not a bad precident for other
states to follow under similar
conditions.

A mammoth black walnut tree
on the farm of E. P. Gaus in Will
iams county, Ohio, has just been
sold for $4,000. Several lumber
dealers hav? examined chips from
this tree, and all have declared it
to be the finest specimen of that
kind of wood they ever saw. The
tree was eight feet in diameter,
40 feet above the stump and ex
tended 73 feet from the butt to
the first limb.
A Scotchman was once advised
to take showerbaths. A friend
explained to him how to fit one

given him the advice, and, being
asked how he enjoyed the bath.
"Man," he said, "it was fine! I
liked it rale weel, and kept my
self dry, too." Being asked how
he managed to take the shower
and yet remain dry, he replied:

How to Pack a Trunk.
As regards the packing of
clothing in a truuk, it is well to
to bear in mind the following
simple rules:
Turn skirts, unless much trim
med, inside out.
Fold all skirts in three or four
from the straight seam.
Stuff all bodice sleeves with
paper. This prevents crushing.
Stuff all hat bows with tissue
paper for a similar reason.
Tulle, net or feather boas
should bo packed in a separate
cardboard box, which may bo
placed on top of the dress basket
tray.
Don't fold fur coats inside out
This rubs and spoils the fur.
Roll all ribbons or sashes tight
ly and secure them with a small
pin.
Saves Two From Death.
"Our little daughter had an al
most fatal attack of whooping
cough and bronchitis, writes
Mrs. W. K. Haviland, of Armonk,
N. Y., "but, when all other reme

niece, who had consumption in au
advanced stage, also used this
wonderful medicine and to-day
she is perfectly well." Desper

An English journal with the
symiwsiuni habit has bee serious
ly considering the advisbility of
doing away with the honey-moon.
It is noticeable iu the opinious
printed that honey cloys upon the
masculine palate much more
quickly than upon the feminine.
"Must we sacrifice yet another
leaf from life's book of romance,"
wails one of the fair sex. She al
lows that under some circumstan
ces the honeymoon may prove a
failure, but thinks this could be
prevented by a little forethought,
a choice in the nature of the holi
day. The men who discuss the
subject do not enthuse over tho
honeymoon. There is one who
contends that the honey mo n en
genders "ennui," which produces
indifference, is the destruction of
of all poetry and true happiness
in married life. The men throw
out many more valuable theories.
Summarized, the women are for
the preservation of the romantic
institution, and are prone to burst
into peotry and sentiment at the
very word honeymoon. The men
are different. Either they have
less sentiment or they lack cour
age of their convictions; for, one
and all, they hand in a verdict
which in substance amounts to
"the longer tht moon the shorter
the honey."
"A few mouths ago, food which
I ate for breakfast would not re
main on my stomach for half an
hour. I used one bottle of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and can
now eat my breakfast and other
meals with a relish and my food
is thoroughly digested. Nothing
equals Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for
stomach troubles." II. S. Pitts,
Arlington, Tex. Kodol Dyspepsia

