SPRING POETRY.

Britt Tribune.-This is not the first
cold spring that Iowa has had. The
following is taken from our files show.
ing what the spring of 1885 was:
lowed" to the Spring Of 1885.
The first bird of spring
Attempted to sing
And just as he got down to ttbiz''
little young blizzard
Got hold of his gizzard
And the bird was assuredly 'friz."
A young Whippoor-will
Then Opened his bill"
Suggesting that William be thrashed
AS he peeped the first note
1t froze in his throat
Which made him feel somewhat
abashed.
Then an imbecile frog
Crawled up on bog
And managed to croak once OF
But his larnyx CONCEALED
And over he keeled
His hind leg was froze to the ice.
An owl Tried to moot
And feebly did "hoot''
But his liver becoming CONCEALED
AS stiff as a post
He gave up the ghost
And over serenely he keeled.
When Thomas cat now
Let out her "per-meaouw"
Jack frost over Jordan did land it
And | have been told
That spring was so cold
That no beast but a sun dog could
stand it.

TURNING BACKWARD.

Chicago Evening Post. Cropping. into
the dim past the spring of 1907 has
brought the roller skate back upon
earth, just as everyone was feeling
sure that the automobile had perma
nently monopolized the field of wheel
ed speed
And now the commercial world is
startled by an even more unexpected
thing. 1t is said on the best of author
ity that the bicycle is in for boom
Cleveland reports that its cycle fac
tories are turning out from 80 to 50
per cent more machines than last year
and other manufacturing centers con
tribute similar figures. In England the
revival of the bicycle mania is even
more pronounced.
AT this rate the country will soon
be trundling round in prairie schoon
ers or sending its mail by pony ex
press.

any youthful couples guilty of such
semi-public love making.
Then the chief Of police made an an
swer to his ministerial critics which
won him the everlasting gratitude of
the spooners and spoonees, and which.
by the way, should go down in history
as classic rivaling Lincoln's Gettys-
burg address or Patrick Eenry's
Give me Liberty" etc., etc. Are the
dearest rights of the American people
to be abridged In this summary man
ner?' he demanded "Is there not a
clause in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence which says that all men are
created free and equal. endowed with
certain inalienable rights, among
which are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness?'
And then clinching and riveting his
argument as he sent it home, he con-
tinued:
Hugging is certainly the"pursuit of
happiness" People do not hug for
wages except on the stage. Nobody is
urged to hug. 1t is a sort of spontan-
eous combustion, as it we're, Of the
feelings, and has to have proper con-
ditions of the atmosphere to make it
a success. People who object to hug
ging are like the lemon that has done
its duty in the circus lemonade. If they
had a job Of hugging they would want
to hire a man to do it for them.
Truly, hugging is soul inspiring.
There is just about SO much of it to
be done, and the preachers should re-
member that many people have not
the facilities at home for such soul
stirring work, and they are obliged to
flee to the parks. where benificent
city government has provided all mod
ern improvements.
And the worthy ministers have not
recovered sufficiently from the chiefs
reference to the Declaration of indie
pendence to reply. Meanwhile the
residents of the good city of Cleveland
are inclined to be on the side of the
"spooners," realizing that with the
parks closed against them, and sum-
mer coming on and the parlors soon
becoming too torrid for occupancy, and
with light on every Cleveland corner
and almost every front porch, there
will be little opportunity for Cleve-
lands young to evolute successfully
through the preliminary stages of the
rose strewn pathway that leads to the
gang plank of the bark that sails the
matrimonial seas.

SHOULD LOVERS "sPooN" in THE
PARKS?

The estimable city Of Cleveland,
Ohio, is taking no interest in the
pitched Eattle now waging in. that
state between Taft and Foraker.
Neither is you average C1evelander
sitting up nights nowadays figuring
baseball dope or wondering just what
would have happened If Hank O'Day
and Bob Emslie had not escaped from
that crowd Of baiters that started out
blithely to kill two inoffensive umpiras
when the cubs won the first of the
New York series from the Giants.
For, be it known, Cleveland has a
problem of it's own, and that problem
las reached the point where it has
precipitated a pitched battle between
the ministry of the city on the one
hand and the chief of police on the
other. And boiled down that question
is--shall "spooning" be permitted in
Cleveland's public parks? ~
A simple question you will say. but
vou are not in Cleveland and wot not
of the weight of dense and bushy
thought that is being devoted to the
matter. Shall lovers spoon in the
parks? Sure, says the chief of police
when he was first appealed to by citi-
aens whose phlegmatic nerves were
set on edge by the sounds of billing
and cooling, squeezing and smacks
that emanated from the seats inviting
~ disposed amongst the shrubbery.
Shall lovers spoon in the parks?
Never! answered the Ministerial as
ISOLATION, and campaign was then
begun to bring sufficient pressure to
bear on the chief of police to arrest

