Silent Smiths Kindness.

SILENT Smith, said a New York
broker. was an eccentric man. but in
many ways a kind one To his friends
and employees he was exceedingly kind
once, indeed, his kindness saved lad
years ago, employed a young man in
CONFIDENTIAL capacity. Another empioye
came to him one day and told him he
had better look out for the young man,
as he was living beyond his means.
Mr. Smith frowned.
OF living beyond his means, is he? he
said. Dear me, that won't do. Send him
here to me at once. I'll have to raise
his salary"

TAKE CARE OF THE TIMBER.
The strong doubts as to the utility or
the steel tie which are manufactured by
the railroad companies, though they
NAV be overcome by further tests, are
another argument in favor OF the con-
seryation and enlargement OF our for
ests. The supply Of timber suitable for
ties is almost exhausted, and the de-
fects of the metallic substitute make
tree culture more necessary than ever
In many other lines, too, our forest sup
niles need replenishment. The federal
government is urging greater care OF
timber areas, and both the states and
rrivate enterprise should help along the

Alexander Trinkle died at his home
in Lake View, Sunday evening at
nine O'Clock December, 23rd 1906. af-
ter an illness of two weeks duration.
His death was not altog ether unexpect-
ed. But little hope CT his recovery
was given out by his physician. nurse
and friends after he took to his bed.
The ailment which was his chief
affection was cirrhosis of the liver or
hardening of that organ. Had he liv-
ed till April 14th 1907. his years could
be counted as four score and three
more than the allotted years of man
in this vale of tears. A Trinkle was
born in Crawford county. Indiana.
April ID. 1924. He was a son of
Adam Trinkle. native of Germany
and his mother was OF Irish birth.
They moved to Clay county, Illinois
where his father and mother both
died. They had reared family of
ten children. three boys and seven
girls. Deceased spent the first wears
of his life in his native state. moving
to Clay county. Illinois. with his par
ents when quite lad. 1t was here
that he first met Miss Margaret Ri
ley. a native of Wayne county. IL
linois. to whom he was united in mar
riage, when "a years old. To this
union four children were born. three
daughters and one son. The son died
in infancy and two of the daughters
died aged, six and seventeen. Mrs.
j. w. Maynard of Lake View being
his only surviving child. Deceased
moved to Iowa in 1866 settling in
Jackson township. Crawford county,
when that township contained only
seven voters and there was not a
house between his place and Deloit.
He erected the first log cabin in that
section and saw real pioneer life.
When the C. & N. w. Railroad was
built through Crawford county and
the towns of West Side and Vail
were laid out he engaged in the stock
buying business and shipped the first
car load of stock from those stations.
His excellent judgment made him a
very successful buyer and his honesty
made him friends and won for him
popularity. which resulted in de-
mand for him to serve the public as
member of the county board. and he
was elected county supervisor. Mr..
Trinkle Joined the Masonic Lodge at
Grant City. when the lodge was the
only one in this part of the state.
Later when a lodge was organized at
Denison he became a member there
and VIXEN he moved to Lake View
twelve years ago he became MEM
Der here. His life in Lake View was
that of retirement. having sufficien-
cy of worlds goods for his wants.
Funeral services were held Christmas
day at 2 P. M. in the Masonic lodge
room. which was attended~by Masons
from Wall Lake. Vail. West Side and

years. Besides daughter. Mrs. j.

EGG MEETING.

The merchants of Charter Oak got
together yesterday to discuss the new
pure food law as it affects them in
their butter and egg trade. The
question was simply what to do to
comply with the law, as they are
liable for buying as much as the other
fellow is for selling. After discuss
ing the pros and cons Of the deal it
was decided best for each house to
work independent of the others. but
for all to candle their eggs as they
are taken in and not accept any that
are not all right. Hereafter all the
eggs will be candled before they are
bought by our people. That everyone
may know of this, they have caused
the following notice to be printed in
German and English and posted in the
town:
To all sellers of Eggs and Butter
as to compliance with the national
pure food law: All eggs hereafter
will be candled at time of purchase
by the undersigned. Also you are
required to state at time of sale if
butter is colored.

The question was not SO much for
concerted action as to know what
must be done to comply with the law,
which provides a fine of $50. for the
sale or purchase of impure foodstuffs.

natural philosophy. an assistant
named Day, who took his lectures for
him in his absence. When the pro
fessor returned the students would
listen eagerly to him, and for the first
ten minutes or 80 he spoke clearly
and in~telligently to all. BY and by,
however, some new idea would sug-
gest itself, and he would follow 1t out
in his lecture. getting more and more
beyond the depth of his hearers. until
at last not M Of them could under
stand him. On one occasion a student
remarked: Work while it is yet

The West Australian state govern
ment.s experiment In liquor business
control 1t the mining center Of Gwalia
has managed 10 live through criticism.
and now appears to Be . firmly estab-
lished Institution.
Within the last few days tho new

with first hand testimony. He had

at Gwalia, and has nov told . public

vailing conditions, says q Melbourne
letter to the London Chronicle.
Se4ator Pearce found that the man
ager of the hotel was paid . good sal
airy and had NO interest in adulterat-
ing drink or trading during prohibited
hours. The hotel was strictly for
| public convenience. and there was NO
| more incentive to make men drink
| beer than there was for . station mas
ter at q railway station to sell tickets.
The result was that there was no sign
Of drunkenness about the. town.
When q man was disposed to drink
more than he could afford or was good
for him there was machinery for exer-
cising control rel him. All that had
to be done was for the mans wife or
relative to speak to the manager Of
the hotel, and then the barman re
ceived instructions that he was to be
served with only two long beers z
day-one when going IN to his mining
shift and one coming Of. The min
ers called this being placed under the
Dog act" No one, however. outside
the complainant, the manager. or the
barman need be informed as to Wit

The Gwalia State hotel, after pay
