Punishment For Perjury.

Perjury is a crime more severely
punished in Germany than in any 9th
er country in the world. Even an ap-
parently trivial misstatement under
oath carries a sentence of ten years in
prison. Excepting murder, there are
few crimes that carry as heavy pen
atty as perjury. The German theory is
that the entire system of jurispru-
dence rests on the respect for an oath
administered under the forms of law
and that this must be strictly guarded
in order to secure the punishment of
other crimes and insure justice in civil
cases. Germany stands at one extreme
and the United States at the other
Fewer people are punished in the
United States for false swearing In
the witness box than in any other
country.-London Telegraph.

The Releaser.

If he hadn't been a dreadful bore
and the hour wasn't so late it is quite
possible the lovely girl would have
refrained from the exercise of a stra-
tegic scheme. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
"Hark~ she whispered as he paused
in the midst of a long winded de-
scription of his camping outfit.
"NWhat is it?' he whispered in re-
turn.
She smiled reassuringly.
'Its only papa. He must be oiling
the releaser."
"And what is the releaserW
'Its one of papa's ingenious
schemes. Every night, at exactly II
o'clock, he pulls up brass chain that
releases our brindle bull pup from
his annex adjoining the kitchen; that's
ALL"
And she laughed merrily. The caller
glanced at the clock on the mantel.

slightly hurried manner. "And good

The chanae From Black to Red.


"See that little woman who just
went outY remarked O Fourth avenue
milliner to a customer. Noticed that
red hat, did you? Well, as a milliner
and a person whose business 1t is to
study the different characteristics of
women l have watched her for two
years. 1t has been kind of study of

1.-TWO years ago she came to me, re-
Gently bereaved. and had me make her
a hat OF deepest black. She was bro
ken hearted and declared she would
never again take an interest in the
pretty things that women like to wear.
A year ago she came again.
"'Don't you think l might have the
least bit of white in my new hat" she
asked.
YES 1 said; L think you might
and the hat was made. Three months
later she came for another hat, and
she stood for a little touch of laven-
der. Next she had big white plume,
and last week l made her that red
hat. 1t just shows what time will do
in lifting up a heart bowed down.

A Fish That Gives Paint.

The well known brown pigment call
ed sepia is obtained from ten armed
octopus found principally in the Med
iterranean and more especially at the
head of the Adriatic sea, where 1t is
caught by the natives for food.
The sepia is contained in a bag and
Is really the black fluid Of which we
have all read as being discharged by
the creature to cover its escape. Some
naturalists say that the fluid is brown
ish, which becomes more credible when
we know that this is the source of
sepia. The pigment is really a powder
which dissolves in water It's strength
may be estimated by the fact that it
will color 1000 times it's own bulk.
When the octopus has been>killed the
sack or bag is removed and dried to
prevent putrefaction. The sepia is
treated with ammonia or caustic soda,
washed and dried. 1t is one of the
most durable of paints, except when
fully exposed to the fierce rays of the
sun, and an even surface can be OBJ
tanned with it more easily than with
most paints. Sepia has been obtained
from a fossil cuttlefish thousands of
years old and found to be quite good
for paint

DESPITE TWO CENT FARE IOWA
RAILROADS GAIN.
$44,356 Net Earnings Gained Last
Year Over Previous Years.

The operation of the 2-cent fare
does not decrease the earnings of the
railroads in Iowa, in fact, it increases
them, as can be seen from the report
for last year. The Railway Record
says of this report:
'Desite the operations of the 2
cent fare law the net earnings of the
railrods in Iowa gained a total of
ings during the year 1908. These
figures are shown by the annual re-
port of the state railroad commission
which is now in course of prepare
ton. In 1909 the net earnings of the
railroads were $1S,697, 607.70, while
in 1908 the net earnings Of the rail
roads were s1S,257,25162.
In 1909 it cost the railroads Of
Iowa $1,182,85 more to operate their
lines than it did the year previous,
but the revenues for 1909 were ST.
60S,809.14 more than they were the
previous year. The increased eX-
pense is due to the fact that more
equipment was needed to handle the
business of 1909 than in 1908, and
this additional business was sufficient
to make the increase in revenues
proportionately larger than the in
crease in expenses.
I'm this connection it should be
borne in mind that the cost Of steel
and other material used in the build
| ing of the equipment increased some
what during the year, SO that all the
| facts taken together show that here
was a material increase in the vol
ume of railroad business done in Iowa
during the year 1902

From North Dakota.

