xELLoeo's FIRST CASE.
Attorney Began Practice on a Suit
for Trespass by a Cow.

Frank B. Kellogg, who Is pounding
away daily at the Standard Oil Co.
IN the United States Court, has met
with a warm and pleasant reception
at the hands of the lawyers Of New
York. Even the fighters who are op-
posing Mr.. Kellogg inch by inch in
the courtroom recognize him as a
good man and fair fighter after the
adjournment for the day.
Mr.. Kellogg was born in Potsdam,
N. Y, go years ago, and after admis-
sion to the bar decided to go west
and grow up with the country. He
found a small town in Minnesota
named Rochester that had no lawyer
and apparently needed one, and there
he hung out his small and modest
shingle. His first case was one of
cow trespass, and so well did he con-
duct 1t that the defendant, who lost,
engaged Mr.. Kellogg for a case of
his own before leaving the court
room.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Kellogg ex-
changed his Rochester shingle for a
big gilt sign in the more promising
city of St. Paul.
From cows to corporations was a
step that came in the practice of
years, and so well did the newer
practice pay that Mr. Kellogg forsook
the other lines and became a spe-
cialty lawyer.

Bean Day and sauerkraut Day.

Two very significant days are on
the calendars of central Iowa, and
the announcement each year of the
dates of Bean Day" and "Sauerkraut
Day. is watched with interest by thou
sands of people who participate in
the festivities incident to these occa.
sions.
Bean Day" came first this year,
falling on Aug IA. In addition to the
piece de resistance on the program
the big dinner-hosts of outdoor
amusements were offered.
"Sauerkraut Day" will be held later
than usual this year, the date named
being Sept 26. This is "the only
day of its kind in the world" and is
celebrated by the use of hundreds Of
quarts Of sauerkraut, served at tables
laid along the principal streets.
Bean Day" is supported by the citi-
zens of Geneva in Franklin County,
and the residents of Ackley in Hardin
County are responsible for "Sauer-
kraut Day."-St. Paul Dispatch.

Military FRAMING In sohoo,s.

Military training for boys in our
public schools should interest not only
our foremost educators, but all who
have the welfare of the Republic at
heart. The standing army of the
United States is SO vastly dlspropor-
tionate to its size. it's population and
Its Importance as a world power that
the nations chief reliance in time Of
war must ever be It's volunteer sol
diery. That the schoolboy of to-day
Is the volunteer of tomorrow was
amply demonstrated during the war
with Spain, when splendid service
was rendered both as officers and in
the ranks, by men who had received
a knowledge Of soldering at some Of
the many educational institutions,
public and private. which include
military training in their curriculum.
In these days military operations
are conducted with such celerity that
there is scarce time to whip an army
of raw recruits into shape to with
stand the trained and seasoned troops
Of, say, an old world power How
much better fitted to uphold the hon.
or of the flag is the man who has had
at least partial military training
than he who comes fresh from the
farm or from civil life without such
knowledge - however enthusiastic,
however patriotic he may be! And
that this training should be begun
when the mind is in It's most receipt
i've stage, as 1t is in youth, seems in
controvertible.-Fred Gilbert Blakes-
lee In October Lippincott's.

Victims Of Opium.

DR.. Jeanselme, one Of the profess
sors at the Paris Faculty of Medi-
cine, states that the opium habit is
much more common among French
navy officers than is generally sup
posed, and he thinks it quite pos
sible that the prevalence of this
curse may explain the numerous dis
asters which have overtaken the
French navy Of late. Dr. Jeanselme
sets the number of opium smokers
in the colonial infantry regiments at
Is per cent, in the foreign legion at
20 per cent and among Europeans in
native regiments at rs per cent He
says that opuim dens abound at Tou-
Ion, Brest, Lorient, Rochefort, Cher
bourg and Paris.

NOT TO BE.

The rose said, LET but this long rain b'
past,
And Shall feel my sweetness in tho
sun,
And pour its fullness into life at last
But when the rain was done.
But when dawn sparkled through un'
clouded air.
She was not there.
The lark said, LET but winter be away
And blossoms come, and light, and
will soar
And lose the earth, and be the voice o.
day;
But when the SHOWS were DER,
But when spring broke in blueness over
head,
The lark was dead.
And myriad roses made the garden glow
And sky-larks caroled all the summer
long
What lack of birds TO sing and flowers to
blow!
Yet ah, lost scent, lost songl
Poor empty rose, poor lark that never
thrilled!

The smeIts Were Biting.

John Quincy Adams of Massachu-
sets, third of that name, who died
about ten years ago, was very fond
of fishing, and not especially fond OF
his legal profession.
One day, the story runs, a case In
which he was counsel was down for
trial in a Massachusetts, court. Mr.
Adams did not make his appearance,
but sent a letter to the judge
That worthy gentleman read it, and
then postponed the case with the an
nouncement:
"Mr. Adams is detained on import
ant business"
It was afterward learned by a col
league of Adams that the letter read
as follows:
Dear Judge: For the sake of old
Izaak Walton, please continue my case
till Friday. The smelts are biting
and | can't leave."-New York Times.

kina of Siam Well Educated.

