TOM TAKES THE CREDIT.

From over the wires from Hart
ford City where the Indiana NUM-
cipal league is holding a session
comes the news that hizzoner, Hon.
Tom Knots, mayor of Gary, held the
convention spell-bound with his
famous lecture. Building A City"
Building A City, has been hand
ed out by the valiant Tom at ban
quets and it has fallen up the ears
of those who dine at the governors
table. and 1t has been received in
open-mouthed wonder by diners at a
contractors banquet; it has delight
ed innumerable gatherings of for
eigners; it has been told partly to
rear of a blind pig bar room: it has
ben delivered at many conventions, it
has made the great steel company

least If you did not know any bet

HANLY.S OPPORTUNITY
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Ever hear about Bill Hanly?
Bill Hanly has farm of 100000
acres in the interior of Oregon.
1t is made up Of mountains and val
legs. rivers and meadows and marsh
lands and dry spots and rolling lands.
Last year Bill Hanly cut 215.O00 tons
of hay of his big place. and he has cat
tie on thousand hills.
He and his cowboys drive his herds
Of fat cattle to the railroad. and it re-
quires fifteen days to make the trip.
When Bill Hanly rode into the cat
tie country years ago his property con-
sisted of one horse. one lariat, one
Mexican saddle, one cowboy hat and
the clothes on his back Now he
doesn't know how much he is worth.
But his friends say he is the same
Bill Hanly today as then
Do you envy him?
And begrudge him his great prosper
ity?
Not If you know how he got his
lands and cattle. He got them by dep
rivation and short dinners. by the iso-
lation Of weary years and by patient
waiting. He began with a herd of five
cows and worked and bided the time
of increase.
/ Besides
| He got his possessions by clean Hv-
| ing and temperate habits. While the
other cowboys made their semiannual
| trip to the railroad, 'shot up the town"
for diversion and spent their money in
riotous living. Bill stayed by his cattle
and saved his money.
| Lisueni
| He used to lie on his back and count
the stars and say to himself he would
some day have as many cattle as tho
stars in heaven.
| Bits blue eyes saw Opportunity and
he promptly grasped it by the forcIock
| And you?
! Do you say there is no chance?
| Perhaps not Bill Hanly's chance, al
though there are yet thousands oil
| acres Of grass lands in the northwest
ern states. away from railroads, tha
may be cheaply purchased. But
| Are you willing to do as Bill Hanly
did?
Are you willing to keep Glenn ant
hold tight? Are you willing to labo
and to wait?

Our little gods of common clay,
Our little gods of greed and lust.
And store them In some niche away,
And kneeI before them in the dust.
Our little gods I'm whom trust.
But when in quiet hours apart
The evening light steals DER our heart
Our little gods of whom we call,
Our cherished idols of the mart,
Down from their niche within the
Like shalds In fragments round us

Yet, ere the miracle OF light

Our hands their labors have begun
To set each broken piece Alright,
And build them over every one

Didn't Get Married Here.

Last Friday a decidedly youthfuf
looking couple giving their names as
Glen Womack and Inez Reece, of
Marceline, Mo-, accompanied by Floyd
Smith, of Humeston, came to Leon
with the intention of getting married
here. They made no secret of the
fact that they had run away to get
married and had endeavored to Sc
cure a license at Centerville, but the
clerk turned them down, although
the would-be groom had letter
purporting to be from his father,
giving his consent. When they ap-
peared before Clerk j. L. Menden-
hall in this city he refused to issue
them a license, unless they produced
the necessary evidence that they
were entitled to one, and this they
could not do, so they departed on
the afternoon train saying they
would find some place where they
could get married.

Stella Beatrice Burrell.

Stella Beatrice Burrell, only child
| Of Ace and Della Burrell, was born
in Sedalia, Mo-, August IL, 1897,
died at the home of her aunt, Mrs.
VIM. West, in st. Joe, Mo-, April Is,
1912, at tho age of IA years, Z
months and 18 days. s. ~
The deceased was brought to Da-
Wis :. City when she was but three
months old, her mother dying when
she was seven months old. Being
tnotherless, she was at once adopted
by her aunt, Mrs. VIM. West, who has
proven a true mother to the little
one, and she has ever since made
to mourn the loss Of one she sin
cerely loved as her own child.
Stella was bright and interesting
little girl, very quiet and studious
in her habits. Her one life ambition
was to learn to teach school, not so
much for her own benefit but that
she might be help to those who
had cared for her in her helpless
childhood, and she would frequently
say to her adopted mother, "Never
mind, mama, when l am through
school can care for you when you
are DID," and at the time of her
death she was working nights and
mornings and Saturdays in a candy
store, and yet keeping up in her
classes at school, and was making
| fine progress in her studies. She
was loved by both her teachers and
schoolmates. 1t being the Easter
vacation she was intending to work
all week, and went to her work on
Wednesday morning as usual, but
came home sick about II o'clock and
was dangerously i'll from the first.
She died the following Friday.
She will be greatly missed and sim
cerely mourned in the home of her
adoption, as we'll as by all who loved
her as child and sister. But
friends, let this comfort you. I'm
my fathers house there are many
mansions, and loving Savior says
come unto me-" So We may know
that she was kind and cheerful here
and that kindness awaited her in her
heavenly home. And now she is safe
from the storms of life in the arms
of loving Savior.
She is survived by her father, two
half sisters and three half-brothers,
and a large circle of relatives who
all loved her and mourn her early
departure. She was a member in
good standing of the M. r. A lodge,
who had charge of the remains,
which were shipped to Davis City for
interment. Funeral services were
held at the NJ. E. church conducted
by Elder Reed, and large concourse
followed the little body to it's last
resting place in the Davis City ceme-
terry.

Lynchings in Iowa.

The south is generally looked upon
as the home of lynch law, and yet
careful study reveals the fact that
even in such conservative state as
Iowa there has been a surprisingly
large number of lynchings. In the
April number of ''The Iowa Journal
of History and Politics" published
by the State Historical Society Of
Iowa, there is an article by Mr.. Paul
w. Black on 'Lynchings in Iowa."
According TO Mr.. Black there have
been over one hundred and sixty
lynchings involving as many as two
hundred and twenty victims in Iowa
since 1884. The article contains an
historical analysis dealing with the
causes, kinds, and results of lynch
ings, together with a chronological
description of the various cases of
the application of lynch law. Horse
stealing and murder are found to
have been the most frequent direct
causes of lynchings, while hanging
and whipping have been the methods
OF punishment most often employed
by the mobs.
