Who Livsth Best.

(Nancy Byrd Turner In the Youths
Companion.)
y He liveth best who liveth patiently:
Who bides his joy and takes his bitter
ness,
And scans each hour with willing
eyes to see
lf he must strive or serve or bear or
s4 bless
Ready, Whichever it be.
Asho sows his precious seed with care
full hand
And lays the dreary soil above, and
leaves
The buried hoard, knowing his soul has
planned
Some promised day to walk fruitful
land,
Bearing his garnered sheaves.
4 Who dreams his dream, and brings 1t
work and prayer,
To find 1t at the last perfect thing
Or, should it fade for all his watchful
care,
Grows strong in weaving to the end.
and there
Strong In ,relinquishing.
who lights his star OF hope with
faiths own fire,
Sure of his beacon, tho 1t hangs so
far:
Who lets no storm cloud dim his bright
desire,
Yet, If it fail his Armament, looks high
49, Md N q mas annther star
Who meets the faithful dawn with
faithful feet,
unburdened Of his Yesterday and
ais clad
For his Today; who smiles again to
greet
The nearing night-whatever his to
steadfast and true and glad.
Who gives his trust to God, and for the
the rest,
Walks gently till his little day be
past,
A quiet toiler in his toiling blest7
Since living patiently he liveth best,
And dteth best, at last.

ANOTHER cumm,Ns DEMOCRAT.

| La Toilette has discovered Il Cum
Minis republican among the millionaires
of Wisconsin and brings him out as 8
| candidate for United States senator tc
| succeed Senator Spooner. A million
aire, president of the Wisconsin and
Michigan railway, a great mill owner
| banker and possessor of the largest
fortune in the Badger state, he has en-
paign for senator with an uneduivocal
platform, which when uttered by Cum
| Minis, would brand him as Il democrat
when uttered by La Toilette would
brand him as u chautauqua agitator
and when uttered by Roosevelt would
brand him as unsafe to business in
terests, and yet this millionaire is
known as a man of his word and If
elected would live up to his profes
sions. Here is his platform:
/. Prompt and thorough revision of
all tariff schedules, reducing duties
wherever possible without reducing
wages of labor.
9, Strengthening the interstate
commerce law, giving the commission
full power to regulate rates and serv-
ices.
3. Legislation authorizing and
equipping the interstate commerce
commission to ascertain the true value
OF railway property, the cost OF oper-
ating the railways and the amount
paid therefor.
4. Legislation requiring the adoption
of the best known safety appliances
the operation of trains in connection
Herewith. -
8. Strengthening the Sherman an
ti-trust law and Imposing such addi-
tional penalties as will deter property
interests from combining in violation
thereof.
6. A constitutional amendment for
the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people.
Z. A federal tax upon incomes.
s. A federal tax upon tnheritances,
the same not to interfere with the tax
alton of inheritances under the Wis
consin state law.
9, An effective child labor law.
10. Legislation prohibiting the sale
or entry of any public lands contains
ing COAL Ignite. oil, or gas, and provid-
ing that the government should retain
its title. and lease such lands under
terms which will enable the govern
ment to prevent combination and main
tain reasonable prices.
H. I am opposed to ship subsidy
and to all other forms of direct govern
ment bounty. 1t is wrong in princi-
pie and increases the danger of 'specia
privilege, already a menace to a gov
eminent of equal rights for all.
IL. l am q republican and shall ex-
pect to act with my party generally or
matters of public policy, reserving to
myself the right to vote my conscien-
tious judgment at all times.
II shall continue to aid Loyalty the
cause of reform in Wisconsin, the
beneficent results of which the people
of this commonwealth now freely &C

Whites effects sofa cushion brought
$170. Other articles of minor value
sold at prices that gave evidence of
the morbidity of the purchasers. 1t

There is really little need that liars
should have good memories when the
thrifty stenographer saves his notes
and the friend fails to burn the let
ters.
SHAW, I believe has given up all
idea Of entering the race."-Congress
man Hull.
There are newspapers in southern
Iowa that now believe 35 per cent was
not plurality enough because somebody
has been mean enough to assert that
Cummins could get 80 per cent in a
primary for United States senator.

