The Legislature in its last session
increased the appropriation for far
mers' Institutes from $4,000 to
$4,000. This will give better insti-
tutes than heretofore even, although
those up to date have been very
good and very helpful.

Clipping OFF Corners From Two Dol

There Is no place in the world, more
productive OF fads among hotel pa
irons than Atlantic City. N. j., says
the New York World. The latest fad
is clipping the corners off two dollar
bills. 1t was started by Mrs. /. M.
Higbee, pretty young matron of Lew
isburg, Pa. while at the Hotel Wind
sor. She declares that II one will clip
the corners from the two dollar bills
the owner of them will never know
what misfortune Is.
Every two dollar bill that has recent
ly been passed over the counters Of
the boardwalk shops or the desk OF
the Windsor has been minus Its corr
ners.
But what do you do with the cor
ners after you clip them?' young
man asked Mrs. Higbee.
'Do?" echoed Mrs. iiigbee. why,
we place them in little saucer, set
fire to them. and then we use the
ashes"
What do you use the ashes for?"
demanded the young man.
I'VE shake little in the toe of each

Men say when they are ready they
will make amends; but they say this
stupidity. if not out of wiAful false
hood The man who murders ;hu-
man soul can never make amends. He
may save many, but power to resur-
rect the dead is not his.
It is very great sin for men to
excuse themselves for the time and say
that by and by they will bring them
selves to the Lords service What is
the wife to think Of the husband who
will. come to her when he has no
place else to go, when the fires of his
youth are dead, and when his con-
Germ for himself is related to gruels
and hot water bags? There are many
such wives, Inundated in their own
eyes and carrying only in the sight of
God, the heaviest burden Of woman
hood.
And yet that is the way men say,
when they are ready, they will be
good toward God, bringing to him
their weakness and not their strength,
and seeking to buoy their neglected
souls with the thought that by the
aid of his grace and mercy there will
be passage over the dark river and
up to the gates Of glory in an invalid
chair.
Repentance and service unfit for
human life can claim no place of
honor in the sight of one who know
eth the hearts Of men altogether.

Representative Miller, Of Bremer,
democratic state chairman, is cutting
considerable figure before the legisla-
ture and the state. His latest move
inS the political peanut business was
an attack on the soldiers who served
on the soldiers monument commissions
to erect memorials to the Iowa dead,
who fell on southern battlefieldsr in
which he. included the governor and
sneered at the veterans of the civil war.
Perhaps it is to his credit that he apol-
ogized to the house after fashion. HIS
action brought from the governor a
protest against the insult to the Iowa
veterans that stung Miller into a re-
traction of his apology. He is now
where he was when he took the flyer
In peanuts, in the position of gratui-
tiously Offering insult to broader and
better men than himself
Men like Miller always recall to the
mind Of this editor a boyhood inter-
view with Fred Douglas ana an axiom
uttered by that negro, before Booker
4. Washington, the greatest of his
race. 1t was in our own home. Said
the boy, son Of federal soldier. and
grandson Of a conductor ion the sun-

and Douglas replied: my boy, motor,

life at this season, of the year is the

adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough

THE PANIC BoGY.

y W y
i James ]. Hill, the giant of the north
west, says the tide OF prosperity is
turning and that there are indications
of significant recession Of business.
Why this gloominess Hill leaves
the public to make It's own guess. He
lis easily imagined significantly nodding
his massive head in the direction Of
prevalent legislative tendencies. With
this hint the public is expected to ar
rive at a correct conclusion.
Others are more frank and outspok-
en- about 1t. For example, A.. B.
Stickney of the Great Western, q GU
rious figure, by the way, in this COM
pany, declares pointblank, without the
least effort at subtlety or ambush,
Hard times ahead if the Legislatures
OF the various states do not stop .tink-
ering with things which are not fit
subjects for legislation THE present
railroad batting" he predicts. sis
bound to lead to disaster to the coun-
try at large if it is not checked
Thus the public is relieved of all
mental effort The problem is handed
out with the solution diagrammed in
large, bold lines.
Shall we say that there is con-
spfracy? Shall it be charged that Hill,
Stickney, Hartman and others have
entered into compact to frighterl the
public and thus bring about calling
off of the dogs Of legislation? Should
the grand jury take the matter up and
sift it with view to prosecutions for
treason and conspiracy in case of suf-
ficient encouragement in the ex parte
evidence? Is it not a dangerous thing
for these great leaders in the world Of
transportation and finance to be going
up and down the land crying in uni,
son, Hard times!' Hard times!n'--
is this not liable to disturb confidence
and start the country in the direction
of the very catastrophe sought to be
averted? Nothing else IS quite so po-
tent as bringer-on of panic as the
cry of "Fire!" Should something be
done to restrain Hill, Stickney ct al?
It would seem that it would be
good thing If they could be restrained.
But is this not the remaining recourse
of men already much hunted and much
restrained? We have told the rail-
roads that they must quit issuing
passes, with all that that means. and
that they must quit lobbying. How
then are they to reach legislators?
We have told them that they must
take their case before the people; and
now they will tell US that that is just
what they are doing when they go into
the forum and erect this hard times
bogy. Then, where is the refuge? 1t
must be in the good. sense Of the peo-
