Revelations in a Runaway

FURIOUSLY than ever before had
lanes trai1ed that afternoon. Never
had day been finer, the assemblage
of carriages and riders in the park
more brilliant, or Thurley more alive
with the effervescence of youth and
the fire of JOY.
Her horse, a superb Arabian, glossy
as the sun itself, and darlkly red as

and ached for a chance to let out
his powers for once and prove him

The TRAVELLING Man


The Travelling Man.
The travelling man has verv soft
snap.
NO wonder that he is CHEEKY old
chap.
Why all that he does is to get up and
Like the dickens at daybreak to catch
the SOL.
Then he rides in cool comfort the
wide country through
With q walk of mile for the SAP,
At the crossing, and when he has
caught, why he
Rides on to his breakfast at 9:5S.
No waiting for him; when his hasty
meals DER,
He gets by an eyelash the train at
1904
And sells tons of goods in way most
alive
For he's due to get out on the 1o:45.
He rests from his labors and talks
politics
AS the smoker jolts onward and then
at 1906
he leaps to a stool and the waiter,
thank Heaven
Makes haste, for the train leaves at
i2:47.
Inen gaily he dawdles along in a
freight
Ger two old streaks of rust and at
2.3S
He jumps on a bus and unbuckles
his line
Which he Tugs round the town till the
$40.
Once more he is off and he's jubi
liant when
He finds good meal where he lands
at $40,
And think you'll agree. for these
figures can't lie,
That the life of drummer is nothing
but pie.

Former Lieutenant Governor j. G.
Milliman of Logan has let it be known
that he is opposed to a presidential
primary in Iowa to select candidate
for President, for the reason that in
contest like the one proposed il
would not onlv make the breach in
the Republican party wider, but ii
would almost likely make the breach
irreparable. Such primary could
have no legal standing. and would
neither in fact nor good morals bind
anyone. In speaking of the matter
Mr.. Milliman said further that until
better and more stringent safeguards
are thrown around our present pri.
mary system he will have little or nc
use for it; and that many times he
has regretted the campaigns which
have taken place under the primary
system.

DEVICE TO KEEP CHEERFUL.
Consists Of List Of Evils That Might
Ordinarily Hefall An Ordinary
Person.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE "grumble-ome-
ter" is the latest device for keeping
cheerful under the stress of modern
conditions of life. 1t Is the invention
of NJ. Emil Deutsch de la Meurthe,
and simply consists in list of all the
evils which might conceivably befall
an ordinary person.
To obtain relief from life's little
worries and overindulgence in ones
own pet grievances, one has to pull
out the list and consult it. Reflection
upon the horrors that might have be.
fallen is guaranteed to restore the pa
tents equanimity.
The journal Excelsior has started a
competition to discover the twelve
worries which its readers judge to be
the most vexatious in life The win.
ming list starts with the death of dear
ones, and goes on through unhappy
marriage, treachery of friends, illness,
money worries, dishonor, parental
cares, disappointments, wounded
pride, family quarrels, servitude to In
digestion which closes the list.
One specimen "grumbler-ometer'
sent in included as the principal ills
that flesh is heir to the weather, old
age, tight boots, servants, mothers-in
law, insects and the Mona Lisa"

Where Poverty PAYS.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The Rev.
Will Motter Is pointed to with pride
by the people Of Manning and vicinity
He wanted an education. His people
We're poor and could do little for him.
And SO he worked his way through
Coe college and then through Prince
ton university. And it is safe to as
sumo that what he learned he has
gripped SO firmly that he will never
mislay it. and that he will be able to
teach it, and to put it before his hear
ers clearly. Poverty is sometimes
most inconvenient, but no doubt this
young man will be a better man, ne
will be better minister of the gospel
because he has known poverty and
has learned to do all kinds of WORK
and to be ashamed of no honest work
than if he had been the son of wealthy

President TAFT and the Tariff.

