The Civil Service Rules.

Des Moines Register and Leader
Under the present civil service
rules said Postmaster S. ]. Robert
son of Fort Dodge, we are supposed
to select one of the three highest that
pass the examination for assistants.
This looks as if it would be sufficient
to get good clerk or carrier, but it
often proves entirely inadequate for
the position wanted. My contention is
that the postmaster should be allowed
to select from the whole list that
passed the examination 1t does not
follow that the one who passes the
highest is the best for the place. Cen
eral Grant was not near the head of
his class, neither was General Sher-
man, but they are acknowledged to be
the greatest generals of their time. l
believe with this change we can pro-
mote the efficiency of our office and
be just to all men. know some will
say that the postmaster would have
all his relations take the examination
and appoint them. cannot agree
with this claim The day of the
spells postmaster is over, and I be-
lieve as a class, there are no men in
the public service trying harder to
give the people good service and re-
turn fair amount of revenue to the
government than the postmaster OF the
present day"

of last week. There were $50 dele
gates. 1t was upon the soil of Clark
county, Mo, that this organization was
born more than half century ago.
according to the Gazette-Herald. 1t
now embraces six or eight states and
has membership of 10000. The
members are pledged to tne protec-
tion of life. home and property, the
specific object of the organization be-
ing to suppress crime and apprehend
criminals. 1t is, as the Gazette-Her-
aid says, "a sort of civic detective
agency recognized everywhere by Of
ficials as a great aid. within its own
peculiar province"

The Delicious Pawpaw.

Fairfield Ledger: Joseph Mullenix
of Van Buren, county was here Sat
urday with samples of rare Iowa
native fruit, the pawpaw. He lives
four miles southwest of Birmingham
on Lick Creek and three clumps of
pawpaw trees are growing on his
farm While this fruit is abundant
farther south, generally in the coun-
try of the persimmon, the genealogical
division of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, D. c., says 1t is
found in Iowa only in Van Buren, and
Lee counties but is native there in
limited quantities.
Keosauqua Republican: In another
item in this issue we speak of the
pawpaw being found native In only
two counties of Iowa-Van Buren, and
Lee. t. e. DeHart, of this place, has
pawpaw patch on his farm near
Vernon and this fall had some of the
fruit on exhibition here. The major
fty OF people who saw these pawpaws
were set a-guessing, for they had no
idea what manner of things they were.
However it did not take an old
Hoosier or Buckeye long to call tho
name.

A "HILLYn SUNDAY STORY.

In one of his recent sermons in &C.
| dar Rapids Rev. w. A. Sunday did his
| best to impress on the large congrega
ton who heard him the need of fidelity
| to the Master whom he serves. He
said that 1t usually happens that those
who are nrst to come forward in a re-
vival and profess Christ are the first
to deny Him afterwards when the real
temptations come. He was minded,
he said, to call it a ground hog case,
as he thus explained:
When the sunshine and the warm
rains of April come the ground hog
leaves his hole and comes out to feast
on the succulent vegetation. All
through the beautiful summer he re-
mains, but disappears when the storms
of Novembers are at hand and hiber-
mates during the winter. And so there
are many persons who are led out by
the warm rays of the sun of righteous
ness, by the warm rains OF meetings
such as this. They creep from their
hibernations to feast on the word of
God. They give their testimony, their
prospect seems promising, but all too
soon, they drift away from God. 1t
sometimes seems regrettable thing
that they could not go to glory during
the brief interval that they were stead.
fast in the faith
In this connection Mr.. Sunday re-
called the story of the Irishman who
went to the priest to confess a MUIR
der. The good father confessor was
shocked and he asked Pat to explain
Well" says Pat, Il was in boat
with Jew and l asked him if he be-
lived in the Holy Catholic church.
And he said no. And | took him and
held him under the water for some
time. Then l took him out and asked
him If he believed In the Holy Catholic
church. And he said No So l held
him under the water again for long
er time. When lifted him out he was
sputtering and blue in the face and
asks him, Now do yez believe in the
Holy Catholic church? And he said
Yes Then your, reverence. l ducked
MIN again and | held him under the
water for still longer time, until he
was dead, so as to make sure that he
should die in the faith"
Mr.. Sunday added that he had some
times thought that it would be good
thing if God were to send an epidemic
of typhoid and pneumonia and Asiatic
cholera and yellow fever after re-
yival and take some of this sort of con-
verts while they were safe. He frank
ly confessed that he didn't know how
the Lord is going to land them safely
in glory any other way.

Mourns His farm Like Lost Child.

IDA GROVE, Oct. 21.-Hans Hansen
sold his farm in Logan township re-
Gently for $3.50 an acre cash. Since
this he cannot sleep. The thought of
leaving the farm bsunts him day and
night. The strongest hypnotics only
bring to him brief respite from what
has grown to be mental agony Fifty
years ago Mr.. Hansen left Denmark
mere boy. He found employment in
| Chicago. married and came here about
thirty years ago Industrious, thrifty
and sober it was not long before he
owned a farm. He is an active Pres
/ byterian and he and his wife have en-
/ joyed large circle of friends both in
/ the country and in town.
During the summer he decided to
sell his farm, as he had no children
and had abundant means to live in
1 luxury the remainder of his life. Now
that the sale is made he sees every
! thing from new viewpoint. He de-
/ scribes his feelings as inconsistencies,
his grove, his orchard, his coy cot
fine cattle, the horses he has reared
from colts, the sunny hilltops of his
rugged farm have suddenly all grown
dear to him. He says his life is in
that farm and to leave it is like hav-
ing children torn from their parents
/ arms
Mr.. Hansen says his town life will
/ be enervating and purposeless, the
healthy activity of his strong body
will suffer from disuse and a prema-
ture senility will settle upon him. He
says "all this comes from selling an
Iowa farm"

In first page story printed by one

grapher who makes a specially and
takes delight in searching the columns
of country papers for similar material

"a real test of the genius can now
find employment right in the family

A fine moral is drawn by the Cedar
Rapids Gazette from the revelation
of the net value of the estate of the
late James H. Eckels. Mr. Eckels
was one of the most prominent bank
ers of the state of Illinois. He was
prominent in the national banking
world. He was also prominent In pol
tiles. Naturally he was supposed to
be worth considerable money net. But
since his death it has been discovered
that he was more successful in ac-
cumulating debts than anything else.
He died worse than bankrupt. The
Gazette thus comments:
The people who are eternally
aching for prominence ought to learn
from this that prominence does net
necessarily insure having a compel
ence: that some of the people of
prominence and alleged wealth are
anything but prosperous and happy.
Eckels is representative Of large
class of people whom poorer folks
might suppose to be extremely we'll off
and unusually happy, but who are,

Preacher Needs to &c. RELIGION.

Iowa City Republican: A Des Moines
woman, after having legally given her
child to another was SO influenced by
tae motherly love that she stole the
child and carried it away. This was
wrong, but 1t was human nature. The
mother love is too strong to recognize
legal restraint and while her act is H.
legal ,leniency is due her. She ought
to have the child and tae minister
who is keeping 1t from her must have
nothing of the love of God in his heart
or he would wave legality and restore
the caiid where it belongs. We have
read of nothing more disgusting than
the way the Rev. Horne followed the
mother under the law to rob her OF
her child If that is the spirit Of his
christianity, he ought to attend one of
Billy Sundays meetings and get re-
ligion
