Gave Them A Serenade.

1t isn't every train crew that is in
readiness at all times to furnish a
proper serenade for newly married
couples who board their train for a
honeymoon trip. But the one running
the Rock Island flyer between Audi
bon and Atlantic is an exception.
Jack Lemon, the conductor, is first
rate hand having a large experience
and an abundance of good humor.
Then he is ably assisted by H. S.
Linn and VIM. A. Hall, brakemen;
Geo. hurry, Engineer: Carl Walker,
fireman and j. f. WEIGH, the mail
clerk. One morning when Hall saw
the early train draw in at the Allan
tic station he spied COW bell hanging
at the door of one of the coaches,
which made him think of wedding
cake and serenades; he swiped the bell
and had it in readiness for the first
opportunity. So when our young
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Fl. Brown.
got aboard at Hamlin last Thursday
for the purpose of eluding their Audi
bon friends, Hall got his cow-bell,
wound it up and hung it up in the end
of the coach where it rang at proper
intervals all the way to Atlantic
Travel by the Rock Island. Serenades
furnished by the train crew on short
notice.

house in the town of East Haver-
hill, Mass, where Whittier was born
100 years ago, Is still standing, and
this and the modest but dignified
house in Amesbury, Mass, so long
his home, are now preserved in af-
fectiOnate remembrance Of the poet.
The latter has been gone q little more
than fifteen years, as his death oc-
Cured in Hampton Falls, n. H., OH
Sept. Z, 1892. All over the land the
day of his birth will be remembered,
and in New England. especially in the
towns associated with his career, there
will be exercises appropriate to the an
niversary, among them a memorial
meeting at the place of his birth under
the auspices of the Whittier club of
Haverhill, with addresses by Professor
Bliss Perry, Frank B. Sanborn and
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. Whittier was
a true poet Of the people, and the an
niversary appeals not only to the lit
erary critics, but to young and old Of
every class wherever the English Ian
guage is read and spoken.
There are some facts about the ca
reer Of the gentle poet that indicate
that even a bard Of his unusual lyrical
powers must often concern himself
with things that are extremely prosaic.
For instance when he was studying at
the academy at Haverhill he supported
himself by making slippers, and he did
not indulge in any poetic fancles on
the subject Of finance, for he calcu-
lated his expenses so closely that he
knew at the beginning of the term
that he would have % cents to spare
at its close, and he actually had just
this sum in his pocket when his half
year of study was over. He was then
about twenty, and the first Of his
poems to appear in print, "The Exile's
Departure" had just been published in
William Lloyd Garrison's Newburyport
Free Press. Garrison did much to aid
Whittier to live while making his way

The Iowa Homestead.

Good farming, based on sound
principles of science and practice, was
never more important or profitable
than now. The Homestead, an agri-
cultural and live stock paper publish
ed every Thursday at Des Moines,
Iowa, is the best exponent of good
farming. The Homestead is edited by
farmers who live upon and operate
their ownf arms right here in the mid
die west; so that their teachings are
thoroughly practical. 1t has depart
ments devoted to horticultural, poul-
try, sheep, dairy, veterinary, laws
affecting farmers, current events,
house and home, Sunday school les
son, editorial comment, live farm Cos
sip, etc., and its contributors include
able and successful farmers and exper-
iment station experts throughout the
west. Many farmers in this vicinity
are already subscribers for the Home
stead and all should be; as whatever
adds to the practical knowledge of the
farmers increases the value of land
and enhances the prosperity of the
community. We take subscriptions
for this splendid farm paper at this
office; and, by special arrangement
with the publisher, can give you a low
subscription rate for it in connection
with The Republican.

FAVORED FREE SILVER
Cumintns' Letter to DIR. Gorrell in
1903 Clear and Positive.

In September, 1893. after Senator
Allison had voted to repeal the silver
purchase clause of the Sherman law,
Governor Cummins, then as now, 4
candidate for the United States senate,
wrote as follows to DIR. Gorrell, of
Newton, Ia, free silver state sena-
tor:
The experience OF nations, has.
think, demonstrated one fact beyond
reasonable controversy-namely that
all currency must be convertible or
redeemable in coin, having intrinsic
value. To create the requisite conf
dence among the people the currency
other than coin must not be dispro-
portionate to the amount of coin avail.
able for use. These considerations
render single gold standard absolute
ly impossible or at least excessively
large volume of currency or sub
sldiary coins that must rest upon it.
therefore | am in favor of the free
coinage of silver, not only of Amerl-
can silver, but of all silver, being abb
solutely sure that it will not and can
not be coined to excess"

upward in the literary world. 1t has
always been hard for q poet to earn
his bread and butter simply by the
sale of his rhymes, and in the days Of
Whittier's early manhood the fruits Of
literary toll of this kind were meager
indeed. Thus we find him at one pc
Rod Of his early career engaged in the
unpoetic task Of editing the American
Manufacturer and porting over reports
Of crops and statistics of industries.
His participation in the controversy
over slavery aroused his enthusiasm
for what he believed to be the right

Of pamphlets and other contributions

not cause In which there was much

brought him some pecuniary reward.
But the poets income was small and
uncertain until he was past middle
life. Yet he was never in debt, and
he made 1t rule of his life never to
buy a thing until he had the money in
hand to pay for 1t.
1t seems strange now that there could
ever have been anything but love and
veneration for so dndly and noble a
character as Whittier. But 1t cannot
be forgotten that even IN New Eng
land, where his name is so much rever-
enced today, he was once mobbed and
on another occasion his Office was sack
ed and burned by opponents Of the
abolitionists. Feeling ran high over
the issues of those times, and the man
who was more than any other the poet
of the abolitionist cause suffered along
with other early opponents Of these
ideas. In these days there is general
acceptance Of the view expressed by
George D. Prentice when he introduced
to readers of the New England Review
the poet he had engaged as its editor,
mo rational man can ever be the en-
envy of Mr.. Whittier"
