TO the village her father
had INDUCED Sophy with ride on the
Dough and she begged renewal
of the treat on their homeward jour
ney. The farmer was kind man
more kind than wise, as 1t proved, on
this occasion. He set the child astrad-
die on the thick end of the bough, then
went to the other end, which was much
Elenderer. Probably his object was to
try to shake the bough and please his
small tyrant with the imitation of a
seesaw. The fallen bough suggested
no danger to his slow moving mind. He
leaned down toward the bough, with
outstretched hands, Sophy no doubt
watching his doings with excited inter-
est, while the wind ragged and reveled
among the great branches over their
heads. Enoch tried to move the bough,
but failed. In order to make another
effort he fell on his knees and bent his
back over it.
At this moment there came loud
crash, heard in the rectory grounds
and in the dining room at Woodbine
cottage, the small house opposite.

A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is
that the whole trouble lies in the stom-
ach. The pains in the side around the
region of the heart are not necessarily
heart trouble. We suggest that you
start with the stomach and whenever
you feel depression after eating or
whenever your food seems to nauseate
take Kodol. 1t will not be very long
until you know you are right again.
There isn't any doubt about what it
will do and you will find the truth of
this statement verified after you have
used Kodol for few weeks. 1t is sold
here by r. T. Tomas Drug Co.

THE GREAT POLITICAL THOUGHT.

The greatest political thought in the
world is that embodied in the declara-
ton Of independence, namely, that all
men are created equal. This is the
basis Of popular government, and pop.
ular government is spreading. 1t does
not mean that men are, or will be,
equal in physical strength, In intel.
lectual ability, in moral character or
in WEALTH. simply means that God
never gave to one human being a
natural right that he denied to any
other human being, and that in the
contemplation of government, all must
stand equal before the law. Out OF
this basic principle, all other political
principles grow and by it all methods
of government and all policies must be
measured.

bough. OF that he took no heed. Moth
ing could be done save heave sigh
over the damage to his cherished elms.
But when the cries for help reached his
ears, with praiseworthy promptitude
he rushed out straight across dis lawn
and, though he was elderly and stout,
dropped INTO the ditch, clambered out
Of 1t and came where the dead man
and the children were. As he passed
the drawing room windows he called
out to his wife. Somebody's hurt, I'm
afraid! and she, after moments con-
ference with the butler, followed her
husband; but, not being able to manage
the ditch, went around by the road and
up the avenue, the servant coming with
her. When these two arrived the
squire's help had awaited to release the
farmer from the deadly grip of the two
boughs, and he lay now on his back on
the path.
Hes dead, poor fellow" said Mr..
| Brownlow.
Its Enoch Grouch!" said the butler,
giving shudder as he looked at the
farmers face. Julia Robins sobbed,
and the boy Basil looked up at the
sources face with grave eyes.
"I'll get hurdle, SIR" said the but
Ter. Ills master nodded, and he ran
off.
Something moved on the path about
yard from the thick end Of the lower
bough.
Look there!" cried Julia Robins. A
little wall followed. With an exclama-
ton Mrs. Drownlow darted to the spot
The child lay there with cut on her
forehead. Apparently the impact of
the second bough had caused the end
Of the first to fly upward. Sophy had
been jerlsed from her seat into the air
and had fallen back on the path, strik-
ing her head on a stone. Mrs. Brown
low picked her up, wiped the blood
from her brow and saw that the injury
was slight. Soply began to cry softly.

Grouch's body was taken into the sad

followed the procession, Sophy still in

she spoke to the 10y and girl:

What the Tariff Has Done.

In his Iowa City speech delivered in
support of Governor Cummins' candi-
dacy for the senate, Ex-Governor Lar
rabee, to illustrate point he was max
ing pointed out single instance OF
what the protective tariff has done,
saying:
Take the case of Mr.. Carnegie as
an illustration, and do not wish to say
anything derogatory to this noble
hearted, capable man, who had the
ability to avail himself of the oppor-
tunity offered him., and no one can
blame him for that.
IA few years after the civil war Mr..
Carnegie with capital of about $lO,-
600 associated with few of his friends
and engaged in the manufacturing of
iron and steel. Twenty odd years after
he disposed of his interests to the trust
for about $3.50, 100000. If his employ
es numbered as many as As, 600 this was
equivalent to $4,000 OF profit to him
for each one employee. This is only one
of the many cases that might be given
to illustrate the lack of wisdom in those
who framed our tariff laws"
Lack of wisdom? That is chart
table but not a just statement. Rather
was it done to compensate the tariff
sheltered industries for their contribu
t;cns-t to the campaign fund of the re
publican party. The republican part,
cared nothing and cares nothing nov
that at least $40O, 100000 of the sun
Mr.. Carnegie received for his persona
holdings represents tribute collected il
the guise of revenue, from the Ameri
4 can consumers, and the republican
party cares nothing that each employ
(including those who were shot dowr
at Homestead for asking more wages,
yielded Carnegie net profit Of $40,
600 on the basis of $4,000 employed
The republican party cares for nothing
but success and recognizing money as
the most potent means to this end il
has chartered the tariff sheltered trusts
to rob the people because the trusts
gave part of their collections to thu
collectors of republican campaign funds

Running as they exchanged these
words, they soon came to where the

fallen. A tragic sight met their eyes
The second bough had caught the I'M

forward, on to the first. He lay with
his neck close pinned between the two

In his Iowa City speech Ex-Governor
Larrabee said:
u have examined about seventy-five
bills introduced in congress during the
present session proposing to amend the
rate law. Only one of them was intro
duced by an Iowa congressman, and
that by the democratic member, Mr..
Hamilton. One other Iowa member
did introduce resolution calling upon
the interstate commerce commission to
make an investigation of the venti-
lation of cars. You know that the
ventilation of cars is an important
matter"
The ten republican congressman had
no interest in amending the rate law for
the shippers benefit. The democrat
-ssone had such interest. The fact is
eloquent.
