and we managed to catch them
and coop them, and 50 we had
couple for the dining. They were
round and fat and beautifully roasted.
There were twelve good lady women
or womanly ladies at the table besides
my wife and one man. I was that
man.
The prophet Isaiah tells us of q
time coming when seven women shall
take hold of one man, but there were
thirteen after me, and felt as meek
as Moses and as humble as dead In
dian. I got along pretty we'll, though,
considering age and infirmity, and
stood by my colors until the strawber-
ries and ice cream were served, which
was, believe, the fourth or the fifth
course, and then I heard the door-bell
ring, or thought I did, and left the
festive board. These swell dinings are
hard upon me, and upon the children.
Two dear little granddaughters had
waited and waited and peeped through
the crack of the door dozen times,
and when Invent out one of them said,
"Grandpa, amt they done YETI" II
reminded me of the old Scotchman
who got tired of waiting for his wife
to come home from meeting-so he
went after her-and, as she was nea,
the door, he tiptoed in and whis-
pered. "Ain't he doom yit?" eyes,
said she, che be doom some time, but
he won't quit" My old friend, Eu.
gene Harris, says he has watched the
Methodist preachers at his mothers
house during quarterly meetings
watched them through the crack of the
door until they had eaten the last giz
card in the dish, and then they would
sit and sot over their coffee for half an
hour, and at last get up and say amen
and amen and pat their stomachs and
go, and then, and not till then, did We
boys get chance at what little was
left.
And our little orphan grandchild
had birthday yesterday. She rose
up to nine years and gave little out
door party to her little cousins. Ev
erything was homemade, and it was
nice, and I was invited and enjoyed
the cake and ice cream and strawber
ries as much as they did. And SHIT
got some nice little presents from home
and abroad, and I believe that if ha6
my way she should stay as young ant
pretty and happy and innocent as sh'
is now all the rest of her days. But
reckon that couldn't be did-could it

The WAYS of ChiIdhood.

Great are the tribulations of moth
erhood. A member of the Mothers
Congress was asked by her good little
six-yeaf-old to lend him her large scis-
sors. They weren't convenient at the
time, and, against his protest that he
couldn't use the little things, she gave
him her small embroidery scissors.
The next day when she wanted them
she asked for them, and he, turning
very red, left the room. In ten min
utes he returned and gave her four or
five fragments of the original article.
He said in explanation: II told You /

Granger and Florenceyille

Are waiting impatientlv for A. D La
Due and his branch OF the Great Wes-
tern railway that will leave the main
line at or near Kasson, making Gran
ger and Florenceville, thence passing
south to intersect the main line in the
vicinity of Oelwein or Waterloo. Such
line if built would make Cresco, and
and probably run on the old Daven-
port and st. Paul grade till into the
northeast part of Chickasaw county,
thence bearing west of south, reach
the main line as above suggested.
There is no more lovely spot for a
town in the two states than are found
in the valley of the Iowa, where these
two towns are located, and no coun-
try can boast of better farm land, or
of more Intelligent and Industrious
farmers, than those who till them.
The merchants of the two towns are
John o. Jones and r. R. Wickham,
dealers in general merchandise; D. H.
Hunt, drugs and medicines: Danl
Wheeler, Hardware. Its harness max
er is z. f. Brink; there are two black
smith shops and comfortable public
house kept by John Martin and ably
presided over by his better half.
The merchants all carry good stocks
OF seasonable goods and seem to have
a good trade.
We noted the spirit of progress and
Improvement prevalent all along the
route, in newly painted buildings and
nicely trimmed lawns: w. o. Arnold
is entitled to credit for cleaning out
the brush along the highway which
made his farm look untidy. The job
is good one and can be proftably
initiated by few others along the
route to Granger.

VIM. 3. BAKER DEAD.

One of the Oldest Residents of the County
Passes Away.
AT 3:45 o'clock Monday morning, at
the home of his son A. G. Baker in
this city, occurred the death of Mr..
VIM. B. Baker, at the age of 80 years.
Wm. B. Baker was born Aug. 4,
1906, in Cornwall, Mattison county,
Vermont. When twenty years of age
he moved to New York, engaging in
the lumber and iron business. At the
age of thirty-three years he removed
to Crown Point, N. Y, where he was
very active in business relations.
About this time he was united in
marriage to Miss Famelia w. Clark.
of West Point, N. Y. They remained
in New York state until 1858 when
they came west to Garnavillo, this
state, where they remained year,
settling near Castalia in 1859, where
the prime of their lives were spent
together, Mis-. Baker passing away in
November, 1887. Mr.. Baker came to
DEBORAH last November, and has
since lived here with his son. Six sons
were born to this couple, all Of whom
are living, viz: H. A. and A. D., of
Sioux City, Iowa; g. R., Of Ridge
way; F. H. and A. c., OF DEBORAH;
and E. w.
During his active life Mr.. Baker
was prominent citizen of this coun-
ty. He was always at the front in
projects OF advancement in all lines;
was a county Supervisor in the early
days, and was member of the
legislature from this district during
the war. He was consistent men,
ber of the Congregational church
since young man, and was one OF
those men who always attract the
esteem of all with whom he comes in
contact. The funeral services were
held yesterday afternoon at five
O'Clock from the holne of his son,

Mrs. Gilbert Avery has returned

We believe the anthor of this little

an amen:
Oh, could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground
Without the yillage-tattling;
How doubly blest that spot would be
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
of gossips endless prattling!
oh, that the mischief making crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red OF blue
That everyone might know them.

goods almost every day.
DR.. Trenbeth, of Cresco, has been

Mr.. Joseph Kostka, our blacksmith,
has been arrested and placed in Jail
and fined So. The charge against him
is not known as there is no record of
trial anywhere.
This southeast section of Howard
county enjoys the reputation of being
the most productive part of the coun-
ty not only on account of soil, hut on
account of labor applied to it by a
class of people whose motto is work,
work, work.
Our Spillville neighbors are in u
high state of trouble over the matter
who shall be priest in the Roman
Catholic Church. Rev. Kajdousek,
the present priest, received his walk
ing papers from the bishop and
another priest has been sent over to
take charge of the congregation
although 95 per cent of the congrega-
tion are in favor of the one discharg-
ed. With this great majority they are
unable to reinstate him, as a result
quarrels and fights are Of frequent
occurrence, and the town corporation
with its officers is unable to preserve
peace. A great many citizens OF
Spillvllle are purchasing property il
other towns and will move away tc
avoid this trouble.
Mr.. Charley Kopenda has gone to
Prairie du Chen. Charley has beer
engaged in the manufac ture of boots
and shoes in our town for the las
two years and has been considered
nearly as good shoemaker as ther'
is in town.
