A CARE-FREE MAN.


know a man who whistles gladly
While he works away;
Put his wife's neglected sadly,
So their peiehbors say.
Trouble never seems to haunt him,
All his days are fair;
Disappointment never daunt him,
He defies despair.
One of those men who inherit
Glee, he's never blue;
Since his work has little merit
His rewards are few.
Whistling carelessly or singing,
He cares not a~whit
What the future may be bringing,
If he thinks of it.
His creed is live not for tomorrow,
Lead care-free life;
Often shame and often sorrow
Haunt his weary wife;
While his children sit in sadness
He sings unconcerned;
1t is splendid to have gladness,
But it should be earned.

A New Game-The Merchants

senate merchants and each guesses,
from his country and the initial letter
of the article, what his neighbor has
for sale.
The players being seated in line,
the one at the end begins, for instance:
II am an English merchant and l sell
c." The next in line must supply the
name of the article, which may be
China, carpets, cheese, clothing or
any production of England, but must
be nothing not made or grown there,
like coffee or cinnamon. Anyone who
violates this rule loses his turn.
Whoever names a correct article
then announces, in like manner. his
own country and the first letter of
what he sells, and the game goes on
as long as the players choose. 1t
should be played rapidly.

Legend Of the Forget-Me-Nots.-
You all know the little forget-me-
not and like it, not only for its simple
beauty but for the sentiment of its
name. Now, l wonder if there are
many little boys and girls who can
tell me how this little flower happened
to get its name? think you all ought
to know, SO shall tell you. This is
the German legend A knight and
a lady were walking on the banks of
the Danube when the lady requested
the knight to gather for her a tiny
blue flower that grew on the edge
OF the stream. In doing so he fell into
the river and, owing to the weight of
his armor and the steepness of the
bank, he was carried away by the cur
rent Seeing his impending fate, he
made supreme effort and threw the
flower to. the lady, crying, "Vergiss
mein nicht!" (meaning forget me mott
Ever since then the flower has been
the emblem of fidelity.

 It is well to remember that the sam ples for these tests were collected at different times, and that the tempera- ture varied considerably on different days, and that milk which would show low in bacteria on a cold day, would give higher results when the weather is warmer, consequently milk should be delivered at the lowest temperature possible.
 It is to be understood that the quality of milk is not to be judged alone by the bacterial count. but the fat test must also be considered, together with the other relative constituents of nor nal milk.

Kulqhts TempIar Have Banquet

The Order Of the Red Cross was con-
ferred upon DR.. D. r. Dudley and P. B.
Anderson, of Mt. Ayr, and George W.
Baker and Sam Sears at a special meet
ing of Tripolis Commandery Knights
Templar last Thursday afternoon. The
work was concluded shortly before six
o'clock and the Knights and their ladies
then enjoyed q sumptuous banquet serv-
ed by the Ladies Aid Society of the
Presbyterian church in the basement
of the church. At the conclusion of the
banquet the Knights and their ladies
went to the K. p. hall where delight
full social evening was spent and those
present greatly enjoyed the splendid
music. Miss Bertha Lester, of Salem,
who was visiting here, kindly sang
several selections and her rich full
voice filled the big hall. Miss Lester is
singer of rare ability, her enunciation
being perfect and she was compelled to
respond again and again to the plaudits
of her appreoiative audience. Misses
Ruth Farquhar and Mabel Dorm furnish
ed instrumental music and Miss Ruth
also sang solo in fine style. Mrs.
Charles Dupree Smith, of Des Moines,
who is visiting relatives and friends
here assisted with several songs, and
her friends who had not heard her re-
Gently were surprised at her splendid

DOCUT THOSE WEEDS.
If You Do Not. the City Will Cut
Them For You.

