She Kent Fer Word.

A funny story is told concerning
Catherine Of Berain, Welsh woman,
who was known as the mother of
Wales. because she founded so many
families. "She was first married to
John Salisbury Of Lleweni and be-
came the mother of Sir John Salus-
bury, who was born with two thumbs
to each hand and was noted for his
prodigious strength. At the funeral of
her husband, Sir Richard Clough
gave her his arm. Outside the church
yard stood Maurice Wynn of Gwydir
awaiting Il decent opportunity of pro-
posing to her. AS she issued from the
gate he did this. Very sorry,' replied
Catherine, but l have just accepted
Sir Richard Clough. Should 1 survive

good as her word and married yet a

Marriage In A1eerin.

The farther south one travels the
earlier one finds boys and girls arrive
at manageable age. Some time ago a
census was taken in Algeria, and then
it was found that the youngest married
man" was twelve years old and that
many lads of thirteen had several
wives. \ divorced husband of fifteen
and widower of the same age were
also discovered. AS might be expected,
the girls are even more precocious than
the boys, and, though twelve is the
usual age, many are married at eleven.
There We're found to be 1S9 widows of
fifteen and no fewer than 1,176 divorc-
ed wives of the same age.

A Vigorous Retort.

Lord Erslline, the famous English
lawyer, once met a ruttian driver who
was belaboring his horse, miserable,

who was intensely fond of animals, re-

'it's my own; mayn't I use it as

The Kimballton Creamery.

Kimballton is now equipped with
one of the best creameries in Western
Iowa. Its machinery and location is
thoroughly practical and up-to-date
in all modern improvements.
Years ago far-sighted investors Sc
lected this valuable spot for the loca-
tion of creamery and it has filled
every expectation. They purchased
two acres for which they paid $500.
This small patch of land contained a
spring of excellent water which has
furnished one and one-quarter inch
stream for the past twenty years.
Recently new and very substanti-
al building has been erected of the
excellent Van Meter brick, with walls
and partitions twelve inches thick.
No expense has been saved to make
this building of the best; it has a
fiat roof, been we'll ceiled, cement
floors in every room and the inside
throughout has received an artistic
job of painting.
The conveniences of the creamery
are far beyond the average. The
spring is about twenty-fi five feet above
the floor of the creamery, thus giving
ample force in supplying water any
place in the building and this fact is
appreciated and used to the fullest ex-
tent. The facilities for handling the
milk is of the best, all handled by
by machinery from the time it is
weighed. The milk is cooked by the
exhausted steam which purifies and
preserves it.
The buttermaker rises about 4 a.
M, replenishes his fire which is never
allowed to go out and starts the
churn. The amount Of butter churn-
ed each day is about 400 pounds BY
the time the haulers arrive, which is
about eight O'Clock in the morning,
he is through churning and ready to
skim as the loads drive up. The haul
! ers deliver the cooked milk to his
