 Many mean men are men of means.
 A lost opportunity seldom finds it's way back.
 No woman wants to be a new woman except an old woman.
 Sin may be ugly but it understands the art of beauty culture.
 A man seldom wears his trousers out at the knees praying for work.
 A woman has to purse up her lips in order to carry car fare in her mouth. The first step toward knowledge is the discovery that you are ignorant
 A divorced woman is entitled to the name of widow but she can't keep off the grass.
 Usually the peopls who make the most imposing show impose on others in or der to make it.
 Some people save all their sympathy until g. man is dead then they make his grave sloppy with their tears. A woman should never cease praying for her husband; it may not avaiD any thing, but it will keep her out of mis- chief.

American citizens in the island are In q state Of
restitution, suffering for want Of food ana med

districts OF the central and eastern parts.
The agricultural classes have been forced
from their farms into the nearest towns, where

kindly disposed, are unable to relieve the
needs OF their own people and are altogether
powerless to help our citizens,

Immediately available for use under the diTec-
ton Of the secretary Of state. 1t is desirable
that part Of the sum which may be appro-

An Iowa Cemetery Being Swallowed by the

Sioux CITY, Ia, May 1S.-SiRce the
Missouri river began to fall after the
rise of a few weeks ago it has been cut
ting banks badly on both sides be
tween Bismarck and Onawa, some dis
lance south Of Sioux City. Many land
owners on its shores lost their en-
tire farms. Recently the stream grew
weary Of this form Of amusement. and
in the search for novelty began
operations near Sloan toward short
ening its course By cutting across q
bend at the point in question. Directly
in its path is a graveyard % or SO years
old. Before any one knew what was
happening the cofius were tumbling
into the muddy current at the rate of
four or five day. as Roadway was
gained the number constantly In
creased, and had steps not been taken
to remove the bodies all would within
a week have started outward.
The custodians Of the ground
promptly notified friends Of parties
buried there that they would be IN
able to remove the bodies in time, and
that relatives would have to assist in
the work if they cared to save the re-
mains from the stream. Indications
are that the cemetery will soon be
swept entirely away.
