Martyrdom of Fools was his subject
1T is said there is a fool born
every minute and some Of them live.
we do not owe anything to the man
who says he never made fool OF
himself. Very erroneous. that's prob
ably what he has been doing with his
success. The fool is really great
moral and ethical teacher. We see
where he made his mistake, so some
times we owe them debt OF graft
tude. They are the martyrs of human
ity A man is hung for crime; he
has no friends. A medical college gets
his body and class of students cuts
his body, and science learns some
thing from this martyred fool.
From the conceit of ignorance we
learn nothing. There are lots of peo-
pie like the historical tyrant who had
his own ideas as to mans height. They
build their little iron beds and stretch
their victims of bigotry thereon
There are numberless ways of
making fools of ourselves To be a
big fool we don't have to work at it
very much. One way to make fools
of ourselves is never to make fools of
ourselves. A paradox but true never
theless. If We try to please every
body and make hit With everybody,
these people always put a spike in the
wheels of progress. You find them in
the election day voting the straight
ticket because their ancestors did,
and if you trace their ancestors back
you'll find them long tailed apes who
didn't know the Declaration of indie
pendence from a marriage license
Those men who are so narrow be-
tween the eyes who'll not fight for the
right and the square deal is hypo-
critic and coward. We want a man
who has personality of his own.
The man We want is the man who has
the personality to quit his party when
1t gets so rotten buzzards would shun
it.
THE hereto of To-Day becomes the
leader of faith of tomorrow. The
heresy of the past becomes the faith
of today. Christianity owes much to
her martyrs. Realizing their mis-.
take in the past they rectify it in
marble They martyred men and
women in the name of the church,
yet today the heresy for which these
people were martyred is our faith.

enth season of the Hamilton 'chau-
tauqua opened Friday afternoon with
the most favorable prospects for an
entertaining and prosperous season.

some of the best platform lecturers
and entertainers in the chautauQua
circuits of today And the musical
and entertainment numbers are among
the best that money can buy. The
directors and managers of the Hamil-
ton chautauqua do not have the slight
est hesitancy about putting this pro-
gam before the public as the best of
their seven seasons. Especial atten-
ton may be called to the musical pro-
grams. the excellence of which will

and the lecture platform will present
some of the best offerings from the
best chautauquas in the country. The
evenings are provided with entertain
ment that will appeal to all who love
to spend twilight hour in the open
wood listening to song or story
The Grounds Are Ideal.
The chautauqua is held in
Gordon's grove, an ideal spot for the
sessions. 1t is so ideally sylvan as to
beguile one into the impression that
| he is far away in the heart of some
deep forest far removed from the
! hustle and noise of community life.
And with all this beauty is anotn r
feature which will appeal to the
chautauqua patron, the ease of access,
street car line. This is a feature to
appeal to Keokuk patrons who attend
And there is a place to stable the
horses for those who wish to drive.
| The grove is ideal as location for
this popular .orm of entertainment.

the big audience tent is pitched Ma

comfortable benches are provided to

The tent Is surrounded by large
trees, giving an abundance of shade

great white oaks and hickory trees
form natural canopy to the
grounds. Rustic bridges traverse the

there are strings of lights throughout

DIES MONIES is TO BUILD
A $4,000 MARKET PLACE

Des Moines, Dec. 13.-Des Moines
will have a municipal market build
ing costing $4,000. At a meeting
of the council Monday the COM
missioners adopted a resolution in
troduced by Mayor James R. Hanna
calling for the appointment Of an
architect to draw plans for build
ing to cost that amount. Mayor
Hanna intended to take up the mat
ter of appointing an architect, but he
had to leave the council meeting for
a short time and when he returned
the meeting was adjourned. The
mayor proposes to have the new
building two stories in height,
which is contrary to the usual Gus
tom in the construction of market
houses. 1t is planned to have the
construction of the building under
way by April 1. The mayors reso-
luton also calls for the installation
in the proposed building of public
comfort stations, accessible from the
street at all hours. There Is a diff
ference of opinion among the mem
bers Of the council as to how much
money will be available for such purs
pose next spring, but it is said the
erection of a market building is IL
line with the plans outlined at the
time of the establishment of the mar
ket place last summer

PENSION MEASURE

Washington, d. c., Dec. 13.-The
democratic house of representatives
last night passed the Sherwood ser
vice pension bill by a vote of 22s
to 80. Secretary of the Interior
Fisher has estimated that the bill
ultimately will involve s75,00o,0o0
annual expenditure. But for the
support of republicans the measure,
which proposes to grant pensions
ranging from SIS to $50 a month to
all veterans of the civil and Mexican
wars who served over 80 days,
would have been defeated. More re-
publicans than democrats voted in
the Affirmative. The Illinois and In
diana delegations were solid for the
bill, except for the detection of Rep
resentative Lynden Evans Of Chica-
go, who answered mo" Represen-
