Watch Yourself 40 by.

NoSSu pO0tS SCH w ny.
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by;
Think of yourself as "he' instead Of
"I.',
Note, closely as in other men you note,
The bag kneed trousers and the seedy
coat.
Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man
is you,
And strive to make your estimate
ring true;
Confront yourself and look you in the
eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
Interpret all your motives just as
though
You looked on one whose aims you
did not know.
Let rndisguised contempt surge
through you when
You see you shirk, o commonest OF
men,
Despise your cowardioe: condemn
Whate'er
Your note of falseness IL you any
where.
Defend not one defect that shames
your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
And then. with eyes unveiled to what
you loathe-
! To sins that with sweet charity you'd
Back to your self-walled tenements
you'll go
/ With tolerance for all who dwell be
low.
! The faults of others then will dwarf
and shrink.
Loves chain grown stronger by one
mighty link
When you, with "he" as substitute iof
a."
Have stood aside and watched your
self go by

the first instalment of new novel by
Mr. Kitchens in the November Cen
fury is, therefore, matter OF deep
literary interest. THE Dweller on the
Threshold is the title o. Mr. Hichens
story, to appear in six parts, and in
it the reader finds himself in that vi
tai atmosphere created by certain
characters in the clerical and philo-
sophical world of London who are alb
sorbed in psychicai investigation. The
story is intensely human in its inter-
ests and concerns itself with phases
of life which are attracting marked
degree of attention just now.
From bicycle to aerial supremacy
is the road travelled by Glenn H. Cur
tiss, according to an article by Angus
tus Post in the November Century.

Worth remembering as part of the
record of the campaign just ended is
the statement made by Senator Root
in New York concerning the Republi-
can nomination in 1912, as follows.
III Mr. Taft continues to make as
good President as he is making he
will be the natural and inevitable
candidate of his party in 1912, unless
one thing hapDens-that the people of
the United States shall repudiate the
administration of Mr. Taft by such a
crushing and overwhelming defeat of
his party that it will be apparent
that Mr. Taft can not be elected i"
Further, the senator said that Demo
cratic victory in New York now
would more likely turn the next ma
tional convention away from Taft and
toward Roosevelt, or ito one of the
far more radical leaders who are now
looming up on the political horizon in
the north and middle west
Senator Root brought no direct

The Lion and the Lambs.

Sioux City Journal: In his hurried
visit to Iowa Colonel Roosevelt made
stirring appeals for harmony. The
messages he brought were no joke
with him, and yet. If reports are to-
be believed, there were some to
laugh The loneliness of the New
York campaign came to their minds,
and it is understood some feeling
was engendered to see that things
should be comparatively good in
Iowa
The browning effort of the colonel
was at Des Moines, and very proper
! ly so, for it is the center of our
politics The speaking was diversi-
fed, but it all led up to the reserve
spectacle at the Auditorium. The
colonel came fresh from the chau-
| tauqu salute at the Coliseum, where
the representatives of the cause of
education were assembled, and where
he abjured the teachers to stand
for good citizenship.
The colonel entered the Auditorium
as conquering hero. The dignitar-
ie5 on the platform formed the

speaking days of this campaign The
dignitaries with one accord joined
in the wild applause that greeted the
star of the evening. There had been
no previous contention or agreement
as to who should sound the keynote.
1t may be, however, that Senator
Cummins, being quick on his feet,
led off. Governor Carroll was con-
spicuous by reason of his altitude,
Judge Prouty looked gratified and
grateful. Colonel Young had the
appearance of beneficence. The
smile Of Harvey Ingham cast illumi-
mating power far down the aisles.
In the period of waiting the gen.
tleman named had exchanged ex-
pressions Of forgiveness. They had
indicated that they stood as one man
for the grand old party. Figurative.
ly speaking, the senator placed his
hand in Carrolls and whispered that
his Chicago Marshalltown speech had
been extracted without pain from
the depths of his heart. In the same
way, they turned to the expectant
Prouty and said in soothing tones
BLESS you, our child bless you,'
In like manner, LATE and Harvey
drew as near as they could in safety
to their toes to give interchange OF
opinion and Injunction: Behold, how
good and how pleasant it is for breth

THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY.

For amazing quickness Of growth
into huge figures of business the in
dustry of making automobiles and
their fittings is without parallel in
history. 1t has been only a few
years since the manufacture OF motor
cars was commenced This year
there are being produced in the Unit
ed States cars and their accessories
to the value of nearly half a billion
dollars. BY 1905 the industry had
acquired respectable start The
tremendous strides have come within
the past FIVE years. The official fig
ures, printed in an article in the
Review of Reviews, tell wonderful
story. In 1905 there were only 101
concerns manufacturing automobiles;
/ now there are $50. The number of
4 cars made in 1905 was 2S,400; in

Speaking of the useful auto, a
Bushnell paper reports that one day
last week farmer came into that
place with a farm wagon tied behind
his automobile The wagon needed
some repairs, and this was the handi-

the shop. That wagon probably went
faster than it ever did before. The

be heard all over that part of the
country.

UP TOTHE COUNTY COUNCIL

At the meeting of the town council
of Centerville last evening. repre-
sentative of the county commissioners
met with the board and negotiated for
the purchase of 50 lots of the Center
Vile Cemetery association, to be used
as the county pauper burying ground.
Robert Beeson. president Of the
board, stated this morning that the
town council of Centerville had set a
price Of $3.50 on the lots and $50 per
year for the care of this section of the
cemetery by an attendant, employed
at the cemetery Although the figure
is more than the county commissioners
felt should be paid, yet, taking every.
thing in consideration, they believe
it would be a wise expenditure.
The deal can not be completed with
out the approval of the county council
which meets next Monday. The coun-
Gil will have to appropriate the money
providing it believes that the expendi
ture is wise one. 1t is probable that
the present burying grounds of pau
pers at the county infirmary will be
improved and the graves kept in the
best condition. The board had con
sidered the advisability of disinterrine
the bodies and re-burying them in the
Centerville cemetery.