As in every trade in life, there
are bad tuners among the piano
tuning fraternity. A bad tuner
can spoil a piano by springing tho
tuning pins and tampering with
the action. They make lovers of
tho pins, scringing them buck or
forth to increase or lessen tho
tension of the strings instead of
turning tho pins in the proper
manner. A majority of so called
tuners, sad to relate, perform
their work in just that way, so
that when once a family gets a
first class piano tuner they
should rivet him to their appreci
ative service with considerate re
muneration and beware of tho
newly hatched piano tuner.
Dyspeptics cannot be long lived
because to live requires nourish
ment Food is not nourishing until
jt is digested. A disordered
stomach cannot digest food, it
must have assistance. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests all kinds
of food without aid from tbe
stomach, allowing it to rest and
regain its natural functions. Its
elements are exactly the same as
the naturaly digestive fluids and
it simply can't holp but do you
good. Trout's drug Btore.
Served For $2.50 a Day.
A short time ago, office-hold,
ei s in particular and the public
in general, in and alout Monroe
county, this State, were surpris
ed by the announcement that one
of tho county commissioners had
returned to the county treasurer
140 of his salary.
When Mr. Pipher was an inde
pendent candidate for county
commissioner, he was asked by
several if he would servo in the
office for $2.50 per day and he
agreed to do it.
At that time Mr. Pipher was
not aware of the law on the sub
ject of commissioner's compen
sation which makes it $3.50 per
day no more or no less.
There was no help for it and
Commissioner Pipher had to take
$:.50 for each of the days 'served
in tho office by him. He could
not accept any loss but ho . has
presented the county with $140
of his own free will. Mr. Pipher
is said by those- who are familiar
with him, to have made an excol
officiiil, being economical aud con
scientious in his duties to the
county.
County Commissioner Pipher
not only turned into tho county
treasury the extra dollar for ev
cry day he was in office 117
but his traveling expenses as
well, $23. This made the $140
check.
This action of My. Tipher has
caused much criticism, but most
ly of a favorable sort.
Replying to a question from a
representative of the Hawkeye,
Mr. Pipher, who owns and man
ages an extensive flouring mill at
Miusi, and who is looked upon as
one of the solid business men of
t he county, said: It has been the
habit in our county for a candi
date to spend more or very near
the amount of his salary in order
to secure the office desired.
When my friends took me up
nnd asked mo to run ' independ
ent, I did not go over the county
spending a lot of cash for cigars
and whiskey and then cheat the
county or some one else out of it
to get it back again. And I want
to tell you right here that my
election did not cost me one pen
ny. I was running independent
of all of them.
Our county has a debt of from
$05,000 to $67,000 and there is no
necessity for owing a dollar of in
debtedness, for a careful and con
certed management would have
lifted it out of debt long ago.
Our county is full of poor iron
bridges that have cost the tax
payers one-third to one-half more
than they are worth.
As to our former commission
ers accepting boodle, I eannot
say, but all the same I do know
they were very keen to let out the
contracts for poor bridges at very
high prices.
Now I'll go further and - say
this much that it is common prac
tice for bridge agents, (and I sup
pose it is the same with all job
bers) to offer big bonus to the
commissioners as a bribe to se
cure the contracts.
I have had bridge agents ap
proach me in just this manner
and explain carefully and thor
oughly to me just how to lift a
good fat sum out of the taxpay
ers pockets for my own. This iu
return for a contract. They
want the commissioners to give
them a bridge at a big figure and
when the bridge is built and paid
for by tho county commissioners
each will get $100 or 200, just ac
cording to the size of the bridge
and the amount paid.
Mr friends know that I am not
the sort of a man to sell my hou-
or and that is just why they elect
ed me. As I told you I am inde
pendent of everything and every
body. I have never taken a dol
lar nor made a questionable deal
so you see I can afford to hit
straight from the shoulder with
out getting back to me.
rne stanu you toon in your
poorhouse affair is in line with
my own position in Monroo, and
while I like to seo every man
prosper in business and get good
prices for his work, I do not be
lievo a public servant should
squeeze or even rob the taxpay
er as so many of them are doing,
It is very evident Mr. Pipher
is not afraid to speak out In meet
ing aud as he knew he was speak
ing to a newspaper man, and
knew also that his voice would
reach in every direction.
The beauty of checks and wo
men are luugeu irom tho same
standpoint faco and figure.
Doctors and Editors.
low a MVillciil Journal.
Tho doctors are all friends of
ofii's. Wo expect them to stay
with us until death.' Yet at the
risk nf incurring their displeas
ure, wo publish the following:
Wo don't know where it came
from, anymore than wo know
whoso rainsjviut the doctor's
medicine- came from. We find it
in a paper credited to "Ex." If
we knew the author wo would
gladly give his name, because the
article is really good. Iloro it is:
The doctor from Algona said
that newspapers are run for rev
enue only. What in thunder do
doctors -run for anyway? Do
they run for glory? One good
healthy doctor's bill would run
this office for six months.
An editor works a half day for
$3.00 with an investment of $3000;
a doctor looks wise, works ten
minutes for $2.00, with an invest
ment of 3 cents for catnip and a
pill box that costs $1.37.
A doctor goes to college for two
or three years and gets a diploma
and a string of words tho devil
himself cannot pronounce, culti-
ates a look of gravity that he
pawns off for wisdom, gets a box
of pills, a cayuse, Und a meat saw
and sticks his shingle out a full-
fledged doctor. He will thou doc
tor you until you die, at a stipulat
ed price per visit, aud then puts
them in as thick as your pocket
book will permit.
An editor never gets his educa
tion finished. lie learns as long
as he lives and studies all his life.
Ho eats bran, mush and liver; he
takes his pay in triumph and hay,
and keeps the doctor in town by
refraining from printing the
truth about him.
We should like to live in A'gou
a and r.un a newspaper about six
months and see if the doctor
would change his mind about run
ning a newsbaper for revenue on-
1-rr
If tvo nirln r, .fur. srane tnorvont,
of it we would agree to take one
of his pills after first saying our
prayers. If tho editor makes a
mistake, lie has to apologize for it
but if the doctor makes a mistake
he buries it.
If we make one, there is a law
suit, tall swearing and a smell of j
sulphur, but if the doctor makes
but if the doctor makes one there
is a funeral, cut flowers and a
a smell of varnish. The doctor
can use a word a foot long, but if
the editor uses he has to spell it.
If the doctor goes to see a
man's wife he will charge the man
for tne visit. If the editor calls
on another man's wife he gets a
charge of buckshot. Any medi
cal college can make a doctor.
You can't make an editor; he has
to be born.
The editor works to keep from
starving, while the doctor works
to ward off tho gout. The editor
helps men to live better, and the
doctor assists them to die easy.
The doctor pulls a sick man's
leg, the editor is glad if he can
collect his at alL Revenue only?
We are living for fun and to spite
the doctors.

