for festive occasions. There were deep
pies, shallow pies, medium pies with
short crust, long crust or tough crust,
much depending upon the cook and the
guests to be entertained
Emerson ate pie and wrote about it
in his happiest way. He was good for a
big piece at each meal, making occas-
ional trips to the family larder be-
tween meals. Washington, the
Adamses, Franklin and Lincoln, were
all pie fiends. Why is the meat upon
which such men fed relegated to the
surviving few? Why is a southern SEN
ator laughed at when he insists upon
pie for breakfast at his boarding
house?
Is the cooking of the good old-time
pie lost art, are we the victims of
adulterated foodstuffs, won't gas
stoves produce the real goods, or are
we as a people, simply going back
ward? There are as many pie-faced
men and women as ever, but most of
them never faced a real pie; probably
never will.
No one ever heard a pie-eating ma
ton that had to hoist the white flag
or take alien dictation. We need to re-
install pie, make sure that it is pie
and get back to the solid days when
we were pie-eating nation. A pie
commission might not be a bad thing
and the ways of politics always call
for more commissions.-Detr Free

tellectual and political giants; they
would not have dined with rulers and
poets; they would not have been the
central figures and the very cause of
the ceremonies which have Just taken
place in the White House.
They did not say Whats the use,"
and they have won. And upon behold
ing their success the world Of progress
does not look on obviously and say
Whats the use'' of showing these
men honor? That world simply
clasps them to its heart and says:
"Well done; we are proud of you;
you have brought new distinction to
the United States, whose citizens you
are"
The ceremonies in the White House
were, therefore, most appropriate. 1t
was entirely meet that the president Of
the United States should recognize the
achievements of the two Americans by
publicly praising them and presenting
them with the medals engraved in
their honor. Such an act of the chief
executive of the country was not only
a graceful tribute to worthy accom-
plishment, but it was stimulus for
all other Americans to stir themselves
to work, to persist to do--to thwart
any voice within themselves which
may ask them, Whats the usea"

"THE WIRELESS HERO"

From the New York Tribune or
"Jack" Binns, the Republics wire
less hero" the manager of a New
York theatrical agency said:
II tried my best to land him. / went
as high as a thousand week. But it
was no use.
"Binns said that on the boards he'd
be as out of place as Hawksley's hoss
/ asked him what Hawksley's boss
was, and he spun me yarn.
''He said that a man by the name of
Hawksley went to a horse dealer and
said:
Look-a-here, want to buy boss.
A useful. all around, factotum kind o.
boss. You know what l mean. A boss
can ride in the Sons O. Temperance
parade. A good, quiet, family boss
the wife and babies can trust them
selves to in the cart A horse the boy
can ride in the spring races, and at
the same time the sorter boss what'll
plow double with an OK on a pinch. A
boss, mean ter say
Mr. Hawksley,' said the dealer,
with sour laugh, we don't want the
boss to WANT on the table, do ye?"

;oL. HARVEY AND COL. BRYAN.

Washington Post.-Col. George Har-
vey, editor of Harpers Weekly, has
| revealed one of the political secrets Of
1906. He was in Europe the summer
Of that year and met Mr.. Bryan, who
was on the last lap of his tour around
the world. Colonel Harvey believed
the common veal would be promised
by the election of a Democratic presi-
dent in 1908, and he sought Mr.. Bry.
an and conferred with him. and Of that
interview he says:
The London conference lasted the
best part of three days. Mr.. Bryan
at that time talked in such a manner
about a reasonable and sane platform
and concerning his policies that ]
came away with my mind made I'D Ia
support him with the paper which !
edit
A few weeks thereafter Mr.. Bryan
| landed in New York and made the
famous and deplorable Madison Square
garden speech. Before he arose to
address that vast audience that night
the Democratic party had the sixtieth
| congress In basket. The next morn
ing the sixtieth congress was in the
| Republican basket, where it stayed.
That August day Mr.. Bryan landed
In New York the Cleveland Democrats
of every state. with practical unanim
ity, were ready to join Colonel Har
vey in support of Bryan. All they
asked was that he should preach
Democracy, naked and without adorn
ment, pure and undefled, and thou
sands of Republicans who were averse
| to the Roosevelt strenuosities were
ready to join them.
Why did Mr.. Bryan repel these
| forces? The reason is not far to seek
Mr.. Bryan did not believe the demo
cracy could prevail without the coop
Grafton of William R. Hearst, and he
went fishing for that gentleman and
his independence league. That is the
secret of the heresy of the Madison
Square garden speech He did not get
Hearst, who remembered the Demo
cratic convention of 1904, when he
was attacked by Mr.. Bryan in the ma
tional convention. Mr.. Bryan drove
from him Colonel Harvey and hun
dreds of thousands of others who
thought as he did, and thus made Re
publican victory in 1906 and 1908 ABB
solutely certain.
If nature had given Mr.. Bryan more
wisdom and less eloquence, what 9
grand thing 1t would have been for
| the Democratic party!

