Dakota County Herald DAKOTA CITY. NEB. John H. Roam, Publisher The world is sane enough; it's the Inhabitants who are silly. Wako up, Blr William S. Gilbert, aid give rut a suffragette comlo opera, Before automobiles were Invented. Irhat did people do who were la a lurry? A French aviator has won 15,000 by eroBgln the English Channel.

Yrt be fell on only a small part of Europe. A rhilailetphia man who wa going to commit suicide died of hwart d; use. He probably was s.-anxl to death. If all the men would quit voting for three or four years, and leave the mat ter wholly to the women, what would happen? Dr. Eliot prophesies the advent of a new religion, cased on the laws of na ture. We hope It will not be started ty anybody with long, white whiskers Don't have your large Intestine rut fut until you discover whether or not the microbes will not find some other corner In your anatomy for a summer renort. A New Jersey man has Invented a lawn mower that can be used as a music box when the grass Isn't being tut. He must be a pewlmtvt who has no desire to be happy at any time. A Kentucky Judge has sentenced three men to prison for Ufa and ten years extra. He probably desires to bead off any chance they might have to get out on account of good conduct. Prlnoe Miguel will give up pretend ing and go Into the business of spend ing the $1,000,000 which he will get from his American wife. One can hardly blame him for preferring the sew Job. Baron Takahlra insists that he is foing to return to the United States after his visit to Japan. The baron will be welcome, whether he come as an ambassador or to lecture at one of our colleges. A member of the Georgia Legisla ture has Introduced a bill which makes It a felony for a woman to ride astride In that State. He should go further and Introduce a bill making bow logs a misdemeanor. Prince Jaime, the new pretender to the Spanish throne, Is trying to rally ni rouowers Tor the purpose of mak- tag a supreme effort to put King Al- xonso out of business.

Tl 1 . wueu many examples have been noted and an average of human con duct has been ascertained, the fact re mains that man desires to be honora ble and Is as nearly so as he mav ! that the earth is good to be alive up on; that wealth will not often shove oy justice; that friends are generally true; that lovers are mostly devoted- and that there is evidence of greater Happiness beyond. And even when a weight of testimony collects to confute all these things, we are better off if we still strive to believe that they are true. The popularity of what Is called "practical" education has had a recent triking testimonial from Missouri A farmer sent his son to the State agrl- cultural college. The boy's letters so Interested and excited his father that the old gentleman himself moved to the college town, entered two years later than his son, and caught up with and passed him in his studies. One Of the pleasantest parts of the story la the fact that the father took and vuujrcu mo liiimmuiu worn, was Olected to one of the fraternities, and altogether was one of the cnost popu lar uoys in college. There Is nothing new under the sun. The taxlcab, which Is probably sup posed by most to be a recent invention, was In use ages ago. Ancient docu ments plainly show, says Prof. E. H Parker in the Asiatic Quarterly lie. View, "that mechanical carta capable Of registering distances traveled, by counting and recording the revolutions of very large cart-wheels, connected ly cogs with other concentric or ec centric horizontal and perpendiculur wheels of proportionate diameters, have been well known to the Chinese for seventeen or eighteen hundred years." On the top of the cart was a figure of a man holding a drum, which he beat when one Ji, a third f a mile, was traveled. Some cars had In addition a figure holding a cymbal, which was struck when the drum hud been beaten ten times. Employes of the government depart ments in Washington have been much disturbed by a recent order of Secre tary Nagel of the Department of Com merce and Labor that the heads of bu reaus under hla Jurisdiction should prepare a report upon the efficiency of the clerks under them. The test U re ported to have disclosed the fact that one in ten of the clerka Is inefficient The proportion la surprisingly low. It 1 not generally known outside 1 Washington that a sort of efficiency record of the clerka has been kept foi years. Employes have been "marked" on their work, like schoolboys, but nel ther by them nor by their superiors has the record been taken very serl ously. Secretary Nagsl's order br'.ngi to the front one of the great problems of government administration every where a problem from which no na tion Is wholly free, and for which no perfect solution has been discovered It Is admitted by those most familiar with conditions in the United States that the work of the departments at Washington could be done by contract with private firms for less than one half what It now costs. The working hours of the clerks are from 9 o'clock In the morning until half past 4. Throughout the summer months Sat urday Is a half-holiday, and every clerk has thirty days of sick leave dur ing the rear, and thirty days' vaca tion, both with full PIT. Salaries raii from $750 to $:.500: but those who receive more than $1,200 are more than Ih.iKe who receive less than that mm. The average, although not large. 1s h'.sher than the payment for similar work In priva:e rn-.ployment.

