HOW He FIXED 1T
Here's the Story; You Can Apply the
Moral Yourself.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Pray note how a good impulse and a
creditable action may put things all awry.
! The clock was fifteen minutes fast. It
was not in the least what one, would call
a sporty clock, but 1t was fast, and it re-
NAMED so for two weeks. AS it main
tanned a steady gait, keeping just SO far
ahead of Father Time this did no harm.
Everyone knew it was fast, and figured
accordingly. 1t was easier to do that than
it was to set 1t.
: But one morning the head of the house
hold became suddenly particular. He had
spasms of this sort occasionally and there
were never. any preliminary symptoms. He
demanded punctuality and accuracy in
everything, even clocks.
Outrageous! he exclaimed, after COM
pairing the clock with his watch.
This is what followed his sudden awak-
ening:
His wife was late at the matinee.
His son was late at school.
His daughter was late for her music
lesson
Dinner was late for all.
And added his wife, mother, who
intended to leave us to-day, was late for
her train. Did you foolswith that clock?"
why, my dear he explained, apollo
getically, 81 set it.
..Oh, you set it!'' she exclaimed. "For
two weeks we have been deducting fifteen
minutes from the time it showed, and
then you set it. You thought it funny to
play little joke on your children and
your wife, suppose. Your perverted sense
Of humor made you think it amusing to
trick your only son into tardiness!"
But, my dear
"Don't speak to me! II there is anything

LIVELY COMMENCEMENT
A Morningside College Interclass
- War Crops Out.

SIOUX CITY, IOWA.-Commenc
week at Morningside college has begun
with the graduation Of Misses Abigail
Blanche Baker, Nettie Belle Bartlett and
Florence Booth Davidson, from the elo-
cution department.
Last Saturday afternoon the senior
class brought a large stone from Akron,
Iowa, and set it up on the campus as a
memento of their class: That night the
juniors buried the stone five feet under
the campus and erected a gravestone over
it. The seniors retaliated Monday night
by digging out the stone, and, apparently,
hooking about $500 worth of the Junior
ANNALS. War is on in earnest now, and
commencement week promises to be the
most uproarious of the year. The faculty
has been aroused by a cantata to be given
by the Choral Union to might, presenting
j. A. Butterfield'ss "Belshazar.''' ~ There
are several scenes of drunken, revelry, and.
the orthodox Methodist faculty is greatly
worried. The young men Of the "preps'

The annual G. A. R. encampment of North
Dakota was called to order here this after
noon. The delegates began to arrive last
evening. The state meetings Of both the G.
A. R. and the Woman's Relief Corps are IN
session. The encampment continues until
Friday. The attendance is larger than for
year or two, because Of the greater con-
venience in reaching this city, and the local
members Of the order are doing everything
to make the visit of the veterans pleasant
one. There will be little other than routine
business to come up. The chief interest cen
tiers around the address of Commander-in-
Chief Torrance, who is to be here Thursday
night for the big campfire.-One of the indi-
cations of the change in the methods OF farm
ing in North Dakota is the great sale this
year of corn cultivators. A few years ago,
1t was the exception to see one sent out, but
with the addition of few head of cattle on
each farm the necessity of a corn crop be-
came apparent and nothing but the most i'm
proved machinery is used.
Early this morning j. e. Johnson's sport
ing goods house was burglarized. Sixteen
revolvers, eighteen shotguns and twelve rifles
were taken. The police attribute the crime
to a suspected gang that has been operating
in smaller towns in this vicinity, and goods
are thought to have been planted in Moor
head. .-

the Distribution of Them.

WASHINGTON, D. sC.-The Iowa dele.
CATION met yesterday TO decide upon the
federal omceholders in the state. The
present OtncerS were nearly all Of them
lndorsed, with the exception of the col
iectors OF internal revenue. Changes

which did not reflect upon the efficiency
OF the present officers. The slate as
adopted is as follows:

MI. Weaver. who succeeds j. M.
Kemble as collector for the southern
district, was chairman of the republican
state central committee and was orig
inally a candidate for attorney for this
district. MIR. Rumple, member from the
second district, made strong fight for
the retention of Mr.. Kemble as col
lector, but the position was given to Mr..
Weaver and Mr.. Miles was continued as
attorney. In the northern district, Mr..
Mcmillan at present attorney and Mr..
Patterson, the present collector, both
reside in Mr.. Cousins district and he
gave them both cordial support, but
could land but one. Mr.. Sammis, who
takes Mr.. Patterson's place as collector,
comes from the eleventh district and was
strongly Endorsed by Congressman
Thomas. He was a candidate for attor-
ney, but the decision of the delegation
was that Mr. Mcmillan should be re-
tanned as attorney and that Mr.. Sammis
should have Mr.. Patterson's place as col
lector. For bank examiner, northern
district, E. B. Shaw of West Union. who
was Congressman Haugen's candidate,

WASHING In THE. OLD WORLD
Corean Women Have Most to Do In
Cleaning Husbands Clothes.
Chicago Tribune.


The hardest worked washerwomen in
the world are the Coreans. They have to
wash about dozen dresses for their hus-
bands, and they have plenty to do. The
washing is usually done in cold water,
and often in running streams. The,
clothes are pounded with paddles until
they shine like a shirt front fresh from a
Chinese laundry.
The Japanese rip their garments apart
for every washing, and they iron their
clothes by spreading them on fiat board
and leaning this up against the house to
dry. The sun takes the wrinkles out of
the clothes, and some of them have quite
a .luster. The Japanese woman does her.
washing out of doors. Her wash tub is
not more than six inches high: She gets
the dirt out of the clothes by rubbing
them between her hands. She sometimes
uses Japanese soap, which is full of
grease, and works away with her bare
feet. The Chinese. girls do their washing
in much the same way.
The washing in Egypt is usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerwoman
stands naked on the banks Of the Mile and
slaps the wet clothes, with noise like
the shot of a pistol, on the smooth stones.
at the edge of the running water, and
such fellah women as wash pound the:
dirt out of their clothes in the same way.

Often Fails to Appreciate.

Meehan's Monthly for June. ~ !. ).
The general gardening public does not
always recognize that cultivation of the
soil is not alone for the purpose of keep
ing down the weeds and giving a good
appearance to the beds. Farmers harrow
their corn and potatoes when there is
not sign of weeds. Why? 1t keeps the
soil in a better. condition for receiving
and retaining moisture; it aerates the
soil, which is essential to the decomposi-
ton of plant food it contains.
Especially is cultivation necessary
around young and recently transplanteds
plants. The difference between the
growth Of cultivated plants and those not
so treated is often remarkable and ia
vors the former method. "a
The manner of cultivation is important.
Some men will use the hoe so that the
top layer Of soil is cut off clean and
gathered up with the weeds that have
been the chief object of the hoeing. The
surface remaining will be hard and
smooth-quite the reverse to what it
should be. Cultivation should mean
stirring of the surface, making it fine. If
this be done in loamy soil shortly after
rain, 1t will not break into large Jumps.
