have the editor give it a good write
up and show the people how much

than anybody else, they don't rest
for weeks until they have thorough

SAD DEATH OF A LITTLE BOY
Manford, Only Son of MIR. and Mrs.
Lewis Hollars, Died From Drink
ing Concentrated Lye.

One of the saddest events we have
been called upon to chronicle for
many years occurred last week at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Hol-
lars, five miles west OF Linevllle,
when on Thursday morning the little
~ year old son, Manford, drank a
solution of concentrated I've, during
the temporary absence of his mother
from the room where she had been
using the solution in washing milk
vessels. Tho little fellow was placed
in q car and hurried to physician
at Mercer with all speed, where ev-
erything possible was done to coun-
teract the effects of the poison, but
without avail, and death came to the
little sufferer the following morning.
He was the only son of the deeply
bereaved parents, the other children
of the family being three daughters,
and was a grandson of Mr.. and MRS:
]. N. Hollars, of South Linevllle, ana
Mr.. and Mrs. AL Vaughn OF Decatur
county. The funeral was held on
Saturday, touching and consoling
service being conducted by ). W..
Judd, the interment being at the
Hollars cemetery.
Little Manford Field Hollars was
born July /, 1913 and died August
27, 1915, at 500 a. M, being two
years, one month and twenty-slx
days old. He leaves father, moth
er and three little sisters-Flora'
Grace and Gertrude-besides his
his grandparents and other near rela-
tiyes to mourn the loss of our be-
loved one.-Lineville Tribune.

The Employers Liability Insurance.

From occasional letters received
from our readers, we suspect that
some agents of liability insurance
companies are disappearing the
employers liability law enacted by
the thirty-fifth general assembly Of
Iowa. Under this law, household or
domestic servants and farm or other
laborers engaged in agricultural pur-
suits are especially exempted, and
farmers are not required to carry in
surance to protect themselves
against injury to their employees. If
agents of liability insurance compan-
les should represent otherwise, put
them down as swindlers.
AS noted recently in the Farmer,
Industrial Commissioner Garst has
held that man employed entirely
in the care of a stallion for public
service is not properly called farm
laborer, and he would come under
the operation of the law. Those
who have men engaged entirely in
this kind of service should protect
themselves by taking out liability
insurance policy. Wallaces' Farmer.

Flowers for the Living.

The National Retail Monument
Dealers Association of America met
in Denver last week. The sessions
developed some debates more inter-
esting to the general public tnan
naturally would be expected from
such gathering. Tombstones sell
dom constitute a topic for popular
discussion, but this was an excep-
ton
"Flovers for the living; tears for
the dead" might be used as motto
by the monument dealers in the light
IF resolutions introduced at this con-
vntion. It seemed to be the sense OF
those there assembled that too "ev-
erlasting" much is said about nan
after he dies, and too little while he
r. alive, says the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette. For that reason the monument
men have, in a way, pledged tnem-
selves to start a movement looking
tcward the abolition of dong heart
tearing obituaries which make an
GELS Of men almost before they are
dead, and absolutely regardless OF
what their life on this mundane
sphere may have been.
II the plans conceived at the con-
vention go through, not all the
saints will be dead. Some OF the men
who still live will be given credit for
at least few of their good deeds be-
fore they die and after they have
breathed their last people will not pc
reminded of the angelic qualities OF
the deceased with such depressing
frequency.

The Editor and You.

Did YOU ever stop to consider the
different treatment accorded you py
the editor and that you accord him!
If he should knock your business
through the columns of his paper
YOU would nurse a grudge against
him to your grave, and as time roll
ed by it would grow in size until you
would find it as hard to roll as a
baby elephant soaked in grease.
Now, is such the case with the edl-
tor? He hears that you have rldl-
culed and run down his paper, that
you have told people on the streets
that it could not come into your
home, and then you tell him that
YOUR daughter has graduated. ne
praises her to the skies, says she IS
the Joy and pride Of the community,
the smartest thing on earth and that
her parents have just cause to pc
proud of her.
You can mark your paper "refus-
ed stick it back into the postothce
and boast of it to your associates.
humiliating him, if you can, but II
YOUR son gets into trouble or your
daughter misbehaves in church or
elsewhere, rather than hurt your
feelings he suppresses everything
connected with the unfortunate case,
at the risk of being called numb
skull who can never get hold of the
news.
He hears of your denunciation,
feels the sting of it all, and some
times suffers financial loss as a con-
sequence, but he never uses the
columns of his paper to "get even"
On the other hand, if you have
ANYTHING to boost, he will boost it
for you; if honors come your way he
takes pride in heralding it out and II
death invades your home he will go
to the bottom of his heart for tender
EXPRESSIONS of sympathy and condol-
ence for those left to mourn.
You might sometimes think OF
these things while .endeavoring by
word or deed to belittle the editor
and his usefulness in the community.
You might put a higher polish on
your christianity by following the
EDITORS example.-Macon Times.

Waitress Attacks Hotel Guest.

The much legislated against wait
ress has risen. The legislature dur
ing the last session said they could
no longer accept gratuities in any
form, but the solons forgot to incor-
,orate any restrictions which prohib-
tied them from slamming hotel
guests with waiting trays, or pulling
their hair.
The patrons of the Howe Hotel
were greatly surprised at Friday
who has been employed as wait
ress at the hostelry, following an ar
gument, proceeded to strike a guest,
DR.. Calkins, over the head with
heavy wa 1g tray. Her indignant
feelings &, wing not been entirely
soothed by the first attack, on her
next trip to the dining room, she
paused from her labors among the
soups and vegetables long enough to
repeat the performance. Her next
move was to vary her attack by pull
ing the doctors hair. After that the
irate lady beat retreat to the ice
box and seized catsup bottle. The
other guests of the hostelry had has
tened to get behind improvised en-
trenchments, chairs, tables and even
the sideboard being utilized for this
purpose. A hurry-up call brought the
proprietor, Mr.. Bingham, to the din
ing room, and he succeeded in quiet
ing the young lady. The meal was
concluded after the stage had been
cleared of debris. Miss Cramer,
who was formerly employed at the
Randolph Hotel in Des Moines, left
Friday night, telling the other dining
room girls she is to be married Mon
day. This offers a possible solution
Of the mystery regarding just what
caused the lady to get irate-pos-
sibly she was merely going into
training for pleasant domestic life.

and Mr.. John Richard Leevy landowner in
Christiansted jurisdiction as 9Th Crown Mem-
Der,
1t is supposed by some persons that it is
the duty of the Crown Members in the Couu-
ell always to give their votes in favour Of
measures pr oposed 10y the Government, this
is Il mistake we have head it explained by
a former Governor that the Grown Members
are appointed to represent the poorer part
Of HE population who have no voice in the
selection OF members OF the Colonial CouD-
ell. Hence a Crown Member, like others, has
to vote according to his conscience and after
giving the best consideration possible for him
to the matters brought before the Council.
