sion in OttumWa.
A meeting of the board of directors
of the Egg Shippers Straw Board &
Filler Co. was held at the parlors Of
the La Clede hotel last evening. The
session was for the purpose of dis
cussing various matters of interest
concerning the industry, which has
grown to be one of the most impor.-
ant in the country. The mills of this
company are located at Tama, and the
present capacity of the same is 800
car loads per year. 1t is not the larg-
est straw board mill, but is the larg-
est filler factory in the world. The
Tama mills are not included in the
trust, and have caused the latter to
practically dissolve. The Tama mills
have been putting filters on the mar,
ket at one-half the price the trust es'
tablished, and at the same time real
lied a profit out of it. Those present
at the meeting last evening We're: j

each term, and is always ready to give
advice to the students.
Third, the faculty is composed of
picked men, with special training I'M
der the direction of DR.. A. T. Still for
teaching the science. In order to pro-
cure the very best talent this school
pays more than twice as much salary
for it's faculty, as any other Osteopath-
ic school in the world. The entire
time of the faculty is devoted to school
work, and that from an Osteopathic
standpoint.
Fourth, in no other school can such
complete laboratory and such sci
entific teachers be found for the in
struction of Osteopathy.
Fifth, many who have gone to other
Osteopathic schools have regretted
that they did not take course in the
American school at Kirksville, and
some have entered this school after
having graduated from others. Why
not start in the right school and be
right in the beginning?
Sixth, the American School of Oste-
opathy has more than three times as
many students as any other Osteopa-

A Dream That Came True.

Talking about dreams,'' said Mrs.
Smith as we sat around the parlor,
81 once had very strange experience.
I dreamed that L was just stepping out
of my house for q walk when a funeral
passed by. A man with a cap marked
nine and a red scar running across
his forehead jumped from the hearse
and, approaching me, asked, Are you
ready? No. L replied, and with that
/ awoke.
ga few months later l was stopping
in Chicago. 1 was on the top floor of
one of the big houses and just about
to step into the elevator when 1 re-
membered another thing I wanted to
buy. 1 stopped and looked through
my notebook. Down. exclaimed the
elevator boy, and then asked me, Are
you ready? No. L answered, and the
door closed.
''The next instant a great crash was
heard, and the occupants of the eleva-
tor were dashed to an untimely death.
''The cap of the boy bore the figure
8, and he had a red scar running
across his brow" San Francisco

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Our life in this world is partly what
we make it. There are many things
over which we have no control; that
are ruled by kind Providence, who
knows what is best for US. But the
manner in which we receive all dis
pensations of Providence is largely in
our own control. If we are self willed
and think we are right and every
thing and everybody else wrong, it is
much harder to see the silver lining in
a dark cloud. We are too apt to pine
for the blessings we do not have, for
getting to count those we are in pos
session of, by the proper appreciation
of which many blue hours might be
avoided. know some are more given
to wearing ''blue spectacles" than
others, and that such people find it
harder to overcomeHthe habit of COM
planning and fault finding, by which
they make themselves very unpleas-
ant to others. If we try to look for
the bright side we will be more able
to cheer others. I suppose the most
of us have noticed the difference in
our friends when calling. When one
who sees only the dark side has called
they seldom fail to make you feel al
m ost as themselves; but on the other
hand, when one of those bright CHEEKY
souls calls, how frightened and re-
freshed we feel-taking up life's bur-
den again with lighter heart. Let
us all look for the bright side.-Rural