King Chulalongkorn of Siam is an
autocrat, but he is man Of learning
who has profited by European educa-
tion. He is one of the most enlight-
ened Asiatic rulers. speaks and writes
beth English and French, and has as
his adviser Prof Henry Strobel, who
left the chair of international law at
Harvard University two years ago to
take the post. The king is said to
he the most up-to-date and liberal
monarch in Asia. His second son has
studied tactics in the German army
and another son spent considerable
time with the Russians.

Not So Black as Painted.

In estimating the economic status'
of the crow, 1t must be acknowledg.
ed that he does some damage; but
on the other hand, he should receive
much credit for the insects he de-
stroys. In the more thickly settled
parts Of the country the crow prob
ably does more good than harm, at
least where ordinary precautions are
taken to protect young poultry and
newly planted corn against his dep
relations. If, however, corn is plant
ed with no provision against possible
marauders, II hens and turkeys are
allowed to nest and to roam with
their broods at distance from farm
buildings, losses may be expected.

Collies as Army Scouts.

This years army maneuvers in
Italy are signalized by the introduc.
tion Of the dog as an element In tao
tics. A small group of scouting and
messenger dogs are attached by way
of experiment to the first army
corps, and II the results are deemed
sufficiently good, dogs are likely to
be largely used by the intelligence
department. 1t is worth noting, too
that the dogs selected as pioneers in
this work are Scottish collies.

more ridiculous than any comment Of
ours could make 1t.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-inficted loss of prestige by dem
onstrating thru suits for damages,
that 1t can be more artful In evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of Its defama-
tion, or does 1t hope by starting a
campaign of libel suits to silence the
popular indignation, reproach and re-
sentiment which 1t has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judg-
ment against 1t. That great jury, the
Public, will hardly blame US for not
waiting until we get petit jury in
a court room, before denouncing this
prodigal detractor of institutions
founded and fostered either by indi-
viduals or by the public, itself.
No announcements during our en-
tire business career were ever made
claiming medicinal effects" for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal
effects are results obtained from the
use Of medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and little salt: Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten
percent of New Orleans molasses.
The art Of preparing these simple ele-
ments in a scientific manner to OBJ
tain the best food value and favour,
required some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes
far enough out Of its way to attack
us because our advertising Is "med-
ical," It simply offers a remarkable
exhibition of ignorance. or worse.
We do not claim physiological or

s. ssBOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor Of
q well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also re-
garding suits for libel brought by
Golfers against us for commenting
upon its methods.
These are his sentiments, with
some very emphatic words left out.
"The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage In
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the "Boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans"
successor"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally run against solid
hickory Post" and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune Of
$7B0,000.00."
"Here is a publication which has,
in utmost disregard of the facts,
spread broadcast damaging state
ments about the Religious Press and
others and has suffered those false
statements to go uncontradicted, un-
til, not satisfied after finding the Re-
ligious Press too quiet, and peaceful,
to resent the insults, 1t makes the
mistake of wandering into fresh
field and butts its ratified head
against this Post and all the World
laughs. Even Christians emile, as
the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back dose Of its own medicine"
at Is a mistake to say all the
World laughs. No CHEEKY laugh
comes from Golfers, but 1t cries and
boo hoos like a spanked baby and
wants s750,000.00 to soothe its ten
der, lacerated feelings"
"Thank Heaven 1t has at last
struck q man with "back bone"
enough to call spade "spade" and
who believes in telling the whole
truth without fear or favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless 1t is
on file in our Office and is only one of
a mass of letters and other data,
newspaper comments, etc., denounc-
Ing the "yellow" methods of Golfers.
This volume is so large that a man
could not well go thru 1t under half
q days steady work. The letters
come from various parts of America.
Usually private controversy is
not interesting to the public, but this
is public controversy.
Golfers has been using the "yel-
low" methods to attract attention to
itself, but, jumping in the air, crack
ing heels together and yelling Look
at me" wouldn't suffice, so 1t started
out on @Holier Than Thou" attack
on the Religious Press and on medi-
cines.
We leave It to the public now, as
we did when we first resented Col
lier's attacks, to say whether, In q
craving for sensation and circulation,
its attacks do not amount to a sys-
tematic mercenary bounding. We
likewise leave II to the public to say
whether Golfers, by its own policy
and methods, has not made itself

it is rather the quiet, reSiStleSS growth of public sentiment, inspired by the earnest and peaceful prOpa- ganda of the real reformers, rather the spectacular and undignified an tics of misguided enthusiasts? The pitcnfork and hatchet reformers set themselves squarely across the track of all the great laws of moral evo- lution. An equal amount of energy properly directed, would accomplish infinitely more good and would not bring the thoughtful efforts of those who adopt peaceful methods under the pan of those whom this misdi- dected zeal repels.
 Mrs. Nation is only a type. There have been in all times those who have fought the battle of righteous ness with the wrong weapons.

 We either extolled her conduct in z lavish terms or condeLned her with unnecessary bitterness and ridicule. Neither of these viewpoints is en- tirely just or correct. Mrs. Nation is simply one of the conspicuous current illustrations of people going about the right thing in the wrong way.
 The spectacle of an old woman, most of whose life has been spent in worthily discharging domestic and religious duties, being buffeted from jail to jail over the co"ntry is a pitiable one. Yet this is he ca reer that Mrs. Nation has chosen for herself and insists on pursuing. It is a subject for serious doubt .s to whether she has accor o'shed