school ma,am has no excuse for DELHI

entirely logical. Suppose he refuses

Congressman Hulps assurance, that

the delegation for their own leaders
by Taft coup will lend the report
confirmation rather than denial to a
considerable number of politicians who
think they know the congressman
pretty well.
Some of the men and newspapers
that did most for the democratic ticket
last fall are in an agony of fear lest
the primary law should offer democ-
cratic advantage
In poor old wicked Pittsburg
A hope has raised it's head

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Admitting that there are arguments
>innumerable in support of the change
to the commission form of city gov
eminent, the Dubuque Telegraph con-
cludes: But the whole question re-
solves itself into this, Would the aid
ermen and mayor be of higher type
than those ordinarily chosen? Any
system. however good, will fail in the
hands Of bad or incompetent men. The
need is for a change in men more than
a change in system"
The webster City Tribune, presup-
posing that it is not plain to many
people why republican who favors
tariff revision now is tariff ripper"
while the one who favors revision I'M
mediately following the next presiden-
tial election is patriot, explains
thus: 1T appears that the difference
is only one of courage. The revisionlst
who shrnks from acting now is simply
afraid the result might defeat some
of the men who take part"
"Of course the country can under
stand why the political corporations
went to beat Roosevelt" remarks the
Waterloo Courier. ut is largely for
The same reason that they wanted to
defeat Governor Cummins last year.
The president, like the governor, stands
in their way, and is the greater obsta-
Gle because he labors in a larger fled"
Upon such an issue between himself
and Hartman the Nevada Represen-
tative says "the most of the people will
believe the president; but it does not
follow from this fact that the story is
not disagreeable one to have in Cir
culation.'
"The legislature is going to stay a
few days longer but please don't crit
icise. Tt might make 'em mad and
cause another postponement," requests
the Sioux City Journal.
"There is a strong feeling in the Sew
.enth district that Hulls scalp is about
ripe" observes the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette
The Burlington Hawk-Eye finds
there is something radically wrong
with the man who does not find genu-
inc pleasure in making or watching
things grow. And the woman or child,
either for that matter. We have cult
waited the destructive spirit for many
thousands of years. Perhaps we are
Just beginning to realize that the man
who makes two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before. has done
more for the world than the conqueror
whe swept across the earth and left a
million graves to mark his course"
'"rhere is no reason for surprise at
the appearance of a movement to de-
feat the Roosevelt interests and poll
Icies in 1905" observes the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil. anyone at all ac-
auainted with the rudiments of poll
tics must have realized long ago that
when the time should be ripe there
would be plenty of opposition to the
president and his program"
There are too many people in the
world who will not cast their bread
upon the waters unless they are as
sured beforehand that it will return in

Steamed Pudding - One cupful
suet chopped fine, one cupful mo-
lasses, cupful %currants, washed
and dried; one cupful sour milk, n
teaspoonful soda, a little salt, flour.
Mix well with flour enough to make
O stiff dough; pour into a mould and
steam four hours.
Stewed Kidneys-Here is a good
recipe for stewed kidneys. Boil them,
then chop fine and boil again in
fresh water until quite tender. Make
1 white sauce of flour and butter
stirred together until quite smooth.
Then stir in slowly the milk or cream,
and when this boils add the kidneys
and remove from the fire, and season
with salt and pepper. 1t takes about
half an hour for the kidneys to boil
until tender.
Rice Pudding With Jam-To make
this wash four ounces of rice and
drain 1t. Put into a saucepan with
a pint of milk, and let it simmer
gently for half an hour. Add two
ounces of fresh butter and simmer
again until it is quite soft. Pour it
out, sweeten and flavor with any
agreeable ~favoring and beat it up
with two well-whsked eggs. Turn it
into a plain mould, we'll buttered,
and bake in a gentle oyen for half
an hour. Turn it out before serving
and garnish with any b~right-colored
Jam spread round or upon it.
Rock Cake-Rub half a pound Of
butter or good sweet dripping into
a pound Of flour. Stir in two heap
ing tablespoonful of good baking
powder, add a pinch of salt, a little
finely minced lemon peel, two or
three tablespoonfuls of fine sugar,
and half a pound of dried ~currants.
Moisten the whole with two eggs,
we'll beaten, and a little milk. Make
up into a stiff dough, and bake on a
creased tin, setting the rock cakes
well apart from each other in little
stiff knobs" Fifteen to twenty
minutes is a sufficient time to allow
for the baking of these old-fashioned
fayorites.
