Soon lawyers came to Evergreen. On
every corner they hung out their signs.
Then a court house. new and imposing
took tie place of the old shack. In
front OF 1t there was a park with q new
fountain. And beyond the square,
where its white spire rose against the
heavenly blue sky, they soon erected
the Evergreen Presbyterian church,
"the finest edifice for public worship in
the corduroy country"
But the tall papa no longer cantered
home on Black Bessie. Little Reuben
wondered what became of her al nrst,
but after q year or so he began to dis
cover h a h had contributed toward
the thrift of Evergreen. The sleek
mules no more dragged their great
brown bales over the corduroy from his
fathers gate in the fall. One bale at a
time went out with a dingy darkey on
top Of the rickety OK cart that held it.
Reuben discovered that the brown
bales and the mules had also contrib
uted towards the thrift of Evergreen.
His father no longer went to Ever
green four times a ear no, he also
contributed toward the thrift of the
rising town, and entered it every
And, so. as Evergreen went up, the
country folks went down. No road was
safe on Saturday The great white
blossoms of the swamps opened their
golden eyes and looked on the eager,
shabby men who drove their ragged
carts over the corduroy and entered the
town. The great white blossoms closed
their eyes of gold on crowds OF drunken
devils, who lay prone in those ragged
carts as their mules and oxen. undriven,
drew them back over the corduroy out
Of the thriving town.
1t was a Christmas " after the
country went vet that Reuben made up
his little hard head to go into Ever
green with his father n bring Santa
Claus home, ascot old. The poor, de-
graded, shabby ne'er-do-well was
cowed by the determination OF the boy,
and finally the weak lids fell before the
blue lances shot from the fearless eyes
of youth.
II will 60, father said the boy, and
the father mumbled. Welt"
So Reuben was busy; he found every
thing to sell that could be sold: eggs
from this tenant, butter from that, T
KEYS from another. squads from q
fourth; and when his father and he
took their places on the bench of the
cart, there was a goodly load of salable
stun for Santa Claus. And they were
lucky; housewives generally are out OF
some needables for festival seasons
They reached Evergreen early and sold

"Dear father" smiled the lad. how
happy we can make dear mother and
the little chicks!"
And Immediately they began to lay
out this half dollar for baby and this
dollar for Joe,'' this seventy-fve cents
for Annie,' and this for little Sue"
They were two children instead of one.

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.

Jefferson Bee.]

Dave Beinhart. OF this city, has
demonstrated that his big winnings at
the state poultry show held at Cedar
Rapids a year ago were no accident.
This year he again entered the lists at
the Marshalltown meeting of the East
ern Iowa Poultry Association, and his
Buff Cochins got the most desirable
premiums offered. consisting OF the fol-
lowing: First on cock, first on hen,
second on pen, and fifth on cockerel. As
an Intelligent and successful breeder Of
this class OF poultry Mr.. Beinhart is be-
coming recognized far and wide as an
authority, and this reputation Is of q
value known only 70 those who like
himself breed poultry for sale. The
probability is that he has won the sill
yer cup offered by the association as a
sweepstakes premium, as he did last
year. but the matter is not yet decided.

But shopping in a country town IL
hard. ever in a thriving town like Ever
green, and the hours flew on apace.
presently a lawyer behind one of chose
aggressive signs looked out n saw
Barker and his boy" Now this law
yer had planned a little Christmas BUSH
ness with. Barker, on his own account.
But Barker sober? He had not counted
On that. He thought a moment, n q
moment more and he was in the
street.
Good morning, Mr.. Barker said he.
What fine little man have we here?"
The father turned his glowing ~ on
little Reuben.
.My eldest son.. said he. "Mr. Thig-
pen, Reuben my boy, your fathers
friend
There's my straight road" Thought
the lawyer. and he insisted upo going
with them into the nearest shop.
"a rifle" said he to the keeper, "a
fine rifle to tit a fine boy" And little
Reuben was given his first new CUR.
A u is the way to a boys any
where in the world; but in the Cordu-
roy country, oh, a III Is enough to win
a young heart for life! And now 1t
be loaded for Reuben, and they must
stand and talk and talk about all the
grand hunts in the swamps. And q
ally, it was the most natural thing IN
the world thu the lawyer should say
to Reuben:
"Now. Iwant to speak on a little nat
ter OF business to your father here, my
son. and-well, We'll come back IN 2
little while"
And SO they went out.
Reuben sat IN a barrel ana hug3ed
his new gun and thought
ooh, the blackbirds sailing over nne
swamps and circling, circling down 20
The reeds! Oh, the wild ducks shoot
ing upward from shadowy ponds! On,
the ring doves cooling in magnolia

He had been there a long time, NO

WINGED that III evidence is needed to
show that stringent laws are required

for in that line"
The Davenport Democrat thinks
there will probably be a trust bill
passed by the present congress, but 1t
will be a milk-and-water affair with
plenty of sweetening in It"
The Clinton Herald notices that "the
people Of Iowa are struggling along
.'heroically under that wave OF demo-
cratic enthusiasm that emanated from
the Waterloo banquet"
The Dubuque Telegraph AYERS that

The quicq action Of congress has been

protective tariff in all its schedules
Foremost among the newspapers ex-
pressing their disappointment is the

good suggestion in the following from
his old friend of the Washington Press:
Personally we have profound respect
and esteem and affection for Judge Van
wagenen. We admire his enthusiasm
and his self-sacrifice to the demands
of his party. But as friends we would
urge him to pass the tempter by to
tell the hordes of selfish boomers" to
get behind him, and to stick to that

+. III. Conner, of his place, has Sc
cured the contract for the erection of
the soldiers monument at West Lib
erty. The funds providing for it were
raised by the G. A. n. and w. r. G. of
that city. The contract price is about
$500. The material used is to be grey
granite and the monument will be the
largest and finest anywhere in this sec
ton of the state. Tie base will be ten
feet square and the monument twenty
six feet high. 1t is the present inten-
ton to have it unveiled on Decoration
day this year and the event will be
made a memorable one. Mr.. Common is
to be congratulated for securing this
important contract. In doing so he had
to compete with the largest firms in the
country. He received notice asst week
that he was the lowest responsible bid
der and went over to West Liberty and
closed the contract.
