Governor Lowden was born near
Sunrise, Mimi, on January %, 1861.
His father was Lorenzo Lowden, who
ran the village blacksmith shop. The
Lowdens left Sunrise when Frank was
seven years old, barely out of the
primer class at the school which Lo-
renzo helped to build, and moved to
Hardin county, Iowa. There the elder
Lowden took up farming. The boy
farmed, too, but did more. He made
spare time for himself and demanded
an education. So well did he succeed
that at fifteen he was master of the
country school, saving his few dollars
for college. At twenty he entered the
University Of Iowa. By outside work
he made enough money to complete
his course-at the head of his class.
Then he went to Chicago. He wan;

greatest business men. Four children
have been born to them, son and
three daughters.
Lowden began to take an active in

to the national convention that in
1900 nominated Mckinley and Roose-

A child is an experiment. A fresh
attempt to produce the just man per-
feet; that is. to make humanity di-
vine. And YOU VIII vitiate the expert
ment if you make the slightest at
tempt to abort it into some fancy fig
ure of your own for example, your
notion of a good man or womanly
woman. If you treat it as little
wild beast to be tanned, or as a pet
to be played with, or even as means
to save you trouble and to make money
for you, it may fight it's way through
in spite of you and save its soul alive
but if you begin with its own hottest
inspirations and suborn them for your
own purpose, then there is hardly any
mischief you can do.-Bernard Shaw.

ten that went into the AdirondacKs
each summer according to State Sery-

formed the foundation for Emerson S

the trip often repeated was that OF
Longfellow, who asked if Emerson
would carry gun. When informed
he would, Longfellow replied: Then
shall not go. Somebody will be shot.
Emerson had great difficulty shoot

hunting he couldn't see the animals.
He shot after his guide gave the Or
