SMOOTHING TH E ROUGH PL ACES.
That avarice, selfishness and g re e d has not entirely
encrusted the average human heart nor absorbed all the
milk of kindness therefrom has been fully shown to the
editor of the Itemizer during the last week. It has come
to be a belief by many that the rush for wealth in these
latter days has to a great extent obliterated from man­
kind all interest in his fellow sojourners, that others’
troubles are not ours, and that expression of sympathy
at such times is rarely practiced. This by personal ex­
perience lately we have found to be a fallacy, either
that or that we are blessed with a greater amount of
true friends than is general. In the first great trouble
of our lives, a bereavement that took from our family
circle our oldest daughter, we have found friends and
sympathy, many times where least expected. We have
found that a firm grasp of the hand and a few words of
condolence tend greatly to mitigate a nearly incompre-
hendable sorrow— to those who have not experienced it.
We have found that love of man to man is not extinct
by any means, and we have learned to appreciate such
acts of friendship more than we had any idea that we
could. That it will make us more particular hereafter
in the observance of such amenities we earnestly hope,
thus repaying to a slight extent the fraternity vouch­
safed to us.

NEW J&IL.
Events of the last month have conclusively proven
that Polk county should have a new jail, and that the
time has past when a growing county like Polk can put
up with any such ramshackle structure as a temporary
abiding place for her lawbreakers, the number of which
is bound to increase in proportion as the county does in
population. Such a structure might have been well
enough in the days when for months at a time we had
no use for it, but that time has come to an end, and it
is up to our court to do away with the old catawampus
building and erect in its place a structure compatible
with the dignity of the county, one in which violators
of our laws can be safely kept, free from all possible
chance for escape, and where the sanitation will be per­
fect. The Itemizer favors a brick and cement structure
on the present site, with jailer’s apartments in the same
building.
How much do you pay the electric light company for
the privilege of reading your ev' ning paper? You ar­
range the cushions in your easy chair. You place the
droplight just right and turn on the current that makes
the filament in the bulb glow and shed a soft yellow re­
fulgence over the printed page that gives you your lat­
est intelligence of the crimes of the republican party,
the misdemeanors of the democrats, the newest outrage
of the predatory rich, or the newest method of cutting
a bias fold of voile to keep these modern tight skirts
from bagging well, where they are most likely to bag.
But do you know how much you pay for the pleasure,
the entertainment, and the instruction you get? To put
it a little differently: Do you really know whether you
buy electricity by the pint, pound or package? In the
November numberof Popular Mechanics Magazine Hen-
Tarkington explains in clear, concise language the puz­
zle of the electric light bill, and tells how the consumer
may get most out of the smallest Supply of current.
Several bills are figured out, as examples.
The troubles which never come, form the greatest
part of our daily burdens.
