AND THE YEARS ROLL ON.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe Celebrates Her
Ninetieth Birthday.

Boston, Mass, May 27.-Mrs. Julia |
Ward Howe, writer, philosopher and
reformer, celebrated her ninetieth |
birthday quietly today at her charm |
ing home on Beacon street. Her chill
dren, Mrs. Maude Howe Elliott, Mrs.
Florence EoWe Hall, Mrs. Laura e.
Richards and Prof. Marion Howe, of
Columbia, spent the day with her, and,
with the exception of a few intimate
friends, no visitors were received by
the old lady. Mrs. Howe appeared in
good health and spirits and seemed to
have lost but little of her old-time
energy and her interest for matters of
national Importance.
In the course of the day many beau
tiful and costly gifts of flowers ar
rived for the venerable jubilar from
all parts of the city, and many others
bore the cards of admirers in other
cities and states. Hundreds of con-
gratulatory letters and kilograms
from all parts Of the world testified to
the high esteem and admiration felt
| for the "Grand Old Woman of Ameri-
| ca" throughout the civilized world.
| AS usual the Greek and Italian organ

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
DIR. Roger A. Smith Receives Painful
Injuries From q Runaway Team
This Morning.

This Morning.
From Thursdays Daily.
DR.. Roger A. Smith, while crossing
at James and Walnut streets, the Bank
of Wayne corner, this morning met
with a most painful accident that
would doubtless have cost him
his life but for the proyidential break
ing of the strap that dragged him. He
was afoot, and just as he stepped up
on the sidewalk of James street, a
runaway team passed him, dragging,
Or swinging rather, the iron weighted

weighted end swung round DR.. Smiths
ankle, jerking him with sudden and
, great force to the ground, he striking
ging him some twenty PAGES, when as
suddenly the strap snapped, leaving
him prone and unconscious, while the
team dashed on.
Persons in the vicinity who saw the
fearful accident, rushed to DIR. Smiths
I assistance, fearing him dead; but tt
their great satisfaction they founG
that, while he was badly bruised abou
the head and shoulder and his leg, yet
no bones were broken, and he sooI
regained consciousness, showing tha
his brain had sustained no serious
shock.
DIR. Smith received prompt medical
attention from his professional breth-
rem, who are still alert and solicitous
and at this hour he is resting COM
fortably at his home.
We all feel grateful that his life was
spared and hope he may soon be Out

the foltieth anniversary of the clubs

Mrs. Howe's birthday, and the venera-

Which do you think won?

Not long ago two men, athletes, went
into a contest to see which could stand
erect and hold his arms stretched out
full length at either side of his body for
the longer time. One mar had fed on
steaks and chops, sausage, ham, roast
beef, ETC.. the other ate heartily, but con-
fined himself to such foods as Quaker
Oats, rice. macaroni, etc. Which do you
think held out longer?
The first man lasted twenty-five min
utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice
chap concluded to stop after he had been
at it more than three hours.
There's more strength and economy in
eating lots of Quaker Oats than most
people imagine.
Every family should eat plentifully Of
Quaker Oats at least once every day;

A FARM VIEWS.

A farmer giving hi postofiice ad
dress as Bookings writes an interest
ing letter to the Huron State Spirit
giving his views on the question of
the farmer in politics. He says:
There is, perhaps, no controversy
in the mind of any person but that
it is the duty of every citizen to-
exercise the right of franchise, and
it should be a pleasure to do so. If
a duty, then the citizen should become
informed. The writer makes the in
~controvertible statement that a large
majority of voters who vote either
of the numerous political tickets, from
the laboring or farming ranks, can
not tell one single step in the potent
series of legislation. They cannot tell
why such remedial action cannot be
passed by the legislature of a state
or by the congress of the United
States. Their ideas on the routine
are simply vague. They do not know
where the combination starts. They
cry against the combines. They do
not know who piles up the first little
pile of combustible material, or who
applies the slow consuming match to
the death of long cherished desires
and demands of the common people.
What is the remedy for this con-

