GOOD FOR COUNCIL.
. The Republican desires to highly
ommend the city council for their
provision to attend tfco next meeting
of the State Municipal League at
K-rawfordsville. If any or all of them
go, they will have the distinction of
Ibeing the first council of this city to
attend any of the meetings of this
JLeague.
Mr. Logan -was present a time or
.two when he was mayor, but the
members of the council never have
one.
The decision of the council, mak
ang provision for their going in case
any of them :an do so, shows that
bey have the right spirit of prog
ress and want to know the very lat
est and best methods which are be
ing used in our cities today. At this
Convention they can learn more in a
Ehorter space of time than in any
other way.
All up-to-date business men at
tend conventions in their lines of
trade in order to learn the latest and
best methods and principles used by
he best and most successful men.
"Why should not city councils do
the samet
Our council is simply carrying
modern business methods into their
city government, and our people
should appreciate their work at
its true and high value.
As to the appropriation of funds
from the city to pay the expense
of this trip, that is a matter of
business justice. Those who go will
go for the benefit of the city and
the city should pay the expense.
Ten dollars will not nearly pay the
cast of a trip to a three days ses
sion, but it will help.
We believe that this $70, if used
by the council, will be seme of the
best spent money ever paid out.
The people should be glad to have
members on their council who are
so up-to-date, and have the interest
of the people so much at heart,
that they will take time from their
business to attend such a meeting.
The action of the council Mon
day night was the making of
a provision to attend, in case any
cr all of the members could go.
Hre's hoping that they all may be
able to attend, if . for only one day.
After the above was written we
cere astonished to read tbe "peanut
polities" stand taken by the Demo
crat, censuring the council for ap
propriating city funds to pay the
cast of this trip.
It seems strange indeed that when
the council is doing what every in
telligent citizen should be glad to
have them do, the Democrat should
so belittle itself and the city as to
jump onto them in this rediculous
manner. Its editor must have had
a bad case of the grouch.
Whtn Empress Eugenia Was Young.
I was so lost In admiration of this
(eronderful Empress Eugenie that in
Cancing in the royal quadrille with the
Ousslan consul I forgot to make tbe
czu&l steps. Everything wag symmet
rically perfect in her, the slender,
graceful figure with the beautifully
modeled shoulders, which were en
hanced by the white dress she wore,
profusely embroidered with pearls and
aturer. Her exquisite shape attracted
xae perhaps even more. than did the
classically beautiful head, with th
noble regular features and the auburn
hair, upon which sparkled a royal
Cladem. Her charming smile bewitch
ed me as much as did the few friendly
itrords she addressed to me In her me
lodious voice. Princess Yn Bacowifs

The old question of the origin of the

teen said. The most probable theory
tj that wh'cb links the Indian with
tie Mongolaids of East "Africa", whose
physical characteristics are strikingly
dmllar to those of the American aborig

anese there are many d renounced re
semblances, and some excellent au
thorities are of the oplnlon that it wa

