HIS FIRST STORY.

He was just from college and had
secured place on the reportorial staff
of morning paper. His first assign
ment was to report fire. He wrote
it up in grand style, making half
column article of it. beginning thus
Suddenly on the still night air rang
the shriIl Cry of fire, and .simultan-
eously the devouring tongue of flame,
whose light as it played along the
roofs edge had caught the eagle eye
of the midnight watcher, leaped forth,
no longer playful. but fierce and an
cry in it's consuming greed. Like
glowing snaky demons, the lurid links
entwined the doomed building; in
venomous Kisses and spurts the flames
shot into the overhauging darkness,
while from every window and door
poured forth dense sulphurous vapor,
the deadly, suffocated breath of an
imprisoned fiend," etc. Next morning
the embryo journalist was up early to
see how his brilliant effort looked in
print, and this is what he read: "Ma-

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis.
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand A physician
should always be called. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that
pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of the grip, and
that by giving Chamberlain Cough
Remedy the threatened attack of pneu-
monia may be warded off. This reme-
dy is also used by physicians in the
treatment of pneumonia with the best
results. DR.. w. j. Smith, of Sanders,
Ala, who is also druggist, says of
it: II have been selling Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and prescribing
it in my practice for the past six
years. l use it in cases of pneumonia
and have always gotten the best re-.
Suits" Sold by Engbretson' Phar-

CHARIVARI BY 'PHONE.

The telephone is being put to new
uses all the time, the latest coming
from Postville where there was q
wedding few evenings ago, and up
on answering ring at the telephone,
the bride and groom we're met with a
charivari party in full operation, at
least as far as sound went, the re-
ceivers being down all along the line
and at each house was one or more
parties with tin pans, horns and
whistles and the appliances that go to
make up first class charivari party.
On the whole we think this a good
way. -Waukon Standard.

A LIVE CHINAWOMAN.

We have real. live Chinese woman
in town and she is an object of much
curiosity. We cannot tell what her
name is but she or her husband is in
some way related to Sam. Lee, the
proprietor of our city laundry. At
present she dresses in much the same
style as her husband but as she seems
to have the desire to dress and appear
more like q "Melican" woman, a
dressmaker has been engaged to fit. her
out in the latest fashions. Charles

BENNY ON THE HEN.

Tie hen is the female sex OF the
rooster. She is very useful when you
want eggs, which are sometimes 40
cents a dozen and are unwholesome if
eaten copiously when they are hard
boiled. The hen freauents barns and
other agricultural places, and is al
ways hungry except when she is set
ting, at which time she becomes much
irritated and will infict severe in
juries upon you if you attempt to
caress her. Once my uncle Bertram
had hen that set for five weeks OF a
walnut, two boot heels, and a glass
stopper. She did not hatch anything.
From this we learn that we should
have some great object in life and
stick to 1t. Let US be punctual in our
attendance at school and mind bur be-
loved teacher. Some hens have
feathers all the way down their legs.
To tell when a hen is done you cook
her five or six hours and then stick q
fork into her chest, but prefer nice
piece of custard pie. Elk.

NOT ONTO CITY WAYS.

We don't just understand city ways,
but there are many things about them
that are funny. A handsome waiter
girl in Des Moines the other day at
dinner was talking to young gallant

suile on her face that was invigorat.
ing. A gentleman by. our side said
to her. "I'll 60 him one better, bring
me plain dinner. Away she went
and came back with beefsteak as big
as tea saucer. We thought we mad
struck the key note so we told her that
we didn't know just what they meant
but that we would 60 the last man
one better and the first one two bet

and to bring us dinner for white
man and bring it quick. And away
she went and fetched us better steak
than the other fellow got, it was as
big as a palm leaf fan, and straw
berries and fresh cucumbers and fried
oysters, and then she looked demure
as she tore off little slip and wrote
81. % and we bowed and looked sweet
while the other fellows scowled.. We
don't know just how it happened but
there was more genuine tenderness in
that waiter girls eyes than there was
in the beefsteak, and that was not
tough. Britt Tribune.

FOOL BILLS.

Some of the greatest hocus pocus
bills are seeing light at Des Moines
that the world ever knew. One great
head made of dough principally has
evolved bill compelling candidates
for marriage to pass physical exami-
nation with some M. D. doctor. or
physician as the case may be before a
license can be issued. The couple
must have a certificate stating
whether or no they are sound, where
they are the soundest, and how much,
in case of absence of doctor they must
consult horse doctor. and when
neither one is to be found they must
have a certificate from the township
clerk. We don't like the bill. Symp-
toms differ in young folks in love, and
what a doctor would diagnose as
mumps might turn out to be worms Or
vica versa. We have noticed that the
doctors can tell great deal more
about what ails a man by taking him
apart after he is dead. and this is not
practicable in all cases when a matri-
monial certificate Ia required on short
notice. We would substitute bill if
we were legislator making the couple
go through athletic exercises. scoring
the points, and then averaging them
up. any one could tell whether or not
they were fit candidates for matrimony
For instance, give the girl sock to
darn and time her, with dimensions
of the hole in the sock stated in SQUARE
inches, Make the young man carry a
doll baby lengthwise of hall covered
with oil cloth, barefooted and sprinkle
snow Oh the oil cloth. Time him,
how many laps an hour. Give the girl
ten yards of yellow flannel, a spool of
thread a thimble and make her make
clothes for the doll baby, score the pro-
duct in fit, style, workmanship and
speed. Make the boy jump up in the
night. get kindling. make a fire. and
give him just ten minutes to have hot
water ready. We don't believe in
these darn fool restrictions to marriage,
make it easy, safe. speedy, but make
the requisites practical. If a young
couple are worth ten cents for any
thing on earth they will want the very
instructions we have given and they
may save life. Keep the doctors out
of the scheme until after marriage
they will get their graft in soon
enough. We hope the old CATERS bill
will get pigeon-ho!ed under the
bridge. Britt Tribune.

crime being committed near his home
while he was returning from a market
ing trip to Soldiers Grove. Tower.
Vile is short ways east of Prairie

door of two young men who were re-

same time as was the elderly man

men are James Dunno and Claude

week Wednesday 1t was thought that
the death was accidental but later de-
velopments led to the arrest of the
two men who have now made partial

weight for the beef is 400 pounds

MASON CITY PUBLIC BUILDING.

MASON CITY PUBLIC BUILDING.
Congressman Haugen is holding out
hope that the Mason City public build
ing will receive an appropriation at
this session of congress. In letter
to Mr.. j. H. Anundson he writes
that the subcommittee of the House
of Representatives, has reported in
favor of $40. 900 for the Mason Clty
Building. He adds that the House
leaders are opposed to passing any
public building bills, but he has
strong hopes of winning out. Our
people wish he may succeed. 1t has
been given out that owing to the large
demand for new navy and for funds
to pay for the Panama canal, that no
bill appropriating money for public
buildings shall pass this session. The
chances for this city or any other ask
ing for new building are pretty poor
for the next year. Mason City Repub-
