How Iowans Irripatc.

People may leave Iowa, imbued with
the idea that there are greater opportu-
mites awaiting them in other states and
newer countries, but they generally re-
turn, convinced that nowhere does the
sun shine upon fsirer land nor upon
more contented and happy people than
those of the Hawkeye state. A proof
of this comes in a little story heard re-
Gently. On train coming east from
Council Bluffs the other day two gentle
men were occupying one seat. As the
train dashed through the prosperous
little towns along the line Of road, and
whirled over the broad prairles, green
in the oceans Of waving grain, the con-
versation naturally dropped into dis
cussion Of the state as an agricultural
commonwealth. One of the men is an
Iowan, born and bred, loves bis state
and is contented with his lot here, 90
much so that no temptation could come
to him which would cause him to leave
its borders. The other man had been
living for some time In Colorado, and
in other sections of the west, He was
infatuated with the panoramic view
spread out before him from the fast
fleeing train, and he said so.

Austriaa Bulls.

Here are few "bulls" that have

Incident. In Americ.n History.

A traveller who has just returned
from a visit to Matanzas says that he
visited El Cumbre, a short distance
from the city, and there was reminded
of an incident in American history
with which he was entirely unfamiliar
and which he is willing to bet not one
American in Il hundred knows any.

"a vice president of the United States
took the oath of office. there, being au-
thorized to do SO by special act Of CON

No place For King.

An American battleship once had q
visit from the king Of Italy. The gor-
geous apparel of the king and his suit.
Splendid in gold lace and decorations,
filled the sailors with awe. During the
inspection one Of the magnificent mem.
bers of the suit stepped backward and
disappeared. No one missed him. and
there were no witnesses to his misad-
venture save a weather beaten tar, who
leaned against the rail with a grin Of
huge enjoyment on his face. At last he
went up to the officer of the deck and
said. as he jerked his thumb over his
shoulder, "One OF them kings fell down
the hatch. sir."-Lippincott's Magazine.

The Long or Short Feed for Hogs.

A writer In western farm journal In
commenting on the usual outbreak OF
cholera and swine plague at this time
of the year takes occasion to criticize
the farmer severely who markets a sew.

stead of an eighteen months or q two
year old hog that will make the much
desired "streak of fat and streak OF
lean" bacon. While admitting that
there is more money in the forced feed,
still he thinks the satisfaction Of mar.
keting the better quality Of meat
enough to counterbalance the less profit
the farmer would find in following
slower methods. Well, perhaps this gen.
tleman is philanthropically inclined and
SO entirely unselfish that he will lose
money forthe benefit Of packing houses
that will not make 1t to his material ad.
vantage to produce the better quality
of meat.
If his motives are uneelfish we must
admire him for them; but the average
farmer is not made of such mold. We
are in the business for what there is In
1t, and the shortest cut and quickest
profit is the method we are following
If the public want their streak Of fst
and streak Of lean we are just the
ones that will accommodate them If they
will pay us fer the extra feed, care and
risk of producing it. But so long
as we get only the same prices for both
classes we will produce the hog that IL
fattened quickest at the least expense
This is the "ball of fat" our farmer
friend speaks of.
In the long feed there may be more
opportunity Of utilizing diversity Of
feeds and use only the corn or grain ra
tion at the finish. This will greatly
cheaper the feeding, especially where
the animals have the run Of the SAINT

Speaking of the bill pending in con-
gress that would give most towns of
1000 Inhabitants free delivery of mail,
The Hampton Recorder says: "Just why
people in towns of two thousand OF
more should not have mail delivery to
their doors once each day when it Is
carried by the government tree, miles
into the country, each day, is not quite
clear And when one comes to think
OF the matter right hard, there is lack
of transparency in the reason why either
the rural districts or small towns
should have free delivery at all, though
1t would seem that the country is enti-
tied to more consideration in this regard
than the small town. In the ordinary
small town of two thousand inhabitants
or less, every business house is located
within three or tour blocks Of the post
office, and free delivery is neither asked
for nor desired. Nor did the original
demand for the service in the rural dis
tricts come from the people receiving
the direct benefit. They never regarded
1t as hardship to 'go to the postotfice"
as occasion required. Indeed, it was a
diversion that they rather enjoyed. 1t
broke the monotony of farm life, gave
neighbor easy opportunity to meet
neighbor, exchange ideas and small talk
and keep alive an interest ir each other
without which life on the farm would
be deprived of half Its joys. or course
they ask for the service now, because It
is something that is being passed around
and Is of no direct expense to them. If
every farmer served had to go directly
into his pocket and dig up his share Of
the cost of the service, there would be
few rural delivery routes In operation.
But nevertheless he is paying for 1t and
dearly. 1t comes out of his pockets by
means of our ingenious tariff laws
when he buys trust made goods, and he
don't buy very much else these days
Perhaps II the truth were known II
would be found that the real demand
Tor free rural and small town delivery
came from some fellows down a,

No Light on Identity.

Examination of the contents of the
trunks and packages of the two men
conducted under the direction of the
coroner yesterday did not result in
any startling discovery or even in de-
termining the place which the father
and son were customed to call
home. y letter written by the older
man in Rock Island Il few hours be
fore he took the boat and never
mailed, was found to be directed to a
woman at Watervillc. Iowa. From
the tone and statements of the letter
and from letters received from the
woman il was evident that marriage
was contemplated and that MacGreg-
or. Iowa, where the Leonidas men
intended landing from the Dubuque,
was to ,,be. the. scene of the nuptial
knot tying at an early date. The let
ter. penned in Rock Island and never
mailed. contained assurances of love
and said. the young man would bring
the woman to. MacGregor, where. il
all proved satisfactory, the wedding
bells would ring.
Up till this afternoon Coroner
Lambach had heard no word from
the kilograms he has sent to Il num-
Der of cities i'm the hope of learning
something of the relatives of the
dead men. The effort has been about
given up. The undertaken states
that the bodies cannot be held much
longer, and unless word is received
tomorrow it is likely they will be
buried at the expense of the county.
