A VARIETY OF ExPEDIENTs.
Little Sinner Was Providing for Fu-
ture Emergencies.

Muriel a fiveyear.old subject Of
King Edward VII, has been thought
by her parents too young to feel the
weight of .he rod, and has been ruled
by moral suasion alone. But when,
the other day, she achieved disobedi-
ence three times in five minutes, more
vigorous measures were called for,
and her mother took an ivory paper
knife from the table and struck her
smartly across her little bare legs.
Muriel looked astounded Her moth
er explained the reason for the blow.
Muriel thought deeply for moment.
Then, turning toward the door with a
grave and disappearing countenance,
she announced in her clear little Eng
llsh voice:

Congressman Murphy's Speech.

At the close of Prof. Moore's talk
on corn, in the city hall on last Sat
urday afternoon, Congressman J. W.
Murphy was presented to the audience
by Mr.. E. G. Fielder. who spoke
briefly of the Importance of having
the Third congressional district rep
resented in Congress, as it now is
by a man who is watchful of the
interests of the whole people, and
opposed to one-man power. Follow
ing up the thought, Mr.. Murphy
outlined the procedure of Congress in
enacting laws, and showed how vast
is the power of the speaker in thwart-
ing legislation to which he may be
opposed. He dwelt at some length
upon the unfair methods and arbi-
trary rulings of speaker Cannon,
and clearly showed that the only way
to get rid of Cannon is to elect
Democratic house of representatives
who will change Cannon as we'll as
the rules by which the lower house of
Congress is governed. Mr.. Murphy
spoke especially Of speaker Cannon's
unfair and unjust treatment of Con-
gresham Nelson, of the Second Wis
consin district Mr.. Murphy also said
that he himself, had endeavore to
fairly and impartially represent the
people of the Third district in Con-
gress, and that no resident of the
district had to name the political
party to which he belonged in order
to obtain favor which the present
representative could obtain for him.
He refuted the charge that he was
opposed to the interests of the miners
and other labOrers in his district,
and showed how from a boy he had
been interested in mining; that he had
worked in the mines, and in later
years aided in the development of the
lead and zinc region. His speech
was attentively listened to throughout
by the large number of people pres
ent.

who can possibly do so, should hear

Interesting Talk on Corn by Prof.
X. A. Moore.

There were 146 entries in the Iowa
County Bank Corn Contest, and the
samples were judged on last Saturday
morning by Prof. r. A. Moore Of the
Agriculture department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. The corn was
judged on the following points:
Trueness of type or breed character
istics; shape of ear; color of grain, of
cob: market conditions; tips; butts;
kernels, uniformity of. shape of;
lenght of ear; space Of furrow between
kernels at cob; proportion of corn to
cob
The premiums were awarded as fol-
lows
Gordon Brothers 1st; score 81 minus.
Joseph Engels I'd; score 90 plus.
John P. Ley, Sd; score 80 plus.
At the city hall, shortly after one
O'Clock Prof. Moore gave very in
teresting and instructive talk on corn
growing. He outlined the corn breed
ing work of the Wisconsin Expert
mental Station and showed how far
reaching the work has become, and
how important it is to obtain the
greatest possible yield of corn from
our high priced lands. This, he said,
can only be done by choosing higher
and better bred varieties of corn and
exercising care in the preservation of
the seed. He said that all corn intend
ed for seed should be kiln-dried, that
is by artificial heat, but not necessar-
lily dried in kiln. He commended
the promoters of the Corn Contest, and
the exhibitors, for the interest taken
in the snbject of corn growing, a sub
ject which, he said, is of great impor-
tance to the people. Prof. Moore
stated further that he judged the corn
exhibit at the Wisconsin state fair,
and that this exhibit surpassed the
corn exhibit at the state fair, both as
to quality and number of exhibits.
When it is remembered that the corn
grown in the United States each year
is worth more than q billion dollars,

Daughters of the Confederacy, at the
City Hall on Saturday evening, we're

The invocation by DR.. Z. c. Gordon
found an echo in every loyal heart
present. The song Juanita, by Miss
lie Grande and three of her pupils
from Lexington College, awoke many
tender memories that had long shIm-
bered in the breasts of those who
were old enough to recall the days
when it was sung around the camp
fires by the boys in gray.
After the roll call, Mrs. Hyde, pres
ident of the chapter, in a few well
chosen remarks set forth the pur-
poses OF the organization.
This was followed by the effective
reading of Father Ryan's, "The
Sword of Robert Lee and of "The
Retreat" by Miss Lessie Bates.
Miss LIE Grande then sang issuance

attested their appreciation in tears
The address by DR.. Pattillo was the
main feature of the evening. 1t was

DR.. Richard Green MOultOn
Speaks tOa Good
Audience.
A SCHOLARLY ADDRESS
Not So Entertaining as the Two Preced.
ing Lectures, But More Indicat i've
Of the Speakers Depth.

The largest audience that has yet
listened to a lecture in the series
that DR.. Richard Green Moulton is
giving at Central College heard his
address Thursday evening on the
Book of Job. The literary enthu-
siasts we're there in full force and en-
joyed the lecture exceedingly; but to
the "hoi polloin the address was less
entertaining considerably than either
of the two preceding ones,
which were on Shakespearean sub
iects. The first lecture dealt with
Richard III" as a study of Nemesis;
the second dealt with 'Romeo and
Juliet" as a study of pathos, and both
of these were well rounded out,
thoroughly convincing and complete.
The subject Of the third lecture was
the Book of Job which could be given
no exhaustive treatment in the short
time allowed.
DR.. Moulton merely made a few
explanations and outlined the plot Of
the drama. Consequently he used
little argument and it is in an argu-
ment that DIR. Moulton is most in
teresting. His favorite method con
sists in setting up imaginary critics
who hold views opposite his own
and then beating them into ever
lasting silence. When doing this he
is extraordinarily brilliant; but he
did not have time for such work
Thursday night
The most impressive explanation
was in,regard to the Satan who sees
to Jobs Affections. This Satan, ac
corning to DR.. Moulton, is not the
Satan popularity regarded as the
enemy and oppresser Of mankind, but
merely an overseer of God in whose
province Job happened to be.
The development of the plot was
vigorously and clearly outlined and
many passages read in dramatic
fashion The characters, especially
Elihu, we're explained and giver
much more individuality than they
have to the ordinary person reading
the book. But the speaker devoted
most Of his time to the unfolding o.
story and not to any particular phase
of it, so that to the lay mind the lect
ure was not as attractive asthose or
Shakespeare. 1t was evident, how
ever, that the matter presented
was the work of a master ant
more Indicative Of original anC
exhaustive research and study thar
the Shakespeare lectures. The Ions
Oriental arguments of the origina
were boiled down and put into the
most beautiful language. So this
lecture, though not the most enter
tanning, is probably the most scholar,
in DR.. Moulton's repertoire.
The remaining three lectures viii
be on Shakespearean topics.
