MATCHING GLASS EGGS.

The other day a hen fanc!er was
telling . true story or one he asserted
true. One of his hens started in TO
hatch out one of the glass eggs sold
everywhere as nest eggs. He changed
her nest and put good eggs under her
but she refused 10 sit On them She
couldn't forget her glass egg. Il was
an obsesSion. She was bound 10 match
il. And she sat on j; until she died.
The liquor interests are sitting on s
glass egg. II will not hatch. They
may make trouble and annoyance for
the majority in This state but sooner
or later they will die on the nest The

When Verdun Was EnaIish.

A century ago verdun, now the
pivot Of the struggle on the western
front, was virtually an English town.
II was there that Napoleon, in 1908.
informed most of the English tourists
IN France. They were arrested on the
rupture Of the treaty of Amiens as a
reprisal for the seizure of French
ships in British ports. From 1875 uu-
til 1914. when the allies entered Paris,
thousands Of British tourists lived in
compulsory exile in France. Many
were men and women OF wealth and
title. They had taken their families,
their carriages and servants with
them to France and were following
the grand tour" when they were
caught by the resumption of hostili-
ties. Verdun became for the time
thoroughly Engiish-there were Eng
lish shops in every street. English
clubs. including a jockey club. and
there were regular race meetings. The
interned Englishmen had their own
church, and It was one of the pastimes
of the French to watch the exiles leav-
ing the edifice after service on Sun
day mornings.

ADVICE.

Advice Is free gift which can be
taken or left. and is usually left.
The amount OF free advice distrib-
uted in this country every day would
reach from the Brooklyn bridge to
Pixies Peak, IL laid end on end. and
more samples are left at peoples door,
steps in week than the combined
output of all the liver pill and plug to-
bacco factories in the land.
Despite the fact that advice does
not cost anything. it is given about
as warm welcome as small but
why meat bill which has been paid
four times by actual count. Scattered
all thru the closets, attics and spare
rooms in thousands of humble homes
may be found neglected, moth eaten
packages of advice which were given
along with the wedding presents and
were then tied up and laid away along
with five or six sets Of extra silver nut
picks. Once in a while some repentant
wife, who has maligned her husband
for refusing to partake OF delicacy
brought home from the last church sup
per, will remember some advice that her
mother gave her when they were franz
ing up the bridal wreath and apologize
with fresh cream puffs. but this Is a
rare happening. The freer advice is the
less people like it, and the madden they
get when it turns In at the front gate
Advice is mostly given by people
who have been there or had some rel
alive who has been there and never re-
covered. The sick room probably pro-
duces more advice than any other To-
cality on earth, unless II is a revival
meeting led by reformed soak. II

HARDING'S NOMINATION


Had Allen or CoSson withdrawn last
week the result would have been the
same. So many powerful influences
We're back of Harding that his defeat
was well nigh impossible He swept
all the river counties Ike a prairie fire.
This result was anticipated after he
had been rendered the support Of the
German alliance. The Corporations
were against both Cosson and Allen on
account OF their speeches and ex-
pressed views. Many hundreds or
thousands Of farmers took frigh, at
the good roads train and turned to
Harding.
Not in recent years has there been a
campaign in which there has been 30
much deception IN regard 20 state is
sues. National issues were practically
ignored. hence Harding's nomination
means nothing. so far as exalting citi-
zenship is concerned.

He can drop IN casually and mention
IN an ordinary tone Of voice that he

summer seas az its feet; but notice
how gladly its inhabitants seek
America where winters are cold and
springs are cloudy and damp but
where labor and thrift bring their
certain reward. Where the sons Of

YOUR VACATION.
TSiolx CITY Tribune.1

ISioux City Trlbune.J
Vacation period is at hand. If proper
ly used. it is a blessing. To vast num-
Der. however, 1t will be an unmixed evil
that will pass and leave them poorer In
physical and financial resources, If not,
indeed, poorer spiritually.
To an increasing number. vacation
period means a chance to hit it up
for a week or two or longer. instead OF
an opportunity to rest and recreate
physically, to broaden ones mental
horizon somewhat, to come in contact
with high minded, high purposed souls
and get new inspiration.
Some OF the vacation wrecks are due
to ignorance Those accustomed TO Of
fee life and sedentary habits really be-
lieve q rest means going to the other
extreme and INDUCING in violent physi-
cal outdoor exercise. The result Is their
breakdown. often before their vacation
period is over. They return to work ex-
hausted. On the other hand, some who
have spent g. year of strenuous living
think that complete isolation and in
dolence is the proper vacation. Such
generally acquire a case of nerves,
insomnia and irritability as the fruit o.
their vacation.
The Boston Transcript, in offering
vacation advice. hits upon a happy
medium. Avoid too much exercise,
and not enough Of it." it suggests;
don't go too far nor stay too near. Cut
out society. but not all of It"
But above all. 1t Nigh, prop
eriy have added Don't spend the
vacation period hitting it up" Under
no circumstances is that profitable.
Loss of sleep, excuses in eating and
drinking. and general dissipation win
bring the yacationist back to his job
in fine condition for a general break
down, a period of sickness. and, gener-
ally, without any surplus funds to tide
him over any unexpected emergency.
II YOU can not plan and carry out
safe and sane vacation, better stay at
YOU Job.

A progressive Dubuquer asks us this
question:
why don't you suggest that Du-
huaue get away from ehe ridiculous
names applied to various sections Of
the city,"
The suggestion is an excellent one
and in keeping with the new Dubuque
spirit 1t is pleasing to note, how
ever. that we have already shown some
improvement. Years ago one section
of Dubuque was Familiarity known as
Dublin" another as HOMEGROWN
and still another as The Flats.
Other similar names were applied to
other sections. Applying such names
