oTTuMwA MAN APPOINTED.
Major Samuel Mahon Will Represent
Iowa at Cripple Creek.

Iowa at Cripple Creek.
Major Samuel Mahon has received a
commission from Governor Shaw, ap-
pointing him one of the Iowa repre-
sentatives at the Trans-Mississippi
Commercial Congress, which will be
held at Cripple Creek, Colorado, July
16 to 10. This affair was mentioned
at length in recent issue of the Cour-
Ter, and is to be one of the largest con-
ventions of its kind ever held in the
United States. Major Mahon is, to
say, the least, a practical, successful
business man, and his value as mem
Der of the commercial congress can be
readily recognized.

The Little Brown Wren,

There's little brown wren that has built in our tree
And she's scarcely as big as big humble bee
She has followed house in the heart Of limb
And made the walls tidy and made the floor trim
With the down Of the crows-foot, with tow and with
straw.
The cosiest dwelling that ever you saw.
This little brown wren has the brightest OF eyes.
And foot Of a very diminutive size
Her tail Is as trig as the sail Of a ship
She's demure, though she walks with hop and a
skip
And her voice-but flute we're more ft than pen
To tell of the voice Of the little brown
One morning Sir Sparrow came saunteriug by
And cast on the wren's house an envious eye
With strut of bravado and toss OF his head.
'Ill put in my claim here the bold fellow said
So s,raightway he mounted on impudcnt wing.
And entered the door without Pausing to ring,
An ns,ant-and swiftly that feathery knight
All towsled and tumbled in terror took fight.
While there by the door on her tayonte perch.
As neat as 4 lady just starting for church.
With this song on her lips. "He will not call again
Unless he is asked" sat the little brown wren.

interest was worth 81 100000 within
8 years, and the man to whom it was
offered is still examining patents at

Edison was telegrapher when he
made his first invention. He took it
to company on Broadway, New York,
and the manager told him he would
pay $4,000 for it and not a cent more.
The future Wizard was astoundel,
never having thought of receiving
such an immense sum. He feared the
check might be bogus and was sure OF
it when the paying-teller of the bank
refused to cash it otfhand. However,
when he secured Identification the
money was handed to him 1t was
the greatest day IN Eiison's life, AMI,
though he has received millions since
then for his ideas, he has never been
made so happy by subsequent snc-

Hugo Cook, of Dayton, Ohio, was
worker for wages in that city when
he made the invention upon which
one of the most efficient cash registers
in the market is based He receives

Westinghouse, who invented the
airbrske, was a mach,nist. His idea
was worth many millions to him
Gramme, Belgian, who invented
the ring dynamo, was a carpenter by
trade, employed in the making of
models for electric machines lie couli

keeps his eyes open There are for