It Is almost Inevitable that In time it will also Introduce the foreign practice of civil pensions. That ques tion, however, Is too large to discuss here. LIKE UNTO THE SAVAGE. Woman lletalns Her Barbarian In stincts to a Phenomenal Deajree. To the cold-blooded, analytical stu dent of anthropology, woman has re tained all her marked barbarian In stincts to a phenomenal degree, says a magazine writer. Her clothing, orna ments, love of ceramonlals, religious longings, her likes and dislikes, her Ir rational affection and hatreds are sur prisingly similar to those of her Jun gle sisters. The various degrees of so cial standing and the generations of civilization have had their Influence, but their natures, Instincts and that peculiar sense, which for want of a better name we call Intuition, are the same in every woman, whether she Is a laundress or poetess. For the Man from Bombay never wrote a truer line than this :"For the colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under their skins." Three-fourths of our International marriages are possible because of this peculiar savage Instinct. It la Idle to suppose that a woman would from pure reasoning decide to live her life ,n company with a mere shell of a man Bucn aB EuroPe na9 Doen nNng over " matrimonial canaiaaies. it is ner love oI ceremonials, of pomp and clr- cumstance, or gutter ana gin buu iur- pla ftnd tln8el that lure ner to the un" ion.

Witness the smugglings, plottlngs and heart burnings in En- BllHn society over the presentation of 80019 young lady at court. Every nerve and resource is strained tnat sne may stand for one brief moment as one of the central figures In a royal cere mony. Savage life Is full of formal observ ances, processions and pageants. Every act of the barbarian's existence is ruled by forms and customs. He prays In a certain way, he makes cabalistic signs when he eats or drinks, dlor. lis tening to the chants and howls of his priests and Is borne to 'the burial ground or the burning ghat on the river bank with the same ceremonies tna' have lasted for generations. BREADLESS PEOPLE. Substitutes I'aed In Tarts of Italy Austria and Koumanla. Baked loaves of bread are practical ly unknown In many parts of South Austria and Italy, as well as In the ag- rlcultural districts of Roumanla. the Baker's Weekly says. In the villages ot the Oberstelrmark, not many miles trom Vienna, bread is seldom seen, the staple food of the people being sterz. a k. t d of porridge made from ground beechnuts, which la taken at breakfast with broth or fried In lard and with milk again at supper. This sterz U also known as hetdon, and takes tin place of bread not only In Stelermark, but In Carynthla and In many parti of the Tyrol. In the north of Italy the peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a porridge made of boiled maize. The polenta, however, Is not allowed ta granulate, like Scotch porridge or like the Austrian sterz, but Is boiled lntu a solid pudding, which Is cut up and portioned out with a string. It Is eat en cold as often as It Is hot, and Is in every sense the Italian peasant's dally bread. The modern Roumanians nr held by many scholars to be descended from a Roman colony In other words, to be .cousins of the Italians; and. cu riously enough a variation of the po lenta, called mamallga. Is the national dish of Roumanla. The mumalti;a U like the polenta In that It Is mudo ol Soiled .maze, but It is unlike the latter In one Important respect, as the grain i are not allowed to settle Into a solid mass, but are kept distinct, after th fashion of outmeal porridge.

