SIDELIGHTs.
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.

Whether Ottutmwa's colored preach
er and philosopher, the late lamented
Booker Fox, was right in his declara-
ton that ''the world am squa'" or the
more popular version that it is a globe
be right, this story has nothing to do
with either theory. 1t is it's mission to
OFFER substantiation of the oft-repeat-
ed statement that the old world is
growing smaller every day and, Sin
passing, as the self-made man says to
his son, to mention this very papers
influence in illustrating this thought
Every one in South Ottumwa and a
goodly number on the North Side re-
member ]. w. Sampson, for years a
business man who when he wasn't sell
ing drugs in "Pickwick" was moulding
bullets in the back of his store or
shooting hundreds of yards at target
in company with some of his cronies
of the old Ottumwa Rifle club. Every.
body who knows him will remember
that none of their acquaintance, be
he preacher, lawyer, or even editor,
is more truthful than was Mr.. Samp-
son. His word was good as his note
and for that reason there is every rea-
son to believe the little tale he tells in
letter to an Ottumwa friend, written
from his home in the Isle of Pines,
somewhere in the South Atlantic re-
gions.
Mr.. Sampson has forsaken the cause
of helping the doctors by concocting
the mixtures their fertile brains invent
and is now interested in lumber trade
in the land of pines. According to a
letter received by one of his old asso-
ciates few days ago, he was walking
through forest looking for likely trees
to cut down and ship to the States
when he CHANGED upon one
big pine which caught his eye not be-
cause of its commercial value as much
as for the fact that nailed to its bark
was fragment of newspaper.
Now it is an uncommon experience,
to say the least, to chance upon such
a reminder of civilization in an out-of-
the-way corner of the world like the
Isle of Pines, and the additional fact
as Mr.. Sampson explains in his letter,
the forest in which he was walking
was. ten miles from any railroad or
means OF conveyance except the wagon
in which he had come, makes the find
ing of the newspaper more odd.
That can all be explained much cas-
Ter, however. than what is to come.
Like a good dinner, ! have chosen to
keep this morsel until the last and it is
probably not out of place to again state
that Mr.. Sampson has always been
known for his strict faithfulness to the
truth. The most interesting part of
his letter was the information that, on

"'Sh-h-h."

"Sh-h-h."
Around newspaper offices there are
certain well defined ideas among the
men who make the paper" One of
these has to do with poetry 1t would
be hard to travel all over the country
and find a single man behind the
typewriter" who would say that the
poetry composed by local talent is any
thing but bum" Once in a while
however, even the most rigid rules are
disproved. even the oldest ideas are
tumbled like house of cards, and the
composition which is published here
with is one of the exceptions which
prove the rule. 1t is the work of a local
man, alone and unaided. one who sell
dom breaks into print, but who, if he
will for a long enough time forsake his
present vocation of taking dictation
and writing business letters, may
sometime have his name written along
with those of Riley, Field, and others
who write so that their readers say, Il
