sary.
$ld Rain-in-the-Face died not long
ago and his epitaph is found in the
fippant paragraph that the Sioux
warrior and chieftain is at last good
Indian.
, Every redskin who ever raised his
hand against a white man is dubbed
a bad Indian. Rain-in-the-Face living
was of service to the world. He add
ed picturesqueness and spirit of
sayagery to the dull canvas of civil
lized life. Something is lost every
time that one of the old-time warriors
of the plain goes to tie land where
the buffalo grass is always green and
where the herds await the Indian
hunter.
In the deaths of most of the great
Indian chiefs of old there was always
some tragic note. Most of them met
violent deaths. Perhaps. Geronimo,
who passed away at Fort Sill, Okla,
some months ago, was the only one of
many aged chieftains to die a natural
death. The Indians picture of the
happy hunting ground is said by stu
dents to have made violent death the
safest mode of entrance to the portals
of the redskin heaven in the Indian
mind. The quality of bravery dis
played, the Indians also believed in
the old days, had much to do with
thsIr happiness after death, and as a
cdvsequence to die fighting for their
tribe was the aim of most of the old
school of warriors.

Most of these chiefs were Chris
tians-in way. The water of bap-
tism sprinkled but it never washed
the war paint from their heathen
hearts. The only good thing the
white men ever offered them was his
religion, but they suspected it as they
succumbed to its outward forms. 1t
takes more than a prayer or two and
more than little water from a font
to remove from the administering
clergyman the suspicion which the
red man attached to all of the white
race as the result of "a century of
dishonor."
Out at Pine Ridge Is years ago the
little Episcopal mission church was
turned into hospital for the care of
the wounded survivors of the band of
Big Foot, the Sioux chief. The pews
and the altar had been removed and
straw had been strewn on the floor
and there lay the stricken women and
children-all the men of the band had
met death-every one sore wounded
by the bullets of the soldiers.
Where the altar had been lay the
wife of a chief and her four little
children, bearing the pain of their
wounds with what we are pleased to
call savage stoicism. The sun came
up over the pine-topped ridges and
sent its light through the stained-glass
window over and above the place of
the altar.
The red and the yellow and the
blue fell upon the family group, and
on the blankets covering the wounded
children one read, transmitted by the
sun and the glass, the words: GLORY

The best pleasure is the purest pleas
.ure. There are roses without thorns.
The busy man must have some pleas
ure, some recreation, some relaxation.
He ought not to have it on the street
with g~ossiping chatterers, or at the
gambling table with the dissolute or
wanton. He ought to find it at home.
He ought to do something in which
his family could have a part. 1t ought
to be pure elevating, stimulating. The
man that is so considerate and equi-
posed, that will make this matter no
secondary affair, but give it the best
thought of his life, will make a better
man, a moral citizen, more ~considerate
husband, more loving father. He will
find his family ties strengthening. so
that as his children grow to manhood
and womanhood, no place will be 30
attractive to them as the fireside at
home. These are the pleasures that
remain, that do not winter with time,
that do not grow bitter with the years.

ADAMS TOWNSHIP
GROWING CANE
TURN OUT QUANTITY OF MO
LASSES NEAR BLAkESBURG
YIELDS GOOD RETURNS

Blakesburg, Sept. 21.-(Special.) y
Few, perhaps, are aware that Wa
pello county grows sugar cane, and so
frequent is the sight of growing corn
that the ordinary person, not familiar
with farm products, when driving
through the country, may not notice
the difference between corn and cane.
1t is well known face among many
of the farmers that cane can be raised
in the county as well as corn and it is
a wonder that more is not raised.
Near Blakesburg there is a patch of
sugar cane that is cultivated with a
profit and it's owners have not as yet
found occasion to cut out the growing
of the sweet stalks. Four miles out
from Blakesburg on the Leatherby
farm one may see twenty-five acres of
as fine cane as is grown in any of the
southern states. The profit from rails
ing the cane is fairly lucrative and
the Leatherbys expect to get sixty
cents per gallon at the factory for the
syrup. They have the necessary ma
chinery for handling the cane and
making the syrup. Adams township is
the largest cane producing section of
the sixth congressional district. A
force of fifteen men and an output of
100 gallons of molasses per day is the
record for the Leatherbys the past
week.

Mr.. Baker has been in evangelistic,

of converts. He is intensely in earn

vorably with any Oh the leading evan

ing sermon was upon the subject OF
"Sonship, and the evening address on
the reason for Christ's appearance
after the resurrection. At the close of
the evening service conservation
meeting was held in which the Chris

themselves to better service. Pro -

ing a man in her room. The burglar,

that led to an upstairs window. Old
clothes were scattered over the tin
roof of the porch and the entrance
was effected without awakening any
one. After getting into the ROOM how
ever, the young daughter of Mr.. Smith

daughter badly frightened, but the
