And nestled in our orchard trees;
For every flower had name

And all the woods and crows knew
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth,

Only to learn this solemn truth:

GAMBLER EYEING
TERRELL'S TOGA
Seems To Be Strongest Man
Now Of The Faction.

Atlanta, January 19.-SenatOrial
gossip is now drifting around C. Muir
ply Gambler, a member of the state
railroad commission and for many
years a member of the general assem-
bly, from DeKalb.
Many politicians are inclined to
the belief that the Hoke Smith fac
ton will put him forward in the eff
fort to beat Senator Joseph NJ. Ter
rell. And it is generally conceded,
even by some of the friends of Sena-
tor Terrell, that Murphy Gambler is
probably the strongest candidate
that faction could put forward.
As the time draws on, it seems to
become more and more doubtful that
Hoke Smith will make the race for
the senatorship. lie has unquestion-
ablyheard the reports which come
from various sections of the state, as
have others, to the effect that this or
that member of the legislature.
while endorsing his policies, will re-
fuse to vote for him for senator, be-
cause they feel that having been
elected governor, he should serve his
term in that office and go to the SEN
ate later on. These members, at the
same time, or a number of them, say
they will vote for a Hoke Smith man
for the senate but not for Mr.. Smith.
The indications are, therefore, becom-
ing stronger every day that Mr.. Smith
will not be a candidate.
1t Is difficult to believe that the
Smith faction would support Con-
gresham w. G. Brantley, though
there have been some vague reports
to that effect; and that faction un-
doubtedly realizes that it would be
either Congressman T. w. Hardwick
or Judge w. Ia. Covington, of Moul.
trie.
The suggestion, therefore, of Rail
road Commissioner Gambler has the
earmarks of being the most likely So
luton of the problem.
Mr.. Gambler himself has nothing to
say on the. subject, though he has
quietly admitted to his friends that he
would not dodge the senatorship
should it be thrown toward him.
MIR. Gambler however, has had the
bee buzzing around him
at lively rate, and has heretofore
openly admitted that he proposed TO
be a candidate for governor in 1912
Of course if by any fortuitous cir,
or by q lucky turn of the
political roulette he should land in
the senate, that would leave the field
for governor open to a little argu-
ment.
Mr.. Gamblers long service in the
legislature has made him exception
ally strong While politician OF
pronounced Hoke Saith views, he has
nevertheless been MORE liberal both In
word and deed THANH a,,,x,,aG the other
leaders of that fad etfon in Georgia
politics.
If, on the other hand, he should
run for the senate and lose out, or III
he should be left out of consideration
In that contest, he will unquestion-
ably be found in the running when the
line comes around for the election Of
another governor.

A Good Example.

aesistsr s.i.d Leader. The iowa
land owner at Mineola who is giving
his tenants leases that run for ten
years is setting other Iowa land own
ers an example that they ought to
follow.
The short term lease is a serious
menace to any individual farm be-
cause the man who farms it does
not have interest in the preservation
of the soil or the permanent inn
provement of the buildings on it. He
is on the ground for his year or two
years to get the most he can out of
il; he does not care what may hap
pen after he is gone, so he probably
robs the soil and leaves the farm
worth less than when he came on 1T.
Such a farm can be told almost in
variably by its unprosperous appear
ance, it's rickety buildings, its lack
of cattle and hogs, its meager imple-
ment equipment and general unHidi-
ness.
The short term farm lease is a
menace to the future agricultural
prosperity of Iowa because so many
farms are leased for short terms on
ly. Statistics show that many more
than a third of the farms of the
state are occupied by tenants. Sta
tistics show further that majority
of these are rented only for year
or two at time, and not for long
periods. The result is that a vast
proportion of Iowas rich lands are
not being cultivated with view to
preserving their fertility, but with a
view of getting everything possible
out of them without putting any,
thing back into them.
1t will not take very many more
years of short term leasing to ruin a
large area of valuable Iowa land
The landlords of the state ought tc
be forsighted enough to see that they
are hurting their own interests by
limiting leases to only year or two
Long leases will prove profitable tc
the tenant, to the land and to the
owner. Short leases keep them al
poor.

NEW MINIATURES TIME CARD.
Changes of Advantage to Decorah
Are Made and New Tain
Added.