Mnpio ii a ilnrk gray mnrc driv

who delivers mail on a country route
out of that city. ' For six months
Mnpgio lm3 drawn tlio liht mail

ly for country driving. Among oth
er features it has a glass front, to
eiiablo tho driver to Fee ahead, and
below the glass is arranged a set of
pigeonholes, where the carrier can
classify the mail matter. Maggie
lias learned a few things about mail
carrying, tno, for she is of nn in
genious turn of mind. When she
ncars a box on 1he route, she looks
buck through the glass to seo if the
carrier is fumbling in the boxes. If
he is, she pulls, the wagon up to tho
box by the roadside. If there is no
movement hark in the wagon, that
fact to the faithful animal is equiv
alent to "no mail," nnd she lifts her
nose in tho air and jogs down the
track as if there were no such thing
as a mail box near her. Chicago

Thii Boy Was Shrewd.
Tommy, aged 5, had a pony and a
dog, nnd, while he liked them both,
ho liked the pony best. One day a
visitor, to test his generosity, asked
him if he would not give him the
dog. "No," replied tho little fol
low, "but I'll give you the pony."
This surprised his mother very
much, and she asked him why ho
didn't give the dog instead.. "Don't
say a word, mamma," whispered the
little schemer. "When he goes to
get the pony, I'll 6ick tho dog on
him." Exchange.
The Elephant's Mouth.
Tho elephant's mouth is one of
tho queerest rights in the whole of
the animal kingdom. Its size alono
makes it sufficiently remHrkablc, but
its construction is more remarkable
even than its size. It has no front
teeth, for elephants never eat flesh
or any food which requires tearing
apart. They have only eight teeth
altogether, four large yellow molars
on each ride, two above and two be-
io
Those teeth are about two
inches thick and the width of r
man's hand.
A Great Kite.
A kite 1? feet tall would make
anybody's eyes bulge with excite
ment, I fancy. A gentleman nt Yp
silanti, Mich., has devised many
monster machines that rise in tho
air hundreds of feet and are tho
envy of boys for miles around.
When one of his kites was flown
in tandem with a 7 foot box kite
and a 14 foot box kite, it was strong

enough to lift a man into tho air.
When tho big kite was flown near a
farmhouse, tho chickens and tur
keys, seeing the monster in tho air,
rushed for their sheds and coops.
The women, seeing tho commotion,
but not its cause, shouted, "A hawk,
a hawk!" When the farmer came
out with his gun and saw tho great
kite sfiaring over his buildings, he
decided not to shoot.

When a popular young author
