THE MERRY ANDREW

who is he, anyway"
~'Dalzel - comedian clown, what
you might put it. He came here a
week ago, prospecting to give show.
He happened to be on the spot when
Mayor Worden's team ran away. The
two f1ancees of the mayors two sons
were in the carriage. Dalzen halted
the team just in time to prevent a
bad smash-up. That made him solid
with the Worden family, you may as
sumo"
'And he still fingers in the village"
For very good reason. His pop
ularity on account of the runaway
episode is nothing to the popularity
he has won with his quips and jokes
at the little hotel here. Why, he
keeps the crowd on broad grin all
the time. The lightest hearted fellow
in the world. Don't believe he ever
has care on his mind. He's bottled
up sunshine and mirth. l envy him
his happy, contented disposition"
HIN, thanks" observed the speak
er, a young lawyer named Chester.
Sort of queer fellow I'm inter
ested in him."
He was, far more than he indicated.
The fact was that Dick and Albert
Worden had asked him to look up the
actor-humorist. When they realized
that the lively stranger had saved the
lives Of their future wives they sought
some way of rewarding Dalzel. They
dared not offer him money. With all
his jolly ways there was certain nat
ural dignity about Bryce Dalzen that
proclaimed him to be gentleman.
There was something, too, suggest
i've of mystery. They wished to be
friendly and helpful to DalzelI and
deputized Chester to find out how this
could be brought about.
Already the young lawyer had set

"A Mystery?" Reflected the Young
Lawyer
But now, after Dalzell's heroic act,
his personal popularity as fun max
er, and the efforts of the agent of the
two Wordens entirely changed the
position of affairs. The owner of the
hall entered heart and soul with Dali
zell in advertising and preparing for
the presentation of the comedy.

him miserably The blended voices of the
night maddened him. Almost he could
fancy that he heard peals of mocking laugh
ter, the laughter of the world if only it could
know the truth. She sat alone, the woman
whom he loved, and he, instead of being by
her side must spend this last evening in still
more utter and complete solitude. He looked
up at his gods, and he hated them. For the
first time he felt disposed to despise and even
to ridicule his non-acceptance of the middle
class standards of his sex, which kept him
apart now from those whose sympathy and
companionship might have made life an
easier thing. There was no man to whom he
could tell his troubles. There was no man
in the world to whom he could speak of the
pain that throbbed at his heart. There was
no man who would understand, no friends
voice to tell him that he was doing well, that
in the days to come he and she would re-
joice. This was the price he was to pay.

JERNIYN threw himself into his easy chair.
) As he had opened the door to show Gerald
out he had caught sight once more of his
trunks His servants had come in with
some casual inquiry about the journey. Per-
haps for the first time he realized that the
days of his respite had passed, that only the
few short hours of night lay between him and
his marriage to Lucille. He had waved away
the cup that had so often been raised to his
lips, to give himself in the end, unwilingly
and in humiliation, to woman for whom
he had no love. 1t was queer end to
strenuous celibacy
He rose restlessly from his place and threw

THE MODERN LENT.
Today is Ash Wednesday, The Be-
ginning of the Season of PEN
nance and Abstinence.

The Lenten observance of today is
typical instance of the softening
down of modern times. Some would
call it the enervation of the present
period. With many people the Len
ten observance is simply the trad
ing off of one amusement for anoth.
er. If they drop dances during the
fasting period, they are likely to
make it up by more card parties or
visits to the theater.
That Lent is a benefit to the de-
votees of high society will be admit
ted even by the most bigoted anita
gonists of the churches.
In these circles a daily and dizzy
output of balls, receptions, teas, and
cards is turned out as seriously as if
this were real life. 1t has all the
nervous strain of hard labor. 1t has
not the tonic effect and human in
terest of any real service. No wonder
that the people who live this life are
chronic sufferers with nervous pros
tration. Lent at least stops the
game for few weeks.
For people of the more intense
type of faith, the act of fasting is
felt to have peculiar virtues. Life
to them is a gross and fleshy thing.
the soul continually hObh1ed hy thp
coarse and carnal body, with its eat
ing and drinking. the lust of the eyes
and the flesh. From that point of
view, the abstention from physical
pleasure is purifying, even if bodily
weakness follows, and the result en-
ables one TO see through this veil
of sense into the real and vital spirit
ual world around us.
Most of us can not rise to this lev
el. People are hurried and driven
by daily cares, and the wider visions
are clouded and blurred. Lent brings
many people into the churches, where
for while they are reminded that
life is not all making money and
keeping house and going to picture
For the ordinary person, acts of
real service to the world seem the
most practical use to be made of this
season of religious observance. ae

City Purchases New Machine.

The city of Decorah has just re-
ceived fine new machine to locate
water mains and shutoffs. The ma
chine is set on the ground and wires
are connected with the house faucet
and one to the hydrant. The opera
tor wears a hood detector, and the
detector stops buzzing when over the
break in the mains. Just as soon as
the operator leaves the break the
buzzer starts again. 1t is a great la
Dor saver and money saver too, as it
will do away with the digging up of
the streets in order to find just where
the break in the mains is located.
Harold Mckinney was operating the
machine yesterday and states that
it works to perfection.

