SWAMP LANDS.
Against the Government for
Purchase Price Paid.

Mr.. Allen of Upton, was in Du-
buque to make an investigation as to
how many acres of swamp land there
is in Dubuque county. There is some
there yet, but a great deal of it has
been filled in and built upon. Orig
inally the United States government
gave all the swamp land in Iowa to
the state and the state gave the sew
eral counties all such lands within
their boundaries. Subsequently the
government claimed the land after
improvements had been made on
some of it, and resold it. 1t is Mr..
Aliens mission to make a thorough
investigation of the counties contain
ing swamp land and ascertain how
many acres there is in each, and if it
can be shown that the government
once gave the land to the state and
subsequently took it back again the
matter will be brought into the
courts. If decision against the
government shall be rendered it will
have to pay to each purchaser at the
rate of $1.25 per acre.

OF INTEREST TO BANKERS.
Attorney General Mullnn Says TIsa I
Banks May lawfully Organize and
Conduct Savings Departments.

Attorney General N1ullan holds that
national, state and private banks may
lawfully organize and conduct saw
ings departments in connection with
their general banking business and
that individuals, partnerships and
private corporations may engage in
the savings bank business. The only
restrictions on savings departments
SO organized are those imposed by
section 1859 of the code of Iowa, pro-
hibiting the use of the words ''sav-
ings bank and savings institution"
in advertising their business to the
public.
The option is one that is of the
greatest interest in banking circles.
The matter has not been adjudicated
by the courts and the author has
been receiving queries on the subject.
In Page county the question became
acute. The national bank there
undertook to organize savings de-
partment. In consequence, County
Attorney Sutherland threatened
President Reed of the bank with
prosecution. Attorney General Null
Ian advised that it was very doubtful
whether President Reed has trans
crossed the law and as the auditor
raised the same question about this
time he undertook a thorough inves-
legation.

TRAGIC DEATH.
AUune -DrUyvIB-11crse1IT IN
Spite of Frantic Efforts of Her
Mother to Save Her.

One of the most tragic deaths that
has startled the little town of Union
and neighborhood for years occurred
when Miss Fannie Whitmore, aged 20,
one of the well known young ladies
of Union, committed suicide by
drowning herself in the Iowa river.
Learning that the man she loved,
Seth A. Perkins, a travelling man of
Des Moines, a representative of Lam
gan Bros, stationary and paper deal
ers, had wife living in Des Moines,
the girl arose in the night, and clad
only in her night robe ran to the
river, a distance of a quarter of a
mile, and although followed by her
mother, who screamed for her to
stop, she threw herself off the bank
and was drowned. Her body was re-
covered near the spot by searchers.

CHAPTER xIx.-CoNr1NuED.


Griffin strolled listlessly with the
crowd, and presently found himself
in front of the new playhouse. T.
was early, but the 'frst-nighters"
were already thronging the vesti-
bule. He stood aside to look on,
honestly wishing he could rid him
self of the Bayou bank mystery long
enough to go in and enjoy himself
with the pleasurers.
Now it CHANGED that in stepping
back out of the sidewalk throng he
got in the way of the carriage con-
tingent, and moment later a voice
at his elbow said:
Excuse me; will you let the ladies
alight?"
Griffin gave place, and saw young
nan with a clean-cut, eager face
hand two young women from the
carriage. They were followed by an
elderly gentleman with eyeglasses;
and on the sidewalk the group fell
into pairs. Griffin could not well
help hearing the colloquy.
81 think the others will be here in
few minutes, doctor. Shall we wait
and go in with them?'
Thus spoke the young man with
the clean-cut face; and at the older
mans negative he spoke again.
"Just as you please. If you will
take Miss Raymer and let me take
Miss Farnham, that will divide us
equally. The seats are all near to-
gether, but l couldn't get them all
in the same row."
Griffin stared hard at the speak
er's companion as the parti carre
moved away.

"There is one grain of comfort in it
for me; if her face doesn't belle her,
she will tell me the truth. BY Jove!
but that young lawyer, or whatever
he is, has an eye for good looks. I've
never seen her equal in all my ups
and downs, and that's saying good
deal"
So he went his way to the St.
James and presently to bed, without
80 much as suspecting that he had
actually touched elbows with the
man whose identity he was vainly
trying to establish.

