When a man came into the town of

peer behind the veil of the future for
a consideration, a number of people
who had money that no one had had
time to take away from them. seem
to have accepted his claims with con-
ffdent trustfulness. One business man
paid him $500 to secure solution of a
mystery that had proved too deep for
himself a farmer paid $50 for infor-

sack full of ten dollar gold pieces and

ant" 1t is the custom of clairvoyants
to fall into a violent slumber, upon re-
ceipt Of the customary fee, and see
everything that ever happened, all that
happens to be happening then and all
that is going to happen. It was in
this dreamy clairvoyant state that he
looked thru the pockets of those con-

Impromptu Immigration.
cleveland Plain Dealer

\
The fact that many sailors from the
warships of foreign nations deserted
during the sojourn of their vessels at
the jamestown exposition shows how
attractive America appears to the new
conner. The man-o wars men I'M
doubtedly looked upon the trip TO
jamestown as an excellent opportunity
to grasp the advantages of emigration
without the necessity of paying for
steamboat passage. Comparison shows
that the men of European navies are
treated with far less consideration than
American sailors. The wages are
smaller and there are fewer liberties
and amusements. 1t is believed that
the fraternizing of the foreign and
American seamen may have been
largely responsible for the assertions

Industrial savasery Out of Date.
(CIeyeland Plain Dealer.)

Where children can lawfully be sacri-
feed to greed there is sure to be a low
standard of industrial morals. There
is certain to be weak and supine
public opinion In all matters pertaining
to the protection of wage workers.
Their immigration will be scanty and
Of the lowest type. There the condi-
tons of life for wage earners will re-
pei competent and enterprising men.
The time has gone forever when 1t
might be argued with fair show of
reason that industrial savagery was
profitable. The abuse OF child labor
is nothing less or higher.

The japanese, says writer in the

American merchandise simply to oblige

impolite as to say NO" to stranger
who enters his home. When Jap
smiles you may know that he is angry
and that you had better leave him
alone; but when he draws his breath
with kissing sound thru his teeth
you may feel sure that you have con-
WINGED him. When American dollar
watches first came into Japan and
China big demand was instantly cre-
ated. The Japs took one of the watches
to pieces, ran up a factory and cut
the price in two. Moreover, they put
the Chinese, and japanese figures on
the face. American manufacturers did
not want to bother to do this, but when
the Jap did it they had to follow suit.
Then the Japs embossed the Chinese
and Japanese Good Luck" signs on
the backs of the watches, and that lef.
them supreme in the field. The Japan
ese understand the knack of giving
their customers what they want and
they are shrewder In many ways than
their Yankee competitors give them
credit for being.

A very bad accident happened to one
of Hartley's fishermen at Lake Oko-
boj recently, according to the latest
dispatch. Uncle Tom" Griffith was
out along the lake shore scooping the
snow away so that he could dig for
bait when an icicle dropped from a
tree overhead and severely injured his
new straw hat. Uncle Tom" has not
slept in his hammock as yet owing to
the mosquitoes. 1t is said that the lit

balls at them and slipping ice balls

PROSPERITY OR PATRIOTISM?
Davenport Democracy

There never was time when the
army recruiting officers from one side
of the country to the other had so
much difficulty in getting young men
to enlist as just now. Those who serve
out their terms do not re-enter the
army. as is commonly the case. Any
body inclined to work can command
more money than the government is
willing to pay him. When a young
man looks at prosperity and then at
patriotism when there is nothing In
particular to arouse that sentiment.
what is he to do but take the best
that offers?

WHICH ARE YOU?

We recently saw one of our citizens
going home with a small basket OF
fruit A few evenings later we passed
him again and he had small package
OF candy. On both occasions we were
walking with the same gentleman who
remarked to us that the man with the
candy was good fellow. but blew in
all he made so foolishly. We merely
smiled in reply, but could not help, In
our own mind. as we walked along
drawing a contrast between the two
men. One was smoking a cigar that
cost as much as the candy. Burning
into ashes and blowing out into the
air the money the other spent for nick
nacks that brought a smile of happl-
ness to the cheek he once thought 50
rosy, and gladdened eyes that still
sparkled like a thousand diamonds
with their tell-tale love for him: car
rying home, one by one, the sweetest
memories OF life; building evening af-
ter evening an image in little heart
of Home, sweet Home that no time
even into eternity, would destroy.
Nourishing and kindling new love
that would in old age look back to
those happy home comings and bless
his memory as the dearest papa that
ever lived.
But what Of our friend, the critic?
Yes, what OF him? Which of the two
had you rather have been? Which OF
the two are you?
- FARM MACHINERY.
Decorah Republican,
o,,aop re ouric.11f1lra1 machines
is the top buggy. 1t was invented by
Don Cupid, who knew what he was
about when he built it. No farmers
,boysor hired man would be without one
and it is very popular with town and
telephone farmers. When its owner
has persuaded his hearts desire to
take a. seat beside him therein, he will
be driving with one hand before he
has gone a mile, and she is good as
his'n Without it the rural population
of Iowa would fall off faster than It
does. When we get time we shall
write the "Rubiyat of the Top Buggy,
and become the rustic Omar OF the,
slough grass regions.
1t may not be known that to agri-
cultural machinery is due the altitude
of horse prices. Time was when one
horse was enough for any boy; now no
respecting farmers boy is satis-
fed with less than four. If you have
never seen a fifty-pound boy manag-
ing two pairs Of one-ton horses as
gracefully as any fair one of the saw
dust arena ever executed a short
skirted stunt before an admiring null
while behind the boy and
team flashes across the field two-foot
ribbon of freshly turned earth-you
have missed one Of the sights of the
corn belt.
Ali agricultural machinery possesses
one fatal defect. 1t will not stand the
treatment accorded it. 1t gets thru the
working season very nicely, but when
it is stored away on the northwest
forty, with no covering save the pole
star and aurora borealis, 1t fades away
and loses its usefulness like a New
York official before an investigating
committee Because of which fact, for
every car of machinery shipped in two
cars of junk are shipped out. This Pc
culiarity of machinery is hard on the
farmer but it delights the maker and
seller, and the junk man smiles rusty
smile as he rakes in the debris and the
shekelS.
