How the Peppery Actor Squared Ac-

Many years ago Edwin Forrest, the

friends and that the little group would
sit together at one cable. On one oc-
casion it CHANGED that an Englishman
with a reputation for conceit and i'm
pertinence, who had scraped acquaint-
ance with the tragedian, was one of
the group.
Early in the course Of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms
which he considered pleasantries about

PAST HIS FIRST YOUTH.
A Fowl That Was Hardly to Blame
For Proving Tough.

The swan is said to be excellent eat
ing when young. but as it is one OF the
longest lived of all creatures it is well
to learn if possible how old your bird
Is before you cook it.
A gentleman in Lincolnshire, Eng
land, sent dead swan to the Athena
um club, addressed to the secretary. A
special dinner was to occur that week,
and the committee without question
turned the bird over to the cook.
at the dinner the swan, resting on
great silver dish, was a delight to the
eye, but when it came to carving and
eating the bird no knife seemed sharp
enough to cut it, and of course eating
it was out of the question.
A few days later the donor met the
secretary and said, 81 hope you got my
swan all right"
'"rhat was a nice joke you played on
u.s." returned the secretary.
"Joke? What do you meanT
"Why, we had the thing boiled for
thirteen hours, and even then we
might as we'll have tried to cut through
the rock of Gibraltar"
"You don't mean to say you had the
swan cooked!'
"Why, of course"
"Man alive! l sent it to be stuffed
and preserved as a curiosity in the
club. That swan has been in my fami-
ly for $50 years. 1t was one Of the
Identical birds fed by the children of
Charles 1. You've seen the picture Of
it. My ancestor held the post of mas
ter Of the swans and keeper Of the
kings cygnets.' Well, have no doubt
it was bit tough"

A WINDY WE'LL.


The neighborhod of Payson, Adams
county, Illinois, is all excitement over
a strange phenomenon on the farm of
Isaac Groves. About year ago Mr..
Groves had a well drilled on his farm
and at depth of somthing more than
100 feet fine flow of water was reach
ed. To thus strike aqua pura so readily
and in such abundance made the owner
feel satisfied that his labor and outlay
of many had been Well rewarded. His
neighbors, too, felt good over it deem
ing it a streak of luck at that time on
account of the drouth. A pump was put
in which worked like a charm and Mr..
Groves had what he supposed to be one
of the best wells in the country But
last week the water supply suddenly
stopped and in place of the water cold
air began to shoot up, and it still shoot
ing up, and with sufficient force to lift
mans hat off his head. A roar like
the wind Is distinctly heard, but the
vibration in the pipe sounds like that
made by water No one so far has been
able to explain the phenomenon, and it
it is attracting much notice.

cattle and hogs: they will by mid May
have laid off 1900 men in the Chicago
stock yards. Instead of being thing
to fear, the alleged beef trust appeals
for pity. as half the population has
stopped chewing their tough steaks.
And, then, the butterine law hit that
so-called trust an awful blow between
the eyes. Pity the sorrows of the poor
old men who make up the beef trust!
Whatever it may be, it is no longer a
boyle.
1t is probably the same in the case
of the other alleged trusts. We mag
Nifty them, looking at them thru our
fears. We are not dead yet. And if
we live till trusts kill us, We'll finally
have to die of extreme old age, our eyes
and teeth gone, and forced to gum it.
The plain moral of it is, don't be
scared to death Die, If you must, but
OF something more respectable than
fright. And don't yelp, either. before
you're hurt. A beef trust can't harm
anybody but itself, and sugar trust
has not hurt you--yet. And, surely,
will not hurt you by cutting the price
of sweets cent a pound.

THE PEOPLE FOR TARIFF REVI-
SION.
[Boone Republican,
AS was expected. the convention at
Fort Dodge was a quiet affair in every
way. There was no contest, nothing to
mar the unanimity of the nomination of
Representative J. p. Conner There
was however, in the convention les
son for the political leaders in shaping
the politics of the republican party.
The demand for tariff revision is not a
game of politics" but a positive, re-
publican fact. In the address of Har-
vey Ingham, the resolutions as drafted
by George Roberts, the speeches of in
dorsement of our representative and in
the speech of Mr.. Conner, there was
turnout it all an open or implied de-
mand for revision of the Dingley tariff
law But the speeches told not so much
as the outbursts of approval on the part
of the audience. 1t was not the APP
plause that is given because it would
be pleasing to Conner or Cummins, but
because the people recognize the
changed conditions and the need for a
revised SCHEDULE. The evidence was too
strong to be overlooked even by the
doubling Thomases, who talk about a
game of politics" 1t is to be regretted
that the editors of the Burlington
Hawkeye the Iowa City Republican
and the Ninton Eagle were not at the
that it would have
changed their views on the question of
where the people stand and what is the
most expedient position for the repub-
lican party to take.

THE MEAT TRUST.
TTama Herald.1

Some Tama people who are exercis-
ed over the meat trust question are
fighting the devil with fire by buying
and eating less meat. There is no doubt
that people would be quite as well off
If they were to use more grain and veg
etable foods to the exclusion of beef
and pork Such is the theory, and it
is supported by exhaustive experiments
carried on by scientific men, but prac-
tically we confess to .hankering" for
roast or a stew at not widely separ-
ated intervals. We wonder if it Will be
possible to buy meats much cheaper at
the butcher shops and yet have the
farmer continue to receive the high
prices for cattle and hogs that have
weathed his face in smiles for the past
few years. The trouble with good Zines
is that it means high prices-and
somebody must pay them. The ideal
basis for prosperity is high prices for
everything a man has to sell and low
prices for what he must buy. And While
while those conditions are idealistic
they are not, unfortunately, based on
common sense. The Herald will con-
tinue TO be high in price for some time
to come. And when they get cheap
again we may see several men hunting
for the same job-as in the halycon
days of '93 and A.
