Jones, subject "How To Make a Success in Business," was enjoyed by all, as was also the other paper by Sam Lewis. Subject, "Forty Years As a Barber in Des Moines." Below I run a brief synopsis of each paper: neapolis and St. Paul and for the past few years has been a clark with H. S. Chase, the largest grocery company in Iowa. Young Wilson has had some grocery business experience in California. We hope that every race loving citizen will not only give them their own trade but ask your white neighbors and friends to trade there. They are worthy young men. Let us all work for them, boost for them and trade with them. It was indeed difficult to get such a good location Mr. Carl Brown rises from Nevada, Iowa, tending to business. Mrs. Carrie Suter Mason City, where it tinged her daughter, Mior, for several week Mr. John Spencer the city. While he guest of Mr. W. D. Lewis, Mrs. R. J. Roman, Sellars, trained aboard children for an East Forty Years in Barber Business in Des Moines. Speaking of the barber business, I have followed the trade for a number of years and have lived to see its advantages in a good many ways. A few years ago we did not have the things to work with that we have today. We have the hydraulic chairs, the electric massage machines and our shops are better equipped to do business than they were a few years ago. The worst problem that we have to contend with is getting barbers. I have had a great deal of trouble with this part of the business, because so few of the younger men are now learning the trade. I would like to see more of the young men learn. It is an independent way to make your living anywhere you go. If the younger men would learn the trade it would not happen. I would hold our own in this business. When I first came to Des Moines all of the best shops were owned by colored men and they were having good trade, but could not take care of the trade with so few barbers. So now we have but a few shops and still need more barbers. I hope I will see the time when more of the colored men will learn the barber trade and try to make a success of it. Sam G. Lewis. How To Make a Success in Business. It is a matter of time and work. First, understand every detail of your business, and then go ahead. All you need to do is keep on trying. You cannot do successfully what you do not perfectly understand. It will always be capital bearing a large income of interest. Business in every age of the world has been the chief pioneer in the march of man's civilization. Blessings everywhere follow its advancing footsteps. There is no element which will enter into our future success more vitally, have greater influence and bearing on our national prosperity or prove a more obvious safeguard against evils which may naturally arise from a continued flush of success than perfect and judicious popular education. BLAGBURN BEATEN UP. On Monday evening, April 6th, Mr. E. Tracy Blagburn, head clerk in our city engineer's office, was beaten up by a gang of white hoodlums, led by one who was a former employee at the engineer's office, but had been discharged from said department. This same man with his friends tried to defeat Mr. Myerly because he kept a colored man at the head of that department, and after he had failed to defeat Myerly he met Mr. Blagburn in front of the Chamberlin hotel on Seventh and Locust streets and started a fuss, in which he and his two or three white friends jumped on Blagburn and beat him up very badly. The doctor had to take several stitches and dress his blackened eye. The young man is arrested and trial will come off soon. We hope that these rascals will be severely punished. Mr. Blagburn is suffering very much, although able to go out this week. NEW BUSINESS IN OUR CITY. NEW BUSINESS IN OUR CITY. It is indeed a pleasure to announce that two new business stores will soon open up in our city. One is a drug store, to be opened May 1st by W. M. H. McCree on the corner of Ninth and Park streets in that new three story building, and the other a new grocery store by D. G. Patterson and Mr. Wilson, formerly a farmer near Osceola. These young men are fine fellows, each splendidly educated for their chosen vocation. Mr. McCree, a fiskary in graduate and full course in the Iowa State university, graduating there last summer, has had much experience in practical drug business, as he clerked in a drug store in Iowa City and this city. Mr. D. G. Patterson has had more than sixteen years of actual clerical work in the old McGinial grocery in this city and Min- neapolis and St. Paul and for the past few years has been a clerk with H. S. Chase, the largest grocery company in Iowa. Young Wilson has had some grocery business experience in California. We hope that every race loving citizen will not only give them their own trade but ask your white neighbors and friends to trade there. They are worthy young men. Let us all work for them, boost for them and trade with them. It was indeed difficult to get such a good location in a new building. The securing of this splendid building was due wholly to the hard work of Editor John L. Thompson, as those in a position fully know. