NO GENTLEMAN.

Mrs. Astor's declaration that a man
can not be a gentleman unless endowed
with college education places us in a
devil of a fix. Here we have been
passing ouself off fer years as a gen.
t.leman mad now we find that we are
mot in that class. The blow to our wife
Will be terrible. She thought she mar
ried a gentleman and she didn't. Her
husband is mere man, nothing more
4 We always told dad that 1t would
turn out this way We wanted col
lege education, but he thought differ
t.nt. We wanted him to do all the work
on the farm while we went to college.
but he figured that it would be best for
our health to stay on the farm and help
him pitch hay and follow the plow.
He's to blame because his son is no
gentleman. Come to think of it, dad is
no gentleman either. He has no COL
lege education. When he came over
from Ireland he was too busy hustling
after something to put in his stomach
10 chase around after something to put
in his head. When he should have been
liking up to be gentleman he was
lodging rebels down south. When we
graduated in blue overalls from the old
White school house at the head waters
of Hell Slough, we started out to make
our way in the world and resolved to
be gentleman. That was over fifteen
years ago and we have wasted all that
time trying to be what, Mrs Astor says
we never can be. We never swore be-
fore preacher, never struck an old
man or a woman or a fool, never spat
tobacco juice on church floor, never
drank poor whisky, never drank with
a niger, never called bigger man
Than ourself a liar, and yet Mrs. Astor
declares that we are no gentleman.
How unkind of Sister Aston! If she
only knew how her thoughtless words
would wound our tender feelings, per-
llaps she would never have uttered
them.

BOB COUSINS SEAT.
ITama Herald.l

A writer in the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette brings out bunch of candidates
for Congressman Cousins seat. Col.
Charles A. Clark, of Cedar Rapids, is
charged with being a candidate, and he
is given company in the persons OF M.
J.. Tobin of Vinton, Senator Penrose OF
this city and others. OF course 1t is all
a pipe dream. Col Clark has been a
republican since 1S96-it is probable he
will remain quietly in the ranks for
few days more before becoming can
dldate for one of the most important
positions the people have to bestow.
Tobin is a bright young fellow who
may be in congress before he dies, but
he is an earnest adherent of Congress :
man Cousins and lives in county
which is enthusiastically for the bril-
liant Cedar county orator. Senator
F'enrose was led into contest for a
state Office last year which had but one
important result: the retirement of Col.
N[owry as railroad commissioners. He
will scarcely be led into similar
course this year with no better pros
poets for himself and with the POSSIBLE
ity of doing serious injury to the ambi-
ton Of his friend and fellow townsman,
Judge Willett. The article in the Ga
zette to which reference is had makes
assurance doubly sure that Congress
man Cousins Will be renonlinated with
out opposition.

Highlander who owned large tract of
territory in the marshy part of the
county. He had been out to see his

ground enough on his broad acres to
stand upon while he viewed the ex-
panse of water and wild rushes that
spread out in every direction. He
viewed the situation gloomily for few

$4,000 to $4,000 per quarter Surely,
"the stone (and marsh) which the

Pacific Turns Rcd and Fresh.

Following the earthquake shocks
that visited the Pacific coast the other
day, peculiar phenomenon has de-
veloped in the waters of the Pacific.
Within a distance Of siXty-iive miles
along the Los Angeles County shore
line the salty waters. heretofore clear
and of the usual greenish color, have
become q terra-cotta red.
This color line extends off shore for
several miles and is SO distasteful to
the fish family that they have gone
far into the ocean to seek clear waters.
AT night this colored sea water gives
off c phosphorescent light, and as the
long lines of waves roll, toss and
strike the beaches they cast reaec-
ton that enables one to read average
print.
At certain points along the beach
the water has turned sweet. The
theory is advanced that the earth
quake opened q tissue off the coast
that forces fresh water and colorcd
matter to the surface.-New York Sun.

Strange Reunion of Brothers.

A remarkable reunion has been ef-
fected between two brothers in Henry
County, Indiana, after separation Of
nearly half century, during which
time each thought the other dead.
Barton and Jabez Guyer lived with
their parents in North Carolina. In
1852 Barton left home to make his
way In the world. He went to Texas,
thence to Mexico, finally returning to
Texas, where he located. He wrote
his brother repeatedly, but received
no reply to his letters and gave him
up for dead.
Jabez never received any information
from Barton. He lost all trace Of
him, and likewise mourned him as
dead. Barton enlisted in the Confed.
crate army, and served until peace
was declared. Jabez later on moved
with his family to Henry County, Ind,
Recently a relative of the family
learned, through a conversation with
a travelling salesman, of man named
Barton Guyer in Harrisburg, Texas.
A correspondence developed the fact
that he was the long-lost brother.
Barton came on to meet his BROTHER

Ignorance of the Newly Rich.

We still need a training school to
teach the very rich how to use the
trappings OF their wealth. In front of
q famous store in Fifth avenue there
stood recently a luxurious carriage
with a coachman and a footman on
the box. Both servants, but particu-
larly the footman, were models. IT,
twner of the turnout came out Of the
shop, walked to the carriage, and
opened the door for herself. The foot
man never moved. She gave an order
to the coachman: still the footman sat
like one OF the Pharaohs, except that
he kept his arms crossed, which they
did not do even when laid out to be
mummies. Finally the woman stepped
into the carriage, shutting the door
for herself, and the equipage whirled
away without any sign of life having
been given by the man beside tho
coachman. The explanation was that
the owner of the carriage, who had re-
Gently attained to riches and also New
York, heard that it was the proper
thing to have two men on the box; 50
she had them, and kept them there!
She probably classed the second man
y. til the crest ON the carriage door, as
an ornament of a certain significance,
but no practical use-New York Post.

'Tis sad but true that picturesque
means of discouraging flies, such as

Among other incidents of "the
American invasion" of European mar
kets the carrying of California fruits
to London and Paris in successful
competition with what would seem
to be the naturally superior facilities
of Spanish fruit-growers is not the
least astonishing.
Paris is not quite 500 miles distant
from Valencia, the great fruit-ship-
ping port of Alphonso's fruity king
dom. Yet, says Valencia paper,
California oranges, peaches, apples
and pears reach Paris, after travers-
ing 6000 miles, in n more attractive
and appetizing condition than ours"
1t goes on to say:
1--WE can compete with America only
by employing her methods-improved
cultivation, harvesting and packing,
cold storage and rapid, safe transpor-
tation. CASTLE was once called the
granary of Europe, yet we have lived
to see foreign wheat, after paying
heavy transportation taxes, protective
duties and an adverse premium OF
thirty five per cent. in exchange, COM
peting with our homegrown cereals.
Shall we live to see American oranges
competing with ours on the Valencia
market itself?"
And so it goes all along the line.
American ingenuity and "hustle" are
compelling the steelmakers of Britain
and the fruit-growers of Spain alike
to admit that they must initiate us to
