it seems as if your arms are slowly but

Here your wife comes to the rescue
by inquiring if you are going to be all

the broom slips off the pipe, and in her

you under the chin with the handle, and
the pipe comes down on your head with
its load of fried SCOT, and then the chair

20 yesl Is it you Marcus? | am
glad, for I'm so sleepy
Marcus knew that the drowziness that
steals over the freezing was coming to
the worn-out child, and he exerted him
self to keep her awake, as he sped up
the mountain. carrying her in his arms,
the lamb following nimbly behind.
It was nearly midnight of the follow
ing day night when Marcus, wearied
and foot. sore, laid the little Leila in the
lap of her overjoyed mother. That was
time of JOY long to be remembered in
the hut of William Reade-a time of
thanksgiving and praise to the Great
Father of all good.
Well, reader, good many years af-
terwards, Marcus Wellman, having made
his escape from the Pcquawkets, grew to
be rich man, lawyer in promising
Eastern city and when people had be-
gun to speak of him as great and good,
what do you think he did? He went
far back to the foot of the White Noun
tains, and brought away Leila Reade
and her parents to the home he had pro.
vided for them; and by and by. when
the world had done wondering, he made
Leila his wife, and they were a very
happy family.
Marcus Weliman lived long, and, i
life of usefulness and active charity
can avail, then he will claim much hap
piness in the Great Hereafter.

LETTER FROM IOWA.

We are always pleased to receive let
ters from our friends in the West, and
believe them to be interesting to the
readers of the MONITOR. Ed.
EDITOR MoNIToR-Some of my rela-
tives in Glover have sent me copy of
your paper containing news of persons
and things with which I was formerly as
familiar as household words" If
short epistle from the Western Slope"
of the State is not unacceptable. l will
pen few lines. Dexter is an 'incorpor-
ated city, of a population of eight hun
dred persons, with plenty of room on
the prairie for million. 1t is situated
on the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific
R. R.. thirty-fve miles west Of Des-
Moines, upon high rolling prairie, on
what is well known as the Quaker Di-
vide" beyond question one of the finest
sections of the state, and IN such beau
tiful state as Iowa that is saying much.
Our city, but four years old, contains
ten stores, one fine grain elevator. be-
sides two other grain warehouses, and
the ''Grangers' are to put up another
the present season. The soil in this
section is about four feet deep. of black
alluvial, mixed slightly with sand. We
are about three miles from timber, with
coal the same distance in abundance
This of course, seems far distant to a
Vermonter that has never lived West
but [ prefer to live ten miles from tim
ber rather than clear timber farm of
both wood and rocks. Well, our winter
is gone and most of our wheat is sown-
some of it two weeks since, and farmers
are busy plowing for corn. Wheat is
not extensively raised here. Corn is
the principal crop of grain, farmers rails
ing from forty to two thousand acres. =
1t is very cheap this season and but lit
tie is shipped. 1t is mostly fed to cat
tie and hogs. One farmer in sight, is
feeding nearly four hundred head of cat
tie for market corn, in the ear is put
into troughs, and on the ground, and
hogs pick up the waste. Five hogs are
allowed to follow each steer. Cattle ano
: hogs are shipped as fast as fattened-
, Corn is worth l6 1-2 cts. per bushel
, oats II cents, hay $3.50 per ton butter
5 II to 20 cents; live hogs $3.50 per hud
dred fat cattle will sell here at SHE
, and SIS per hundred, live weight Egg
| 10 cents, per dozen; flour $3.50 pc
! barrel. Laboring hands get from SIS t.
$25 per month for the season. In thi
5 city and the surrounding country w
: have room for more new corners. W
| have Presbyterian and Universalis
3 meeting house. In the latter [ hav
| both the honor and the pleasure of off
!. ciating. We have an excellent indie
pendent district, graded school and
{ live newspaper. The balance of thi
t letter leave for some future time.

A correspondent of a New York paper
gives an extended account of the Indian
Mound, in Florida. One of the most in
teresting mounds in the State is that at
Burnham's Grove, five miles west of
Cape Canaveral Situated in the center
of Cape Burnham's celebrated orange
grove. it is now but heap Of dirt
Some years ago Sir Francis Skyes, a
British Nobleman, visited Cape Canav-
eral. By Capt. Burnham's permission
he excavated the mound, and took out
twenty seven complete skeletons. which
he forwarded to England The skele-
tons were found lying side by side in a
circle, with their heads toward the GEN.
ter Of the mound. The bones showed
that their owners were men Of powerful
physique Their shoulders were broad.
and the jaw bones particularly of re
markable length and strength. The
skulls were very thick, and the thigh
bones long and solid.

