PICNIC AT BETHEL.
Big Crowd Enjoys Day There Last
Thursday.

A childrens service and picnic
was held at Bethel church on the old
Charleston road, on Thursday, July
Goth and quite q crowd was In at
tendance. The programme OF the
hour was very tastily arranged and
well rendered by the pupils Of the
Sunday school.
The first was a welcome by Mas
ter Marvin Hughes and a song by
little George Hughes, which would
have done creli. to child much old
er.
Next was a missionary dialogue,
"Why Not" by Bette Hughes and
May Dennis.
"The Finding of The Cross" was
next recited by Miss Annie Pearson,
in which she showed careful prepa-
ration and held the audience spell
bound.
No less did Miss Virgie Davis as
she recited "The Model Church
while sweet music was softly rem
dered by the organist.
Last of the young people was
Marion Flairey, who gave us the
"First Settlers Story" in his own
free and easy manner, displaying his
accomplishment as a reader.
After this part of the programme,
we had two delightful addresses by
the Pastor, Rev. J. L. Phillips, and
Mr.. M. A. Arant, better known as
"Uncle Mike" whom we all kno"
and love. They impressed beautiful
ly upon the children the Importance
of an cary acceptance of Christ In
their lives as means to happiess
tbs world. After the doXology came
another important part of the pro-
gramme.
We were ushered to table load
ed with the many good things to eat
as only the Bethel folks can serve,
assisted by some Of their guests.
There was no lack Of well-done pigs,
as myself beheld three and did not
find out how many were behind me.
1t is needless to say that we did JUS
tice to the inner man.
After resting awhile, 1t was
thought that call work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" so the
amusement committee gave the pic
nickers good time by some inno-
cent amusement by the little folks.
The prize winners were Legare Pear
son, Willie Edwins, Kittie O'Caln,
Marion Board and Essie Myers. by
way of variety, cream and soft
drinks were served for the purpose
of putting a deep we'll on the church
grounds. AS the shadows began
deepen, the crowd slowly dispersed,
feeling that they had spent a delight
full day. One present.

Increase.

On June 25th there was lnsCalled
at the local post Office postal say
ings system and deposits are now
being regularly accepted. The Eds
to Savings Bank has been named as
the postal savings depository for this
Office.
The plans for the new public
building have been drawn, submitted
ITO Postmaster Webster and approx
ed with slight changes and actual
operation in the construction Of this
post Office building will commence
on the first of the year 1912. The
original appropriation Of s50.000 for
this building was made by Congress
three years ago, but the delay in
the construction Of the building has
been brought about because of the
asking for an additional appropria-
tion Of $4,000, which was granted
last year. The site for the public
building was purchased at price
of $4,000, leaving $4,000 with
which to erect and then equip
the post Office building. The site
selected is easily accessible and when
The building is completed, with its
basement, main and messanine floors,
will present handsome and improv-
ing appearance: The building will
in all probability be constructed of
pressed brick and granite. The
building will be located upon the cor
ner Of Church street and Court House
Square.

Crops have improved wonderful
of late and corn will not be quite as
short as was thought "a short time
ago. Some sections suffered more
than others, especially where the
crowding system was in vogue. The
yield of this grain crop as whole
where not crowded too much will
be comparatively satisfactory. AS to

making this statement the writer is
not exaggerating one whit. In a

for a number of years, some extra
fine specimens of this fruit are seen
on all sides. Notwithstanding late

better than usual, the fruit being
mora perfect and free of WORMS. A.
considerable quantity are being put
up for wi1ter use.

Every man has to be something more
than the world knows him to be. The
man whom the world knows as q great
and reverend judge is only my papa
to the little children who listen for his
step on the walk or his knock at the

The great man becomes a private citi-
zen and the most humble toiler,' to the
Titles ones depending on him Tor
guidance and support, becomes great
man. For mans house is his castle,
said the great iawmaker. Sir Edward
Coke. Let this house be made OF
boards or bricks or granite walls. 1t Is
presumed to be equally as invulneraple

to make OF him, we shall judge men
more correctly. - Christian Science

Glory Of Brave Failure.

It is rather curious that in world
which is supposed to worship success
there should be so little praise Tor the
successful and so much for those VINO
tail admira bly,.
A man or woman who succeeds
reaps his or her own reward. They
gain riches, fame, friends-anything
upon which their hearts are set-and
they gain little credit. But for those
who do not succeed but bear failure
we'll there is much honor.
If you hear it said of any one that
he is good loser. you know at once
that he has received one of the finest
Of all possible compliments.
To have tried. to have failed. and
to have borne the failure well-that
has always seemed excellent. And on
the other hand we have agreed that
those who bear loss or failure badly
shall be considered intolerable. 1t Is
not merely that the woman who loses
some money and spends most OF the
rest of her life in telling all her ac-
ouaintances how and why she lost 1t
is a bore. There are plenty OF bores.

$50 far as my personal conduct is
concerned in the so-oalled Indian
cases." said Mr.. Birdsall II am willing
to abide by the conclusions reached by
the bar committee appointed by Judge
Reed. who were: Hon. L. G. Hurd. OF
Dubuque. F. w. Dawley. Of Cedar Rap
ids. and NJ. F. Healy. Of Fort Dodge.
This committee went into the case in
its every detail and this is a portion Of
its report"
TT is also the contention Of eat
torney Birdsall that his sole object
in entering into the negotiations
which ended in the payment Of this
money was to secure evidence by
which all those who were parties to
the scheme of levying this graft might
be exposed and convicted. That he had
such purposes in mind is borne out by
evidence which we think incontrovert-
ible.
Attorney Birdsall Immediately up
on the suggestion OF paying money
by him disclosed the suggestion to
others: discussed the propriety Of his
opening and carrying on negotiations
and paying the money for the pur-
pose Of exposing the corruption; took
photographs of letters received from
Deputy Tracy and took various pre-
cautions to preserve evidence Of the
negotiations and of his expressed In
tertion of preserving them for the
purpose aforesaid
