mably, because they did not like the
way the Washington home had been
imposed upon.
OF course, the poor little wife cried
she is only "a years old-and the
husband stormed. And then the ex-
plantations weer made-and they were
almost as sad as the pitable tale told
by a queen of old England to her stern
lord. Mrs. Criswell wanted the baby
so that she could keep stronger her
husbands love. They were married
only a year ago. She was a widow,
her first husband having been killed
in a wreck on the Southern Pacific.
She sued the railroad for $4,000, and
when she married Criswell she thought
her prospects for receiving the money
were very bright.
Later, she found that she would re-
ceive practically nothing, and she
feared that when her husband was
told of this he wouldn't care for her
But, even after the discovery of the
baby episode, and of the worthless
railroad claim, Criswell forgave the
erring but well-mean wife, and
again went out to treat the boys-this
time because, cit was on him."

Iowa Farmers After Meat Trust,

DES MONIES, Ia, Dec. iowa
farmers who assembled in Des MOnes
today for three days convention
purpose to get after the meat trust
with a sharp stick and find out why
they are receiving so much less for
their cattle products now than for
merly. Reports prepared by Secretary
John Simpson of the state agricultural
society for presentation to the con-
ventiOn tend to prove that the meat
combine has cheated Iowa farmers
out of an average of $50 a head on
cattle for the past year. and $3.50 on
hogs. Whereas beef on the hOof sold
in Chicago last year at $3.50 to $3.50
a hundred, it has declined to prices
ranging from $685. to $3.50, though
there has been no corresponding de
cline in the price of the dressed pro-
duct. IoWaS tribute to the meat trust
in the aggregate is estimated at $40
600 600 loss on hogs and $45, 900 loss
on cattle, to say nothing of minor
losses on sheep and other small stock
