Poor emptv rose, poor lark that never

Dead unfulfilled!

Spirit of Revolt.
It Ended In Content for Two Discon
tented Sisters.
By SUSAN BROWN ROBBINS.
Myra counted the little pile or bills
the second time, tben she rolled them
tip and put them back in the tin baking-powder
box.
"A hundred and fifty-four dollars,"
the said, as she put the cover on. She
rested her elbows and looked wearily
out of the window. "You might go
this afternoon and put it in the bank?"
Ruth, her younger sister, sat In the
rocking chair beside the stove. Al
though the October sun shone in at
the west windows, there was a cold
wind blowing, and the warmth of the
fire was very comforting.
Suddenly Ruth spoke passionately.
I'm tired of being poor, and I'm sick
to death of the way we live."
"So am I," said Myra, without chang
ing her position or her expression.
"We never go anywhere, nor see
anything, nor hear anything."
"Or know anything," Myra said
dully.
"It's all very well in the summer,"
said Ruth. "It's fun to see things
growing the flowers and vegetables
and to have folks come and buy
them. We work hard, but that's kind
of fun, too, while It laBts. But we don't
have any other kind of fun, and I'm
tired of it."
"So am I," Myra repeated.
"When the fall comes we count up
our summer's savings and put them
In the bank, and that's the end of
everything till the next spring.
Through the winter we Just stagnate."
"Vegetate," said Myra.
"If only we could hibernate It
would be some satisfaction, but we
can't," and Ruth fell silent again,
brooding discontent and rebellion in
her eyes. Presently she spoke again.
"Lots and lots of folks who don't
work half as hard as we do have
everything. They don't earn it,
and we do. We work hard enough to
have everything we want, and I say
we are fools if we don't take what we
want. It's our right. I don't care
what folks say. We've tiled being
poor and honest long enough and
nave seen the folly of it. Let's try
the other way for a while."
Myra turned in her chair and look
ed at her sister. "But how?" she
asked.
Ruth's eyes flashed and she spoke
Tehemently. "Sell the farm and then
go to the city and hire a big house
and furnish It elegantly; entertain,
go to concerts, opera, theatre, lec
tures, and enjoy ourselves generally."
"How could we pay for It?"
Ruth laughed recklessly. Don't
pay for It," she said. "Pay for thea
tre tickets and things like that, but
Hot for the necessaries of life house
rent, food, fuel, lighting. I'm tired
to death of paying for the necessaries
of lire."
"So am I," said Myra.
"Let's do it, then."
But Myra was more cautious. "We
might want to come back to the farm;'
she said. 'Let's take this money and
go to the xity and stay as long as we
can, and then come back home."
That's so," agreed Ruth, "let's.
Won't It be fun to buy house furnish
ings on installments?"
"And owe the grocer," said Myra.
"And the coal man." said Ruth.
"And we won't do a stroke of work
from morning till night
"No, we won't."
Both fell silent, making plans. Their
faces were lighted up by new hope,
and they smiled at each other hap
pily. "I don't see why we can't go by the
first of November all the fall work
Is done," said Myra. Then a sudden
Bhade of consternation crossed her
face. "But what Bhall we do with the
house and the cow and the horse r
"Oh, dear! I had not thought of
that." They looked at each other in
alarm for some minutes.
"Oh, I have it!" cried Ruth. She
jumped up and walked excitedly about
the room. "Old Mr. and Mrs. Kelsey
would be tickled to death to come here
and keep house for us. You know
they are perfectly miserable at the
poor-farm."
"Yes, that's so, and we've got stock
iid up with provisions and vegetables,
, jo It wouldn't cost them hardly any
' thing to live."
"Why, they'd sell milk at the door,
as we do, and that would almost keep
them supplied with things they'd have
to buy, that and the eggs."
"So it would."
A little later the sinters had gone
to the city, and the old couple from
the poor-farm were comfortably set
tled, perfectly happy In their new
Independence and quiet solitude.
As for Ruth and Myra, the large
house of their dreams had been re
duced to three pleasant rooms and a
tiny pantry.
"It's really all we need," sold Myra.
"Yes," acquiesced Ruth, "We can't
afford to keep servants, and we don't
want any more rooms to care for."
"And I think we'd better pay one
month's rent in ndvance," said Myra.
"We won't have to worry about that
item, then."