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. London on Wednesday evening, April 8th, at 7:30 p.m, occurred the marriage of Dr. L. H. Willis and Mrs. Ella J. Lucas, Rev. F. B. Woodard officiating. The couple was quietly married in the presence of their relatives and most intimate friends. A large number of friends were previously invited to attend what was supposed to be a party, at which the announcement of the date of the marriage was to be made. On the arrival of their friends each was told to guess what was to be the surprise of the evening, but no one guessed just what had happened. After the guests had all arrived, Dr. Carter received a mock telegram from Dan Cupid in Loveland, announcing that the marriage of Dr. L. R. Willis to Mrs. Ella J Lucas had taken place just before the arrival of the guests. The reading of the telegram was the occasion of much merriment. The bride was attired in white shadow lace over white messaline and carried a bouquet of white jacquemot roses. The groom wore the connotent black. A dainty two-course luncheon was at the dinner. After an enjoyable evening the guests departed, presumably to their several homes, but instead they congregated at the office of Dr. Willis to await the arrival of the bridal party, but the bride and groom, suspecting that they were to be kidnapped, decided to spend the night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. London. Hardly had they retired before that of Buxton's best society actually entered that home and dragged that couple cut of their bed, dressed them and carried them to the office of Dr. Carter. The girls taking the bride and the boys the groom. They carried them to separate rooms, giving them each a thorough initiation, putting them through various difficult stunts. It was an early hour in the morning before the party allowed the bridal couple to depart, unmolested, to their home. The bride is one of Buxton's teachers, highly esteemed by all who know her. The groom is Buxton's only Negro dentist and has a lucrative practice. Mrs. A. C. Fisher of Des Moines, Iowa, and Mrs. Good of Grinnell, Iowa, were in the city last week attending the Willis and Lucas wedding. Mrs. E. A. Carter entertained a few friends last Saturday evening at progressive whist as a surprise, in honor of her husband's birthday. DAVENPORT IOWA Keep your eye on the date!

E. church, in a recent sermon said a number of things that should cause some of those self-inflicted big men and women that are residents of this city to think, Am I as influential and prominent as I would have people to believe.

But thus far he hasn't been able to row a boat, shave himself or pitch with his toes. Clyde Milan's new contract with Washington is for one year only. This was at the suggestion of Manager Griffith, who told Milan that he wanted to be free to give the outfield a raise next year if he did work to deserve it. Second base seemed to be the hoof doo position of the Detroit, New York and Chicago American league teams last year. All of these clubs expect to have regular men occupy this position the coming summer. --- Pitcher Lefty McTigue of Baltimore and former Brave, will have to stay out of the game this year. He has a chronic illness dating back to the time he was released by the Braves. He was traded for Briscoe Lord. It seems strange that McGraw is unable to turn a successful base ball manager. Braves, Browerman, Dahlen and Tenney have failed, it is up to Robinson, Hersog and McCormick to make good. ... Max Carey, who led the National league base thieves last season, is out to duplicate the feat. There is hardly a chance of his being supplanted by any of the aspirant recruits the coming season. There is no denying Art Devlin has a fast organization in the Oaks. He has several former big leaguers, and his own experience will go far in leading the coast team to the top of the league. Baseball fans will be glad to hear that Germany Schaefer and Nick Altrock are going to master the tango, so that they can perform on the coaching lines before each game. Walter Maranville, Brave shortstop, has been induced to postpone his wedding until after the ball season. Manager Stallings says bridgrooms are hoodoos to a club. Baltimore in the International league will have several former big league players on its staff this coming season. Among them are Midkiff, Ball, Daniels and Cree. The Giants are trying out a catcher named Wilson. The new one is Tom and McDraw says he will take the place left vacant by Arthur, who jumped to the FedEx. Talking of southpaws, Charley Herzog has two on his staff that are as good as any National league team has, Rube Benton and Earl Yingling are the two portiders. Pitcher Earl Hamilton is one of the few crack players with the St. Louis Brown. Hamilton is regarded as one of the best southpaw beavers