Dry Times.

Just now, when the State of Iowa
has been more nearly submerged
than at any time since the food,
and five or six nice, large, juicy
rains a day have been the rule, it is
interesting to look back on this old
record of dry seasons, which dates
back to the Pilgrim fathers times :
In the summer of 1921, "a days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1880, Al days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1856, rs days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1862, so days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1914, As days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1859, 81 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1894, 62 days
in succession without rain.
( In the summer of 1905, 40 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of ZIG, 45 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1920, 6l days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1870, 92 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1741, y days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1749, 103 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1855, 40 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1862, 1913 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1873, so days
in succession without rain.
In the summer Of 1871, So days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1902, % days

In the summer of 1913, 2S days

In the summer of 1856, "a days

In the summer Of 1871, AZ days

In the summer of 1874, 26 days

In the summer of 1875, q days

1t will be seen that the longest
drought that ever occurred in
was in the summer of
1862. No rain fell from the first
of May to the first of September,
making 1913 days without rain.
Many of the inhabitants sent to
for hay and grain.

In Doubt.

A tramp sat on doorstep back
in Pine street yesterday afternoon,
tenderly caressing his head and
shoulders, when his "pard" came
up.
"What's the matter with you Ja-
cob :"
"I'm in doubt, Henry, I'm in
doubt"
ain doubt; what about 2"
"Well, Henry, / went into that
alley gate up there to get some
thing to eat. / might a-knowed
somethin' nd happen, for there was
a dead book agent layin' on Tho
flower bed, and liniment man
with the side of his head all cave(

"Well !"
"You see / alters wuz ventursum

"Well what happened then ?"
"Now, Henry, that's what In

I'd sooner work half an hour tina

at is well to leave something for

said when he threw a barrel in the
way of constable who was chasing
him.

Continued from First Page)
knelt down and tried to run about
with four others on their backs ;
then they all jumped wildly up in
the air, and began to flap their
hands. At last they made a furious
onset upon one another with fists,
nails and teeth, and if they had not
left their weapons behind, they
certainly would have done some
frightful injury.
The two Indians who held the
horses looked on in horror, be-
wildered and stupelled; not know
ing what to do. They would have
fed in their fright, but dared not
leave their companions behind.
Grignon stood calm with frowning
brows, watching the uproar, him
self the presiding spirit of the
scene. Ny companions were con-
founded. Even some of them, as
they afterward told me, thought
that Grignon was the devil.
At last Grignon gave a loud
shout.
The Indians fell fiat on the
ground.
They lay there for some time as
if dead.
Then Grignon waved his arms,
and they rose to their feet. All
looked, bewildered and frightened.
With terrified glances they re-
garded first Grignon and then one
another.
The Indian is superstitious, like
all savages; in fact, like all human
beings. These men saw in Grignon
a terrible demon, who could exert
over them any power which he
chose.
He advanced toward them.
They recoiled.
He walked up nearer.
They turned and ran toward |
their horses.
Grignon ran after them.
Away they went. They urged |
their horses at the top Of their
speed.
Grignon followed them a short
distance.
Then he turned and came into
our Enclosure.
"Gather up these bottles" said
he.
"Tackle up the cattle, and let us
be marching"
Instantly our men rose and obey
ed.
Grignon took a heavy glass Of
whiskey, and then lay down in one
of the Wagons, utterly exhausted.
We travelled all that day, and
the next night unmolested. Orig
non slept long and soundly. After
resting a long time, we pushed on
our teams, so as to get as far be-
yond the hostile Indians as posi-
bic.
We saw nothing more Of them.
"They won't dare to pursue u.s."
said Grignon, confidently. "They'll
go back and tell such q story as
will be the wonder Of the savages
for many a long year."
Grignon was right. Not only |
did they not pursue US, but for all
the remainder of the year, and for
the next, no travellers on the route
were molested.
81 don't see," said l, chow you
managed to do those tricks on the
open ground without any table"
Grignon smiled.
"Only clumsy performers use
tables" said he. 81 could have
done far more wonderful things,
but they would have been thrown
away on those savages. I'llreserve
my good tricks for San Francisco"
And so he did; for of all the
wizards, magicians and conjurors
that have visited the Golden State,
none have won such fame, or ex-
cited such wonder, as my friend
Grignon.
In Doubt.
