Tic Ola Cider Barrel

The Old Cider Barrel
How dear to my heart is the old cider
barrel,
AS fond recollection presents IL to
view!
The place where they kept it corked up
in the cellar
rs as fresh in my mind as it ever was
too.
The damp, whitewashed walls, the pota-
toes and turnips,
The apples we'd picked when the
weather was fair
How well ! recall them, how gladly ]
fingered
Beside the old barreldeposited there
The old cider barrel, the hard cider
barrel,
The iron-hooped barrel confronting
me there.
Once armed with a gimlet, l went to
the barrel
Dear father and mother had gone for
the day;
] bored a small hole and slipped a straw
through it,
And ceased to be troubled while suck
ing away.
] found it the source of an exquisite
pleasure
Till things in my fancy seemed softly
to blend,
And l couldn't have told whether i or
the barrel
Was dancing around or still standing
on end
The old cider barrel, the hard cider
barrel,
The i~ron-hooped barrel that stood
upon erd. :
Somehow ! got out of the old white
washed cellar
And whooped and hurrahed and made
merry awhile;
They say that my shouting aroused all
the n~eighbors
Who lived in a circle of less than a
mile.
At last my fond parents came home
from their visit,
The things that ensued ! shall never
forget;
acquired a hatred of hard cider barrels
That long has been ranking and
clngs to me yet
II all the hard cider were spilled in the
ewers
I'D look on the waste and be free
from regret.

From waubay Advocate


John Hawkins was a Webster visitor
Monday.
DIR. Fl. j. Herman, of Webster, was
a visitor in town Friday.
c. f. Brooks, of Webster, was here
Monday OF business and pleasure.
Henry Bundrock attended to business
matters in Webster Friday evening.
G. G.. LaseIl underwent an operation
Monday and at last reports was doing
nicely.
Miss Dilly Ferris, who has been Wis
iting at the F. c.. Palmer home fer a
week, left for Webster Friday evening.
Dr. Fl. c. Peabody brought in two car
loads of sheep Tuesday and shipped
them TO the eastern market. He
accompanied them.
Father Dolney, of Leola, arrived
Tuesday afternoon on the flyer and
went out to Grenville where he will
take Father James Wojtowicz' place
while the latter is away on a vacation.
Carl Jorgenson received a very pain
full injury Monday while working on a
corn shredder. He was feeding corn
into the machine when his hand caught
on the teeth of the cylinder, pulling it
in and badly cutting three of his
fingers. When receiving medical aid it
was found necessary to amputate a por-
ton of two of the fingers. Had it not
been for his brother, who was close by
and threw off the belt, it is likely that
the injury would have been much worse.

when we consider the evils of war
our eyes are directed almost exclusively
to the combatants themselves. We
have no thoughts for the non-eombat-
ants. The truth is that the most
frightful sufferings of war are borne
by the wives and children of those who
fight.
"A wound to the loved one in battle
strikes more cruelty those who have to
wait at home. Physical suffering
usually dissipates the fear Of death.
Men a suffer and die bravely In the
excitement of war, but harder, much
harder, to bear is the mortal agony of
those who must wait, without power,
to help the dear ones in danger.
''The financial side of war, too, has
its strong aspect. 1t is proper that the
world at large should have something
10 say about quarrels between particu-
lar nations. The Of nations
is now so involved and related that war
between two nations is Interference
with all nations.
Trade RaraIyzed by War
For instance, i have $40, 0 invested
in German securities. The German
goes to war and / must suff r, although
I am an American citizen. I~nterna-
tional efforts TO prevent war rest upon
equitable as we'll as humanitarian
rights. The result of war is not only
a loss of life, but OF a partial paralysis
Of trade.
Men will not fight If they have time
to grow cool. Nations will not fight if
they have time to think. The penalties
and degradations vi war are too great,
the agencies of the weak and helpless,
the aged, the other non-eombatants are
too horrible, the waste of wealth, the
destruction OF industry and commerce
are too vast to be endured when there
is a way to peace.
81 am in favor of the general arbi-
tration treaty principle, and ! indorse
the idea OF new treaties with Crest
Britain and France because / believe
that questions which might otherwise
result in war should be first taken away
from the influence of party politics and
considered seriously in the calm, neutral
air of some impartial tribunal whose
findings must at least morally bind the
~eontending nations to submit to inter-
national arbitration all questions which
may be found solvable.
THE worlds greatest need is a
breakwater against temporary passions.
War is too horrible to be entered upon
in cold blood and with deliberation
when there is any other possible way
to settle the question in dispute"

Cardinal GIBBONS For Peace

Cardinal Gibbons in an interview
Monday sounded again the call for
international peace and urged the rati-
ication of President Taft's arbitration
treaties.
81 sincerely hope that the new arbi-
tration treaties negotiated by our
national government with Great Britain
and France will be ratified by ths sem
ate,' said Cardinal Gibbons. They
should receive the support of the whole
country. 1t is of the utmost import
ance that civilized nations should bind
themselves in advance to submit to
arbitration all international questions
which can be settled by the application
Of principles Of law and equity and !
can see no reason why there should not
be appointed joint commissions to
investigate international controversies
and determine whether particular ques-
tons are Of such a character, SO that
each nation viii be in honor bound to
submit these issues to international
arbitration rather than to resort to war.
THAT idea represents the best spirit
Of the age. 1t has behind 1t the
Endorsement OF the Christian world.
Among the many advantages OF
international arbitration. it seems to
me, to be = serviceable breakwater

