The north side grocery store owned
by Frank Gardner &: Co., changed hands
twice the latter part of last week, be-
ing first traded to Lem Vanostrand
for a residence property on east 10th
street, and as soon as the stock was
lnvoiced Vanostrand sold it to C. M.
Keller, who has not yet decided what
he will do with it, but is safe to say
that he will not own it long, for he is

At a special meeting of the Leon

More than half the folks who think
that they are wearing out are just rust
ing out. Right with feeling of weak
ness comes spirit of resignation, says
the Norwich Conn., Bulletin. You
know what this is-a yielding to condi-
tons tumbling down. The chances
OF person in this world are fighting
chances. Most that is won is achieved
by activity and energy. The only time
to be resigned is when you have to be.
You do not have to be so long as there
is fighting chance. When you feel
like being resigned it is time to summon
resolution; that will serve you ten times
as we'll and keep your spirits from
giving out.

Recorder w. A. Poush was able to be
at his Office last Thursday the first time
for a week, having been confined to the
house suffering with his feet, which had
been poisoned in frightful manner, and
although they are very sore yet he is
able to get around. The poison is
thought to have been caused from the
dye in pair of new hose which he
wore.

Frank N. Hansell, the popular owner
of the big Hansell department store in
this city, left Tuesday for ST. Lo uis
where he will spend few days in pur-
chasing bargains for his store in this
city. Mr.. Hansell is member of a
syndicate which owns eight big depart
ment stores in different Iowa towns and
goods for all eight stores are purchased
at one time. By buying in such quanti-
ties, the goods being divided up among
the different stores, they are enabled to
get lower prices than any single merch-
ant, and it has always been the policy
of Mr.. Hansell to give his customers the
benefit of the low prices thus secured.
The Hanseli store has the reputation of
being able to undersell all competitors.
A new point under the biennial
election amendment has been raised.
Attention is called to the fact that
the amendment has done away with
the regular November session of the
board Of supervisors of all the counties
in the state. Section 412 Of the code
provides: 'sThe members Of the board
shall meet at the county seat of their
respective counties on the first Monday
in January. April, June, September and
the FIRST Monday after the general cleo
tion in esch year" AS there will be NO
senesal election this year, there can be
no fegs4ar session of the board Of
supervisors of the state. OF course the
Legislature can remedy this at the COM
lag sess4oa next winter, but nothing
can be done for this year, except to
make session at that time an adjourn
ed session of the September meeting.

have announced monster democratic
picnic to be held at Mt. Ayr on Thurs
day, August 18th, and a cordial invita-
ton has been extended to the demo-
Gratis of Decatur county to be with them

Superintendent G. B. Hall of the Iowa
Telephone Co. was in Leon last week
looking over the ground with view of
trying to secure a franchise from the
city council to allow them to run long
distance telephone into this city. They
have a line into Humeston and Osceola,
and want to extend the system from
these points to Leon, Mt. Ayr and on
west to connect with their line at Bed
ford. The Iowa Telephone Co., is the
old Bell line which has metallic cir
cult to nearly every county seat In
Iowa, and direct lines to Chicago, st.
Louis and New York. In a letter to
Mayor McGinnis the company says it
does not desire to enter into competi-
tion with our home company and would
not want to put in local exchange, but
simply have toll station for their line.
They are now unloading material at Mt.
Ayr to build west to Bedford, and il
they secure permission to enter Leon
expect to build the line this summer.

