that surround and
make up existence, no fear of the fu
ture. There is regret but It is the
manly sorrow that those he loved
might not have lived with him ana
beyond him Boies looks beyond the
