flies Sleep Willie and His
Whistle.

Few indeed would be their playthings
IL the Chinese children had to depend
on toyshops for them AS it is, the
hawker is familiar sight in every Chi
nese city, and when the children hear
the gong of a toy seller it is a signal for
a rush to the front gates. At call
these men slip the pole from their shout
ders and set their baskets on the ground,
and there is always group of children
ready to gather round them.
A display of toys carried by one of
these toy sellers includes many things
familiar besides kites made in the
shape of birds, fish, serpents, Dragons
and even inanimate objects, like bells
and houses, will have wind harps fasten-
ed on to make them sing while in the
air and will have eyes set loose in their
heads, SO that when the wind blows the
eyes will turn round and look as if they
were winking at you.
His paraphernalia also include lot
Of clay molds of different kinds of ami
mails or fruits or other familiar objects,
and for lone cash you can take your
choice.
The seller then opens up the bottom
tray in his rear basket and shows a
bowl of yellow sweets set over pan of
burning charcoal to keep them soft. He
rubs little flour in the molds to keep
the sweet from sticking. picks up lit
tie of the soft substance, which he works
into cup shape in his fingers and then
draws it out, closing up the hole. One
end is drawn out longer than the
other and then broken off. He places
his lips to the broken place and begins
to blow, and the lump slowly swells.
Then he claps the molds which you
have chosen round it and gives hard
blow, breaks off the stem through which
he has been blowing, opens the molds,
dips little bamboo stick into the soft
sugar and touches it to the side of the
sweetmeat figure in the mold, lifts it
out and hands it to you on the stick, all
in much less time than it takes to tell
about it. Pearson s Weekly.

The only contribution by General
Merritt to the literature of the Spanish.
American War is an article on 1.-THE
Fall of Manila, which he contributes to
the Youths Companion of July 9th.
The article is especially valuable for its

the Americans following the battle of

More than 900 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam whose name
was jeanne KoetIen, says the Lewiston
Journal She was peculiar child in
that she cared nothing whatever for
play and sport, but found her greatest
delight in making copies of things
about her, initiating IN wax every kind
of fruit and making ON silk, with col
ored floss. exact copies of paintings.
which were thought wonderful.
But after she had become very ac
complished in music, spinning and en-
broidery she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
rine views, flowers, animals and por
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for time quite
the wonder of Europe. She used white
papers for her cuttings, placing them
over a black surface, so that the mi
mute openings made by her scissors made
the eight and shade
The car Peter the Great and others
of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in Office vainly offered her /, 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The en-
press of Germany paid her 1000 forms
for trophy she had cut bearing the
arms of Emperor Leopold, crowned
with eagles and surrounded by gar
land of flowers. She also cut the en-
peror's portrait, which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A
great many people went to see her, and
she kept book in which princesses
wrote tl3eir names.
After she died, which was when she
had lived SIS years, her husband, Adrian
Block, erected monument to her mem
DRY and had designed upon it her por-
traits of these titled visitors. Her cut
tings We're so correct in effect and so
tasteful as to give both dignity and
value to her work, and constitute her
an artist whose exquisite skill with the
scissors has never before or since been
equaled.

HOW butterflies sleen.

Walking through field some evening
you may notice on the long Towering
stalks of grass what look like small
blossoms hanging to the sprays Look
ing more closely one sees that they are
butterflies asleep. Thus dozens of these
dainty creatures slumber until sunrise
announces that it is time to awaken.
One cannot but marvel at the in
stinct which guides the frail butterflies
to so safe and comfortable a sleeping
place, for should a storm arise the
slender grasses bend in the gale. and
the butterflies are rocked as If in aerial
cradles If the butterflies rested on
shrubs OF trees, d blow from a leaf flap
ping to and fro in the wind might in
jure them very seriously.
1t is also interesting to know that
when they settle down for a nap the
butterflies fold their wings tightly to-
gether that the bright colors may not
attract the attention of some hungry
bird with weakness for butterflies for
supper,

FIREBUGs BUSY.
Several Attempts Made by Unknown
Parties to Destroy the Little
Town of Calender.

The little town of Calender, situated
on the Rock Island, south of Fort
Dodge, was visited by firebugs. Shortly
after midnight the town people were
awakened by cries of fire and it was dis
covered that the large corn cribs of
Pratt & Co., of Chicago, situated on the
outskirts of the town, were ablaze. Men
were soon on the spot and vigorous eff
fort was made to extinguish the flames.
There is no fire organization in the
town and the fire was fought with buck
cts. While engaged in the attempt to
extinguish the flames the cry of fire
came from the heart of the town. The
private barn of A. Thorsrude was in
flames. There was a strong smell of
kerosene about the place. The gran
aries were abandoned and the fire in
the town engrossed the attention of the
fire fighters. The citizens thinking
that an organized effort was being made
to burn the town, organized posse to
patrol the streets and sent to Fort
Dodge for the fire company. The flames
were kept from spreading, but the
granaries, containing $4,000 bushels of
corn and other grain, were totally de-
stroyed. Almost certain evidences of
incendiarism have been discovered and
vigorous effort is being made to dis
cover the guilty party.

