The hen.

Who would not be barnyard nen,
To scratch and peck and scratch again
To lay calm egg now and then?
To caclSle when the deed is done.
To weiter IN the dust ana sun,

To have comb and yet no hair,

And yet 1 think 'twere good to wear

Who would not be a barnyard hen.
To scratch and peck and scratch again

ART OF REST.
May Be Acquired and Used With
Great Benefit


Great Benefit.
Complete and restful poise of the
body and mind is an art not easily
gained
Perhaps nothing brings one as
much content, comfort, happiness
and pleasure as those conditions OF
easy, restful, resczToeful and well
balanced mind and body. that make OF
work pleasure and the daily life
happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with a
hundred duties and harrassed by child
rem; the business man, worried with
the press of daily affairs, debts, ETC..
cannot enjoy the peace and restful
repose and healthful nervous balance
unless they know how.
There is a way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely,
for the temporary stimulant and the
resulting depression is a sure ruin to
the nervous system, and the whole
condition of health and happiness
rests upon stomach, nerves and mind
Start with the stomach, that is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop
using things that break down its
power, upset its nervous energy and
prevent the proper digestion of the
food and the consequent manufacture
of healthful blood and nerves, brain
and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Pos
tum Food Coffee. That is like stop
ping the payment of interest and
starting on a career where you are
loaning money and receiving interest
The good results are double. You I
stop poisoning the system with coffee (
and start building up the broken down
nerve cells BIZ powerful elements con-
tanned in Postum These are pure {
food elements ably selected by ex- !
perts for the purpose of supplying
just the thing required by Nature to
perform this rebuilding.
These are solid substantial facts
and can be proven clearly to the sat
of anyone, by personal ex-
perience. Try the change yourself
and note how the old condition OF
shattered nerves and worried mind
changes to that feeling of restful poise
If well balanced nervous system.
The managing physician of a hygi-
mic sanitarium in Indiana says that
or five years in his practice he has
!lways insisted upon the patients
eaving off coffee and taking Postum

HOUR GLASSES FOR CHILDREN.
How Ingenious Mother Kept Her OAR
lines at Work


A clever mother recently gave hour
glasses to her three children. They
were timed to run out at the end of
an hour, half hour and fifteen min
utes respectively. The little girl who
before had dawdled through her piano
practice. after watching the sands of
time run out so visibly in her hour
glass, at once brought a new zest to
her practice. The boys would there
after time themselves on their evening
chores" and hurry back to see if
they had been beaten by old Time, as
symbelized by the hour glass.
It was a very good way of teaching
them the value and economy of time
If the experiment is tried, however.
mothers must be careful not to allow
their children to carry it to excess at
first. and so grow weary of it as of
WORKOUT toy.

Her Life for Her Child.

Capt Wells. formerly commander of
the metropolitan fire brigade of Lon
don, thus describes the bravest deed
he ever saw:
"The scene was a fire at an oilshop
and house." he said "a woman and
her two children were on the top
floor, and without a moments thought
she snatched up one of her children,
and, fighting her way down the stair
case, through smoke and heat, deliver
ed the child in safety to a person in
the street Then she rushed through
the burning shop and up the stair
case with a view of reaching. her room.
"She must have reached her child,
clutched it, and tried to make her
way out But in the attempt the de-
voted mother was forced back, only
to be found dead by our men, who had
just arrived. She was still holding
her child close to her, and had evil
IDENTIFY kept her own back to the
flames to protect the little one, while
her arms and clothes were tightly
round the little one"

A number Of articles made from
galalith, or milestone, were shown At
Hamburg. The casein from skinned
milk hardened by formaldehyde and
variously colored, was used for table
tops, combs. knife handles. cigar
holders, balls, rings, chessmen and
dominoes. An advantage Of the new
product as compared with eelludoid,
is the fact that it does not ignite so
easily and is entirely odorless.

COSTUMES FOR AUTO DOGS.
MiIady's Pet Is Well Protected When
He Rides.


He Rides.
Milady with the pet dog appendage
takes his royal highness automobiling
these days in "auto-togs" as up-to-date
as her own. His eyes are screened
by chauffeur's goggles, his silken coat
is protected from the dust by linen
or silk covering made like bag, but
with Sits for his legs to come through
so that should there he an accident to
the car, It would be possible for him
to land on his feet. A hood of linen
or silk is put over his head to match
the body covering.
Some dogs might resent this cos
tune. but milady's pet is so accus-
toned to the delicate attentions of his
mistress that he takes kindly to his
'auto-togs" and wears them with an
appreciative air.

