the minds of all fair minded persons

In part
The inspection and examination
of autographic letters written by her
show inherent evidences of mental
vigor Her mode of expression is
logical and connected. Not only are
their contents responsive, but they
show concentration and the exercise
of a normal memory.
"She showed an ability to direct
and criticise others as to her affairs
and In everything a normal amount
of will power which was exercised
In a proper direction. She possessed
perfect knowledge of her surround
ings and the duties and obligations Of
those who were serving her.
There was no tremor, no affect

amount OF slight deafness l found
nothing the matter with her."

FARMER BEN'S
COL UlMN|

Farmer Ben has ben mit;ly interested
in the teachin' the boys up to Austin
somethin' practical in their school
work. I'm goin' to get up and see that
manual trainin' just as soon as my
rheumatic will allow. The boys are
goin' to keep more interested and stick
to school longer and they're goin' to
keep more interested and they're goln'
to be able to do somethin' when they
quit. No wonder that boys find the
old fashioned grind SO wearisome that
today in the Minnesota high schools
there are only half as many boys as
girls studyin'. But can't see why
the girls shouldn't come in for an
equal share of practical teachin' in
connection. They could be taught all
about the principles Of home maxim
and be awfully interested. If they
had lessons in sewin' and bakin' and
color schemes and room plans and
maxim dresses and all that l tell you
they'd cry when vacation and Satur-
day came. i see they're beginnin' to
put in these courses of domestic
science in the universities and the
most progressive high schools and |
believe it's comm soon when such will
be in every we'll regulated teachin'.
Some of the boys say that when | get
on hobby l never can get off and !
guess there's somethin' IN it as the
tramp said of his hat. But [ can't see
why the big majority Of congressman
shouldn't be in favor of tariff revision
and a fair show for the masses. Take
the tariff on steel for example and [
reckon that the steel trust is warpin'
it to every consumer and user of a steel
or iron implement numerically because
the tariff is SO high the trust can poke
up prices to outrageous profits and for
eigners can't ship in goods at lower
fggers. That's what's the matter with
our ship buildin'. If the tariff was off
on steel so that our builders could com
pete with foreign shipyards we could
build 'em without subsidy but by the
time all the trusts that are protected
overmuch get whack al the builder
the profits of maxim ships hav gone
glimmerin'. Jim Hill says he's done
under present conditions and he made
good fair try at it. I'd like to see a
fair protection to every industry and
nothin' more. Then all would hav a
square deal. ,.&

A Sensible Beqlluest.

pitiful story of Evelyn Thaw, and re-.
membering his own dead daughter, has
given $25O.OOO to form trust fund de-
voted to the aid of young girls who
have their own way to make in this

done better than Carnegie, whose librar-
les mark the distance across q conti-
nent; better than Rockefeller, whose
millions 60 to the Universities; for to
stand between the helpless and inno-
cent and starvation and shame is the
essence of true cha1ity. If he saves
one girl from the fate, that TO the
shame of the present day, is tacitly
permitted to pursue the defenseless
and unprotected he has done more
than the oil king and iron master; for
what are libraries or universities to the
girl who loses her own soul? Marshall

Forester Pinchot on Floods.

Clifford Pincho+, chief of the forest
service, in an interview at Washington,
said that the great flood which had Wis
tied the upper Ohio valley was due, pri-
marily, to the cutting away of the for
ests on the water sheds in the heart OF
the Allegheny mountains. Originally
these mountain slopes contained fine
hard wood, hemlock, and pine forests,
which together with the underground,
held back the water of rains and melt
ing snow, so that dangerous floods sell
dom occurred. The wholesale cutting
of this timber has so denuded the hills
that when heavy rain co-incident with
snow thaws occurred, quantities of
water were precipitated into the
streams, and these, emptying into the
rivers, caused the disastrous floods
which in recent years have done SO
much damage to property and caused
so much loss of life. The remedy, in
his opinion, would be in the replant.
ing of forests and their conservation on
a scientific plan of forest culture.

The New Railroad Coming.

The s'Wapsie Valley" railroad pro-
ject is not dead, according to reports
from Waterloo. Towns in the south
east of here have been assured that the
road will be built this season. We
hope that Stacyville people will not be
asleep to the fact that we must get this
line if it is possible to have it. It may
come here without aid but we should
be ready to give any reasonable sum to
insure its building in here. Meyer and
Johnsburg will be ready to donate
literally to secure the road. The ques-
ton is whether we had rather these
towns should get the road or that
stacyville put up something to secure
it. Which would be more beneficial to
the town? -Stacyville Herald.
