There are few worries of life which
man cannot now and then shake off
but who can shake himself free from
the skeleton in the closet, from the
worry of the household, a day will
tell how many man carried that with
him without wincing down to the
grave. When husband and wife are
helpmate to each other in the best
sense: when order and love and good
ness prevail in the house, then the
man who has hard battle in life to
fight can leave his struggles behind
him when he enters there. With all
our faults we are the most home loving
of people and that is the reason why
we are the greatest of people.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1911-09-07

When one is inclined to worry, the
remark of an old lady should be recall.

heap of trouble in my time, and most
Of it never happened"

Many and long We're the conferences

does not know what took place al
La Granja and Santader the world
does know that Alfonso Kill soon be-
came different man. He Travelled
and became imbued with the spirit
of advancing Europe: he applied HIM
self to departmental details, familiar
lzins himself with faulty condition in
governmental affairs, which We're in
| many cases speedily remedied.
The premier and his cabinet off
Gals soon realized that the former
weak and varillating youth really had
ideals and that their measures were
not as easily carried through as for
merry. Alfonso studied his people.
He visited all the provinces of his
kingdom.
Above al he abandoned the puerii-
tiles which We're scandalizing not only
Madrid but all Europe as WELL AL
lonso became a real king. Victoria
was victorious. and Spain today can
thank that noble woman for the path
which has been hcWn for the ad.

out the country.
These changes occurred about two
years ago. Since that time this UNI
tried young man has developed into
one Of the most capable rulers of
Europe Ministries came and fell,
but each situation was handled in a
cool and collected manner which
commanded the respect of even his
enemies and the people of the nation.
In 1909, the open sore of Spain, the
Moroccan situation. again broke out.
Then 1t was that Alfonso proved
himself to be more than a puppet
king. The revolt was speedily ter
minated by an iron hand. The king
declared his intention of going into
Morocco, and it was only with the
greatest difficulty that the cabinet dis
suaded him. The Spanish public
which admires bravery more than
any other virtue, enthused with the
bold declarations of their young king;
the press lauded his spirit, and AL
lonso returned with a rush into pop
ular favor
In the palace in Madrid amid the
pressure Of other activities daily he
wrote and mailed dozens of picture
postcards to the officers in Morocco.
Aside from departmental correspond
ence the generals received encourag-
ing letters commencing their services
and expressing regret at his inability

spends several months each year.

HEAT TO BLAME
IrOnQuill's Death Brought on
by TOrrid Wave.
Last Evening Spent Reading
Aloud to His Friends.
REACHES HOME; DIES
Poet Compelled to Rest on Way
to Cabin.
Mind Never Keener Than Just
Before Death Called.

Kansas City, July SIT was Kansas
that inspired many of Ironquills most
delightful verses To his trlends
Eugene Ware had several times ex-
pressed the desire that when the end
came to him it might be in kansas
the state that had been his home so
many years and which he loved SO
Well The Kansas poet was denied
that wish by his sudden death at Cas-
cade, Col, Sunday night. But ne did
die among Kansans.
It was Mr.. Bigger who told of the
last hour, before the Ironquin was
stilled.
I'VE were all sitting in the front
room of my cabin at Cascade that
night" Mr.. Bigger said. My wife
and Eugene and Mrs. Ware He SEEM
ed so much better and stronger since
coming to the mountains and talked
hopefully of doing considerable writ
ing during the summer. Mrs. J. X
Hudson, the widow of an early day
newspaper editor in Kansas, had lent
me a copy of the Wager of Battle
1t was a story of the struggle of the
Normans and the Saxons, a virile
book. Gene glanced through the pages
and proposed that we all read it to-
gether. So we gathered in circle
around him while he read.
Wares delightful personality, his
keen wit and mind, never showed
more brilliantly than when he was
reading something he really enjoyed
He read page after page. Occasional
ly he would stop to make some bright
comment I remember his ejaculat-
ing several times that it was great
stuff The Virility of the characters
Impressed him. He read on and on
About 10 o'clock he suggested that
he'd better go home. Well finish it
another night he said. He started
home. l held the light while they
started toward their own summer
home. 'Good-by.' he called back
The Seizure Was Sudden.
The Ware cabin stood on a little
knoll AS Ware reached the top step
Of the long flight, he stopped and sat
down.
''I'll have to rest a bit" he told his
wife. In a few moments he rose weak
ly and went into the house. He start
ed to undress. Suddenly his arms went
UP and he toppled over in a chair.
HE couldn't bid us good-by,' Mr..
Bigger said, the seizure was so sud
den. In less than a half hour he was
dead, despite our efforts to save him.
We could hardly realize that Ironquill
was gone"
Mr.. Bigger says that heat brought on
the heart attack from which he died.

DECREASE IN CAR SURPLUS.
In Four Nfonths' Time Total Reaches
1888 Cars.

A bulletin issued by the committee
of the American Railway Association
in charge of the matter shows that
the total surplus reported from Feb
ruary 16 to June 81 is 165,934, a de-
crease of 3,O72 cars since the last
bulletin. Box and coal ca- surplus
shows very little change, there being
an increase of 557 cars in the former
and decrease of SIT cars in the lat
ter. There was a decrease of 1,009
in the fiat car surplus, principally in
Central and Pacific groups and a de-
crease CT 2,043 cars in TIE miscellan-
eous surplus. The decrease in the
latter item is made up chiefly of coke
cars in the eastern and stock cars in
middle western groups.
There are decreases in the box car
surplus in the middle Atlantic which
group also reports some shortage of
this class. and in the southwestern
group, where there has been some
movement of winter wheat.
The shortages in Canadian group,
noted in the last bulletin, have in
creased, and with the increased short
age reported in the southern, bring
the total shortage up to 2,764, of
which 1857 are box cars

}. B. ALGER is DEAD.
Oldest Clown Witnessed Surrender of
Santa Anna in 1876.

Winfield, Kan, July 81. B. Ager,
known over almost the entire North
American continent as TONY Parker .
the Oldest circus clown in the world,
has just died in st. Marys hospital in
this city, at the age of 81 years.
Fifty-three years in the sawdust of
the circus ring is the record held by
this veteran of two wars, who as drum
mer boy for the First Illinois volunteers
beat the long roll for the formation of
his regiment the morning of the sur
render of Santa Anna at the City of
Mexico. September 16, 1916. For over
80 years Winfield has been his home.
His last appearance as a clown be-
fore the public was about a year ago
when he appeared at the Winfield opera
house.
