Dubuque and Her Early History.

Dubuque, the Frenchman, settled at
what is now the city bearing his name
In 1895, and in 1882, according to ac-
copied Iowa history, the first English
settlement was made at Burlington.
If Dubuque was settler in the true
sense of that word, Englishmen-of
the eastern Americanized species
settled in Iowa at least two years
before they did at Burlington.
In 1929 j. l.. Langworthy of YER
mont crossed the river for the purpose
of working Dubuque's lead mines,
known as the mines of Spain" but
was refused permission by the Indians.
In 1880, however, having been permit
ted to explore the country the year
before, he returned, accompanied by
his brother, l., II. Langworthy, Ii. f.
Landers, James McPheters, Samuel
Scales and Il. NJ. Wren. These gentle
men in June, 1880, erected an indie
pendent civil government, the first
establishment by white men in Iowa.

Kissed the Wife.

A lawyer tells a story of how he got
even with preacher. 1t was on the
occasion of his second marriage. After
concluding the ceremony the minister
took advantage of the privilege &C
corded him by custom of kissing the
bride. While SO engaged the lawyer
suddenly imprinted resounding kiss
on the cheek of the minister's wife,
who was standing Immediately behind
the wedding party. The lady was in
dignant and the minister asked for
an explanation. Coolly enough, and
in few words, the lawyer expressed
the opinion that it was a poor rule
that wouldn't work both ways, and
he had as much right to kiss the
preachers wife as the former had to
kiss the bride

The Heights of Kings.

In the resting pace of the old
kings of Denmark. the cathedral OF
Roeskilde, 81 recent visitor notes that
there is column against which a
number OF monarchs have been meas
ured and upon which their different
heights are recorded. One of them
is Peter the Great, and we learn by
this means that the shipwright car
measured no less than eighty Danish
inches, equivalent to something like
six feet ten inches in our measure
ment Only one other of the sover-
eigus was taller. and that was
Christian |. of Denmark, who, ac-
cording to this authority, was just a
trifle over seven feet English. The
car, Alexander I'LL, is about six
feet one incn and is about couple
of inches taller than Christian k
of Denmark, and about four inches
taller than King George of Greece,
neither of whom, nevertheless, is
what would be called a short man.

Extent of the Redwood Belt.

county, whore the heaviest tim Der Is
to be found, it is said that one might
travel nearly 100 miles in a straight

points these forests extend quite to
the ocean beach, but in most places

Natures Butter Factory.

Peat diggers at Cavendish, Strad-
more, Ireland, have made a remarka-
BILE discovery. At depth of nearly
twenty-five feet they have unearthed
a stratum of what appears to be pure
butter. The vein" varies in thick
ness from one to seven inches, and is
mon bar soap. Biologists who have
visited the locality of this wonderful
find say that it is simply layer of
mineral wax, but the workmen still
declare that ''indade, it's a bog of
butter" If the stratum proves to be
extensive it will probably be utilized
in the manufacture of soaps and
candles.

Asleep on q Parior Sofa,

Ike Girls Surprised the Young Man
Asleep ON q ParIor Sofa.
a very amusing story is told con-
cerning a prominent young Louis
vile society man who visited Chicago
during the worlds fair. He was
boarding at the home of relatives
while there, and, aslarge crowds came
hocking in during the last week, he
was so accommodating as to give UP
his room and sleep on a sofa in the
parlor.
One morning he oversight himself,
and, as his door was unlocked, what
was his surprise to find three pretty
Louisville young women enter the
room He had presence of mind
enough to roll under the sofa, and
back into dark corner, before they
threw open the shutters. But, al
though he had tucked himself away,
he had neglected to hide his clothes,
which were thrown across a rocking
chair. The girls saw the clothing,
but, believing they had been left
there accidentally by the lady of the
house, thought nothing about them
and began lively chat about the
matters of the day.
The young man did not mind his
imprisonment at first, but grew very
nervous as the minutes gradually
heightened into hours. He stood it
for two hours. but at last grew SO ex-
asperated that he thumped upon the
floor. and meekly put his head out
from under the sofa and asked the
young women to leave him until he
put on his clothes. 1t is needless to
say that their embarrassment was
great, and that none of them men
toned it while in Chicago, but, as the
young man has since recovered from
the shock, he has been unable to re-
strain himself from telling a few
friends of his awkward predicament.
