Keokuk, Oct. 1-Forty thousand
people formed cheering mass 10

morning. At the station. along the

his three hours stay in Iowa there
were dense throngs, delighted to hon.
or the first man of the land and only
sorry that he could not be with them

And the President enjoyed it, too.
He showed his genuine pleasure in a

Need Wise Laws.
Therefore we need wise laws, and
| we need to have them resolutely adj
ministered. We can get such laws and
! such admin 'stration only If the people
are alive to their interests. The other
| day listened to an admirable sermon
by Bishop Johnston of western Texas
His theme was that the vital element
! in Judging any man should be his con-
! duct. and neither his position nor his
pretensions: and. furthermore, that
| freedom could only stay with a peo-
pie which has the habit of self-mas-
terry. AS he said, the price of liberty
is not only eternal vigilance, but
eternal virtue; and may add. eter-
knows that he himself has been able
to use his freedom to advantage only
provided that he could master him
self, that he could control his own
passions and direct his own faculties
Each of you fathers and mothers here
know that If your sons are to dc
we'll IN the world they must know
how to master themselves. Every
man must have master; If he Is not
his own master then somebody else
j will be- This is Just as true of public
life as of private life. II we cannot
master ourselves, control ourselves
then sooner or later we shall have tc
submit to outside control: for there
must be control somewhere
One way Of exercising such con
troll is through the laws Of the land

Penalty of Po1iteness.

The "tradesman" has his troubles as
we'll as his next door neighbOr, the
business man" One day last week
wholesale fish dealer in Fulton market
was approached by. a fashionakly
dressed woman, who, after asking the
price, decided to buy a pound of
smelts. Although it was not custom
airy to cater to retail trade, to be con-
genial he decided to oblige her.
Il would like 20 have them cleaned,
if you please" she said,
The fishman cleaned them.
"Oh, yes" the woman CONSIDERABLY
remarked after looking them over,
"wil you kindly take all the bones
out?"
Certainly" said the man. But he
said things to himself as he went be-
hind the icebox and extracted the
bones.
After fifteen minutes labor he wrap
ped the smelts in a neat parcel, which
he handed the woman.
II am so much obliged to you.' she
said. "You see, my cat absolutely re-
fuses to eat fish if they are bony."
AS the fashionably gowned woman
walked out the fishman said some more
things.-New York Press.

the best cure for the stage fever that /
know of. 1t was lucky that Hermes
was in a good humor last night when l
asked him if I might bring you over"
rs that Hermes? 2" she asked, point
ing to a tall, handsome fellow who
posed in one corner.
That's the man who made the cos
tunes" he laughed. "Hermes is that
little fellow who is all over the place.
He and st. Elmo. the ballet master
that little fellow with the stick-are de-
ing about half the work"
Beth glanced with new interest at
the flying figure She had seen him on
the stage dressed in mystic robes and
with al OF the advantages Of scenic en-
vironment. lie looked vastly different
as. he few about the place ia an Old
pair Of trousers and a tarered flannel
shirt.
Even when the players who had slip
ped out Of the room began to come
back in gaudy costumes, the illusion
was not restored, for the nervous little
ballet master kept jumping into the
space outlined by chairs to represent
the stage and, roughly throwing some
one aside, took her place to show what
he wanted done.
Not until they came to the trick to
which the pantomime worked up did
Beth regain her interest. The beautiful
white girl was supposed to be thrown
into a lions den, but an Indian mai
den, by virtue of a talisman, took the
place of the Infatuated beast.
The others crowded about the cage
to see the trick worked, and Tom drag
ged Beth over, with a whispered, You
mustn't tell the trick to any one"
She nodded assent with q delightful
feeling of mystery and watched with
interest the elaborate working of
trick that seemed simple enough from
the audience.
Half a dozen times the trick was
tried before Hermes Strengthened up
with an "All right! Dress for the next
act" and the crowd Of fanrasticallv
dressed players rushed Off 70 the
room.
Tom led Beth back TO the t-.
form that formed her seat of vaa.

Beth looked curiously about the hall.
Behind the scenes had always been a
domain of fairylanG to her. The
thought that she was to witness a re-
hearsal and "a. dress rehearsal at that,
overpowered her.
1t was not at all as she had pictured
it. The long, low ceilinged hall was
very unlike the stage, and the mass of
properties and scenery thrown about ID
apparent chaos bewildered her. a
huge bowlder lay against an Italian
fountain, and flower beds. stacked one
above the other, looked very unlike the
flower beds she knew.
Over in one corner a group Of meL
were pulling and hauling at girl
dressed as an Indian. In the center
of the hall half a dozen men were
struggling through some unfamiliar
music, and not far away heavily
built man was deliberately Sitting a
new leather coat into shreds and rub
bling it on the dirty floor TO take off its
aspect of newness.
Other girls were going through dane
ing steps at the behest of a stocky lit
tie man, who beat time with a thick
pole he carried when he was not using
the stick to threaten some unruly girl.
And over all presided a thin, nervous
looking man, who seemed TO have the
faculty of being In three places at
once.
Tom Seaton detached himself from
the group about a cage in one corner
and came toward her. 1T doesn't
seem much when you see it close to,
does it," he laughed.
1T is a little disappointing" she ad-
mitted, ''but I find it very interesting"
''They are going to dress soon.' he
said carelessly, land then run through
the pantomime. It's q pity that they
cannot get the hall upstairs. where
they can get the scenery up. There's
wedding or something going on up
there"
TT was awfully good of you to bring
me-" she said impulsively.
Its good for you to come" he laugh
