OBITUARY :
GRAF.

| Nicholas Graf was born March II,
1885, at Neiderdonaven, Luxembourg,
and died May II, 1915, at his home in
Cresco, Iowa, aged 80 years. He came
to the United States when II years of
age, living some time in St. Louis,
where he followed the work of ship
building and for several years acted as
boat carpenter, running on the Mississ-
ippi river from Memphis to New Or
leans.
In 1860 he was married to Miss Cath
crime Cannon, who preceded him in
death only six months. Their home
was in Prairie du Chen until the spring
of 1867, when they moved to Saratoga,
Iowa, to farm which they purchased.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graf continued living on
the same homestead until 1890, when
they moved to Cresco, Iowa, Mr.. Graf
engaging in the -four and feed business,
from which he retired in 1912. Eight
children were born to them, FIVE of
whom are living
Honorable in all his dealings with his
fellowmen, strict in the observance Of
religious duties, kind and considerate
toward his family, he has left heri-
tage worthy of emulation. His death
came unexpectedly, having been in his
usual health until few hours before,
when he complained of chill. Medi-
cal aid was summoned and for a time
he seemed to improve and assured those
around him that he was not seriously
ill. An hour later he asked for his
pastor, Rev. Father Murtagh, who
came and administered the last rites of
the Church. With these words, IF its
Gods will, I'm ready" Grandpa Graf
closed his eyes in death.

In the case Of food it would be
foolish to attempt to substitute

The Boys Who Never Work.

From the Kansas City Star.
We can only wonder at the silly way
in which some men waste their lives.
One day it is man in Cincinnati who
enters bank, shooting this way and
that, scoops the money into a bag while
the employees hide, leaps into a stolen
motor car. enacts the robbery again in
another bank. and at last. when cor
nered, kills a policeman and is himself
killed. Enough of adventure, excite
ment and tragedy to last a lifetime
crowded into q few hours. with murder
at the end. But what for? The chances
of the man getting away were SO re-
mote that only fool would have under
taken the job. The next day it is in Kan
sas City. Two men rob a shopkeeper OF
diamonds and money and try to escape
by running through crowded streets.
silly and futile thing to undertake. The
end Of their folly will be years and years
Of hard work, hard living. lonesomeness
and heartbreaking monotony in prison.
The man who undertakes to live by his
wits. to get money without working for
it, is foreordained to failure. And yet
there are always men starting on that
road. In general they are men who
failed In youth to learn the lesson of in
dustry They got the Idea that the end
of life was to get on with as little effort
as possible. The boys who are spared
all work by indulgent parents. who ex-
pect everything to be done for them and
to do nothing for anybody else. are on
the wrong road.

USES OF HERED1TY.
Some Illustrations Tending to Show
That Blood Tells

From the Chicago Journal.
We have heard SO much these latter
days about the evils of bad heredity
that it might be well to reckon for a
moment some of the blessings Of good
heredity.
II it had not been for the descend
ants of Jonathan Edwards our eastern
universities and colleges would be
short their most distinguished presi-
dents.
If it had not been for the descendants
of a single Austrian who came to this
country three generations ago Sir
Thomas Upton would have had pretty
easy work lifting the yachting trophy.
That Austrian's name was Herreshoff.
John Adams was very mediocre
first-class minister to England. and a
sound patriot. His son, John Quincy
Adams, originated the Monroe doctrine.
and for sixteen years led the fight
against slavery in the House Of Repre-
sentativeS.
In the third generation came Charles
Francis Adams, war minister to Eng
land, the only man who ever called
Lord Palmerston down and made good
with 1t; while scattered around the
noted descendants of the original J. A. {;
all of them remarkably above the av-
erage in intelligence and character.
In colonial days an Irishman of Eng
lish descent and his wife, who was
Irish without any explanations, came
to Virginia. Their name was Preston.
Four governors of Virginia were de-
scended from this Irish pair. Their
seed gave governors to South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, Kentucky. New York.
Missouri and California.
In the civil war twelve of their de-
scendants reached the rank Of general
in one army or the other; and the COL
onels they produced are almost too
numerous to mention.
Heredity works both ways; but
usually the right way.

The requirements of different mar
kets as to eggs vary: New 1ork's tip
top egg market requires a Whlte-shell-

demand brown-shelled eggs. Philadel-
phia is becoming a white-shelled egg
city. Washingtonians and Baltimore
people make little distinction as be-
tween white and brown shelled eggs,
paying equal prices for either.
The man who caters to individual
trade, however. will find that it will
pay him to study the inclinations OF
his customers. Some will more readily
pay the top price. or a little more. for
big, white shelled eggs. and others
from the New England states. prob
ably-will be willing to pay prem
ium for eggs with brown shells. In
any case, never pack white and brown

The New Israel in Palestine.

The Jewish movement called Zionism
is not a movement for the restoration
of the Jews to Palestine. The little
land could not support more than

of a Jewish nation in Palestine is in
process of practical completion.

Palestone because convinced that the
Jews undying yearning for the land of
Abraham is a fact of the deepest mean
nationality that has shown its fitness
to survive Those pilgrims and their
successors have demonstrated that Pal
estine Is fit for the modern Jew and
that he is fit for the land.
Where the land was treeless and sup
posed to be hopelessly sterile the
colonists have caused the almond and
the olive, the grape and the orange,
and abound. They are changing the
desert into a garden. At the same time
the material development of the Jew
ish colonies has been accompanied by
no less remarkable development of the
Hebrew colonizers both socially and
spirituality. Hebrew. after sleep of
more than 1000 years as a dead" Ian
guage, has again become living
tongue, serving as the medium of in
accommodation between Jews from
many countries of different languages
The renascence of the Hebrew Ian
guage has in turn acted powerfully to
revive the spirit Of Jewish nationality.
It is a strange instance of the turns
of history's wheel that nearly twenty
three centuries after the return of Ju-
dean exiles from ancient Babylon, which
for millenniums has been buried be-
meath the rust of ages. modern Jews
now return again to the land to their

Nelson and Villeneuve.

the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
When Nelson fell at Trafalgar he
was only forty-seven years old-eight
years less than Sir John Jellicoe's
present age-and the French COM
mander, Admiral de Villeneuve, was
only forty-two. The latter was a brill
liant sailor. who had already fought
against Nelson. and he thoroughly
realized what the English tactics were
going to be on this occasion. Indeed,
he held meeting of the captains of
the allied fleet. and lucidly explained
them. Nelson would not, he said, form
line of battle parallel with the allied
line. He will seek to pierce our line,
surround our rear, and overpower
with groups of his vessels as many
of ours as he can cut Off" Still, al
though prepared for this form of at
tack. Nilleneuve failed to resist it, and
he was taken prisoner, bitterly regret
ting that no shot had dealt him the