CCOIiniNG to a court decision that has jiint been handed down, calling a man a grafter dors not constitute slander. This will probably lead to fresh attempts at a definition of the term which has filled a long-felt want while awaiting a place In the dictionaries. The people accepted it A. quickly and applied it liberally without any effort at nice distinctions. They called men who were guilty of criminal offenses grafters. They found the word useful In connrrttoii with boodle aldermen and dishon est politicians. But they employ It also In referring to small cheating and a disposition to nsk something for nothing. The offenses vary from prave to trivial ones, and yet the same quality is recognizable in them all. The grafter figures on rewards without service, on holdup games, op taking what does not belong to him. The same moral qualities are suggi-sted by the term whether the action complained of is criminal or not, and they are qualities that make for thievery. They were recognized recently In the Senate In a smoking room of a sleeping car which was discussing an Inci dent that hnd happened shortly before. A man had secured two railroad 'tickets for the price of one, owing to the error of a clerk, had refused to pay the full price on demand, and had decided to let the unfortu nate clerk take the consequences. The Senate voted unanimously that he would be a star grafter If he had the opportunity, and Its members emphasized their opinion of him by snubbing him and making unpleasant remarks within his hearing. The legal problem Is beyond us, but we are positive that If "grafter" is not slander it will never be mis taken for a compliment. Chicago Record-Herald. TRICKS TOR THE JURY. N spite of its many good qualities, the Jury system has always presented to the mind concerned with pure Justice the basis for a multitude of doubts. For ex ample, when eight men on a Jury are con vinced that a verdict for murder should be rendered and four are equally honest In their vote for acquittal, what Justice can there be In a verdict which condemns their subject to a compro mise verdict of manslaughter and a term of twenty years? Either the law has been robbed of a life right ly forfeited to it, or an innocent man has been made to pay the penalty for a crime he did not commit. And this brings us to the methods by which the opinions of Juries are swayed. It Is the view of the law that a Jury is moved to its duty by some telling bit of melodrama, a piece of sentimental clap-trap, or the clever Introduction of Irrelevant nonsense Into tha erlous proceedings of the case by some slick lawyer. One does not wish to be severe on a man on trial for his liberty. Nor is it right to deprive him of any legal privilege granted to him by the law. But it must he seen that since the Jury before which he Is being As the sour old marrlcii couple were walking In the park Mr. and Mrs. Spocmmore rode by In their new auto mobile, chatting merrily. "Look at them!" said the experi enced married woman, bitterly. "See them actually carrying on a conversa tion and not quarreling! How do they do It?" "Huh," grunted her husband. But if the experienced married cou ple had heard the "conversation" this is what they would have heard: "I'm really glad I took that rasp-berry-colored gown. Oh, I clear for got to get some raspberry-colored thread to use In taking In that place In the skirt! But I suppose you can ki ii some time downtown if you would ever remember " "My, but this little wagon does run fine. Ever notice how she nurrs? I've found out tho best way to steer and not wabble; you Just " "I really believe that white gown is a bargain. I hope the other one doesn't make me look pudgy." You keep your eyes on the road ahead of you and pay no attention to what your hands and feet are doing. That is. after It becomes " "I wonder if they really will send them out when they said? If they don't there's no trip for me next Sat urday." "Whoop! I looked down at my gas throttle a minute, and that thanky ma'am rose up and swatted us right! I guess I'd better heed a little of my own preaching after this." "I certainly wouldn't have wanted another thing that woman showed me. Did you ever see such a fright In your llfo as that blue one with the long cout to It? Perfectly dreadful. And she Bald It was the very latest style too. Well, all I have to say Is that the Btyle won't stay that way very long." "Good! Did you see her take that hill on the high gear? I've got that spark and gas notch business down pretty tolerably fine. I tell you. That fourth notch of spark and the fifth of gas will climb any old hill If the car Isn't overloaded and I'm not stopped for something at the foot. 1 wouldn't trade " "Well, you ve no idea how glad I am that the ordeal's over. I've been dreading this hot shopping trip for a week, and It was mighty nice of you to go along and help me select the things and talk them over with me "liook out, kid! A llttlo more and your mother wouldn't have known you when you got home to-night. It's certainly fierce the way people lot their kids play In the streets, out In front of autos, and everything. Some day one of these tads will bo killed, and the fond parent will say the Lord took them because they were too good for this eurth." "Well, I'm gladder every minute that she didn't get me to take that pongee