Fonda Times: Any one who has &C.
casion to ride across the country this
spring will notice numerous fiocks of
gulls circling around the fields and
sloughs. 1t has been several years
since the graceful flyers have been
seen here in large numbers, and old
settlers who. have kept tab on their
coming and going say that their pres
ence here denotes a wet season. If
this is true, the gulls have made no
mistake thus far. We do not know
what their coming indicates, or how
often they have been here other than
what We have stated, as told us; but
we do know that they are in evidence
on the prairies between here and Poca
hontas. They are very tame and seem
to prefer to congregate in a commun
ity thickly settled with farm houses
than to isolate themselves in the
sparsely settled sections.

had a hard time of it for awhile, but
they are persistent fellows and with
them there is no granting fayors to a

rich man is their meat" Prior to
April is they were only able to collect
$5,76303, but when the legislature adj
iourned without affording any relief
there was a radical change in the sit
uation. During the twenty days be.
tween April Is and May Is they made
settlements amounting to s6,567.41
and at the latter date they were still
busy making settlements, many OF
which reach up in the hundreds of dol

Algona Upper Des Moines: o curious
document was in the auditors office
Monday. 1t was the original patent
to the Roney farm in Irvington, issued
to Thomas A. Tillinghast in 1859, sign
ed by James Buchanan, president. The
patent was issued on land warrant
given to Samuel Nissan for services
in the war of 1912, and sold by him.
The patent had never been recorded
but had been handed down by one
buyer to another. 1t is still fresh,
bright looking instrument.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Fateful Hour.

Charlie looked after the retreating
figure of Capt. Brand, and was in
doubt whether to take him seriously
soon resolved to dismiss from his
mind Capt Brand and all he typified,
and seek repose.
He gained the sanctity of his room,
and, lighting the gas, sat down to
have a last deiiberation ere retiring.
All seemed capable of running in a
smooth groove, but 'the best laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft
agley," Bobby Burns tells us, and who
perience?
Charlie retired. Whether he slept
soundly or not concerns us little, but
under the circumstances it is hardly
probable that his slumber was very
refreshing.
There was too great load on his
mind.
He felt very much as a man might
who stands upon the brink of a preci-
pice.
Success or failure-his whole fu-
ture depended upon one little word
was balanced in the hollow of girls
hand.
Charles previous bitter experience
had caused him to feel more or less
caution, with a shade of distrust to-
ward the gentle sex, and against this
he had to fight.
Could he have known what lay be-
fore him, under what fearful condi-
tions he was fated to win his sweet

break every bone in your body, if
chose almost frothing at the mouth
with rage.
Better not try it, captain. In New
York state they electrocute for muir
der, and it's a worse fate than hang
ing, which you know has terrors
enough never to be forgotten"
Charlie, acting upon the spur of the
moment, could not help giving him
this little thrust.
1t was a keen one.
The others jaw dropped, his eyes
momentarily rolled in a spasm of
agony, and the sweat seemed to break
out upon his brow.
Charlie saw and was satisfied.
He had given the constituencies
wretch a body-blow in return for his
vile threats.
Capt. Brands spasm lasted but
brief space of time, and then he re-
covered his self-possession.
There was a popularity about the
captain that seemed very marked
when in a rage his eyes became quite
bloodshot, and glowed like the orbs of
a hyena upon the deserts of which he
loved to talk.
And just now they were fiery, in
deed.
The look he gave Stuart had muir
der in it, though Charlie showed no
sign of alarm.
Here, in this public place. the
man would never dare assault him.
Besides, Charlie possessed the idea
that he could hold his own at any
time against the fellow. True, he
was smaller than the captain, but a
life devoted to occasional dissipation
must have sapped some of the aston
ishing powers which a generous ma
ture had originally bestowed upon the
worthy man of many faces.
But Capt. Brand restrained himself
reason had not quite deserted him.
He smiled grimly, and there was
a world of meaning in his sardonic
look.
Very good, my hearty You have
chosen to throw down the glove, and
from this hour it's war to the knife
between us. You may live to rue the
day you made an enemy out of one
who held out the olive branch. De-
pend upon it, Airline Brand is not for
you. A fond parent must guard the
interests of his sweet child. Go your
way, young sir; and when next me
meet it will be as foes to the death
/ wash my hands of you"

Truth About Father Gushing.

