When They Fail.

A little thirteen-year-old girl
down in Pittsburg ended her trou-
bles the other day with a dose of
carbolic acid. She had failed in her
studies, as the story goes. This
seems to a sane and normally mind
ed person as indeed a childish rea-
son 70 rthus putting an end to life.
But it also looks as though someone
besides the little girl was account
able. If she was bright and of
average intelligence, then something
must have been wrong with the
school and it's system for it is only
fair to assume that any one who
would pay such price, because
they failed to win out, must first
have done their 0est to succeed. If
not the school, what of the home?
Was there the love and sympathy
and encouragement which such a
child craved, or did the over ambi-
ton of a proud mother or fond faith
er cast a mantle of gloom and fear
about the child, and drive her to
such a rash act, rather than face
them with failure? While it is the
rare exception that any child would
ever be driven to such extremes be-
cause he was unable to meet the
requirements of his school, it is not
impossible to have such a reason
be the means of bligEting the lives
of children and deprive them of a
rightful heritage. The fact that all
children are not equal in endowment
and likewise in their development is
taking enough mold in the educators
of the day so that children below
the average, or slow in developing
| may have the means of advancing a!
| fast as they are able, without al
ways bearing the sting ard disgrace
caused by falling below grade.-EX

EASY VICTORY FOR LUTHER.
Leander Clark Not i'm Same Glass
With Home Team. Score
10 to =.

Luther scored an overwhelming
victory over Leander Clark Satur,
day, making eighteen runs to two
lonely TALES garnered by the visi-
tors. From the instant Walters long
drive to right field was misjudged
by Dowd, allowing Ted" to circle
the bases at the start of the first
inning, until the close of the con-
test, it was one joyous merry-go-
round for Luther. 1t has been a
long time since such a swat fest has
taken place on the Luther field.
Early in the game the visitors
weakness in the catcher's depart
ment was discovered and the locals
ran wild on the bases, pilfering bag
after bag with ilnpI nifty. Relax
might have proven more effective
had he received proper support, but
the support that was accorded him
is hardly worth mentioning. Luther
produced a midget pitcher, c. Han
son by name, and unless we miss
our guess, he will pc heard from in
future games. Only in one inning,
the eighth, could the down-state
team hit him safely, four hits in a
low earning them two runs. 1t is
useless to detail the terrific hitting
of the Luther team, suffice it to say,
that when it was all over 10 hits
doomed up ON the score board. One
of these was a smashing drive to
right, good for a home run for Stor-
aasli, another coming Immediately
after, netted Estenson three bases.

LONGEVITY IN IOWANS.
Some Interesting Statistics Sug-
gested by Death of EmmetS-
burg Man, 112 Years Old.

The death of Dennis Ricard, of
Emmetsburg, at the ripe old age of
.12, suggests a few remarks about
longevity among the citizens OF
Iowa.
In 1905 when the state census was
taken, list was made of all the
people in Iowa who had reached the
age of 90. The total number was
52S. Though only 10 per cent OF
the people of our state were born in
foreign countries, 200 of the SOS
were foreigners, showing that ouI
native citizens are not such long
livers as those who were born in
Europe. Of the 209 foreigners who
had reached ninety, SO were Irish
So Germans, Il English, 8 Bohemi-
ans, 4 Canadians, 4 Swedes, 2 Hol-
landers, 3 Swiss and 2 Scotch. One
was from Denmark, one from Wales
one from Netkerland, and one from
New Zealand.
Of the 52S, 20 were centenarians
One was lis, two ia, one 107, two
100, two 105. four 104, one 102
one 101, and six 100. OF the
| 20 centenarians, 9 were Irish ant
two Norwegians. The man who liv
ed to be 115 was Norwegian
Four of the number were from Vir
ginia, two from Pennsylvania, on
from Tennessee, one from Kentucky
and one from Connecticut.
Of the number who had reached
! 80 and over, 8 lived in Webste
county, five in Buena Vista, five il
Wright, four in Palo Alto, four il
Emmett, four in Winnebago, two il
Dickinson, and one each in Hancock
Hamilton, Kossuth and O'Brien.

No Trespass If They Keep Of Banks

Judge Higbee in Sparta court de-
cided the case of Reed against Van
Antwerp, known as the fish case"
in a manner that leaves victory for
fishermen. He rendered a verdict
against Van Antwerp of 1 cent for
damages for trespass, without costs.
In effect, he held fisherman had
no right to trespass on a farmers
land, but also that the streams of
the state, and the fish, belong to the
public, and that people have the
right to navigate the streams and
either fish from boats or by wad-
ng. not being liable for trespass SO
long as they kept off the banks OF
the streams. Also that the farmer
has no title to the water or fish, his
rights in the streams being subject
to public usage.-EX.

Put UD Your Name.

1t has been frequently suggested
and the suggestion is good one,
for every farmer to place his name
and the name Of his farm on his
road-gate Not only would persons
driving 10 a place more easily find
it, but it would add more pleasure
and interest to people driving from
place to place. This last result
would have special effect with regard
to well kept and pretty houses. An
observing person will seldom pass

know who is it's enterprising owner

The American Philosophical Society,
in session at Philadelphia, listened to
papers on numerous subjects of gen
eral interest, among them the coming
of Halley's comet and the first cruise
of the n~onmagnetic ship Carnegie. DR..
George E. Hale, Of the Carnegie Insti-
tute at Pasadena, Cal, gave a final as
surance that the approach of the comet
does not threaten us with the least
danger. DR.. l.. A. Bauer gave a dra-
matte aCcount of the first cruise of the

gle is constructed entirely of non-mag-

During the session of the American
Oriental Society in Baltimore, Prof. G..
A. Barton, of Bryn Mawr, questioned
the correctness of the much-discussed
discovery of Prof. Hilprecht, of the
University of Pennsylvania of a tablet
from the famous temple library of
Nippur containing a portion of the
Babylonian deluge story. Hilprecht
called it the oldest known reference to
the flood in writing, the tablet being at
least 1000 years older than the Bible
narrative. He CAV out a translation
of it, which Barton says is largely i'm
aginary- The tablet is of unbaked CLAY,
measuring 2a by rs inches and near
ly an inch thick. But a part has been
broken away. 1t bears no date, but in
ternal evidence places it beyond zoos
B. C. The inscription is understood to
be a divine command to the Noah of
Babylon to build a ship and save life
from an all-destroying flood. This Nip
pur version differs from the two found
at Nineveh and agrees with the Bibii-
cal story, according to Hilprecht. DR..
William H. Ward, while d~eprecatins
the animus against Hilprecht, thought
that the tablet dated from a later
period n that it was largely imagi-
nation to call it an account of the flood

Many a surgeon has had to repeat
an operation to recover bits of sponge
or other medical equipment left in the
victim on the operating table. But
the story is going the rounds here.
says a Paris correspondent Of the st.
Louis Republic, that a brilliant French
surgeon has distinguished himself by
leaving his fee.in the sufferers abdo-
men when he stitched it up.
The patient was a merchant, who
saw to all the arrangements himself,
up to the commencement of the opera
ton for appendicitis. The last thing
he did before going under the anes.
thetic was to pay the surgeon the fee
with a check for 81 1000. The great
man tossed it aside on a pile of alb
sorbent wool that was presently in
use.
Later, when the last stitches were
being put in after the operation. he
looked for the fee and could not find it.
He opened the patient again and found
the Doodle, according to the story that
is diverting medical circles.