FEATHER is pEAp.u

DR.. ID. w. Norris. Jr., editor of the
Marshalltown Times Republican pays
to the life and character of his father,
David w. Norris, recently deceased,
the following tribute under the cap
ton, "My Own Father is Dead:
There is only once or twice in his
career than an editor writes an obitu-
airy with real sense Of what it means.
When a parent, a wife or a child is
taken away from him he is made t.
feel the pain, the sorrow, the intense
desire to explain and the impulse to
make amends, if possible, for past neg
lect, all Of which are centered by
somebody in every obituary printed or
spoken. But now it has come to me.
My own father is dead. He was such
a good father to me that want all the
world to know how good, yet it can
not be explained in print, and realize
that lack the judicial poise of mind
to present him as man among other
men.
To the world Father was a rugged
character. No outward polish but
scratch him with close acquaintance
and he was found to be true and sound
and kind, always kind. The countless
poor people and widows and women
who have been coming to the house
with real sorrow on their faces tell of
one who had been an adviser, a pro-
tector and friend to them | have
known of no event in mis- career as a
lawyer which ever gave him frac-
tional part of the pleasure which he
derived from driving to justice or
thwarttng in purpose some human
shark who was preying upon defense
less people. Always without fee for
financial advice or legal protection,
these cases were seized by him with
real pleasure. He was just plain
David" to everybody, including the
children, and they thus addressed him
without intending disrespect, because
their fathers called him Dave and
they knew him and he was their
friend.
Father has practiced law in Grinnell
for twenty-nine years. During that time
he has been a leader in his profession,
but the jury trials which he has lost
in all those years could be counted on
the fingers of one hand He tried out
every case in equity at the bar of his
own conscience before he accepted it.
If he believed the client to have a
weak case he always advised him to
settle. If he was being asked to give
aid in doing a wrong or unjust thing,
his client was told to get some other
lawyer. Wnen he was a part owner
of this newspaper, and entitled to a
mileage book bought with advertising
have known him to, return the book
and pay his fare because he had ac-
cepted clients case against the rail-
road and wanted to be exactly fair
about it," It has always been pro-
nounced principle of ethics with him
that lawyer has no right to defend a
wrong If ne believed in mis- own mind

REUNION OF VETS
TO Be AT DUBUQUE
IOWA GRAND ARMY OF THE RE.
PUBLIC GATHER AT DUBUQUE
ON JUNE II TO is.
TO BE A BIG MEETING
Many other Organizations Hold Re-
unions at the Same Tme-Promin-
ent Speakers to be Present and Ad-
dress Old Soldiers.

Dubuqe, May27.-The annual ro-
anton of the Iowa G. A. R., will be held
In Dubuque commencing Tuesday, June
IL, and continuing until Saturday,
June Is. The committee at Dubuque
has sent circulars to the cities
throughout the state which say that
arrangements have been completed
menthere which insure this being the
greatest and most successful encamp-
ment ever held in the state. AS has
been customary in recent years, the
annual meetings of the Women's Re-
lief Corps, Spanish-American War
Veterans, Veterans of the Philippine
wars, the Iowa Hornets Nest Brigade,
x-Prisoners of War associations. will
be hedr at the same time.
The citizens of Dubuque began some
months ago to make preparations for
the occasion and now have every
thing in readiness. to show the old
soldiers and their friends one Of the
best times of their whole lives.
Prominent Men to be Present.
! Many Of the prominent mon and wo.
men Of the country will be present and
take part in the various programs that
will be rendered. There will be scores
Of band and drum corps In attendance,
but probably the most interesting
musical organization will be the drum
corps composed of the veterans Of the
Civil war, men who played either the
fife Of the drum through that great
struggle for the preservation Of the
Union. There will probably be a
hundred of these old musicians pre-
sent. many of them using the same fife
or the same drum they carried with
them during the days of 81 and IS.
Reunions will also be held at this
time by many regimental organiza-
lions, so 1t Is safe to say no old will
fail to meet old comrades and old
