Famous Cambridge University Honor
Won by Chilean Student.
The last senior wranglership to be
given by Cambridge university in Eng
land was awarded to P. ]. Daniel Of
Valparaiso. Chile. Mynott Neville of
London obtained second place, and
Louis ]. Wordell. son Of Phineas Wor-
dell OF Philadelphia, was third.
The keenest interest was taken in
this competition, and the presence of
the South American students gave the
contest an international aspect.
Louis ]. Wordell, who came near
winning the last senior wrangleship,
Is anxious that a wrong impression
should not get abroad respecting his
objections to being coached for the
examination.
IF had been coached" he said, II
should not have done az well as I did.
This I know from past experience"
For the last $50 years and probably
longer the term senior wrangler has
been given at Cambridge to the man
who was first in the annual examina-
ton qualifying for the bachelor of arts
degree in mathematical honors. The
custom now has been abolished.

England's Richest Women.
The latest craze in furnishing is the
all black ballroom. The fashion was
set by Mrs. Houldsworth Of London.
one of the richest women in England.
who inherited most Of the money left
by the late Mr.. Assheton-Smith. The
walls Of her drawing room. according
to q London cable dispatch, are Of
solid black ebony, with a deep frieze
of gold flowers.
Above the frieze is line Of mirrors,
and in these are reflected electric
lamps. each inclosed in a golden lily
which stands out in high relief from
an ebony panel. The effect is to throw
up the bright colors Of the women's
dresses, and the long line of mirrors
prevents any touch Of somberness.
Lady Drogheda, who only recently
returned from a very up to date
honeymoon. was SO fascinated by Mrs.
Houldsworth's ballroom that she is

FARMERS ON WHEELS.

At the moment when Marshalltown

guaranteeing 1000 tickets and to the
fact that the crowds drawn to the city
by the entertainments We're not salts
factorily large the farmers came for
ward and got under the ticket guar
autee These We're the class of farm
ers who had lined up their automobiles
for several blocks in either direction
outside the tent. During the evening
as we drove out of the city these auto
cars laden with women and children
from the farms shot overthe tops of the
hills like sky rockets and whisked by
at thirty mile speed on to the chautau-
qua. After more than a dozen, all driv-
en- by farmers, had been passed in less
than mile it dawned upon the OBJ
server where all the automobiles were
going to. The auto car is putting the
well-to-do farmer OF Iowa on wheels.
1t is bringing him as close to the en-
tertainments of the city as the city
dweller with twelve blocks to walk 1t
IS building 'nterurban service from his
door yarG 20 his grocer's store.
The farmer is largely responsible for
the enormous expansion of the auto
mobile business and promises to be-
come more of a factor~ince he has real
use for car. Last year some $4,000
cars were manufactured in the United
States. Next year 1t is 'conservatively
estimated that not less than 10000
cars and possibly 100000 will be made
AT an average price this would amount
to 225 million, dollars worth Of auto
mobiles in one;year.
Already the Standardization of auto
mobiles is in progress, the General
Motors Company having bought up eac-
tories with a combined output of 30
900 machines a year. In the lower
priced cars American ingenuity has far
surpassed European and today this
country is exporting cars Of the cheap
er grades to all European countries, but
the day of still cheaper prices and bet
ter machines for the price is coming
last as can De seen in tho long price GO
<G.500,oo0 paid for one factory in excess
of the company's original investment.
AS the price goes down more farmers
will come forward. and there will be,no
end to output except the question of
good roads.

A Burglars Advice.

