Tabor. May 22.-An advanced posi-
ton on the much debated amusement
question was taken by E. 9. Wolcott.
secretary of the Sioux City Y. NJ. c. A.
in an address before the Iowa state
Conversational Association, in session
here.
The church must take hold OF the
amusements of modern social life ana
bend them to suit the requirements OF
christian living. asserted Mr.. Wolcott'
Poo, and billiards. the dance. the the

homes are proper when conducted IN
the proper way, in the proper hands,
viii, proper associa tons and not over
done, he said.
The church took hold of literature
and music and elevated it TO Its own
uurposes. and it has done much the
same thing with art: il must now turn
jrs attention % tne lheateT. the picture

room. said the speaker.
Mr.. Wolcott asserted that there is
no good reason why 80 per cent of the
games should he forbidden in christian
homes, and that the influence OF lhe
church could be brought to bear to
make them wholesome.
Parents. too. must learn TO paruci
pate with their children IN theit
auusements. he said, and not depenc

IF THREATS ARE BACKED BY &C.
TON, UNDERWOOD BILL WILL
BE COSTLY TO PARTY.
RADICAL SPOTS OF MEASURE
BEING VIGOROUSLY ATTACKED
Protests Received From Many States
and Democrats in Localities Affected
by Free Schedules in State of In
surreetion - Administration Getting
Into Hot Water.
LSpecial respondent

Washington. May EFF all the dem
ocrats who are threatening to revolt
because OF tariff reductions actually
carry out their threats. the pending
tariff measure is going to prove ex-
pensive politically to the democratic
party.
Many of the most bitter protests
Which are coming in TO Washington
ard going to the senate against the
Underwood bill emanaIe from demo-
cratic sources Some OF the protests
are accompanied by thinly Velied
threats of desertion of the democratic
| party. True. experienced politicians
take these threats with d grain OF
salt. Nevertheless they are a most
interesting phase of the present asi-
tation over tariff revision.
Radical in Spots.
Doubtless one reason for the We
hemance of some OF the democratic
protests is that the Underwood Dill Is
more radical in spots than was gen
orally anticipated last campaign. Many
refused TO believe free wool. free SUI
gar free meats and the like would
actually be written into the law.
Some of the sources whence demo-
era tic protests are yelling up most Fio-
leutlv are Florida. Louisiana. Mich
iCan Ohio. New England and the
Rocky mountain region. Powerful
elements in the democratic party IN
Florida are in revolt because or the
reductions in duties on citrus fruits.
Most of the Louisiana democracy is IN
state of instruction over free sugar.
Prominent democratic leaders in Mich
iean are loudly protesting against the
free sugar policy and have sent a
memorial TO the president and leaders
in congress. demanding that the plat
form pledges be kept. They insist
free sugar will ruin the beet sugar
industry Of Michigan State Chairman
f. G. Shields. Secretary Harris T.
Thomas of the democratic state central
committee and other prominent demo-
Gratis have joined in the memorial.
They say this administration should
be warned by "the error OF the last
administration in attempting to PROVIDE
for free trade In schedules wherein the
farmer received. or believes he re-
ceived a benefit from the tariff"
Protests From Many Quarters.
Democrats in Ohio are loudly pro-
testing against free wool. Some of
the Ohio democratic members OF the
house have beer the loudest protest
ants against free wool. New England
democrats. more especially those OF
Massachusetts. are demanding the ap-
riication of the principle of recipro-
city.
These are some OF the more striking
instances in which the democrats are
getting into hot water with members OF
their own party on account of tariff re-
vision. Plenty of Other cases exist. In
fact. there is not democratic senator
who does not find himself in an en-
barrassing situation on account of the
prospective lowering Of duties on some
article or articles that concern mis-
state To what extent the democratic
objections to tariff reductions Will ma

dumped too many horses on the market
and gave buyers here an opportunity 10
dictate prices. Receipts were nearly
as heavy as the first of March, when
trade was exceptionally good. but the
buying force was about half as strong
AT that there was pretty good outlet
for good shaped big horses, well mace
expressers and full made wagon horses,
and these classes brought fair prices.
but the medium end common stun was

There are enough 1,200-pound chunks
and medium driving horses left unsoid
to supply the market for some time
unless demand picks up materially.
There is absolutely no demand for this

find good horses weighing 1850 and up

Although Never Dormant, It Has
Been Proved They Have Special
Hours Of Activity.

A celebrated scientist has made the
Interesting announcement that there
are more microbes in the air at nine
o'clock in the morning and at nine
o'clock at night than during any 9TH
er periods of the day. He has also
discovered that the percentage of mi
crobes in the atmosphere is less at
three o'clock in the morning and three
o'clock in the afternoon than at any
other times. The explanation ad-
vanced for the partiality of the MI
crobe for nine O'Clock n. m. and p. m.
is that the "microbe hour" is con-
trolled by the movements of people.
From five to nine in the morning they
are going from their homes to their
working places. and from five to nine
in the evening they are again jour
neying through the Streets either
homeward bound or in search Of
pleasure.

Unconsciously, Agatha's generous

that would never break. He would
always be different to her. by reason
of that night and what she chose to
term his splendid heroism. She had
seen him in his hour OF strength. that
hour when the overman makes half

of youth, plus the endurance Of the
