body would touch it for several hours,
but finally baggage man took it and
started for our apartments, and got
lost, and didn't show up for two days,
and when it was finally landed on the
sidewalk nobody would carry it up
stairs, and dad and had to lug it up
two flights, and l thought dad would
have apoplexy.
We found a guide who could talk
New Orleans English and he said it
would cost three dollars to square it
with the servants at the hotel, and
have the boycott removed from our
baggage, and dad paid it, and now he
coughs up tip every time he sees a
servant look at him. He pays when
he goes in a restaurant and when he
comes out, and says he is cured of
trying to reform the customs of any
body else's country.
We have engaged a guide to stay
with us day and night. The guide
took us out for bat last night, and
dad had the time of his life. Dad has
drank good deal OF spurious and
malt liquors in his time, but I don't
think he ever INDUCED much in cham
payne at three or four dollars a bot
tie at home. Maybe he has been saw
ing himself up till he got over here,
where champagne is cheap and it
takes several quarts to make you see
angels. The guide took us to one of
these bullyvards, where there are ia
bles out on the sidewalk, and you
can eat and drink and look at the
dukes and counts and dutchesses and
things promenading up and down,
flirting like sin, and We sat down to
table and ordered things to eat and
drink. and dad looked like Uncle Sam,
and felt his oats.
When he had drank few thimble-
fuls of absinthe, and some champagne,
and eat plateful Of frogs, he was
just ripe for. trouble. A woman and
man at an adjoining table had one
of these white dogs that is sheared
like hedge fence, with spots of long
hair left on in places. and dad coaxed
the dog over to our table and began
to feed him frogs legs, and the wom-
an began to talk French out loud, and
look cross at dad, and the count that
was with her came over to our table
and looked at dad in a tone of voice
that meant trouble, and said some
thing sassy, and the guide said the
man wanted to fight a duel because dad
had contaminated the ,woman's dog,
and dad got mad and offered to wipe
out the whole place, and he got up
with champagne bottle and looked
defiance at the count, and the walters
began to scatter, when the woman
came up to dad and begged him not
to hurt the count, and as she spoke
broken English dad could understand
her, and she looked so beautiful, and
her eyes were filed with tears, and
dad relented and said: Don't cry,

dear, won't hurt the little runt." She
was SO glad dad was not going to kill
the count that she threw herself into
his arms and thanked dear America
for producing such grand citizen,
such brave man as dad, who could

weak man who had insulted him. par-
ticularly as dads wild Indian ancestry
made it hard for him to refrain from
blood. ..
Well, dads face was a study, as he
braced up and held that $50 pounds of
white meat in his arms, with all the
people looking on, and he seemed
proud and heroic, and he stroked her
hair and told her not to- worry, and
finally she. hied herself away from dad
and the count took her away, and they
went up the bullyvard, and after ali
was quiet again dad said: 8 ennery,

pole, and you just perish in your
tracks.
Gee, but it is awful. When you get
seasick on an ordinary ocean, you
know where to locate the disease and
you know where to go for relief, and
when you have got relieved you know
that you are alive, but an English
! channel seasickness is as different
from any other as an alcohol jag is
different from champagne drunk.
This English channel seasickness be-
gins on your toes, and you feel as
though the toenails were being pulled
out with pincers, and the veins in
your legs seem to explode, your arms
wilt like lettuce in front of a cheap
grocery, your head seems to be struck
with pile-driver and telescoped down
into your spine, and your stomach
feels as though you had swallowed a
telephone pole with all of the cross
arms and wires and glass insulators,
and you wish lightning would strike
you. Gosh, but dad was hot when
he found that he was sick that way,
and when We got ashore he wanted to
kill the first man he met.
He thinks that it is a crime for
q man not to understand the English
language, and when he tells what he
wants, and the man he is talking to
shrugs his shoulders and laughs, and
brings him something else, he wants
to pull his gun and begin to shoot
up the town, and only for me he would
have killed people before this, but now
he takes it out in scowling at people
who do not understand him. Dad
seems to think that if he cannot make
q man understand what he says, all
he has to do is to swear at the man.
but, there is no universal language of
profanity, so the more dad swears the
more the nervous Frenchman smiles.

