WILLARD EATON DEAD,

Willard Eaton, formerly high in state
politics and recently a member Of the
Iowa railroad commission, is dead at
his homo in Usage. He has a wide and
friendly acquaintance across the state
which will greet the news Of his death
with sincere sorrow
Mr.. Eaton was a capable man in pol
1t1cs and good lawyer professionally
respected in private life. He thought
wen and had the faculty of expression
which makes men who think forceful
and convincing. He had been much In
public life and office as mayor of his
nome city, member OF the general as
sembly and Of commissions and had
been prominently urged for congress
from his district. His state wide prom
lnence came when he opposed Bowen
for the speakership in the notable
campaign between Senator Gear and
A. B. Cumnins for the senatorship His
election to the railway commission
dated from his hard work and firm
stand with the progressive element in
that session Of the legisla ture.
Eaton died at sixty-three, of a very
common disease, which Is becoming
commoner. hardening Of the arteries.
His death was too early. Men NAV live
longer If they will. Hard work in Of
hces, whether public or private. scant
attention to exercise and lack Of out
doors, kills more public men and nri-
Vate citizens at comparatively early
age than war, and pestilence and nat

Cow and Golf.

Justice Harlan was playing golf one
day with a friend who was noted for
making long drives This man found =
COW in his path, but. not daunted by
the obstacle, drove his ball with great
force In the direction he wanted it to
co. The ball landed in the cows mouth.
Straightaway the Judges friend chased
the COW. The startled animal turned
tail and ran, still carrying the ball. Her
pursuer began belaboring her with his
club as the pair went racing over the
links. Finally the COW, on reaching
putting green, dropped the ball. 1t
landed in a good position and the golf
er I1oIed out in one stroke Justice Har-
Ian followed in leisureiy fashion and
made 1t in eight strokes, claiming the
hole. "But made it in two" exclaimed
his friend. 1.-TWO nothing" said the
Judge; "you mean thirty-two. I was
watching you. and every time you hit
the cow counts a stroke"
