We are almost out of home girls;

girls that can cuddle the little ones

There is sweet music in every
home where the heart strings are
touched by gentleness and courtesy.
The mild word, the gentle answer,
the tender act, the patient consider
ateness, will touch chords of kind
ness and make sweet melody in the
family as everywhere. A desolate,
dreary place is a home devoid of
those little courtesies which are
practiced in the best social life.

1t is the little foxes that destroy
the vines in home life. We have
known men who would lay down
their lives for their wives and chill
dren, who would almost have fits
OF apoplexy over button of a shirt

en- who would die at the stake for
their husbands, but who have an
almost unconscious habit of nagging
the poor man from morning till
night. Strange isn't 1t.

RoNEY BOYS SING FOR ITALY
Choir VIII Give Concert at First
Methodist to Help Earth
quake Sufferers.

To help the Methodist people and enable
the organizations of that church in Italy
and Sicily to extend relief to hundreds OF
orphans and widows who are walking the
streets without food and shelter, bearing
the grief Of losing husbands, fathers and
mothers, the Roney choir OF Chicago will
sing at the First Methodist church Friday
evening. The admission to the concert
will be free and a silver offering will be
taken at the close.
The assistance of the choir was secured
by DR.. Frank L. Loveland. pastor OF the
chuch. who is a long time friend of Mr..
Rooney. The minister learned that the
choir was enroute from San Francisco to
Chicago and a%rranged at once with the
director to stop in Omaha and give the
concert.
Through the church organizations the
Methodist people nave learned that literally
thousands of children who have escaped
the horrors Of the earthquake, are left
orphans and homeless. The Methodist
church alone is now caring for about 1900
little children under 5 years of age and
thousands more are turned upon the pity
and charity OF other organizations.
The idea of the church is to do some
thing de~finite-care for those now under
its protection as they should be cared for
and raise the money necessary in the
Methodist churches of the world. particu-
larly in the United States where there is
bounty.

CRATER in the Schools.

An agent for an encyclopedia has
been working Hardin county among
the teachers of the rural schools. His
methods are not the best and it is
safe to say that If he ever appears
in a certain part of Hardin county
again he will receive a warm re-
ception. In one school, although,
the teachers had all been warned
against agents by instructors in the
institute, the agent used letters he
had received from instructors in this
county as credentials, and made the
teacher think he was an exception
and had really been endorsed by
the county superintendent. He in
sisted on remaining after school with
the teacher, who asked one of the
older girls to remain with her. The
agent ordered the girl to go home
and then frightened the teacher into
signing an order for set of the
books. This particular teacher hap
pened to be new at the business and
timid and easily bluffed. The agent
tried the same tactics on another
teacher who took the stove poker
and threatened to crack his head and
he left. Now the teacher, who sign
ed the order against her better judg-
nent, will have a promissory note
turn up some day from some inno-
cont purchaser and will very likely
have to pay it. A coat of tar and
feathers and a ride to the county
line on rail would be just treatment
for such an agent. At the same time
the teacher is somewhat at fault for
not using a poker in the beginning
and letting such fellows know just
where they stand. -Eldora Herald.

Utilized the Product.

F. Nj. Keeney was the only man in
southern Iowa who utilized one pro-
duct of the state this year and he
did so to a handsome profit for his
trouble. He gathered 5000 bushels
of blue grass seed, mostly in the
western part of the state. This is
worth close to 81 a bushel. The
machine used for gathering it simply
strips the seed from the standing
grass and the yield is often eight or
ten bushels to the acre, although ii
is more likely to be five. 1t is only
another case of immense waste going
on in this land Of plenty.-Osceola

Steel Passenger Coaches.

The twenty-five new all-steel pas
senger coaches which were put in
commission recently on the Illinois
Central cannot be said to look ex-
tremely pretty on the outside. They
have an oval top with ventilators in
the ceiling and are equipped with
electric lights and gas throughout.
While the cars cannot be set down
as quite as symmetrical or artistic in
appearance as the best wooden cars,
nobody will care so much for this
as they will for the greater safety
insured by them. 1t is claimed that
it is practically impossible to tele-
scope them even if they are thrown
from the rails, which their greater
weight will tend to prevent.

Mr.. Ed Livingston, Well Known
Cigar Man, Opens New
Establishment.

1t will be good news to the many
friends in Northeastern Iowa of Mr..
Ed Livingston of Des Moines to
learn that he has again entered the
wholesale cigar business, and estab-
lished an Office and warehouse in
the Iowa Loan & Trust building at
Des Moines. For many years Mr..
Livingston has been travelling over
the state of Iowa and he is known
everywhere he goes as big hearted,
whole souled, congenial man who
never sells poor cigar and who is
always ready to do friend favor.
A few months ago he sold out, but
the factories which have produced
his cigars for so many years have in
duced him to again go into business,
and he has done so, taking an en-
tirely new line of cigars, all of which
have his personal guarantee of their
excellence and good quality. The
new brands are Eds Guarantee"
"Club Special" eds Xtra Xtra,"
Contest" Inventor" miles STAN
DISH" and Garcia" the latter three
being 1O-cent brands.
Mr.. Livingston says that in his
forty years experience he has never
been able to produce so good a cigar
for the money as Eds Guarantee"
and he hopes that all his old friends
and customers will give it trial.
His friends in DEBORAH will be glad
to have him renew his regular visits
here, and will wish him every success
in his new undertaking.

Hogs Got Drunk on Hard Swill.

Last Saturday evening l. H. Will
liams took home from the store a
lot of decayed apples and dumped
them into his swill barrel. Sunday
morning he called up his hogs, which
were twenty in number, and gave
them all the swill they could drink.
"A little while afterwards he went out
to the pasture to see about something
when he discovered something wrong
with his hogs. He climbed over the
fence when several of the hogs came
toward him showing fight. He was
forced to retreat. Safely over the
fence, he watched the manners of
the swine, and comparing the action
of drunk man to those of his hogs,
concluded that they had become
drunk on hard swill.-Atlanta Ex-
