The old school bell is standing yet, The bell tog to and from That called us in those happy days, So many years ago. But a different set of children now, Is playing round about, Upon the old school house steps, Where we romped in and out. A world of happiness, Their bright young faces tell, As onward to the school they go, To the ringing of the bell. Can you not recall those happy days, A child at school, For within its walls pure and fair, We observed the golden rule. And under heaven's vast canopy, Either by night or day, We will When the old bell rang for dinner time, With hearts so light and gay, The children would lay their studies aside, And their outdoors to play. Some would chase the butterflies Across the clover fields, Some sit beneath the shady trees, To enjoy their frugal meals. Some would gather flowers wild, The ones we loved so well, Each chair a gay tree, Till the ringing of the bell. I shall ne'er forget the closing scent, 'Twas in the balmy month of June, The song birds sang their sweetest songs For all nature was abloom. A happy lot of girls and boys, On this the closing day, Books here and satchels there, While flowers around them lay. Good bye to teachers and playmates, And the old school house as well, And they were complimented by The ringing of the bell. And when the day was over We started for our homes. Some went in a crowd, While others went alone. And alone we must all go, And we oftentimes wish for those good old days That we cannot recall again. So send your children on to school, For the day they come on to school. They may some day bless your eyes, Rang out the good old bell. A merry lot of children, As homeward they retreat, Bringing back cherished memories, To those they chance to meet. But their future lies before them, And parents must not wait. And as the tree grows crooked, It is straight. So farewell, schoolmates, one and all, Again I say farewell, Tell your children round about, The story of the bell. S. C. Rose. ROCK ISLAND.

Stick to a thing, but don't bore your friends telling them about it. Do it. Edison says that one could live entirely on canned goods. But would one? When a person is known as a "good fellow," it often makes him known as a fool. European count leaves an estate of $18,000,000. Our girls never seem to land that kind. But a church press agent, you may recall, couldn't conscientiously be a church member. Why is it that man always look worse than the fashion pictures and women better? "My money is like a boll on my neck," says a Chicago philanthropist. Another "swollen fortune." There is still a scarcity of telephone girls. By the way, is there an over-supply of girls in general?

The latest wireless invention enables one ship to tell where another is in a fog. It may reach ultimate perfection in being so adapted as to tell a man where he is in a London fog. Pike's Peak in Colorado is a point of great scenic interest. And it may be turned to very practical account. It is stated that a wireless telegram station will soon be established on the peak, and that by using this for relay purposes it may be possible to transmit messages between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts. This is "going some" since the days of long-distance communication "around the Horn" or by means of the pony express across the plains and mountains.

And how convenient to have your wealth concentrated in a paper object less than The Atchison Globe says that no advertiser has ever tried to control its editorial policy, the remark being occasioned by the charge often made nowadays, that the big advertisers direct the editorial policy of newspapers. The experience of the Globe is the encyclopedia of the merchant who does a great deal of advertising is more interested in the circulation department of a newspaper than in the editorial department. If a daily paper goes to the homes of the people, and is read by them, he is satisfied, and may chase after any theory of his own, or of his own, and he isn't trying to shoulder those of the editorial brothens. There are newspapers controlled by people outside of the editorial rooms, and a good many of them, more's the pity; but the people exercising that control are lot the business men who pay their money for advertising space. The newspapers which are established for political purposes are often controlled by chronic officeseekers, whose first concern is their own interests. There are newspapers controlled by great corporations, and the voice of such newspapers is always raised in protest against any genuine reform. The average western newspaper usually is controlled by its owner, and he is supposed to be in duty bound to make all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of times; there are people who consider it his duty to insult his advertisers, that he is免责 and independent. If he is satisfied with his patrons, who pay him their money, and make it possible for him to carry on the business, he is "substidized" or "controlled." The newspaper owner is a business man, like the dry goods man or the grocer. The merchants are expected to have consideration for their customers, and they are not supposed to be subsidized by the man who spends five dollars with them. The publisher is expected to demonstrate by his actions that he is ungrateful for a patronage of his friends. It is a funny combination when you think it over.—Emporia Gazette. The Lost Chords. The village concert was to be a great affair. They had the singers, they had the program sellers, they had the doorkeepers and they would doubtless have the audience. All they needed was the piano, but that they lacked. Nor could they procure one anywhere. At last the village organist learned that he was possessed by Farmer Hayseed, who lived "at the top o' the lil". Forthwith he set out with two men and a van. "Take it, an welcome," said Hayseed cordially "I've no objections slong as ye put 'Pyneuer by Hayseed' on the program." They carted it away.

Lechlinger, Rhenish Prussia.—Oscar Erbsloeh, the German aeronaut who won the international balloon race at St. Louis in 1907, and four companions were killed Wednesday when the dirigible balloon Erbsloeh burst at a height of several hundred feet and dropped to the earth a crumpled mass. The Dead. Oscar Erbsloeh, inventor and balloonist. Herr Toelle, a manufacturer of Barmen. Engineer Kranz. Engineer Hoepe. Motorman Splcke.

