"A Ton of Coal"

1 dreamed a specter touched my soul,
And whispered, Look, a ton OF
coalr"
And then with the difference of "a
slave
Into my hands a receipt he gave.
Back to darkness this spirit fed,
And, oh, what rosy dreams | had
What a precious gift the gods had
A chunk of heaven they had surely
lent.
So, from lip to lip the message sped,
A ton of coal is in his shed.
A ton of coal!
To burn or not to burn.
1t filed my soul with deep concern ;
AS I lay there sweetly dreaming
I did mIgty lot of scheming.
Would l brave the winters freezing.
Shifting, shutting, coughing, sneez-
ing?
Would l do a daily shlver.
With reddening nose and lips that
quIver?
Or would burn the coal?
Aye, there's the rub!
A ton of coal!
Hist, not so loud
There may be robbers in the coalless
crowd!
A whole ton!
Yes, peek now, one by one;
Don't push,
Or rush,
Or crowd,
Or shout aloud.
Ten cents is all / charged last night
To view this extraordinary sight
This ton of coal.
And lying there so sweetly dreaming,
Doing all this clever scheming,
| became a Barnum on the spot,
Then bought house on a corner lot;
lost myself in a fight of soul,
All because of the ton of coal.
But the merry fight took sudden
crimp,
And the blamed old world seemed
mighty skimp,
When later on the bin | scraped,
With fingers skinned and a back
that ached;
Yes, that was splendid fight of soul,
But give me, oh, give me, ton OF
coal!

We do not know who is writing the

Register, credited to Ret Clarkson,

Iowan. Nobody but fellow who
has lived in the Hawkeye state could
paint this vivid picture of our soil
in its spring attire:
"The little two-room house grew
very busy in that spring of '56, as
the snow went away and the black
mud came-that wonderful, black,
sticking. living mud of Iowa soil, a
mud that gives life and beauty to
everything put it iu; that takes seed
into its black embrace when it is IL
self as cold as ice, and yet makes the
seed sprout and grow; a mud that is
miracle, and yields up yearly many
times as much of treasure as all the
gold and silver mines of all the world
yield up; mud and muck that, in
its pasty, black loan, looks like
black paint; a mud that sometimes
mires wagons, stops travel, keeps
everybody at home, and makes every
body mad; and mud that not only
gets on you in the country or town
or city, but crawls all over you, and
seems to be alive. II New England
and New York could get at it, they
would buy it and use 1t as fertiliz'

PRESTON FOR JUDGE.

THE HERALD is authorized to an
nounce and it takes great pleasure in
announcing that Byron w. Preston
will be a candidate for Judge of the
District Court this year.
That one of the judges should be a
resident of Mahaska county cannot
be questioned on account of the large
amount of court work in this county.
During 1901 court was in actual ses-
sion two hundred and eight days.
Byron Preston is one of the best
known attorneys in the district, and
his ability, conscientiousness and
fairness stand indisputable. He has
been engaged in the practice of law
in Oskaloosa for eighteen years, and
his record is a monument of faithful
and intelligent performance of duty.
From 1891 to 1926 Mr.. Preston was
county attorney, and was recognized
as one of the NEST efficient officials
in the state.
The Republicans of Mabaska coun-
ty in presenting his name as a candi-
date at the Judicial convention feel
that if nominated Mr.. Preston's sue
cess on the bench will equal his sue
cess at the bar.

AT a recent sale Of breeding DIR,

AT recent sale of breeding draft
horses in Iowa, twenty-four head sold
for an average of s6O3 each. This is
said to be the highest average price
ever paid for such animals at public
sale. A few years ago horses were a
drug on the market and it would have
been impossible to sell that number
at any price which would pay for the
expense and trouble of raising them.
Today there Is dearth of good draft
horses and the farmer who breeds
good stock is assured of ready sale
and good profit.

full for the translation:

est congratulations on the magnifi-

growth of which the wise and kind
measures of the head of the govern

BIG SCHOOL.
Chsistian Church Finds Accommoda
lions Inadequate for Attendance.

Some extensive improving work
has been done a. the Christian church
to meet the demands of the increase
in the Sunday school and its work.
The Sunday school has been growing
so rapidly and steadily for the past
several months that the accommoda-
tions that were provided were wholly
inadequate to the requirements of the
larger school and its progress. Every
available square inch of space had
been utilized to the best advantage
and it was seen that more class room
had to be provided. Accordingly the
basement at the west end OF the
building has been refitted and finished
in such manner that it may be di-
vided into number OF class rooms
or thrown into one large room for the
purposes OF dining hall or hall for
the purpose of any church gathering.
The separation of the room into class
rooms is made possible by means of
a number of sliding partitions. The
room has been replastered and new
floor placed and the entire work has
been finished in a manner that is a
credit to the church and the Sunday
school for which the work was done.
The cost Of the Improvement is be.
tween four aud five huadred dollars
and is an investment that will bring
large returns.

HUNTING AN ISSUE.

Over n 900 horses and mules have
been sold by farmers of this country
to persons representing the British
government for use in South Africa
in the past two years. This demand
has largely been responsible for the
present high prices of horses. Atthe
same time other farm products of
much greater value have been sold to
the agents of Great Britain for the
same purpose. The democratic party
in it's great desire to crit,cise the pres
ent administration are making fam
boyant and heated demands that all
this be stopped, and one democrat
threatens to make open war upon the
camps where these horses, mules and
other property are gathered unless
the government at once puts stop
to 1t. No doubt all the farmers will
uphold this demand, particularly as
it originates in no higher motive than
desire to raise some issue. with the
administration.
