A Literal Kentuckian.

Two northerners, travelling in the
mountains of Kentucky, had gone for
hours and hours without seeing sign
of life. At last they came to a cabin
in clearing. The hogs lay in their
dirt holes, the thin claybank mule
grazed round and round in circle to
save the trouble of walking, and one
lank man, whose clothes were the color
of the claybank mule, leaned against
tree and let time roll by.
How do you dos' said one of the
northerners.

CAR SHORTAGE IN IOWA.
Elevators All Over the State Are Re-

Des Moines, Dec 26-Elevators all
over the state of Iowa are being clos

already on hand.
The situation now is even more SER

ion of George A. Wells, secretary of the
Iowa Grain Dealers Association, who
also sees no chance for present relief.
Mr.. WellsDwas recently requested by
the interstate commerce commission to
appear as witness at the hearing In
Chicago, but declined because, he said,
he could add nothing to the story OF the
car shortage told in other states.
"The car situation in Iowa is more

time before said Secretary Wells yes

day from grain men telling of the clos

MARQUETTE GETS GIFT.
Presented With $4,000 by Mr.. and
Mrs. r. A. John ston and Son.

Milwaukee, Dec. 26.-Marquette Col
lege received Christmas present in
the shape of two certified checks
amounting to $4,000, which will pay
all the cost of the building that the
school is about to erect at Grand ave-
nue. and Eleventh street. The gift came
from Mr. and Mrs Robert A. Johnston
and their son. Rev. Robert Story john
ston. S. J.. of Florissant. Mo. Father
Johnston is graduate Of Marquette.
While the announcement comes as a
Christmas greeting to the institution,
the gift really was made a month ago
when the two checks were handed to
Father Burrowes, president of Mar
quette, by Father Johnston, while the
latter was on a visit to Milwaukee.
SO impressed were the trustees of the
college with the gift that they offered
to change the name of the college to
the Johnston College. but this was de-
clined by Mr.. and Mrs Johnston, who
said they desired the school to retain
the name of the explorer under which
it was launched.
