had finished speaking, tears swept the
cheeks of those who dry-eyed had
faced privation, loss, death itself;
those who had feared neither God nor
devil We're on their knees; and out
from among them stole a woman Of
sin and threw her sobbing form at the
foot of the cross.
As the others watched her, a hush
of awe fell upon them, and breathless-
ly they waited for Heathcot to hurl
the lashes of righteous wrath that
should scourge her soul to fuller re-
pentance.
For moment he stood motionless,
his face now white, tense, ablaze with
a scathing light from his wonderful
eyes. Then as though drawn by a
magnet he turned toward the cross,
the trunk of the tall straight pine
pointing sternly upward, two branches
extending like arms outstretched in
pleading.
He stopped to the PROSTATE woman,
bent over her, speaking in low, hur-
ried voice; lifted her to her feet.
''My people" he said in tone of In
finite sweetness, Il have a new word

Easter in ItaIv.

The boys and girls of this sunny
land spend Easter morning in church
If they live in or near Rome they will
surely go to st. Peters, the largest
church in the world. There they sec
thousands of lighted candles, altars
covered with lovely flowers, and to
their ears wonderful music softly
floats. After the service is over the
whole congregation pours out on to
the sSlare facing the church, and
turninsN'1ooks up at a balcony over
the miduIe doorway. Here a figure is
seen dressed in beautiful robes. 1t is
the pope. AS he rises and lifts his
hand thousands of heads bow to re-
ce'ye his solemn Easter blessing

believing wave.
The ring of an ak cut through the
twitter of birds, end the throbbing
notes of a meado'f lark's song. On
the edge of the clearing where Heath
cot had built his log cabin, young
pine had been ripped up by the roots,
and in swift flashes, catching the light
as it rose and fell, his ak was denud-
ing the trunk of all branches except
two upper ones which on either side
extended an outstretched arm. Any
other settler would have seen in the
fallen tree only so many cords of
frewood but in every crude incident
of frontier life Heathcot beheld an in
ner spiritual meaning-saw in the
pine feled by the wind Heaven-giv
en- cross for his Easter standard when
he should preach his great revival SER
mon on the morrow.
The blood leaped in his veins as he
swung his ak with tireless energy,
and thoughts leaped to his brain in a
rising torrent of religious fervor.
Standing by the compelling form of
the cross rough-hewn from their own
prophet he would speak to his people
a word of power such as he had never
spoken before-not even in his old
church back in --.
A sudden transformation swept over
the zealots face. The angel had fled
and left only the man, the primitive
man with fierce. elemental love, jeal-
ousy hate. Crimson surged in his
cheeks; his eyes blazed.
The ak rose and fell, physical la
Dor beating into repression the stress
of his passion. But while he chopped,
cut, trimmed, while he and the helpers
summoned from the settlement bore
the cross through the woods and
planted it at the head of the plaza,
the sense of disgrace that had ruined
his career and driven him into the
wilderness still goaded his soul, for
his home life had been a house upon
the hilltop, its betrayed honor mocked
at by every little dweller of the valley.
And on the following day when the
settlers from far and near cabins gath
cred in the plaza, and Heathcot rose
from his knees and stood beside the
great pine cross to preach his Easter
sermon, unconsciously it was the
spark of personal anger that lighted
his flaming denunciation of evil.
1t was a dramatic scene. Above, a
dull, gray sky, weighed low with heavy
clouds; budding on both sides and at
the lower end of the plaza, the rude
shacks of the Settlement high walled
beyond by the trees OF the surround
ing forest; at the upper end a sweep
of open country stretching green to
the horizon. The cross of pine planted
at this end lifted its clear-cut strength
against the background of the sky.
Equally strong stood out the frontier
preacher in his top boots, his cordu.
roys, his crimson sweater, likewise
strong in bearing the men and women
of his congregation who had left the
male ways of pleasantness and peace
to blaze a new trail in history.
Only a man like Heathcot, who lived
and labored and fought with them,
side by side, shoulder to shoulder,
could have touched them, quickened
the spiritual within, and the vision Of
power that had flashed before him
while he was hewing the cross the
day before was fulfilled. When he

NO RELIEF.