President Taft and the Tariff.
Creston Advertiser: In his speech
at Ottumwa President Taft declared:
Il am not a free trader. am pro-
tectionist pledged to a policy of pro-
tective tariff based on the difference
of cost of production In this country,
and the cost of production abroad
That's plain, straightforward state
ment that will set. well with any Re-
publican who is. really Republican.
Now If the Democrats will only adopt
an honest platform on the tariff ques-
ton, platform that will not permit
an honest man who believes in protec-
ton to remain in the party, that can
be understood by every man as being
entirely and distinctly opposed to the
policy Of protection, the country can
make its choice intelligently. The
possibility is however, that the Demo
cratic party will confine it's denuncia-
ton to Republican" protection, leav-
ing the implication that some other
kind of protection might be all right,
that it will adopt platform that will
permit the protectionists of the south
and of other sections to stand upon
it, that it will try to carry out its old
game of deception by talk of inciden-
tai protection. 1t was this dishonest
policy that involved the administra.
ton of Cleveland in difficulties which
split the party beyond repair and
which led to the adoption of a tariff
law that he declared involved party
perfidy and dishonor." The protection.
list and the free trader and the tariff
for revenue only advocate cannot
join forces before an election and
then enact an honest and satisfactory
and beneficial tariff law when con.
fronted with responsibility.

LET'S FoRGET-BUT STILL RE
MEMBER

number of people have been kind
enough to say that they cordially en-
dorse the article in Mondays Gate
City suggesting that no more carnival
companies be allowed to obstruct the
public streets in keokuk. All who
have expressed themselves on the
subject agree in saying that such
concerns are real injury to the
community and that their presence
should be discouraged. A few citizens
have suggested that the article might
have been made stronger without do
ing violence to the truth. One cores
pendent writes that Gin common with
others ! hoped you would roast the
outfit as it deserved" Another sug-
gests that the municipality bring suit
for damages to its reputation and
thus publicly absolve itself from all
responsibility. The suggestion is not
practicable and to roast" the carni-
val company would only give it add
tional publicity. The best course in
the matter is to say as little about 1t
as possible and forget it as promptly
as circumstances will permit. Com

have everything done ordered by a

who are, prating and parading on the
subject are claiming that in doing this
they are "progress1ves.,' The Ma.

"A funny way to progress. This
plan of government belonged back
thousands of years ago, and every
time that communities grew large.
the plan became top-heavy and the ma
lions or cities that used 1t went back
to barbarism. Out of such an un-
wieldly plan people progressed to
representative form of government;
to constitutions, codes. legislatures
and courts. turning our back upon
the constitution and representative
government and shrieking let the
people rule on every question that
comes up, instead of being progress
sives, in reality we are going back to
the very dawn of civilization"

RUBBING IL In.

The highly-esteemed Burlington
Hawk-Eye rubs it in after the follow
ing fashion:
'Keokuk is sadder. and let it be
hoped wiser, than she was a few
weeks ago. She had carnival. II
it had been her first, she might plead
ignorance. But she had been there
before. Just why any town that has
had one, should repeat the expert.
ment might prove difficult of explana
ton But, unless she should change
her mind, Keokuk will never have an
other 1t simply demonstrates that

OWLS WERE FLlM.FLAmmEp.

