Literature and Dreams.

Robert Louis Stevenson owed much
Of his inspiration to dreams. In one
passage he attributed some Of his fin
est work to the brownies" who ten
anted his brain during moments of
Inconsistencies. 1.-The Strange Case
Of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" owes it's
origin to dream. II had long been
trying to write story on this sub
ject," writes Stevenson, TO find q
body, vehicle, for that strong sense
of mans double being which must at
times come in upon and overwhelm
the mind Of every thinking creature {.
For two days l went about rack
ing my brains for a plot of any sort;
and on the second night I dreamed the
scene at the window, and scene aft
erward split in two, in which Hyde,
pursued for some crime, took the pow
der and underwent the change ii the
presence Of his pursuers. All the rest
was made awake and consciously, al
though I think can trace in much of
1t the manner of my brownies"

THE NNGsH1P OF "KIDs."
/yyio+or Do,o.d,


There is no use in a small boy with
big head running the whole family.
In this day and age of the world we
commonly see an upstart of kid just
in his teens running that home roost
in manner that suits him and no.
body else. We often see the father
and the mother sforn Of their author
ity in the home before the boy is bare
ly out of his knickerbockers. When
we see this we are tempted to go out
and get broom handle and do a lit
tie cleaning house for the poor be-
nighted parents. There are many
cases right here at home where the
boy rules the roost and where the US
age that "the old must be worn out
first" is strictly adhered to- Father
and mother, if you have one of these
boys, let us give you little advice.
Get a bed slat and wait till the lord
of the house-in the shape of your
first born-starts something and then
use the slat in stopping him. If you
use this simple recipe there will be
more peas and honiny" around the
old home.

SULPHUR Fumiuation,

1t takes some ingenuity to burn sui
phur dn a vessel, as it tends to smoth-
er flames. If several pounds are to be
burned, a fire of cobs or sticks soaked
with kerosene must be built above the
sulphur and kept burning until you
see the blue flame Of the sulphur lick
ing up thru the wood blaze.
One way to disinfect the poultry
house with sulphur is to dissolve one
half pint Of turpentine and one-half
pint Of tar in one-half gallon Of kero-
sene. Soak corncobs in this solution,
and, when ready to burn out the poul-
try house for lice or germs Of disease,
have ready a sharp pointed piece of
iron to thrust In the ends OF the cobs,
sprinkle sulpher over the cob, set a
lighted match to It 1t, and while 1t
burns pass the cob over the roosts,
cracks in the hen house and every-
where about 1t. This should be done
every week for month or more.

and useful citizens. The school that
does not look out for the morals of Its
pupils is not worth the money it re-
ceives either from parents or taxpay-
ers. Not only are the boys concerned
but society is greatly concerned. Good
government Is not dependent upon in
tellectual development to the extent 1t
is dependent upon moral healthful-
ness and activity. If the American
republic shall decay and pass away it
will be because the boys in increasing
number go to the bad. Every problem
confronting the country can find right
settlement under application of moral
law, and without it not much potency
can be found in hysteria and spas
modic legislation. What is best for
the state is best for the individual
and If boys are to be men, and prove
themselves such, they must be strong
against temptation to do evil. There
is great call for dependable men, and
it is startling to reflect that the de-
mand is increasing out of proportion
to the supply. The boy who is to
make the most of himself must cut
out drink: and in order to cut out
drink he should have all possible help
it cutting out bad company. School
men have upon them great RESPONSE
bility. 1t is doubtful if a high school
athletic team ought to be permitted to
go away from home without the COM
pany of a moral captain; and the boy
who drinks and offers temptation to
other boys to drink. though he be the
most important fellow in the team,
should be promptly thrown out. For
school officers to say they have MOTH
ing to do on this side of education
and discipline is to prove themselves
incompetent for their stations.

Some Ancient Concrete Work.