in the American league. Bobby Byrne has already made good as second sacker for the Phils, and Manager Dooin says he'll make Philadelphia fans forget all about Otto Knabe. Pitcher Dick Robertson, turned back to Savannah by Cincinnati, has been sold to the Birmingham club of the Southern league for a price said to be $2,000. Eddie Foster is going like a house afre this year. The speedy midget expects to have the best season of his career, to make up for his idleness last year. A gipy fortune teller recently told Joe Birmingham that he was going to have a lot of luck. Gipy fortune tellers don't read the sport pages, evidently. Pitcher Blanding of the Naps says Ty Coble leads Joe Jackson because he can hit all pitches. Chief Bender and Jack Warhop have Joe Jackson's --- Cleveland needs more speed, says Johnny Evers, who certainly ought to know, as he hasn't seen the club but once or twice in the last six or seven years. Tommy O'Connor, the crack shortstop of the Notre Dame team last season, has signed to play with Grand Rapids of the Central league. Ed Konechty says the Pirates will win the flag this season. And this is his first year with the Buccaneers. Mahager Stalling has three Cubans on his team—Gonzales, third baseman, and Lugue and Villigon, pitchers. The Toledo franchise in the Southern Michigan league is said to be owned by Charley Somers. Doc Scanlon, former Brooklyn pitcher, has applied to the national commission for relinquishment. During his stay in the majors, Eddie Willis won 29 games and lost 72 for the Tigers. Pitcher Dubuc of Detroit Frank J. Navin, owner of the Detroit Tigers, likes giants for pitchers. The bigger they are the better they suit him. He's got what he wants in this year's crop of hurlers. There are eight six-footers on the Detroit staff, two of them shoot up six feet six inches in the air. Here are the figures on the giant twirling crew: Height. Weight.

Williams 6 180 Shepherd 6.1 185 While the other big league managers are worrying over their chances, Connie Mack is figuring on the size of the crowds at the next world's series. Since Danny Murphy has departed, only Plank and Davis are left from the Athletic team that won the first pennant for Philadelphia in 1902. Manager Chance has a big first sacker on his roster. The youngster is Henry Williams, who is sure he'll stick at the firstbase job. "Hooks" Wiltse of the Giants is going to try and pitch the moist ball this summer. Hooks has tried it in practice and it worked well. Hughey Jennings says he wouldn't part with Walter Pipp for $25,000. Hughey thinks he is one of the finest prospects he ever saw. The pen is mightier than the sword, said the ball player, as he attached his signature to one of those Fed contracts. Manager McGraw's secretary's name is Sparrow. There may be something behind the name at that. Charley Herzog is showing his players a few pointers in base running. Charles is some runner. Art Gregg, who formerly played for the Cleveland Naps, is a Brooklyn Fed. It is likely that Rube Marquard will again be the Giants' star southpaw.

RICH HISTORIC ORAMA "Mission Play" of Franciscan Friars of the West. Presented in Theater Built in Immediate Vicinity of San Gabriel Mission in California, Which Was Founded in 1771. The Franciscan Friars, who joyfully undertook the great and glorious, though highly dangerous, task of Christianizing and thus civilizing California, led a life rigorous in the extreme, quite devoid of carnal desires for self-indulgence or gain of any sort for themselves. They had very few comforts and their privations were oftimes tragic. Yet the stage on which their lives were set supplies such a wealth of color, action and grandeur that it yields rich and ample material for a spectacular, historic drama, such as the first American production of this character ever successfully offered to the public—"The Mission Play." To John Steven McGroarty, already prominent in literary circles in California as one of the foremost historians, as well as a talented poet, belongs the honor of this brilliant triumph. Mr. McGroarty has, with consummate art, depicted the various types in the lives of those beloved and loving fathers, of their many responsibilities, emergencies and difficulties, as well as the various roles they benignly smiled. The incidents of the play are entirely true to historical facts. This project was accompanied by the appropriate idea of building for the play a theater on mission soil, in the immediate vicinity of San Gabriel mission, which was founded in 1771 under the direction of and visited very many times by the saintly Father Junipero Serra. Though now scarred and worn, it has escaped destruction. The ground on which the playhouse stands is historic, having been given by the parish for the purpose. On this spot the Indian neophyte, under the direction of the padres, made the stone and brick with which they built San Gabriel mission. Two gigantic pepper trees, planted by Father Junipero himself, during