Mather and cows that gave bloody
milk! The loes Moines Capital is
witch doctor!
Uncle George Perkins, long ago In his
Sioux City Journal, came crying like a
man in the wilderness against the
chautauqua. He likened it even unto
circus. possibly misled by the fact
that both are largely attended. 1T grew
worse instead of better last summer,
for it's heathenish rites and barbarous
lamentations interfered with our Uncle
Georges plans for occupying a padded
and much coveted seat in the state
capitol. 1t reached the worst stage
of a. virulent type when Cummins be-
gan to receive numerous and profitable
offers from chautauqua mana gements
over the United States and decided to
accept some of them. 1t needed but
this. 1t is thing accurst. A has the
chautauqua.
All this does not hurt chautauquas
anywhere. Men everywhere recognize
these gatherings as uplifting, educa-
tive and helpful The chautauqua has
no enemies except standpat politicians, 4
saloonists ard the few others, with
whose graft or business it interferes.
Some faults there are in the chautau-
qua but these are such as may be
easily amended by experience. It has
come to stay because it is enllghtening
and elevatins. That it brings men to
think and consider and vote accord
ing to conviction instead Of command
may be crime in the eyes Of a certain
class of men and newspapers 1t is
one of its chief recommendations to
the public.

THAT MAN MILLER.
(Grundy Republican.).

That man Miller has again broken
loose in the house of representatives.
This time he is against charging the
state fair grounds. Miller is chronic
kicker. We have seen him in differ
ent editorial association meetings and
everytime he took some position on
the topic under discussion to make
himself conspicuous-and ridiculous
In the editorial meetings they set
down on him. And after a few more
breaks that is what they will do to
him down at Des iMoines. 1T takes
mighty small matter to puncture Mil
ler's bag of wind.

glance over the editorial page of any

person that the chautauqua is the di-

GHOSTS PLAY MANY FRANKS.
Grab Rope from Bellrinser ane Cut
Down Trees.

Ghostly happenings have disturbed
the town of kirkwail. the capital of
the county of Orkney. On Wednes-
day night. says the London Daily Mail.
the wife OF the bellringer went TO st.
Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew
at eight o'clock. This is an ancient
custom still observed in the burgh.
The bell had been tolled for less than
a minute. when. it is alleged. a figure
suddenly appeared at the woman's
side, snatched her hands from the
rope and as mysteriously disappeared.
Another morning 20 trees which
few years ago were planted in
front of the cathedral were found to
have been cut down. The night was
a calm one. with brilliant moonlight.
and the trees were standing at one
o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds of windows have an out
look on the spot. and many people who
were still astir at three o'clock in
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The
police are bafiied.

does it mean only that the farmer. the
mechanic, the doctor, the preacher,
the editor must spend their money at

REASON FOR ALL THINGS.
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Orjoin in Wisdom

IL you are patient enough ito ferret
1t out you will find that there is rea-
son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have. for every queer thing we dc.
Take. for example the wearing of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maline. crepe and
lace? 1t is a custom handed down to
us from the Romans. who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss of
dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear of hair on their
heads. but of course 1t was most un-
attractive for women. No one, not
even Roman matron, liked to be
seen bald-headed, so the women of
the Tiber devised little cap to hide
their badness, and thus the custom
has come down to us, even though
heads are no longer shaved as a sign
of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago, when toll
ing was first established, the people
thought that the sound of the bells
frightened away evil spirits who how
cred near the dead.
Why do men, and women, too, wear
bows on the left side of their hats?
The reason Is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
of hats of to-day was first introduced
1t was ornamented with a ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends on the left side, reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
sort of anchor. or safety line. and
were put there expressly to be seized
when sudden gust of wind threaten
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because, as
general thing, the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were knotted in a
fetching bow with flowing ends, and
then they were cut of quite close to
the hat, SO that they form very
small and stiff bow knot.
1t is always the custom to throw old
shoes after a bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were in the habit of using their slip
pers to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper is not really
Intended for the bride. but for the

or whoever II may be, that intends to
erect a new building they should buy
the material for that building at
home of their neighbor, Mr.. Building
Material Man.
And let us speak a word for Mr..
Printer Man also. He is a part OF
this community; he contributes to its
prosperity; he advertises 1t, and he is
entitled to his place in the circle
through which the community's dol
lars are to circulate. When you, Mr..
Merchant, want printing of any kind,
give the job to the home printer.
The dollar that you spend with him
he will again spend with you. and
both will make a profit on 1t. 1t is
but fair that he have this, his legiti-
mate portion of the home trade. He
is as much part of the community
as yourself, and as much entitled to
your support as you are entitled to
the support of the farmer. the me-
chanic, the preacher, the doctor.
The battle against the mail-order
octupus can never be successful
one unless all interests are actively
cessful SO long as the merchant wants
1t preached but does not want to prac-
tice it himself. The merchant who
sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patronize his
| brother merchants, who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
ing his own household supplies sup
plies that are not carried on his own
shelves. of the city merchants, is not
entitled to the support of the com
munity. Such merchant wants to
preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the communlty's
dollars just what he condemns in
others-send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt the
community for selfish interests.
There are few, II any, such mer-
chants as this in this or other com
munities, but II there are any here 1t
is not for their benefit that this pa
per is preaching home trade to its
readers.
We hear much of the strength of
trusts and combinations. In what
does their strength lie? To large
extent in the fact that they control
the trade in the commodities in which
they are dealing. They make every
dollar they spend an interest earn
ing dollar. Let us form a little trust
of our own. Let all of us, merchant,
| farmer. doctor, mechanic, preacher,
editor, spend our dollars at home,
keep them at home. and we have or
| ganized trust of our own that will
bring to each of us our share OF earn
lngs on the capital invested.
This is not hard problem to figure
ut for ourselves. The farmer, let
