EIGHTEENTH ANNIVERSARY.

The beautiful home of Constable
Chas. Stewart on Twenty fifth street
was the scene of a memorable and
delightful event last Monday evening
The occasion was the eighteenth
anniversary of their daughter Bessie,
who is well known and universally
loved, She has long been a resident of
Des Moines, having been educated and
grown to womanhood IN our midst.
With her eighteenth anniversary and
the party given by her parents marks
the young lady's debut. 1t also gives
evidence to the fact that a young lady
of education and accomplishment has
become a valuable annex to Des Moines
society
The home was most beautifully
DECORATED with roses and chrVsan-
themums and all within presented a
scene of brilliant splendor. When one
entered the door the first persons
beheld were the family circle neatly
grouped together and presenting a
picture of contentment and happiness
Miss Edith Birney also assisted the
family in entertaining The scene was
indeed lovely one. little Charles. Jr.,
held in his fathers arms, lending
additional beauty to the quintette.
The dining room was neatly arranged
and the genial c. c. Lewis served those
present with escoloped oysters, coffee,
ice cream, cake and fruit. After all
had dined they repaired to the parlors
where singing, instrumental music and
social conversation occupied the remain
ing time previous to the departing OF
the guests.
The presents Miss Bessie received
were numerous and valuable. not in
price alone, but as tokens of the high
esteem in which she is held. As a
young lady she is worthy of the esteem
in which she is held, as her affable
ways and her observance of the golden
rule are exemplary.
May the future be as bright and
cheerful as the present. All congrat-
Mate this family and bespeak for then
many years of happiness, and the
debutante many years of usefulness
and comfort to her many friends ano

AN AID TO MILKING.
The Coilegian's Advice to His Tathe!
Which Resulted Disastrously.

The Coilegian's Advice to His Tatheh
Which Resulted Disastrously.
A college student in one of our West.
ern states had returned home after
his course was finished to find that
his father; clergyman with a small
salary, was eking out his living by
running small farm. One of the
adiuncts of the farm was a COW, a
pretty good animal. which, however,
had strong aversion to being MIXED.
Here was an opportunity for display
Ss the lately acquired knowledge OF
the juvenile collegian, says the Voice.
.'Father." said he, Professor c.
SAYS if one will place weight upon a
cows back it will make her give down
the milk"
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor
C, decided to try the simple
remedy. Instead, however, of placing
weight upon the cows back, the
clergyman placed himself upon it.
But then he answered the purpose.
The cow, however. was still obstinate.
Tie my legs under the COW" said
the father to his son.
The son did so. But the COW, UNI
used to such unusual and arbitrary
proceedings, manifested her displeas-
ure by rearing and plunging. entirely
unmindful of the dignity OF the per-
sonage astride her spinal column. 1t
was getting altogether too interesting
for the two bipeds concerned in the
| transaction,
s.Cut the rope! Cut the rope!'
shouted Mr.. V to his dutiful son,
meaning the rope by which he was
attached to the COW.
| But the son, being somewhat ex-
cited, cut the rope by which the COW
was fastened to the stanchion. At once
availing herself of the liberty thus
offered, the COW took an unceremonious
| exit from the stable, and down the
! street she went. The minister accom-
! panied the COW, but in a manner not
exactly BETTING the dignity of his pro-
fession.
AS it happened, one of the sisters OF
the congregation was on the street as
the race was in progress. Surprised
at such sight the good sister cried
out: why, Brother V, where
are you goine?"
His sense Of the ludicrous coming tc
his aid, Brother V shouted back
1.-The Lord and the COW only know,
don't!''
The clergyman was eventually res
cued from his awkward perch, anc
never attempted the feat again.

historians are now in existence which
describe a country called Fu-Sang, Wis
tied by Buddhist priests about A. D.
500.
The accounts of the people, products,
etc. of this flowcry land show it to be
Mexico. The same yoyagers brought
home reports OF a fog-bound country
which. so it is supposed, was Alaska,
Maps exist in China over n thousand
wears old in which the coast-line OF
America from California to Alaska is
vaguely indicated
De Guignes holds that America was
first peopled, ages before the visit OF
the Buddhist priests, by Arcatrls, who
passed across TO Alaska by boats OF on
the ice. during long winters. AS a
proof of the ready communication be-
tween the two continents, he cites an
account from Charleyoix OF the mis-
sionary Pere Grcllon, who preached IN
the wilderness of the Northwest and
was afterward sent to Tartary. There
he met a Huron woman whom he had
known lii Canada. She was u slave to
Cinnamon who had brought her across
Behring Straits.
Every schoolboy is now familiar with
the proofs that Erik the Red crossed
from Iceland to Greenland in A. ID.

visited the Southern coasts.

A Game OF Checkers Did It.

Pavd Brooks was manager OF the
Pittsburgh office when a boy named
Andrew Carnegie was n messenger IN
ii at Il salary of S3 week. lie had
Just arrived with his father and mother
from Scotland the land OF his birth
That was little more than thirty-slN
years ago, yet to-day he is the famous
millionaire ironmongcr OF Pittsburgh.
Andrew Carnegie has said: Il owe
my rise in life to a game OF checkers.
/ will explain to you what that remark
means. The elder Carnegie was II
molder IN a pottery. Like many
Scotchmen he was very fond of playing
checkers or draughts. In Pittsburgh at
that time was a we'll known ale-house,
in one room of which those who loved
to play checkers were wont to assem-
bic. Among them We're Carnegie and
Brooks. and in this way the two men
become acquainted. Carnegie's son
also came there at times with his faith
er, and he, too, tested David Brooks
proves at draughts. One day the cl-
der Carnegie remarked that he did not
know what to do with his son. s.Send
him down to my office and | will make
a messenger boy of him, said Mr..
Brooks. The next day he began his
new employment. The lad was IN
telligent and industrious. Manager
Brooks had an old telegraph instru-
ment fitted up in the office. and when
the messenger boys We're pot engaged
he showed them on this how to tick out
the Morse alphabet. With this in
struction young Carnegie soon became
a skillful operator.
Thomas A. Scott was ut that time
superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in Pittsburgh. He had tele-
graph instrument rugged up in his office
and wanted some one to manipulate the
KEY. Manager Brooks recommended
Young Carnegie, and he was employed.
He showed such aptitude in managing
the movement of trains by telegraph
that lie was transferred to the superin-
tendent's Office in Altoona. There he
continued to attract the attention q
| Thomas A. Scott, and was rapidly
pushed along. He was given opportu-
mites to engage in some coal and oil
speculations that We're successful and
afterward made money from the first
sleeping ears that were built. Now, as
/ have said he is the millionaire iron,
monger Of Pittsburgh, and the same
canny Scotchman. who. when Col
Scott was financially embarrassed, was