"No," said Ruth, craftily, "and It
will be easier to get out of paying the
next month's rent."
They furnished their rooms daintily
and simply and made their first pay
ment on the things. The rooms were
not heated, but they had a large kitch
en range which warmed them suffi
ciently with the aid of a little oil heat
er in extreme weather. There being
a family in the tenement below, the
floors were not cold.
And now they began to take eomfort
Every evening saw them at a concert,
a lecture or the theatre. The enter
taining had not begun as yet. Ruth
had bought a chafing dish in anticipa
tion of the little parties she would
give, 'but she had not used it except
to practice upon. Somehow they did
not seem to find congenial friends,
as they had expected.
The first month passed thus. When
the second had opened, with the funds
in tho baking-powder box alarmingly
low, the sisters began to be a trifle ap
prehensive. They took to going out
separately In the daytime.
One day Ruth came bounding up the
stairs and burst into the kitchen, her
face wreathed in smiles. Myra stood
there smiling also, and her face very
red from working over the hot stove.
"I've got work," said Ruth Joyous
ly. "So have I," said Myra.
"I'm going to work in a flower store.
I showed the man what I could do
this afternoon, and he praised my work
and told me to come tomorrow for
a steady job."
"And I'm going to cook for a wom
an's exchange," said Myra. "I carried
some things there day before yester
day, and they sent me an order today,
and they think 1 11 have all the work
I want to do."
. After this the sisters went out eve
nings less than they had done. They
worked steadily and were contented.
Ruth made some friends at the flower
store, and the chafing dish came into
use at last.
As they grew more accustomed to
their work they fell Into the way of
going to a play in the middle of the
week, a concert Saturday night and
to church on Sunday. The last of
February came, and for some little
time the sisters had been subject to
attacks of melancholy. One evening
they sat together resting after a hard
day's work. Ruth was the first to
speak. "I don't know what's the mat
ter with you, but I am as homesick as
death."
"So am I," said Myra.
"I want to get back to the farm."
"So do I."
"I don't think much of this way of
living. I'd rather be poor but honest."
"I know I would," said Myra. Then,
with unusual vehemence, "I hate
debt."
"So do I," said Ruth. "And Install
ments aren't the least bit of fun."
"No, they are not."
"I wonder how much we owe? Let's
reckon it up and know the worst. It's
hung over me like a nightmare ail
winter."
"It has over me, too. If I hadn't
been so busy I'd have gone crazy.
It's awful."
"I know it," said Ruth. "It was
lucky we could get work. But I want
to get back home. Poverty and hon
esty for me, every time."
"My sentiments, too," said Myra.
"Well, let's take the fatal plunge.
How much do we owe? Will we have
to mortgage the farm to pay it?"
"I don't know. I guess not The
furniture is what worries me most,"
and Myra's brow became furrowed .
with lines of care.
"Oh, that's all right," said Ruth
easily. I made the' last payment on
that two weeks ago."
"You " Myra gasped.
"Why, you see, the things are pret
ty, and I thought they'd come In
handy at the farm we need new fur
niture there and- so I went and made
a payment every week, after I got
work. That hasn't troubled me at all, .
but I have lain awake nights worry
ing about the groceries."
"Why," said Myra, "ever since I be
gan to cook for the exchange I have
paid for all the groceries and paid up
the back bill, too. It doesn't cost us
much to live, you know. And I've
paid for the coal and the kerosene be
sides." Why why, tben we don't owe any
thing!" Ruth cried incredulously, "for
we've paid the house rent together.
"And we've had all our worry for
nothing."
"I wish I'd told you." .
"I wish I'd told you."
There was a little silence.
Just the same, I want to get back
home," said Myra.
"So do I. And we'd better, too, for
it's most time to be thinking about
putting in our sweet peas."
"And the green peas, too."
Two weeks later they were on the
train going home.
"After all," said Ruth reminlscent
ly, "It was considerable fun."
"Yes," said Myra, "but another time
I'd go in for honesty and paying out
bills from the start"
"Yea, so would L"
"I suppose we could get back our
old work any time."
"I'm euro of it."
"Didn't we go to Iota of plays ano