Less than two weeks ago Father
Gushing endeavored to call on Presi-
dent Roosevelt at his summer quarters
at Oyster Bay. and have an interview
with him. Father Cushing has been a
source of trouble in Catholic circles
ever since 1888. and it is the opinion
of many that he is insane He was a
priest in the Denver diocese some twen-
ty years ago, and was removed because
he was not deemed a proper person to
have charge of a parish. For this he
blames the bishop, and has been max
ing bitter attacks on him through the
press, and through officials, both civil
and ecclesiastical, ever since.
The wide publicity which has been
given these declarations of Father
Cushing, and the eccentricities of the
priest, have all these years been a
grief to Bishop Matz and all Colorado
Catholics. Newspapers all over the
country, not knowing the origin or
merits of the controversy. and not
knowing the mental condition of the
priest, have published accounts of his
odd doings and his vitriolic utterances.

CUMMINGS WELCOME VISITOR.
Cardinal Gibbons Cheered the Dying
Hours of the Late Congressman.

! A pathetic incident, not hitherto pub
ilsned, In connection with the last few
days of the illness of Amos Cummings
the great newspaper correspondent and
member of congress from the city of
New York, was related to the writer a
lew days ago by. an intimate friend of
Mr.. Cummings.
A few days before Mr.. Cummings
death this man paid visit to the bed
side and found Mr.. Cummings face all
aglow with excitement He could hard
ly restrain himself until his friend took
a seat before he drew himself UP on his
pillow and said in eager tones: well,
Charlie, who do you suppose called in
to see me today?" Charlie answered:
| Well, I don't know well, guess,
Charlie. / want you to guess who called
In to see me today" His eyes at the
SAME time were beaning with the de-
light which the news he was going to
impart gave him.
Charlie answered again, 'FWell, I
don't know, Amos. might guess all
night, and then perhaps L would not
guess right"
Well" he said, 'it was Cardinal
Gibbons. I never spent happier mo-
ments in my life than the time when
the cardinal was here with me. He
came over to my bed and said: Mr.
Cummings, 1 am Cardinal Gibbons. 1
have never he'd the pleasure of meeting
you personally, but I have known of
you for a greant many years, and I
thought.I would come to see you Car

preciate that compliment, coming from
You, more than anything that has ever
been said to me. I simply have done
what thought was right in the world
and fought for the under dog, and what
you say about my work pleases me bet
ter than any compliment 1 could re-
ceive'
The world is better for men like
you, Mr.. Cummings replied the cardi- |
nal. I have watched your career for a |
great many years and 1 know the diff
culties you had to contend with in your |
youth and how you struggled against |
them, and 1 have watched your, career
IN public life and read your newspaper |
stories with the greatest interest, and |
in every sphere of life 1 noted that you |
have been a good man; that you have |
done good work. and I hope that God |

Catholic Schools Win in Chicago.

Ihe Catholics of this city are maxi
ing great sacrifices to maintain the eff
hclency of their Catholic schools. IT
cannot fail to be encouragins to them
10 receive from time to time such evil
dences that their sacrifices are not in
vain as that given by the examination
Tor entrance to the normal school held
few weeks ago.
st. James high school passed seven
Teen candidates, the highest average
pelng 95-3 and the lowest 76.4. Seven of
these successful candidates had aver
ages of 80 and over.
st. Gabriel's high school sent up six-
teen candidates for the examination.
and Of these fifteen passed. One of the
pupils of st. GabrielS scored the high
est average of any of the candidates:
her average was 97.5. This young lady
scored 100 in chemistry, music and
American history, and 9S each in five
other branches.
st. Elizabeth's high school enjoys the
peculiar distinction of being the only
one of the schools which passed all
their candidates It sent up.
some months ago, when reference
was made publicly to the much higher
percentages of success at this exam
NATION by pupils of the Catholic
schools than by those of the public
schools, Superintendent Cooley answer
ed this by saying that this was due TO
the fact that the Catholic schools sent
up only picked few, while the public
high schools sent up the entire class.
Ii we remember that only sixty-six
passed the examination this time from
the whole city, and that nearly two
thirds of these came from the three
Catholic high schools above mentioned.
we see at once that Mr.. Cooley's argu-
ment furnishes no explanation at all of
such result. The total number of pu-
pills in these three Catholic high schools
was, of course, nothing like so great as
the number in the public high schools:
yet these three schools were able to Sc
ect from their pupils much greater |
competent to pass the examin- |
alton for the normal than the public |
schools were able to select from their |
Iastly greater number.-New World. |
