This is all very encouraging, but It is a human impossibility, as we knew human impossibilities, for mankind to reach the grave without a period of incapacity and dependeiroe, and the advocate of age .pensions is warranted in keeping right after the subject.

[Baltimore Sun Democrat] The announcement Is made that the National Sugar Refining Company owes the government a large sum for unpaid tariff duties upon raw sugar it has imported. The amount is placed at $700,000, about the same sum that the Arbuckles have just restored to the treasury. Both of these companies, as well as the sugar trust, are heavily protected by the tariff at the expense of the people -who use sugar. The sugar trust had already paid in about $2,000, 000, out of which it had defrauded the government by false balances. In the case of the sugar trust the theft was L^t it be distinctly understood tliat giving up part of what it has stolen can not square the sugar ring with the government. If President Taft desires to And friends—and from appearances he is likely to need such—let him drag accomplished Jby inserting^a small piece the big thieves out into the light and of steel in the scales. Just how the cheating by the other two companies, or their employes, was managed has not been divulged. The leading officials of all the sugar concerns protest most vigorously that they had no knowledge of the perpetration of these frauds. But one fact stands out conspicuously. The underlings in the employment of the company could not profit directly by underweighing the sugar. That sim ply saved to the company large sums which would have gone to the govern ment if the sugar had been honestly weighed. The benefit of "this, *it would seem, all went to the stockholders, and the big stockholders were the persons most concerned in increasing the profits of the companies. Why should the em ployes. who had probably held no stock and whose wages were not dependent upon it, make themselves subject to a criminal prosecution if some one high There •er the up not OI"der. or pay, or instigate them to do it? This is a part of the so-called mystery that calls for an ex planation.

It is part of the business Newton man of being its father. He virtually acknowledged the parentage by taking the child to Grinnell where the baby was raised by a prominent Grinnell man, altho never legally adopted. The boy was known by the name of the man who wap a father to him in every way as tho he was of his own flesh and blood. Over fifty years afterwards the Grinnell man now grown wealthy, died in California, leav ing nearly all of his property by will to a brother, thus leaving none of his estate to the boy he had treated as a son for many years. The present suit is an effort on the part of this eon to "break the will." •, But this "son" makes a curious plea. He comes forward with another mother. A woman of Des Moines says this "son" is her eon, illegitimate, but the son of the dead Californian, form erly of Grinnell. That this eon is the result of a common law marriage be tween her and the dead man, said com mon law marriage of course occurring before his legal marriage and living in Grinnell. In some reports her resi dence is given at Charlton. She must now be an old woman as this "boy" is now over 50 years of age. And here is another strange condi tion of affairs. The Newton woman that figures first in this story, is now residing in northwestern (owa. Alter her trouble Jn Newton she married and move3 away. She is now a widow And has some property and the respect of all her neighbors. And moved by senti ment rather strange to understand, she states under oath, that this "son," who is trying to "break the wiU" is her son by the Newton man, that she never knew tbe dead Californian and her il legitimate son has no claims on the es tate, legal or otherwise. She seems to be willing to stir up all of the scandal connected with this curious case. In order to prevent her own son from get ting a share of the estate. Taking it all in all the motives of tooth of the two 'mothers" seems hard to under stand. Of coarse, some one is lying, some one is committing perjury, but just tbe same there is some truth, somewhere in this case, and that truth is "stranger than flctlim." Iowa Newspapers WORT® *30 A BUSHEI* DCorrectionville News.] John Wilkins was in town Tuesday. He says he gathered his seed corn be fore the freeze and he is congratulating himself on that fact.

Even the ears that are letft in the "field were damaged by the freeze and subsequent hot and wet weather, unitil many of the cobs are rotting." PART OF A PERKINS SERMON. [Sioux City Journal.] To be like Jesus, is to partake of his power and 'his power Is freely offered to the poor, to the lowly, how ever forlorn they may toe, however distressed, however friendless. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Is it not plain? To find rest unto the soul Is the greatest thing in all the world. To know this Is to have under standing concerning the mystery of the lilies of the field, and the grass therof, and of the strange injunction that no thought be taken of what we shall eat, or of what we shall drink, or of wherewithal we shall be clothed. The heavenly father knoweth we have need of all these things. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God. and. his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." For those who labour and are heavy laden, who feel they can not plan aright, who are in sore distress because of de feats and sufferings, it ie great to have a way pointed out to them, by one who can not err, that they may enter in and find renewal of strength, the joy of life, the freedom from soul oppression, and the sense that they have found a place where they may win victories that entail no wrong and that make secure eternal riches. "Wherefore." said St. Paul in glorious ecstasy, "seeing we also are com passed about with so great a cjoud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set beifore us, looking unto Je«=ua the author and finisher of our faith: who ifor the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of "the throne of God." "Men do not yet know the ineffable power of love, and as yet they have but. feebly invoked it. It has the strength- to lift every burden, to as suage pain, to' bind up all younds. and to bring gladness everywhere to take the place of suffering. Shall we not think on these things, and find music in his gentle voice speaking to our souls? There is no giving worth the while where love Is not and with love there is no giving, however humble, that is not rich in its abundance. There are many hurrying feet: an'd their strength comes from the glad morning when the stars sang together. "Wonderful, wonderful! We have his gift. And what do we say? Even in our .thoughtlessness we say: ."Merry Christmas!" 'Come unto me. all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." THE CHRISTMAS MOOD. [Rev. Herbert Clegg in the Sibley Tribune.] The season of Christmas Is not a time to be Indicated on a calendar. Time and Christmas have nothing in common. What virtue can there be in one twenty-four hours' more than any other? Christmas Is a mood, and the world is unrestrainedly glad at the time We call Christmas, because then we are In the Christmas mood. A giv en day in December is a matter of the ticking of a clock, and a day in March or October would answer equally well. Snow or sunshine, frost or flowers are negligible quantities in sentiments of the soul. Christmas is a matter of heart impulse, of soul logic, which some times is at variance with the logic of the school. The spirit which rejuven ates the crabbed hearts of busy men and breaks down the cold, hard bar riers of selfishness is the Christmas mood, and this knows no almanac. Christmas is a mood. Why, then vex our souls with the petty questioning as to the right or wrong of Santa Claus? Of course there is a Santa Claus, and he is as real as the Christ mas mood. Hear the merry shout of the children, see the sparkling eyes of the youth and hear the glad note which throbs in the reminiscences of ma turer years. What means this general gladness? What has caused the grief and greed of our common life to be forgotten?