COMPANY
EXPANDS TODAY.
Original Office Building of the
Ketchum Wagon Plant Is
Being Occupied Today
OUTPUT DOUBLED THIS YEAR
MarshalItown Factory Now Largest in
the World for Manufacture Of Steel
Furnaces-Twenty States and Can
ada Covered by Local Product-Em
pIoyment for Seventy five People.

The Lennon Furnace Company has
felt the pressure of increasing BUSH
ness andw today began to expand it's
plant into additional quarters. The
house and lot Immediately in front of
the factory building has been leased
for long term and will be occupied
as the factory office for which it is
admirably suited as it was originally
built for and used as the office of the
old Ketchum wagon factory.
The Lennox Furnace factory is now
the largest steel furnace factory in the
world, and very few companies make
more furnaces of any kind. It's popu-
larity has more than doubled it's out
put in the last twelve months. This
season furnaces in car load lots are
being sent into Canada, where the long,
cold winters demand furnace of great
heating and wearing qualities; into
Minnesota, out to Salt Lake City and
Denver; down into Missouri, Kansas
and Texas; as far back east as Penn
sylvania, up into Wisconsin, and even
down into Tennessee, besides, in sim
gle lots, to hundreds of intervening
points. The company now employs
sixty people in the main factory and
office, besides furnishing work for fif-
teen moulders in the foundry of the
company that makes the castings.

A RECORD BREAKING; RUN.
Northwestern Fast Mail Makes 15C
Miles in 142 Minutes.

Miles in 142 Minutes.
One of the fastest runs ever made on
the Northwestern railroad is reported
from Council Bluffs, made last Sunday
by fast mail No. Is, leaving this city
at 9:15 a. m. The engine was in charge
of Engineer Thomas Savat;e, and the
run from Cedar Rapids to the Bluffs
was made in five hours and twelve
minutes. The schedule time is seven
hours. Engineer Savage IS 70 years
old, but age does not appear to inter
fere in his capacity to handle an, en-
CINE, and his hand is as steady, his eye
as clear, and his nerve as strong as
one would expect in a young man.
From Boone to Council Bluffs, two
hours and forty-two minutes was the
time consumed, making the run of $50
miles in JAP minutes, twenty minutes
Of the time being spent at stopping
points. The distance from Cedar Rap
ids is 2S3 miles. Deductang the time
spent at stopping points, the rate was
more than mile minute.
During the stretch between Boone
and Council Bluffs, seventy-two miles
Of iron rails were passed by the train
in exactly sixty-nine minutes, and two
short stops were made. Large pebbles
were found on the platform of the pas
senger coach at the rear Of the train
when 1t came into the sta ton at Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
The reason for the fast run was the
effort on the part of the company to
make up time which had been lost be-
tween Chicago and Cedar. Rapids The
train pulled into the station at Omaha
one minute ahead of time.

Bargains in Used steinway Pianos.

II you Know OF anyone VINO wishes
very good piano at a moderate cost,
he will be interested in the fact that
just at the present time the we'll
known music house of Lyon & Healy,
Chicago, have a large salesroom filed
entirely with used Stefnway Uprights.
These Steinways embrace wide vari-
ETY. of instruments. All Of them, of
course, are genuine Steinways, and all
of them are in fine condition, but
there is great difference in the cost.
Some of these Steinways have had
considerable use, and have been over
hauled at the factory, and are now
offered at very moderate prices in
deed, while others are practically new
and of course command within 500 of
the regular price.
Among these bargains of Steinways
are quite number of ebony finished
instruments, several in rosewood and
some in mahogany cases.
These Steinway pianos will be sold
eiether for cash or upon very easy
monthly payments. Freight on an up
right piano is only matter of a few
dollars. All of these instruments are
fully guaranteed to be exactly as rep
resented The opportunity to secure
one will undoubtedly be taken advan-
tage Of by the shrewd buyers in this
vicinity.

game for one inning, and made bril-

Umpire Flynn, after a little alteration
over decision at the home plate.
The Indians put up fast exhibition
from start to finish, playing perfect
fielding game. Marshalltown also did
some good field work, and only had one
error, wild throw by link. which was
responsible for one score.
When the big performance started