the last years of his life, grace the theater grounds. Most of the stage properties and many of the costumes are built in an acoustic Italianic Californians. Every performer in the cast of 300 is a native of California, and so great is their pride in the play that many are serving without pay. Thus we have here a combination of perfect conditions for a truly great pageant—historic ground and appointments, also community enthusiasm. The curtain is withdrawn, revealing picturesque San Diego bay, the "Harbor of the Sun," with its great purple promontory of Point Loma on the right and moored in the clear waters of the bay the quant Spanish ship San Carlos, which brought to this land part of the first expedition to colonize upper or Alta California that had ever been attempted. On the stage are visible some of the tule huts erected by the company. In the foreground three Catalonian soldiers and their corporal are on guard, discussing the situation. The crew of the "Fregret having come to California and deplore the sickness and suffering in the camp. The California Indians they pronounce to be quite hopeless, as being too dirty, too degraded and too bestial to be attracted to baptism by even the loving kindness of Father Junipero, whom, no matter what they may say of any one else, they greatly revere. Progressive Interrogation. A certain young mother had one pronounced weakness, and that was for millinery. Hats on shelves, hats in boxes, hats everywhere—and weighty affairs had been known to hang in the balance while a decision was being made from among the distracting collection. One morning she was dressing for the street, and our four-year-old son was joked about her and at the same time seeking to shake his thirsty mind. "Of course, dear." "Mama, what you go to heaven when she do?" "I hope so, dear." A moment given over to silence, then another question fell: "Then, mamma, when you go to heaven, will you meet George Washington?" "Yes, trifle—I suppose so." Her tone was trifle abstracted. "Then, mamma," and the voice was hushed with the import of its question, "what hat'll you wear?" Looking for Quail The tourist who was anxious for game entered a western Texas hotel, paused and looked around. Then he quietly approached the desk and addressed the proprietor: "Any quail about this neighborhood?" "Quail!" school the proprietor, with an indulgent smile. "They have become so numerous around here that a nuisance. The cook complains that she can't throw a piece of toast out of the kitchen window but four or five fat qualis fight to see which one shall get it."-Lippincott's. Real Work Means Production Real work consists of producing something. No matter what it is, whether splitting fence posts or rolling barrels from the point where they are not wanted to the point where they are, its qualification lies in the fact that something is done for which mankind will be the better.

When a man gets his first full dress suit he is so proud of it that he wants to keep it on all day. —Cincinnati En- IOWA STATE BYSTANDER ON PLEASURE BENT Mr. and Mrs. Simmp Had Most Pleasant Afternoon, if Mrs. Simmp Tells it. "Albert Horatio," began Mr. Slimp, tugging at his lapels, "what do you want to do this afternoon?" It was a beautiful Sunday and Mr. Slimp glanced out over the green lawn reflectively. "Why, sleep, m'dear," replied Mr. Slimp. His shrill voice was incongruous in a man as huge as he and sometimes it irritated Mrs. Slimp. "Sleep! eat! eat! sleep! What is life to you?" "Troublesome, m'dear," regretted Mr. Slimp. He and she! ad been married 25 years ago, but she was still "m'dear" to him. "How would it do to take a long trip down the island in the car?" suggested Mrs. Slimp, dimpling ceyl. "Yes, m'dear," said Mr. Slimp. So they ordered the car and tumbled into it. Mr. Slimp joined her in the tonneau. "He us uso, Alfred," protested Mrs. Slimp. The chauffeur was dismissed. Mr. Slimp clambered into the driver's seat, pressed the starting button and whirled away. He licited a nine "Put that out, Alfred," she commanded. He didn't hear her. Soon they were racing along the beach outside the city limits. "I say, Alfred, put out that pipe," she repeated. "It gets into my eyes." Mr. Slimp heard him and brought the pipe to a standstill. "Come, sit in the front seat," he requested. "No," she demurred. "Some one might see me." "What of it?" he shrieked. "Only servant girls ride in the front seat," she explained. "I have a position to maintain, remember." "They might think I was the chaufeur," reflected Mr. Slimmp. bitterly. "Then, let me mourn, m'dear; you won't permit it in the house and this is one of my rare chances to enjoy a pipe." "I will suffocate," she predicted. He put it out. "Let's turn back, m'dear." "O, no, Alfred; let's get out in the open, far from the madding crowd, where the sunshine shines happily on the breast of the dancing gulf and the zephyr—" Mr. Slimmp grunted. He started the car. He did his part, but the car didn't start. "We