Saves an Iowa Mans Life.

The very grave seemed to yawn
before Robert Madsen, of West Burl-
ington, Iowa, when, after seven
weeks in the hospital, four of the
best physicians gave him up. Then
was shown the marvellous curative
power of Electric Bitters. For, after
eight months of frightful suffering
from liver trouble and yellow jaun-
dice, getting no help from other
remedies or doctors, five bottles of
this matchless medicine completely
cured him. It's positively guaranteed
for stomach, liver or kidney troubles
and never disappoints. Only soc. at

Thanksgiving of Our Childhood.

IN CQllQQOOQ 1uaukSSlVlnS medut
for us the coming home of grand
parents, uncles and aunts, brothers
and sisters, the entire cousinhood,
all the boys and girls and all the
babies. Those were good times. 1t
was fun for little feet to run on er-
rands, and little hands to wash cur
rants, seed raisins, shred citron, and
assist in setting the table and doing
any little thing with which they
could be trusted. How proud we
were to stand on the step ladder and
take from the shelf the best china,
piece by piece, handing it down to
mother below; and with what gleeful
zest we rushed to the door, as for
day or two before the auspicious
Thursday guests began to arrive, and
letter and kilograms out of the or
binary brought messages from the
scattered kindred.
One year we would be going some
where and that was delightful be-
yond words. Another year we were
staying at home, and that was better
still, for the dear people were COM
ing to us. Who minded sleeping on
a sofa or curling up on divan If
ones own bed could be given to a
visiting relative. How eagerly we
begged that a favorite teacher who
could not go to her home many miles
across the country should be includ-
ed at our feast, and how more than
happy we were when we were trust
ed with baskets that made real
Thanksgiving for cur friends who
were too poor or too lonely to have
the day wear an aspect of rejoicing.
Thanksgiving to the boys who had
the usual appetites of growing lads
might have been spelled by the syn
onym Of roast turkey and pumpkin
pie, but the little girls were romantic,
and rose superior, in part at least, to
the pleasure of the dinner. We
probably went to church in the morn
ing or Thanksgiving services in the
afternoon, but the midday dinner was
the coronation of the anniversary,
and nothing was permitted to inter-
fere with the perfection of every de-
tail.
Thanksgiving is one of our dearest
possessions in maturity. The fine
gold of a sweet memory is never
dimmed. We had no anxieties then,
no cares, we were children at home,
and the day was not long enough for
our delight. If, as there should be,
there is frequent talk at the home
table about current events and poll
tics, and the abundant harvests, and
our peaceful relations with other ma
tions, even the youngest child shall
be made to understand why Ameri-
cans pause in the swiftness of their
tremendous pace and pause if but. for
a day once a year to praise God from
whence all blessings flow. Perhaps
we ought to be more thankful for the
fact that we continue what the faith
ers began, in publicly and universally
acknowledging our allegiance to our
Heavenly Father than for any other
fact in our history.
We are receiving and assimilating
an immense population of immi-
grants, and our country from coast
to coast is cosmopolitan. Are we
training our children to be good
Americans? Are we cultivating in
them the bravery of the pioneers, the
high standard of the early colonists
and the courage and fortitude of the
men and women who laid the founda-
ton, broad and deep, of this vast re-
public so that it will be safe in their
hands? A. D. j.

Karl, being star football player and
able debater. When asked about his
nationality, he says he is French by
pedigree, German by extraction, Ameri-
can by birth and Irish by adoption. He

evening by an Irishman, who asked him
behind the scenes, ''What may your
name be-" He answered, "Rheinfrank. y
"All right said the committee man,
"come on" They stepped out before
the audience and the Irishman said:

Young Farmers League

ANY movement encouraging the
young farmers who are striving after
better things in agriculture is certain
ly commendable. Hardly one in a
thousand of our young people in the
country ever get chance 10 go to
college, and many OF them have no
realization OF what opportunities there
are to receive an agricultul al educa-
tion which will fit them better for the
business of farming and for the farm
life in the country. Every movement
which helps 10 bring inspiration and
change to these young people should
receive the heartiest cooperation Of
everyone interested in the sound de.
velopment OF our national life. All are
agreed that our prosperity rests upon
agriculture. and unless agriculture IL
reorganized and country life improved

tions OF our people, our whole social

Death of jacob T. Danielson

Jacob Z. Danielson died at the hos
pital for the insane at Yankton, FRIDAY,
March 1S In point of length of com
mitment his was probably the longest
of any inmate. He was committed 10
the asylum early in 1877.
John T. DAME son WAS born in Nor
way in 1926 ana here he lived until a
young man. He emigrated to this
country and during the Civil War he
served in Co. A. OF the 4Sth Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry, being discharged
from the service, Dec. 30, 1868. After
the war he engaged in the shippus
business on Lake Michigan He mar
ried in Chicago and his wife and child
died here of the cholera. He came
to Union county in 1870 and took home
stead some six miles northwest OF Elk
Point. This land has become quite
valuable and. has paid his expenses dur
ing his long commitment at Yankton.
The funeral was attended at the Con-
gregational church Sunday morning.

BOTH stalwarts and prOgressives
started out in this campaign With the
avowe1 purpose Of making it a clean
one and both have already grlevously
transgressed any such resolve. For
example, many prominent progressive
papers have tried to offset the stalwart
charge OF excessive expenditures by
replying that the building of the new
state capitol justified much OF them,
ignoring the fact that the capitol is
built from the proceeds Of the sales Of
the state capitol lands. Similarly
there has recently started from sta.-
warL sources the charge that the salary
OF the newly created Office of stale fire
malsaal was an exiravagauce, refus-
ing to recognize the fact that this
salary is paid by the fire companies
themselves Tote fair, boys, tote fair.
Taxes are high enough at the best
this year, goodness knows, without
making them any worse than they
really are.

gress they have placed the opposition
in place where it can prevent the or
derly development o. all the reform
measures for which the republican
party has been struggling for the past
eight years. They will stop the growth
OF the conservation policy of the gov
ernment, for no democratic congress
will aid a republican administration iu

They will block the further upbulding

from their error and reinstate the re-
