STORY OF IOWA WHISPER
Picked Up Mare and Colt and Re turned Them to Earth With
 out Injury.

Talking about cyclones, the most peculiar circumstances l ever heard of took place over near Mingo 24 years ago. said H. w Robinson. according to the Des Moines Register and Leader.
 "One of those terrible tWisters came tearing down from the southwest toward Mingo along late one summer afternoon, but apparently not in line with the town. Many of the citizens about Mingo saw il and most of them took 10 shelter.
 over in the field in the direct path of the whirling mass were mare and colt feeding Suddenly the whirlwind was upon them. Well, sir that animal and her colt were lifted up just like an ordinary wind would lift a piece of pa per and carried straight up to consid- erable height and let down again as gentle like as though they were being lowered in an elevator. They alighted almost in the place where they were be fore the storm struck. Apparently con fused al first. the animals finally pulled themselves together, and as the storm passed on began eating grass as though nothing had happened

regretted that Pearl had confided to her a secret that was not to be inn parted to third person. Fortunately their waltz was on. and Tom forgot his inquiry
 Throughout the evening Rose watched with interest the division of the greater share of Pearls dances between the tall, broad ad-shouldered man in whose eyes was a world of silent adoration, and the gay. hand some youth who danced with such reckless abandon.
 ''lt could hardly be expected. l sup pose, cogitated Rose. that girl so young and inexperienced as Pearl would make the sensible choice and take Stephen. Still Pearl is wise be- yond her years. l wonder If she will tell them what she told me It should make no difference to man in love. but l imagine Lionel will shy at the disclosure but stephen, so capable of the grand passion. ought not 10 mind anything"
 A few days after the ball Pearl came to pay visit to Rose. who proposed on a rainy afternoon that they tele- phone Tom to come and divert them.
 Whom shall I ask him to bring with him. stephen or Lionel9. she asked. turning to Pearl
 Both, replied the sagscious maiden with an enchanting smf.e.

 Yes. she replied. You have been away two years. haven't you2 and my guardian. Mrs. Weston. only moved here year ago"

Big Profit III Popcorn.

Popcorn by the ton or bag is the offer of a Chicago merchant passer- by who did not want ton, but thought he might like bag, states the Tribune Of that city. stepped in to price the article. He concluded that he did not want even bag when he found that meant l50 pounds of shelled corn. He could have had ton for S35, or three pounds for 25 cents. which is at the rate of more than sl66 a ton. The GUS toner then suddenly realized the hand some profit Of his grocer in selling pop corn al ten cents a pound. Popcorn, like the rabbit. mutiplies with great facility. II comes in the ear or ready shelled. and the wholesalers buy it for a good deal less than their selling price of s35 a ton. Most of 1t goes to the making of eonfections. though some tons are sold for domestic popping. It is popped wholesale by machinery and it almost quadruples its bulk in the popping. There seems to be constant demand for popcorn confectionery in its various forms, but the harvest of the popcorn man is from late May to mid September. when folks who are not too rich swarm to popular resorts with their children. Popcorn Is as much a necessity of such places as the merry go-round or the toboggan sllde. Every child that goes to such a place con sumes at least one popcorn ball or stick and the number of such visitors all and perhaps billions for the season.

Training for Citizenship.

The proposition to establish in Brook. iyn a school for boys. in which. for the
 sake of development of Individuality.
 there will be no rules of conduct. has found many champions. says the Chiea-
 go Journal. Spacious arguments hay.
 sprung up from all sections of the eoun- try against the disciplining of boys and
 the molding of them all after one model
 Genius, 1t is claimed. is strangied. and talents are all turned into the beaten ruts- Millions. it is argued are turned into the broad and crowded channels Of
 commonplace. and only the few are
 able to survive the belittling influences
 and do things worth while. IL is very
 alluring theory and all who believe in
 it must indorse the policy of the pro-
 posed Brooklyn school in which every
 boy will be left at liberty to do absolute
 ly as he pleases. But there is an antag-
 onistic theory extant. and its most
 prominent advocate at the present mo-
 ment is Postmaster General Cortelyou. who in a speech at little school at
 Nazareth. Pa the other day. said If my boy should leave school with his head full of history. grammar and the classics and modern languages. and all the other studies of the curriculum. and yet should not have it in his heart to yield willing obedience to law-the jaw of the school. the law of the com munity in which he lives. the law of the state and of the nation-I should feel that his time had been thrown away We need in all our schools insistence upon obedience to proper authority, for these boys of to-day are the citizens of tomorrow. and everywhere through cut the length and breadth of the land we must have more prompt and willing obedience to law" Here is a different theory. indeed, II is not original or new but il cannot be impressed too often. l These words are of business wisdom and 1 of statesmanship. If Cortelyou had 1 wanted illustrations of the evils that l come from disregard of law he could l have found them in any community l where an apathetic and indifferent pub lie permits a systematic and constant | ignoring of law. Disobedience to law | and disrespect for it is particularly de moralizing in this country. for the peo- Die make their own laws. and when they l kick them aside uneeremoniously they belittle their own institutions and methods Nowhere else in the world is regard for law so important as in re- public for the very nation itself rests upon that basis alone.

Profits of thn Packers.

There has been a great deal of dis appointment because the Garfield re- port shows that the profits of the packing industry only amount to about two per cent of the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, however, that the report is cor rect
 The census reports compiled by the government in 1900. before the agita- ton regarding the ''beef trust" began. throw considerable light on this ques- tion. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America The gross margin of profit of S71 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent on the volume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Hi nois was only about one-third as large. or little more than two per cent. on the volume of business.
 The millers have not been accused of being in a trust" and combina- tions would seem impossible in busi- ness where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively for the four trade. but it ap- pears that the gross profits of the mill CTS are larger than the gross profits of the packers. IL may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing indus try will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: All sQueal and no wool"