have a panne, m'dear," observed Mr. Slimmp. "In the kitchen," replied Mrs. Slimmp, absently, and then she grew angry. "What are you talking about?" "The car won't go," explained Mr. Slimmp. "Why?" she asked. He explained to her at great length. She knew he would mess things up. What was he going to do about it? He climbed out, crawled under, bent over, peered, glared, swallowed strange sounds and discovered the trouble. "We have no gasoline," he imented. "What of it?" asked Mrs. Simmp. Mr. Simmp walked away and whispered it to his coat sleeve. He returned. "We'll have to walk." "I won't," she declared flatly. "You're a brute, and I knew it when I married you, but I thought (like a fool) that I could tame you." But she got out and together they plunged through the sand toward Galveston and home, miles away. Mrs. Simmp has No. 2 shoes, well curvatures and No. 2 shoes with high heels. Mr. Simmp has big feet and wears big shoes and makes no bones about it. After 20 minutes Mrs. Simmp forgot her anger and began to enjoy the exercise. When they got home Mrs. Simpson executed a pass seal. "O, I'm so glad you enjoyed your outing. Aren't you glad you didn't stay at home and sleep, poor dear!" With palpating gait in one foot and excruciating corns on the other, "poor dear" eyed her fahily. "See if you can get the doctor on the phone. This fool exchange girl says she can't understand me."-Galveston News. In Warning. As these death-defying phrases are being propelled to press, word comes to us that the demand for colored wigs will soon be abundant and that the two favored fashion tints will be purple and green. Less than two years ago the most eager outdoor sport among a good many Indians was to rush upon their prey, first tomahawk their victims and then tear their reeking scalps loose with savage yells of exultation. We have never tomahawked or scaled a woman in our life, as far as we can remember, but if we ever meet a dame attached to a purple or green wig and there is a tomahawk, hatchet, ax, baseball or brick in quick reach, the second death-defying light will not be responsible for what may happen. We have an iron will, one that is under wonderful control, but after all there are certain limits—Collier's. Losing a Mark Bob—Ain't it awful that Dick is going to get married? Jack—Why, about it?

Servant—Why have you put colored water with a strong taste of mint into your brandy, sir? Such luck of condidence affords me, *Pole Mole*. TO REMEMBER WHEN IRONING Matteres of Consequence If One Would Do Good Work and Preserve the Clothes Handled. First of all the irons must be immaculately clean and suited to the article to be ironed. Irons come now in all sizes, for all purposes. Heat the irons slowly, but have them hot before starting, even if they must be cooled later. Try them on a soft clean cloth. The ironing sheet also must be clean. For fine lingerie cover the ordinary ironing sheet with thin material; for embroidery and lace use a Turkish towel, plined tightly around the board. To stiff articles slightly without starch rub them on the wrong side with warm water and borax. To clean the irons if starch sticks rub them over fine emery paper, then with a little paraffin wrapped in muslin. If it is too hot, you scrub it with hot water and soap, then rub it very lightly with lard. Wipe it carefully with absorbent cotton to remove all traces of the lard. Never allow irons to get red hot, as it takes the temper out. Do not put a hot iron in water to cool it; stand it on one side for a few minutes. It is unwise to put irons directly over the gas flame, as it spoils the iron. In the absence of a special device for holding them use an asbestos mat. When possible colored goods should be ironed on the wrong side, then pressed on the right. This brings out the coloring. All-wool underwear ought not to be ironed, as ironing causes it to shrink. HASH MADE WITH SALT FISH Something of a Novelty, and One of the Best Books for a Little Length Cover one-half pound of salt fish with cold water, bring to a boil and drain. Do this three times. Cover again with cold water and boil until very tender. Pare six good stirred potatoes and boil until soft. Drain. Add to the fish and chop together, not too fine. While the fish and potatoes are cooking cut two or three slices of fat pork. Put in a fry pan, cover the pork with cold water, bring to a scald and drain. Return to the pan and fry until a nice brown. This makes the pork crisp. Take the pork from the pan and put it where it will keep hot. Now put the chopped fish and potatoes into the pork fat and return to the fire. Cook until well blended with the fat, stirring lightly. When well heated set back into cook slowly, running a knife around the sides and under the cake, which must be patted out nice and smooth and as light as possible. When it is nice rich brown on the under side fold it over, exactly like an omelet, and serve on a hot platter. Garnish with the fried pork cut in small strips. This is fine