dollar. Nov" said he. When
dot boy comes in if he takes dot
dollar he's going to be a beeznis

going to make a preacher; if he
takes dot whiskey he's no good,
and going to be a drunkard. y
Then he hid behind a door to
see which his son would choose.
In came the boy whistleing, He
ran up to the table picked up the
bible and put it under his arm,
then snatched up the bottle, took
two or three drinks, picked up
the dollar and put it in his pock-

and exclaimed; "Mein Got, he's

We never have more than we
can bear. The present hour we
are always able to endure. AS
our day, so is our strength. If the
trials of many were gathered in
to one, they would over whelm
us; therefore, in pity to our little
strength, He sends first one, then
another, then removes both, and
lays on third, heavier, perhaps
than either; but all is so widely
measured to our strength that
the bruised reed is never broken.
We do not enough look at our
trials in this continuous and sue
cessive view. Each one is sent
to teach us something, and alto
gether they havea lesson which
is beyond the power of any to
teach alone. H. E. Manning.

What do you say about a level
turn pike to the Ohio River? 1t
can be had. The level right-of
way could easily be surveyed by
going north, down the Rochester
Branch to Crooked Greek, then
almost a Decline to Fords Ferry
across the bends of the creek at
the outer edge Of the bottoms,
without any hills to climb until
near the river the road could
gradually ascend above the high
water level or out of the way
of back water. Heavy loads
hauled over without locking or
scotching wagons. No brakes
needed. Two horses could pull
a six horse load as the road now
is. Such a road would mean
almost as much as a railroad
and it would cover one-half the
distance to Weston and the coal
mines. Poorer counties than
Crittenden have turnpikes.
What's the matter with us? We
have the material and could raise
the money. who says we don t
need the road?

SEND PHOTOGRAPHERS TO COON RAPIDS.

The greatest improvement on Main

about twenty that Coon Rapids had

will say that the town vet has some

but this would not affect in any way
the putting up Of the number of good
brick buildings, costing thousand, nor
the installation of electroliers to beau
tifuIly light the streets an improve
ment which even no saloon town in
the country has. These improvements
show that the business men on the
whole are in no sense discouraged or
cast down over the disappearance of
the saloon. with its revenue, but on
the other hand have greater faith than
ever in their town, and If anything
more interest and pride in it. Others
may say that these Improvements
would have been made any way. even
had the saloons continued, which may
be true, but the bold fact nevertheless
stands out that big improvements go
right on without the saloon and that no
town IN the country which has saloons
ha made the progress this year that
Coon Rapids has, and our police court
is doing virtually nothing and our town
jail is so nearly completely empty all
the time that It is the lonesomest place

formerly went for booze Is now spent
among our business men or laid aside

rEAeH IT TO THE CHILDREN

When your little girl got her new
coat this fall what was done with the
old. one which was fairly respectable
but which she had outgrown? When
your boy who shot up so this summer
found that last years overcoat wouldn't
set you back for a new one what went
the the perfectly good coat which was
too small for him? DID he have boy
In mind who - Juld At that coat and
who was shivertng without it, some
deserving boy who lacked a coat thru
no fault Of his own: and had the little
girl noticed some child whose need sug-
gested further usefulness for the coat
her new one supplanted?
The easiest thing In the world is to
call up some one whose business it is
to care for the very poor and say you
have boys overcoat and a girls coat
1t is an excellent thing to do if you
couldn't do better. but 1t gives the chill
dren an impersonal impression of hu-
man needs and their own opportunities
to relieve them. The better way is to
encourage your girl and boy to see need
to make personal observation and quiet
and helpful distribution Of their won
gifts. It's a good habit to help along
and a splendid aid to true character.
Most men are fairly willing to be
charitable. The helpful and human in
stinct Is IN every heart. But few men
and women are actually observant of
the struggles Of other men and women
until the choice between actual starva-
ton and cold and appeal for public
charity comes to the unfortunate
There are always deserving people who
need a little help. Few Of them would
refuse the overcoat or the coat the boy
and girl outgrew. Why not let the new
one suggest to your children that i,

Bound 70 supoor+ TAFT.

Walter L. Houser. chairman Of the
republican progressive campaign COM
mittee. insists that he gets more in
formation from the average voter than
from the political leader. A short time
ago Mr.. Mouser wrote some letters to
farmers In Kansas at the suggestion
Of a progressive in that state. An
answer to- one Of these letters Mr..
Houser believes to be not only, sound
political Judgment. but also q refiec-
ton Of the general opinion Of thought
full voters turnout the country. *
The letter was written to Mr.
Houser by ]. A. Lester, Of Haxelton,
Kan. It reads:
"Youpr letter concerning q vigorous
campaign for Senator LaFollette IL at
hand In reply would beg to say that
I am decidedly in favor OF Mr.. Tafts
nomination and all the republican
plums have will be thrown to him.
II think he deserves to be renom-
mated because OF the good things he
has done since he has been president.
You known he was the immediate
cause Of the destruction Of several
possoms in the southland and no
doubt saved q good many chickens
and think that was real nice Of him:
besides that he is very kind old man:
he wants to give everybody Except
the people) what they ask for, he has
plenty of vetoes lying around loose
and always handy: he is always ready
with extra feed for the fat hogs Of the
country.
"My second reason for being for Taft
is that II years ago I was born
good. sweet democrat and am still In
the faith. and If Mr.. Taft is renom-
mated the democrats will have an
easy time and less expense. but II La
Toilette is nominated, it will mean lots
of hard work and lots Of money.

WHY MRS. RUSH WENT FREE.
TThompson Courier.1

All over the state there 10 mourning
because the Hampton woman went
free after killing faithless husband
We have read articles by the score
telling how she should have been con-
victed, and what a travesty Of justice
it was to set her free.
or course. one Of the writer's ON the
subject gave any good reason why the
women should be convicted. They
quoted a lot of dry law. forgetting that
there is no law except public opinion
They looked with horror on the ver-
dict Of the jury. forgetting that the
impulses which govern the human
heart are the real reason why every
thing in this world is or is not. Hoary
heads may shake. goodly souls may
shudder, but red blood is red blood,
and when 1t turns another color you
may bid goodbye to civilization. no
matter how much wealth and educa-
ton has been accumulated.
The jury which tried that Hampton
woman knew she killed her husband.
Most Of them knew her husband. They
sized up the situation and decided that
any one Of them In the same position
with the same amount Of nerve would
have done the same thing. So they
set the woman free. Not because she
was innocent Of violation Of the law.
but because the occasion was one
which the law did not adequately
cover. and they covered 1t. That is
what Juries are for. You make laws
galore but the jury il there to de-
eide whether or not the man Is guilty
OF something for which he should be
punished.
Otherwise. we might as well dis
pense of the jury altogether, and al
low learned judges to decide. Certain
ly, they would come nearer to legal
decisions.
The jury said. Let the woman go
free" The crowd applauded. Vox
Populi vox Del.

MORAL: DON'T TRIP"
TThompson Courier. ]


The editorial page Of the Marshall
town Times Republican published the
following rather dangerous sentiment:
Sometimes a woman trips and bruises
her reputation. II she refuses to rise
again. she stays there. But she can
get up again"
This sounds pretty. but is it true?
Go back down the line in your memory
and see how many women you can re-
member who have tripped and "got up
again" Possibly. among all the count
less millions Of women who have fallen
there have been few who have been
able to rise again. but 1t has been such
an Infinitely small percentage that to
mention It In words Of hope is cold
comfort.
After you think It over. you will
agree with us that the chances are jus,
about million to one against the
woman who trips. The moral is: Don't
trip.
