The Passing of a Notable Figure

There has been mourning for Mr.. Cas-
satt, and with abundant reason. The
late president of the Pennsylvania Rail
road was noble and engaging figure of
man. He loved to work, he loved to
play, and he loved to speak the truth
and do it. He had great abilities and
charming amenities. 1t warns the heart
to dwell upon his qualities and his
career. He was a sportsman who loved
horses and bred them; a general who
planned great campaigns; an admins
traitor, wise in ordering the concerns of
one of the great MISUNDERSTANDING the
greatest-of the world But the best of
him was the combination he presented of
aggressive ability with aggressive Integ-
rity. Henot only set out to do right him
self, but to make the Pennsylvania Rail-
road do right. To make agreat railroad
do right is large contract, and it has
been particularly large contract during
the last fifteen years. That Mr.. Cassatt
succeeded perfectly with it is not prob
able-and, indeed, some rascalities that
were discovered in connection with his
road are known to have caused him
great distress. But he did stand out, a
splendid figure, for honesty in business
and honor between men. When he came
out of partial retirement, seven years
ago, and abandoned ease and amuse-
ments to be the head of the Pennsylvania
road, what he really did was to enter
the service of the public. He was a great
public servant, faithful, responsible, and
true to the greater master, the people of
the United States, as we'll as to the stock
holders of his road Harpers Weekly

Oct. 2. - A small boy and a
match caused a destructive blaze
Saturday evening on the ranch of
Adam Dittemore one mile east of
Eastonville. A son of Mr.. Ditte-
more lit a match near a straw
stack in the corral. The wind
carried the burning match into
the big pile of new straw which
was entirely consumed together
with about 80 loads of hay, barn,
cattle sheds, corrals and SO BUSH
els of grain. The stock in the
barn and corrals was gotten out
in safety. The loss will amount
to four or five hundred dollars,
and was partly covered by insur-
ance of 5000. The loss falls quite
heavily on Mr.. Dittemore, wiping
out most of the seasons profit on
his crop.

Random Thoughts
THEN AND NOW.

Nothing is as it was in those
good old days" Then boy was
a boy; he wore overalls and was
always dressed for work. He
had a half days work to do be-
fore going to school and another
after his return, and you could
kick him ten feet and he would
bound back, says the Britt Qowa)
Tribune. Now a boy is kid"
When he gets ready to go to
school he can't bring in a pail of
water for fear of spelling his
clothes. If he gets home before
the evening meal is done, some
thing is wrong, and if you keep
HIM at home after 8 o'clock pm.
you will require a gatling gun.
Then the clothing was all made
at home and the only way you
could tell which was front or rear
was to watch the forepiece of the
cap. The clothing was so loose
that he could turn around in it
after it was on and thus fool his
best friends. Our sisters worked
then and helped to cook and wash
and mend and all the other work.
Nsg* they have good luck if they
sgxe their duds on in time to eat
breakfast and go to school. When
the preacher came" the boys
and girls were expected to sit up
straight as cob and speak when
they were spoken to. Now they
are brought to the front and put
through the PAGES. The girl must
knock few airs out of the Or
gan or piano and the boy must
speak his piece" and look like a
sick monkey begging for raisins.
"E very thing is progressive.
They used to get married for So
and begin keeping house for $50.
The bride made her own clothes
and the groom's S mother made his.
One suit lasted a year for good"
and two more for every day.
They rocked the baby to sleep in
'saptrough" and had chunk
of salt pork for dessert. The
whole community could work six
teen hours and then go to a shin
dig and old and young dance
till daylight. They had no brain
storms, "heart-failures" or "ap-
pendicitis. " Brainstorms were
cured with a water elm club,
heart-failures were called fits"
and appendicitis was called belly
ache. They rolled the patient on
barrel or rubbed him with hot
brick, and no one knew that he
had a vernuform doficker that
was liable to get full of cherry
stones or ground-cherry seeds.
We used to eat soup and have
sass" of all kinds. Now we eat
fruit salad and consomme and
have biscuit made with baking
powder that look as though some
one had set on 'em; we had bread
made with rising" that smelled
like glue factory when it was
rising, but tasted better than any
thing made from xxx roller pro-
cess flour ground into nothing but
dust. One suspender was enough
for any boy and if the girls chewed
gum they had to climb a tama-
rack tree and dig it out with
screw driver. Progress doesn't
always mean betterment, for our
old pioneers were as happy as any
people on earth, and they needed
not one quarter of the luxuries
