KNUT NELSON AND EMERSON HOUGH.
SENATOR KNUT NELSON and Emerson NoiikIi who died within
48 hours of eneh other were alike in this they were both high
types, not of "100 per cent," but of genuine, dyed-in-thc-wool
Americans.
The venerable Minnesota senator happened to be born in Nor
way, but he was born with the American spirit. Coming to this
country at an early age, he settled in what was then almost a wilder
ness, and at the age of 18 enlisted in the 4th 'Wisconsin Infantry, was
wounded and captured at Port Hudson, and upon his release, by hard
work, honest dealing and thrift, proceeded to acquire a, competence,
and establish a new American record for continuous service in the
United States senate, closing out a quarter of a century. .
Emerson Hough was born at Newton, Iowa, and graduated from
the state university, but ho had the same spirit of adventure, the
same honesty and simplicity of faith, the same unswerving devotion
to fundamental American institutions and ideals, which characterized
his alien contemporary.
Simple, downright honesty, honesty in dealing and honesty in
thinking and an utter freedom from petensiousness and cant, made
these two men so unlike in environment and training, so unlike in at
tainments and interests, so typical of different generations, closely
akin in character and spirit.
It is impossible to regard the careers of the senator or the author
without having one's faith in tho fundamental wholesomchess and
promise of America strengthened, and confdonce in her destiny as the
Saviour of true Democracy the "Haven of Plain Folks" re
newed. .

THE EASY WAY.
WHEN I was young and not so fat I argued that the earth
was flat, and talked long hours away; this caused me
many kinds of grief, for in support of my belief I'd scrap with
any jay. Hen Hutt, who kept the village pound, insisted that tho
earth was round, and so we wildly jawed; we'd argue till wo both
were siek, and ho called mo a lunatic, and I culled him a fraud.
And now and then wo eame to blows, and he would. souk me in the
nose, and I would spoil his ear; and still, as by its maker planned,
in business at the same old stand, rolled on this gorgeous sphere.
Ben Batt and I ore old and bent and now wo do not care a cent
for things that made us fuss; and if tho earth be round or flat, or
hollow as an empty vat, it cuts no iec with us. It is a bully good
old earth and wo ngreo it's surely worth whatever it has cost;
and it is vain to waste an hour in musty arguments and sour that
fret us and exhaust. When our brief day is waxing late wo soo
tho folly of debate, of fuss and fret and fight, of argument that's
stalo and bare, that never gets us anywhere, or proves that we
nro right.
