STORIES BY AMY BRUNER.
JOAN OF ARC.

The captain did not for a moment
dream what sort of . woman he was
speaking to. She was small and pale,
and timid looking-she would sicken
at the sight of blood.
Are you sure you can take the boy ?"
he said, he is hurt worse than you
think"
Yes, yes, I'll 90 myself"
mo, there is danger"
But the woman was gone. The man
did not know that this pale woman was
a heroine. He did not know that she
heard voices strange to others ears,
that she saw spirits bending towards
her-why should she fear bullets, Why
tremble at the sight Of blood? He did
not know that the heart Of this little
woman was just as brave as that other
which beat to mad triumph beneath
the hammered corslet Of Joan Of Arc.

for many weeks.
When I began to know the city and
the people, heard often Of Cleopatra,
their queen. She was beautiful-more
beautiful than any mortal had ever
been. She had conquered the western
warriors by her loveliness when her
armies failed. Even now q new foe

queen. clad as il the eoddoss, sat on q
high throne raised aloft on q masnih-
cent barge drawn by white horses-
Priests offered sacrifices on an altar
before her, while about her was gath

which she was surrounded paled before
the glory Of her beauty. One glance l
had at her face. Then In amazement /
cried aloud: Meme hofrar' She
turned and looked At me. A puzzled
expression came into her face, but l
was pushed aside by the crowd and
could see her no more.
Now it was not many days thereafter
that the city Of Alexandria was BE-
sieeed by the western warriors who are
called Romans. The queens resistance
was hopeless- There came q great de-
feat and her chief ally and commander

On the morrow the Romans entered

She was embalmed and buried in a

Miss Rilla Phifer has returned from
Lime Springs to her home in Chester
to spend the summer.
Mr.. A. d. Combs was up from
Cresco last week planting a garden
preparatory to moving here in the
fall. That is right, Chester is the

Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis drove through
to Fayette, their former home, where
they sold their farm. They have pur-
chased a piece of land here.
There was a temperance lesson to
be observed here the other morning
about four o'clock. A poor drunken
fellow was seen walking behind
carriage trying in vain to say whoa,
the horse was walking along slowly
but the man was trying to walk all
over the lane so that he could not
catch his horse, finally he came to
plank walk which turned him in the
other direction, and he went on
mumbling leaving lis horse to it's own
resources. Such sights as these are
saddeniag. Why should men work
such ruin to both body and soul?

The republican state committee
held business session in Des Moines,
Thursday, and decided to hold their
state convention August Is, at Cedar
Rapids. Evidently they want short
campaign so as to not to be subjected
too long to the inevitable chagrin that
they will necessarily have to endure
when confronted with demand for
an explanation of their many short
coming. They let the word go out
that the anti-corporation element con-
rolled the deliberations and will
capture thes party this year, but that
is only a scheme to fool the people.
The party will in the future, as in the
past, be dominated by the enemies of
the people.

Mr.. John Kostka, living in Sumner
township two miles south of Protivin
was found dead in his bed last Wednes-
day morning at o'clock. Coroner
Gibson was sent for and upon going
to the residence found these facts: On
April 29th. or 30th., Mr.. Kostka went
to Protivin where some trouble be-
tween him and son by his first wife,
who was a blacksmith, arose. The
son attacked his father, bruising him
badly and breaking a rib. Mr.. Kost-
ka was taken home Saturday morning
and suffered until his death, last We'd
nesday. The Coroner's jury found
that his death was caused by the in
juries received at the hands of his son,
consequently the grand jury will prob
ably have some work to do in the
case.-Decorah Public Opinion.

PROTECTIVE .PLUyMS.

An intimation comes from Wash.
:ngton to the effect that the Presi.
dent has decided not to do much
towards distributing the patronage
until after the extra session of
Congress. The alleged reason is
that he does not care to distract
the attention Of the members of
Congress from the work of tariff
legislation.
Those who know the ways of
politics in the national capital see
better reason than this for with
holding appointments until after
the tariff bill is passed
Boss Hanna explained his desire
to go into the senate by saying
that he wanted to be in position to
do the best work for the republican
party and the Mckinley admins
tration. The pr sident and his
advisors are afraid of the senate.
They cannot count on Il majority
fol- protection, and with Mark
Hanna in the senate with full
hand of trumps in the way of Of
fetal plums they see chance to
play a winning game with the SEN
ators.
Mr.. Hanna and his presidential
protege are anxious to have the
tariff bill made to suit them and
promptly passed. They want it
made to please the Hanna syndi-
cate and they do not want too much
probing into the reasons for parti-
cular schedules. Senators are
human and are susceptible to the
seductions of patronage. They feel
that their political futures depend,
in a measure, on the liberal treat
ment Of constituents in the matter
of the Offices. In the position of
dispenser of the patronage, Mark
Hanna will be power in support