INTERPRETs POEMS.
Superintendent Crane Advises Teach
ers to Browse Among the Poets.

Browse among the poets: read
something of which you know nothing,
rather than read again something you
have read or had read to you was
the advice given the teachers and other
auditors at the institute Thursday af-
ternoon by Superintendent William L.
Crane.
Mr.. Crane started the teachers into a
definite line of composition work Thurs
day forenoon, and followed his talk
with interpretations of poems in the
afternoon. Mr.. Crane impressed upon
his hearers the benefits they would OBJ
tain by browsing among the poets"
He argues that too many people seek
out poems that they have read many
times, or have had read to them, rather
than hunt for something new, Of
which they know nothing. He Illus
trated his thoughts by selecting from a
collection Of poems re-
CARELESS of author, and showed the
teachers what beautiful things could be
found. He read at random from among
the number, and the establishment of
what could be secured from practice
ally an unknown source was very
marked. Interpretation Of the poems
was given at the conclusion OF each
reading.

RAINFALL HEAVIEST OF SEASON.
Two and Seventeen Hundredths Inches
Fall Up to 8 O'Clock.

Today'S rainfall was the heaviest of
present season, 2.17 inches having fallen
up to o'clock this afternoon, according
to special observation taken by OBJ
server Jones at the request of the T.-R
The rainfall in any twenty-four hours
has not exceeded two inches this year
From the time the storm began up to
o'clock, the precipitation was .21, and
1876 fell from that time up to 3 o'clock,
Streets in the south part of the city
were again flooded, the storm sewers
at Nevada street and those of the
Northwestern not proving anywhere
near adequate to care for the surface
drainage that swept down the streets
from the north. Portions of the North
Westerns and Central's tracks were I'M
der water for a time, and the union
station platform was again flooded.
From the country districts heavy
rainfall is reported, and from what has
been learned the storm was general all
over the state. Reports to the Iowa
Central announced heavy rains all
along It's line IN Iowa. III. c. Hubbard,
of Vienna township, measured the
rainfall in an open VESSEL he had set
out in his yard, and found the precipi-
tation to have been two and three
Fights inches up to o'clock. Mr.. Hub
bard does not think that the small
grain suffered very much, as a result of
the storm, as there was no wind ac-
companying the rain. Hay that is
down may be affected some, but he does
not fear for oats. Unless 1t should
turn off exceptionally warm. he does
not think that the rain will damage the
wheat to any great extent.

A Word on the lnterurban.

Editor Times Republicans: We have
voted the interurban franchise. Now,
what next? Without consulting with
any members of the company, l can
safely say that they will need all the
help and favorable influence we can all
give them.
First, most of us can talk and talk
will do much. 1t does not matter much
how wise or how foolish, it will direct
public attention to the interurban rail-
way So let us begin the talk which
may lead to action.
We will start from Eighth avenue
and run line near the Iowa Central
route to Timber Creek, then up South
Timber Creek to the c., M. & ST. P.
railroad, at or near Ferguson, without
hill From Ferguson, southwark,
Laurel can be reached. by an easy
route, and Gilman, twenty miles fur
Their, by an easy route eastward. North-
ward there are two routes, the Burnet
creek, and the Asher creek routes, over
either of which Beaman and Conrad,
may be reached and connecting by this
an east and west route thru vienna
Center to Gladbrook. From the Asher
creek route, bearing north from the DR..
Burroughs, Binford and Ezra Perrin
farms. the route may reach Liscomb
Bangor, the central part of Liberty
township, and then northward to
New Providence, and further north
west. From Beaman Grundy Center
can be easily reached, and Parkersburg
north from there, should be in the
contemplated route.
Running west thru Ex-Governor
Packard's farm, following a small val
lev. we reach a point In Marletta
township, from which State Center
Melbourne, Rhodes, Clemens and ST.
Anthony can be readily reached. have
been over these routes, except from
Grundy Center north. and Gilman east
I could point out other routes ana
reach almost every town in the county,
bnt some of them VIII have hills to con-
tend with. If l had farm on any
route I would be glad to give the right
of way, for the accommodation such
a road will bring, and l am quite sure
that number of farmers along ana
near the line will aid in many ways In
building the road With some OF these
lines built we will have beet sugar
factory here in five years. How can
we do these things. Shall tell you !!

men in charge of the water works are
hoping that no needlessNdelay Will oc-
