Must Progress.

Iowa Is the last state in the Union
to attempt to cripple its educational
institutions on the plea of economy Of
administration. Listen to the ringing
words of Governor Cummins on this
point
There is net a state that has bet
ter constituency Of boys and girls than
Iowa, They are SO born and bred
that with proper training they easily
become leaders in all the fields of hui
man activity. We owe to them pro-
found and continuing duty. They are
entitled to all the advantages that
the best schools can confer upon them.
While 1t is not 10 be expected that all
the boys and girls OF the state will
take on all their education In our own
schools, not a single one OF them
should leave the state because there Is
i better school elsewhere. To keep
these boys and girls at home and TO
attract Others from neighboring states

we must keep pace with the times.
We must continue to erect buildings
of the best type. We must increase
the support to meet the growing de-
mand, and we have a demand which
arises not alone from greater numbers
but from more complete and varied
instruction. We have not penny for
useless expenditure, but millions for
the perfect training Of our boys and
girls.
The system of control which has
built up the Ames school to Its present
position in the front rank Of agricult.
ural educational institutions OF the
world is good system to let alone.

Joint Board a Failure.

1t Is admitted by the chairmen OF

poses to introduce consolidation bill

cessful both in South Dakota aud
Minnesota, but in their superior wis
dom they propose to incorporate such
notifications OF the plan as will make
IL work all right in Iowa. This is
child's play. The plan is fundamently
defective, and no amount of galvaniza-
tion will breathe the breath of hope
full life into 1t. Under the proposed
Iowa plan board OF control number
ing fifteen will be named which is to
meet four times year. An executive
committee OF three is to be appointed
under salary, and the direction OF the
policies of these educational institu-
lions will inevitably come in time to
rest In the practical control of the ex.
ecutive committee. This Is called a
business administration. 1t Is farth-
est from it. 1t will quickly degener.

educational interests by very few
men whose qualifications may or may
not be at all suitable for the work. 1t

Of these three institutions lies along
different lines and each should be in

the control of all three into the hands

crop out on the floor Of the senate

discussion.
Senator Bullen comes from Logan,
the home OF the agricultural school,

senator said:

Governor Cutler presented his mes.
sage to the State legislature Tuesday
afternoon, and though the document
proved some two hours and eighteen
inches In length, HE READ IT HIM.
SELF The message is really rather
splendid in its exhaustiyeness, and
many recommendation are safe and
sane-but for the Governor to read
that list OF words to the legislative
body is beyond comprehension. What
ever the Governors forte may be, it is
not public speaking or reading and -
but what's the use His message
summed up tcrsely recommends:
That the railroad commission ques-
ton be dealt with prudently.
That the University OF Utah and
the Agricultural college be placed un.
der the supervision Of one board
That the term of county assessors he
changed from two to four years and
the pay In some counties be increased
That an amendment TO the constitu.
ton be made authorizing the board Of
equalization to tax the net proceeds
OF mines.
That public funds be placed on in
terest-paying basis and treasurers be
more fully compensated to remove
temptation OF profit making.

twinklcd in the sky overhead. Judging
by my own fatigue, / reckoned that old
Peter would certainly give up the pur-
suit for to-day.
The lingering twilight was not yet past
when / reached the cottage, and to my
great satisfaction i could see no one
o. the road n either direction. l I'M
locked the door and enterad closing it
behind me.
'We are cafe for at least another
night" thought /.
l called "Psyche!H There was no re-
Spouse. 1t was unusual. At the first
sound of my football at this hour she
would cry to me Brother !" Going
down the passage toward the stairs l
stopped abruptly at the angle facing
the entrance OF the back garden. The
door was wide open. 1t was easily ac
counted for, said to myself. Psyche,
risiry at the usual hour and finding me
not in the house, had unbolted the door
end gone out 10 seek me n the garden.
That was why she had not responded to
my call. But for all that it was with
annoying fear that | ran down the gar
den, calling her under my breath at ev-
cry turn and alley, peering into all her
favorte haunts with the hope that she
might be hiding from me In sport, as
she sometimes did. Not a sound broke
the silence. | could see no sign of her.
l ran back into the house and search
ed every room, calling upon her again and
again with a despair in my voice that
told me how dear she h=d become to me.
Once more | explored the garden with
overriding nope. and coming at last TO
tho wicket at the side of the house which
communicated with the front garden,
found that open.
Then it occurred to me that old Peter
had beaten ne, and not | him. 1t was
obvious now why he had stopped me in
the open street at Towerbrdge and tried
to provoke me to a quarrel why when
lie saw me resolved on going through Ec-
cIesham he allowed me to struggle up the
hill. He had succeeded only too well in
gaining time 70" my grandfather or some
ether raScally accomplish to lure Psyche
out of the cottage and make away with
her. And while ! wasted precious mo-
ments on the all in the complacent delu-
sion that he was resting in the copse, my
uGtiring enemy was plodding back by the
shortest road to lend hand, and with
that very hand might now be sitting the
poor child's cries for help. 1t seemed to
me that / WAS something worse than a
fool to have overlooked strategem so
paipable.