A NOBLE WORK.
citation Has Established a
Branch in Ottumwa.

The American Home-Finding associa-
ton, with national headquarters in
Chicago, has, during the past year,
placed i'll carefully selected family
homes an average of over one person
each week day, and the work is rap
idly Increasing, especially in Iowa. The
association has Incorporated in Iowa,

IN MERRILI,s TIME.
1t Vas During His Term as Governor
That the Board of Control
Principle Was Suggested.

The death of eXGov. Merrill, which
occurred in Los Angeles, Cal, few
days ago, brings to mind some of the
most prominent incidents of the recon-
stfuction period-the years immediate
ly following the close of the war, says
the Webster City Freeman. During the
war he was colonel of the Twenty-first
Iowa regiment, and served with dis
tlnctlon and honor. He had been
member of the legislature before the
war, and was known as man of high
personal merit and successful bust
ness man. In his administration of the
executive office, to which he was elect
ed in the fall of 1867, he practiced to
good purpose the business methods
that had marked his success in private
life, and his administration was one
of the most creditable and successful
in the history of the state.
In order to ''keep history straight"
and to verify the record, it can be
stated that it was during Gov. Merrill's
first term that the principle of state
control of our public institutions was
suggested. The member of the house
from the then SiXty-third district of
fered a bill for the creation of 'board
of examiners" which was favorably
reported from the judiciary commit
tee, and although supported by such
men as John A. Kasson, John P. Irish
and others of prominence, failed to
pass for want of time and proper con-
sideration. 1t was his successor, Gov.
c. G. Carpenter, we believe, who first
recommended the adoption of this prin-
ciple in message to the general as
se1nbly. Other governors subsequently
made similar recommendations but the
beginning" was during Gov. Melrill's
administration.

Why?

Otis declared few months ago that
he had all the troops he needed. But
the administration is determined to
send him 10000 more than he had
when he made his assertion.
Why?
Otis declared that he has broken up
the insurgent forces into predatory
bands, numbering from 100 to 500.
Yet Otis allows these predatory bands
to remain within a dozen miles of
Manila.
Why?
Otis says only small section of one
small tribe in Luzon is fighting Ameri-
can supremacy, yet Otis, with 10000
men, has been unable to whip this
''small section of one small tribe"
Why?
Otis refuses to let the correspond
ents tell the news or to write the full
truth of the situation in the Phil
ippines.
Why?
The administration claims that the
fighting in the Philippines is nearly
over, and that the 'insurrection" is
nearly quelled. Yet the administra-
ton is working overtime to get 10000
American soldiers landed in the
Philippines.
Why?
Otis is a self-confessed incompetent,
but he is allowed to bungle affairs in
the Philippines.
Why?
These are pertinent questions that
are being asked by the people, and it
will not do to answer them with the
cry of "copperhead" and "traitor. y

DEAL FALLS THROUGH.
Iowa Central Railway Are or
for the Present.

A report comes from Des Moines
based on the statements of an attorney
interested in the negotiations pending
between the Iowa Central on the one
hand and the Burlington and Milwau-
kee roads on the other, for the pur-
chase and division of the Central by
the Milwaukee and Burlington roads,
that the negotiations have come to
a sudden termination and that until a
better proposition is made by the Iowa
Central there is no prospect of sale
of the road. The price placed on the
Central is considered altogether too
high by the representatives of the two
trunk Lines reported to be DESTROYS of
securing the Central, and they declare
that it would be impossible to make
it earn fair dividends on such an in
vestment. 1t is understood that the
Iowa Central holds the property at
something over 10000 mile, or nearly
twice as much as it would be necessary
to expend to duplicate the road and
about $4,000 mile in excess of what
it is figured the property could be
bonded for,

APPROVE OF THE WAR.
Daughters of the American RevoIu-
ton Refuse to Sign Petition
of the Anti-Imperialists.

The Stars and Stripes chapter in Bur-
lington of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution having received COM
munication from committee of Cam
bridge (Mass.) women, headed by Mrs.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, asking
for signatures to petition to the pres
ident protesting against the Philippine
war and urging that it be suspended
at once, the society adopted resolu-
tons declaring the petition unworthy
of their attention and contrary to their
principles of loyalty and fidelity to
their country's honor.
The chapter condemns the action of
the Anti-Imperialist league as treason
able and inimical to the best interests
of the United States and of the Philip
pines and ordered the petition returned
with emphatic disapproval.

COMING HOME.
Soon De on the Way from Manila
to the United States.

The Fifty-frst Iowa regiment, the
last of the volunteer organizations on
duty in the island of Luzon, has been
withdrawn from Calulet to barracks
at Caloocan preparatory to departing
for home.
The number who will sail is so6.
Fewer than 300 of the regiment were
left on duty at the front when the or
der came for their relief, 4O6 being on
the sick list. This regiment has under
gone hard outpost duty for three
months, during which it has been very
much exposed to the rains. Seventy-five
members of the regiment have reen-
listed.
Although the Iowans participated in
some of the fighting between Malolos
and San Fernando, not one of them was
killed in battle. Thirty-nine members
of the regiment, however, were wound
ed and nine died of disease.
