dishes will break into smaller
pieces the further you throw
them. Then go right on with
the work, break all the legs off
the table, it will be easier for
the cat to get upon the next
time, but under any kind of cir
cumstances don't forget the yell
ing, this is important.
Then run right into the next
room, break the mirror on the
dresser. for the man will not
need it after the fire anyway,
burst the dresser all to smash, it
is easier to handle by pieces.
then run up stairs, and throw
the bowl and FLETCHER as far as
you can send them, don't never
let them burn, carry the broom
down stairs and put it with care
behind something so that it will
not get broke, but don't forget
to yell. Then go right to bust
ness, tear everything all to
smash, and if the fire depart
ments puts the fire out and YOU
see that the house is about to be
saved without much damage,
get an AK and go after the roof,
tear it all to pieces, a house
don't need any roof anyway. Do
all the damage you can, this will
help to finish the poor devil that
looses the house and above all
other things don't forget to call
your dog take him along he is a
great asset in a case of this kind,
he will help to keep up the fuss
that you are trying to make, and
besides he will block the fellow
that is trying cody to put the
flames under control. Have
your wife get there as soon as
you can get her there, she is a
great help they can sometimes
raise a heap of fuss.
And, one thing that helps a
lot is to have all the young bah
les there that you can get, have
them all loaded up and hustled
over in baby buggies, don't let
them be brought in arms, they
are not enough in the way.
Then after you have torn up
everything that the fire did not
destroy, and the man is turned
out in the world without place
to lay his head, rush right out in
town and tell everyone what a
heroic fight you but up. but don't
60 to the man and his family
and ask him if there is some
thing that you could do for him,
he would not appreciate it, don't
go up to him and invite him to
come to your house and stay UNI
til he can find a place to stay,
that would make him your en-
envy as long as he lives.
All of the above antics are car
ried out by some hairbrained
fools who go to fire, it is much
better to let the stuff burn than
to get out a lot of old broken
furniture, and it might as well
burn as to be saved, and after
saving it in the manner some
people save it, it is less than
worthless, and is in the way.
When you go to a fire remember
that you have no business there
unless you are cool headed.

The MOuntaineer

The environments under
which he held his station and
made slow but steady progress
were of such an Overwhelming
rigidity that almost any other
people would have succumbed.
Separated by miles and miles of
natural barriers Of rock ribbed
precipitous mountains and I'M
navigable streams from the COM
merce of the world. from civiliz-
alton, without little more than
the shadow of q legal tender or a
circulating medium, has nursed
his ideals of religion, liberty and
home, preserved a pure blood
and on the whole made good
fight. Sinners there were
among us but not infdels. idle
people sometimes, but no
tramps; plain people, but few
fools. There have lived and
passed away mountainers, who
never saw a real church building
or a church spire, but the gospel
was heard in the cabin homes, in
the log school houses and often
under the great forest trees.
There were no church founts
but the holy ordinance of bap-
tism was administered in the
natural streams and the congre-
cation heard the great voice of
the minister and the words of
the Holy Bible reverberated by
the facing cliffs and broughs
again to them in the same deep
solemnity. There were no uni
versities, but it has been said
that log with a good teacher
on one end and a good student on
the other is a university.
There were mountaineers, who
never had the privilege of look
ing once on the monuments of
our great Henry Clay, of George
VI Washington and our other states
men and heroes, but they knew
OF them and appreciated their
great characters. The most I'M
learned had a keen discrimina-
ton and could readily define the
difference between a monkey
and a man. Facing the noun
taineer always is his mountain
pointing upward. He knows its
voice. Above his mountains are
his blue skies and his starry
heavens, which declare the glory
of God, even in the language of
a mountaineer. He knows,
perhaps a time when his soul
was troubled and he prayed
earnestly and it fetched" him
peace. He puts his faith in Him
and his own strong arm. The
blood of the Saxon, Scott, Irish
Welsh and Briton mingle in the
hand of the mountaineer. By
faithful endurance they have in
a great measure at last succeed
ed. They have better education
better facilities in every way. |
The great iron horse" is pene-
trating the mountain fastness
more and more. Good roads and
modern conveniences are at last

LIQUOR AND LABOR.