A Natural LfEhthOus

Stromboli, one Of the Lipari islands,
has constantly and usefully performed
the function of lighthouse for at least
1000 years. Circular in outline, the
island eliminates in a conical shaped
elevation, due to past volcanic agen-
cy, which rises to the height of 5000
feet above sea level and is visible over
an area having q radius of more than
100 miles. During the day masses Of
vapor are seen issuing from a point
high up the mountain side, and at
night successive displays of red light,
varying in duration and intensity,
somewhat resemble those of the gigan-
tic f1ashlight on the coast. The flashes
last from under one to over 20 minutes,
gradually increasing to a ruddy glow
and as gradually fading away.
This island is referred to by several
very ancient writers as the great nat
ural pharos of the western Mediter-
ranean. Now it serves the same pur-
pose for the constant stream of traf
fic passing to and from the French
and italian ports in the CULTS of Genoa
and Of Lyons, through the straits Of
Messina, for which Stromboli acts as
a leading" light. To such an extent
is this the case that, although the other
principal islands of the Lipari archi-
pelago are marked by lighthouses,
nothing of the kind is placed upon
StrOmbOI.

Is it true. as declared by recent
writer, that zone rarely sees intimate
friendship between persons of the
same family? The members of most
families are friendly together in a
luke warm outside sort of way, but
there is no enthusiasm Or congenial
fellowship in this matter Of fact kind
of intercourse. They bear the same
name, and have a general interest in
one another's welfare, bnt in regard
to their mental and spiritual life they
are often utter strangers, perhaps
hold creeds and opinions entirely at
variance, their separateness being
CLOSED over with veneering of po-
lite disregard. We all desire friend
ship, sympathy, and congenial COM
partnership. We go through the
world looking for these things, and
sorrowing when we do not get them.
1t seems a strange perverseness of
fate that we find them so rarely where
there are SO many other pleasant
things which would make them still
more beautiful. "-Ecchdnge.

LADIES' COLUM III
BEING 3RANKFUL.

To appear grateful must be an ac-
quired art, or there would not be so
many persons who dole out their
thanks in manner that seems as if
they almost grudged having to give
thanks at all, says writer in Rarpers
Bazar. The little children are often
chided by their elders for their fail
ure to say ''Thank you," but do their
elders themselves always remember
to utter the speech Of gratitude?
Have not some of US way of &C
cepting favor as if it were our due,
by having received it? Even birth
day and Christmas gifts are occasion
ally tardily acknowledged, although
most of us have regard for the con-
ventionalities of life to write the note
which common politeness demands.
But it is in the home and with those
who love US best that we fail to say
"Thank YOU" The wife scarcely
thinks to speak the simple words
when her husband restores to her the
handkerchief she has dropped, or rises
and gives her the easy chair which
he has occupied until her entrance.
And how sadly often does the young
girl forget to express gratitude for
the numberless little things that the
patient mother does for her. It is
taken for granted that mother shall
neatly mend the ripped glove, or sew
the missing button on the shoe, or
put the ruching in the neck of her
daughters gown. The girl does not
say, "She is here to do these things"
but her actions speak as loudly as the
words could. In the depths Of her
heart, the most loyal mother must
sometimes miss and long for the
speech of affectionate thanks. 1t re-
quires so little effort to utter it.
Many of the amenities of life become
matters of habit. Would it not be
we'll for us in our homes to cultivate
the habit of saying "Thank you."?-

Look These Tp.

In many educational journals nova
days we see pronunciation tests, catch
words, etc, which may be valuable for
technical use and yet not being needed
every day in everyday talk are, like
certain folks l know, chiefly interest
ing on public occasions. l should like
to put down here a list of words that
IRE very generally misprOnOunced.
Everybody knows how to pronounce
them perhaps, but being such common
little things, mere street waits, with
unwashed faces, nobody takes the trOu-
BILE to speak them fair" Now, to
know what is our duty and fail to do
it is a much more culpabIe thing than
not to do it because we don't know
what our duty is. So here they are,
little, commonplace creatures, which
are mispronounced every day:
Toward, again, babe, brooch, april
cot, often, catch, hearth, aye, lien,
greasy, sew, scare, years, idea, area,
bouquet, ague, bleat, rise noun), arc
tic, shone, route, gaunt, canine, juve-

recess, romance, TRADE, essay, tarpau-
lin, won.
The above are in common use and Of