In describing the extent to which
concrete was employed in the con-
truction of many of their more i'm
portant structures by the Romans, a
writer states, in Cement Age, that in
all of the work he had examined the
marks of the wood forms are at all
times discernible, and especially is this
so in the corridor of the house of ALL
gustus on the Palatine where the grain
of the wood can be clearly seen. These
walls are some twenty feet above
the ground level, and tho the construc-
ton of the forms seems to have been
carelessly done, the result is none the
less interesting. Here is a splendid OPP
portunity to see concrete and to leis-
urely inspect 1T from every point of
vantage. Above these concrete founda-
tions rose the Palace OF Augustus.
formed of those stupendous walls and
vaults of brick which here, as else
where in Rome, thrust their arches
thru the air with such poise and pre-
cision that they are to this day the
admiration of every beholder and gave
to the Romans their proud position
among the master builders of the
world. The structure of brick above
these concrete walls has succumbed to
the ravages of time and to the hand of
the destroyer, but the concrete remains
without crack or a fracture that
could be discovered by careful and fire.
quent examination. Its adhesion is per-
feet, and that there has not been the
slightest disintegration of even the out
side surface is aMested by the fact
that the grain of the wood from the
old forms may still be seen in the con-
crete, tho it's imprint was made over
two thousand years ago.
Some recent excavations at the Arch
Of Titus have disclosed the fact that
this structure rests entirely upon a
monolithic base OF concrete, approx
mately as feet long. 20 feet wide and 10
feet deep. This foundation was poured
into wooden frames exactly as we
should do it now, and when the con-
crete had set these wooden forms were
removed.
Directly in front of the ruins of the
Temple of julius is a large concrete
base in which also the vertical marks
of the wooden forms can be clearly
seen. The excavations here do not per-
NIT a view Of this entire structure, but
enough of 1t appears to give a fair
idea of its state of preservation, which
is perfect. There is not crack or
fracture in 1t, and tho located in a
marshy part of the Forum, 1t shows no
effect from the moisture to which it
has been subject for so many centu-
ries.

THE NEW NEGRO QUESTION.

The race question in the south has
grown a new branch and acquired
new complication. The Southern rail-
way is tied up in a bitter labor fight in
which the color question is the storm
center. Negroes are not to be per-
mitted to work as firemen on pas
senger engines. The job is to be re-
served to white men.
Heretofore negro labor has been CIV
en- opportunity in the south The negro
carpenter, bricklayer, and railroad man
has had his chance. Most of the
mental labor of the south is done by
negroes, much of the higher class Of
work is done by trained colored men
Tuskeegee and other schools are train
ing good men for the industrial south
to take the places of the mechanics of
the old slave regime If the white man
shall refuse the negro an ywork but the
strictly mental, the negro question be-
comes more imminently serious than
It's polltlcal aspect has ever been. the
new complication shows an ugly froat
and is a truer prediction of race war
to the hilt than any Acknowledgement
Of negroes or cry of social equality. :.
1t is a pity that the south is getting
ready to do what the north has always
done. refuse the negro even share
of industrial equality. 1t means trouble,
a cessation of the Improvement and
development that has begun to stir that
section, and when the trouble comes
closer to its head cessation of the
northern immigration that is pushing
the south forward. 1t also means
trouble for the federal government for
it must take cognizance of the civil
rights of all men and the constitutional
and inherent right of manhood.

THE IuNKN TRIAL.

At Centerville a jury has been en-
panelled to try John Junkin, the negro,
who has confessed to the murder of
Clara Rosen at Ottumwa. The trial is

plea of mot guilty" and twelve men
are to adjudicate between the law
and the self confessed murderer.
The trial should not be protracted.
of the Introduction of the evidence.
Junkins confession is sufficient to put
the rope about his neck. 1t would have
proved more than sufficient had he not
been hurried from the Immediate scene
of his crime. In no mind is a reason
able doubt of his guilt. The trial is
simply to conform to legal procedure
and that things may be done in or
der. 1t should not be hurried; neither
tempts to dodge the truth or shield the
perpetrator of a heinous crime SIM
ply because some bubble or technical
ity offers opportunity to embarrass the
course of justice. Junkin should have
a fair trial. Every fact and circum-
stance that bears in his favor should
be adduced and presented That is all
to which he is entitled. The man is
guilty by his own confession.
Perhaps Junkin will be hanged. The
people of the state will not object to
the death penalty in this case, tho Iowa
sentiment runs against capital punish
ment. The crime calls for the ultimate
punishment. If the court sees At to
impose the extreme penalty and the
executive refuses to interfere, small

Whether or not the trial brings it
Gut, the negro had accomplices in his
crime. He was drunkard and a CO.
caine fiend. Such men as he commit
their crimes under the stimulation Of
whisky and drugs. The men who sold
a negro whose bestial appearance ex-
posed his instincts and impulses the
drug that fired him to rape and MUIR
der, belong in the dock beside him. 1t
is a pity that the law can not reach
back to them and punish them with
him.

pie are waiting for the verdict.

