HEROES AND HUSBANDS.

| Married men generally will view
 with more or less alarm the agitation of an Illinois woman for divorce on the ground that her husband "doe not measure up to the standard of heroism so evident in the leading male figures of historical novels in size, grace or daring"
 Deep down in their hearts husbands generally realize their tremendous he- roic shortcomings so beautifully con- spicuous by their absence from the makeup of historical novel gentle men. Of course, there is a quality of heroism in making a living and providing for the needs and pleasures of wife and family, of ministering to the ambitions of neighbors and friends, but it is a quality devoid of compelling interest from a purely romantic standpoint. It is prosaic heroism at best, and so closely all lied with positive duty that it needs must count for little to the purposes of this argument.
 To be a Richard Carvel in real life, though married, is entirely possible theoretically; but in its concrete as- pect the proposition presents difficult ties and endorsements not so easily overcome. The impetuOsity and vehe- mence of the love-sick swain is one thing; the real, on-the-jOb, for-better- or-for-worse devotion of the husband is quite another. There are various reasons why this should be so-good and substantial reasons, moreover. For one thing, the holy estate of mat rimOny often serves to reveal to the newly wed husband a fair and lovely creature not so quite so romantically fair and altogether lovely as ante nuptial days would seem to have indi- cated. All is not invariably kisses and signing then, as, gentle readers other than yourself, to be sure-may have found.
 And after all, the hero of the histo- rical novel is never a husband before the last chapter at best, and even then only a very young one, and not steadily at work on the assign ment. The presumption is that he set ties down in after years and be- comes something of a philosopher, and accepts the real things the gods provide with an appreciation not too analytical or questioning. He does

THE COST OF LIVING.

United States Senator Crawford of
 South Dakota has asked the depart
 ment of commerce and labor to sup ply him with a statement of facts concerning the constantly increasing cost of living in this country. It is almost three years since the govern ment went into an exhaustive inquiry on this subject, and the desirability of authentic data is more apparent now than it was in 1907. For more than a decade the tendency of prices has been steadily upward, and it is to determine the reason and responsibili- ty for this condition that Senator Crawford is pressing for information.
 There are certain natural causes which unquestionably have much to do with the advancement in prices that is evoking such general com plaint. These are recognized as un- avoidable and do not necessarily oe- NooAoh AOoShtAhCAbJ buG thOg NO ACb account for all the difference in household and living expenses, that has arisen. Hence it is of profound that the public be en- frightened. If combinations of produe- CTS have made it possible to lay a, heavier burden upon the consumer than the law of supply and demand imposes, then the sooner this is as- certained and some measure of the re- lief is devised the better. This much is owing to the people irrespective of politics or condition. Beyond that there are especial reasons why the Republican party should support ev- cry effort at searching investigation. Ever since the new tariff bill was

signed there has been a systematic attempt to place the blame for high CT prices on the Payne-Aldrieh law Insurgent Republicans. have been ae- tive in this propaganda, and the Demoehats have not overlooked their opportunity, but the most virulent and unfair agitators are certain news papers and periodicals that were de- nied the degree of revision in GUS toms schedules which they advo- eated.
 These publications are out for re- venge. They are determined to dis credit the Republican party and to- humiliate and embaTrass President Taft. The fact that some of the greatest increases in prices are on articles upon which the largest re- auctions In tariff were made, and that this effeetually nullifes the contention that new customs rates are to blame for increased prices is ignored. The public is not supposed to bother about the truth concerning duties, but is counted upon confidently to nurse its wrath regardless of cause and effect and to display it's senti- ments at the proper time. Not since the Mckinley bill was passed has there been such vicious and malig- nant campaign of misrepresentation and deliberate falsehoOd as is now under way with reference to the cost of living. It is to be hoped there is courage and diseernment enough to get at the facts aud so elueidate them for publication as to demon strate where the fault lies.

He paints not the rainbow from early morn to dewey eve the while the chickens scratch up the garden and the weeds run riot on the suburban lawn. He would become both a bore and a candidate for the poor house if he did-a most unromantic eonsummation and very devoutly not to be wished.
 Being a creditable husband is a much more practical thing than be- ing a lover of historical novel per suasion. And being a wife is no fond Juliet undertaking in all of it's essen- tial details.

GRUMBLERS NEVER WIN.

