Back To The Old Home

AMES, IOWA, JUNE -. Reverend
William A. Sunday appeared as a
prophet in his own land when he came
To Ames TO deliver his lecture, 1.-THE
Forces That Win" Mr.. Sunday was
born on farm near Ames, and was
raised here and at Nevada. His rec
objections OF his early youth as given
in remarks on the platform the night
he lectured are very vivid, and at one
time he called to mind the names OF all
the children who used to attend school
with him and pointed out the places
they occupied in the school room. He
came TO Ames to deliver his lecture
under the Auspices of the Ladies Aid
Society of the M. T.. church, the pro-
ceeds TO go for the building fund OF
the new $30,000.00 church being built
this season. He donated his services,
the church paying only his expenses
here from Chicago.
"No other town inthe Unitee States,
with the possible exception OF Nevada,
could have secured me for an address
this evening in thecondition | am in, y
said the speaker as he began his dis
course IN a voice so hoarse as to indi-
acte his strenerous work at Knoxville
and its effect upon him. He was intro
duced by Mayor Farley Sheldon, who
was an old employer of the noted evan
gelist, and whoha a warm spot IN his
heart for him. Mr. Sunday signified
his intention of sometime becoming a
resident of Ames again "Nothing
would please me better, he declared,
ethan to return to Ames and spend
my declining years on the old farm
where was born. In fact | intend To
be the owner of that farm in the years
to come. Mr.. Greeley has made the
arrangements whereby | am To be the
owner.' he said, turning to Captain
Greeley, former member OF the legis-
lature from Story county, and a very
wealthy banker in Ames. Mr.. Greeley
now owns the farm on which Mr.. Sun
day was born and raised. The Ladies'
Aid Society cleared $40 90 for their
church fund.

THE LAND OF PLENTY.
Buffalo and Jerauld Counties Up in

Buffalo and Jerauld Counties Up in
Southeastern South Dakota
Why do talk so much about those
two conntiesY
Because I've lived in different parts
, Of South Dakota Tor the past twenty
-four years, and honestly believe there
is no better place in the state for
home or an investment than in those
two counties Not because ! am sell
ing land in this particular part Of the
state, but because ! have Travelled all
over tho state many times in the past
twenty years. And this is where we
bought our lands and have been sell
ing them To our friends for the past
ten years and we have never sold To 70
man yet who has not made big money
on his investment. | am not working
the real estate business as side line,
but am here To stay and cannot afford
To misrepresent our country or lands
in any way. Further more have
held the Office OF County Recorder in
Buffalo County for four years and
got in touch with people all over the
United States, who owned land in our
county and therefore was able To- pick
up the snaps on resident land
which can sell you for much less
money than you could buy the same
quality of land from the farmers in
the same locality.
We don't claim to have the best
country in the world, but we do claim
that our country is as near like Iowa
as any state in the union. Also we
claim and can prove that our corn
will make 60 blu. per acre and better,
oats from 40 to so, barley 30 to 80 and
flax from 10 to Is. Also that we can
compete with any state in the line Of
vegetables, and that clover, timothy,
alfalfa and blue grass will grow abun-
dainty: and all kinds of northern fruit
such as apples, cherries, tame plums,
blackberries, gooseberries, currants,
and Strawberries will and do produce
equally as well as they do in Iowa.
| will be pleased to go with you any
time and show you the land whether
you buy or not. A ticket from Man
ming, Iowa, and return will only cost
$40. 40. Bring this advertisement with
you and if you request | will deposit
in the bank double the amount Of your
fare, and If you find | have misrepre
scented our lands or country in any
way the money is yours.
We love competition because we are
confident that we can undersell our
competitor; all we ask is chance to
show you what we have got. Come
and 90 with us and you will not re-
greet it whether you buy on not; and
don't buy of us nor any one else until
you see what the other fellow has To-
offer, as buying farm is some
thing you don't do every day.
Very Truly Yours,
HENRY G.. LEACH

Gsand Jury Illegal

Az special session Of the District
Court of Audubon county, held Mon
day, Judge Green decided that the
grand jury Of this county Is Illegal
because some Of It's members were
Judges and clerks OF election NJ time
list OF names was prepared from which
grand jury was selected. We are in-
formed that this had been done from
year to year heretofore but no objec-
tions had been raised. On Monday
Attorney II. j. Patton, Of Grinnell ,
appeared as attorney for one g. f..
Findlay, of Extra, who had been in
dicted for selling Intoxicating liquors.
While the attorney for Mr.. Findlay
and County Attorney Graham were
talking q gentleman from the country
volunteered the information that some
three or four members Of the grand
jury had been Judges and clerks.
Hearing this Mr.. Potter NJ once took
advantage and made motion To dis
miss the case. Judge Green sustained
the motion To the extent that the in
dictment was illegal because Of the
composition Of the jury; but the next
grand jury can take up the case and
bring in an indictment that will bring
the case To trial.

Strength In Vegetable Growth.

"Strength is not a thing usually at
tributed to maidenhair fern" remark
ed a local florist, "and yet IL its roots
have mot sufficient room they will,
break the strongest fowerpots. Blades
of grass will force the curbstones be-
tween which they spring out Of place.
Indeed, the strength of vegetable
growth is wonderful. The most strik-
ing example is the island Of Aldabra,
to the northwest Of Madagascar. The
island is becoming smaller and smaller
through the action Of the mangroves
growing at the foot Of the cliffs. The
roots break off immense pieces Of
stone, which fall into the sea. Into
the gaps thus formed the waves eat
their way. In a few years it is likely
that by the combined action Of the
waters and mangroves the. island will
disappear."-Philadelphia Record

1T was my fathers sword"
As he spoke Knowlton replaced the
denied brass scabbard on the elk horns
over his fireplace and turned to the
grave eyed young girl who stood be.
side him.
"You see, Miss Marble" he went OH,
trying to smile away the tinge Of bit
terness in his voice, II have no other
heritage to cherish"
Where I stood the girls low voiced
reply was inaudible, but q dull flush
crept over the young Englishman's
clear cut features, and it seemed that
he echoed her words, saying a little
sullenly, "No; I do not wear it."
The sound Of footsteps on the veran-
da called him to welcome other guests,
and I joined Mamie Marble in straying
about the rooms, furnished oddly
enough for a New Mexican ranch
house, yet eloquently descriptive of
their. owners life. The battered pho
nograph with it's heap Of dusty records,
the well worn cloth Of the solitaire ta-
BILE and the many shelves laden with
innumerable paper novels spoke plain
~ Of the deadly ennui of his present
existence. The hunting trophies on the
walls, the old cut crystal service OH
the sideboard, above all the many pic
lures and photographs, among them his
father as general Of division and him
self as lieutenant Of the guards, told
that once at least he had lived other
w;co hod hooD cooootbipr otbor +l,on a.
far straying remittance man."
AS we paused before the two por-
traits I knew that this thought was
uppermost in Mamie Marbles mind,
for since Knowlton's advent in
the Blue Water country his love for
her had been common knowledge. Yet
she surprised me after a moment by
saying very quietly, "Do you know
why he is here?" and before l could
reply answering herself: "He was
cashiered for cowardice in the Boer
war. Mrs. Loring told me. She showed
me a paper that told about it,"
There was q deep culver Of grief i'll
her voice, and as she turned away her
head for the first time I was certain of
what I had for some time suspected
that if she had repulsed him it had
been against the dictates Of her own.

in distress, for I had been her fathers
