did not mean throWdown for Pail

discussion on other matters.

WEST POINT.

What might have proved a fatal
accident occurred to four West Point
young people Monday night. Fred
Klopfenstein, Robert Wilson and the
Misses Helen and Katie BrockmAn had
driven to TT. Madison In Homer Halls
auto. Mr.. Klopfenstein being the
driver. AS they were returning home on
the rock hill just out Of TT. Madison
Mr.. Klopfenstein attempted to pass
Robert Gardner who was in an auto
just ahead the car that Mr.. Klopgen-
stein was driving was light one and
turning so quickly turned over and
completely wrecked the car. Robert
Wilson and Katie Brockman were
practically unhurt, Mr.. Klopfenstein
seriously bruised and Helen Brock
Imam seriously injured. She was
picked up unconscious and taken back
to Fl. Madison by Mr.. Gardner. Her
wounds are mostly of local natura
being badly cut about the face and
head, and 1t is thought. nothiong seri-
GUS will result from the accident but
how they all escaped death seems
a mystery as the car turned over
several times.

womAN,s IDEA OF MONEY.

The head of the recently establish
Cd denartment of domestic science in
the university Of Wisconsin has issued
= bulletin in which he makes the
astonishing assertion that 100000
ono are annually spent in the United
states for food, shelter and clothing.
and that fully 80 per cent Of this
amount is spent by women who are
without the least idea of the value of
money. Out OF this, OF course, the
professor urges the necessity Of wom-
On taking the domestic economy
course in his university.
"There seems to be no rule of the
road that can be enforced when col

a load Of statistics" the st. Paul
pioneer Press observes. There Is
some question whether $10,000,000,O0 900
are spent in this country annually for
clothes. shelter and food, and very
grave doubt whether the women, skill
led or ignorant in the value Of money,
spent S9,OO0,O00,0O0 Of that amount.
Even accepting the figures as reason
ably accurate, the professor is far
aAeld when he declares that women
do not have any knowledge Of the

adds:

that womeE are more successful than

the reasons why it should not be
treated by the president or the coun-

tIn less than a year from now the
friends of President Taft will feel
grateful to the allied democrats and
insurgent republicans for what they
are now doing to put the president in
a hole" the Burlington Hawk-Eye
says. 'The effort will be abortive and
the country will rapidly come into
knowledge of the motive. And when
that understanding is gained, the
pathway of Mr.. Taft will be an easy
one to travel in. Go on. gentlemen,
with your political patchwork on the
tariff, your thimble rigging and the
beating of the tom-toms. The more
noise you make the more the atten-
ton Of the people will be drawn to
your antics and the more your insin-
cerity will be revealed to a gazing
and wondering public"

The Des Moines Capital had been
under the impression that it had been
somewhat dry here in Iowa this sea-
son. but has changed it's mind since
reading the following from the Alta
correspondence to the Atlanta, Ca,
Constitution:
1T Is so dry here that wagons are
going around with their tongues
out. Ice has to be soaked in
water all night before it is wet enough
to make lemonade. The catfish kick up
such dust in the bed of the river
that the river has to be sprinkled be-
fore you can go fishing. A spark from
an engine set fire to a pond and
burned up a lot of bullfrogs before the
fire could be extinguished, and the
ground is so dry and hard that craw-
fish holes in low places are being
pulled up and used for gas pipes"
