THE PRoDleAL,s BROTHER.

Minneapolis Journal Rev. John
Watson admires the boy who stayed at
home and did the chores more than the
prodigal son who came home broken
and repertant. If this were all it
would be possible to admire the, stay
at home youth, but when the records
show that he was monumental pin
head filled with contemplate fear that
he would lose something in the joy
over his poor shattered brothers. re-
turn, it is impossible to get up any sort
of enthusiasm over him. He probably
kept his fathers books and counted
every penny spent in Injuries or rec
reation as something subtracted from
his inheritance. He very likely grudged
his mother a new dress or his father
a new hat because it would come out
of the legacy. He was very likely one
of the fellows who, if he could, would
have worked his parents to deed him
the farm during their life and then
have packed them OFF to the poorhouse.
Such things have been done and the
stay at home fellow is described as just
the kind to find plausible reasons for
an act of that kind. And the father
came out and smoothed him down, re-
assuring him Of the inheritance and
probably threw in the north forty,
which was to have gone to his sister,
to restore peace instead of kicking
him in the amplitude Of his well fed
Pecksniff1an person.

HE CAME BACK DlsGUsTED.

Kansas City Journal:--A. j. Head,
recently of Greneda, Col, is removing
from Colorado to Burl1ngame.
81 got enough of that Western coun-
try in a single year." said Mr.. Head
to an ottawa Republic Reporter 81
went out there. from Lawrence to go
exactly 35 cents profit on my crop last
year."
"The sugar beet proposition. as 1t is
operated in Grenada, and all places
where the business is promoted by
companies, is something to keep away
FROM continued Mr.. Head. Here's
the way it was worked on me, and a
hundred of others In the East. A
sugar company has its agents going
over the country exploiting the won
derful fortunes that are to be made,
telling how the companies will back
YOU by leasing land so that you can
pay OUT Of the crops, and how it will
advance in money to put the crops in,
etc, We'll, 1t does all that; and it only
asks Won for a mortgage on any per
sonal property you may have as secur-
ity. And it will take ror its lease only
'one-ffth' of the crop. Looks fair, but
see: An average crop of beets, in a
good year is ten tons to the acre.
That's what raised. The expense Of
cultivation and harvesting, to say
nothing Of your living expenses. is the
value of eight tons. AS the company
takes two, where are you? had to
have q wagon last year; after it was
paid for | had IS cents left. Labor is
very high. You can't get good white
men at ALL just Mexicans and Indians,
and you have to pay them from 81 to
$3.50 a day."

DREAMS THAT NAV COME TRUE

chicago Tr1bune.-An Iowa paper
makes a glowing forecast of the pos
sfple future of the state under the in.
Iluence OF the denaturated alcohol bill
iowa mas approximately 100000 acres
planted IN corn each year. Each acre
produces not less than ten tones of
corn stock: Each ton of corn stalks
produces 40 pounds of alcohol. The
lotal TOR the state would be II 700 900,
600 pounds, or 1,S44,OOO.O 900 gallons of
aiconol worth 40 cents gallon, and
thls merely as by-product, ?Without
sacrificing any other corn products
Iowa couid run all its factories, all
It's street car and steam car lines heat
the houses of all it's people" and do
many other wonderful things besides
with the alcohol from the corn fields.
Truly, as the Iowa paper says, it makes
one dizzy to think of all this alcohol
and Its effects.
The Fifty-ninth congress did its
best to encourage the raisers of corn.
In its first session it passed law for
the cemoyal of the tax from denatured
alcohol, and at it's second session it
amended this law in those points in
which it seemed faulty. AS soon as
the necessary arrangements farmers
may begin making alcohol either in
dlv1dually or in ton. according
to the capital available and quantity of
alcohol likely to be produced But any
expectations OF immediate results re-
sempllng even in a remote degree
this foreseen by the, Iowa writer can
be termed only an alcoholic dream.
Great changes in the manner of life
OF whole state are slow of realiza-
tlon. In spite of the power running to
waste in the water courses of noun
famous states the relative expensive
coal is still used to a larger extent than
water power to turn wheels in factories
and furnish heat and light for cities.
Hillside farm houses are still heated
by wood and lighted by candles and
kerosene, and draft animals are relied
upon more than electric motors, al.
though electricity would not only be
better but cheaper. The experience of
the mountains will be repeated on the
plains. In the one case the cascades,
in the other corn stalks, will be at
hand year after year for long time
before the will be utilized. Lack of
capital, timidity, ignorance, or other
motives will continue the old order of
things.
Country newspapers cannot do better
than to continue to call the attention
of their readers to the possibilities of
home made alcohol. Great wealth is
in reach of the farmer who is up to
date. Every acre Of land is worth
more than before the free alcohol bill
was passed. The new movement will
be SLOW at best. but those who acceler-
ate it will be public benefactors.

FREAK LEGISLATION.

Keokuk Gate City-The crop of
freak bills introduced in the various
legislatures this year seems rather
more iuxuriant than usual. Up in
Wisconsin measure is before the law
making body requiring that the sheets
on hotel beds shall be nine feet long
and be folded over ths quite They
also must be disinfscteI and changed
every day The measure has been ia.
vorably acted upon by committee.
Another Badger statesman has no
kick against the sheets but his stom-
ach has rebellad a. the eggs with
which he has been served. He likes
Boiled eggs for his breakfast. and he
likes them reasonably fresh. For
weeks. he says, he has been eating
eggs which he believes must have been
laid before the civil war. He has there
fore introduced bill requiring that
all eggs be stamped with the date they
were laid, and providing $50 fine
for each egg not stamped.
An Indiana legislator wants to pro.
hibit chickens and geese from running
through his premises. Another would
prohibit the killing of eagles, of which
there Is not one in the state A bill
under consideration by the Missouri
legislature prohibits swearing under
penalty of fine from so cents to 81
for every "cuss" word uttered The
bill allows person to say darn" it.
Another proposed law in that state
prohibits spendthrifts from making
away with the money they may inher-
it. Still another bill prohibits parlor
matches from the state. The entire
text of bill before the Maine legisla-
ture is as follows: "a dog is do
nestle animal" If this should be-
come law 1t would be necessary for
dog owners to keep their dogs at
home like other domestic animals.