Dean Sterling "Comes Down"
Dean Sterling's formal declaration
for La Toilette, under pressure from
the insurgent leaders, places his sena-
torial candidacy upon a much lower
plane than it has hitherto occupied.
Coming as it does, after a big stick
welding performance in the plain sight
of everybody, the announcement must
be described as an undignified conces-
sion from a nan whose entry into
South Dakota politics promised to add
dignity to the game. When the Ster-
ling candidacy was projected it was
offered strictly on merit. The candi-
date presented a progressive platform
in accord with popular sentiment as it
is understood to prevail in South
Dakota. Loyalty was professed to
principle, without any mention of men.
There was no appeal to factionism as
it had been defined in South Dakota.
Dean Sterling's candidacy was calcu-
lated to appeal to republicans on Doth
sides of the old fractional line as we'll as
on both sides of the new line that is
now being drawn between the supper
tiers of Taft and La Follett. Sterling
as a candidate had positive strength OF
his own, and in addition his candidacy
appeared attractive to republicans who
were weary of the old fractional
division. 1t represented, in fact, the
most refreshing move made in South
Dakota politics since factionism has
been at the front. When the La Fol.
lette movement came on Sterling
assumed a noncommittal attitude. HI
was willing to let the voters decide the
issue at a primary, and give his sup.
port to either Taft or La Toilette
according to the outcome. Consider
ing the independence of his candidac,
at the outset this was the logical atti
tude for him to assume. Many TAT
men were among his supporters. bu
they exerted no pressure to make hin
declare for Taft. The La Folletts mel
were less considerable. They serve.
plain notice that Sterling would hav'
to come out for La Toilette, or Their
would be another candidate for senator
an insurgent who would get the LaFoI
lette strength. These threats wer

MARKER HAS THE GOODS

Alma Marker of Idaho Falls, has
an ad In this issue Of the Republican,
to which we invite your attention.
Mr.. Marker carries an exceptionally
complete stock of sporting goods and
all that pertains to music, books and
stationery. Beginning In 1884 with
small stock, he worked systemati-
cally to find out what is needed In
this valley and to have 1t on hand
in such quantity that he can supply
families or parties at any hour they
call for It.
When Marker shows customer
something for fishing trip he gen.
orally shows him all that he came
for and a lot of clever devices that
the customer never knew were made.
If it is something for duck hunt,
Marker has everything needed by the
most fastidious hunter of fowls,
whether the fellow comes from little
old New York or from everywhere
and wants something he has learned
to use in each place.
But great as is the variety of
things needed in sporting goods, mus
ic and music lore furnishes a far
more varied demand, and Markers
Music Store has come to be known
as the place where the goods needed
can be obtained. When the histor-
ian makes a list of the names of men
who have helped make Idaho Falls
trade center by placing the goods
there that people want, and by deal
ing so fairly that it is always a
pleasure to buy of him, either by mail
or by making selections personally in
the store, he will place Markers
name near the top of the list, because
he measures up to the high mark on
both counts.
Read his ad in this issue and see
what it means to stock such store
as he has.

window, call for it at the same hours

window to be open.
Sending Out Packages
Be sure to do up your packages
SO they will not come undone by be-
ing jostled about in the pouch and
the cars or stages. Remember your
package is only one of carload, and
it must be fixed so it will stand
tanning around. If the package is
sealed it must go at first class or let
ter postage rate, and that will be
rather expensive if it is a book or
other heavy thing. Do not mail any
thing with ornaments or rough things
on the outside, things that may cling
to the strings of other packages. and
break them. Do not mail anything
with liquid in it, or glass or breaka-
Bile things unless packed in somethi ing
that will protect it.
Posting Things at Night
If you post package or letter at
ter $3.50 in the evening it will not go
out on the night train, but will re-
main in the office until morning.
This is because the messenger who
takes the pouches to the train has
to sleep some, and when the evening
train goes north he brings all the
pouches for the night, and then goes
to bed. Postmaster Curtis made ap-
plication to have the fellow get up
at three in the morning to carry the
belated letters that find their way in
to the office after $3.50 but UncleSam
considered the matter and instructed
Mr.. Curtis to put up notice showing
people that the night mails close at
$3.50, and he posted it.
Your Uncle Samuel and all his
postmen are doing their level best
these days to get your mail to you
the minute it is due, and if you will
notice, you will observe that we, the
people, seldom express our apprecia-
tion of the mails that reach us on
time, but If something is delayed, we
raise an awful fuss about it, freeing
our minds to our neighbors and maxi,
ing them feel that perhaps somebody
in the postoffice is trying to, be
Peck's Bad Boy And even if this
were the case, which it isn't, there is
no use of talking to the neighbors
about it, the postmaster is the only
one that can regulate matters among
the postal clerks. When things go
wrong and you can't rest until you
have made complaint, make it at
the postoffice and be sweet about it.,
They don't feel very good over being
roasted for everything that goes
wrong, and constant scolding dis
courages the best postmaster there
is, SO he doesn't feel like there is
much use in trying.
Did 1t ever occur to you that the
fellows in the postoffice like to get
Christmas letters and Christmas
packages? Betchuneverdid, you were
so busy wanting them for yourself
