She Wasn't Afraid.

A crowd gathered on the street to
watch a handsome fox terrier that
was running about, nose in air.
White frOth was running from the
dogs mouth.
He's madr yelled a fat man.
The fox terrier stood in the center
OF the group with wide open eyes,
either too mad or too frightened to
move.
At this juncture the policeman
arrived. A dozen voices began to
tell him that the dog was mad; that
it must be killed; that it had been
swapping at the children; that it be-
gan to froth when it passed pool
of water, and how best to shoot.
A tall, quiet-looking woman push
ed through the crowd and started
toward the dog. A dozen yelled at
her. Two or three men grapped at
her.
She picked up the dog and start
ed out of the crowd. The police
man stopped her with:
Madame, that dog is mad. He
must be shot. Look at the foam.
out of his mouth"
Foam" she said contemptuouSlY
That's a cream puff he was eating.

An Embroidery Hint.

When making the eyelet en-
brUidery rub white soap on the
cloth before passing the stilettO
through it. That will give stiff
ness to the cloth which will enable
you to make a much better eyelet.

Next to the wife beater comes
the horse heater. A horse is the
most noble and faithful of animals
and the man who would abuse his
horse has something lacking in his
manhood.

ment to the constitution now pro-
posed upon that subject.
They believe that the strength
and permanence of the nation de-
pends upon the quality of it's citi-
zens. Every boy and girl should
have the best opportunity possible
for education and training, and
therefore they favor the prohibition
of such child labor as impairs either
lie mental or physical vIgor of chill
dren, or which precludes the chance
of proper education.
They favor the cooperation of
the national government in enlarg-
ing the usefulness of the system of
public education in the several
states by extending the work of the
agricultural experiment stations,
the establishment of secondary
schools, which shall include the
study of agriculture, domestic sci
ence and the mechanic arts, and by
aiding the normal schools of the
country in the preparation Of teach
ers for such schools.
At time when interest in i'm
proved highways is moving every
slow to recognize that bad roads put
heavy tax on agriculture, tend to
lessen the attractions of rural life
and inevitably in the end work to
lower the values of all forms OF
property. We urge upon the COM
ing legislature that it take the road
problem into comprehensive con-
sideration and order such begin
nings as will, as speedily as pos
sible, give to Iowa the system OF
roads best adapted to our needs and
conditions.
Be it resolved that it is a privi-
fege and duty to every citizen OF
Iowa to assist in and forward the
movement to erect fitting monu-
ment to the life. character and pub
lie service of Senator Allison.

SUMMER FRIENDSHIPS.

Those who are spending time at
the summer resorts this year are no
doubt having the usual experience
of sudden friendships. We meet
entire strangers, we pour out to
to them secrets we do not trust our
dearest friends at home, we part al
most amid tears, with promises of
letters and visits, and the company
thus gathered vanishes to the four
winds of heaven and scarcely ever
does any one of these units see any
other again on this planet.
The reason is no doubt that peo-
pie feel that reserve is absolutely
unnecessary amid the chance meet
ings of summer hotel. People
permit themselves to make advances
they will not make at home. When
friends prove distasteful, they are
easily gotten rid Of. But how many
times it proves true that friend
ships made in this way and so soon
lost, might greatly enrich our lives
by the contact with people of ripe
and sunshiny nature.
1t seems as If this were too hust-
ling an age for friendship. The
treasures of affection that might be
ours are often thrown away because
a dollar looks nearer and more en-
Will comradeship always
be sacrificed in this life to the ever
lasting hustle for gain?

The regulars were desirous of get

progressives desired to give. They
failed to win this, but, leaders point
out, it must be remembered Taft
was endorsed and the republicans
will fight together. Democratic