ST the Church. 1t would fare i'll with
an earthly prince who could give no
better answers to the affairs which con
cerned his realm Z
There are other considerations which
might be urged, most gracious sire. 1t
IS true that the Crusades were holy
enterprise which might well expect the
immediate blessing of God; but the
Crusaders Is it certain that they deserved
such blessing? Have | not heard that
their camp was the most dissolute ever
SEEM
Camps are camps all the world over,
and YOU cannot in a moment change a
bowman into saint. But the holy
Louis was crusader after Your own heart.
Yet his men persisted at Mansurah and he
himself at Tunis
Bethink YOU also that this world is
but the antechamber OF the next, said
the prelate. By suffering and tribu-
lation the soul is cleansed. and the true
victor may be he who by the patient
endurance of misfortune merits the happi-
ness TO come.
Ii that be the true meaning of the
Churc1s blessing, then | hope that it
viii be long before it rests upon our ban
ners IN France" said the King But
1nethinks that when one is out with a
brave horse and good hound one might
find some other subject than theology
Back TO the birds, Bishop, or Raoul the
falconer VIII come to interrupt thee in
thy cathedral
Straightway the conversation came
back to the mystery of the woods and
the mystery of the rivers, to the dark
eyed hawks and the yellow-eyed, to
hawks OF the lure and hawks of the fist.
The Bishop was as stepped IN the lore
Cf falconry as the King, and the Others
smiled as the two wrangled hard over
disputed and technical questions: if an
eEas trained in the news can ever emulate
the passage hawk taken wild, or how long
the Young hawks should be placed at
hack. and how long weathered before
they are fully reclaimed.
Monarch and prelate were still deep
IN this learned discussion, the Bishop
sreaking with a freedom and assurance
which he would never have dared to use
81 affairs Of Church and State, for IN all
ACES there IS no such leVeler as sport.
Suddenly, however. the Prince, whose
keen eyes had swept from time to time
over the great blue heaven, uttered a
peculiar call and reined up his palfrey,
pointing at the same time into the air.
4 heronl' he cried. A heron on
rassage,"
To gain the full sport OF hawking
heron must not BE put up from its feeding
ground, where it is heavy with its meal,
and has no time to get its pace on before
Il IS pounced upon by the more active
hawk, but it must be aloft, travelling from
point to point, probably from the fish
stream to the heronry. Thus to catch
the bird on passage was the prelude OF all
good sport The object to which the
Prince had pointed was but black dot
IN the southern sky, but his strained eyes
had not deceived him, and both Bishop
and King agreed that it was indeed a
heron which grew larger every instant
as it flew in their direction.
Whistle him off, sire! Whistle of
the gerfalconl" cried the Bishop.

but the latter, seeing the danger in his
front and confident in his own great
strength of wing and lightness of body,
proceeded to mount higher in the air,
flying in such small rings that to the spec
tators it almost seemed as if the bird
was going perpendicularly upward
He takes the airl cried the King
But strong as he flies, he cannot outhy

You have good store of altar-cloths,
Bishop if all the gold | have seen you

them, said the King All! by the
rood, rascal, rascal! See how she flies
at check
The quick eyes of the Bishop had per
ceived a drift of rocks when on their
evening flight to the rookery were passing
along the very line which divided the
hawk from the heron A rock IS a hard
temptation for a hawk to resist In an
instant the inconstant bird had forgotten
all about the great heron above her and
was circling over the rocks, flying west
ward with them as she singled out the
plumpest for her stoop.
There is vet time, sire! Shall | cast

"Or shall l show you, sire, how a
peregrine may win where a gerfalcon
fails. said the Bishop. Ten golden
pieces to one upon my bird.
Done with YOU, Bishop" cried the
King, his brow dark with vexation. By
the rood # YOU were as learned in the
fathers as YOU are in hawks YOU would

off Your peregrine and make your boasting

Smaller than the royal gerfalcon, the
Bishops bird was none the less a swift
and beautiful creature. From her perch
upon his wrist she had watched with
fierce. keen ewes the birds in the heaven,
mantling herself from time to time IN her
eagerness Now when the button was
undone and the leash uncast the peregrine
dashed off with Whir of her sharp
pointed wings. whizzing round in great
ascending circle which mounted swiftly
upward, growing ever smaller as she
approached that lofty point where, a
mere speck in the sky, the heron sought
escape from its enemies. Still higher and
higher the two birds mounted, while the
horsemen, their faces upturned, strained
their ewes in their efforts to follow them.
She ringsl She still rings!" cried the
Bishop She is above him! She has
gained her pitch.
Nay, nay, she is far below" said the
King.

voices as the two dots blended suddenly
into one.
There could be no doubt that they were
