course, and Immediately began their
calculations as to when the happy af-
fair would eventuate. / was thinking
the same way, and really felt fiattered
that the young woman had selected me
out of all her admirers as the choice.
"She was unusually pretty, tall,
graceful, blonde as summer sky, and
with money enough to have made her
attractive even If she had been homely
as a hedge fence. Like all pretty
girls, however, so circumstanced, she
was coquettish and uncertain, and the
dozens Of admirers she had hanging
about her all the time did not tend to
steady her great deal. Twas the one
though of them all who received her
most marked favor, and in the course
of six months we became engaged to be
married. To say that / was pleased
when she accepted me scarcely ex-
presses it, and yet was not altogether
satisfied. Possibly it was her nature
not to satisfy the heart of man as he
would want it to be satisfied by the
woman who was to be his wife, but one
should not expect everything, and ac-
cepted the gift the gods gave and let it
go at that. At least, did for about
two months, and then bethought me
of plan to test the woman of my
choice. l thought l loved her. Possibly
/ did not. fancy some would say did
not, or would not have been in such

"Be that as it may, was determined
TO make test, and / did. In town
about hundred miles away lived my
half brother, who was not anxious to
have me marry the girl, notwithstand-
ing the material advantages of the
union, and he was willing enough to do
his share in making the test when
proposed it to him. She did not know
him at all, so when had him come over
to my town and took him to call on her
as Mr.. Hart, she had no idea that he
was any other than as represented. He
was handsome fellow, much hand
somer than was, and the smoothest
chap with women ever saw. He was a
fine brunette. while was red-headed
and nobody on earth woAld have taken
us for kinsmen. Our call was extended
until after IL o'clock, and when we
came away i had feeling that if it had
been anybody else except my brohter

FARMER AND PLANTER
FARMING POSSIBILITIES.
Difference Between the Progressive
Farmer to To-Day aud the Oi0
Time TiIler Of tile Soil.

Farmers, as a class, are the least
progressive people in our country. Inc
manufacturer, the mine operator, the
merchant, the railroad owner and
nearly all other business men are con-
stantly on the alert for new and I'M
proved machinery and methods in con-
Quoting their business, the application
and use of which, though often very
expensive, will increase the volume OF
business or decrease the amount OF ex-
pense to point which will not only
meet the extra expense, but Will yleid
an additional profit.
Progress is forced on the farmer to
a certain extent, for without 1t ne
could not hope to survive; but great
many of our American farmers refuse
to progress further than is absolutely
necessary. A farmer of to-day who
uses the crude and obsolete methods
of tilling the soil with homemade
farming implements can no more hope
to compete with his progressive nelgh-
Dor who uses up-to-date planting, cul-
tivating and harvesting machinery
than the colonial stage coach can COM
mand the passenger traffic OF our
country against the fast and progress
sive railway.
Too many farmers adhere to the
methods and traditions of generations
gone by, and seem to think that their
sphere is to raise everything they eat,
wear the commonest clothes they can
buy, send the children to the district
school during the winter months and
remain as they are. This idea Is an
erroneous one. The farmer is the
mainstay of our nation; he is the
| foundation upon which we build, and
he is entitled to all of the comforts,
lu,luries and pleasures that the age is
able to give. Yet he can only obtain
them by making the effort. Every
step forward requires an effort, and
| without this effort there is nothing
better in store for the farmer than he
| is receiving to-day. Modern farming
| is a business-a sciencc-and the
| farmer who studies and prosecutes his
business, who studies the science of his
business and who adopts progressive
| methods of farming is the farmer who
| will make success. Instead of spend
| ing much time on the streets of his
nearest village discussing the probable
| result of the next election, it were bet
ter that he was at nome studying the
| merits of some improved farming i'm
plement, or considering the adoption
| of some new method of far1ine
whereby he could produce more fol
less. When we think of some of ouI
own bluegrass farmers, or our Ohio
valley farmers or our western farmers
who look after their business an(
farm for profit, who live in homes thai
overshadow the average city home il
point of elegance, and who sell the
products of their farms for les'
price than the old-time farmers car
produce for, we see the possibilities o
farming.
| Farmers, awake, study your busi
ness, educate yourselves in your busi
ness, adopt new and improved meth
ods, progress. keep up with the pro
cession and in few years you will
command an influence that will b
powerful and immortal.--D. G. Young
in Farmers Home Journal.

the best and finest goods in grips or a

of the soloists stepping out of their stalls

there would be little trouble in filing

ONE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL.
Warren Amendment Locating One School
Many Lobbists Present.

Warren Amendment Locating One School
Many Lobbists Present.
The house committee on normal
schools met yesterday afternoon to con.
slider the normal school proposition as
amended by the house, and in connec-
ton with the amendment offered by
Representative Warren of Marion
county. The session was long one. A
good many interests were involved. and
the decision Was not easily reached
The committee had originally been set
up to report for three schools, and it
mad done so. Then the house amended
the bill to substitute one for three
schools, and following this, Represen-
taslVe Warren, tor the people Ut Knox
vllle, Offered the amendment 10 provide
That tie school should he established
by transforming the Industrial Home
Tor the Blind at Knoxville into nor
NAL school. With this amendment
pending, the whole matter was referred
back to the committee yesterday after
noon.
There was large attendance at the
meeting. and the result OF the discus
slons Was the determination to report
against the Warren amendment. The
Knoxville people were not discouraged
as a result Of the decision. The com
mlttee report is that the Warren
amendment be not accepted. and that
one, school bill pass, the site to be de.
lermlned after the bill carries. The
Knoxville people believe they have q.
chance on the floor of the house to Sc
cure the adoption of their amendment.
and if they fail there they still hope
that, on account of the very small ex-
pense OF establishing school there, to
win on the location proposition.
The normal school Hobbies are here IN
considerable force. Delegations are
present from Knoxville, Alpona. Storm
Lake. Atlantic, Washington, Red Oak.
Denison,, Ottumwa, Fairfield and Col
umbus junction. The lobbyists con
slider that there are still good chances
for the establishment of at least one
school, but outside Of those Immediate
ly Interested there is quite general
opinion the measure will not pass. No
body questions that it will be defeated
as to more than one school, and the
chances OF even that much are uncer-
tain, In case a cne-school bill passes.
there will be all sorts of combinations
among the towns, and the winning com.
munity cannot possibly be guessed in
advance. Atlantic, Algona, Denison
and Red Oak seem to lead, with Algona

Ultinatum to Mine operators.

Dies MONIES, Feb 15-The Iowa
Mine Workers association issued an
ultimatum to the operators association,
calling on it to send representatives to
joint conference today to fix scale
for the year beginning April 1, and
threatening that if the operators de-
dime to meet at this time the mine
workers will not come to later confer
ence. The operators say they will not
meet till thew are ready after the Hi
nois conference. Indications are there
will be no agreement this spring. The
miners adopted resolutions for and
against various bills pending in the leg
