THE MARKET VALUE OF AFFECTION.

Law suits demanding large sums as
payment for the "alienated affections"
Of a husband or a wife are almost as
common as line fence disputes in Iowa.
If milliner in Cass county becomes

whose love and affection would be dear
at nothing, the wife sues for the price
Of a decent man. If some woman that

these suits are brought in revenge or
avarice or both. The fact is that in
most instances the injured party has
been benefited. But that is no reason
why the others should be permitted to
get away with 1t. The deserted wife
OF an alienated husband should be
granted most Of such property as they

A veteran Of the civil war who has

KATzENJAATMER KIDS AND OIL.
Z


Not only do the Majority of the peo-
pie fail to appreciate or enjoy the
comic pictures in the Sunday papers
any more said w. T. Brown, but I
think they have q harmful. and in at
least one case. a dangerous influence.
I have been buying them every Sunday
for NY little girl. One Sunday few
weeks ago. my wife heard an awful
commotion in the kitchen and going
out. found Elizabeth was running the
cats tail thru the ringer as she had
seen one of the kids in the Sunday pa
pers doing. But last sunday she pulled
off the worst stunt and the one that
caused me to put the quetus on the
funny paper question. We had COM
pany in the front Of the house. and as
things were 100 quiet to seem natural in
the kitchen where Elizabeth was play
ing. I went out to investigate. The
girl had got the coal oil can and all
around the room as high as she could
reach. she had saturated the woodwork
with kerosene. It lay in pools all over
the floor and her dress was soaked in
il. She was just climbing up on the
chair to the match box and in another
minute would have lit one and been
blown into kingdom come. When took
her out into the woodshed for the private
session she explained that she had
been looking at the pictures of the
'Katzenj ammer' kids where they soak
ed the cabin OF the ship in coal oil and
then burned up the ship. She'll never
get her eyes on another 'katzenjam
ner' kid if can help it. Last Sunday
I told her they were all drowned in the
ocean and she cried for an hour over
them"

He Got Even.

An intoxicated man boarded train.
When the conductor, who weighed
nearly 300 pounds, called for his ticket
he was too drowsy to hunt for it, The
stout conductor became impatient and
after attending to the rest Of the pas
sengers' tickets returned to the intoY-
icated man, and with much authority
demanded:
Now, you'll have to do one or three
things-show your ticket, pay your
fare, or get Off"
BY this time the man was able to
find his ticket and was more disposed
to talk, so. as the stout conductor was
leaving him he called after him:
Say, see here. you'll have to do one
Of three things. too
What are those?" asked the
amused conductor.

the reply, which started a laugh all

That there Will be a battle royal be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt forces in
the republican national convention is
now evident. Roosevclts candidacy is
no longer in doubt. and it has stirred
the Taft men to a degree Of bitterness
unequalled by their feeling toward the
candidacy Of any other progressive.
Some LaFollette men feel too, that
men who had committed themselves to
his candidacy have been too hasty in
going over to Roosevelt upon the an
nouncement of LaFollette's Illness.
This has added a new complication to
the situation that will doubtless make
itself felt to the extent of preventing
some LaFolIette men from voting for
Roosevelt.
The only presidential aspirant wh5
is free from all the acrirn ony of the
present strife in the republican party
Is Senator Cummins. Of Iowa. He has
kept himself aloof from personal ami
,nosities, has asked for the support Of
no state but his own, and stands in a
better position. so far as chances OF
success in the election are concerned.
than any other candidate.
Senator Cummins' views are we'll
known. He has won VIDE naIcHAi
reputation by his fearless and able ad-
vocacy Of them. But save for few
rlalignants in Iowa he has not created
personal ennlities. With him the issue
has always been supreme. He has
never given himself over to personal
feuds with and hatreds Of men who
disagreed with him. That is why he
could unite the party. 1t is why re-
publicans who disagree with his adj
vanced progressive views would vote
for him cheerfully, rather than see

such trees would not grow in Iowa. and
before he could sell his little trees he
had to guarantee them to live for five
years. In less than twenty years after
he had plowed the first furrow. THE
Evergreen Farm" was one OF the
beauty spots in Iowa. The people saw
what one man had done. They bought
trees and planted them at their farm
homes. They raised groves and wind
breaks, and for years the pines, cedars,
balsam frs and arbor vitaes have been
shedding their grateful and healing
fragrance to the breezes. And today the
prairies Of Fredericksburg are dotted
with beautiful homes, and the whole
township has been transformed into
one of the most productive beauty
spots of Iowa. Our friend. Buel Sher-
man, went to heaven some time ago,
before he had seen that he had build
ed better than he realized or planned.
He knew he was building a pretty
home for himself. but he did more. His
courage and example We're catching.
He helped to beautify his township,
and he added to the wealth of his state.
A few years ago a Waverly boy con-
cluded that he would raise as good or
better chickens than anybody else, and
he worked on that line. When he asked
from So to IS for his cockerels some
thought he asked TOO mucii But they
saw his flock; they admired his birds
and they bought birds and eggs. Then
they bought still more. He has sold
pullets at SO apiece Within the past
eighteen months he sold four hens and
one rooster for $500. Some one will
say. "Oh, that's just a chicken crank"
Yes. and today the poultry and eggs of

There is a little eighty acre farm
few miles from Wayerly that used to
look like a forsaken orphan. Two years
ago that eighty was bought by an in
industrious young farmer with courage
and good Judgment. Last season he
built a silo. a cement chicken house.

tanks and walks: and he raises good
stock TO match the Improvements: and
he makes two ears OF corn to grow