I take my pen in hand to write you
an answer to the mug that signs his

tell him the only way to be safe from
harm by burglars is to lay still when
they tells you to and after they has
gone to collect from the burglary in
surance company.
Your man "Victim" is dull guy it
he thinks a bolt will stop any one that
knows his trade, because we always
puts a gimlet hole thru the panel right
back of the bolt and slides it back quiet
and easy just the same way as we puts
holes thru the panel back Of dead
catches on outside doors, because there
amt nothing will stop a man that
knows the trade only a steel door with
an iron crossbar back of dt and electric
contacts all around.
What's more is that any man that
sleeps with a pistol under his pillow Is
a chump, because that's where we al
ways feels for 1t the first things and
gets 1t before proceeding to the BUSH
ness of the evening. the right place to
keep a pistol being in the front hall

to do no damage to the bedroom walls

OF time to get hold of your gun with

THE FORT DODGE DEMONSTRATION,

Senator Dolliver was welcomed home
yesterday by great popular demon
stration. Senator Dolliver has been in
congress and the senate for twenty
years or more and this is the first great
popular pageant aroused in his honor
SO the question is legitimate TO ask
why does it come now?
Thereby hangs tale, the true tell
Ing of which should read as a guide
book to all public officers who would
win the plaudits of the people whom
they serve. Senator Dolliver has dared
defy the machine politicians of the ma
tion in defense of the public welfare.
He has in this last session thrown TO
the winds all thought of committee
favors from the system to advocate
and actually fight for the public veal
in opposition to the greed of private
interests, and great public demon
stration of the peoples gratitude
awaited him on his return.
There was no cOnS1derdulOn given 10
what the machine would do to him in
IOWA for we have the primary law in
iowa now, you know, and then, too
Blythe is dead. The people are rum
ming their own politics under a state
wide primary and their representa-
+ives are now working for them and
not for the political ring which hap
pens to be in power. 1t may be said
to the senator's credit that he prob
ably prefers his new masters to the
old but the fact remains that during
the last session there came mighty
change in Mr.. Dolliver and this change
was appreciated. 1t was so evidenced
when he stepped from the railway train
at FIT. Dodge 1t is being evidenced by
the press of the state. 1t will have
much to do with future politics It Of
fers an object lesson to all am
billions.

WEBSTER City F1eenan-Tribune.]
The Freeman Tribune dominates AL
bert B. Cummins for president of the
United States to succeed William How
ard Taft in 1912.
The west has been toadying to the
east long enough. The west has been
loyal to the interests of the east and
is still loyal to the real interests Of the
common people of the east. But the
west Is weary of unjust tariff sched-
ules and is going to keep lighting for
the square deal until victory is won.
There is just one public man in the
west who can assume real leadership
in the fight. There is just one man in
the west who combines all the elements
of personal magnetism public record,
courageous independence and a con-
sistent history covering twenty-five
years of political activity to make him
the successful standard bearer 1t is
hardly necessary to mention this mans
name 1t is household word in Iowa
1t is q name which inspires confidence

Ida County Pioneer]
We heard the other day of young
girl not thousand miles away from
Ida Grove, who tried to run away
from home because she wanted to
see the CITY," but fortunately fate in
terfered with her plans.
Little girl, you better stay right
where you are. Yes. we know you
have worked hard, that life is the
same old story every day, and that
everybody else in the world seems
to be having a good time but you.
Why do we know 1t without your
telling? Simply because it is an old.
old story. You have formed an idea
that your parents and those around
you are very uninteresting people,
that your life is duh, and people are
keeping you from having a good
time The fact Of the matter Is,
little girl, that you have great cause
to thank your maker for all the
blessings that are yours, and that If
your life seems dull and uninterest-
ing. it is because you make it so.
This world was not made wholly for
the purpose of amusing you, and per-
haps it has slipped your mind but
the time has come when those unin-
teresting parents of yours should be
receiving some consideration from
you. Did it ever enter your mind
that perhaps one reason they do not
seem quite so lively as some people
you have read about in the colored
supplements or yellow back novels, is
| the fact that they have spent years Of
hard work in providing for you.
| 1t is the old story of the moth and
[ the flame, little girl, and the end of
the story is always the same. We hope
not for your sake, but If you ever
turn your back on that old home and
carry out your idea of going "to see
the CITY," we fear the day will come,
before many months, when you will
pray to God as you never prayed be-
fore that they will come and take you
back to the love, peace and quiet life
that now seem so uninteresting.