With the new time card en- the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road which went into effect on Mon
day. are included some of the
changes asked by the Decorah Com
mercial Club. Still other changes
in service are now under negotia-
tion and it is expected that within
short time we will be able 10 an
nounce even better train service than
we are now having, which is the best
in years.
The putting On the the two new
transcontinental trains, the Colum-
bian and Olympian, said to be the
finest in the world, brings about
slight change of schedule in Shis
section. The train from Chicago
arrives in Calmar at 1:f5 a. M, so
that parties going west or north may
leave here at 11:45 p. M, and catch
the train at Calmar. Trains Nos.
and on the main line are also
made every day in the week, going
west early Sunday as well as ether
mornings and returning at night
Deccrah now has the following
schedule: The first train arrives at
Sis a. m. The new train, which
is put on as stock train, and may
not run regularly at present, leaves
here at S:45, and returns at 9:45.
The next train leaves at 10000
o'clock (formerly 9:40) and the
noon train arrives at 1875, depart
ing again at l1:45 as heretofore.
The afternoon train arrives at $3.50
p. m, but departs at $3.50 p. m. in
stead of S:45 as heretofore, giving
people here 45 minutes longer in
the city, and reduces the wait at
Calmar by that much. The mid
night train arrives at 11:35 and
departs at 11:45. While these
changes are a decided improvement,
yet there are other changes that we
are entitled to, and we believe we
will get.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
Henry Wesselman and Family of
Caimar StruCk by Train Near
Fort Atkinson.
BOY AND GIRL ARE NOW DEAD.
Father and Mother Also in Precar-
ious Condition With But
Little Chance of
Recovery.

A TERRIBLE fatal accident happened
near FIT. Atkinson at three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, which nearly
wiped out the entire family of Henry
Wesselman, the we'll known Calmar
butcher.
During the afternoon, it being
Memorial Day, Mr.. Wesselman with
his wife and five children started out
fer a drive to Fort Atkinson, four
miles distant. They had team and
carriage with which they often en-
joyed these drives, and little did
they think when they started out
that the entire family would not re-
turn home safely, after pleasant
afternoons outing.
Going down the long hill mile
northeast of Fort Atkinson the team
became unmanageable. The C. Nj.
& ST. p track runs at right angles
to this hill in the valley below, the
road turning sharply to the left and
running parallel to the track for
some distance. Instead Of making
the turn the team kept straight
ahead, and just as they came to the
track they were struck with terrific
force by train No. 21, the passenger
train running south from Calmar to
Marion.
For a time it was thought that
the entire family had been killed.
Mr. Wesselman was severely injur-
ed, and has been unconscious much
of the time since. He seemed to
have been struck on the ear or the
side of the head. 1t is thought this
morning that he stands a good show
of recovery. Mrs. Wesselman is in
a very serious condition. with her
skull crushed, and may die at any
moment. A little boy, eight years
old, cripple, who has been COM
ing to Decorah for treatment, was
killed outright. A daughter thirteen
years of age, her skull crushed, died
during the night. The three other
children were badly shaken up and
bruised, but not seriously. 1t is
thought this morning that the
chances of recovery of Mrs. VESSEL
man are very slight, but that Mr..
Wesselman will probably survive the
accident.
Drs. Horton of Fort Atkinson,
Reum and Heflin of Calmar at once
went to the relief of the injured,
and last evening Dr. P. Nj. Jewell
was sent for, taking over trained
nurse, Miss Sleetager, with him.
They were taken over in an auto by
j. c. Johnson, making the trip in
80 minutes. Operations were per-
formed upon Mrs. Wesselman and
the girl who died later in the night,
in the hope that they might be saw
ed.
This is one of the saddest acci-
dents that have ever happened in
this county, and it has brought sor-
row anG sympathy to the hearts of
everyone.

THE SIMPLE LIFE OF A COMMONfR
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Editors Note--The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. Fl. H. Green,
d. D., to write an autobiogra-
ply of his life. to be preserved
as matter of record among
his children and grandchildren.
While it was written with no
intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filled with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, boy
hood, soldier, clergyman, legis-
lator, etc, that we find much
which we believe will be read
with interest by the public, anS 4
we will therefore from time to-
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
should it prove of sufficient in
terest to continue.)