that they never used to think of 10
ing their skulls have changed in shape
as we'll as in quality. They are more
like mems skulls now quite different
from those of the stay-at-home women
OF some years ago, and l regret very
much that / have not a good begin
ing-of-the-century, up-to-date woman's
skull The brain of the woman today
is very different, and would like to
make a study of the brains of just
such women as there are in this room
today"
Womens skulls do change in shape,
it is true; so do mems. 1t is not
necessary to get the skull of clubwom-
en- to prove the point. The public
schools are fairly full of long-headed
or tdolichocephalic," children born Of
short headed parents who came IF
peasant stock in northern Europe
The tendency in immigrant families
is to acquire in the second and third
generations the typical American Gran.
ium. This is the result of food, en-
vironment, education, and of some
thing more subtle than all these
the subconscious imitation of the
American spirit which fuses national
titles in feeling without waiting for
the slower fusion of their blood The
transformation is most rapid in the
cities. 1t is least noted in the country
where the daily use of a foreign ton
que is preserved.
Admitting the change, is not Miss
Fowler wrong in assuming That wom-
ems skulls are more like mems
skulls now" Precisely the opposite
is likely to be true. Sex conscious
ness is much stronger in the club
woman than in the peasant wife, and
1t increases because of the constant
discussion of sex problems The work
of men and women is nearer alike in a
Swiss valley than it is in New York.
In bony structure and bodily appear
ance a savage women usually differs
less from her husband than does the
city women of civilization The tight
ly corseted figure, the indoor life, the
constant preoccupation about clothes
whose proof is attractively displayed
at all women's club meetings the
whole conventional structure of social
life, tend to increase not lessen sex
differentiation. 1t is possible, though
we doubt it, that the brain-cases Of
clubwomen are more like mems" than
were their great-grandmothers The
brains themselves at any rate think
very differently, as by all means they
should, while they are yet in the use
OF their present owners.

BY all rights we should be able to
add to this the news Of the birth Of
the usual two-headed calf on Colonel
Frank o. Lowden's place. We should
also be called upon in day or two to
read in dispatch from Galesburg,
Bloomington or Peoria or Quincy:
News was brought to town yestee.
day Of strange occurrence on the
Widow Daniels place, about four and
half miles south by southwest Of
Cresby's general store. It seems that
the widow has not been feeling very
well all winter, and has, therefore,
been obliged to allow her live stock
to run more or less loose. Last No
vember. when she was forced to taxa
to her bed. she had three Jersey cows,
eight head of sheep, about a dozen
head of hogs and team Of horses.
On visiting her pasture yesterday she
found 1t literally crowded with live
stock, the increase averaging 33 Ia
per cent. OF course, the cattle, sheep,
hogs and horses had access all winter
to the corn cribs. and fed we'll In COM
sequence. This, together with the
mild weather, is believed to have
brought about such happy results to
the widow"
We should much rather read news
of this character than be dependent
upon such news as this from Winsted.
Conn:
Returning from Torrington last
night, William Martinez. a cigarrnaker,
and his wife, were thrown from their
sleigh upon snow bank when their
horses took fright at an approaching
train.
Their spaniel dog, tied in the
sleigh, broke loose and brought the
runaways back to their owners fifteen
minutes later The dog had grabbed
the dangling reins In It's teeth, turned
the horses around, and jumped to the
sleigh seat, where 1t sat with the
reins still in it's teeth when the team
was returned to Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tinez."
In the first place, nearly everything
we hear from the agricultural dis
tricts out our way Is reliable, and In
the second place, 1t is all news Of
kind calculated not only to encourage
the agricultural classes but to inspire
those of us who live in cities to strive
harder than ever to own few acres

Blow ahead; you cannot fuster

Songs of little Robins peeping
And the flutter of the wings!

BILL JAcKsoN's MOTOR CAR.

Bill Jackson had an auto that was
gentle, swift and kind;
A sweeter piece of racing goods
'twould be a task to find.
A little child could drive 1t. It was
loved by one and all.
Until one day Bill fed the thing de.
natured alcohol.
Now, something In that alcohol was
out of whack, guess,
And when Bill grasped the steering
wheel with lover-like caress.
And gently pulled the low speed on,
that auto gave a snort.
And fell to making circles like fizz-
infested sport.
The crowd looked on in wild amaze.
and loudly hollered "whoa!"
AS down the street like forty cats the
car began to 60;
And when Bill turned the squawker
on, all nervous-like and quick.
Instead of sounding "Honk, honk,
honk," the thing went "hic,
hic, hic."
The auto went plumb crazy. It was
dancing Scottish reels.
And Waiting gayly down the street
upon it's two hind wheels.
And when good Deacon Potter acct
dentally smelled It's breath
He went home drunk with whoops OF
JOY and beat his wife to death.
The auto threw its muffler off and ter.
rorized the town,
1t leaned on forty lamp posts till each
one of them was down,
Until at last, with awful leap, it land
ed in a swoon,
It's front wheels through the window
of the "Scalded Cat" saloon.
Bill sadly shut the power off and haul
ed the wreck away,
He got 1t cobbled up at last, but ever
since that day,
He's stuck to common gasoline. With
crss words that appall,
He lows he's had enough of that d.
natured alcohol.