talked by the political aspirants, nor
political parties and their adherents,
but a political school in every school
house in the state to- give information
of what is being done, of how these
reforms of every character are quietly
chloroformed, not by the legislature,
not by congress, but by the farmer
voter.
What has influenced the farmer vot-
err to follow the old messy rut, moth
ing can account for except lethargy
in maintaining the most sacred rights
of the farmer and laborer. There is
a viper in the bosom and the fumes
thereof dull the senses of the man to
the extent that a proper equilibrium
is o maintained. In a short series
of years an intelligent use of the bal
lot could give n needed legislation
now in the minds of the people, either
state or national. Then why not get
busy and cease berating this, that or
the other agency? 1t requires a close
observer, a diligent student, to gath
er the data sufficient to make n
sure of his ground in making the
above statements. The observations
must be made at the portals Of the
state and national capitols as well as
in the home precincts. The man who
hands the knowledge to the voter must
not be an aspirant for official prefer
ment. He must not talk of the princi-
pies of political parties. It is practi-
cal legislation, that is asked for by
the people.
IF we are to receive practical legis-
lation we must use practical means to
obtain the same. If we have not re-
ceived practical legislation then it is
fair to say that we have not used
practical agencies to obtain our de-
sires. This reaches the center of all
political action, with fog and old trash
thrown into the bonfire and nothing
but clean sailing for our activities
the desires and demands of the peo-
pie enacted into law, and all Of the
vital, good and true principles of all
political parties flying in true colors,
not iljuring any lie, and not one of
the principles with a manned wing"

1905 and 1906 average; and in 1909 is
again showing recovery. The trade
with other countries of the world has
shown very slight fluctuations, the to-
tai exports to all countries other than
China being in the ten months ending
with April, 139 millions, 1905, 17S mil
lions; and 1909, 100 millions-these fig
ures being in all cases for the ten
months ending with April.
To no other country are the exports
as large as to China, even in the years
of depression. In 1908, when the low
est record of exports to China during
the last fifteen years was made, the
value of cotton cloths sent to that coun-
try was more than twice as great as
to any other country, Cuba coming
next in rank, then Chill, British Aus
tralasia, Philippine Islands, Colombia
and Canada, in the order named. In
the ten months ending with April, 1909,
the quantity Of cotton cloths sent to
China was 100,116,737 yards, against
$685. 500 to Alden, Arabia, 16.S63,S33 to
Cuba, 12,943,244 to Colombia, 1O,647,057
to British East Indies and S,S36,501 to
the Philippine islands.
While consideration Of the figures OF
the cotton goods trade with China for
single years is liable to be misleading
because Of the great fluctuations in that
trade, It may be said that the growth
of movements Of American cotton
cloths to China has been in recent years
much greater than to other parts OF
the world. The total value Of cotton
cloths exported to China in the decade
ending with 1908 slightly exceeded that
to all other countries of the world COM
bined, while in the decade ending with
1898 those to China were not more than
one-half as great as those to all other
parts Of the world. In quality and
prices the cotton cloths sent to China
differ considerably from those sent to
other parts of the world, being as a
rule heavier goods, intended for the
temperate climate Of North China, the
prices, however, being slightly less. the
average export price Of the cottons sent
to China usually ranging a fraction OF
a cent per yard lower than the average
sent to all other parts Of the world.

Wanted His Dues.-A reservation
Indian was disconsolate over the
breaking of his axe handle. He laid
his misfortune before the farmer" Of
the reservation, who, through pity,
took a handle from his private stock
and adjusted 1t to the axe. The farmer
then noticed that the axe was shock
ingly dull. SO, mOtioning the owner
to turn the grindstone, he expended a
half hours time in sharpening the
blade. When the rehabilitated axe
was given to the Indian, he was child
ishly gleeful, but still fingered about,
indicating by his actions that some
feature of the transaction had not been
adjusted.
The farmer was little annoyed and
