bloody service. In the combined at

hanged with the navy. The ensign of

To-day she is hanging over the bed
side. Here's the mother waiting with
bated breath to hear what you say
about her boy. She ought in Justice to
have her boy. She said: Bring me back
my boy; bring him back in strength
and young manhood: restore him to me
If you can. Bring him back in his con-
dition that he was in on the LIST day
Of January. 1910. Bring him back 70
me; oh, bring him back to me. Take
back your gold; take back your mon
ey; give me my boy whole" On OBJ
lection to this argument, 1t appeared
that plaintiffs mother was dead,

said: Dead! Is she dead? I didn't

LARRABEES GRASS SHOPPERS.
Representative Hutchins In Algona


Representative Hutchins In Algona
Republican,
In 1877 Governor Larrabee wrote TO
Mr.. Slough. whom all the old settlers
will remember, asking him to get
somebody to catch barrel Of hoppers
and send him as he wished to have
them rendered and see II any use
whatever could be made Of them. Mr..
Slough asked me If could catch them
for him and told him I would try.
Along about shutdown the hoppsrs
would climb up the grain stalks and
roost as near the head as 1t was posi-
BILE for them to get. took four sticks,
mailing them together. making frame
about eight feet long by two feet high.
to which l nailed cotton cloth, making
a large sack with the frame for the
opening. hitched q hores to each end
Of the frame, and my man rode one
horse and the other and we trotted
them thru the standing grain. The mo
ton caused the stalks Of grain to bend
backward. throwing the hoppers into
the sack and in q very short time WE
had a barrel Of hoppers. We had to
make several hauls for the barrel full
but I do not think It took over min.
ute to catch half busfel Of them. Mr.
| Larrabee found on trial that no pfac'
tical use could be made OF the grass
hopper. a-.
Those roppers were distinctly a dif,
ferent breed from those we have here
and do not think we need to have an,
fear that they will ever trouble vi
| again.

loui.vilIe,s Social Center Schools.


Much that has been said and written
with regard to the utilization Of school
houses out OF school hours as neighbor-
hood social centers has been along
theoretical lines. There has been an
undercurrent Of prejudice against the
idea, and the campaign in its favor has,
therefore, been mainly educational.
True. many communities have adopted
the idea, but with few exceptions these
have taken it up rather in a tentative
and apologize way. Most of them
would hesitate to declare themselves
entirely in its favor even now. But If
they were all impressed with its feast
bility and desirability, and II all OF
them were counted together they would
constitute only a small fraction of the
whole The truth is, the idea is more
talked about than practiced.
II is refreshing and encouraging.
therefore, to friends of the movement
to find that Louisville, KY, which put
the idea into practice about two months
ago, is pleased almost to the point of
being enthusiastic with the result.
Louisville went into the scheme in a
tentative way also. Two schools, the
Broadway. a new building, and the

sTUBBoRNEss OR COURAGE.

When the president announces that

20 than judgment. 1t Is in the minds
most republicans and brilliantly
reclaimed by all democrats that Taft

resident Of course has the same right
rat any other eligible person is guar

IN for president If he will. He can

1t death to stop him, but he must
low what is conceded from one coast

a. regular forces, horse. foot and
agoons, and the guerilla delegates Of
e black belt to enforce the demand
widens instead Of closing the brea oh
tween himself and the voters. There
e many good and cogent reasons this
lie of death which exist or may de-
lop to make his retirement wise,

President Taft is not hated On the

reelection because he has bitterly