Report reaches The Gate City that
some people are disposed to hold the
local Owls responsible for the poor
quality of the entertainment on the
public streets last week If so, they
are doing the Owls an injustice. Rep
resentatives of that order contracted
for more and better shows than were
supplied by the carnival managers,
who alone are to blame for what was
foisted upon the community. In a
written contract entered into on Au-
gust 19 the carnival company obligated
itself 70 furnish fifteen meritorious
pay ATTRACTIONS, five free shows and
four mechanical devices. Instead it
omitted several of the best attractions
on its list, and such as were furnished
did not come up to the representations
made concerning them. The suspicious
of the Owls were aroused some two
weeks before the carnival began, and
there was talk of canceling the con-
tract, on the strength of reports from
other localities as to the poor quality
of the entertainment provided by the
carnival company. In signed article
in the Gate City of September IA Pro
moter Beckwith of the carnival com
pany denied the reports that had gain
ed currency regarding the number and
posed to offer and enumerated them
| in detail, closing with the words, "and
many other first class, free and anus
/ ing attractions" Relying upon these
assurances, the contract was continu.
ed in force.
Early in the week it was seen that
the so-called attractions were a
serious disappointment, and counsel
was taken of local business men as
| to what was best to be done under
the circumstances. These advised
that, as the carnival was in progress
it be allowed to continue. 1t was then
too late to mend matters 1t is but
simple Justice to the local Owls to
say that they were as badly disappoint.
ed as were the rest of the community
and that they regret the matter more
| probably than anyone else In view
of the facts in the case it follows that
| whatever criticism is voiced should
be directed against the managers OF
the carnival company and not against
the Owls. either as an organization or
4 individually. The Owls acted in per.
4 feet good faith and it was not their
/ fault that the entertainment offered
was not up to what they in common
with the general public felt they had
a right to expect

DR.. tombstone of Chicago, speaking
in Kewanee, ILL.,. last Sunday called
attention to the fact that the Grim
mails of today are not old men. They
are young men-boys. in fact, not yet
twenty-one years of age. Statistics
show that the great majority Of ar
rests are of young men under twenty
most of them between sixteen and
twenty. The fact is powerful argu.
ment in favor of surrounding boys
with influences of the rignr kind. Y.
M. G. Associations and other agencies
organized for this purpose are worthy
of liberal support, both from a moral
and economic point of view.

THE MATTER OF HYMNS.

Some of the modern hymns sung
mainly in Sunday Schools are proper
ly being eliminated in revision of
the song books used in the church to-
day, according to Dr. Andrew Gillies,
a leading figure in the deliberations
of the Northern Minnesota confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church in session in Minneapolis
Speaking of the statement of Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey that
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere is Silly"
DR.. Gillies said:
Governor Wilson's criticism is an
expression of the general trend to-
ward greater discrimination in the
chorus of hymn-a return to the
hymns which combine inspiring poetry
and moving music, after season of
popularity of the jingles of the Moody
and Sankey popular music types"
On the other hand DR.. Robert
Forbes of Philadelphia advanced the
argument that there are hymns of
this sort which are neither good
poetry nor good logic, but which
nevertheless move people, and that
after all it is great thing to move
people right DR.. Forbes went on to
say:
Some hymns which can be con-
demned as logic probably will be sung
when Governor Wilson and are gone.
I, of course, favor the old hymns which
have long been used in the churches.
But you cannot reduce hymns to
syllogisms. Logic? Why most people
would not recognize syllogism If
they met it upon the street.

INDIAN SUMMER.

lNOiAN SUNNI En-.
The whole world seems to be lost in
dreams,
Wrapped in slumber deep,
And the soft breeze kisses the drow-
sy trees
And sings the fields to sleep.
The gold-tinged leaf, like tear of
grief,
Falls soft on the violet's grave,
And the scar grass stands, with
clasped hands,
And watches the pulseless wave.
The silvery CLEAN of the limpid
Is yelled by smoky haze.
And the pale clouds sleep in the sky's
blue deep,
Like the ghosts of departed days.
"A quiet broods DER the solitudes
Where the birds no longer sing,
And over the hills soft music thrills,
Like the stir of an angels wing.
With beck and nod the golden rod
Bends over the daisy, pale,
While unseen bands from angel lands
Gu Tustling through the vale
Oh, fair young Spring is a reckless
thing,
And Summers a welcome guest,
But the fearful haze of the autumn
days,
Suiteth my spirits best
Edgar Welton Cooley.
