Patience.

Once in while homes need to be
patient places. The children seem
rather disappointing; they do not
quickly discover their place or find
their niche. They must be allowed
time and room. In the household, as
everywhere else, tyranny over the In
dlvidual must be prohibited If there
are to be days of progress and con-
tentment.-Woman's Life.

A College Education.

Il. u. OuQcI WOOu, pISSluSul OIL tuc
Erie railroad, in the New York Globe:
The man without college education
is apt to over or under estimate its
Importance 1t is automatic that 1t
must profit man in some degree, and
the higher his natural endowments the
more benefit must be his by reason of
an education. Those who have not
college education are apt, perhaps, to
judge it as an end rather than a
means. To me college education
stands as training of four or more
years in a mental gymnasium. Posi-
bly, that thought is worth remember
ing.
The argument has been put forth
that the time spent in acquiring col
lege education could be better employ
ed in an apprenticeship at business.
Brief1ng the argument, four years at
the primary features of business give
young man a better start than four
years in college. They are excep-
tons to this in either direction, and
they must be taken as proof of the
general rule that a man entering on
any career with a trained mind, with
tie habit of clarified thinking, will, in
ten years, have better foundation
than the practical man without an ed
ucation and necessarily without the
trained habits of thought. Using a
sporting phrase, the man with the best
trained mental muscles will win the
fight
Promotion is not always a correct
test of worth. Education and ability
do not always secure it; environment
is quite the ruling factor. 1t has been
before stated that no matter what tai
ent man may have, If it is not avail
able at the market place for talent its
commercial value returned to its own
er is small.
A recent baccalaureate sermon ad-
vises young men to create environ
ment-a very noble sentiment which
sometimes can be accomplished by
men, not by boys. The average gradu-
ate can have but little to do in the
matter of business environment.
While one cannot find fault with the
sentiment, it's application is remote
and difficult. In meeting the prob
lens that constantly engage man
mind in corporate and executive posi-
tons. the trained mind is less liable to
charge into Balaklava blunder than
the unframed.
For obvious reasons, in time, all of
the larger positions in this country
will be filled by college men, if only
by the law of accretion, for given col
+ ege men in command you will have
college men for recruits. The self
educated man Of great ability cannot
be kept from the front, but it is incor-
rect for him to delude himself and
others with the idea that lack of col
lege education is the cause of his adj
vancement and create the impression
that college education is of little
benefit, and that advancement is soon
er had by an early apprenticeship be-
ing, in my opinion, an incident and
not cause.

Anpanoose County Official Gives
out statement That he Is

Work.
ARRANGEMENTS MAKING
everything Not Yet Complete for the
Negroes Hanging on the goth
Of This Month.

The score or more Keokuk people
who will go to Fort Madison on the
10Th day Of the present month to see
the hanging Of negro John Junkin
will see the trap sprung by Sheriff
Clark of Centerville. A number of local
persons through permission of the
officers In charge will be allowed to
see the hanging of the MURDER of the
Ottumwa girl.
The Des Moines Register and
Leader says of statement given
out by Sheriff Clark of Appanoose
county that he would spring the trap
that will break John Junkins neck,
and which ends the controversy as to
who will send the colored man to
eternity:
YES sir, III hang John Junkin."
said Sheriff John G. Clark of Appa-
moose county, today on his return
from a trip to Washington state after
a wife deserter. Il have never before
said that would hang him or that
would not. l didn't think that sub
ject to be making any particular
claims about, but / have just been
doing my duty as sheriff, and | pro-
pose to be found doing 1t July 20 next
at Fort Madison. 1t will not be John
Clark sending poor human soul into
eternity, but the majestic state of
Iowa. am its agent in carrying out
the decree of twelve good men and
true who sat on the jury and said he
should hang. Then the supreme court
said the vrdict should stand, and the
governor has not said otherwise, SO l
am ready to do the part which the
law imposes upon me-"
Sheriff Clark has not yet made any
of the detailed arrangements. He ex-
poets to give this matter attention In
few days. The law provides that at
least three days before the execu-
ton the sheriff shall notify the judge
who pronounced sentence, which is
Judge NJ. A. Roberts of Ottumwa, the
county attorney and clerk in this
county, the sheriff of Wapello coun.
ty. two physicians and twelve respect
able citizens of the state to be select
ed by him, to be present as witnesses
at the execution. At the request OF
the defendant two or more ministers
of the gospel, and any relatives may
attend, also peace officers, magis
trates and guards as the sheriff may
deem proper. Sheriff Clark expects &c
have this all properly attended to in
ample time so that the hanging may
be done in and according to all provi
sions of the law. The statute pro
vides that it take place between sun
rise and sunset of the day appointed
The only thing that can now save
Junkin from hanging on that day and
thus paying the complete penalty fol
the murder of Clara Rosen at Ottun1
wa, Feb. 5, 1909 will be the cIemency
of Gov. Carroll, Unless he specifically
interferes the day of execution vii
remain as first set by Judge Roberts
Should the governor postpone it Their
he will set the day. The general sup
position is that the law will take its
full course without delay.

KISSING the Dyina.

To kiss the dying was long con-
