a familiar tale from the an
Hindoo collection, Ocean of
Rivers of Narrative" through
rious versions, in many cent
and languages.
The Hindoo tale is in brief So
thing like this: A rich man said
his treasurer in the hearing o
musician who had entertained hun
"Give this man 1000 panas." The
treasurer, replying that he would dc
as ordered, went out. The minstrel
asked for the panas, but was re-
fused. On appealing to the rich
man the musician received this re-
spouse: "What did you give me that

forded short lived pleasure to my
ears by playing on the Tyre, and I
gave a short lived pleasure to your
ears by promising you money"
In Gladwih's Persian Moonshee''
a poor poet recites verses in praise
of wealthy man, who promises
him quantity Of grain, but later
says to him: "You are q blockhead
You delighted me with words, and

then, should | give you grain |"

cells entered his dining room and
seasoned his bowl Of rice. The man
with the eels presented his bill for
the odor of the fish. Kisaburo laid
out the money asked for ON the bill
and began to chat with him. When
the man was about to leave Kisabu-

New Hunters License Law.

The hunters license law both for
residents and non-residents, which
will take effect July 4th, 1909. pro-
hibits the hunting of all persons un-
der the age of is years without the
written consent of his parents or
guardian. All other persons before
hunting or pursuing game must take
out a license. and if a resident OF
the state of Iowa the fee will be one
dollar; if nonresident the fee will
be ten dollars for any portion of the
state. A minor under the age of IS
years can procure such license by the
written consent of his parents or
guardian. This law does not give
the license any further privileges on
hunting than they have at the pres
ent time, and the license holder can
only hunt according to the terms of
the law as they are now.

To Build New Road.

Phil Carolan of Bluffton was in the
city Saturday, raising subscription
list to purchase the land for the con-
struction of new road which Will
be of great advantage to the resi-
dents of Button township and De-
corah as well. The new proposed
road will start at the Thomas bridge
four miles northwest of DEBORAH and
run in a northwesterly direction on
on top OF the ridge, joining the pres
ent road az James Curran's. This
will make a fine road, will save
three or four miles between DEBORAH
and Cresco and will probably become
the main road between the two
cities. 1t will also avoid and render
practically useless new $4,000
bridge, which might have been saw
ed, we are told, if the board of SUI
pervisors had exercised little fore
sight and wisdom at the time it was

WATERSON On TAFT.

Nothing so we'll illustrates the es-
TEEN in which President Taft is held
by the whole country, regardless of
section and party. as the sentiments
expressed by Mr.. Henry Watterson,
the famous democratic editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, in his
son said:
To-day it is Lincoln's example
which moves q calm, enlightened and
patriotic occupant of the Presiden-
tial office-like himself a lifelong
Republican and a Republican par
tisan-to reach forth his arms as if
to clasp in their embrace the whole
people, seeking to win the good
opinion, yearning for the approval,
of each and every one of them.
Whether they give 1T in detail, or
divide upon the incidental issues Of
the time, they will not withhold it
in the aggregate; and, since a Wig
orons opposition is indispensable to
COOL government his wise nlrdera-
ton and transparent integrity give
lis the promise of an OPP ,sit,on ba.s d
upon principal rather than faction,
self-respecting and respectful, up
right, clean, and kind.
From such partyism nothing is to
be feared, because it leaves us free,
when dangers come, to forget that
We are Republicans, to forget that we
are Democrats, remembering only
that we are Americans"
Without any desire to unduly en-
phasize the good judgment displayed
by Mr.. Taft thus far during his ad
ministration, it can be said that his
judicial temperament and deliberate
action will undoubtedly result in
fewer mistakes than has been the lot
CT any president since Lincoln.
