With most love affairs a romantic
element !s mingled.
Horace Greeley and Mary Young
Cheney were married the first day they
met. They had eorresponded for some
time. a mutual friend who was some
thing of a matchmaker having brought
this about. says the New York TeIe-
graph.
She was young and beautiful and all
his fancy painted her. but she was
much disappointed In his appearance.
50 much so that when he appeared be-
fore her, having proposed and been ac-
cepied by letter and the marriage day
fixed. she frankly told him that al
though she married him she was not in
love with him. Their married life was
long and happy. and the loss OF his wife
was a blow which he did not long sur
viye.
When Bismarck met Fraulein johanna
Puttkammer the second time he kissed
her sOundly IN the presence OF n num-
Der OF guests. The immediate effect of
this embarrassing and shocking behav-
Tor was the prompt announcement OF
the betrothnl. which was soon follow ed
by their marriage. Frauleln Puttkam-
mer was a bridesmaid for n friend the
first time Bismarck saw her. These
two young people. as ROsalin says, mo

looked thnn they loved"
Jefferson Davis first marriage was of
romantic character. Falling desper-
ately in love with Sallie Taylor, daugh-
ter of Colonel Zachary Taylor, who did
not approve OF the attachment. the
young couple took matters in their own
hands and eloped. Sixteen years pass
ed before "Old Zach" would speak to
his son-in-law, and then It was because
he and his regiment had covered them
selves With glory at the battle Of Buena
Vista.
With Henry NJ. Stanley. the explorer,

Mrs. Tenant perslstently refused to
consent to her daughters marrying.
Dolly Is all that l have left, and
cannot, shall not, part with her." But
to entreatles she finally yielded.
II want your daughter for my wife"
Stanley said; give her to me and do
you at the same time become my moth
er. father, brother and sister"
"She rs yours" replied mamma, land
so am l." That, In brief, is the story of
Stanley's wooing, and Mrs. Tenant is
his as irreparably and indissolubly as
her daughter is, and Mr.. Stanley is said
to be model husband and tractable
and obedient son.
Being told by friend that Miss Is
eyes possessed the property of double
refractlon, Sir George Airy, the noted
astronomer, exclaimed:
Dear me, that is odd. should like
TO see that. Do you think might ven
ture to call?"
AS he was treasured on this point he
took heart OF grace and called. In the
course OF conversation he asked per-
mission to examine the young lady's
eyes, TO which she consented. The call
was repeated in the interest OF science.
The problem grew so enthralllng that
he at length resolved to make 1t n life
study and finally .plucked up enough
courage to propose. He was accepted,
and this strange wooing laid the foun-
dalton OF many years Of happy married
life.

LIES NOlNES, ANIL Z0Q.
The average temperature for the
past seven days was from % to 40
above normal. The rainfall On the
18th and 18th was we'll distributed,
and quite heavy in the northern
and and eastern districts. There is
now abundant moisture for present
needs in all parts of the state, and
in some districts the excess was
sufficient to cause considerable de-
lay in completing the seeding of
oats and barley.
Generally, the conditions we're
favorable for field work from three
to four days, and the time was we'll
improved in finishing seeding,
planting potatoes, and preparing
ground for corn planting. Flowing
is now we'll under way, and there
will be large acreage in readiness
when the season for planting ar
rives.
The warm weather following the
copious rains was very favorable
for the termination of grain, and
the vigorous growth of grass in
pastures and meadows. In respect
to starting of grass and foliage of
plants and trees the season is now
fully advanced to the average. Fruit
prospects are very good. Pastures
will generally be ample for support

To Have Good Teeth.

All persons, old and young, should
have their teeth examined once every
six months by competent dentist.
Decay will be present and tartar form
ing which nothing but thorough ex-
animation will reveal. Professional
service rendered in time means high
class work, less pain and great econo-
my. A tooth filled when decay is slight
Will not be sensitive, the operation not
long and the filling lasting, because the
operator has more and better structure
to work on. He is enabled to make
the walls of the cavity thicker and
stronger and with slight danger Of ex-
posing the nerve. the dread and fear of
all when having teeth filled. Have
your teeth attended to in time Do not
procrastinate. Give the dentist good
tooth structure to work upon, and he
will render you excellent service. One

The Coming Sun Eclipse.

Eleven years have passed since
the last total eclipse of the sun in
this country; eighteen years more
are to pass before the next; conse-
quently the total eclipse of the sun,
visible in the United States on the
2Sth nf next May, being the only
event of the kind within period of
more than a quarter OF a century,
is to be regarded as of great i'm
portance. And happily the time
has come when celestial phenomena
have ceased to be the exclusive pos
session of few wise men. Popular
intelligence now extends to the
stars; and, while the reconcile
problems of astronomy are still lett
to the mathematical astronomers,
even children are coming to COM
prehend the general principles of
the movements of the heavenly
bodies.
Now, it is a remarkable thing that
the distances of the sun and moon
are SO proportional to their size
that usually the moon fits quite ex-
actly over the face of the sun.
Hence, instead of a transit or an oc-
culation, we have an eclipse; it
! never can last but a few minutes,
and in the present instance a min
ute and half is the limit of totali-
ty, for the moon hastens on and the
sun shines out once more. How
ever, for long time it can be seen
approaching and receeding; thus
the duration of the entire eclipse
will be about two hours and half.
AT Denver it will begin at $40 A. NJ;
at Milwaukee and Louisville at
about $50; at Chicago, Cincinnati
and Detroit at about 7; at Cleveland
and Pittsburg at about 7:20; at New
York at about $50, and at Boston at
aboutS.
But, while the eclipse can be seen
over the whole country, it is only
within a path of about fifty-fve
miles width that it appears as a
total eclipse; this runs from New
Orleans in northeasterly direction
across the southeastern states, and
passes out to sea at Norfolk. In
the Old World it touches at Portugal
and passes down into Spain and
Algiers, and ends at the Red Sea.
Outside that path the sun is only
partially obscured, yet throughout
a large part of this country the SUMS
face will be nearly covered.
Scientific men are making great
preparations to place themselves
within the path of totality.-Le slie's

EVERY HOME IN IOWA
To Be Visited in the Interest of the
Sunday School. The Third State
Canvass.