Naturally, grumblers never get on. Nature in a sarcastic mood seems to have ordained that the persistent whi- ner shall want for everything except for something to whine about. Dis appointment sardonically meets him at every turn. Misfortune ever turks in his shadow. The whine is a sig nal call to>a thousand and one little demons of distress and disaster which mock and lash, hinder and dishearten.
 A whine is a premeditated and pre- arranged failure. A whining voice means a whining character. It is a mark of weakness too inexcusable to excite pity. The broadcast charity shrinks and draws back the hand at the sound of a human whine-a sound more dismaying than the hiss of a snake
 They say that one of the things you cannot make or alter is environ ment; that it is fixed, inhexible, and that you are its helpless slave. That is a lie.
 To our own moods environment is a looking glass; it smiles back at us if we smile; if we frown, it frOwns. He who thinks the world is full of good people and kindly blessings is much richer than he who thinks the contrary.
 This is a big. busy world. It cares
Weekly journal-miner., 1909-12-22

precious little what you think of it or what faults or troubles you find in it. It is a choice that concerns yourself more than all others eombin- ed whether you groueh in the gloom, the companion of hateful goblins, or stride in the sunshine, seeing smiles and catching shreds of song.
 Men and women in Gods image were not made as whining, grumbling things. They were made to stand erect, mentally as well as physically; to labor well and joyously; to take the gifts of Providence, whether they be of joy or sorrow, and bear them eheerfully and with courage; to add ever something to the worlds store of happiness, if it be only a smile.
 Look upi See how flooded with sunshine this beautiful world is when faced with smiling eyes.

The County Institute.

The Teachers County lnsti-
tute, whichwas in progress when
we wehtto press last week, closed
Friday noon, after a series OF
very successful meetings. The
weather during the entire week
was perfect, and the attendance
of teachers and the general pub.
lie was up to hIgh.water mark ali
week. The evening lecture course
drew large audiences, and on
Thursday night, the large audlto-
rum Of the Public School Build.
ing was not nearly sufficient to
accommodate the NUM- Der who
applied for admission. Tickets,
the regular price of which was
fifty cents, brought anywhere
from rs cents to two dollars-so
ANXIOUS was the public to hear
the Concert Company.
The County institute grows In
popularity with each succeeding
year; and, of course, each costs
more than Its predecessor. In
order to provide against the In.
creased cost of lectures and en-.
tertalners, the teachers enroll
ment fee has been placed at two
dollars for next year.

Prosperous Season And Some Very
Fine Music.

Seldom, If ever, have the people of
Lakewood Grove, Spiritual Camp Of
Madison, enjoyed the excellent pro-
gram more than the one given this
season. The speakers and mediums
have endeared themselves to the large
audience at every session and we pre-
dict a very successful season.
Special mention may be added rela-
tive to the music this season. Geo.
B. Cutter is wholly new and novel,
and caught the audience at once upon
his first appearance. He is a rare
artist and entertainer, attaining the
summit of spectacular platform effect,
with deft piano accompaniment ex-
pressive, singing voice and speaking
gestures.
However, Mr.. Cutters performances
are indescribable; he captures his
audiences and sweeps them into the
spirit of enthusiastic ovation. Madi-
son Spiritual Association had never
seen such an entertainer. The audi
ence is his-their hearts in syn1pa-
thy, their hands In applause. Mr..
Cutter will appear on Saturday even
ing, Sept. Il, assisted by other talent
in descriptive, humorous monologues,
In the Lakewood theatre. Everyone
should hear this talented young man.

The Largest Number Ever Pres.
ent

The seventh annual reunion of the
Moses True family was held with
Mrs. Anna Norton Savage at her
home In Pennington, Saturday, Aug.
g. There were As present, the larg-
est number that has ever attended,
and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
1t was the hostess's birthday and
1t was a double celebration. Since
the last reunion there have been some
additions to the family but no losses
by death. Mrs. Rachel True of AL
lens Mills, widow of C. II. B. True,
and the only living one of the older
generation, was able to be present
and seemed to enjoy it as much as
the younger ones. Among those
present were: Norris True and fam
lily, F. H. Kimball, wife and baby,
and L. e. Trask and family of Mer-
Ger; Mrs. Ellen Rackliffe of Aliens
Mills; Kent Rackliffe Of Boston; g..
s. True, Miss Mary True, James and
George True of Industry; Elmer Bar
ker and wife of Wilton, John M. Craig
and family of Pennington; Frank G..
True and family of Stark Charles
Norton and his family Of Pennington
have never been able to meet with
US before and were gladly welcomed.
The father of our hostess, Level
Ign Norton, though just recovering
from a severe illness, exerted him
self in his genial way for our enter
tainment. A picnic dinner was served
in the orchard. No especial business
came before the meeting and the
same officers hold over to next year.
The next reunion will be held with
Frank G. True of Stark, the last Sat-
urday In Aug, 1910.