IOWA TO GO DRY.
by Vote of % to % Repeals
Mulct Law-State Becomes Dry
Jan. 1, 1916.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 15.-By vot-
ing to submit the constitutional pro-
hibitory amendment to the people |;
to repeal the mulct law Jan. l, 1916,
and to pass the equal suffrage
amendment, the Iowa senate made
Lincoln's birthday anniversary day
which will never be forgotten in leg
islative history in Iowa.
The temperance forces We're n
control of the senate, and the meas
ures for prohibition were given the
right of way. The prohibitory
amendment was passed at the morn
ing session without discussion by a
vote of 80 to 10. At the afternoon
session the Clarkson bill to repeal
the mulct law was passed after being
amended so as to become effective
Jan. /, 1915, instead of July 4 1915.
The effect Of this act is. to bring to
Iowa statutory prohibition.
The vote on the repeal OF the
mulct law was q to %, much mar
rover margin than the prohibitory
amendment had. Division among the
drys was responsible for a part of
this slump. Nine of the vets who
voted for the prohibitory amendment
voted against repeating the mulct
law. This resulted in the repeal hav-
ing only one vote to spare. A ma
jority of 26 is required to pass a
measure of this kind. The affirma-
tive vote was p.
Attorney General Cosson has pre-
pared bills looking to the enforce
ment of statutory prohibition. He
would divide the state into four dis
tricts with an attorney and sheriff
for each district The attorney and
sheriff would be named by the at
torney general and governor.
If the legislature means business
it will have to pass some such law,
Cosson said today. Prohibition
will not be enforced in wet counties
by local officials
BY order of the pes Moines city
council the eighty-six saloon permits
in that city ended Monday night.
The validity of their consent petit
ton has not been decided by the dis
trict court. And even though the
petition has been held sufficient, the
saloon keepers do not expect to be
permitted by the council to open
their doors again

Fire Last Night.

The fire department was called
last might about 1880 to the Mrs.
Bigelow residence property on Day
street, occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hans Fagerlie. The house is a large
frame building and the fire broke out
in the south wing, caused no doubt
from defective pipe. The fire was
discovered by John Ellestad who
lives next door. The furniture on
the ground floor was removed, and a
few minutes after the department re-
sponde,s the fire was under control,
but il damaged the house considera-
bly,. sfQ
Helmer S1ilde had room on the
second floor and he lost all his cloth
ing, besides a sum of money which
was in his room. Damage to the .ex-
tent of perhaps $500 was done to the
house.

Has Large Violin Class.

Prof. Chas. Schmitt. of Pittsburg,
Pa, has been in Decorah for the past
two months. Mr.. Schmitt is pro-
fessional violin player and posses
ses much merit. He visited Decor
ah for the first time last summer
with Sparks circus, and liked our
city so well that he returned here
this winter. He has been giving les
sons on the violin and has a large
class of enthusiastic students, and
he also PLAYS in the Grand opera
house orchestra. He has furnished
music for number of dances here
this winter, and will play at big
dance at Marsh's hall on Washing
tons birthday. Mr.. Schmitt makes
his headquarters at the Marsh Music
House, where he can be found by
any students who are desirous of
taking violin lessons.

A Narrow Escape.

Raymond Qualey, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris Qualey. had an expert
ence sliding down hill Sunday af-
ternoon, that we dare say he will
not care to repeat. He was over on
the Ice Cave road at the east en-
trance, with his bobs and started
sliding down the hill towards the
bridge. He slid down the hill al
right, onto the bridge, and right off
the bridge into the water below,
distance of about fifteen feet. He
was laying flat on the sled, and
strange to say wasn't injured in the
least, but he did get cold bath that
wasn't on his pleas program that
afternoon, How he escaped unin-
jured is hard to explain, other than
he held tight to the sled and it lit
right side up with care.

ENGER PREPARING NEW BILL.
Senator is Waiting for Arrival OF
Federal Agent Before Begin
ming Work.

DR.. F. l.. Watkins of Washington,
d. c., representing the federal cen
sus bureau, is on his way to Des
Moines to cooperate with Senator l..
Nj. Enger of Decorah, in preparing q
bill to be introduced in the general
assembly to provide for the registra-
tion of births and deaths in Iowa.
The census bureau has adopted a
policy of cooperating with the vari-
Gus states in order to bring about a
uniform system of gathering vital
statistics. So far the plan has been
adopted in a number of mid-western
states.
Iowa now keeps a record of the
deaths through the state board Of
health. There is no registration Of
births. Several of the cities of the
state have attempted to take a CEN
sus of births in connection with child
welfare work or save the baby
campaigns, but the state has not yet
taken a hand in the work.
The idea of stabiishing birth and
death registration in Iowa under the
suggestions made by the govern
ment is receiving the backing of
many organizations in the state.
Senator Enger probably will hold his
