One feature of the ball game, Tues,

One feature of the ball game, Tuesday,
unintentionally omitted from the report,
yesterday morning, was the pitching of
the first ball over the plate by Mayor
Knauff. Prof. Rogers, one of the heavy
hitters of the Fat Men, was at bat and
swung wildly at the mayors drop. If
the ball pitched was fair sample of
Mayor knauff's delivery, it is safe to say
that he would have been success in the
box for the Lean Men.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1895-05-09
Force of Habit.

Force n habit is very strong with
some people, and there are persons
who never get over it. A story is told
of an Irish boy who had been employed
for a time in Dublin shoe store. Not
finding his work there as pleasant as
it might be, he resigned his position
and secured a clerkship in hardware
shop. One day an old farmer came
driving up with mule, and, entering
the shop, asked the lad if he had any
horsehoes.
II want 'em for this mule" said he.
81 guess we can fix you out" replied
the boy; what size do you wear?"

Hours of Farm Labor

1t is difficult matter to frame law
regulating hours of labor that can be
satisfactorily applied to all classes of
laborers. This is clearly shown in the
following remarks of the american
CWltiVatcr on the hours of labor for
farm hands.
In our Northern ATTITUDES the ten
hour, or any other fixed limit of the
hours of labor, can not we'll be
applied to work on the farm.
As an employee, who had years of ex.
perience in farm work, we'll remarked:
IF the ten-hour rule is strictly enforc-
ed, it will be at the disadvantage of the
workingman." That this is strictly
true is evident TO any one who, in these
short winter days. looks in any country
nelghborhood TO see how long work
early it closes at night. In this season
door work averages much more than
nine hours and often less. To do this
the noon meal must be hurriedly eaten.

Statement.

On the Goth day of March, 1885, tenant
house belonging to us, located near the
track of the Illinois Central railroad in the
north part of Independence, was almost
totally destroyed by fire. We had the
property insured in the Hawkeye Insurance
company, of Des MCines, Iowa, $500, and
to-day we have received a draft through
their agent, A. C.. Simmons. of indie
pendence, for $500, in full settlement of
the claim
We are very much gratifed indeed at the
fair and honorable treatment received
from the company IN settling this loss, and
we recommend the Hawkeye Insurance
company to any in need of insurance, as a
desirable company with whom to insure
