This reminds US of little incident.
During the war, while one of the Iowa
regiments was encamped at Rolla,
Missouri, the wife of Colonel of the
regiment had been out visiting some
and attempted to pass
the sentinel in coming into camp to her
husbands quarters, after dark. She
was passing the sentinel with head
proudly erect and pannier defiantly clc-

the camp commanded her to halt and
the usual question of .'who
goes there?'' "Why,n said the indig-

up and casting withering glance up
on the common soldier, ''don't you

faithful sentinel promptly replied: II

in an Iowa Office when he was u wee

Gently dug up ON an Iowa prairie:
While passing through town In
Audubon county last Monday, We no.
ticed a handsome young girl In n nice,
clean back yard, washing clothes in the
old fashioned way, in a tub. She wore
a jaunty little hat, high heeled boots,
black alpaca dress, trimmed en- pdnnicr,
and most bewitchiug Grecian bend.
She dabbled the clothes in the tub with
one hand while the other was graceful
ly braced on her wasp-like waist. Ev-
er and anon she would glance up to see
if anybody were looking. 1t is quite
probable that she did not turn out big
washing.

wife of respectable farmer of this
