NO UNBELIEF.

There is no unbelief:
Whoever plants "A seed beneath the sod
And waits to see it push away the clod
He trusts in God
Whoever says, when clouds are in the
BE patient heart; light breaketh by
and-by.'
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees. meath winters fields of
snow.
Tho silent harvest of the future grow.
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to
sleep.
Content to lock each sense in slumber
deep
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says Tomorrow The I'm
known.
THE Future trusts the power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eve
lids close.
And dares to live when life has only
woes.
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbeiief;
And day by day. and night. uncsn-
sciouSly.
The heart lives by that faith the lips
deny
God kneweth why.

A WEE SMALL HERO

ing here now. has been discovered
to be human storage battery of
electricity. The widowed mother
fears the boy is possessed. T" He is
red-headed, frecltle-faced and blue
eyed. A court of medical experts,
electricians and physicians has made
remarkable tests with the boy.
His strange powers were accident
ally discovered by metal filling
which had been put in one tooth. The
boy picked up the disconnected por-
celain knob that was used to connect
an electric fan with an electric-light
wire, and thrust it into his mouth.
As the metal cap touched the metal
tooth filling. the fan began to re-
volve and then to buzz at full speed.
A thirty-two candle-power bulb was
attached to the end of the wire and
the light burned brilliantly.
When a steel thimble was put on
the boys finger and he grasped the
end of the wires in his hand. the
same result was obtained. piece
of iron held in the boys hand for a
few minutes became highly magne-
tized. A hammer with an iron han
die held in his hands will attract
tacks at the distance of four feet.

AFTER 80 YEARS
HIS REASON RESTORED
Especial to The Sentinel. J


Mason City la, Sept. 26.-Thirty
years insane and confined in hos
pital Henry Baker of Winneshiek
county has been suddenly restored
to his full reason. Today his mind
is as clear as can be, but the thirty
years are a complete blank; he can
recall nothing that has occurred His
return to reason was as sudden as
when his mind first gave way. Doc
tors are astonished at the transition
and cannot account for it. There
had never been any symptoms of re
covery until all at once reason flash
ed upon him.
His recollection of old time friends
is pathetic. He is now So years of
age. AT the age of 23 he was kicked
on the head by morse. His parents
lived near Castralia. Henry was at
the time engaged to marry a young
girl. When he was taken to Inde-
pendence and declared incurable, the
girl was wooed and won by another
She is now the mother of a large
family. About the first inquiry
Baker made was in regard to the
girl. Then he inquired of his par
ents, dead long ago. Friends of his
boyhood and early manhood had
scattered and gone. Many who knew
Baker called to see him, but time has
so changed them that he has no
recol ection of them other than their
name. When he recalls them, the
look they had thirty years ago comes
to HIM. The country and the town
in which he lived. and even the old
homestead have all changed Baker
does not rejoice over his recovery.

!
| Grand Junction, Colo.
There are no secrets in this cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
| breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or implied. other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERN
MENT.
Mr.. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entang-
ling alliances. free to serve all class
es of honest citizens alike. or he will
not enter it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses if they want pub
lie servants who will serve their in
terests.
Special interests and favored class
es, having secured SWOLLEN FOR
! TUNES" by purchasing favors in the
past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED
| TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand
ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR
! CONTINUED FAVORS. But that
class never gives a dollar unless it
/ buys a pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says, from March 4,
1909. LET THE PEOPLE RULE. >"
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control their
own elections.
BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS

That policy of the favored few
~
ment meant that the candidate for
president knew "A few people only in
an entire state.

SOME ELECTION FIGURES.

The recent election was disappoint- ing to many Democrats. but thous- ands realized long before the 3rd of November that Judge Taft would be successful. As We have already said, under the circumstances there is no reason for Democratic hopelessness. but on the contrary reason for expect ing better showing, if not victory, in the near futufe. Events are already so shaping themselves as to give evil dence of severe conflicts in the ranks of the Republican party. Before his inauguration Judge Taft has given affr6nt to a large element of the Re- publicans in Ohio, because of the Sem atorisl contest in that State and 1t is likely to grow into large propor- tions before it Is settled. Congress- man Burton was mentioned for Sec retary of the Treasury. but preferred to run for the Senate. as successor to Foraker. Charles P. Taft. of Gin
  elect. is a candidate for the same po- sition and over this candidacy Is the Ohio trouble.
 If Mir. Bryan was forced upon the Democratic party it Is hardly too much to say. that Taft was forced upon the Republicans. If tAe power of executive influence and patronage had not been exerted to the utmost some other person than Judge Taft would have been the Republican nomi- nee and that the action of the con vention did not give entire satisfac- tion is evidenced by the fact that in many States thousands of Republi- cans did not vote This seems strange in view of the fact that Taft ran ahead of the Republican candidates
