Former Marshall County
Couple Welded 40 Years

Especial California Correspondence.)
The Iowa friends Of David q Bishop
and his wife will be glad to learn
that on Thursday, Oct. s, they cele-
brated the. fortieth anniversary of their
wedding.
Two score years have these two.
good people lived together, loved and
cared for one another. Comfortably
nestled i'm their pretty white cottage
at San Jose, with its fresh, green lawn
and flowers, they are as happy as
they were, as lovers before their mar
riage. To see Mr.. Bishop NOW his
lawn, with gallant strides, and trim
his pepper trees at the edge Of his
sidewalk, one would hardly believe
that he had been a married man for
forty years. But he chose wisely in the
selection Of his helpmeet, and indeed
they work and plan together.
On their fine little fruit ranch out
in the country, q few miles from their
Clara valley, David Bishop gathers in
his crop of luscious fruit, and with
Maria, his wife, he has placed in boxes
six tons of the prunes which go to
make this valley famous. Ten years
ago neither could have done so much,
and David Bishop was then far from
well. The wonderful climate of the
Santa Clara valley, and California's
golden sunshine have brought fresh
youth and vigor to them both.
To look into their faces now proves
the happy answer to their promises
made in the romantic log cabin in
iowa before the friends gathered
forty years ago. And yet far away
from that log cabin their hearts beat
tenderl5- in memory of it, and that
scene il, vividly before their eyes. In
speaking of it to your correspondent
their voices took ON a gentler softness
as they recalled the faces of their dear
friends in the old home state. and
lived over again in sweet memory
that wedding ceremony OF forty years
gone bv. n. B. S.

New Drug, Poslam, Now ObtainabIe in
Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago t. 2
new drug, poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases of
eczema and other distressing skin
Affections. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit Of &C.
zema patients in large jars sufficient
for a months treatment. This was
found to be an Inconvenience to many
thousands who use it for minor skin
troubles, such as pfmples, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemishes, itching feet, piles, ETC., which
require but a small quantity to cure. To
overcome this, and in response to ur-
gent appeals, the dispensers of poslam
have been obliged to adopt, in addition
to the regular tWo-dollar package, a
special ffty-cent size, which in future
may be found on sale at the Mcbride
& Will Drug Co., and other leading
drug stores, in Marshalltown, or may
be ordered direct from the Emergency
No. 32 West 25th street,
New York City. In all eczema cases
stops itching with first appli-
and proceeds to heal Immediate
ly; chronic cases being cured in two
weeks. In less serious skin troubles,
are seen after an overnight ap-
plication.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free of charge, by
to the laboratories 20. them.

you have to sell 1t at a lower price?
Mr.. Smith: The difiicuity Mr..
Clark, in introducing any new prod
uct in competition with standard,
recognized product has always been
met In the first instance by a lower
price. l believe that beet sugar Is
absolutely chemically identical with
cane sugar. .-.
Mr.. Clark: know; and that is ex-
actly what puzzles me about It. =
Cane.Sugar Prejudice
Mr.. Smith: At the same time.
when they first commenced to mar
ket beet sugar In this country there
was prejudice against 1t. which
was fostered by the dealers In cane
sugar. The dealers In beet sugar
were advised that beet sugar was in
ferior in quality and was not as sal
able. and u prejudice was created
against It which was even fostered at
that time by the cane sugar refnei 3
refusing to furnish the grocers with
their sugar II they handled beet su-
gar. For some time that sort of a
war was made against the beet sugar
industry. and in order to induce deal
ers to handle beet sugar It was neces-
sary to sell It at a lower price; and
having started into do that, It Is next
impossible to ever recover and get
back on the same basis.
| Mr.. Clark: Do you suppose that
one housewife out of q thousand In
the United States ever inquiries OF the
gr0ceryman when sine wants refined
sugar whether It is beet sugar or cane
sugar?
Mr.. Smith: ! should say not.
Mr.. Clark: II that Is the case. the
fellow that buys the beet sugar and
sells It, the groceryman. is doing a
better business and wiser business
for himself than the fellow who buys
and sells the cane sugar?
Mr., Smith: Sure: he makes more
money on 1t. He sells II at the sam,
price as cane sugar.
Mr.. Clark: And they have beer
able to get up this prejudice agains
beet sugar and keep 1t up all thes,
years, and still keep 1t up?
Mr.. Smith: We have been unable
to get the price back. do not know
why 1t is. II you can suggest an.
way, and put 1t into this bill, we will

LIVED AFTER HANGING.

Men and Women Who Survived the
Ordeal of the ScaffoId.
Innumerable instances of resuscita-
ton after hanging are recorded. Hen
ry Ill granted pardon to a woman
named meta de Balsham, who was
suspended from 8 o'clock on a Mon
day to sunrise of Thursday and after
ward "came to-" DR.. Plot tells of
Swiss who was hanged up thirteen
times without effect on account of the
peculiar condition of his windpipe, it
having been converted into bone by
disease,
Annie Green, servant girl, was
hanged at Oxford in 1850 and recover
ed fourteen hours afterward under
doctors treatment Mrs. Cope, who
was hanged at the same place eight
years later, also recovered. On Sept.
2, 1924, Margaret Dickson was hanged
at Edinburgh and recovered while be-
ing carried to the grave. She lived
for many years afterward and was
universally known as "Half Hanged
Maggie Dickson
n AO0SCDicdACE udLucQ Gl1llut was
hanged at Tyburn in 17O5 A reprieve
came when he had been suspended a
quarter of an hour. He was cut down,
bled and revived William Duell hang
ed in London in 174O, revived and
was transported. A man hanged in
Cork in 1865 was taken in hand by
physician who brought him round In
six hours, and we are told the fellow
had the nerve to attend a theatrical
performance the same evening.
Richard Johnson, hanged at Shrews-
bury, Oct. 3, 1896, obtained a promise
from an undersheriff to place him in
the coffin without changing his clothes.
After hanging half an hour he still
showed signs of life, and on examina-
ton it was found he had wrapped
cords about his body connected with
hooks at the neck which prevented
the rope from doing its work. The
apparatus was removed and the man
hanged effectually.
1t may be offered in explanation of
the cases mentioned that there was no
drop used at executions in those days,
the culprit usually suffering asphyxia
without the cerebral column being
broken.-London Tit-Bits.

THE EDUCATED MAN.
Not All of His Knowledge Comes From
Books and Schools.

Books and Schools.
The most important part of educa.
ton comes from intercourse with peo-
pie. From this side comes the educa-
ton in love and duty and service. the
actions Of people stimulate Imitation
and emulation By these men grow
In power and skill. From observation
of the character Of people men form
ideals of character for themselves and
are transformed thereby. Herein lies
the consummate educative power IL
Christianity-the transforming power
of the divine man
According to this new idea, educa
ton is not merely. receiving, but CIV
ing; not learning alone, but doing. The
educated man Is open eyed and oper
minded, quick to respond to infiu-
ences from without, learning from al
his experiences and growing in power
as he grows In knowledge. Charles
Kingsley said of his father that ''he
possessed every faculty but the facul
ty of using his faculties" He was
not an educated man, although he was
very learned one.
Education is an individual matter
No two men can be educated alike In
manner or degree. They respond te
different influences and grow In differ
emit ways. One becomes educated by
way of schools and colleges and life
another by life alone. The measure Of
a mans education is the measure Of
his use in the world.-George W. Mar
tin in Boston Globe.

Jack had paid his way always. Out
of the poverty of his childhood he had
fought his way through the university.
After graduation he felt he must see
