Spencer Aug. Nearly everybody
is familiar with the facts concerning
the battle between the bank robbers
and the citizens of Albert City some
time ago. ana Will recall that NJ. Lodin,
the city marshal was Killed III the en-
| counter. And while money is only a
slight recompense. as q reward for duty
Well performed, still the public will be
glad TO know that the Bankers Associ-
alton has raised and paid his widow
Si,150 and on the day the writer Was in
Marathon Secretary Wilson Was set
thing other expenses incurred by the
family of Lodin To the amount OF $50
additional. And this story would be
incomplete without mentioning case
of individual generosity. The attention
OF Joseph +. Toye a banker of Sioux
City, was called Ia the fact that there
WAS a mortgage of $3.50 on the home of
the Lodins and he promptly sent
check clearing the property. Such acts
require no comment, they speak for
themselves.
Here's 4 crow and dog story from the
Philadelphia North American which the
Looker-On Will reprint. and then tell
one himself: There is a large New
foundland dog and a crow in Ridley
park that are on speaking terms with
each other The crows name is jim,
and the dog, a handsome animal, is
Rover. Both are owned by julius c.
Smith. head landscape gardener for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. When
Mr.. Smith first took the bird home the
crow eSpied Rover. and flew from Its
new masters hand and lit on the dogs
back. At once there seemed to be a
mutual unders landing between dog and
bird, the former .bow-wowing in atfec-
tionate manner. and the latter cav
cawing' and returning the caresses of
its new friend by strokins Rover's back
ailh it's be.tk.
".rn ana Rover seem to thoroughly
understand each other, and are generals
ly found together. They frequently
play hide-and- seek. jim will cav
cav then fly to Il distant tree. Rover
follows. generally locating the tree
where the bird is hidden. The dog will
sit and look up at the tree until Jim
flies down from amid the leafy branch-
es. The crow lights on the dogs back
and in this manner they return to their
masters home
n few weeks ago. near the cottages
on Des Mones beach, Okoboji, the
writer saw Il big Belgian hare follow
ing around big shaggy dog. Under-
stand, the dog wasn't chasing the rab-
bit, but the dog was making friendly
calls on the other dogs in the neigh
borhood, and the hare was hopping af-
ter him. This unusual sight was mem
toned to some of the occupants of the
cottages, when the writer was assured
it WAS Il daily occurrence. And the
funny part of 1t is that the dog seems
half ashamed of his rabbit companions
If no one is in sight the hare and dog
keep close together for some time. but
rs soon as spectator comes in sight
the dog has urgent business in another
part of the neighborhood. where the !
hare does not wish or is afraid TO go.
Ii may be this dog has heard of old dog
Tray and the result of bad company
The writer has felt it public duty
to criticse in this column the cooking
and serving of many nice articles Of
food in Il manner disgraceful to The age
we live in. Has even advocated a |
cooking department in every college in !
the land this where co-eds do consre- |
gate. So il is n pleasure to once tell |
the other side. Not long ago the writer
had business in Marshalltown. At 10 |
O'Clock he was unexpectedly invited to
dinner by a gentleman just starting for
his home. The wife was notified by
telephone ito put on another plate" |
Five minutes after our arrival we sat I
down to dinner. A steak two inches
thick WAS served hot from the broiler
(not a thin slice OF red leather fried I'm
grease). 'It would melt IN your mouth,
which proved two things, that the man
of the house knew what to buy and the
wife how it should be cooked Not to
so into detail but when those nice to-
matoes sliced and covered with broken
ice came on they were so different from
the offering of the average hotel and to
end the We'll served. We'll cooked meal,
we topped Off with musk melon That
ice-cod fruit showed there was
as we'll as a cook In that house.