and is rich and hearty enough with a vegetable of some kind and a dessert for dinner. Left-Ovar Mutton Cut some rather thick slices from the remains of a leg of mutton, remove the fat and skin and trim them so that they are the same size. About an hour before they are required place them in a deep dish with a few slices of onion between the pieces of meat. Sprinkle the mixture over them and cover with oil and vinegar mixed together in the proportion of three tablepoonfuls of oil to one of vinegar. Season a small quantity of fine white breadcrumbs with celerine and pepper, and mix together with onion and minced parsley. Wipe the slices of meat when they are taken from the pickle, dip them into beaten egg and cover them with the mixture. Slowly allow the crumbs to harden on the slices of meat for ten or fifteen minutes and fry quickly in plenty of boiling fat. Drain and serve with spinach or cabbage and a piquant sauce. Braised Veal. Take a piece of shoulder weighing five pounds. Have bone removed and tie up meat to make it firm. Put piece of butter size of half an egg, together with a few shavings of onion, into a kettle and let get hot. Salt and pepper the veal and put into kettle, cover tightly and put over a medium fire until meat is brown on both sides, turning it occasionally. Then set kettle on back of stove where it will smother slowly. Put meat in a pan and before setting meat on back of stove see if the juice of the meat, together with the butter, makes gravy enough, and if not, add a little hot water. When gravy is cold it will be like jelly. Serve gravy hot with hot meat or cold with cold meat. Cabbage Salad. Chop cabbage fine. Salad dressings, put together in order given. One cupful sugar, one teaspoonful mustard; mix cupful sugar, one teaspoonful mustard; mix thoroughly; add small pieces of butter; cream as for cake; one egg beaten, one half scant cupful milk or cream; beaten, lastly one half scant cupful vinaigrette. This salad dressing can be made in two minutes, as it needs no cooking, and will keep as long as you wish. Fine on lettuce. Linoleum Polish. Odds and ends of candles will make an inexpensive polish for lincoleum. Use about equal parts of candle scraps and common turpentine. Place in a jar and stand where it is warm, until the grease is quite melted, then allow to cool, where it will be soft and creamy. Use with a soft cloth and polish with a second soft cloth. A little of the grease will go a long way. Veal Scallop. Chop cold roast yeast very fine, put a layer in the bottom of a pudding dish, season with salt and pepper, cover with a layer of rolled crackers and bits of butter; wet well with milk and continue; pour into a pan over broth and milk; invert a pan over it so as to retain steam and bake half hour. Russia Introduces More Merciful Penal System. Criminals Will No Longer Be Sent to Colony but Will Be Imprisoned Near Scene of Their Crime and Usefully Employed. The world moves in Russia, perhaps not at as rapid a gait as in more favored lands, but still it moves. Russia may not be gaining the civic-political level of other great European nations by "giantic strides", but it is taking long steps forward. Recently its government has instituted prison reforms, which, when in full operation, will deprive the term "exiled to Siberia" of its currency. When Russia has completed the great system of modern, up-to-date prisons which it is now planning, criminals will no longer be sent to Siberia. They will be imprisoned near the scene of their crime and will be usefully employed either at some trade or calling on public works while serving their sentences. In a word, their condition will be similar to that of convicts in most of the United States, which has been chosen as Russia's model, and as Britain more than half a century ago gave up dumping integra- tions into Australia, so Russia in 1913 determined not to penalize Siberia with swarms of murderers, robbers and the small fry of lawlessness. In coming to the conclusion that "Criminal exile" to Siberia no longer pays Russia has been assisted by the criminal exiles themselves. The Russian criminal code is the reverse of Draconic. Only treason felony is punishable with death. For murder and other felonies "criminal exile" to Siberia has been the commonest form of punishment. The theory of the law has been "criminal exile" in Siberia had expired he would settle down on the tract of land awarded him. Russia dreamed that the convicts in Siberia would follow the example of those sent to Australia, and become in time a thriving population. The practice was different. The convicts took the land and then took "French leave." The return to Russia was not difficult, and in so vast an area it was easy for the refugees to secure concealment and sympathy. Russia never escaped from "criminal exile," thereby refusing to take a leaf from the British book. The failure of the Russian experiment has been complete. Siberia has made great progress, but not by the "criminal exile" system. The "political exiles," men and women of superior character and ability, have developed Siberia to the point of prosperity it has attained. They would have accomplished much more had there been no "criminal exiles" to bother them by nature. The government has now today "exile to Siberia" is no longer inflicted on political offenders. Those who think aloud thoughts the government condemns are sent to undergoing cooling incarceration in Russia. The carr's government still possesses a power similar to that the Bourbons in old times exercised by "letters de cachet." Its "executive decree" is sufficient to consign a political offender to prison, without trial and without appeal. So long as this relic of barbarian survives the Russian code of law, the Russian people of European nations, but the progress of prison reform gives ground for hope for progress in individual freedom. The abolition of "criminal exile" to Siberia ought to send more sunshine into the lives of the Siberians. Siberia, though but sparsely populated for its area, is by no means "a great lone land." It has a population of between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000, and at least one million mark, with others pressing it close. The schoolmaster if not exactly abroad in Russia, is becoming active. There are in the public schools of Siberia not far from 300,000 children, almost as many as are found in the schools of Russian Poland. Railroads have opened up Siberia, its products reach European marts, notably its butter, which commands ready sale. Altogether there a boom on the railroad, which can be accelerated by the removal of the stigma which has given a region not unfair in itself a black mark in the political geography of the world.

Four Forms of Marriage in a World Where Bachelors and Spinners Are Very Rare Qualities—Some Facts From Scientists. Surprising though the statement may seem, it is a fact borne out by the careful study of scientists, that practically every form of marriage contract known to men, from free love to the soul mate theory, can be found in the animal world, says London Tit-Bits. Male animals even have their bachelor clubs, and that wonderful naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton, has related how little societies of animals are established among deer and antelope. These societies usually consist of three or four young bucks who range and feed together in perfect friendship. They are quite different from the other animals, still some lady intrudes. But once a joe does join the herd, goodly to peace. The brothers fight among themselves, while the doe looks on and enjoys the sport, until one of them drives off the others and goes away with her. There are four distinct forms of marriage among nonogamous animals. The first closely resembles the trial marriage, and is the type represented by the mouse. The male selects a mate, and is faithful to her as long as she pleases him, and when she no longer charms, he promptly divorces her and finds another mate. The second type of animal marriage is that which lasts during the breeding season only. Some animals seek their mates again next season, but among rats, rabbits and squirrels the separation is permanent, although amongfoxes, coyotes and smaller animals, the father, who presumably uses the worries of domestic life, usually have been rescued, and then returns. The third type of animal marriage is that common among wild geese, pigeons and possibly owls. The union lasts through life, and if one of the pair dies the other never sees a second mate, but mourns disconsolately until death. The fourth type of marriage is the nearest approach to the ideal married life, and, curiously enough, is found most commonly among wolves. Wolves marry for life, and only the death of one leaves the other free to marry again. Furthermore, there is even a genuine display of chivalry and affection between such animals. It is recorded that two wolves in the London zoo were very jealous of each other, and frequently quarreled. One day, during an unusually furious dispute the male approached the female curiously as if to bite her, but just as he reached her he stopped as if held back by something within him. The female then approached timidly, licked his face, and domestic happiness was once more restored. Still Believe In Witchcraft. Still Believe in Witchercraft. Witchercraft and sorcery are abroad again in the old-world Franciae, even in the north. They stead harbor still so many medieval survivals. A musician named Scherbel, of the little village of Posseck, Upper Franciae, recently demanded judicial protection against his fellow-villagers, who accused him of being a master of witchcraft, in league with the powers of darkness, and finally caused him to be feared and boycotted throughout the district. Baillif Elmer was put in the dock, and was obliged to admit that when Scherbel touched his arm he promptly spat and bade "the old witch master" keep clear