She was the jewel of Islam,
Always her masters delight;
She was the favorite beauty,
Always the .one shining light:
She ruled the caliph's seraglio-
Eunuchs and slaves at her call
She was the queen of the harem,
She was the queen OF them all.
She was an Ottoman princess,
Black-eyed and hair raven-black,
Tracing her Mussulman lineage
Through the long centuries back:
She was a child of the faithful,
Proud of the land Of her birth
Land Of the star and the crescent
Home Of Mahomet on earth.
Then came a slave-a Circassian-
Into that Ottoman fold,
Bought for her smile-most alluring-
Bought for her hair Of redgold:
She was a heavenly houri,
Such as the Koran describes;
She was a dream of a woman
And was most subtle besides.
She was a Circassian jewel,
And was the new shining light;
She, by her beauty enthralling,
Won in day and night:
She ruled the caliph's seraglio-
Eunuchs and slaves at her call
She became queen Of the harem,
She became queen Of them all.

Chautauqua in Iowa.

Chautauqua people, those who make
the contracts for talent as we'll as the
talent itself, count Iowa the most fer
tile field in the entire country for their
work. This has been a top notch sea-
son, too. Hundreds of assemblies have
been held and dozens of programs are
in progress at the present moment
The support of these chautauqua
assemblies indicates most healthful
state of public sentiment. There is a
hunger among people for the finer and
better things of life. The chautauqua
endeavors to meet and satisfy this
want. 1t succeeds quite well in it's eff
fort. Some of the talent employed by
the bureaus is not high grade, but it
is all good. In musical lines the effort
is to please the popular rather than
the classical tastes. The lecturers do
mostly ethical, moral and religious
work rather than technical and scien-
titic. The effect on the whole is very
beneficial. The influence of this work
is broadening and the end is going to
be higher grade citizenship.
There can already be found in the
country, however, a super-critical atti-
tude on the part of some people to-
ward these chautauqua programs.
Most of the musical programs are
mixed. Most all include some of the
older and simpler popular airs. Nearly
every musical company in chautauqua
work gives Annie Laurie" and "Sil
yer Threads Among the Gold" Among
the great majority of people these old
old tunes never grow old. But here
and there will be found critics who
insist that they would refer something
new. This is also true with reference
to the lecturers. Almost without ex-
ception these people are emphasizing
service to humanity as the key to ev-
cry life that would win success. Here
again the critic gets in with the claim
that there is too much sameness.
There is some reason behind this
complaint. Chautauqua managers will
be obliged in future to do little more
managing. There must be more pre-
liminary supervision of programs.
Duplication will be cut out. Two and
three hour lectures which cover the
advance of human progress from
Adam to the last word in aviation will
be cut down to an hour of specif
calculation of some worth while sub
ject. This will leave audiences with
better taste for more rather than less
chautauqua.
In the meantime audiences will also
learn not to be over critical. They will
arrive at point where they will look
for the good rather than those things

1t is most remarkable that Senator
Cummins happens to be the first one
of our statesmen at Washington to
be dragged into publicity by the no
torious Mulhall, who has engaged the
attention of the senate investigating
committee for the last two or three
weeks. Mulhall insists that he was
closeted with Senator Cummins and
that the senator consulted him about
matters of public interest. 1t is true
the senator denies, in an equivOcal
way, that he had any relations with
Mulhall, and while Mulhall says that
there were no improper relations be-
tween them, it is true that consulta-
tons were had between them. We
believe the senator will be able to
come out of this publicity without any
stain upon his reputation, but it is I'M
fortunate that he is put upon the dc
fensive in the charge that he and NJ
hall were consulting together about
public interests.

swoop down upon community where
a contest was had to secure delega-
ton for Governor Cummins, and to
take care of the Cummins organiza-
ton and secure delegation in his
favor at the caucuses.
This was during the reform admin
istrations of Cummins when public
officials appointed by him while draw
ing salaries from the state spent a
large portion of their time working
politics. We are pleased to note that
this practice has ceased, and did so
as soon as the governor went out of
Office and since then the politics of
the state has not been run by a flying
squadron; but little has been heard
of KeltZ for some time, and now it
appears that he opposes Senator Cum
minis and is willing to contest with
him for the nomination for United

THE SOUTH IN CONTROL.

The democrats of Iowa, among other
things they have to congratulate
themselves for in the election of
Woodrow Wilson for president, is
found in the fact that an order was
recently made taking away one OF
the revenue districts in Iowa and Civ
ing it to South Carolina.
Under the republican administra-
ton Iowa had two revenue districts,
the northern and southern. A short
time ago South Carolina complained
that it had not been treated fairly il
the division of revenue districts and
demanded that the claims of that
state be recognized by the democratic
administrator, with the result that re-
publican Iowa bses a district and
democratic South Carolina gains one.
The order will, at least, take away
some good offices from the Iowa DEM
ocrats and give them to the democrats
of South Carolina This is but anoth-
er illustration to prove that the con-
troll of the democratic party is under
southern dominance. The good posi-
tons in congress, it is discovered,
have been largely transferred to
southerners and the northern demo
Gratis are practically spectators of
what is being done.

Mr.. Tabor to Be Married.

Something of a surprise was sprung
upon the community few days ago
when the announcement was made
which is apparently authentic, thai
Charles Tabor, a former prominent
citizen of this place, is to be married

derson, the widow of Major Anderson,
a former resident of Iowa, is to be.

generally will remember Major An
derson, who was at one time prose
cutting attorney for this district and
served term or two in congress. Mrs.
Anderson formerly resided in Iowa,
her home being at Sidney, Fremont
county, but for number of years has
resided at Hot Springs, S. D., as we
are advised. She is said to be lady
of fine personal appearance and OF
rare attainments.
Mr.. Tabor, in a letter to friend
here, said that while he was not is.
