The New Volume Promises More At
tracfiye Fiction, Fan, and Informa-
fiOn than Ever.
1t has seemed in years past as if ST.
NICHOLAS, that true and tried friend of
| more than one generation, was as good
as a magazine could possibly be; but
1905 promises to be banner year.
First and foremost in Importance comes
the new serial, Queen Xxi of Ix,'' by L.
Frank Baum, author of The Wizard of
o." "Father Goose-His Book" ETC.,
etc. Beginning in November 1904, this
new story will run to October, 1905
Queen Xxi of TX" will be notable for it's
Illustrations, sixteen full.pages in COLOR
besides sixty or more colored illustra-
tons in the text. But this feast of fun
and fancy will have plenty of richly at
tractive short stories for company.
Just few of those who will contribute
fiction and sketches through the year are
Commander Robert E. Peary, Bertha
Runkle, Joaquin Miller, Elliot Flower,
Winifred M. Kirkland, Captain Harold
Hammond, U. S. A. Dane Coolidge. Les.

'The Practical Boy will be series of
twelve valuable papers for the boy who
likes to do things. by JOSEPH H. Adams,
for years chief designer of artistic wood
and metal work for a big m anufact-
ing firm fn New York. The papers will
treat, among other subjects, simple car
pentrv and the use of tools, decorating a
boys room, and making of camping out
fits, ice-boats, skating sails, skees, a home
made gymnasium, boats, motor-boats.
canoes, wind-mills, power-wheels, pet
shelters, and other handicraft.
Another important series of papers.
six in number, by DIR. E. E. Walker, will
discuss Until the Doctor Comes" These
are designed to tell. briefly and clearly,
what to do in case of accident or sudden ill
ness, burns. sunstroke, sprainS, fractures,
apparent drowning. etc.
Charles III. Cafln, one of Americas
leading art critics. has prepared for the
1905 ST. NICHOLAS series of articles on
"How to Study Pictures" in which he
adopts the plan of contrasting, in each
article, the work of some great artist
with that of any equally great master
showing single picture painted by each,
and pointing out the Hkenesses and Diff
ferences between the two pictures and
the methods of the two painters. Many
other notable contributions will add to
the value and interest of ST. NICHOLAS
during 1905.
In every family where there are young
people, ST. NICHOLAS should be not alone
a welcome visitor and a valued friend,
but a necessity. Today is the best time
to subscribe Tor 1905.

Twentieth Wedding Anniversary.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Wallace was the scene of a very pleasant
gathering, Friday evening, when their
cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Miller of
Barton, celebrated their twentieth we'd
ding anniversary. Mr.. and Mrs. Miller
were married in this same house and it
was happy coincidence that an uncle
of theirs lived there at that time and that
their cousins should occupy it now. Mr..
and Mrs. Miller are pleasantly remem-
bered as former residents here, and con-
template returning here to reside in the
near future. A pleasant social time was
spent, refreshments were served. and
during the evening selections on the
piano were given by Miss Bennett, and
MIR. Miller sang some of the Scotch songs
with which he used to entertain the peo-
pie of St. Johnsbury. The folio wing peo-
pie were present: Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Wallace, Mr.. and Mrs. David Sutton,
Mrs. McLeavy, Miss Carrie Wallace, Mr..
and Mrs. Grady, Miss Hattie McLeavy,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald, Miss Bennett,

Excellent Egg Producer.

Poultrymen are probably no more
honest than other people, but when they
say certain Poultry Food ISIS good ar

truth. III. M. Maxfeld, the present
member of the House of Representa-

lows: "I have sold Pages Perfected
Poultry Food for several years and

Millions of eopIe

in years gone by have been deceived
by alleged eye specialists. We find
, in the metropolitan newspapers, mag.
azines, &c, offers of miraculous eye
treatment from eminent,big city hum
bugs who promise what every physi-
clan if asked will say is impossible,
In fifty years of experience fitting
glasses in England, Canada and the
United States, | have known no city
where people have been so thorough
ly and constantly humbugged as in
Oskaloosa and Mahaska county.
Knowing this to be true, I feel CRATE
full for the liberal patronage given me.
l fully believe there are no more lib
eral people on earth than are found
, in Manaska county.
There are now thousands who in
tend getting me to fit glasses to their
eyes before l leave. None of these
people will go elsewhere for glasses,
and why? That can be easily answer
ed. Sixteen months of skillful, con-
scientious work has shown that there
is no risk, no mistakes and no fail
ures here. My prices are also low,
consequently those who know my
reputation unhesitatingly apply to me
for glasses for themselves and fami-
lies. Many of the foremost citizens
have visited the oculists of Chicago
and other cities and paid enormous
prices for glasses to be disappointed,
Afterwards they came to me and were
fitted to satisfactory glasses for a
small fraction, say one-fifth or one
sixth of the price paid elsewhere.
About twenty-five such live in Oska-
loosa. They are very conservative
people of high, position financially
and socially, who would dislike to

This has given the people conf

all other dealers in the county put
together. Advertising costs and it
would require many advertisements
to give the many excellent reasons
why you should have me fit your
glasses. Many good reasons you
know, but will suggest one, just
this: There is not one man in all the

Local Guards Reviewed by State
and Army Officers.

Company f Of Oskaloosa, Fifty
through annual inspection and drill
Monday evening by the state officials.
The inspection was the most rigid
that it has ever been, but the com
pany showed up in a way that was
pleasing alike to both officers and
men and the company is clearly in no
immediate danger of being mustered
out. Captain Fred Moore and Lieu
tenants Ii. B. Speck and Norman Kis-
sick are to be congratulated upon the
excellent showing made.
The inspection officers were In
spector General Colonel John Prime,
Assistant Inspector General Major
John Mume and Major Olmstead, rep
resenting the regular army. Major
F. E. Wetherell, OF the Fifty-fourth,
was also of the inspecting party. The
officers came to the city Monday fore
noon and took charge of the company
quarters, going over everything
thoroughly. The guns were especial.
ly carefully examined The depart
ment intends that the new Krags
shall be well treated and where there
was any possible defect in the keep
ing if the piece it was pointed out.
The clothing of the company came in
for considerable criticism on account
of the way it has been kept, and some
Of the lockers were found with dirt
and dust in the bottoms. The rec
ords of the company were found to
be kept in a satisfactory manner
The inspection and drill of the
evening was one of the most severe
and thorough to which the company
mas ever been subjected. They were
put through all manner of movements
and evolutions. This part of the in
spection was the most satisfactory
for the company made a very excellent
showing 1t is in the best condition
it has ever been but it. may not re-
ceive as high per cent as it has
some times heretofore, on account of
the severity Of the inspection and
drill. The state guard is no longer
looked upon as a mere! makesbelieve
and plaything, but its. efficiency is
along the same lines as required of
the regular army and the inspection
is the same. The excellence of a
guard company is now measured by
the standards of the regular army.
