New Automobile Invention.

G.. L. Hinch. of Wavelly, has APP
piled for patent on an invention
that he confidently expects will re-
volutiouize the automobile business.
Said invention consists of a coutriv-
ance by which springs in the hubs OF
the wheels relieve the machine oe all
jar, thus doing away with the neces-
sity of pneumatic tires. Claus Holm
sbehn and Chris Fosselman lave each
bought fourth share in tie invention,
and the former is now engaged in
building a working model that will be
tested on one of our Waverly automo-
biles in the near future. Mr.. Hohns-
behn is enthusiastic over the inven-
tion aud says that there is no question
of its practicability. Shodld it prove
to be 30, the gentle nen undoubtedly
have a big thing, s:uce Large item
in the first cost, and really the
largest in the expense of maintaining
automobiles, is that of tires. A set
costs upwards of 800 an with or
binary usage is good for only one
season.

Trade Dollars Circulated.

Several of our merchants have been
receiving trade dollars, of late, in
payment for goods, and, for the benefit
of those who may not have discovered
the coins, we warn the public to ex-
anime the dollars which they may
receive. The trade dollar was first
coined in the United States minis in
1878, for Chinese trade. to compete
with Mexican dollars and other foreign
coins of similar values. The coinage
ceased in 1878, and in 1887 the
United States Treasury Department
dropped the trade dollar from the list
of good coins. While the trade dol
lar contains 400 grains of silver, the
standard dollar contains but 4l2. 8
grains. The former is worth only
about 80 cents, the actual value of the
silver bullion, while the latter is
redeemable at a hundred cents, be-
cause Uncle Sam is willing to pay it.
The trade dollar is about the size and
weight of the standard dollar. but
the wings of the eagle are dropping
and instead of the head of Columbia,
a full length figure appears, and the
words trade dollar" are clearly WISH
BILE, if the coin be examined. Indie

To remove the odor of paint from a
room, slice several ohio Is in pail of
water. You can make faded dress
perfectly white by washing it in boil
ing cream of tartar water.
If an apple or orange is placed in a
jar of fresh cookies it will import to
the cookies delicate flavor.
Rub little thin cold starch over
windows or mirrows and wipe off with
a soft cloth. This produces the most
shiny results.
Apples aid the stomach in the diges-
ton of other foods and therefore the
best results are obtained from eating
them after rather than before meals.
When cooking food If it becomes
slightly scorched place the dish con-
tanning it, at once in basin of cold
water and the scorched taste will
disappear.

Wish il Were So.

Some rattle Drained correspondent
at Dubuque sends TO the st. Paul Dis
patch the following telegram concern
ing the iron deposits of northeastern
Iowa:
The great iron deposits of ALBANIA
kee and Winnesheik counties, in ex-
IRENE Northeast Iowa, are to be de-
veloped after many years of delay.
The iron deposit is declared one OF the
finest in the country, covering an area
of over one hundred square miles, and
lying, in large part of this district,
practically at the surface. 1t has been
neglected because it is about twenty
miles back from the Mississippi river,
and in very rough region. Dubuque
and Eastern capital have united and
organized company that will build
a railroad into the iron section from
Waukon. The ore will be hauled to
the Mississippi at Lansing, thence
fioated by barge to this city. A blast
furnace will be built here. Thorough
tests Of these ores have proved them
equal to any except the very finest
of the Mesaba range.

That Boy of Yours.

1t may always have been so, but it
is especially true today, that this
country is producing higher type of
womanhood than manhood.
In all our towns and cities there are
more young women whom you woold
welcome to your homes as daughters
in-law than young men whom you
would welcome as sons-in-law.
There are reasons why this is so, but
there is no excuse that it is so.
There is nothing in the world so we'll
worth looking after as the boy, and
there is no human being in the world
so neglected.
We have provided little place, scant
room for him. He is welcome to the
home as a baby, and he is welcome as
man, but there is little welcome for
him as a boy.
We chaperon our girls and carefully
guard them against unworthy boys,
but we leave the boy to choose for
himself his associates and his achieve
ments. We give him much sage
advice, perhaps, but little sympathetic
guidance. The loneliest, most unloved
human creature is the boy.
Girls are naturally winsome, gentle
and companionable. They win their
way to homes and hearts, but the boy
noisy, awkward, mischievous, is in
vited into few homes and feels none
too much at home in his own. About
the only door that swings with sure
welcome to the boy, about the only
chair that is showed near the fire
especially for the boy, about the only
place where he is sure of cordial
greeting-is where he ought not to go.
1t is one of the hardest things in the
world to get hold of boy-to get
sure grip ON him.
1t is hard to win the companionship,
the faith and confidence of your boy.
He has almost occult powers of
observation and conclusion. You
think you know him through an oc-
casional glance, but the chances are
he knows you far better than you know
him.
He is hungry for companionship and
he will have it. He wants the com
partnership of boys and nothing will
take its place.
If the crime of selfishness has so in
cased your heart that the joys and
hopes of your boy cannot enter into
it, the boy is to be pitied, but so are
you.
Few fathers and SONS are more than
fairly intimate acquaintance. 1t is
always the fathers fault. -Exchange.

lnyents a Traction Eagine.

Frank Johnson has completed a
model of a traction engine which has
a new reverse gear on which Frank
hopes to get patent and win for
tune. The model is 80 inches long
and weighs AZ pounds. 1t is complete
in every detail and was made by Frank
without any of the advantages of a
machine shop. He is able to steam
up to 20 pounds pressure and show off
the fine points of his engine. His
reverse gear, on which he applies for
a patent, is extremely simple and
WEIGHS only six pounds; on an ordinary
machine it weighs about 100 pounds.
The machine can be operated with
one hand. The model was sent to
the patent office at Washington on
Tuesday. -Elkader Argus.