AS we predicted during the presiden-
tiai campaign of last year the people
will probably get no relief from tariff
robbery through the election of Mr..
Taft. That our prediction is apt to
prove good is corroborated by Walter
Weiiman, correspondent for the Chicago
Record Herald, who predicts now that
the senate will block all legislation
favorable to the people in the way eff
tariff reduction. Under date Of March
Ill; at Washington, he writes:
That serious trouble is coming to
the Taft administration over tariff re-
vision is believed by the best informed
men in congress.
Already combination has been
formed in the senate to prevent the
lowering of any duties which any i'm
portant interest wants kept virtually
at the present level.
UNLESS the combination breaks down
the act which finally comes out of the
senate hopper will be high protection
measure pure and the combination is
not likely to fall to pieces. 1t is bound
together by the most persistent and
enduring cement, human selfishness.
Everyone is trying to find out what
committee on ways and means has done
about the various schedules. Such in
formation as can be obtained is inter-
esting, but not highly important. The
committee on ways and means is not
making tariff bill; lit is only suggesting a
bill. The house is not to make tariff bill;
it will only propose one. The senate is
the final arbiter. The house proposes
and the senate disposes.
"And the combination that has been
formed in the senate already feels sure
that it will have it's way on every dis
puted point. What this means is that
tho high protectionists are in the sad
die and intend to stay there.
MARX my prediction, said leading
senator, a member of the combination;
when bill finally gets out of the SEN
ate it will be the Dingley law over
again. There may be few reductions
here and there, cuts to which nobody
seriously objects. But that is all. We
do not care rap what the ways and
means committee or the house may do
we know what we are going to do
show will President Taft like that?' |

1t seems that United States judges
are now the arbiters of the amount of
profit that corporations shall earn.
Judge Mcpherson has ruled that a rail
road shall earn six per cent on the cap
ital stock. The Legislature of Missouri
said that the railroads must not charge
but two cents per mile for the carriage
of passengers. Judge Mcpherson says
that two cents is contiscatory. The
legislature said that it was not. We do
not know how it is in Missouri, but
there will be some flying of fur in Iowa
If an attempt is made to go back to
three cents. The railroads in Iowa had
better let we'll enough alone. Nj t.

Usually the bowels are not so active
In middle or advanced years as in youth.
Just as the eyes grow dim, the skin

TEMPLE ADVISES DROPPING
CONTEST.

In an interview given at Council
Bluffs recently, Col. Nj. L. Temple, of
Osceola, chief counsel for Col. Hepburn
in the contest OF the election of W. D.
Jameson, as congressman Of this district
last fall, stated he had sent Hepburn
tabulation of the votes in the counties
thus far canvassed, with the suggestion
that further proceedings in the contest
be dropped.
"a very embarrassing feature of the
matter has been" said Colonel Temple
in discussing the matter, that in the
first place Colonel Hepburn did not
want to contest. lie said that if the
majority of the voters of the Eighth dis
trict did not want him as their repre-
sentative, he would step down and out.
But some of his friends prevailed upon
him, finally. that the ballots were i'm
properly counted at the time of the
election it was his duty to give his
friends the opportunity of proving that
fact and let them be recounted.
Thus far recount has been made in
Eve counties, Union, Adams, Appanoose,
Page and Lucas, Mr.. Hepburn making
total gain of ~ votes and Mr.. Jameson
"a, leaving net gain for Mr.. Hepburn
of Is votes. The gains and losses were
as follows: Hepburn gained i'll Union
county , votes; Adams county, 20; in
Page county, 20: Mr.. Jameson gained
"A votes in Appanoose county and in
Lucas there was no change.
I'm the light of this fact of Hepburn's
early indisposilion for a contest, it is
somewhat of an embarrassing situation
for US. It's hard to let go. Then, too,
Col. Hepburn has been surrounded by a
party of fast friends i'll Washington, who

The Secret Of STYLE.

Style is in very small degree the
deliberate and designed creation of
the man who therein expresses him
self. The self that he thus ex-
presses is bundle of inherited tend
encies that came, the man himself
can never entirely know whence. 1t
is by the instructive stress Of q
highly sensitive or slightly abnor-
nal constitution that he is impelled
to distill these tendencies into the
alien magic Of words. The stylus
wherewith he strives to write him
self on the yet blank pages of the
world may have the obstinate vigor
Of metal rod or the wild and
quavering waywardness of an in
sect's wing, but behind it lie forces
that extend into infnity. 1t moves