homecoming, however, Wilbur Wright
gave another evidence that he and his
brother are worthy of the honors
heaped upon them when. In probably
the longest speech of his life, he said:
1T is naturally with feeling of
pride that we accept these tokens. and
l wish to thank the people of the
United States, of Ohio and of Dayton.
1t is sometimes said inventors usually
do not receive the sympathy and en-
couragement which is their due. This
cannot be said of us. Even in the in
fancy of our work we received offers
of financial assistance from people who
could have no hope of reward.
'The poets sometimes have occasion
to complain of the lack of substantial
sympathy, yet l have no doubt that
If $1,O00,000 would bring another
Shakespeare or Tennyson the money
would be forthcoming in this country
within five minutes. If poets and in
ventors do not get their dues 1t is
rather because the world is unaware
Of their needs than because of indif-
ference"
Which shows that Wilbur and
Orville have not the least inclination
to get the "swelled head" and snub
the people who formerly looked upon
them as subjects for the insane
asylum. Wilbur mentioned the offers
of financial assistance rendered, but
he did not mention the jokes that
have been cracked at his expense by
skeptical neighbors In the days when
he and his brother were experiment.
ing in an unknown field. That the
brothers are able to overlook these
early discouragements in their days of
success is another evidence that they
are big enough to merit the honors now
coming their way.

Iowa Oldest Good TempJar.

Clinton, June 16.-Clinton has the
distinction Of having among her cit
liens the oldest living member of the
Independent Order of Good Templars
in the world This man is Luke Rob-
erts, who has passed his eighty-sey-
enth birthday anniversary. Mr.. Rob-
erts, became affiliated with the first
lodge of the Good Templars at Hem
lock, N. T.. in August of the year
1852 At that time the order was but
a year in existence. He has since
held his membership, and wears a
badge with four pendant bars, the first
added when he was twenty-five years
a Templar, and the others after his
thirtieth, fortieth and fiftieth years
with the order. If he lives three
years longer he will be entitled to an
other bar for sixty years member
ship.
Mr.. Roberts is recovering from the
effects of a recent accident. He has
been Clinton's weather observer for
over thirty years.

IOWA FOR VACATIONS.

W. G. Brown, the noted railroad
man, president Of the New York Cen.
trail, does not spend his vacation
abroad. He comes to Iowa, gets out
onto an Iowa farm, and enjoys himself
immensely.
1t is all right to spend a vacation
abroad. There's nothing like seeing as
much Of the world as one can afford
to see. 1t Is all right for. Iowans to go
across the water, or into other states,
to quiet summer places, or to the
more public places, or to some distant
exposition or to some point especially
scenic. 1t does one an immense
amount of good to be we'll Travelled =
to see as much of the world as pos
sible.
But while some Iowans are spending
their vacations outside the state o
lot Of people who live elsewhere ought
to be induced to do as President
Brown of the New York Central does
spend their vacation in Iowa
After all, there isn't much more
delightful place than Iowa in summer
time. 1t is true that when we have
real corn weather, the heat Is a trifie
burdensome. But on the whole the
Iowa climate, In summer, has fewer
disadvantages than the climate of the
average state.
There ought to be more summer re-
sorts in Iowa. The present summer
resorts ought to be better patronized
And many people from other states,
any many residents Of our own cities,
ought to be encouraged to get onto
Iowa farms during the warm weather
An Iowa farm Is a really delightful
place in summer. Were it not, you
can take 1t for granted that moneyed
men like w. G. Brown would not spend
their vacations thereon-Cedar Rap.

HORRIBLE. liz TRUE.


DR.. Sarah ]. McNutt. one Of New
York's leading women physicians, pays
her respects to the prevailing fash
ions in the following Interview:
"The New York women-who be
long to a class that is best described
as the floating population-are being
crippled by the Paris fashions, and the
men of Paris and New York are re
sponsible for it.
New York women of certain type
distort their figures by the clothes
they wear until they no longer re
semble the human feminine form.
They wear corsets too tight tc
bend in.
Shoes too ridiculous to walk in.
collars so high and so tight that
they cannot breathe properly.
And a harness of garters that
makes them walk like horses with the
Spring halt"
DR.. McNutt concludes her observa
lions by declaring that after all
practically every woman in the world
is dressing to make herself attractive
in the eyes Of at least one man. Let
the men, she insists, ceased to be
lured by grotesque fashions and see
with what a sigh of relief women will
adopt moderation.

THE ROAD TO BUSINESS SUCCESS

THE ROAD TO BUSINESS SUCCESS.
A writer for a trade publication de-
clares that conducting business is
just like rolling a hoop. A hoop is an
easy thing to roll after you have ii
started. You've got to keep hustling
pretty hard at first to get it going and
keep up a steady hit as you go along,
or the thing will get wabbly and stop.
1t is just SO, he says, with your bust
ness. You've got to hit almighty
hard at first to get good start and
then keep hitting, if you don't, your
business will be like the hoop-get
wabbly and stop. You've got to keep
up hard, continuous fight, he says,
keep running right along and hammer
ing away, just as you used to do with
the hoop. AS an instance that bust
ness comes to the hard fighting few,
that to make your business grow
you've got to get right down to hard
work and make it grow; he cited the
experiences Of two of the leading
lights in the business world
John Wannamaker didn't stop with
simply thinking a big business pos
sible-he added push, energy, hard
work to his thought. And with what
marvellous result-one Of the great
est mercantile establishments in the
country.
Marshall Field thought a great Chi
cago store possible, but he didn't
think that thinking alone would make
it grow; he got out and hustled and
made it possible. Everyone knows of
his mighty accomplishment. What
did it? Just what will make your bust
ness great-energy, push, persever-
ence, and good bunch of judicious
advertising.
There's no other road to success
full business, he concludes. Take this
one; hard though it may appear, it's
the only sure one. for business comes
only to the hard fighting few.