"Yes, and we didn't stagnate, did

"Not exactly."
"Let's try It again next winter."
"Let's."
8EN8E OF 8IGHT IN ANT8.
Experiments Indicating That They
Don't Depend on Smell.
Tho old theory that ants could not
see and were guided entirely by sense
of smell has been demolished by a se
ries of experiments reported In the
Revere Sclentiflque. A little platform
of cardboard was set up near one of
their nests with inclined plane lead
ing conveniently down to the en
trance. Then a number of the Insects
and a quantity of their eggs were
placed upon the platform.
For a few minutes the ants se?med
greatly perturbed, but they very s-n
found the Inclined plane and at once
started carrying the eggs down It to
the nest.
A second inclined plane was located
on the opposite side of the platform,
but they took no notice of it. The ex
perimenters then twisted the platform
around so that the second plane point
ed to the nest entrance.
Without hesitation tho ants ceased
using the old plane and took to the
new one, showing conclusively, it is
argued, that they were not following a
trail by scent, but were getting their
bearings by some other sense.
The next step was to mark some of
the ants with a view to seeing wheth
er each individual always used the
same path and the same entrance to
his nest. It was found that no such
thing was the case.
They all seemed to know all the en
trances and to have a sense of their
direction. They struck out new paths
for themselves and always reached
their d 'stination without fall. This
was regarded as establishing some
form of vision.
Finally, an electric light bulb was
set up near one entrance to the nest.
It seemed to have an immediate at
traction for the au'.t, as they unani
mously used the entrance on that side
coming to and going from the nest
Then it was changed over the other
side, causing great excitement appar
ly among the insects, which ended in
their changing over to the newly Il
luminated way.
Changes In the brilliancy of the
light seemed to have no perceptible
effect on the ants, but they never
failed to detect the change of direc
tion. All possible precautions were
taken to prevent the heat from the
lamp from reaching them, so that It
Is regarded as certain that they per
ceived the light
Bean Day and Sauerkraut Day.
Two very significant days are on
the calendars of central Iowa, and
the announcement each year of the
dates of "Bean Day" and "Sauerkraut
Day" is watched with interest by thou
sands of people who participate In
the festivities incident to these occa
sions. "Bean Day" came first this year,
falling on Aug. 14. In addition to the
piece de resistance on the program
the big dinner hosts of outdoor
amusements were offered.
"Sauerkraut Day" will be held later
than usual this year, the date named
being Sept 26. This is "the only
day of its kind In the world," and is
celebrated by the use of hundreds of
quarts of sauerkraut, served at tables
laid along the principal streets.
"Bean Day" Is supported by the citi
zens of Geneva In Franklin County,
and the residents of Ackley in Hardin
County are responsible for "Sauer
kraut Day." St. Paul Dispatch.
Lungs that Are Starved.
It Is a fact that most of us are vic
tims of our own lazy respiration and
deprive ourselves of oxygen that Is bo
necessary If we would keep our bodies
at their highest point of efficiency.
Oxygen is absolutely necessary to
the existence of animal life. Man gets
oxygen from air breathed Into his
lungs.
Besides introducing oxygen into the
blood, the lungs act as excretory or
gans, removing undesirable elements
from the system at each expiration.
In ordinary or unconscious breath
ing, only ten to thirteen percent of
the air In the lungs Is changed at
each breath, leaving eighty to ninety
percent of the lung capacity filled
with stale air.
Forced or conscious breathing of
pure air ventilates the lungs, driv
ing out the eighty to ninety percent
of the stationary or stale air.
All bed room windows and doors
should be wide open during sleep,
thus connecting the lungs directly
with pure air of the outside world.
Delineator.
The Smelts Were Biting.
John Ouiacv Adams of Massachu
setts, third of that name, who died
fthniit ten years ago. was very fond
of fishing, and not especially fond of
his legal profession. ..
One day, the story runs, a case In
which he was counsel was down for
trial In a Massachusetts court Mr.
Adams did not make his appearance,
but sent a letter to the Judge.
That worthy gentleman read it and
then postponed the case with the an
nouncement:
"Mr. Adams is detained on import
ant business."
it was afterward learned by a col
league of Adams that the letter read
as follows:

KELLOGG'S FIRST CA8E.
Attorney Began Practice on a Suit
for Trespass by a Cow.
Frank B. Kellogg, who is pounding
away daily at the Standard Oil Co.
In the United States Court, has met
with a warm and pleasant reception
at the hands of the lawyers of New
York. Even the fighters who are op
posing Mr. Kellogg inch by inch in
the courtroom recognize him as a
good man and a fair fighter after the
adjournment for the day.
Mr. Kellogg was born in Potsdam,
N. Y., 60 years ago, and after admis
sion to the bar decided to go west
and grow up with the country. He
found a small town In Minnesota
named Rochester that had no lawyer
and apparently needed one, and there
he hung out his small and modest
shingle. His first case was one of
cow trespass, and bo well did he con
duct it that the defendant, who lost,
engaged Mr. Kellogg for a case of
his own before leaving the court
room.
Twenty years ago Mr. Kellogg ex
changed his Rochester shingle for a
big gilt sign in the more promising
city of St Paul.
From cows to corporations was a
step that came in the practice of
years, and so well did the newer
practice pay "that Mr. Kellogg forsook
the other lines and became a spe
cialty lawyer.
Preventing Dusty Roads.
Consul T. H. Norton, writing from
Chemnitz, says that a Saxon firm has
Introduced a new road-binding com
position called "Apokonin," which
has been tried on the macadamized
streets with much success. It is a
mixture of the heavier residual oils
obtained in the distillation of coal
tar with high boiling hydrocarbons.
The method of mixing apparently in
volves a certain degree of chemical
combination, in which phenol and
similar constituents play a role. The
manufactured material is prepared
for use by heating in iron caldrons,
identical with those used for asphalt,
to temperatures ranging from 212 de
grees to 248 degrees F. It is then
sprayed evenly over the surface of a
roadway with a special form of ap