The moist weather has produced
wonderful crops of weeds on the hills
and in the suburbs. In many places
the people are compelled to walk In
dian file, and here and there narrow
walks are nearly overgrown and over
run with weeds. And in many places
the owners and tenants are making no
attempt to keep down the ranks growth
and seem absolutely unconcerned about
the comfort and convenience of the
general public. Unless these people
take warning and get busy promptly
the city will get out its scythes and get
to work, and then there will be added
cost. The expense will be charged to
the abutting property and it is tax
that can not be lodged, as it will be
assessed against the lots. Of course,
the city prefers that the property owner
attend to his own affairs, instead Of
compelling the city to do the work for
him, and SO the public is again urged to
get busy. If the warning is not needed
promptly the city will get busy.

THE OFFICIAL CANVASS
OF the Votes Cast at the Recent
Primary Election as Canvassed
by the Board of Supervisors. )

In accordance with the provisions Of
the state primary law the board of su-
pervisors on Tuesday made the official
canvass of the votes cast in Decatur
county at the recent primary election,
as returned by the township election
boards. There are no material changes
in the returns as published in Tie Re-
porter last week except that for con-
gresham on the democratic ticket Mr..
McGinnis made gain of Is votes, his
majority over Jameson in Decatur
county being 475 instead of AGO. Based
on the unofficial returns Jameson had a
majority in the district of only 4S, and
the change in this county reduces his
majority to SO. Should there be other
changes over the district there is a
possibility that it might affect the re-
suit. There is no question but that the
position or the official ballot, where the
names are arranged in alphabetical or
der. cost Mr.. McGinnis several hundred
votes, as in many precints the voters,
irrespective Of party voted for the first
candidate appearing on the ballot.
The following is the official vote as
canvassed by the board of supervisors:

N. w. A. WILL LOSE NOTHING.
Head Banker McNider Says Money
In Charlton Bank Will Not be
Lost,

Mason City, June 9.-"The Modern
Woodmen of America will not lose a
penny" said Head Banker G. H. Nc.
Nider, Of this city, in speaking of his
claim for S350,000 he has filed against
the Crocker estate at Charlton so that
the order may be reimbursed for losses
sustained in the failure of the First
National Bank of that city which was a
depository of Woodmen funds.
In talking of the dispatch which ap-
peared in newspapers recently, Mr..
McNider said that it put the best as
pect on the matter for Charlton people,
but that the Woodmen lodge had been
secured by the bond which he believed
gilt edged. Mr.. McNider said he was
sure his claim will be given proper at
tention ty the assignees at the proper
time. Continuing he said:
"lf our claim should be evaded, the
receiver would have more money to
divide among the other depositors.
There can be no chance of the NJ. W. A.
not receiving it's proportion of what
ever assets the bank may have to meet
this claim, for it's deposits could not
have been personal loan nor a personal
deposit, for that would have been H.
legal and could not have been approved
by the board,
"The receiver has passed upon our
claim and has acknowledged it and the
comptroller of the currency has en-
dorsed the receivers action, so that the
First National Bank, of Charlton, is
liable for the deposit to the amount of
its ability to pay, and it has assets to
pay at least so per cent of the deposits.
I'VE brought action against the
Crocker estate to secure whatever we
could from them to save the bondsmen
from putting up the least possible sum,
but whatever the deficit the bondsmen
of the deceased Crocker will have
to refund the order and they have the
financial ability to meet the terms of
the bond, which were five times the
amount of tho deposit.
You understand that this reference
to the head banker said Mr.. McNider,
lis not personal but in an official capac-
ity.' The deposit could not have been
made without the approval of the board
of directors of the M. W. A. and if there
were any personal liability it would be
with them.
Further the deposit was not author
lied till three different reports had been
made by the different inspectors of the
order and the bond filed had been
passed upon as ample and good.
"Our attorneys haven't any idea that
the bank receiver can escape paying
the order it's due share of the deposit,
that is, whatever the assets shall pay
out and they are certain that the bnpdsU
Mteap Mteap 5#halt 5#halt he leiI not lese dol
lar. The matter will have to go through
the courts and may take some time but
the whole matter will come out all right
in the end and the Modern Woodmen of
America will not lose cent because
of this unfortunate affair.""