cuss it with helpful freedom.
Do what he might he could not
bring himself to the point of tax
ing Charlotte into his confidence in
the matter of the book. Though it
was wholly underlined in his own
mind, the barrier was the one which
had been builded on the voyage up
the river. The more he saw of Char
lotte, and the more his love for her
grew and throve, the less possible
it became to look forward to a day
when he might hope to tell her all
with fair probability of winning
her approval of the thing he had
done.
But with Margery no such difficult
ty existed. Her sympathy was al
ways quick and intuitive, and she
seemed to have the gift of saying in
stinctively the thing he craved most;
the thing he might have suggested if
she were not always beforehand with
him. He was not so besotted as to
believe that he had discovered in her

incomplete circle; the one person in
the world who can fully understand
him. On the contrary, in his So
berer moments he thought he knew
her for what she was. But these dis
illusions grew less frequent as visits
to Mereside became more frequent.
and in time they began to disappear
altogether. For Mistress Margery
was wise in her generation, knowing
many things well and the heart of
man better than any.
But about the book, which was to
settle once for all the vexed ques-
ton of the rights of man, they did
not always agree. AS first conceived,
the story was merely vehicle load
ed to overlooking with the socialistic
protests of its author. But in the
rewriting new plot had been sub
stituted; suggested, nay, even out
lined, by Mistress Margcry herself;
and on the keel thus laid the ven
ture built itself into something more
like a novel and less like a preach
ment. Griswold saw the growth OF
it under his hand; saw the far-reach-
ing possibilities of it; saw also that
it was departing, despite his most
strenuous efforts, from the course
which he had pricked out on the
chart of the former endeavor. In
other words, the new book babe fair
to grow into something which the
publishers might accept and the pub
lie might buy and read, but of the
rights of man there was coming to

A MYSTERY.

When we take an observation of what's
going on around
We often think that wonders never cease.
For instance, there are people who appar
entity are crowned
To live life of luxury and ease.
If their accounts were balanced less than
nothing would remain,
And prison fare they probably would
chew,
And yet they set the fashions and we follow
in their train.
We don't see how theydo it-but they DO
Their homes are simply palaces of elegance
and art;
Their costly entertainments are dream;
They lead in gay society and are coIsid-
cred smart,
And pass for greater lions than they seem.
While better folks are fasting they are
feasting night and day.
And pleasure is the object they pursue;
And vet if forced to settle what they owe
they couldn't pay.
We don't see how they do it-but they DO.
There are the politicians who an easy way
have found
OF living without doing any work.
Arrayed in gaudy garments they are swag-
gering around
AS lazy and as saucy as Turk.
Although they are the enemies of every
thing that's right,
Although we know they rule and rob US,
too,
They make themselves. our bosses and we
cheer them with delight.
We don't see how they do it-but they DO.
There are the stock promoters, who are
working night and day,
In laying gold on other peoples shelves.
They kindly take your money and invest
it in way
To realize fortune-for themselves.
Their schemes are most maguificent-the
profits are so great,
They only grant their favors to few.
A million dollar company from nothing they
create.
We don't see how they do it--but they do
There are the busy merchants who are al

A selling things at less than what they

To crowds of crazy shoppers they exhaust.
Although they're losing money on each ar

They never look discouraged and are al
ways very we'll
We don't see how they do it-but they do.
There are the foolish people who compel
themselves to bear
burden growing heavier each day.
In keeping up appearances for those who
never care
They throw their peace and comfort all
away.
Their awful strain and worry is in sn,te of
all their guile,
Quite evident to everybody's view.
And yet with all their troubles they in
public wear smile.
We don't see how they do it-but they CO.

all this, and thought he found it in
his new relation as an employer of
labor. At first he had told himself
that he would be silent partner in
the iron works, leaving all the activi-
ties to the practical Raymer; but he
soon found this blankly impossible.
And with personal interest and the
shifting point of view came change,
gradual and almost insensible, in his
attitude toward mankind in general
and toward the workers in particu-
lar. So it came about that while he
was writing book, designed to over
turn the existing social order, he
was drifting slowly but surely into
the ranks of the oppressors.
The first open confession of this
change of creed came when the
threat of strike rose storm-cloud
like on the iron works horizon. Ray
mer was for temporizing with the
men, and for yielding something if
need be; but this Griswold fought
stoutly, growing more stubborn as
the threatening cloud increased in
size. If the men could not see for
themselves what was for their best
interests, they must be made to see.
But in reality it was Margery who
was responsible for the major
changes in the book. Caring nothing
at all for the ethical question in
volved, she cared a great deal for
the success of the author, and she
was shrewd enough to arrive quickly
at double conclusion; that Girls
void was well able to write a sue
cessful book; and that, left to him
self, he would assuredly spoil it with
his theories. So she labored faith
fully to keep him in broader road
and not without goodly measure
of success.
''But, Margery,"- they were well
past the "Nlr." and "Miss" by this
time)-'I can't do that" he said
one morning when they had been re-
working the plot through one of the
coy sitting-room talks.
Don't you see it begs the entire
question of labor and capital?"
81 see that you can't help doing it
unless you are deliberately false to
your art" 1etorted the literary ora
Gle.
"You have put these people on the
stage, giving them certain characters,
and they must go on and do the
things that are consistent"
Not if the consistent things are
going to make the entire picture out
of drawing"
She laughed. GLOW impossible a
man can be-" she rejoined, sweetly.
