The story goes Of Chicago man Of
wealth whose daughter developed lung
trouble and was ordered to live in a

Italy. There they bought fine marble
villa and sat down to 1--we long and
enjoy life. The women folks" like it,
but the expatriated husband and father
haunts the steamer landings and the
hotels seeking Chicago men. He wants
to know a thousand little things about
the old town and the old friends that
no newspaper can give. He wants the
touch OF American hands and the sound
of familiar voices. He has money and
lacks q very essential element of hap
piness and long life. He'll die some day
of longing and dissatisfa ction with his
environment.
Substitute Iowa for Chicago and Cal
ifornia for Italy aud the illustration fits
a large number Of cases. The women
folks usually Ike California They can
be content there in the sunshine and
among tbs MOWERS. But there are
hundreds Of 1owans pining for the old
stats and the familiar faces and the
old friends and the recur-e-t seasons
Of Iowa They want to know how the
corn looks, whether the crops are good,
how business is at the old star d. they
pine among the orange blossoms.
These fellows either dry up and endure
worry themselves to death.
When the daughters life is al stake
there's but one thing to do. we shall ali
agree as to that, but when it is merely

If California and the west coast had
not the prestige and power of the
United States behind them the Monte
negrin stunt they are pulling off would
be nightly modified. A boy with a
large family of big brothers al his
back is one of the most defiant pictures
in all nature. But if the brothers are
not within call Moses hasn't anything
on the aforesaid small boy as regards
meeknesS and willingness to temporize.
Then. in short. the idea is to reduce
the fiction feature of the Congressional
Record:
The Illinois senate white slave COM
mission was halted in its work and bull
lied by attorneys and a crowd hostile

to come when man who has ever lived
