account of the early history Of Iowa, then

as quite on the square, yet in those early
days they felt at liberty 10 make the rules

ROMANCE ON THE RAIL.-A pretty little
DIT OF romance developed itself in one of the
state street cars recently Among the pas
sehgers was pale, quiet little woman, plain
~ dressed, and very pretty witbal. Present.
y one legged soldier labored into the car
on ms crutches. The seats were crowded
ana the soldier had to stand The young
woman got up, pulled the blue sleeve and
pointed 10 the seat she had vacated. For
tne hrst time, as he turned, she had a full
view OF his face, and neither of them Maid
any more attention to the empty seat. They
stared at one another minute and then. in
spite OF the awkward motion of the car. en-
braced and kissed each other with hysterical
teryor At flrst, the passengers were some
what astonlshed at so public a demonstra-
ton: but all OF them soon joined in congratu-
lating the delighted couple upon learning
that the two persons thus suddenly BROUGHT
together were man and wife, long separated
by the vicissitudes of war. The soldier had
been desperately wounded in Tennessee and
had been taken prisoner. He was supposed
to have been killed, and before he was re-
stored to freedom and able to write, his wife
or widow as she had supposed herself, re
moved to Chicago, and so his letters never
reached her. The poor fellow, as soon as be
could travel, set out for home, with a de
spending heart, to learn why his letters hac
never been answered.' He reached Chicago