"BOO-DiOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.
A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be
tween Collier's Weekly and the Re
ligious Press of the Country and oth
ers, including ourselves. Also re
garding suits for libel brought by
Collier's against us for commenting
upon its methods.
These are his sentiments, with
some very emphatic words left out
"The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage In
showing up Collier's Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to
use the Inclosed article on the "Boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Man's"
successor?"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally run against a solid
hickory "Post" and been damaged In
Its own estimation to the tune of
$760,000.00."
"Here is a publication which has,
In utmost disregard of the facts,
spread broadcast damaging state
ments about the Religious Press and
others and has suffered those false
statements to go uncontradicted, un
til, not satisfied after finding the Re
ligious Press too quiet, and peaceful,
to resent the insults, it makes the
mlBtake of wandering into a fresh
field and butts Its rattled head
against this Post and all the World
laughs. Even Christians smile, as
the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back a dose of its own medicine."
"It is a mistake to say all the
World laughs. No cheery laugh
comes from Collier's, but It cries and
boo hoos like a spanked baby and
wants $750,000.00 to soothe its ten
der, lacerated feelings." '
"Thank Heaven It has at last
struck a man with "back bone"
enough to call a spade a "spade" and
who believes in telling the whole
truth without fear or favor."
Perhaps Collier's with Its "utmost
disregard for the facts," may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file In our office and is only one of
a mass of letters and other data,
newspaper comments, etc., denounc
ing the "yellow" methods of Collier's.
This volume is so large that a man
could not well go thru It under half
a day's steady work. The letters
come from various parts of America.
Usually a private controversy Is

Is a public controversy.
Collier's has been using the "yel

itself, but, jumping in the air, crack

at me" wouldn't suffice, so it started
out on a "Holler Than Thou" attack
on the Religious Press and on medi
cines. We leavo it to the public now, as
we did when we first resented Col
lier's attacks, to say whether, In a
craving for sensation and circulation,
Its attacks do not amount to a sys

likewise leave it to the public to say
whether Collier's, by its own policy
and methods, has not made Itself
Military training In Sohooia.
Military training for boys in our
public schools should Interest not only
our toremoet educators, but all who
have the welfare of the Republlo at
heart. The standing army of the
United States is so vastly dispropor
tionate to its size, its population and
Its Importance as a world power that
the nation's chief reliance in time of
war must ever be Its volunteer sol
diery. That the schoolboy of to-day
is the volunteer of to-morrow was
amply demonstrated during the war
with Spain, when splendid service
was rendered both as officers and in
the ranks, by men who had received
a knowledge of soldiering at some of
the many educational Institutions,
public and private, which Include
military training in their curriculum.
In these days military operations
are conducted with such celerity that
there is scarce time to whip an army
of raw recruits into shape to with
stand the trained and seasoned troops
of, say, an old world power. How
much better fitted to uphold the hon
or of the flag Is the man who has had
at least a partial military training
than he who comes fresh from the
farm or from civil life without such
knowledge however enthusiastic,
however patriotic he may be! And
that this training should be begun
when the mind is in Its most recept

Does Collier's expect to regain any
self-inflicted loss of prestige by dem
onstrating thru suits for damages,
that it can be more artful In evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of Its defama
tion, or does it hope by starting a
campaign of libel suits to silence the
popular Indignation, reproach and re
sentment which it has aroused
Collier's can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. It

No announcements during our en
tire business career were ever made
claiming "medicinal effects" for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal
effects are results obtained from the
use of medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and a little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten
percent of New Orleans molasses.
The art of preparing these simple ele
ments in a scientific manner to ob
tain the best food value and flavour,
required some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes
far enough out of Its way to attack
us because our advertising Is "med
ical," It simply offers a remarkable
exhibition of Ignorance, or worse.
We -do not claim physiological or
bodily results of favorable character
following the adoption of our sug
gestions regarding the discontinuance
of coffee and foods which may not be

We have no advice to offer the per
fectly healthful person. His or her
health is evidence in Itself that the
beverages and foods used exactly fit
that person. Therefore, why change?
But to the man or woman who Is
ailing, we have something to say as
a result of an unusually wide experi
ence In food and the result of proper
feeding.
In the palpably Ignorant attack on
us in Collier's, appeared this state
ment, "One widely circulated para

Victims of Opium.
Dr. Jennselme, one of the profes
sors at the Paris Faculty of Medi
cine, states that the opium habit Is -much
more common among French
navy officers than Is generally sup
posed, and he thinks it quite pos
sible that the prevalence of this
curse may explain the numerous dis
asters which have overtaken the
French navy of late. Dr. Jeanselme
sets the number of opium smokers
in the colonial infantry regiments at
15 per cent, In the foreign legion at
20 per cent and among Europeans In
native regiments at 25 per cent. He
says that opulra dens abound at Tou
