Literary Theft Is Not Stealing; 1t is
Called Genius.

All authors steal. The capacity for
stealing with art and elegance Is one
of the most potent equipments OF the

hands on in a literary way and never
married in the stealing He stole
Measure For Measure" from play
called "Promos and Cassandra-" He
stole Hamlet from a play by George
Kyd. Romeo and Juliet he stole
from Italy.
Sir Walter Scott stole with a sublime
talent. He stole from antiquarian rec
ords. He stole from Goethe he stole
from Sheridan
Charles Reade claimed the right Of
the literary artist to set jewels. even
though the gems are the property Of
another.
Alexandra Dumas, the author OF
1.-The Three Musketeers" and Monte
CristO.'' was one Of the most remarka-
bic flchers in literature. In one single
year his name was attached to no few
er than forty different books. Not only
did be steal unblushingly from every
author who came handy. but he en-
plOyed numerous literary ghosts and

The Lessons of Life.

Over and over again,
No matter which way l turn,
l always find in the Book of Life
Some lesson 1 have to learn.
/ must take my turn at the mill,
/ must grind out the golden grain,
/ must work at my task with a reso-
lutte will,
Over and over again.
We can not measure the need
Of even the tiniest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden
sands
That run through single hour;
But the morning dew must fall,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part and perform it all,
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow
flows,
And over and over again
The pOnderous mill-wheel goes;
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And a blessing failing US once or
twice
May come if we try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to our feet,
And a lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat;
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depths be
riVen
With storm and tempest, we need
them all
To render as meet for heaven.

An old German lived peaceably on his
farm in Missouri. His Neighbors
elected him Justice Of Peace. Two Of
them quarreled and brought their case
before him for Decision.
After the Evidence was all In, the
Plaintiff argued in his own behalf
When he had finished, the Justice
closed his Docket with the Remark,
''Vel, You Vim de Case.
The DEPENDENT Protested against
such Procedure and Demanded Of the
Justice the Right to be Heard, to which
the Old German Replied, ''Vel you can

The Defendant Argument consisted
principally Of flights Of Oratory and

Commercial Club to Aid In Sale of
Oskaloosa Made Goods.

The directors of the OskalOosa Com.

ing in the club rooms in the basement
OF the court house Tuesday evening
for the transaction OF routine business
and the consideration Of miscellaneous
The matter of encour-
aging the increased consumption OF 10
cal factory products was brought to
attention by w. r. Campfield, repre-
senting the cigar manufacturers of the
city, and after a lengthy discussion a
was appointed consisting Of
Stewart w. jameson and l.. +. COrlett
to draw up resolutions which were
adopted. The sense OF the resolutions
Is that citizens of this community
should make a special effort to use,
whenever practical, goods manufac-
tured in Oskaloosa and that local deal
ers should all handle home products
and should push them in preference TO
imported articles The product Of Os-
kaloosa factories ranks on an equal at
least with all other similar products
on the market, and 1t is to the mutual
advantage OF manufacturer and citizen
to promote the increased sale and con.
seQuent manufacture Of home prod.
ucts.

reached a position high in the Off
cial family. Sixteen years ago as a
barefoot boy on the farm in Illinois
he watched the Burlington trains
shoot by from a fence in his fathers
farm. Ten years ago he took posi-
ton as stenographer in the general
Offices at Chicago and his four pro-
motions since that time have been
rapid. In his last position as assistant
superintendent of transportation. Mr..
Dickson has been in charge of the
transportation department the
lines west of the Missouri river. Few
men at his age have held more re-
sponsible positions. His work in as
sisting the transportation committee
in planning two trade excursions to
the northwest was thoroughly appre-
ciated by the Omaha Commercial
club, the last excursion being provid-
ed with the finest train ever gotten
together in the west. In appreciation
of the work Mr.. Dickson has done
for the city of Omaha a splendid din
ner was given for him last Sunday
night, at which twenty Of the leading
business men and heavy shippers of
Omaha were present.

And so 1 contracted the coffee habit

the continual use Of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.

Wallace Farmer: Farmers who have
any considerable number of swine
should not forget in the rush Of work
at this season Of the year to prepare an
abundant supply Of corncob charcoal.
1t is one of the easiest jobs on the
farm. Some farmers simply rake to-
gether the dry corncobs in the yard.
and. taking advantage of a calm day,
char them. and then when the charring
is complete scatter them, put out the
fire and let the hogs eat them at will.
They are so greedy for them that they
will scarcely wait until the fire is out.
but will eat them at the risk of burn
ing their mouths.
A better way is simply to dig a round
hole, say three feet across and three
feet deep, build a good fire with WOO
in the bottom of this. fill in with corn
cobs, and when they are properly
charred through but not burned to
ashes, put on a lid of some kind to ex-
clude the air. Then add any wood
ashes that may be convenient, and salt.
When the mass is cool put 1t in a box
with a self-feed, where the hogs can
reach it, and let them eat what they
want.
You will be surprised at the amount
of this charcoal the hogs will eat. It
is not necessary to go into details as
to why they are fond of it or the eff
feet it has on the system. Whether in
man or beast, the natural appetite Is q
fairly good guide as to the real needs
of the system. That hogs fed On orn
need something of this character ia
evident from the appetite
they have for slack coal.
Give the hogs all the cob charcoal
they want. There is no loss Of fertii-
ity. for the corncob is mainly carbon
and potash. The carbon comes from
the air and the potash remains in the
soil, whether it is burned or hauled out
as manure. Therefore, there is no loss

GOWN MUST HAVE SOME COLOR.
All Black, Even with Lace or En-
broidery, Not Enough.

No ordinary black dress, except for
mourning purposes, is good enough
for the present fashion, no matter
what lace and embroidery may be
used thereon. Some color must be in
troduced either in the lining, which
shows through voile or chiffon dress
skirt, in the bands of the sleeves
or in the belt. Sometimes this bit OF
color is used in ribbon bands which
extend across the corner of the yoke
of the dress One gown of the kind
was made of black crepe de Chine,
the only touch of color being two
pieces of soft taffeta ribbon, one of
brown and the other of palest sage
green, laid in folds and placed dag
onally across the black lace yoke.
Another black dress of chiffon cloth
was trimmed with brown chiffon,
used around the waist to form a sort
of bolero, and again appearing at
intervals on sleeves, belt and collar.
A black cloth mourning dress was
made with mikado sleeves, split to the
shoulder and held in place by gradu-
ated bands of narrowest, brightest
green velvet, and the same was used
at the foot of the walking-length skirt.
