GOOD MORNING

The baby lies
With hands outspread,
And yellow rlnglets
Round her head
Curled close, and rosy
Finger tips,
And close shut eyes
And coral lips,
And peach blow cheeks
And rounded wrist,
And dimples where
The fays have kissed a.
Each knuckle coax,
And coax me, till
/ stoop above her,
Willy nil,
And kiss her chin
And yellow hair,
And her pink palms,
And stand and stare
At her until
She seems TO feel
The greatness Of -.
ods My loving steal
From my heart where
| gazing stand,
To her way off -,5
In Sunderland;
For with a start
She's wide awake
And, arms outstretched,
Says, Papa, take!"
And do / take?
| think do!
And snuggle her
Up to me, too!
And kiss her brow
And cheek and chin
And with my kisses
Burrow in
Her neck beneath
Her nearest ear
And kiss her till
Goes wild and coos
And wiggles so
Sometimes / nearly
Let her go;
And then, perched ON
My shoulder high.
She wlggles and
Says, Papa, by!"
And so we tiptoe
Down the stairs
And catch her
Mother unawares.
And she gets snuggled
To the breast
or mamma dear,
And washed and dresseH,
And mounts her high
Chair with delight,
And one more day
Has started right.

WHEN ALL COONs LOOK ALIKE.

A negro executed at Atlanta last
Friday cleared UP a number of crimes
that assisted In bringing about last
fall the riots and massacres In that
city. He confessed to assaults on three
white women, the murder OF a white
farmer and a number Of other and
minor crimes.
However, for one OF the assaults to
which he confessed another negro
identified by the woman as her assail-
ant, Is in the penitentiary under for
ty-year sentence. In another case the
woman identified negro who fled the
state and has not been captured. In
the other case the wrong negro was
identified and the woman changed her
mind, identifying instead the man who
suffered ON the scaffold Friday.
This shows the other side of the sit
uation In the south. call coons look
alike" enough alike for one innocent
negro to be under forty years sentence
and another fugitive. A negroes
word or oath is worth nothing against
the assertion of white man. less than
nothing against the complaint of a
white woman. And here are three
cases where the white woman picked
an innocent man for punishment.

NEFARIoUs WORK CONTINUED.

1t has not been long since the news
papers and campaigners friendly to the
railroad influences in Iowa republican
politics were cautending that the Cum
Minis administration had raised farm
land assessments by a larger increase
than it had raised assessments of rail-
road property The T.-R. then pointed
out the fact that it was the local town
ship assessors who valued farm lands
for tax assessment while the executive
council or Cummins administration as
sessed railroad property direct. To this
the opposition replied that the execu-
tive council had scared the township
assessors out of years growth and
had forced them to assess farm land
high. In many places this reply
passed as argument instead of humor.
Now the returns from the township
assessors for this year indicate anoth-
er general increase in farm land valu-
,ations of 81 to So per acre. There is
no campaign on and no motive for the
Cumimns administration to stand in
with the railroads. so it is strange
that these lands should be boosted for
assessments. Perhaps the township as
SCISSORS have not recovered from the
scare given them by the executive
council before. It is hardly possible
that assessors could have been ir1flu-
enced by any general rise in the actual
market value of farm lands. Iowa
farm lands, Of course, do not rise in
value from year to year as everybody
well knows. 1t is too bad a Cummins
campaign Is not on so we could have
a plausible explanation of this diaboli-
cal business. Our farm owners are
being bankrupted by a raise of 50 per
acre in the assessed valuation of their
farms and Cummins must be doing it.

Another Day Is Another Chance.
There is a world of hope in the new
born day
When the past is dead. and the amber
way
Reaches out to the earnest glance
Another day is another chance.
Let us blot the page where the wrong
has been,
Forgetting the sorrow. and care, ana
It quickens the blood like Kerry
dance
Another day is another chance.
A fig for trials, truce to care;
Tomorrow before US to do and dare;
Hope filings her banner our JOY to en-
nance
Another day is another chance.
Another chance where hope lies dead,
Where honor and all save life have
fed
Is coat of armor. a shield, and a
lance
Another day is another chance.

THE RIGHT BOSS.

The New York World admits that
the legislature Of that state worked I'M
der boss rule during its session, but
denies that Governor Hughes bossed It.
The accusation against the governor of
New York will not lie. What office
holder has been removed to punish an
unfriendly senator?'' inquiries the
World. "What appointment has been
made or promised as payment for a
vote? What bill has been vetoed as
personal rebuke to any legislator?
What bill has been signed as reward
for legislative subserviency to the ex-
ecutive? The same questions might
be asked in Iowa in reply to certain
newspapers and interests that are cry
ing out against the governor of Iowa

L. E. BIRDSEY'S HOUSE BURNED.
 Another bad fire has visited this place. This time it was L. E. Bird sey's house on Peaceable street, which was burned to the ground, last Friday evening, between ' and 8 o'clock. Mir Birdsey purchased his place of Charles w. Weiderstrom last spring and had spent the summer with his family here. About October 1 they closed the house and went to their home in New York. Soon after 2 o'clock, Friday evening, November 15. flames were discovered coming up through the roof by the neighbors. Several saw it about the same time and hastened to the house. John Coley was the first to reach the place and burst in the front door and at the head of the stairs there was mat tress on fire which had been saturated with oil. He quickly threw that out doors but another fire had been started in the attic which those who had gath red worked hard to put out but were unable to. Finding the house could not be saved they began saving the furniture on the first floor and succeed ed in getting out all before they were driven away by the flames, but they were unable to save anything on the second floor. No one had been in the house since it was closed and there seems no doubt by what was seen by those who first reached the fire that it was incendiary. MT Birdsey was ill this place, Saturday, looking after his goods and now hopes to rebuild at once His loss was partly covered by insur- ance. With so many fires right in this locality it would seem as if it were time for the officials of our town to take the matter in charge and if possi- ble find the guilty parties and have them put where they could do no more damage.
 Miss Mabel Taylor of Ridgefield was guest, last week, of Mrs George Hagen in Little Boston.