The war department recently purchased one of Erbsloeh's balloons. The cause of the accident is a matter of conjecture, but it is believed that the bursting of the bag was due to the expansion of gas by the warm sunshine. Bournemouth. England. — Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, third son of Lord Llangattock and one of the most daring and skillful of British flight from Dover to France and return, met a most tragic death at the close of the first flying machine tournament of the year in England Tuesday. In the presence of a great company of spectators, a majority of whom were women and children, and many personal friends of the young aviator, the Wright biplane on which he was flying fell suddenly with terrific speed from a height of 100 feet. It struck the ground close to the ceiling, and then smashed into a tangled mass, and before the doctors and their assistants could reach the shot Rolls was dead. The event in which Rolls was competing was for a prize for the aviatorighting nearest a given mark. The goal was directly in front of the grandstand, where the spectators were massed. He had risen to a good height, then shut off his motor and was gilding in a broad circle toward the wall. Without warping the tall piece of the biplane snapped off. The machine gave a sudden lurch, and the framework crumpled up the air. When it struck the ground it was smashed to splinters. The doctors found that Rolls had sustained a fractured skull. Lord and Lady Liangattock, the parents of Rolls, narrowly escaped witnessing the tragedy. They were yachting along the coast and put in Poole, near Bournemouth, intending to sail back to England, but postponed going until later. Rolls was thirty-three years old, and was one of the most popular young all-around sportsmen in England. DOES NOT SUPPORT MADRIZ Emperor William, Through Foreign Office, Declares Germany Will Not Intervene in Nicaragua. Bernil—The foreign office Tuesday made public an authorized statement respecting the letter of Emperor William to President Madriz of Nicaragua. Reports have reached the United Nations that emperor be made in America to construe this letter as an indorsement by the emperor of the Madriz party. The statement follows: "Madriz gave notice of his election upon undertaking the presidency, to the emperor in the usual written form. The customary formal reply was prepared by the foreign office. It was not an autograph letter, but was simply signed by the emperor. The address, 'great and good friend', was in accordance with official courtesy.

This is a great mistake. True, a few sales might be made by advertising an absolutely worthless article but it is only the article that is bought again and again that pays. An example of the big success of a worthy article is the enormous sale that has grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathartic. This wonderful record of sales has been made known through persistent advertising and the mouth-to-mouth recommendation given Cascarets by its friends and users. Like all great successes, trade pirates prey on the unsuspecting public, by* marketing fake tablets similar in appearance to Caracarets. Care should always be exercised in purchasing well advertised goods, especially an article that has a national sale like Caracarets. Do not allow a substitute to be palmed off on you.

Herriman, Who Died, Said to Have Planned Swindles Believed to Have Been Treasurer—Was of Good Family and Formerly Held Important Place in French Secret Service. Council Bluffs, Ia., July 14—Russell B. Herriman, one of three of the indicted Mabray organization who have been resisting extradition to Council Bluffs, and who died in the county hospital at Oakland, Cal., a few days ago, was really the brains of the Mabray organization, it is said, and is generally believed to have been its treasurer. Herriman was a man of extraordinary talents. In his younger days, he was a trusted secret service officer, working for the United States government in France, where he effected many arrests for smuggling in addition to hiding in the collection of large sums in customs that otherwise would have been lost to the government. He was finely educated and came of a fine family in New York state and was a wit and bon vivant. After months of fighting in the California courts Herriman, Moore and Brown were placed in jail pending the result of an appeal to the United States court, being unable to give the $6,000 in bonds required by the court. A special term of court it is expected will be held this summer by Federal Judge McPherson for Brown, Moore and others who were not under arrest at the time of the former trial, here three months ago. Herriman was credited with having evolved a scheme of swindles which brought so many thousands of dollars into the coffers of the Mabray organization. Newton Phone War Ended. Newton—A compromise measure adopted at a special session of the city council ended the telephone war that has been in progress here since the Jasper County Telephone company announced early in the spring that increased rates would go into effect July 1. The compromise provides that the company shall operate under its present franchise until its expiration April 1, 1911, and that the following schedule of rates shall be maintained for the next three years. Private residence lines, $1.25; all party lines, $1.00; offices, $2.25; business houses, $2.50. These rates are higher than those provided for under the present franchise, but lower than those the company has been attempting to enforce since the first of July. When the company announced it would operate under the Iowa franchise in order to enforce the new rates, the city began injunction proceedings in the district court, but was checked by counter action by the company in federal court. The city then began casting about for a compromise and the action taken Monday was the result. Great Allerton is Dead. Indianola.—Allerton, in his day the greatest of trotters, died at the farm of his owner, H. E. Hooper. He was 24 years old. Veterinary surgeons say he had no particular alliment and attributed his death entirely to old age. Since retiring from the track nearly eighteen years ago, he had been kept at the Hoopte farm here. His record of 2.09% was never beaten with the old high wheeled sulky in which he performed. Allerton was one of the three greatest standard pred sires that the world has ever known. He shared honors with the famous Gambrino, Wales and Onward. All three of them sired more than 200 colts with records of 2:30 o. better. Before the present year, Allerton will have more of this class of get than either of the other two Farmers to Build Elevator.

