The time allotted us, if it were well employed. were abundant enough to answer all the ends and purposes of mankind. but we squander it away in avarice, drink, sleep, luxury. ambition, fawning ad- dresses, envy, rambling voyages. impertinent studies. change of coun- sels and the like. and when our portion IS spent we find the want of it, though we give no heed to it in the passage, insomuch that we have rather made our life short than found it so.

It certainly is not safe place for any ones wife or daughter to be in since we have had the terrible saloon and as citizens of the town are we going to let a few big feeling men run our young men with the license question. It is the duty of every loyal citizen on election day to walk to the polls and cast No-license ballot. Some men claim that license brings money into the town. Yes, but does it cure a mothers, widows and sisters broken heart or does one saloon license pay what it costs the state for trial? Think of these things, voters, before you vote this fail and jet us have a clean, safe town, where our wives. mothers, sisters and children can go and not be insultei.

They were sittin' in the moonlight,
Where the moon had slowly risen.
She held his husky hand in her'n,
And he held hers in his'n,
Many love words passed between
them,
She was deeply wrapped in
thought;
They were seated on a fence rail,
And that's where his trousers
caught.
In embarrassment, he jumped right
up,
And slowly backed away;
They used to be his Sunday pants,
Now, they're his every day.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. s.
Apex mine, where Rafael Lopez, Mex
lean murderer of six, has been hid
ing, was sealed yesterday afternoon
and black powder burned at the en-
trance, creating carbonic acid gas,
which will quickly penetrate every
corner of the mine and kill every
living thing.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
deadly gas has been pouring into his
hiding place for many hours, some
expert miners offered to bet 10 to 1
that he is still alive. Others offered
even money that he is not even in
the mine, believing he escaped from
one of the long-abandoned exits.

Prayers, Preaching Or Works?

Are the protestant people Of this
city to be content with their prayer
meetings and preaching and magniti-
cent church buildings while the Cath
olics are left to do the christian work
of service in their hospital, or will the
protestant people join the German
Evanselicals in the building of mag
nitioent hospital and deaconess' home
in this city?
That is not the exact language used
by Rev. Mr.. Rest in his explanation
OF his project to volunteer committee
from the various protestant churches
at a meeting held in the public library
Thursday evening. but that is the sum
and substance of the situation.
The various societies of the German
church located in central Iowa have
been sending regular annual collec-
tions for the support of hospitals and
deaconess' homes in st. Louis. Chi

WILL NOT EXHIBIT AT STATE.
Public Schools Will Not Furnish Dis
pay of Work at Des Moines.

Superintendent Palmer, Of the pub
lie schools. has decided not TO enter on
behalf Of the schools an exhibit OF the
school work done by pupils at the state
fair next summer.
The schools have furnished an ex-
hibit for several years. and have Won
practically all the prizes in their class.
Because OF the winnings in past years
the superintendent believes that there
IS nothing particularly TO be gained by
going 10 the trouble and expense Of
making the state exhibit. Instead the
energies OF the teachers and pupils are
TO be conferred on the exhibits for the
county fair. This will be made big
ger and better than ever this year.
An exhibit of the work done in the
schools is to be made at the manual
training building June IS In this city
exhibit, however, not nearly all the
work to be placed on display at the
county fair will be shown.

the place of an income from hand
some endowment.
Rev Mr.. Rest wants his hospital
to be broad in its service and to be fol-
all the people. For that reason. ano
because of the fact that no single
protestant denomination could main
tain a hospital in Marshalltown alone
he wants all of the protestant churches
to get behind the new hospital here. Al
Faribault the Catholics have Joined in
supporting the German Evangelical
hospital as we'll, but the Catholics in
Marshalltown already have their own
hospital, so they could not be expected
to divert their support from their own
institution. The other protestant
churches, however. are doing nothlns
but holding Sunday services and build
ing fine church buildings. 1t is time
they were giving some energy to the
works Of christian social service.
The result of the meeting was to
send a special committee, composed
of NJ. W. Hovey, Willard Hull and p
F. Arney to request Of the protestant
pastors that they lay the hospital pro-
iect before their people Sunday. ana
thst the congregations select commit
tees to meet in joint session at the
public library Monday evening for the
purpose CT organizing a temporary
hospital association.
Rev. Mir. Rest goes to his district
conference at keokuk next Friday, and
he wants to be able to report that he
has all of the protestant people of this
city back of him in the hospital move

Olive Tablets are mild but effective.
Safe and sure. Pleasant to take but
