PRAIRIE
WooDMAN. SPARE THAT TREE.


l remember, l remember, the house
where | was born,
The little window where the sun came
peeping in at morn,
AT least l have the right to think the
sun came peeping through,
Though l have no recollection of it
for a year or two.
| remember well the big. red barn,
each COW and horse and lamb,
The meadow and the pasture land, the
mill pond and the dam,
But towering up above them all as
things that gave me joy,
l remember the big apple tree l fell
from when a boy!
That tough and gnarled old apple tree,
that always brings to me
The smell of arnica and salve, in fra
grant memory,
Let others sing the smell of blossoms
that the tree recalls,
For me, | have tho memory of a score
or two of falls.
How mother used to scream when |
was cleaving through the air,
Head first, like some spent rocket, and
how father used to swear!
And both of them would pick me up
from ,pdorpaotb tho troa
To find the fall had only knocked the
wind clean out of me!
Betimes in youth l varied the spell OF
monotony,
By falling from some other height
than that old apple tree,
From barn, hay rick and ladder in my
wild career l fell,
And once / broke all records known
by falling down the well.
But that tree was my reliance-every
gnarled and twisted bough
Kept inviting me to fall from it, nc
matter when or how.
To climb its trunk and branches high
always felt at ease,
And then to fall and break as many
bones as l might please.
Oh, Woodman, spare that tree, l pray
touch not a single bough,
In youth it let me fall from it and
I'll protect it now.
Oh, sheathe thine axe and go away
back and sit down, | beg,
To every limb it has I owe a broker
arm OF leg.
Nay, It's not mawkish sentiment in
spires me to this prayer,
To take thine axe from out it's trunl
and leave it standing there;
I'm practicing-a doctor, now-tha
tree has many joys.
Since the family that lives here ha'
half a dozen boys.

anyone is for that matter, but if we can
get good, clean carnival for encamp.
ment week, believe it would be bene-
ficlal to the guard and also to the many
business men of the city. Crowds
would be insured, for while we may
have good attendance at all the mill
tary exercises during the day, there is
nothing to entertain those who will be
upon the streets in the evening and
this feature should have attention.
Would be Strenuous Week.
Evidently Muscatine has never had
an encampment, neither has it ever
undertaken a street fair. One at a
time is enough to satisfy the longings
and dreams of the most ardent admir-
ers of strenuous life. A combination
of both would be pretty stiff dose for
the most strenuous cowboy metropolis
of the good old days when the cow
puncher reigned supreme in the wild
and woody west"

MAY CLOSE SALOONS
SiNJuNcTIoN CASE IN DIES MONIES

Saloons May be Closed.

The success or failure of an injunc--
ton suit just begun in the Des Moines
court against the owners of property
used for saloon and Lorenz Hill, the
proprietor of the saloon, will affect
those interested in the liquor business
throughout the state and may result in
the closing or the several Ottumwa
saloons. The case which is being
tried as test case is an injunction
against Lorenz ill, tenant, and the
Owners of the building at the northeast

acted, contained a provision to the eff

sent of the property owners within fiji,
ty feet of the premises to be occupied
with liquor business. In test suits
started it was claimed that the word
premises meant the entire property or
building in which the saloon was situ-
ated. The supreme court held that the
word meant only the room actually
occupied for saloon purposes.
When the commissioners revised
the code in 1897. they changed the
word premises in this section of the
liquor law to property"
s.In the injunction suit now pending 1t is
claimed that the consent must be obtained
from all resident owners within fifty feet
of the building In which this saloon is To-
Gated, and not the particular room it occu-
pies. The building is so located that 1t

While operating a buzz saw in a
malleable iron foundry. at Troy, Henry
Simons was suddenly stricken with.
vertigo and fell almost upon the swift
ly revolving saw. But the same good
fortune that carried him unwounded
through four years of active service
during the Civil war again preserved
his life. The sudden illness which
brought him SO near an awful death
was the direct result of his war expert
.ence, as Mr.. Simons staed to a report
er who called at his comfortable home
at No. Linden avenue. Troy, N. Y.
Ever since the campaign Of New Or
leans in 1861" he said, II have been
afflicted with malaria and frequent at
tacks Of acute gastritis, brought on by
the constant exposure and the malari-
al atmosphere of the bayou country.
At times l was subject to attacks of
vertigo and it was a seizure of this
kind that so nearly ended my life.
For over thirty years employed
the best physicians but they were I'M
able to give me any permanent relief.

tation of the heart, belching of wind
and acute pain in the small of my
back. was in weakened condition
generally and my appetite was tickle.
Zone day I saw DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People mentioned in a
local newspaper and decided to try
them. Before / had finished the first
box noticed that my appetite had i'm
proved and that was much stronger.
That also marked the end of the at
tacks of extreme vertigo. l kept on
taking the pills and my recovery from
that time was gradual but steady. I
have recommended DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to a number of people and I am
glad to endorse the remedy that has
done so much for me-"
Mr.. Simons is a member of the
Grand Army Of the Republic and serv-
ed in Company II, Twelfth Connecti-
cut Volunteer infantry. He was one of
1900 prisoners taken by the Confeder-
ates at the battle of Cedar Creek dur
ing the campaign in the Shenandoah
valley, made famous by Sheridan's
ride. He was taken to Libby prison
where he was confined for months be-
fore being exchanged.
Hundreds of Civil war veterans both
Union and Confederate. whose health
was broken by hardships in the army
as well as hundreds OF others run down
by overwork, worry or excuses OF
some sort, owe their lives and happi-
ness to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

blood and nerves these pills have cur
ed many stubborn cases of nervous

WELL ORGANIZED
ALL OVER IOWA
y ARE FULL OF INTEREST AND
ENTHUSIASM.
County chairmen Are Working Hard
and All the Party Leaders are To-
sether in Their Efforts to Make a
Good Showing This Year.

Des Moines, Sept. 9.-(Special.) -In
spite OF the fact that this is supposed
to be an off year in politics, the re-
ports which have been received at re-
publican headquarters from the differ
ent counties indicate that the state is
better organized for the campaign
than it was at this time last year.
About eight of the counties have al
ready organized their committees for
the coming campaign, and several
more will be organized before the end
of this week. BY the middle of Sep
TENDER all but about a dozen of the
republican county committees will be
organized and ready for work. Last
year a much larger number of coun-
ties were unorganized at this time
than this year. This indicates that
the campaign will not lag on account
of the slowness of the counties in or
ganizing. Chairman Spence is well
pleased at the interest that has been
manifested so far and he expects an
enthusiastic campaign.