The Minneapolis Journal remarks
upon the Anti-Liquor Alliance which
started among the organized workers OF
Minneapolis and promises 10 become a
great national influence saying that
Nothing in the temperance movement
IS more striking than the Change of the
last few years in the attitude OF labor.
1t used to De taken for granted that
la Dor was on the side of the saloon.
In the fight here in Hennepin county
a year ago the vets made spectacular
appeal to the labor vote on the ground
OF personal liberty, social pleasure, and
especially OF the danger OF loss of en-
ployment IN case prohibition Won.
All that is required is a trial and 4
short time for adjustment. That will
and does bring the workingmen over to
the no saloon side. Moreover it is not
astonishing that an anti-liquor alliance
should grow rapidly within organized
labor. The idea that workingmen are
| defenders Of the liquor traffic was one
cultivated by the liquor interests.
Workingmen are not booze fighters.
The tag the l!Guor interests placed on
LAT Dor was very largely untrue.
Given the abolition of the saloon and
a year or so of adjustment the saloon
has no chance with the worker He is
no fool His opposition TO the move
ment against the saloon arose mainly

His view was that Of the merchant who
feared the no saloon town would be

The merchant found that out as soon
as had time and opportunity to observe
the change. Labor is no more sensitive
nor is il less sensible than business. It

When the barkeeper has found bet

when the buildings are filled with rea

LET'S DO IT.

An Iowa newspaper puts the news
of a shipment of fish to be placed in an
Iowa lake under a slug head. 1t seemed
rather big news to the editor.
It ought not to be big news but !
very common item OF a very common
event when an Iowa lake or river is
supplied with fish for restocking.
Il is one Of the things we can do
quickly, inexpensively by comparison
and which beng done is done for the
people of the state from children ard
women on 10 grandfather who takes
his fish pole and casts line OF pleas
ant afternoon. Fishing is common
pastime Anybody can tish and with
prospect of success where fish are
plentiful.
We ought TO have a half dozen FISH
Matching plants in Iowa running full
blast thru the summer. They could
and would under proper supervision OF
fishing, keep the lakes and rivers OF
and line sportsman. AS il is we seem
to be obsessed with the idea that we
can breed live game 10 supply the lo0,-
900 or more guns. II is not impossible
that every head of game bred and pro-
tected in Iowa costs the state a dollar
and the man who takes it from 81 70
s. more. And but few persons take
any OF that kind Of game Ducks Of
course are not included among The
game birds bred in Iowa, The num-
Der of ducks Matched within the state
IS so small as to be negliole.
But fishing is a common sport 1t
requires no expensive outfit. Every
BODY can do it and everybody would
do it if the fish were here. And we
could hatch fish enough to create sport,
furnish a considerable food supply and
do it within reasonable cost.
Let's DO it..

Newspapers Also Bolt Harding

II Mr., Harding's political counsellors
are alert to campaign symptoms, they
must feel perturbed over the growing
list Of republican and independent
newspapers taking active or tacit part
against the Harding gubernatorial cam
didacy. 1t is no small matter that sixty
newspapers which usually support re-
publican policies and candidates view
Mr.. Harding as unfit for the governor
ship.
In the words of Woodwork Clum,
secretary of the GFeater Iowa Associa-
ton: Somebody ought to do some
thing about it."
This republican revolt against Hard
ing is based upon definite principles
and can not be brushed aside by chat
about picking lemons and tourists green
In California. The boiling newspapers
have no personal interests or feelings
at stake. They are concerned only as
to their duty. as to saving Iowa from
the grip of special interests.
Following is a list of the republican
and independent newspapers which
have aligned themselves against Hard
ing:

The Sioux City Tribune has disco'-

newspapers which are actively oppos-
ing Harding and as many more which
ara giving him the silent treatment.
Surely they were not adj turned down

Harding is now snarling like cor

facturers. Now let MIN prove Al.
Things which his opponents say about
Harding have been proved. They said
he was wet in his political record and
they proved it from his vote against
dry measures in the legislature. They
said that he was unreliable and not
TO be depended upon in politics and
they proved it in his own letter 10 the
political manager of saloon politics
wherein he had landed promise OF
support from Kenyon and carried i:
to the saloon crowd They said he
had favored the special interests
and they proved it from his vote
for public utilities commission
bill which would have given every pub
lie service corporation in our cities a
perpetual extension Of its franchise
They said that he was not sincere on
the road question and they proved it
by his talk against bonds to the farm
ers and his letter for bonds to a road
booster in Waterloo. They said that
! ne was trying 10 scare people with tain
against paved roads and they proved

AS money has become more plenti-
