Alcohol VS.. Gasoline.

"The comparative Values of Alec
hol and Gasoline for Highland Pow
er," is the name of Bulletin No. 90,
which is just being issued by the
Agricultural Engineering section of
the Experiment Station at Ames.
In the spring of 1906 the Nation
al Congress passed an act which be-
came law January l, 1907, per-
hitting the withdrawal from bond
tax free. domestic alcohol when it
was depaturated or rendered unfit
for human consumption by the ad-
dition of certain materialsrepugnant
to the taste and smell. The pas
page of this law has aroused much
speculation into the possibilities of
this new fuel. The Experiment
Station compared gasoline and al
cohol with four objects in view, viz:
Ql the heat value Of the fuels; (2)
their economy in the production Of
light; (5) their economy in the
production of power; aud az the
relative safety of gasoline and al
cohol for general use. The coDclu-
sions reached in these experiments
will prove very interesting to every
reader.

He Wrote Just Once.

A young man, says an exchange,
who does not believe in patronizing
home merchants sent to mail order
house for a suit of clothes. In the
pocket of the pants he found the
following rote: Should this fall into
the hands of a good looking young
man who desires to correspond with
q lady of sweet disposition, kindly
address, etc. The aforesaid mail
order man promptly sent letter to
the address and few days ago re-
ceived the following reply: Sir
My wife has received a letter from
you addressed in her maiden name.
Twenty years ago when she worked
in a factory she might have written
the note. She is now the mother of
seventeen children and my lawful
wife. If you do not cut out writing
to her I will take a trip to your town
and make you look like two cents
worth of dog meat Here ended

cinity, a few settling in Scotch
Grove and others in Delaware coun-
ty. James and Hugh Livingston
came to this county in 1887 for final
settlement, though the latter had
made his first visit here in 1885,
coming ahead of his brother James.
They suffered all the hardships of
pioneer life, the history of which is
both interesting and tragic. Both
of the elder Livingstons met death
in billiards. on the prairies while
bringing home supplies from the
distant markets. James died in the
winter of 1916, being caught in a
severe storm while coming home
from the Cascade mill. Hugh met
similar tragic end on Christmas
day, 1S47, while coming home from
Dubuque. Alex Livingston took
the old family homestead and re-
NAMED on it until few months ago,
when his infirmities led him to make
his home with daughter at Month
cello.
Mr.. Livingston is survived by his,
aged wife, now n years of age The
children are John and Alex, whoare
engaged in mining at Wallace,
Idaho; James of South Fork town
ship, this county; Archie and Mrs
Putnam of Jones county; Rhoderick
and Euphemia who have lived with

Called Ho me.

The dark winged angel Of death
has again entered this community
and taken from our midst, "a beloved
neighbor, Michael Duffy, who ans
wered the final summons Sunday
morning, Oct. 18th, 1907, at his
home eight miles southwest of Ryan.
Although his death for the past two
weeks had been hourly expected it
came with a shock to his many
friends. He bore his illness with
great patience, was never known to
complain or murmur, and always
had kind word and smile for his
many inquiring friends and neigh
bors. His death was as peaceful as
his life had been and he passed
away as if going to sleep.
The deceased was born in Ireland
March 18th, 1881, and came to this
country at the age Of l6. He came
to Chicago where he worked on the
canal going thence to California
where on June 18th, 1863, he en-
listed in Co. A, LIST battalion, Neva-
da Cavalry, and served for three
years. At the close of the war he
removed to Iowa, locating in Della
ware county, where he has since
made his home. On July 18th,
1870, he was united in marriage to
elizabeth Grant. To this union
we're born twelve children, three
sons and nine daughters, five of
whom preceded him to the grave.
At his bedside when the final sum-
mons came were his devoted wife
and the remaining children, Mich
ael, of Lind, Washington; William,
of Cedar Rapids; Mrs. T. J. Dardis,
of Independence; James, Mary,
Teresa and Nellie. and one brother.
Bernard, all of this place. He is
also survived by four grandchildren.
The funeral was held from the
Belmont Catholic church Tuesday
morning where mass was celebrated
for the happy repose OF the soul OF
the deceased by Rev. Leahy, who
also gave words Of consolation to
the bereaved family during the flu
neral sermon The pail bearers
were J. Shelly, NJ. Shelly. H. Smith,
]. Dolantry, T. F. Donnelly and F.
Woods. The remains were followed
to their last resting place by large
number Of relatives and friends.
The family has the sympathy of all
in their sad affection. May his soul
rest in peace.
Nth patience he suffered. his trouble was sore,
But now 1t is ended, he suffers no more.
He sleeps. we will leave him In quiet to rest.
The parting was painful, but GOD knoweth
best.

