Mary had little lamb, it's fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one day, where lambs should never
go. And Mary sat her quickly down
and tears streamed from her eyes; she
never found the lamb because she did
not advertise. And Mary had a
brother John, who kept village
store he sat down and smoked pipe.
and watched the open door. And as
the people passed along and did not
stop to buy, John still sat and
smoked his pipe and blinked his
sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed
him out, but still he fingered near.
and Mary came to drop with him a
sympathetic tear. How is it, sister,
can you tell, why other merchants
here, sell all their goods so readily
and thrive from year to year. Re.
membering her own bad luck the
little maiden replies: "These other
fellows get there, John, because they
advertise. .

The LAWYER Way.

The city administration made it
interesting for one of the freight
conductors in way that will meet the
approval of everybody. These fellows
have a way of blocking the crossings
aud paying no attention to the APP
peals of those who want to cross.
The chap in question blocked the
crossing for fully 80 minutes and was
assessed fine of Sl2. So. which had the
desired effect, and crossings are now
promptly opened.

Discovers Method Of Preserving Ice.

The day of large profits for the ice
man is over In fact. the DAYS of the
iceman himself are counted if the dis.
covery of J. M. barrow of Fort
Dodge proves to do all that he claims
for it, Di-nitrocellulose is the name
of the compound that reads the end
of the ice trouble of every house
holder. So confident are the pro-
motors of the compound of its success
that arrangements have been made to
erect fifty ton ice machine in Mil
waukee in the near future. while ice
bricks coated with the preparation
which will keep an indefinite time
will be distributed as souvenirs at the
Michigan state fair.
The compound which is expected
to do all of these wonders is made
from the waste products of the elbow
off, from a paper mill and can be
manufactured at cost of about 81
cents for thousand gallons.
Darrow claims that his discovery
has the quality OF preserving ice in
definitely in any ordinary tempera-
ture. Pieces of ice of any size or
shape are dehydrated or rendered free
from moisture passing through
chamber containing lime. They are
then dipped into the solution of d.
the scientific name of
the invention. taking on coating
which will prevent melting until the
consumer removes the envelope. The
compound, it is said, is not effected
by heat. cold or electricity.
Like many other wonderful dis
coveries, it was made by accident.
While experimenting last winter with
cellulose compounds with view of
perfecting smokeless powder. the
results were brought
about that ice could be preserved.
Different nitrate solutions were
thrown on an accumulation of ice at
the receivers edge last winter and the
ice is there yet. Hence the discovery
which has led to further experiments
and Investigations that have proven
the discovery practical one.
One of the experiments was made by
. brother chemist who corded up a
lot of ice in his back yard and on his
pantry shelves that had been treated, |
It is still in the best state of preserva-
lion today. An enterprising grocer
has sold two-pound bricks for cents

Doctors Indicted at Waverly.

A short time ago the physicians of
Bremen county. with one or two ex-
ceptions organized a county associa-
tion and established a schedule of
prices largely in excess of that for
merly charged, agreeing to charge
the schedule of fees in all cases.
They even went to the extent of re-.
fusing to answer calls from poor per-
sons unable to pay the fees asked. 1t
has resulted in an uprising against
them by the people of the county. led
by @. w. Miller, editor of the Waver-
ly Democrat and chairman of the
democratic state central committee.
Feeling became so intense that the
matter was presented to the grand
jury, with the result that on Friday
fourteen physicians were indicted on
the charge of a combination in re-
straint of trade, in violation of the
state antitrust law. The case will be
of state and national interest, for in
nearly every county there are similar
associations. Few, however, have
gone to the extent of refusing calls
from persons too poor to pay the fees
demanded, this latter feature being the
one which has caused the bitter feel
ing against the doctors in Bremen
county,

Babe Born in Wreck.

Within a very few minutes after the
fated Rock Island passenger crashed
into the freight train at Cedar Falls,
sending fourteen men to eternity, a
pretty bright eyed little daughter was
born to an unknown woman who was
occupying the sleeper enrou'e to her
home in Minneapolis. The baby
mingled its first tiny wall with the
Groans and means of the anguished
sufferers. Passengers in the sleeper
turned aside from the work of rescue,
one of the Cedar Falls surgeons who
had hastened to the scene of the wreck
was called and the little babe was
ushered into life AS soon as she was
able to be moved, the mother was
taken to nearby farm house where
she and the babe are making excellent
progress.

WHY JOHNSON CRIED.
There's an End to all Good Things" and
That Was the Reason He Wept.

When Nat Johnson got back from
the Maine woods last summer, he
told his friends that for the first time
since he was a child. he sat down
and cried.
AS he put it, "There was way off
in the wilderness, and had smoked
my last Wadsworth Bros. "Chico, I"
and knew / couldn't get another
until l reached civilization.
1t is strange what hold the Wads-
worth Bros. "Chicos" get on man.
They are absolutely free from all arti-
fetal flavoring. just the natural flavor
of the pure Havana leaf. like that of
25c. Carolina perfecto. They burn
evenly, with solid white ash that
stays on as all good cigar ashes
should.
Wangler Bros. have the local
agency for the ''Chicos.'' and cal
now sell genuine long filler Havana

of the 10c. smokes on the market.

While at Minneapolis last week Mr..
w. +. Meyer saw a number of the
officers of the Dan Patch Air Line,
also the Chief Engineer Mr.. Hunt.
He took an automobile ride out to the
Minnesota river with Mr.. Benham,
superintendent of the right of way.
He found much of the grading done
from Minneapolis to a point near
Savage where the construction crew
was then working. Savage is a small
town ON the Minnesota river. The
party took dinner with the engineers

tract for much of the grading has al

Be a Man.

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of hard
work Work for the best salaries and
wages you can get, but work for half
price rather than be idle. Be your
own master, and do not let society or
fashion swallow up your individu-
ality-hat, coat and boots. Do not
eat up or wear out all that you earn.
Compel your selfish body to be stingy
for profits sake Be stingy to YOUR
own appetite. but merciful to others
necessities. Help Others. and ask no
help for yourself. See that you are
proud. Let your pride be of the right
kind. Be too proud to wear coat
you cannot buy; too proud to be in
company that you cannot keep up
with in expenses; to proud to lie,
steal. or cheat; too proud to be
stingy in short. be man of integrity
and individuality.
