The Partisan blouse f:ill has a rival

of each is practically the sane, except
that the fr;ll is softer and more fcmi-

its horde of chained slaves, the sea

of galloping horses, com bined with

it is being enacted.
AS now arranged and staged by
KlaW & Erlanger, sees a great spec

the strength of its dramatic values,
but as a colossal and picturesque
pageant. And in the chariot race,
the scene which, coupled with the
popularity Of General Wallace's book
gave the play its enormous vogue,

beast, which had been hitched to
the hind wheels of a heavy wagon,
had either became exhausted Or
baked, and was beaten to death by

the neighhbOrhood Of Logan Chapel
in Decatur county. Several humane
farmers living near where the pony
was found pulled it out Of the mud

injured beyond recovery. The case
was reported to G.. d. Lovett, town.

"A Slight Correction.

The marking of the Mormon trail
across the State of Iowa is on the
program as one of the activities OF
the State Historical society for the
coming Year. The detail work is
being taken up by the ID. a, r. in
conjunction with the state historical
department. This trail is one made
by the Mormons when they left Maui
YOU, Illinois, near Keokuk, to find
themselves a home in the unknown
west. This trail is still a we'll de-
fined one in places. 1t enters Wayne
county, in Wright township and
bears southwest until it approaches
CorydOn. 1t crosses the Charlton
creek near the Joe Zimmerman place.
In many places it is still easily seen.
The trail passes to the north OF Cory
don and goes directly west to Gar
den Grove where a number OF the
Mormons stopped off and founded
the towns Of Garden Grove and "a
moni 1t is thought that the route
will soon be marked with iron or
stone DOsts.-CorytlOn Democrat.
To keep history straight We wish
to correct the above article which
in the main is correct, but is in err
TOR in the statement that the trail
passes from north OF CorydOn d.
rectly to Garden Grove. The trail
passes north Of Garden Grove about
eight miles through the Smyrna
district northeast of Weldon and is
still used as a main travelled road
for several miles. The way they
happened TO locate at Garden Grove
was, when they arrived at point
near Smyrna they realized that OW-
ing to the famished condition of part
of the animals and much sickness in
the company that the greater part
of them would not live through the
terrible journey before them so it
was decided to send out party to
find a place for settlement where
those unable to go on could rest up.
The party followed the creek south
to a point just west Of Garden Grove
and finding an ideal grove extending
east from the creek decided to stop
and went back after the balance OF
the party to remain and the others
went on. AS to Lamont this party
had nothing to do with the town Of
Lamont, which was laid out in 1879
when the railroad was built. The

We hear a great deal about the pic

raj villages, but you will observe that
all the descriptions given of their at
Effectiveness are confined to the eXter-
ior No one could admire the inter
ior of cottage 800 years old, whose
roof leaked, whose walls were damp
and crumbling and where no fire
places are provided to radiate comfort
in the damp, cool weather so prevail
ent in England. Because of the lack
of comforts and sanitary conveniences
in these medieval villages the infant
mortality is something fearful. The
English look down on the Irish, but
the Irish are not so bound by tradi
ton and are getting things done in q
way that the English fail to do. The
lack of comfortable sanitary dwellings
is undoubtedly responsible for much
of the degeneration and dissipation OF
which we hear so much among the
English peasantry. 1t is a hopeless
task to try to be men when for gen
erations your ancestors have lived like
beasts.

There is no field in which reform is
more seriously needed than in that of
education. There is now a general
recognition that in this line there is
tremendous waste of time and eff
fort The greatest misfortune is that
there is so much required that is use
less to those who obtain it and that
there is a continual forcing process
along wrong lines and against the cur
rent of thought and action as they
have to be met in a practical, busy
world of affairs. 1t is not true that
everyone must be a specialist and that
every speciality is so important that
it must be in the course of study 1t
is a grave mistake to instil the idea
into the minds of the youth that in
order to succeed each one must of
necessity apply himself to one profes.
sion, or one business, or one trade
for life time. AS a very sensible

executive wherever placed; so is an
organizer capable of martialing forces
of many kinds, A man does not lose

however, that our own southern wa.

where the alligator fourishes. In
Ecuador an alligator hide may be pur
chased for thirteen cents and could
be laid down in New York or Boston
for so cents, which would enable man