Buchanan, N D., Mar Is, 1910.
Editor Reporter:-I suppose there
is some one in Iowa that would like
to hear from us, so will write a few
lines as they think that North Da-
l1ota is such an awful place. We have
had some pretty bad weather here
this winter, but not as bad as it has
been in other states east and south
of us. There are quite good many
from Iowa here. Some like it and
some think it is the worst place they
ever struck, and of course they
would kick on any place. There is
one thing sure we do not have the
mud here that they do in Iowa. If
we could raise fruit here like we
can in Iowa l would like it great
deal better. All kinds of garden
truck grows here better than there.
never saw nicer potatoes. Several
from here are going to Montana this
spring. 1t does not cost much more
to live here than it docs any place
else. Potatoes are SO cents per
bushel, onions s1.00, butter 80 cents
per pound and eggs 80 cents per
dozen. Meats are all about the same
everywhere. This is a good place to
raise all kinds of poultry. If this
does not find the waste basket will
write again. H. e. Kennett.

ALL ARE ENTHUSIASTIC FOR
GOOD HIGHWAYS.
Great Deal of Benefit Will Result Be
canse of the Convention which
Was Held Recently.

That the people of Iowa are in
earnest in the matter of good roads
for the state was manifested at the
Good Roads contention which was
lust ended in ting city of Des Moines
and from the discussions held and
the determinations reached it is very
apparent that iowa citizens will not
be satisfied with anything except a
big improvement in the condition of
our public highways Governor Car
roll is an enthusiast on the subject,
and the people of the state have him
to thank fortthe good which will re-
suit from tie conference just held.
1t was through his efforts that the
gathering - discuss the road ques-
ton was hade possibility and he
has spared no effort to get the peo-
pie of Ioka interested in the good
road mobment. The outcome of the
Des MoiJes convention will be per-
manent organization to work in con-
Junction with the present Iowa high
way commission in an effort to better
the Highways and to secure such leg
islatiot as is needed to bring about
an idal condition in so far as the
roadSof Iowa are concerned.
Tye plan of having the county sur
veYr converted into a county engin-
eerwas ably presented by Represent
atie O'Connor, of Chickasaw county
M. O'Connor says that in his opin-
id it is vital to the good roads
uovement to have the work well
hpervised. The only way to do it is
b have county engineer, a man
Who is educated in the work and who
As competent to direct it all. The sug-
Igestion was made to him that there
should be some sort of civil service
or merit system in connection with
the engineers Office, but the mair
thing is to make sure of the appoint
ment of competent man. This feat
ure of the discussion appealed tt
many favorably.
The delegates from Decatur coun
ty were pleased with the results ac
complished by the convention, anG
all feel certain that much good will
follow because of the getting togeth
er of delegates well informed on the
subject of road making from all parts
Of the state. Below we give the de
auctions of one of the delegates:
LIST. That there is universal de
mand throughout the state for bet
ter roads.
End. That we should use tn,
means at hand, viz. the soil, the King
drag and the roller.
3rd. That the roller can be made
from wagon by putting on 6 or
inch wide tires and loading it will
one to two tons of weight.
4th. That the roads should b,
properly drained, where there ar
spouty places, tile should be used
And open side bitches should be KEEP
SO they will take care of the surface
water.
5th. That the roads should b.
dragged after each rain and that tn
farmers along the highway be secure'
to do this work and pay them for j
instead of them doing it for nothing
as is now the case in many neighbor
hoods.
9Th. That there is now none
enough raised by taxes ii the RICH
men have charge Of the highways t
keep them in reasonably good shape
