A Mistake Rectified.

Robert Cobb gave his tenant Frank E.
Spaulding a lease of the meat market
Friday and the relations between the
two parties which were somewhat
strained the past week are now as har-
monious as ever Mr.. Cobb admits that
he was hasty in serving his notice on Mr..
Spaulding to vacate the premises and
has acted handsomely and manfully in
signing a lease. Those who have known
Mr. Cobb in the 40 years he has been a
resident of St. Johnsbury do not need to
be told that he has always conducted his
business in straightforward and hon
orable manner and his friends are con-
graduating him upon the promptness he
exhibited in rectifying his mistake.

"Capt E. F. Griswold, who served in

gress entities him to receive In his
letter Capt. Griswold says, in part :
Il was a soldier OF the Eleventh Yer

Jealous Of lrraqinary Ills.

Talk Of woman's jealousy OF her
husband said physician of long ex-
perience in New York. 1T Is moth
:ng compared TO her jealousy OF an
others chronic ailments. Half the
doctors would starve If it were not
for the prevalence of illnesses that
are purely imaginary. OF course, II
does not do for us to tell a woman
who has firmly made up her mind that
she Is Ill that she is not Ill. In nine
cases out Of ten she would lose her
temper and consult another doctor
Among certain women invalidisr

gratifying to their self-love. They may
literally be said to enjoy poor health
They look for the doctors visit to
them. or they call at his Office, as the
most exciting event OF the day. II
they know him well enough. they
implore him to waive professional eti-
quette and tell them about ailments
OF other women who consult him.

are legion-havinC a craving for mar

PENALTY FOR AUTO SPEEDING
Mark Twain Comes to the Front with
Uniuue SUGGESTION

Mark Twain has a Enthusiastically
original suggestion as to speed mani
acs In automobiles. He says the law
dresses convicts in such way that
they can not be mistaken for anything
else but zebras at reasonable dis
tance. Then why not. says Mark ex.
tend the idea to the convict's broth
er criminal, the overspeeder," who
every day runs over somebody and
escapes7 AT present he points out the
automobile numbers are so small that
ordinary eyes can not read them upon
swiftly receding machine at dis.
tance OF l00 feet He suggests enlare-
ing the figures, making them readable
At 100 yards. For offenses of over
speeding he would have the figures
enlarged, as a penalty in place OF
fne-to be re-enlarged for each sub
6equen: offense. With auto numbers
readable rs far as one could tell
convict from a barber pole none of
these criminals could run over a per-
son and escape"

COURAGE A RARE QUALIFY.
Successful Men Of Affairs Tell Of
Their Experiences.

Several men OF affairs were discuss
ing, not long ago. what quality was
rarest. One spoke for brains-but all
the others disputed him, and he pres
emily admitted that there were plenty
Of fellows with brains enough and to
spare. Another spoke for energy
and all agreed that the capacity to
keep hard At it in season and out OF
season was difficult to find. Then .
third suggested judgment-the ability
to know what to do and what not to
do, when to do, when to refrain from
doing. II was admitted after some
argument, that this was rarer. Il
have not met half dozen men in my
railroad, who combined judgment
with enthusiasm. I'm inclined to think
that enthusiasm. intelligent enthu'
siasm. Is the rarest quality"
Last Of all a financier. whose name
Is known all over this country, spoke
up. II should say that character Is
the rarest quality" said he. Not
honesty, for everybody is honest &C
cording to, his lights. But the disposi-
ton and the courage to do right re-
gardless Of consequences and without
trying to induce conscience to say that
wrong is right or almost right"
After a silence the railway man
said, The world wouldn't move very
fast II that quality were less rare
than 1t is"

the fnancier. "and that's the whole

opportunities for dissipation which
are to be deplored. There may be
two breweries in Iowa City, but they
are not as much In evidence as are
the churches and the university build
ings. There are probably saloons, but
they were also in the back ground. A
very handsome fountain is being put
In on Iowa avenue just where the
street has lately been improved by
bitulithic pavement The paving of
that street is thing of beauty. There
is a parking along the center, cut In
to sections and curbed, and the long
sweep OF the very wide avenue with
its ribbon Of green, and black paved
sides, Is remarkably pleasing. Evi-
IDENTIFY the artistic sense Is attending
to the improvement OF the university
town.
Iowa City is a university town and
its citizens ought to be proud Of the
title, whether they are or not. We saw
but one sign OF the commercial spirit
which really does exist there. There
are three daily papers and in each
the advertising is far larger than that
accorded the one daily here. The spir-
it of hustle still exists there.
A delayed train at Riverside gave
the Outsider a chance to hear a good
story. This Riverside & Montezuma
Branch of the Rock Island Is often
late. In fact, the road there has such
a behind-time reputation that they
tell the following story with great
glee: Out west travelling variety
Snowman announced to his wonder
ing audience that he was about to
show them realistic collision, one
which should curdle their blood, ETC.,
etc. A Northwestern train and
Rock Island train would meet head
on and great would be the destruc-
ton "In Just ten minutes. ladies' and
gentlemen, we win produce this aw-
full scene" Ten minutes passed, then
ten more, and at last the Snowman
appeared and in great excitement and
annoyance, announced. 1T is impossi-
BILE to have the collision tonight, la
dies and gentlemen, for the Rock Isl
and is late again"
Besides this good story, the Outsid-
err met at Riverside relic Of Iowa
City worth noting. 1t was an old Ger
man woman Large, comfortably
dressed, she sat quietly till address
ed. When induced to talk she said
she had lived in Iowa City since 1859,
at which time she travelled there on
foot from Muscatine.
She had seen the town grow up, and
her talk was interesting. She remem-
bered when the first railroad train
came to the city. Told how the citl-
zens served an elegant dinner to the
railroad men at the old capitol She
even told of monster cake baked for
the occasion, one weighing ten
pounds.
Years had made her comfortably
well on, years, hard work and econ
omy. She carried with her the accent
and flavor of Germany but she Is one
of the citizens our country may be
proud to claim.