The Origin of Buster Brown

The Marquise De Fontenoy, English
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune.
gives the following as the origin and
inspiration of that popular character,
Buster Brown"
Buster Brown" has become so
familiar q name to the American news
paper reading public, through the
clever caricatures of that typical
specimen of American boyhood por-
trayed by r. f. Outcault in The Chi
cago Tribune, the New York Herald.
and other leading papers, that it may
interest people here to know that
Buster" Brown was the name by
which one of the most popular and
gallant of Anglo-Indian generals, the
late General Sir James Browne. was
known, not only in his boyhood but
likewise throughout his splendid mill
tary career in India and in Egypt
He got the name of Buster" at
school, at AddiscOmbe, by his prowess
and forcefulness at football, and that
he was as unconventional as the Ameri-
can Buster Brown" of the present
day will be realized from the recital
OF his first encounter, with the enemy
on the Indian frontier. His camp was
attacked by night. Browne was in
his nightshirt, and not finding his
sword at once he seized one of the
poles of his tent and swept down the
raiders with it, appearing to them in
the light of something supernatural.
His influence with the natives was
extraordinary, and was due to two
strange causes, which are worth while
relating. 1t seems that one day while
going through the bazaar at Kohat
he saw an old Afghan, who was
being maltreated by the natives,
beaten, and stoned. Buster
Browne went to his rescue, drove of
his assailants, took him home to his
bungalow, fed him, and kept him
until his wounds were healed.

Things Made out of Paper.

The Krupp company of Essen is
turning out field pieces made of paper.
They have half the lightness of forged
steel, but will endure an equal strain.
They are mounted on light carriage,
to be drawn by infantry. 1t is not
generally remembered that the first
use of paper for the manufacture OF
all kinds of domestic articles, boats
and tables originated in Troy, n. Y.

Of paper mache and have proved to be

Quail Dying in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin farmers state that thous-
ands of quill are rstarving to death.
The country roads are lined with
quail searching for something to eat,
and in many cases the little fellows
fly into barns and granaries in search
of grain. The thawing and freezing
of the early winter formed coating
of ice over the ground,thro' which the
quail cannot scratch to secure food.
In several instances sentire fiocks of
them have been found huddled to-
gether in hedges, dead, caused by the
severe weather and lack of food.
Many farmers are feeding the quail on
their places, and hunger tempts them
to leave their hiding places while the
grain is being scattered on the ground.

She Got Attention All Right.

An old lady from Ossian took her
first railroad trip last week, and had
quite an experience, it is told. She
noticed the bell cord overhead, and
turning to boy, she said: Sonny.
what's that for?'' "That, marm," he
said, with a mischievous twinkle in
his eye, sis to ring the bell when you
want something to eat" Shortly
afterwards the old lady reached her
umbrella up to the cord and gave it
a vigorous pull. The whistle sounded,
the brakes were applied, the train
began to slacken its speed, windows
were thrown up, questions asked, and
confusion reigned among the pas
sengers. The old lady sat calmly
through it all, little dreaming that
she was the cause of the excitement.
Presently Conductor Andy Scion
came running through the train and
asked: "Who pulled the bell?" ~
did," replied the old lady meekly.
"Well, what do you want?" asked
Andy impatiently. well, said the
old lady meditaively, "you may bring
me some ham sandwiches and cup
of tea, if you will. "-Waukon Demo-

Origin of Name "Hawkeye.'

Every school child knows that Iowa
is the "Hawkeye" state, and that it's
citizens are called Hawkeyes. " But
few of them or their elders for that
matter are familiar with the true
origin of this sobriquet. Among some
documents at the Iowa Masonic library
at Cedar Rapids was found manu-
script which throws light on this
heretofore debatable subject. 1t is
the duplicate of an interview given
out years ago by the late Theodore S.
PArvin, who was grand secretary and
librarian of the Masonic grand lodge
from its organization in January 1874
to the time of his death. In that
interview Grand Secretary Parvin
said:
Il was the first private secretary of
Governor Lucas, Iowa's first governor
1t was the custom in the fall of 1885,
the territory having been organized
July 4, preceding, for the leading
citizens of Burlington, the territory
capital, to assemble of evenings at the
parlor of the Burlington hotel, where
he boarded, where subject matters
were freely discussed.
lone evening question arose as to
what term should be selected to de-
signate the people of Iowa. Jane
G.. Edwards, at the time editing the
Burlington Hawkeye and Patriot (the
latter portion of the name being
dropped later, stated to us that a
correspondent of his paper, David
Rorer, a citizen of Burlington, had
suggested to him the name "Hawkeye"
which he (Edwards) thought very
suitable and proper. The company
all joined with him and agreed to
accept the term and to promulgate
it.; thereupon, Mr.. Edwards in the
next issue of his paper, and also Mr..
James Clark, who later became gov
erpor of Iowa, at the time editing
the Iowa Territorial Gazette at Bur-
lington, also published the same in
his paper, both of which were then
weellies.
Besides myself in the governor S
office. there was young friend of
mine, Jesse Williams. who was clerk
of Indian affairs. Both OF us like
Governor Lucas. were from Ohio. l
was the regular correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, the leading
wing paper of the.west, and Williams
of the Ohio Statesman at Columbus,
the leading Democratic paper of the
west. We communicated to our
papers what we had agreed upon and
the term "Hawkeye" being published
in the leading Ohio papers (whose
Governor Lucas had been for two
terms, took well, especially from its
similarity to their own cosnomen of
Buckeye. F" From that day and from
these circumstances, the people of
Iowa have ever been at home and
abroad known as the "Ha wk eyes"
