Will +. Shields left Wednesday night
for Chicago to lease special sleeping
car in which the 5lst Iowa Band will
travel this year. Mr.. Shields was man.
ager of the band last year and this year
he and Geo. w. Landers, the bandmas-
ter, are equal partners IN the show.
which IN addition to the famous band
will comprise first class minstrel COM
pany. They open the season tonight
at Harlan, Iowa, and will be in Des
MONIES all next week at the state fair.
Filemon Shields the little PHILIPPINE who
was brought to this country and adopted
by Mr.. Shields, will travel with them
until Sept. 9th, when he goes to Kansas
City to enter school, his adopted father
having decided to give him tirst-class
education.
Monday was an unfortunate day for
Mr.. E. House, who lives in Eden town
ship. Mr.. House was the owner of very
fine Scoth collie which was well trained
and of untold help to him in caring for
the stock on his farm. He brought the
dog to Leon with drove of sheep Mon
day morning and the animal became
very warm. Some time ago the dog had
distemper since when he has been afflict-
ed with a peculiar twitching of his mouth
and side. The dog was in the rear of
Often 4 Wallace's meat market and Ira
Wallace noticing his peculiar ACTIONS
and looks hunted up Marshall Pryor
and informed him there was dog back
of the shop which had a fit and that
when he went out the door the dog had
jumped al him. Marshal Pryor went to
the shop and as the dog was still stand.
ing with his head against the screen
door he pulled his revolver and shot
him in the head, killing him instantly.
Mr.. House was naturally very much
angered at looslng the dog as it was
worth at least $50 to him, and Mr..
Pryor was equally sorry when he learn.
ed whose dog it was and that there Twas
nothing the matter with him. These
are very warm days and no chances
should be taken with mad dogs, but we
do not believe there was anything the
matter with Mr.. Houses dog. Still
under the circumstances ana after what
Mr.. Wallace had told him, we think MIR,
Pryor only acted az nine out of ten men
would have done. About the time the
the dog was killed Mr.. Houses tenn
which was at DIR. Gardner's barn get.
ting load Of corn, became frightened
and run away. They came up on Main
street and collided with an electric light
pole, demolishing all knthe wheels,
but the fine large team capped injury.

STEEL WOOL.
A Curious Material Used a. . sub.
stitute For SandDnper.

A Curious Material Used a. o Sub.
stitute For sandDaper.
Steel wool is q machine produced ma
ter!al that is used as a substitute for
sandpaper. 1t is composed Of sharp
edged threads of steel, which curl up
together like wool, or somewhat as the
wood fbers of the familiar material
known al excelsior curl up together,
though the steel wool is very much
finer, the finest Of 1t being not much
coarser than the coarsest of natural
woods. The steel wool is put up in
packages containing one pound each.
These are something like rolls of cot
ton batting. but smaller, a pound Of
steel wool. loosely packed, making,
rolled in paper and open at the ends,
a package perhaps Is inches long and
two or three inches in diameter.
Made in various degrees Of coarse
ness, steel wool is put to a variety Of
uses. the finer woods for polishing wood
and metal, and the coarser for rub
bling down paint and varnish. 1t Is
often used on special parts of work.
Willie, 1OI PFC OA II AhS
Of q door q man would use s%andpaper
with a block back of 1t; for the mold
ings he would use steel wool, which fits
into the crevices and conforms itself
to irregular shapes. Such work can
be done with steel wool far more readi-
ly and quickly than with sandpnper,
and it Is used with like advantage on
irregular and small surfaces and on
carved work.
Besides the steel wool there is q
coarser material Of the same kind call
ed steel shavings, which Is put to vari-
Gus uses, as in taking of old paint or
varnish and in polishing wood before
painting. and it is used on bowling al
legs and on floors for smoothing and
cleaning them.
Sandpaper clogs in use, steel wool
breaks down. The wool Is commonly
used with gloves to keep the ends from
sticking into the ingers.-New York

Why 10 Many Young Men Fail.

Why 30 Many Young Men Fail.
zone trouble with many young men
who start out in business Is they try to
do too many things at once" says Het-
ty Green. 1.-THE result is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about any one thing, and they natural
ly fail. The trouble with young men
who work on salaries Is that they're
always afraid Of doing more than
they're paid for. They don't enter into
their work with the right spirit. To
get on and be appreciated a young man
must do Roxe than he's paid to do.
When he does something that his en-
ployer has not thought of, he shows
that he Is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries to people
who will think of things for them.
The man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another is moth
ing more than q mere tool. Men who
can be relied upon are always in de-
mand. The scarcest thing in the world
today is a thoroughly reliable man."

For Years Wine II Drawn From 1t
to Celebrate Great Events.
All really excellent champagne is the
result of judicious blending. Time
was when each big vineyard owner
had his own cellar and his own brand.
But it has been found advantageous to
sell the raw wine to dealers, who make
one district supply what another lacks.
But there are still q few provincial
establishments that cling to the old
ways-crowning with q wreath Of flow
ers the first tubful Of ripe grapes and
keeping "the bride Of the cellar full
from year to year.
The bride, be it understood, is a spe-
cial wine cask filled with the first run
ming Of the press. More accurately 1t
holds the juice which drips away be-
fore any pressure Is applied. Wine
from it Is never sold, but used upon
high days and holidays. passed about
as q gift or devoted to the comfort OF
| the sick and the poor.
Something akin to the bride exists In
/ the German free cities. Each OF them
| has O wine cellar, and in each cellar
there Is a cask always yielding wine,
but never empty.
Any burgher Is entitled to demand q
bottle of it's contents when he marries,
when his first son is christened and
also when the son Is 81. If the son Is
adventurous or the burgher himself,
for that matter, he gets another bottle
from the cask when he comes home
from far countries.
But there is an official specially
charged to see that whenever a bottle
full is drawn out another bottleful o.
as near as possible the same quality a
once goes in. And thus 1t happens tina,
the city cask is never empty.-BostoI

character, unsettled in his ideas, alb
solutely ignorant of the first essentials
Of what consideration or love for a
woman means. He doesn't know him
self, let alone knowing a woman. He
Is full of fancies, and 1t is his boyish
nature to fit from. one fancy to an
other.
HE is incapable Of the affection up
on which love Is based, because he has
not lived long enough to know what
the feeling or even the word a
He Is full of theories, each one of
which, when he comes to put it into
practice, will fail. He is q boy pure
and simple, passing through that try
ing period through which every boy
must pass before he becomes a man.
| But that period is not the marrying
| time. For as his opinions of life are
to change, so are his fancies of the
