An Iowa farmer has discounted
Col Cody and his wild west show at
getting rich quickly. Not long since
a piece of rubber hose got caught in
his corn-sheller and was fed the chick
ems along with the golden kernels of
the field. The farmer was much elated
soon thereafter to find his hens were
laying the latest style rubber garters
for women, with the silver buckles
and the engraving, private grounds"
already attached and adjusted. Since
that time he has been securing the
countryside for hose. One day he ran
out of chopped hose and tried to fool
the hens by feeding them ON rubber
boot salad. They took the feed all
right, but instead of producing lady's
stocking supporters, delivered him a
bushel basket full of snag-proof rub
Der balls. He is trying all sorts of ex-
periments now and expects soon to
have his biddies trained to producing
a notion store every thirty days.

tell of the wealth Of mineral that
the pick and shovel had drawn
from the loose, top soil, the world
could herdly believe it.
The mining industry OF this
section has lain dormant for
many years, but the past two
years has seen something OF a
change, as a few local parties
have invested small sums in de-
veloping properties, and in every
instance where the money was
judiciously expended in sinking
Ia shaft and developing a mine it
has proved a financial success.
The veins are wide, long and well
defined, so that mining is safe
mt is2as iea-
tons are so positive thatthe find
ing of the veins is an easy mat
ter.
The ores are we'll distributed
through the veins, and in this re-
spect differ from the deposits OF
the Joplin, Mo-, fields in which
the ores occur in lenses or $50
lated deposits, which make for
tunes for those who find them,
and break those who do not hap
pen to strike them when search
ing by drilling, sinking shafts or
drifting.
Mining in the-Pl attville-distlict
resolves itself into a matter ct
using fair judgment in the selec-
ton of location and following it
by decently, economical work.
Neither this country, nor in
fact, any other will warrant the
reckless expenditure OF money,
such as is all too frequent among
managers Of mining properties
who carry the check book for a
wealthy syndicate or stock com
pany.

Historic Portrait Spoiled.

Among the best portraits in the
white house previous to the recent
""renovation was that of Mrs. Benja-

for many years Americas foremost
portrait painter. In the restoration
this portrait has been rehung to suit
some modern Interpretation of the
alleged original plan Of the mansion
by George Washington. In doing this
the paint has been scratched and
scraped and in some important spaces
has been knocked off entirely. Worse
than this, hole about three inches
long has been punched in the canvas.

BACK IN 20
BY F. N. La N G

Away back in 1929, before Chi
cago was hardly known, Galena,
ILL.,, at the head Of navigation on
the Fever, became quite notable
pointon account Of it's shipments
of lead ore that was dug from the
surface Of the ground in the
county northward. The country
was filled with English miners
called cousin Jacks. = Lead or
galena was worth S1OO per ton,
money was flush, the country
new, and times were Wild, 1t
was the frontier mining district
of the country.
In 1849 the gold discoveries Of
California and other and later
gold excitenents in Colorado
allured these miners from their
safe and profitable "diggings
westward when, at the close OF
the war lead dropped to $50 per
ton the western gold fever caused
those who had remained to go
also, thus leaving the country to
the farmers. The soil being of
the very richest character, and
the settlers being content to farm
for a living, the old pits, shafts
and trenches made and left by
the miners we're filled and leveled
for farming purposes sometimes
at a cost Of $50 per acre, and the
country settled down to farming.
Today a ride through this dis
trict Grant county, shows a roll
ing country, nearly every acre OF
which is crop or pasture. Large
farm houses and barns, luxuri-
ant grasses and clover, beautiful
elm and maple shade trees, sleek
cattle and horses in the pastures,

A Chinese innovation.

Some foreign clothing has been TAX
en- into the palace at PelSin for the
emperor and empress dowager to try
on, so that they may come to some
decision regarding its introduction in
official circles. Should the emperor
and empress dowager sanction the
wearing of foreign costumes by the
court an unprecedented departure will
have been taken. In 40 way is the
conservatism of the Chinese shown
more strongly than by their adherence
to their national dress, even when
living in Western countries.