criminally sprung. If. a ome think,

Pointer for the
TolIowUp'Man
"A
NY mall for me?" asked .Mr
Grind of Mrs. Grind, who met
him at the homecoming door.
"Why, yes." replied Mrs. Grind, as
she handed him a bundle of mail be
fore he had untangled himself from
both sleeves of his overcoat. "Here's
one from the Abraham Nathan Iron
and Metal company, and another
from some one looks like a wo
man's handwriting In South Dako
ta." Grind laughed. "Yes. Nathan &
Scott still think I'm iu the rags-old-iron
business on account of that ar
ticle I wrote three years ago for 'The
Waste and Iron Age.' But the Da
kota letter gets me."
Mrs. Grind looked over his shoul
der as he sat down aud tore open the
envelope of the letter, which did
seem to be addressed in a feminine
hand. Its penmanship was good
that of an educated woman and
from their reading of it several thing
were evident. The writer had spot
ted Mr. Grind as an eminent author
ity on waste of all kinds; she lived
In a stock country, whose people
were mostly on the move, and, as she
expressed it, "lived out of tin cans;"
and she wanted to find out how and
where to sell these tin cans," with
which her country was cluttered and
which were going to waste.
Further, she was not greatly bless
ed with the goods of this world and
would "find life more enjoyable" il
she could discover a market for bones
r.na cattle and badger hair, with
which the prairies were covered; she
had boys and teams, but no markets.
"Now, I don't care what you say"
and as the eyes of the readers met
Mr. Grind could see that his wife was
half laughing and half crying
."that's a real pitiful letter. Dean
old soul! With all her boys and
teams tin cans, bones, and hair, all
around but no place to send 'em to.
I can just see her In the Dakota
ranch, with old clothes on and crack
ed knuckles, writing here ?nd there
trying to follow up this business that
makes money from thrown awaj
things If one only knows where tc
sell 'em and supposing you know all
about it because you wrote as if yoo
did."
'"But she's not so far out of the
way as these so-called business met
who have been writing to me," Inter
posed Grind, "for the last three yean
on. the supposition that I'm a whole
sale dealer In all kinds of waste pro-
"ow this Mr. Grind once, when is
a desperate moment, needing an over
coat, slid over a raft of fanciful top
ics and selected "Rags-Old-Iron" foi
his subject, wrote it up, sold It, and
got an overcoat big enough to flop
around his heels.
Those "follow-up" fellows saw the
article, got his address from the city
directory, and for two or three yean
have been trying to sell him carloads
of iron and other metals, rags, bur
laps, and all the castoffs mentioned
In his article. They are the same fel
lows who advertise thus:
"WANTED Position, where the
abilities of a first class follow-up
man, a business getter, will be ap
preciated; have made a study of let
ter forms and correspondence, and
when I once get on the trail of a mao
h cannot escape."
"I don't think you have anything
on me." announced Grind Jr., who had
entered In his new high school gradu
al 011 suit. "I'm still getting letters
from four business colleges whlct
commenced to send me circulars wher
1 graduated from grammar school
four years ago, Inviting me to take
special summer courses, special wlntei
courses, and what-not to make up fox
my deficiencies in writing, spelling
and arithmetic. You'd think some ol
those guys would wake up after three
or four years and say to themselves
Jimmy Grind, Jr., must be quite a
iaa by this time. He's either got
through high school and knows ho
to write a fair letter, multiply twelve
times twelve, and spell two syllable
words, or made up his mind some
where near what he wants to make
of himself. So I guess I'll quit Urin
at him and save my shots for some
body I know something about. "
Out "of this conference on the hit
or miss follow-up methods as applied
to one small family It may be that
the business may get at least one
pointer toward practical reform. Id
short, you follow-up men revise youi
lists once Id a while. . The Dakota
woman tells her own story of etrug
gling in the dark for information and
something to "make life more enjoy-
aDie, but you are supposed to be
business men. So don't shoot in the
dark until you get gray. Wake up
ana und out how many of your shot!
really hit anybody.

THE BALD TRUTH.
It Wat Handed Out to the Clerks by
the Bell Boy.
Both Fred Sblreman, chief clerk, and
Jud Carter, night clerk, at the Beel

and both have until quite recently
been proud of the fact.
According to a friend, it took a negro
bellboy at the hotel to take the conceit
out of them a few days ago. A travel
ing man, who had not been stopping at
the hotel for some time, pulled up at
the desk the other day.
He gazed at both over the rim of his
gold spectacles for a minute. "Gracious
goodness, he said, "you fellows will
soon be combing your hair with a

"Excessive brain work," said Shire
man. Isn't that right, Carter?'
"Correct corroborated Carter. -Only

Then he turned and winked at a negro

The negro boy grinned. "Well, now,

PASTURE -SUFFERED
Wheat Said To Be Injured, Small
Clover Killed and 0at3 Check
ed In Growth All Rejoice
Over Showere.
The rain of Monday brought an
end to the dry spell which was be
coming serious for many of the
crops in this county. At a number
of points in the country rains ha a"
fallen before this and put the crop
in better condition, but this vicinity
was not relieved until Monday.
The pasture especially and the
hay crop have suffered from the
dryness and the latter will in all
probability be cut short. The wheat
has also been much affected, many
pieces having begun to turn yellow.
The supposed injury may, however,
not prove as bad as is expected.
Small clover, sowed this spring, has
in some places been killed. All
garden stuff has been held back and
made less luscious than it would
have been. The rain was a good
one, however, and all are rejoicing
over it.