McCue, an attorney of this city, was badly beaten by Lemon on Fleuzer and afterward hanged in engy by a mob of infuriated citizens on the principal street. The provocation for the attack on McCue was a question which he asked Mrs. Fleuzer, who was a witness in an adultery case, and which her husband and the spectators deemed improper. Immediately after a recess was taken, Fleuzer attempted to strike McCue in open court, but was prevented by friends. Later the two men on a street corner and Fleuzer struck McCue several times. The crowd which gathered there took up a collection to pay Fleuzer's fine, and on the principal street burned McCue in engy.

If the welcome tendered by the vast throng may be considered a criterion upon which to base a "recommendation" for a discordant note in the immense reception-parade, nor in the wild clamorous crowd which cheered at every glimpse and hung on his very word. The incidents of the day in New York were many, but perhaps none better illustrated the nervous energy and vitality of the man, the near-mania to be up-and-doing, which he has been doing, including the horses and carriages for the swifter and more reliable automobiles.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM HEAD TO FEET "Four years ago I suffered severely with a terrible eczema, beating a mass of sores from head to feet and for six weeks confined to my bed. During that time I suffered continual torture from itching and burning. After being given up by my doctor I was advised to try Cuticura Remedies. After the first bath with Cuticura Soap and application of Cuticura Ointment I enjoyed the first good sleep during my entire illness. I also used Cuticura Resolvent and the treatment was continued for about three weeks. At the time I was able to be about the house, entirely cared for, have felt no ill effects since, I would advise any person suffering from any form of skin trouble to try the Cuticura Remedies, as I know what they did for me.

A immediate party landed, they were whisked away in White Steamers to the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at 433 Fifth Avenue. A little later, when the procession reached the corner of Fifth street and Fifth avenue, Colonel Loeb again showed his preference for the motor car in general and the White cars in particular, when he, Cornellus Vanderbilt and Collector Loeb transferred from their carriage to White Steamers, which were in waiting for them. After luncheon at Mr. Robinson's house, the entire party, including Cornellus Vanderbilt and cars were driven to Long Island City, where they were to take a special train to the ex-President's home at Oyster Bay.

I have tried so many hair treatments that my hair was in a dreadful condition. Mrs. Perkins' first treatment provided her the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her class for scalp treatment for beautifying and growth. Mrs. ED. HARRIS, MRS. ED. Clark, Denver, Col. 2218 DANDRUFF REMOVED AND HAIR BEAUTIFIED. Chestor, Pa., Dec. 12, 1908. Dear Mrs. Perkins: I really feel it a duty to write and let you know how the results of your visit have been obtained by the use of your se treatment. I have not only found it to be a dandruff remover, but it is also a hair beautifier. It would do you good to see how straight and clean your hair is after your treatment.

You certainly know how to beautify your hair, and I wish you every success—and give you permission to use this letter and my name, if you like, as I feel that I cannot so highly recommend it. You certainly know Christmas and a prosperous new year. Miss MAGGIE HO BROWN. 4 1-2 INCHES OF HAIR IN 7 TREATMENTS. Dorsey, Col., Aug. 15, 1909.

I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment before you first arrived. Also received your favor from Puchke and I will very much for interest shown. Now as to your treatment, I used the red shampoo, and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with, and you didn't designate which to use first. I must say, it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had. I felt like I had a great haircut. And I salve, it is the nearest thing to perfection I have ever used, as a dressing, and I don't think you've exaggerated its merits. THE CROWN OF SUCCESS. A year ago the first businessman was made of the wonderful success which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made in the growth of her own hair, and it is her intention to give the benefit of her knowledge to the world at large. Being one of the best known women in this section of the news occasioned much comment, the news occasioned people who had known her for years, came to realize for the first time that the magnificent suit of hair she now was the product of a very short time and that a bare three years ago she wore her hair in short curls, not braded and dressed as a woman, and that her success, was evident from the start. Her classes in the care of the scalp and the growth and beautifying of the hair were filled at once. They grew in prodigious bounds and some weeks ago she was compelled to abandon her out-of-town classes after a confinement heretofore to treatments in the Highlands and to mall order business. In the special articles which will appear from time to time in this paper, we delight to call attention to success in various lines achieved by this city and state, that there is a kind of help to whom hoison is due, and also that proper appreciation and patronage may come to pioneers in business among us. Personal profit for them and example and encouragement to them in success won by members of our race. Even the mean spirited should not begrudge the one when so much is accomplished for the whole people at the same time. In the business Mrs. Perkins does not play the part of a charlatan, but sets forth the possibilities of her work, and her greatest endorsement falls short of the painstaking effort through going edge she uses, and seen her know and grow, we know that she has succeeded and we, therefore, predict that in no great length of time she will be doing a business that is of high business conducted by a woman of our race in any department of endeavor.