Friday, May, %, 1900, is the day
set by the Iowa Sabbath School
Association for complete house to
house visitation of the entire State.
This great movement in our State
was started in June, 1894, with C. C.
Wallace, of Des Moines, as leader.
BY our two canvasses it is reported
that seventy.five per cent. of our
counties took up this work. Among
the States Iowa was the first to take
up thorough and systematic
house to house canvass ofthe whole
state, upon a given day. We are
encouraged by the interest and zeal
manifested in this May campaign
and can now report forty-six coun-
ties in line, and more organizing.
All are convinced of it's value; it
carries the gospel to every one. Let
us stand shoulder to shoulder and
do all we can to make this work the
grandest and fartherest reaching of
any our State has yet seen. will
gladly answer any inquiries and
help in any way can to make this
work a grand success.
Yours for success,

Why Americans Win.


One of the many reasons why Amer
lean manufacturers are SO successfully
competing in foreign markets is to be
found in the following episode which
occurred recently: An American man
ufacturer of steam specialties was WIS.,
iting an English firm which made sim
liar goods. A certain article which
both firms made was under discussion.
''What is your price on this thing?"
asked the American.
well, in your money, about $19,"
replied the Englishman. "What does
it cost you!"
''I'll deliver at your door all you
want at 81 apiece" said the American.
Glow in the world do you do it?'
"Well, I'll illustrate" answered the
American. "Look out of that window
and across the street. See that man
painting a sign?"
Eyes"
"He's on ladder. isn't he?"
"Yes"
s'See that other man sitting on the
sidewalk holding the foot of the lad
der?"
Eyes,"
Nov. in America we have ladders
that stand up by themselves-don t
need a man to hold 'em. So, you see, in
this instance we divide your cost of la
Dor exactly by two"

Men, as a Rule, Are Fond of the Soci-
ETY. of Children


There's a very general idea abroad
In the land that men don't care to
board in Il house where there are chill
dren," said one Of the sterner sex yes
terday, but that is, believe, a great
mistake, just as 1t is an error to mag
Inc that men generally don't like the
little ones. No doubt there are few
crusty old bachelors In the world who
would be horribly annoyed by patter-
ing feet and shrill little voices in the
halls and on the stairs, but I must con-
TESS like to hear these noises, and
find by questioning number of my
friends-all young. unmarried men
that they do also. The children give a
sort of horny atmosphere that's very
pleasant to even the most comfortless
places.
Taking one thing with another,
believe men are fonder of children
than women are anyhow. What I
mean is that more men than women
are fond of them. l know plenty of
the gentler sex who wouldn't think of
going to boarding house where
youngsters were admitted, and know
Just as many men who seek out those
places and obtain Il certain amount of
comfort and satisfaction in their lone
ly lives in making friends with the
youngsters and spending valuable time

wonderful stories in which giants fig.

"a child's affection is very delight
full thing, and most men feel fiattered
to be the object Of even a mild liking

are half a dozen little ones in the house

A LUNATlc's IMITATION.
1t Lacked Finish and Got Himself
and q Thief Into Trouble.


A Paris correspondent tells an inter-
esting story of how shop thief was
captured recently at the Bon Marche
In circumstances that in all probability
are unique. One of the private detect
Ives in the pay of the establishment
noticed a man who, with the most
barefaced effrontery, was appropriate
Ing articles of every description. The
individual indeed seemed to make lit
tie or no attempt to keep his operations
secret. He simply walked from coun-
ter to counter and filled his pockets
with whatever attracted his fancy.
In spite Of the strangeness of the
mans proceedings there was nothing
to be done but to have him arrested,
and he was given into custody. His in
dignation was extreme. He protested
that 1t was most unjust that he should
be interfered with in this way when
other people who We're behaving in ex-
actly the same manner We're left un-
molested, and he pointed to a stout
gentleman of most respectable appear
ance who he asserted had been lay
ing his hands On all sorts of goods
without resorting to the formality Of
paying for them
The policeman to whom he had been
given in charge had been accustomed
to listening to unconvincing explana-
tons and took his prisoner to the sta
ton. few minutes later the stout
gentleman, also in the care Of a police
man, arrived at the same destination.
The detective, whose curiosity had
been aroused, had watched the per-
sonage and had found it to be true that
he was perpetrating theft after theft
with the utmost dexterity.
After short investigation he was
recognized to be an expert and notori-
Gus shoplifter, whereas the prisoner
first arrested proved to be a lunatic
but recently discharged from an asy-
lum, whose mania took the form Of
Initiating any person who might hap
pen to strike him. The professional
thief was beside himself with rage at
what he described as the bad luck Of