The Secret.

From his farm Judge Blank was in
the habit of supplying the preachers
OF all the churches with -four, corn,
hay and vegetables free of cost. He
also kept the country supplied with
venison from the herd of deer which
he kept for many years. He built a
big smokehouse In the rear of his
grounds. One night unseen himself,
he saw man emerge from the smoke
house with side of pork on his shout
der. He recognized the intruder, but
said nothing. A week afterward the
fellow approached him, saying, Judge,
l understand you had some meat stol-
en- from your smokehouseY The old
judge raised his hand deprecatingly
and said: "Sh! No one on earth
knows anything about that but you
and me."-Argonaut.

Alex Livingston Dead.

Alex Livingston died last Sunday
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Sarah Putnam at Monticello. He
was SO years Of age. Mr.. Livings-
toms health has been growing pre-
carious during the past few months,
gradually declining until death took
him off. For seventy years Mr..
Livingston was a resident of Della
ware county, occupying the old farm
three and a half miles southeast of
Hopkinton which his father settled
upon in 1887. The history Of the
Livingstons has been told in these
columns before. They were among
the hardy Scotch pioneers who came
to Iowa from the Selkirk Settlement
near Winnipeg, in the very early
days, making the long and tedious
Journey by foot and oxcart through
the forest and trackless wastes in
tervening between Dubuque and
the Canadian settlement. They were
weeks upon the road, undergoing
great hardships. The Selkirk Set
Element, projected by Lord Selkirk
as utopia for his followers, proved
a gr vious disappointment and the
settlers who had come from the
home country gradually drifted
away to more inviting fields. They
were originally attracted by rumors
of the great wealth being dug out Of
the lead mines at Dubuque, and that
was why they came south without
first verifying the reports. Arriv-
ing at Dubuque they were again
met with disappointment, the mines
being but little worked and no mar

The settlers, weary and footsore and
aud in need of an established home,

The records in the war department
in Washington are as rule very dry,
but occasionally an entry is found that
is humorous.
An officer of engineers in charge Of
the construction of road that was
to be built through swamp, being
energetic himself and used to sur
mounting obstacles, was surprised
when one of his young lieutenants
whom he had ordered to take twenty
men and enter the swamp said that he
could not do 1.-THE mud was too deep,
The colonel ordered him to try. He
did so and returned with his men COW
cred with mud.
Colonel, the mud is over my mems
heads. l can't do it."
The colonel insisted and told him to
make Il requisitlon for anything that
was necessary for n safe passage.
The lieutenant made his requisition in
writing and on the spot. 1t was as
follows:
II want twenty men eighteen feet
long to cross q swamp fifteen feet
deep."-Harper's Weekly.

Hats That Improve Win Aa,.


Hats That Improve With Age.
"a silk hat. like wine, improves with
age" said a clubman. 1.-THE. oftener
you have it ironed the aleeker and
more brilliant 1t becomes. It costs q
good deal at the outset, but in the end
1t Is the cheapest hat to wear. 1t lasts,
you see, SO long, and to iron It costs
SO little. Some folks think the topper
very perishable. II it gets soaked with
rain, IL some one sits on 1t and crush.
es 1t into an accordion, they think 1t
must be thrown away the same as II
1t were a derby. But not at all. A
silk hat can be taken apart and put
together again like watch. and II 1t
gets crushed nothing Is easier than to
melt of the silk, straighten, out the
frame and then put on the silk again.
In England, the home Of this hat, I
have known men to wear the same
topper for ten or twelve years. land
the oftener the old hat is ironed the
brighter and finer 1t shines. Its .luster
increases with time and friction like
the luster Of good antique furniture"