Fly RepeIIent,


Soon the flies will begin to annoy the
COWS and calves. Here is recipe for a
repellant which is said to be quite eff
fective: Rosin, one and one-half
pounds; laundry soap. two cakes; fish
oil, one-half pint: enough water to
make three gallons. Dissolve the rosin
in solution Of soap and water by heat
ing, add the fish Oil and the rest of the
water. Apply with a brush. If to be
used as a spray, add one-half pint Of
kerosene. This mixture will cost YOU
from to s cents per gallon, and may
be used on cows and calves One half
pint Of this mixture is considered
enough for one application for a COW;
a calf, Of course, would require con-
siderably less. 1t will be more econom-
ical to apply this only to the parts Of
the animal not reached by the tail. At
first it will be necessary to give two or
three applications per week, until the
outer ends Of the hair become coated
with rosin. After that, retouch those
parts, where the rosin is rubbed off.
This formula has been used by the
Kansas Agricultural College success
fully.

rHE NEED or COMMON SENSE.

If one need is insistent over another
It Is the need of common sense, plain
ordinary horse sense and Judgment.
Assuming the correctness Of the news
paper story sad case in Cedar Rap
ids is an illustration of how extremely
lacking in common sense some men
charged with grave responsibility may
become.
According to Cedar Rapids paper
a man rushed from home in the night
to the nearest telephone to summon a
physician to the bedside of his dying
wife. He was endeavoring to arouse
the proprietor of a nearby fruit stand
when a policeman arrested him, re-
fused to listen to explanation or hear
the dire need of the frantic husband
and dragged him to the police station
averring the he might telephone from
that station as well as from the fruit
stand. The husband begged the officer
to accompany him to his house and
learn for himself the insistent neces-
sity of the case and the truth of his
story, to permit him to telephone from
a hotel on the way to the station but
was refused. He was taken to the sta
ton and his wife died about the time
her husband had explained to the desk
man.
Here was an instance of plain lack
Of ordinary sense and Judgment. There
had been burglaries in the city and the
police was on the alert, but that was
no reason why man should be drag
ged away from the bedside of dying
woman and refused permission to call
doctor. There had been sharp crit
icism Of the Cedar Rapids police but no
one with a spark Of common sense
would hope to avert further criticism
by plain act of tyranny. It was just
q lack of ordinary horse sense.
Perhaps the officer proposed to

SCHOOL BOYS AND DRINK.
(Sioux City Journal.)

NsoiouA lily JOuTudl.)
Boys are apt to think when they
get away from home that the way to
''have a good time is to ''take some
thing" They may be no more than
school boys, belonging to some kind Of
team, and they may have won the
game or lost it. They like excitement.
If they have won, they want to stimu-
late to make them feel better; and IL
they have lost, they want to stimu-
to save them from feeling worse Ath-
letic sports are to be commended, IL
kept within reason, but otherwise ex-
ercise IN the company of a lawnmower
is much more helpful in the work of
building a good quality of manhood.
1t isn't at all smart for boy to swag-
ger before bar, or to set 'em I'D and
say ever so generously that all you
fellows are to come up. The boy who
thinks differently and persists in evil
example ought to be excluded from
any team, If the team is to go away
from home and from under the eve of
competent authority. Boys are sent to
school for what they may learn that
will better equip them in their contest
with personal responsibility and they
can learn nothing more to their dis
advantage than to learn to drink.
Rather than learn to drink they better

Two statesmen for an enlarged pic
ture concern were in the city a couple
Of weeks ago and their method of Sc
curing patronage was to make house
to house canvass of the town and vi
cinity. One lady on stating that she
didn't care for an enlarged portrait Of
a departed member of the family was
told that she certainly could not have
loved the deceased, and other remarks
were made that were unbecoming to
good craftsmanship and gentlemanly
conduct. Should these uncouth fellows
have gone to certain homes when the
man of the house was present, 1t is
quite possible that no little sensation
would have been aroused.
