Same Old Port of Protection.
When prices were low, people
wanted prices to be high. Then when
prices became high they blamed the
Tariff for them, and on this as a
basis all sorts of agitators and dem
agogues have been working over
time with the result that the people
have accepted many of their conclu
sions. But we believe this last
state of mind is merely temporary.
lust have patience. Do not quarrel
over-much with the excited ones.
Let them come to their senses gradu
ally. England will come to a degree
of protection much sooner than Amer
ica will go a degree of free trade.
In the face of clamor never surrender
your convictions. The Burlington
Hawk Eye," the Sioux City "Journ-1
al" and the Iowa City "Republican"
are using their cudgels on the clam
oring ones and the Dcs Moines
"Capital" is in the dumps. But let
the one cheer up and the others
drop their cudgels; the ship will
right itself, for the storm will sub
side. And the ship will again put
in the port of William McKlnley and
Nelson Dingley. There will be con
stant improvements in the port, but
it will be the same old port of Pro
tection. Cedar Rapids "Republi
can." Not so Bad.
Gwendolyn de Courtenay, the
handsome society favorite, was ner
vously agitated. Even a blind-bag
gage car could see that. She paced
up and down in front of the large
cheval-glass in her room. Evidently
she was greatly aggrieved over some
thing. Finally her high-strung
nerves got churned up to such a
pitch that she lost control over her
self and began to clutch and tear
wildly at her hair, pulling it out in
large handfuls.
Your sympathetic nature is
aroused and you cry: "The poor
woman is temporarily insane. Why
doesn't some one stop her before she
does herself bodily injury? She
must be in terrible mental agony
to stand the pain of pulling her hair
out by the roots."
But hist! Be not too lavish with
your sympathy, friend. Up to now
Gwendolyn has only pulled off four
teen pounds of puffs, three miles of
interlocking switches and a few de
tachable curls. She has some dis
tance to go yet before she touches
the real, cross-your-heart hair.
Gwendolyn is merely distracted be
cause her maid cannot get her
floating, hirsute equipment on in
becoming array. She is simply get
ting ready for a fresh start! Puck.
Sweet Cucumber Pickles.
Slice the cucumbers and lay In
ttrong brlno for three days, then drain
end lay In fresh water for a day. Line
a kettle with grape leaves and arrange
the cucumbers in It In layers, strew
Ing a pinch of alum over each layer.
Cover with cold water, put over tho
top layer of cucumbers three layers of
tho grape leaves, fit on the lid and
steam tho pickles at the sido of the
range for six hours. Drain and throw
Into cold water and when firm drain
again and pack Into jars. Fill each Jar
with boiling Tlnegar that has been
seasoned with a cupful of sugar to
each quart, eight black peppers, eight
whole cloves, six blades of mace and
six allspice. Seal tho jar while Btlll
overflowing. Bet aside several months
to ripen before using.
And the Band Flared On.
At Lake Winola, Monday last, at
the military ball, at Hotel Clifton,
which was attended by about eight
hundred people a panic was oc
casioned by one of the verandas
of the hotel giving away. The
crash canie at about 11 o'clock,
when the festivities were at their
height. No one was hurt, but all
were frightened nnd, but for the
presence of mind of "Pop" Alexan
der, the leader of the band In at
tendance, it might have been worse.
He calmly gave out "Guard Mount
ing" and the band played, stilling
the shieks of frightened females,
the yells of timid men, and restoring
confidence. Tally one for "Pop."
