HAPPIEST MAN Is HONEST
He Has No Bad Habits and So He Is
Always Prosperous.

Ohio State Journal: We have no
ticed the happiest man many a time.
He works for his living and he gets
a good one. One thing we notice u.s.,
he is a mar of fine habits; doesn't
squander a cen on liquor, tobacco or
betting. He saves his money and is
getting ready to buy some property.
He loves his home. plays with his
children, reads good books and keeps
company with his wife. Because of
his good habits he saves a little
which will give him a chance to make
an investment.
And then there is another thing
he is a reliable man. He does good
work. He is honest in whatever he
does. Every dollar he gets represents
just that much of honest labor. 1t
is this, largely, that makes him pros
porous and happy. Water keeps its
own level, and so does conduct and
character and prosperity. If a man
is mean and low, so will the conse-
quences be. He cannot be n thing
and his experience another. A low
lived man may grow rich and happy,
but il will not be for long. Anybody
can tell what's the matter with a
man IL he is with him a day; he will
soon see if the other is a spleen, a
stomach, IN uplift or a hope.

COMMITS SUICIDE
ON A RANCH NEAR
ACADEMY.

Geddes, Oct. 13.-George l.. Kirk,
this county, ~comTlitted suicide at his
ranch rear Academy by shooting him
self. The deceased was one Of the
pioneer settlers Of the county, having
located here in 1892. For some years
he was the publisher of the Record
Republican, which in the days before
the advent of the railway ranked as
ms of the leading local newspapers
in this part of the state. He was al
ways a prominent worker in political
circles, having held several important
positions, and at the national conven-
tion at Baltimore was one of the dele
gates from this state.
Up to July i last he was postmas-
ter OF the city of Platte. He resigned
this post in order to give closer at
tention to farming interests. He
leaves a widow, from whom he se-
cured a divorce only a few months
ago and a daughter 16 years of age,
now residing with her mother at
Waterloo, la.
No immediate cause can be given
for his rash act, although it probably
resulted from '%brooding over i'll
health, together with an overabund-
ance of business matters. He was the
administrator for the estate of the
late w. III. Menzie, and had been Civ
ing this close attention along with
his own business affairs.

posed TO give the men something in
place of the union which the company
believes will he better for labor and
capital.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller declines to
comment on his Industrial plan. saying
his scheme is too exhaustive and inn
portant to talk about %haphazard. but
hat in due time he will issue a state

The plan provides for representation
among the men, and meetings of the
workmen are TO be held at regular in

are elected by ballot who will act as
a grievance committee. Genuine rep

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Queen Wilhelmina at Opening of Par

Queen Wilhelmina announced at

bill to eliminate the existing him
ORANGES to the granting of suffrage
to the women of Holland. The an
nouncement was greeted with APP
plause.
According to DR.. Aletta III. Jacobs,
pioneer suffragist of Holland, now
visiting in this country, Queen Will
helmina's announcement about wom-
an suffrage means that the word
male" will be eliminated from the
qualifications of voters. 1t means,
too, that the present parliament, If 1T
drafts a new constitution, as is ex-
pected, may pass a constitutional
amendment enfranchising women. II
it does not make a constitution en-
bodying such an amendment, Ii will
make it possible for parliament to
pass a law to the same effect.
Equal suffrage for Canada has at
last achieved a definite result. Pre-
mier Seton of Alberta announces
that a governmental measure will be
brought into the forthcoming pro-
vincial legislature placing men and

did not eat with the men. Her morn

she emerged after the noon hour, ate

CATTLE FEEDING IN DAKOTA

More cattle will be fed this winter
by South Dakota farmers thar ever be-
fore, says the Dakota Farmer. Much
of this stock would have been ship
ped out this fall but owing to poor
market conditions it was decided to
hold feeders over or feed them out
rather than sacrifice on them. This
will also be a good way to market that
soft corn at a reasonable profit. More
Dakota cattle will no doubt be fed out
another year as these feeders will find
feeding enough cattle to consume all
the roughage on the farm a good pay
ing business. All of the feed raised on
the farm will be put into stock and the
fertility of the farm made richer in
stead of robbing the soil each year, as
has been the custom under the small
grain farming method.

Is, we've just bought this tract, an

For a moment Sandry regarded the
speaker in mild astonishment.

Sandry rose also.

He turned. as If the interview were
at an end, and seated himself at the
desk from which Hampden had just
risen.

other with a snap Of his heavy jaws as
he strobe past Daily and out of the
open door.
AN, by God, we will"
This last came In the deep boom
OF the foreman, who was watching
the departing lumberman with the BIT
ter enmity of years of fighting.
Now, what do you think Of that?"
asked Sandry in profound disgust.

The logger nodded. The purport of
Hampden's visit had been freely

Daily turned to Sandry.
"They's a new cabin settin' acrost
our trail up In the track between

go up an take a look at it," he said.

With a surge Of anger Sandry
turned abruptly, and the two men
struck up the new trail.

AS the foreman went among the
men picking his crew, Sandry turned
down across the slough toward the Of

out the records of the Dillingworth
company and began a systematic
search for word of the narrow tract Of
hill and timber between the camp and
the fine East Belt.
When Daily returned at quitting

cabin and the start of the new cutting,
he had found nothing.

Are these all the records, Daily? Has
