PAYING FOR A MEAL.
IL Was Worth . Shilling TO Pick
Those Bones.

InOo6 bOnco.
Colonel Ebenezer Sproat. Of Reyolu-
conary fame. was born and bred in
Middleboro. Mass. He was always
fond OF joke and was quick TO seize
an opportunity to indulge his popen-
sity, as the following incident. related
by DR.. Hildreth. well illustrates. His
father, also a Colonel Sproat. kept q
tavern One day while Ebenezer was
at home on a furiough three private
soldiers on their return from the seat
OF war, called for a cold luncheon
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants Of
the family dinner. which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt little vexed that the
defenders OF the country We're not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
diers, after satisfying their appetites.
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
er. He found her in the kitchen.
Mother" he said. how much is #
worth to pick those bonesY
About a shilling. guess" she an
swered
The young officer returned to the sol
diers, and, taking from the barroom till
8 shillings and smiling genially upon
them. gave each man one and with
good wishes sent them on their way.
Mrs. Sproat soon after came in and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers dinner.
In apparent amazement he exclaim-
ed: Money! Did l not ask you what
1t was worth to pick those bones and
you said a shilling? I thought II little
enough. for the bones were pretty bare,
and l handed the men the money
from the till and they are gone"
Mrs Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation Of her words and then
she. too, loved a joke. and so. after an
instant's glum look. she laughed and
said it was all right.-Youth's ON

TEACHERS AND MUSIC.

z
lSioux City Journal.l
Numerous pretty school "marms"
and their newspaper friends ali school
''marms" are pretty and newspaper
friends ex officio are worrying about
the passage OF a bill by the late legisla-
ture requiring that In the future ali,
school teachers shall be qualified to.
give instructions in the elements OF
ocalsmuslc. There are many excellent
teachers who have no ear for music
and who fear that their lack Of ability
to MARBLE effectively may prove a
to their advancement. AS a
matter Of fact. the bill in question was
drawn very carefully to avoid injustice
to any teacher because OF her lack of
musical talent. It provides only that
the elements of vocal music shall be
taught in the schools, and the teachers
will be required to pass examinations.
In which musical proficiency will not
figure. There Is provision that a
course in music shall. be Taught, IN the
county Institutes next summer, and as
the bill does not go into effect until
June 1. 1900, there should be ampla time
for any teacher to prepare herself to
pass the examination required. A spec
scial clause specifies that no teacher
shall be refused certificate or her
grade lowered on, account of lack OF
ability to sing. Altogether there seems
little likelihood that any school teacher
will suffer loss OF standing in her pro-
ifession because Of the new law, while
the effect in the future will be to make
prospective teachers pay more attention
to music as a necessary feature to their
equipment.

a NEW RAILROAD.
lDes Moincs Parties Preparing to
Build Thru Boone and Clarion 20

Northwest.
Des Moines, April 27.The Des
Moines & Northern Iowa Railway Com
pany has filed articles of Incorporation
and it is said by the men who are be-
hind it, who are prominent Des Moines
business men, that the new road is a
certainty The road is organized and
will be built for the north and south
line thru Iowa. 1t being stated in the
articles of incorporation that lit will be
constructed from the south line Of the
state to the north line thru Des Moines.
The incorporates are all Des Moines
men. They are Arthur Reynolds, presi-
dent OF the Des Moines National Bank.
who will be president Of the new road !,
& Trust Company. who will be its
treasurer; Nathan E. Coffin, of thelegal.
firm of Dudley & Coffin, who will be its
solicitor; j. H. Phillips, who will be itss
vice president. and I. K. Wilson, of the
Hawkeye Savings Company, who will
be its secretary. The company is in
.corporated for $4,000 but will be
bonded when constructed for $l2, 900 per,
mile of trackage.
The route of the proposed road has
been gone over by Mr.. Wilson and the
preliminary surveys will be made at
once and completed within sixty days
The company is said to have plenty of
money behind it and will ask for moth
ing but the right-of-way.
1t is proposed that the road shall
penetrate the northwestern portion of
the state. So far as outlined, 1t is
planned that 1t shall pass thru Des
Moines, Boone, Webster City and Clar-
ion, reaching further 10 the north. The
road will reach into one of the riches:
sections of the state and will to a GER
tain extent operate as coal road,
reaching from the southern part of the
state to a portion that has no coal. The
chief competition of the road in the
route chosen would be the north branch
Of the Northwestern which 1t will near
+ ~ parallel. The organization of the
new company is probabl for the pur-
pose of building the road north from
Dies Moines, which has been in contem-
plation for long time by diff erent par
ties and which has apparently had lit
| tie success in fulfillment.
Inregard to the proposed road Score
1 tary Wilson said: Il have been al
lover the route north Of here where the
lline is planned, and find that the people
are more than willing to do all hey can
to help it. There. is plenty OF money
behind the company and nothing will
be asked for except the right -of-way.
From the investigation that l haze
made that will be easily secured. The
route selected ncrth from here will take
the road thru a wonderfully good sec
I;tion of country, and we believe that ii
will be a paying investment from tbs
start. The preliminary surveys Will be
made at once and without Dragging
any about when trains will be operated
| ii is safe to say that work will be COM
menced on the construction this sum