FRIGHTFUL WEATHER.-St. Louis,
Mo-, April %. The Democrat prints
the following special dispatch:
LINCOLN, Neb., April 81. The first
train for week on the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad, came in this
morning. The reports of the late storm
show it to have been the most severe
ever known here. Men were frozen to
death within two rods of their houses
while trying to get to their stock to feed
them. Near Grafton man named
Keller attempted to reach neighbor
scarcely half mile away, accompanied
by his wife and child, and the two lat
ter were frozen to DEATH Mr. Marshall,
of Hastings, perished while trying to
reach his stock from his house. The
wife and child of Mr.. Bent, living near
Red Cloud, were frozen while attempt
ing to reach neighbor's, after the house
had been rendered uninhabitable. Their
bodies we're found on Friday, ten rods
from the house. Families were compel
led to take refuge in cellars or keep
their beds for three days. Houses were
blown down and filled with snow. The
destruction of cattle and horses was
great; some farmers lost all they had.
One party lost whole herd of seventy
five head. The gullies on the railways
were filled with snow as hard as ice, and
snow-plows were useless.

When a hen lays an egg she cackles.
1t is hen nature. When man gets in
a new stock of goods, it is human for
him to crow over it. When the hen
cackles, people know that she has laid
in some fresh stock, and feels rather
proud of it. When the merchant opens
his new styles, and blows his trumpet in
the newspapers. people know that he
has something on hand that is aoorth od
rertasing. Blow your own trumpet
once in while. 1t won't hurt you ol
the trumpet either.

A LUCKY ALBANIAN.

The case of NcNab versus Robbins &
Co., which has lately been decided in
the New Jersey court of Appeals at Tren-
ton, offers hattering prospect of an i'm
mense fortune to one of our citizens. 1t
appears that George Goldsmith, a Qua
ker farmer and on old bachelor, living
near the village of Trenton, in New Jer-
sey, died in January, 1850. He willed
his property, consisting of farm, one
or two buildings in Trenton, and bar
ron sand plain lot of twenty acres (about
two miles from the riveD to his neph-
ews. One of them, Peter Gleason, bought
the others out and occupied the place
until his death, in 1901, leaving his
property to his only child and daughter,
who afterwards married Joel L. Wing of
Dutchess County, n. Y. In 1906 Mrs.
Wing sold out her property, but no
mention was made of this sand plain lot,
which was really considered worthless.
Thus the case rested. The village of
Trenton becoming city, reached out and
included this sand commons, and in
1870 it was covered with valuable houses
and several large manufactures In
January, 1871, Mr. McNab'' brought
action against ''Robbins & Company"
a large button mandatory, for moneys
claimed to be due on lease for ninety
nine years of the land on which the fac
tory was built Robbins & Co. denied
that the plaintiff owned the land, and
affirmed that the lease was void. Itap-
peared on the trial that McNab had
bought the property from irresponsible
parties in 1910. and leased it for nine
ty-nine years to different individuals
The county clerks Office contained no
record of the transfer of this property
from the time of Peter Gleason, in 1889
to the sale of it to McNab in 194O.-
The Court Of Appeals decided that this
property was owned by the heirs Of Pc.
ter Gleason, and not by McNab, hence
the lease was of no value. The heir Of
Peter Gleason was an only daughter,
Mrs. Wing, as mentioned above. Her
children consists ofItwo sons and daugh-
ter One of them. Mr.. d. L. Wing, a
resident of this city. and Mr.. John Wing,
of Poughkeepsie, and Mrs. John Bloom,
whose husband was prominent mer-
chant here few years ago. This prop
erty is estimated to be worth about four
millions. A meeting has been held of
the interested residents of this section,
and Ex-Governor Parker retained as coun-
sci, to either settle with the heirs or test
the matter in law. The decision in the
Court of appeals on the McNab case is
considered final, and the defendant. Rob-
bins & Co., have offered to buy out the
heirs if they will sell.-ABa,ay Times.

Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty, and put on airs,
With insolent pride of station
Don't be proud, and turn up your nose
AT poorer people in palmer clo'es
But learn for the sake of your souls repose
That wealth's a bubble, that comes-and goes
And that all Proud Flesh, wherever it grows,
Is subject to irritation!
