The Courage Of Opinions.

The ways in which people form
their opinions are most remarkable.
Every man, when he begins his rea-
sonable life, finds certain general opin-
ions current in the world. He is
shaped by these opinions in one way
or another, either directly or by reac-
ton. If he is soft and plastic, like the
majority Of people, he takes the opin-
ions that are about him for his own.
If he is self-assertive and defiant, he
takes the opposite of these opinions
and gives to them his vehement ad-
herence. We know the two kinds
we'll, and as we ordinarily see them,
the fault which is at the root of both
is intellectual cowardice. One man
clings servilely to the old ready-made
opinions which he finds, because he is
afraid Of being called rash and rad
zeal; another rejects the traditions Of
his people from fear of being thought,
fearful and timid and a slave.-Phil.

Mason City, April 26.-Lying dam
gerously i'll at the home Of her par
ents, in chicago, Mrs. Nicholas J..
Varallo No. 8, until recently Of this
city, refuses to prosecute varallo on a
bigamy charge. Varallo was arrested
here a week ago, on information sworn
out by ST.. Dreager, of Chicago, whose
wife is the sister Of Mrs. Varallo No.
8. Varallo's second matrimonial ven
ture was in June 1907, and followed
divorce from his first wife. This Sec
ond wife was Maria Albino, and they
were married in ST. Joseph, Niche 1t
is alleged that Vara1lo never secured
a divorce from the second wife, and he
states that his marriage with her was
invalid, because 1t occurred less than
a year after he received divorce
from Mrs. Varallo No. 1. This he
said MAKES his third marriage legal,
and frees him OF the biga1ny charge.
Varallo plays second violin in a To-
cal orchestra. He married his third
wife, Miss Emma Fritz, of Chicago
here only a short time ago. AS soon
as Varallo was arrested, his wife left
for the home of her parents, in Chi
cago. The shock was too great for
her, and she is now so seriously i'll that
her immediate relatives fear for her
life. Thru S. j. Dreager, comes the
word that Mrs. Varallo No. 3 can not
stand the scandal and the publicity OF
the proceedings against her supposed
husband. She proposes to settle the
trouble quietly in private, and at a
later time. Varallo has been under
bonds OF $1,000, but they have now
been exonerated and he is now entirely
free, since wife NO. 3 absolutely re-
fuses to help the state to punish
| him.

An Eplstolary Hint.

In the letter from Boston was a
special delivery stamp.
What did she send that for?" the
woman wondered THE information
she wants can be sent in an ordinary
letter. 1t won't need to be sent spe-
cial"
That stamp" said the man. "is a
delicate hint to be quick about answer
ing. 1t is a hurry-up device used by
many men. 1t Is very effective. A two
cent stamp does not always spur one
to any special effort, but special
delivery stamp means that the writer
wants what he wants when he wants
it, and the most dilatory correspond
ent alive is not going to let any grass
grow between the scratches Of his pen
when answering"

THOUGHTS OF THE OLD HOME,
When All Else 10 Forgotten, Those
Linser In the Memory.

You can't forget, no matter how
hard you may try, for your old home,
the one you first knew, is so deeply
impressed upon your mind that all the
glories, the riches and the blandish-
ments OF modern times cannot blot the
picture out, and in spite of all you go
back to it by the memory route, and
linger there often, and more often as
the years gather around YOU
That is why you like to read of the
old days, even though you would not
have them return.
Do you ever tell your children about
your old home, and of your visits to
granddaddy's; your tours of explora-
ton through old attics infested with
wasp's nests. and hanging with. dried
herbs, seed corn, sickles and one truck
and another?
And, maybe, some time you may
have slept in an attic under clap
board roof through which you could
see the stars, and through which sifted
fine snow when the wind was strong.
Nor were you cold, for the homemade
blankets and the quilts the girls had
pleced, and the coverlets that grand
mother had woven were warm on top,
While the thick straw tick, and the
soft feather tick formed nest that
would be warm and comfy" any
where.
You would hardly regard these as es-
sential to your comfort in your new
house, but they were real blessings
then, and are blessed to recall and talk
about now.
Would you forget these?-Pittsburg

anyway? Do they rightfully belong to
him or to YOU? The law gives them to
you, much shame TO the law and the
men who make it, but are they not
the boys by right? Be honest, now. If
You keep that kid out of school for

MiraeuIou. Escape from Death.

A nerve-wrecking experience recent
ly befell a signalman named Lines at
Soham station, on the Great Eastern
railroad. He had Just signaled "Line
clear" for the Ipswich express, when,
glancing towards the down line along
which the express would pass in few
moments, he saw little four-year-old
girl named Doris Pryke. the daughter
of the village butcher, crossing the
line. 1t was too late for him to stop
the express, he could not reach the
child in time to save her, and he rea-
lied that if he shouted to her she
would be certain to stand still and
look in his direction. Slowly the little
girl entered the four-foot way, uncon-
scious of the approaching train. The
engine was within 100 yards of her
when she put one leg over the outer
rail. She raised the other leg, and
came down within inches of safety.
Then the train flashed past, and Lines
covered his face with his hands to
shut out the sight. When he rushed
to the spot he found the little one
lying by the side of the line, uncon-
scious, but alive. The front wheel
guard had caught her uplifted leg,
and she had been hurled a dozen
yards, alighting on mound of refuse.
She suffered few bruises and
scratches, but otherwise was unhurt.

BLASTING BATTLES eIDpY.
Mason City Chicken Fancer Unable to
Make Eqgs Hatch.

Special to Times Republican
Mason City, Aug. 30.-Because the
heavy blasting in the immense stone
auarries of the cement plant foils all
the efforts of his hens to hatch chick
ems, j. ID. Reeler, a colored chicken
fancier of this city, is afraid that he
will have to quit the poultry business
or change the location of his hennery.
Reeler lives within quarter of mile
of the quarries and has been noted for
years as raiser of finely bred chick
ems. This year the heavy blasting has
effected the eggs under his setting hens
in the same way that heavy thunder
bolts often do. killing the germ of life
in the eggs. The problem has become a
serious one for Mr.. Reeler because he
has lost many settings of valuable
eggs. His tlocks are becoming depleted
and he sees no way of raising new
fowls. In the meanwhile the blasting
goes steadily on and the hens, unsuc-
cessful after their regular three weeks
of patient setting, seem to be discour-
aged at the prospects for raising fam
lilies this year.
