BETTER THAN GOLD.
Ten Thousand Cartons of Whisky
Sunk In Missouri River.

]
Some fifty years ago the Missouri
river was supposed to be navigable.
Small steamboats, took their lives in
their hands and went up or down the
river with cargoes. Occasionally a
boat went up as far as Fort Benton.
Many gold-seelers were glad to take
their chances on steamers on the big
Muddy" says the Des Moines Capital.
Romantic stories have been coming
down from that old lady to the pres
emit; stories of gambling on board and
tragedies have furnished many a
chapter for the novelist The writer's
of Nick Carter style have found pio-
neering on the Missouri a fertile field.
Some so years ago it used to be re-
lated that a steamer heavily laden
with gold had been sunk with all on
board some distance below Council
Bluffs. Old newspaper clippings about
the buried treasure in the Missouri
were often republished.
Now one of the old stories is re-
vived. But the treasure is not gold.
It is related that about so years ago
a steamer bearing 10000 gallons of
whisky was sunk a short distance
down the river from Council Bluffs.
now being more valuable
than gold makes the old revived story
more attractive than formerly. The
Capital has printed the revived story
IF the sunken vessel and the 10000
yallOns The story will be readily be-
ieved now Any story about sunken
reasure is believed when it has been
xtant long enough. It can be ex-
oected that men wearing diving suits
will be risking their lives in the Mis-
oui after the buried whisky.
This is not exactly the golden age,
nut it can be called the gold-brick
ge. And in a country where smart
men can sell stocks without value to
hose who do not want them, there
) no object that is not within the
ange of reason.

ONE BIG UNION.

VINDICATTON OF THE
ROCKING CHAIR.

There are no savants like the
French. When they investigate a
question they do it scientifically and
without a trace ofiprejudice. For
example, the French Academy of
Sciences has just finished an ex-
haustive inquiry into that '"Ameri-
can fad" as it has been considered
in Europe, the rocking chair. The
verdict is strongly in favor of it on
every physiological ground. We in
this country scarcely knew the
scientific justification for the rock
ing chair. 1t was enough for us
that it was comfortable. But now
the French reveal to US that in our
laundering rule -of-thumb way we
had really hit upon a great truth.
The rocking chair assures the nor
NAL position OF the skull on the
spinal column" is most conducive to
proper breathing and has Heaven
knows what additional merits.
1t is to be hoped that this au-
thoritative decision will put an end
to the wonder and ridicule excited
by the few American rockers" that
ind their way into henighted Eu-
rope. At home. it beseems us to
take our -vindication modestly.
There will be some whom all the
wise men in France cannot persuade
that an acre or two Of women on
the piazzas of a summer hotel, all
rocking with a lamentable lack of
unison or rhythm, is a pretty sight.
But the candidate who sticks to his
porch rocking chair will take fresh
courage from this French scientific
Endorsement.

of which the mammary glands are
a part. particularly in woman, and
the higher sentiment of love seems
to have it's chief seat in the breast
of man as well as of woman. Love
is essentially a physical passion,
and no matter how pure II may be,
or how far removed from the
grosser desire to perform the re-
productive act, ii is out of this de-
sire that all those etherealized emo
lions originally emanate. and to this
that they all must ultimately re-
vert. Nature begets no useless
thing. Everything we find our
selves endowed with Is more or less
closely linked with one or the other
of her great economic ends, with the
preservation or the perpetuation OF
life. The passion of love in it's most
elevated forms is so indossolubly
connected with the latter of these
ends that there exist no breaks in
it's chain. It's final object can never
be less than reproduction itself 1t
is only when we thus regard it that
any just conceptions of it's nature
can be formed. Instead of charg-
ing love with impurity because we
find IL constantly tending toward
this object, we should see in this fact
only the natural working of a great
harmonious law. This truth once
fixed in the mind, man will learn 20
expect the consequences from love
which he now so frequently de-
plores. But the most important ad-
vantage which will flow from the
recognition of the unity of all the
love sentiments, will be that of rails
ing the standard of those forms
which are now called base to the
same dignity with those which are
regarded as pure. 1t will be seen
that all love is pure, since II is
natural; for nature. not convention,
is the true standard of purity"
Then Ward proceeds to state the
sociologic effects of the loveNsen-
timent through physical modifca-
lions caused by the preference of
the males and females for certain
types, climate, marriage systems,
difference in sexual desires, and
other salient points.

Written In
Prisons

Solitude drives some men mad; 1t
sharpens the wits Of others. Cour-
ageous men have often turned con-
finement in prison into a great per-
sonal achievement, while more
faint-hearted ones, crushed and de-
feated by self-pity, have drifted
quickly into a condition Of inertia
Some of the greatest books in all
literature were written in the soli-
ture of prison cell.
Vincent Blanco Ibanez, the Span
ish novelist who recently came to
this country to write novel based
on American life, is an example Of
how a brave man can turn enforced
solitude to profitable account. He
was a journalist. Because Of po-
litical activities in an attempt to
free Cuba he was sentenced to four
teen years Imprisonment, but
served only fraction of the term.
1t was while serving his sentence
that he began his career as a now
elist. His writings have not only
won him fame throughout the civ
ilized world, but have made him
rich.
Ibanez has achieved greater ma
terial success than his illustrious
countryman, Cervantes. Although
Cervantes wrote the greatest novel
in the history of Spanish literature,
he died miserably poor. He was
prisoner in Madrid Jail when he
wrote Don Quixote. so poor that he
was unable to procure writing ma
teriaIs, and much of his manuscript
was written on scraps of leather.
Dante wrote most of his wonder
full poems while in perjury and exile.
after he had been condemned to be
burned at the stake. John Bunyan
wrote Pilgrims Progress in Bed
ford Jail, where he was confined
twelve years. Raleigh wrote his
History of the World" during thir-
teen years Imprisonment in Lon
don Tower.
Robinson Crusoe," translated into
all languages and widely read in
every country in the world, was
written in Jail by Defoe, who was
three times punished in the pillory.
Lovelace was a prisoner when he
penned the immortal lines in his
famous poem:
"Stone walls do not a prison make.
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for a hermitage"
Thomas Cooper was confined In
Stafford Jail when he gave to lit
erature his "Purgatory OF Suicide"
Csmpanella was for twenty seven
years in a dungeon, where no ray
of sunlight ever penetrated, yet he
composed while there "Civitas
Soils" which has been translated
into many languages.
Oscar Wilde's "De Profundis" Is
probably tho most sorrowful story
that was ever pennes within prison
walls.-Sing Sing Bulletin.
