other privileges. He is to appear
both afternoon and evening, wrestling
all corners. and if he contracts to

There is little doubt here at home
that Gotch is going to meet Stecher
next Labor day before one of the
largest and most enthusiastic bunch
es OF wrestling fans ever assembled.
Judging from the amount Of wrest-
ling talk in Humboldt, the town will
be pretty will deserted on the day

In Philadelphia, Quaker week was
celebrated last week in the old meet
ing house on Arch street. The OBJ
jest was to call to the minds of the
younger generation, the simplicity of
manner and dress and mode of life
which characterized the first Phila-
delphians. few years ago Iowa had
many hundreds of Quakers living in
Henry county and in Cedar county
and elsewhere in the state. One of
the most interesting books issued in
recent years by the State Historical
society is The History of the Quak
ers in Iowa" One of the chief tenets
of the Quaker faith is for peace and
the abolition of war. 1t was an Aus
tralian Quaker, shoemaker by
trade, who went to Petrograd and ap-
peared before the car where his plea
for world peace resulted in the call
ing of the first Hague conference.
Very recently public speaker in
Keokuk in referring to the good
: things which come to people out Of
adversely, gave as an illustration that
out Of John Howard Payne's home
lessness and poverty came the song,
Home Sweet Home" That is such
a good story. it is too bad to spoil
it by referring our readers to ency-
clopa edias and reference Libraries to
prove that the story won't stand in
vestigation. John Howard Payne was
an actor. and true to his profession,
good spender and in addition to
that had a number Of people depen-
dent upon him and was poor in con-
sequence. He wrote the opera Clari
which was first presented in London
~
music of which was adapted from an
old Italian melody, was one of the
feature songs Of that opera. He did
live several years in Africa, but not
as IAN exile from home" but as a
consul at Tunis.
