So strange and disgusting a sight
met our eyes the other morning while
walking up town, that We were led to
believe one or two peculiar conditions
must be existing IN regard to one Of
the citizens of this town. This man
was walking along the edge Of the
walk looking intently at the gutter and
casting occasional furtive glances at his
surroundings. He stopped in front OF q
grocery store, looked down, then all
around. and thinking evidently no one
was watching, hastily grabbed some
thing up and put it in his pocket and
walked on down the street and around
the next corner. Here he took out what
appeared to be portion Of a banana
minus the peeling covered with dirt
and filth. He took out his knife and
scraped the more filthy portions and
devoured the remainder with greed.
We saw the process and arrived at the
conclusion that we were being trea ted
TO the performance of humane ami
nal or man starving to death. There
is room even here possibly. for hui
name society.

Mr.. clRKE9iE's HEROES lND OTHERS.

Another bunch OF Mr.. Ca-negie's
medals for heroism and the financial
assistance which goes with them in
certain cases are TO be distributed. In
every case they are the reward Of
brave attempt TO save life and every
one is without any manner Of doubt

gases while attempting to rescue a
companion. and 80 on thru the list.
The Carnegie plan OF recognizing pc
culiar acts Of he-oism is practical and
admirable.
True heroism deserves recognition
whether it is a desperate attempt to
drag an unconscious person from a
well, rescue an imprisoned miner or in
other less spectacular and more com
mon acts OF heroisni. When we come
to think Of it the slow sacrifice OF a
lcng life for the good OF others is after
all higher heroism than that which
on the splendid impulse Of the 7nomen:
faces death in the well or on the wa

others may be better or happier. that
children may not go hungry or lack

butter retailed here at IS cents pack

butter can be bought at Iowa crearner-

trouble here is that the grocers lack
the nerve to grade butter and pay a

that half the so-called dairy butter Of