with the embroidery. There must have been a prize offered to wlio I ever could sell that thing, the way she coaxed at me to let her send It out." Chicago Daily News. tried enn only honestly concern Itself with the testi mony as to his guilt or Innocence, nothing elso but the facts bearing on these points should be allowed to plead for him before that Jury. And there Is nothing either In the ethics of the profession or law or In the unwrit ten licenses pcrmlted by custom In the influencing of Juries which Justifies counsr.l for the defendant in re sorting to such tricks. Washington Post. X In other States where drainage projects are undertaken. Northern Iowa, particularly, contains a large number of shallow lakes which can be drained apd converted Into agricultural land at comparatively nmall outlay, and the tendency to do so has led to much litigation to preserve lakes which the common good demands should be retained. Whatever other effects the law ha9, It will tend to stop the drainage of real lakes, since the direct financial benefit Is not so likely to tempt the State as It would a private Individual. In rendering this decision the Iowa Supreme Court has also undoubtedly cut out for Itself much litigation in the future determining titles to lnke beds already drained and defining what constitutes a lake within the meaning of the law. The Iowa court la used to that, however, as the cases will be legitimate suc cessors to the piolonged swamp land disputes. Omaha Bee. T mm mission of the Bureau of Immigration, under the or der Just issuel by Secretary Nagel, to equalize this con dition to send the laborer away from the overstocked market to the other market where his services are In demand. Though the government doubtless concerns Itself largely with the economic aspects of the case, there Is also a moral and physical question Involved. The more generally immigrants are kept away from cities, the better will be the health and morals not only of them selves, but of their children; the more probably will the second generation grow Into worthy, law-abiding Americans. The better, too, will be the conditions in the cities themselves If they are relieved somewhat of this constant Influx. It would be almost a solution of the problem of congestion and Its train of evils. Cleve land Plain Dealer. FOR THE ECONOMICAL MAN. Mot Kec-rsanrr to Vuy II lit h Prices In Order to lie Well l)rraad. It is not necessary for a man to pay high prices for his clothes in order to be well dressed, the New York Sun says. In all kinds of ready-made clothes better taste Is Bhown than for merly. A good rule for the econom ical man to follow Is to avoid the ex treme and the conspicuous. Take thirts, for instance. It Is pos sible to buy for about 1 a perfect ly plain white negligee Bhlrt which will look almost as smart as the shirt made to order and costing four times as much. Instead of such a white shirt, let the economical man buy a plaited shirt for the same price and It will be perfectly obvious that it was not as costly as a good plaited shirt turned out by one of the first shirt makers ought to be. This Aanie rule holds good with ev ery article of man's dress. In the mat ter of shoes the simple style free from eccentricity will enable the wearer look well dressed without the expend iture of much money und with no special evidenca of economy, while a shoe exhibiting freakishness displays Its origin at once. Any man can buy for 20 cents socks In a quality as good as a millionaire would desire. The cCme in dark blue, purple and even green. Yet there are certain kinds of cheap hosiery that shock the taste with crude colors, harsh combinations and discordant stripes. So the discriminating buyer by the exercise of taste can manage to look well and yet not spend much money. In the matter of neckwear It Is pos sible to purchase for a very small price r.rtlclos that imitate fairly well much costlier ties. The solid colors and the combinations In low-priced neckwear are sometimes as good as those In the university ties and the knit ties In the solid colors. In Btraw hats If a man picks out the ordinary thape, moderate brim and crown, be is not likely to go far wrong. He will probably look as well as the next man, even If he did pay Jl.f.O for his hat instead of $4. Of course the tie that costs f0 cents Is not the same as that which costs 13. nor is the hat that costs $1.50 the sumo us that which costs t; nor do they look the Fame. The difference be tween the two ties will not be so great, however, as that between the hats. For Hint reason tho hat must be se lected with even greater care than the tie, r.nd the principal chance of suc cess lies in keeping to good models. In his ,gloves. In his handkerchiefs und In his underwear there Is plenty of opportunity for the ecouomlcal man to show his tasto. By watching his chances to buy advnntageously In the bops (Mid then selecting with care he will be able to appear as well dressed os the man who spends much more on bis clothes. Our Kuullsb Ambassadorial Hank. The carefully trained diplomats sent abroad by foreign countries where diplomacy Is a regular profession ure letter perfect as to tho gymnastic and sartorial details of their Jobs. Born with tho mildew of caste In their veins, they glory In the triplicated kow tow and gloat over the backward