of him. At a meeting in the village inn Elmer had told the villagers that Scherbel had bewitched him with hens so that they would not lay eggs. And how Scherber's wife "bewitched" the butter so that it went sour. The whole village kept out of Scherbel's way to avoid the "evil eye." Scherbel was impossible if this continued. The court finished Elmer £5, and informed the villagers of Posseck that they were "bigger fools than their own cattle." Wallpaper Centuries Old. The use of wallpaper apparently commenced in the sixteenth century, for a piece of wallpaper of the Tudor period, which has been acquired by the Victoria and Albert museum, London, England, is supposed to be the earliest in existences. A newspaper representative was informed at the museum that in order to secure a wallpaper design taken with it, and several men were needed to move the exhibit. Evidently a black design was printed from a woodcut on a white surface, for there is no rich coloring. 'Honl soi qui mal y pense' appears in the center of the design, with a black and white border-pattern. The Chinese have used wallpapers for centuries, but the modern system of paper-hanging only dates to the beginning of the nineteenth century — after the paper-making machine was brought into practical use. Badlum In Jamaica A cablegram from Kingston to the London Times reports that an English expert claims after prolonged prospecting to have discovered an extensive radium deposit on a Jamaican mountain.

"No," replied the Texas ranger. "But we knew what was going to happen before we started." Naturally Fortified. "I am afraid that man is going to say something he will be sorry for."

The hostess after business served a nice lunch to the ladies. Visitors Mesdames Nellie Estes, Walter Bennings and Burton Some strangers in our town the past week. "The laborer is worth his hire" that is if he is a good laborer. We all are anxious to save money and get the best we can for our expenditure, but it is a better plan to look into the worth of the article than to stand on the price. Every day I see a man selling diamonds for a quarter. I do not know much about diamonds, but I do not see the jewelry stores selling them so cheap. If stand on the price. Every day I see a man selling diamonds for a quarter. I do not know much about diamonds, but I do not see the jewelry stores selling them so cheap. If I want anything I want the best I can get for the money; not the most necessarily, but the best. When you go into a store and pay your money for an article the supposition is that you are getting your money's worth. If the man gives you as much of something else as you bought you feel that he is trying to even up the transaction. The best you can buy, in the long run is the cheapest. This does not mean that we are to be extravagant. One good pair of shoes will outwear two pairs for the same price. There is more satisfaction in a good meal than there is in the equivalent amount of sandwiches. You get more for your money but it is not as good. One good suit for twenty dollars will last longer and look better than three for eight dollars apiece. So it is with service. An express wagon will take you home for a quarter, but a man would rather walk, if he has not cab fare. You can hear a great deal of religious talk on the street any night for nothing but people would rather go to church and pay a quarter, to look at a good minister, who is well fed and prepared to talk than to follow up a bunch of people who look ill-kemp and hungry. A fellow feels like paying a lawyer when they go to his office, but if they see him on the street they consider the advice conversation. The same is true of doctors and ministers. No one offers the minister a quarter on the street, but at church they feel that it is worth money to have him talk to them about their welfare. A good minister wants a living wage and something for himself and family when he is too old to minister unto us, if he is any good he deserves all he gets and more. A good lawyer will either take your case for nothing or a fat fee. The better the lawyer the more he charges. We poor doctor have to take what we can get from people who want us in a hurry and pay when they please. But whether it be shoes, suits, food, spiritual, medical, or legal advice we pay for, the best costs more than the inferior, because it costs more to produce a good article or a qualified man. A well fed worker will do more than one who is disgruntled. A good man is not afraid to charge a good price for his service. Which reminds me of a man who was promised all he was worth for a job he said; "I refuse to work for that price." When the man offers you something just as good only cheaper, do not take it for it cost just as much to make it just as good and he cannot afford to sell it cheaper if it is as good. The cheap places are not the crowded ones. Good workmen do not need to cut the price because they are worthy of the hire. IOWA CITY NOTES. (Special to Bystander.)
