Mahomet and His Cat.

While Mahomet was concocting his
system bis cAt sat curled up on his sleeve.
While the cat purred Mahomet reflected,
for the purring OF the cat makes an ex-
cellent base to meditation. Perhaps the
prophet dreamed of his paradise. He
dreamed for a long time, and the cat
fell asleep. Being at length obliged to
attend to his business, Mahomet took Q
pair OF scissors, cut of the sleeve of bic

rose gently from his seat, happy that be

Y A western man who has lived
among tornadoes all his life, who was
raised with them, as it were, says that il
is easy to distinguish q tornado from an
ordinary blow. A cyclone or tornado
north OF the equator always comes from
the southwest. Its first appearance is
that OF local cloud. 1t alws sys comes
when the temperature is low. 1t is moth
ing more than an electric storm. The
earth refuses to receive the electricity
that is constantly being generated, and
it accumulates in mase. When the
cloud extends from one side of the ho.
rizon to the other, there ia no danger ol
a cyclone.

HIS Loss was Her Gain.

"Well madam. " said q fashionable
physician to wealthy lady patient, .if
you don't like my prescriptions, perhaps
you had better try Parker's Tonic, or
some other quack stuff" "You don't
mean it Doctor" she answered, ssbut
your advice may be good for all that.
Sometimes what you call 'qusck stuff is
the best and most scientific medicine,
after ALL" She got bottle OF Parker's
Tonic and 1t cured her OF neuralgia
arising from disordered stomach and
nerves. She told her friends, and now
they all keep doctor at home In the
form of Parker's Tonic.

THE MARCH OF THE CHILDREN.


HE MARCH OF THE CHILDREN.
List to the sound of the drummingl
0aily the children are coming!
Sweet as the smile Of fairy;
Fresh as the blossoms they carry;
Pride of the parents who love them;
Pure as the azure above them;
Free as the winds that caress them;
Bright as the sunbeams that bless them.
List to the voice echoes ringingi
Sweeter than birds they are singing;
Thoughts that to virtue invite them
Wed unto airs that delight them;
Truths that their future will cherish,
Soul-planted, never to perishl
Only to senses comp1eter
Heavens choicest music were sweeter.
Virtue unconscious and pretty,
Walks through the streets of the city;
See the gay bannerets fyingl
Notices and titles undying;
Truths. dearly hallowed and olden,
Braided in strands that are golden
Words for the spirits desiring;
Sentences sweetly inspiring.
When. in voice of caressing,
Christ gave the children His Blessing,
Twas not for one generation,
But for each epoch and nation.
So through the present it fingers,
Shed from His bountiful fingers;
So unto these it is given
Types of the angels in heaven.

The Call. and its Purpose.

The call for county convention
to meet the 18th instant is based
upon the entire vote given for the
fusion electoral ticket, last fall and
contemplates representation, union,
fusion and harmonious action and
work OF all the elements In the
county in opposition to the republi-
can party. The purpose, also, in the
caucuses called in different towns,
is that all persons who voted the
fusion electoral ticket in Iowa last
fall, and OF all who support the pre-
sent fusion state ticket in Iowa,
take part in selecting and sending
delegates to the county convention
to the end that the best possible
county ticket may be put in nomina-
ton, without regard to the individu-
III views OF the nominees upon any
question, except the issues present
ed in the platforms adopted at Ce-
dar Rapids and at Des Moines. The
committee making the call consists
OF eight Democrats and four Green
hackers. and we understand were
unanimous In the language and form
of the call. It was also submitted
to leading democrats not Of the com
mittee, who were invited to make
suggestions, such as they deemed
proper and requisite, concerning it,
and it had their concurrence and ap-
prevail; thus completely paving the
way to union, harmony, and, may we
not reasonably hope, to success al
the ballot box in November. Now
let us all take hold and work united
| ly for success.

The "Cresco Choral Union will
hold its first Union Meeting this Fri
day, October I'd, at 8 p. m, at the
music parlors of Prof. Won Meyer
hoff. A concert will be joined to the
meeting. Let harmony and union
be the only prevailing thought OF all
Of the members. So that it may
prove an exponent OF harmonious
home life. Look to the good cause
and give your helping hand to achieve
a good result. Consider what labor
and selfdenial it requires to organize
and combine numerous musical pow
ers for the purpose Ofprogress! Per-
sonal affairs are not congenent parts
OF a union. Discord and disunison
are not component parts Of harmony
Let it not be said that Cresco has
little faith in its own powers, or that
our moral and social conditions are
not favorable to musical growth
Continue to let the unanimity pre-
vail which characterized the first
move Of the "Cresco Choral Union
Do not lose sight OF your earnest
wish that there should be such g
home-institution. Garry it forward
as public spirited enterprise, ar
honor, blessing and profit to all.

What Sporting Men Rely On.

When Lewis r. Redmond, the
South Carolina moonshiner, corner
ed, after for eight years Guiding the
government officials, was asked to
surrender, he exclaimed:
Never, to men who fire at my
back"
Before he was taken, five bullets
had gone clear through him. but
strange to relate, he got well, in the
hands OF a rude backwoods nurse. 9
By the way, il Garfield had been in
the hands or q backwoods nurse, he
might have lived. A heap Of voIun-
teer testimony against the infalli-
bility Of the physicians has been
accumulated OF late, and people are
encouraged to do their own doctor.
ing more and more. It is cheaper
and quite as certain.
Before Detective Curtin Of Buffalo
caught Tom Ballard he covered"
him with his revolver. Tom saw
the point and tumbled.
Joe Goss was covered a few weeks
ago and he tnmbled, and so did
Dan Mace. Death fetched EN-
with that dreaded weapon-kidney
disease. But they should have been
lively and drawn first. They could
have easily disarmed the monster
had they covered him with that dead
shot-Warner's safe cure, which,
drawn promptly, always takes the
prey. It is doubtless true that
sporting men dread this enemy
more than any mishap of their pro-
fession. and presumably this ex-
plains why they as \ rule are 50
partial to that celebrated dead
shot,
Redmond was right. No man
should surrender when attacked in
the back. He should draw face
about and proceed to the defence
for such attacks, so common among
all classes, will fetch a man every
time unless covered by that Won
derfully successful dead shot.