glide. Diplomacy, the French say. is the art of tying one's owu necktie, and, AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION. UK decree of the Iowa Supreme Court that lake beds and the beds of non-navigable rivers belong to the State constitutes a derision destined to have a far-reaching effect on drainage projects. While the de rlslon Is binding In no State except Iowa, the precedent set Is likely to bo followed DIVERSION OF IMMIGRANTS. HE country districts have a perpetual hun ger for men to do common labor; particu larly Is this chronic shortage acute In the South and Middle West. On the other hand, it Is too often true that the labor market In the large centers of popula tion Is oversupplled with men. It Is the under that definition, foreign diplo mats are its masters. But in handling men, In adjusting really Important af fairs, In promoting international am ity and understanding, in dealing with those quick crises which are the true test of diplomacy, the wider training, the broader outlook, and the more di versified experience of the American ministers made them unequaled. Meanwhile the stupidity or coward Ice of Congress statesmen are wel come to the choice which was respon sible for the creation of the ambassa dorial rank without , providing funds for its support, will stand In the way of applying either possible remedy to the Impossible situation. And so the American people must continue to sponge on the private fortunes of am bitious millionaires who are anxious to buy for themselves and their fam ilies some temporary glitter and glory abroad, until the National Legislature either makes suitable provision for ambassadorial support or quickened and inspired by the living memory of Abraham Lincoln returns to the old Ideas of republican simplicity. Success Magazine. TAINTS BIG THEATER CURTAIN. AlloKorlrnl Picture (or the Denver Auditorium Being" Finished. One of the largest theator curtains in the country is being painted by Albert Herter In the Vanderbilt gal lery in the Fine Arts building at 215 West 57th street, for the Denver Au ditorium, the New York Herald says. It Is for a proscenium arch, thirty three feet high and sixty-five feet wide, and with the exception of a com paratively narrow ornamental border the entire spaco will be given to an allegorical picture. The princial figures are General "Wushington and the Marquis de La fayette, mounted, and near them stands Alexander Hamilton. They are on an elevation from which they can look down upon a scene of war. Far beyond them Is the figure of Progress and near by stands Justice and other personifications of the civic virtues, while emerging from the folds of the flag, far above the central group, Is the spirit of Independence. The pa triotic theme was chosen because the curtain is to be presented to the Au ditorium in Denver by a revolutionary society. The curtain was first sketched In a large loft owned by the scene painter, but as Mr. Herter could only see the results of his work at a distance of six feet he removed It as soon as pos Bible to the gallery, where he can study the effect under conditions which more nearly correspond with those under which the curtain will 1m displayed when it is In place. The panel Is pleasing In its color scheme and highly decorative. Olhrmlse Oceupled. "Why don't you devote some atten tion to the preservation of our mag nificent American forests?" "It's worth thinking a!out." an swered Mr. Cunirox. "Some of us men of wealth haven't given the matter due thought owing to our interest in furnishing financial props forKurope's genealogical trees."

INLAND VACATION FISHINflL Home Instrnrtlmis for the Anli Who Wonld Arhler Success. In- still fishing for plckerrl. pike ot muskellunge on the lake the best tlma la from 4 p. m. till dusk, or from sun rise to 7 a. m., though such early fish ing at other seasons is les3 effective, I-ouls Rhead says in Outlnif. The best bait for these three fish Is small, two or three Inch minnows for pickerel! five-inch minnows for pike and eight inch minnows for muskellonge. For the last, Bhlners, silvery dace, young white fish, chub or a young sucker will do. Anchor the boat quietly tea to twenty feet out In the lake from the weeds and use a clnker heavy enough to keep the live bait below, according to the size of bait. The right tackle consists of a phosphor-bronze wire leader, with one or two single hooks snelled of the samo material; Insert the hook through tho hack of the shoulders, using care not to kill the bait, so that it can swim around the leader. Have swivels at tached to each bucII and one connect ing the line to leader, so that the bait will not get twisted while in the water. Pome anglers use two hooks, one a foot from the sinker, the other four feet above It. A float is very useful In keeping the line straight up from the bottom and Is an excellent devlco to denote , when a fish takes the luro. When It does and the float sinks ht r.eath the surface, be patient; It wITl come up again to take a Journey moro or less rapidly; after It has traveled a few yards, raise the tip of your rod rtronp and quick; you will thus hook the fish. Then being to reel it In to ward the boat and be sure to use a net. SHORT METER SERMONS. Srlf-Snerincc. Self-sacrifice brlnRS life's sweetest reward. Rev. J. B. Remensnyder, Lu theran, New York City.
