THERE WAS NO CONFUSION.
He Had a Very Good Reason for Not
Going Into the House, Though
1t Wa 3 A, M.

The man was sitting on the front
steps of his house at three o'clock in
the morning as the policeman came by
and noticed him.
'Hello!" exclaimed the startled
guardian of the peace, what are you
doing there?" and he drew near eau
tiously.
Sitting here" responded the man.
'What are you sitting there FORE"
tits my house, and I guess I've got a
right to, haven't II"
"Oh, excuse me-" apo1ogized the po.
liceman, coming closer; II didn't recog.
nize you. What's the matter? Lost
your night key?"
mo-" very curtly.

ventured the policeman, taking anoth-

mo-" shorter than ever.

perhaps?"
No"
Sitting here to get cool before 60
ing to bed, hkeIy?" and the policeman
chuckled, for the thermometer marked
considerably below freezing.

"Are you" began the policeman,
When the man interrupted him.
Say. he said, "do I have to reveal
to you the sacred secrets of my house
hold?"
mo-" said the policeman, almost as
short as the man had said it.
do Ihave to communicate to you nv

"Do I have to tell you that nv wife

Iiceman.

"yOu go on away from here and attend
to your WI business. I'll sit here till

and the policeman, thoroughly abashed,

look after, and their grazing ground
covers 10000 acres. About half Of it
is infested by prairie dogs, and they
have become destructive and omnivor-
Gus, and are multiplying like the rab-
bits of Australia, and so this fall the
owners declared war upon them. They
mixed 500 bushels Of wheat with 100.
pounds Of ~strychnine and scattered it
around their little funnel-shaped
ground holes, and it efectually de-
stroyed them. Just think ofit-strych-
nine costs S1.75 an ounce, or about S25
a pound, and that made So, 500, besides
the cost of the wheat. These cattle
kings do things on a big scale. But It
does look cruel and selfish to extermi-
nate such pretty, innocent little crea-
lures. I wish the children could see
them. They are about as large as fox
squirrels, and look like them, except
ing the lack Of a long tail. They bur-
row in the ground and make tunnels
that communicate with their different
homes. They throw up little circular
rims or banks around their holes like
the ants do, and you can see them
from the train, perched upon Che tops
of the rims like little sentinels, and
suddenly they pitch down in the fun
mel like boys jumping off a spring
board into a mill pond.
There were some clever, good-na-
tured Michiganders and M~ichigeese at
my house not long ago, and we were
asking conundrums, and no onG was
to ask a question that he or she
couldn't answer when it was given up
by the rest of the party, and SO Iasksd
a lady how a ground squirrel dug hts
hole in the ground without leaving any
dirt around the top. When they all
gave it up, I said: "Why, he begins at
the bottom "But how does he get
there?" she asked. THAT is your ques-
tion," said I, land you must answer
it," My next conundrum was, why is
it that when you hold up a guinea pig
by the tail his eyes will drop out?
The ladies all wondered and asked if
it was so. Certainly" said I; ait is a
fact, but the trouble is that a guinea
pig hasn't got any tail" OF course l
put in these little jokes for the chill
dren. They are writing to me now;
every mail brings letters wanting COM
positions or some help to write them,
for school will soon be out. l wish I
had time to help them, but I haven't,
and I don't know what they will do.
My parents used to help me, and I got
along pretty we'll, and I have helped
our children. It is an awful task, but

a letter from her, which says: II

and am enjoying better health now
than 1 have for some years. I attrib-

Ready for a COmprOmiHe.

The Congregationalist says that Cd
the v Of the battle of Bull Run a
number Of senators and representa-
tives went down from Washington to
see the confederates run. And when
the co~nfederates began 70 run after
the panie-stricken union army the
valiant congressman ran in advance
for the capitol. One Of them, arrayed
in a linen coat, ]corpulent and perspir-
ing, glancing backward saw a zouave
coming and misto6k him for a con-.
federate. Suddenly he tripped on a
root and fell headlong. The zouaye
fell on top of him. Unable to look
around but believing himself in the
hands of the enemy, he shouted: 'My
Godl can't this thing be compromised
somehow"

CDR, Hartman:
Dear Sir-Pe-ru-na has been my
salvation. It has given me back a
beautiful voice, a gift of God; it has
brought me once more to my old pro-
fession. I can talk now, and sing.
where before, I could scarcely .whis-
per. Can you wonder at my delight?
1 wish every person who is suffering
as I suffered might know Pe-ru-na.
Only those who have been afflicted
cal ever know. the intense satisfac-
ton and gratitude that comes with a
complete cure. My voice was com
pletely gone. April Is 1 felt so elatcd
over the restoration of my voice that
I inserted an advertisement in The
Star for vocal pupils. The advertise
ment, which cost me 65 cents, brought
me five pupils, and that was the be-
ginning of my present large class.
Yours gratefully,

YOUR OLD MAGAZINES WANTED.

since us organization IN the spring
little has been heard in the public print
of the Iowa library commission but
at work in the cause for which ii was
organized. the encoura cement of IL
brary work in Iowa. Several meetings
have been held, an experienced secre-
tary appointed and plans laid for sys-
tematic work. The first important
public announcement is contained in
circular just sent out TO Libraries, wp-
mems clubs and newspapers stating
that the commission will act as mag
azine clearing house for Iowa
1t 10 the purpose of the commissioner
establishing this clearing house II heip
the libraries of the state in building VI
reference collections of mas gaines. III
the attics and store rooms of tins
houses of Iowa are numbers of volumes
OF magazines which are little more than
rubbish in their present condition. but
could be of untold value to struggling
libraries. The circular urges that a
systematic collection of these periodi-
Gals be made in every town and offers
to pay the freight on every box OF
magazines sent TO its secretary at Des
Moines. In towns where libraries exist
the magazines may be taken to them
and forwarded by the librarian IN onF
shipment.
Al the clearing house these maya
zines will be arranged into volumes and
will be forwarded TO struggling III
braries at a cost to them of transporta-
ton only. Any library needing feH
odd numbers to complete a volume may
secure same Of the commission at no
cost save the transportation. An
abrid cement Of Pooie's index to maya
zine publications has also bean mace
for the commission and will be sent Il
Libraries at small cost
The plan is grand one. 1t has beer
worked successfully in other states and
can be Of great assistance to snall IL
braries in Iowa, as the periodical pub
locations OF the last fifty years offer a
wonderful work Of reference. Every
family in Iowa should endeavor It
make some slight contribution Of Ole
magazines to the commission, even if s
10 only cracker box full. Yours may
be the very numbers some library is
seeding to complete volume and
when onoe on its shelves will be Of use
to thousands Of people for hundred
years to come. Such practical work b,
the commission Will greatly advance
the free public Libraries of Iowa.