CHAPTER XIX.

My first impulse was to make at once
fer the Halfway House on the chance of
finding Psyche there; but a moments re-
Election convinced me that those who had
the cunning 20 devise this scheme of alb
duction would never have the folly to
carry the girl to n place where she would
certainly be sought.
As | stood by the open wicket, irreso-
lutte as to which course it was advisable
to take, l heard the sound of a heavy
siouching step upon the sand. l had list
ened to such sound too recently to be
mistaken. 1t was old Peter. Coming in
front of the house, he stopped and cast
his eyes at the door and the upper win
dows, scratching his stubbly jaw with his
booked fingers dubitatively.
Standing by the wicket, at the side of
the house, a shrub screened me, and a fir
in the front garden threw deep shadow
on the narrow path. / scarcely breathed.
He moved on slowly. and presently the
rustling of corn told me that he had
trrned down ny the edge of the field and
wcs s't'r;;ng the holly hedge. Stepping
lightly along The garden path, l followed
the rustling of the corn till it stopped.
Then l heard him parting the holly with
the attempt to see into the garden. He
spent q few moments in this endeavor,
and then, giving it up, he retraced his
steps and got into the road. Once more
the heavy, fiat-footei step sounded upon
the road, and as it receded / made up my
mind to follow, concluding that he would
make at once for the rendezvous where
Psyche had been taken.
I watched him from the garden until
the squat, rolling figure was only just
perceptibe in the rapidly fading twilight,
and then followed, keeping on the turf
beside the standing corn. He kept stead
ily on along the road for about quarter
0; a mile; suddenly he stopped, and then
turning to the side he disappeared, and
his steps became inaudible. Doubtful
whether he had taken path through the
cornfield, or was simply standing still to
make sure that he was not being follow
ed, redoubled the caution with which
I stole onward. Shortly grunt a little
way ahead stopped me. and l dimly per-
ceived the old man stretched out on the
trrf not more than half a dozen PAGES
from me- He kicked off one boot and
then the other. muttering about the bis
tiers on his feet, and things In general.

ton or triumph frightened up his mono
logue such rs man in his condition
might have tried to console himself with.
Was l at fault again? Had | jumped
to the wrong conclusion? After all, might
I have overlooked Psyche in some nook
or corner of the garden? While these
questions were running through my mind

The man whose thrifty choice of
wife Is chronicled in the Rochester
Herald will doubtless make a success
in the business of life. His talents de-
slime him for a wider sphere than that
Of simple farmers life. He was an
Alabama youth, and courted two girls
at the same time. One was Sally; the
other was Mary. Sally was a very fine
girl, thrifty, industrious, and Of a do
nestle turn. She was not so pretty as
some other girls, but James, the swain
in question, had courted her in his
early years. When he had prospered
and earned little money, he became
infatuated with Mary, sweet, pretty,
but always idle. The neighbors at first
were puzzled by the double courtship
but after awhile they decided that
Mary was the favored one. Suddenly
James married Sally. The Methodist
preacher who performed the ceremony
had little OF the curiosity which pos.
sesses all mankind. James," he said,

marry Mary" YES" replied James,
"but I thought If I married Mary I
should have to engage Sally to wait on
her. If I married Sally she would

WENT TO TEA
And 1t Wound Her Bobbfn.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo-
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails
bury, Md, says that she was compelled
to abandon the use of coffee a good
many years ago, because 1t threatened
to ruin her health and that she went
over to tea drinking, but finally, she
had dyspepsia SO bad that she had lost
twenty-five pounds and no food seemed
to agree with her.
She further says: "At this time I
was induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that I have
never been without it since. / COM
