Dogs IN EARLY DAYS.

Speaking about the scarcity Of eggs

friend William Gilley, into remn-

reminds me of the first two years we
spent in Carroll county All the eggs
possessed, used or owned were prairie
chickens eggs which we found crossing
the prairies. It would happen some
times that we would come so close to
the old prairie hen that she would fly
off her nest. Then we would find ten
or dozen nice white eggs, about two

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

To the Nevada Representative ut Is
evident that the people concerned in
he various industries of the nation are
not greatly disturbed at the prospect
of tariff revision to be made by a
republican congress in which Joe Can
non SHALL be speaker and Payne of
New York chairman of the committee
on ways and, Means"
! The Red Oak Express expresses the
hope that with the senatorial matter
adjusted there will now be an abso-
, Improbable hostility which has ex-
listed in Iowa during the last few years.

"The guarantee Of bank deposits is

the Glidden Graphic. "The object to be
attained is just. 1t will be worked out

"The explanation Of the result" says
the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, dem,
"is simply this: That the people were

for twelve years pillored as unsafe"

republican party if they do not treat
the senatorial contest as a closed in

must be faithfully observed"
The Usage Press is convinced that
when a politician puts in five years Of
his valuable time preaching the vir-

that period is only able to muster four

fifty-nine in his home precinct, either

CASTRO CREATES
/ EW SENSATION
Declines to Let the Brazilian
Minister Look Alter the
French Interests.
THINGS ARE TOPSY TURVY
Mad Dictator Of Venezuela Continues
to Run Things According to His
Own Ideas-French In
terests Neglected.

Caracas, Aug. II, Via Willem-
stead. Aug. ia sensation has
been caused in diplomatic circles
by the refusal of President Castro
to permit the Brazilian minister to
take charge of French interests
here, although Dr.. Jose Paul the
minister of foreign affairs. origi
nally agreed to this. AS conse-
quence of the attitude of Castro,
the foreign minister has indited a
second not to the effect that the
government refuses to accede to this
arrangement because the dispute
between Venezuela and France bears
close relation to Venezuela's dis
pute with the United States, and the
proposed arrangement will there
fore endanger the continuance of
friendly relation with Brazil. The
French interests necessarily are be-
ing neglected, and many monthly
installments due to French claimants
are still uncollected. 1t is unlikely,
in view of the present state of af-
4, fairs, that President Castro will per
nit the representative of any for
eign country to take the French in
terests in hand.

Corsicana to Waxahachie.

Nearly two hundred bright faced
and neatly dressed children from

gala day at West End park in Wax

at the passenger station by a large
reception committee from the local

and impressive sight as they as
sembled in line to march to the pub
lie square where street cars were
waiting to convey them to the park.
Their tidy appearance attracted
many mplimentary expressions as

tion to the street cars. The process
| sion was headed by the Boys band
Although the children came here
as the guests of Waxahachie Lodge
| No. so, all the lodges in the county
und the public ingeneral had cordial
the festivities. The attendance was
large and the triple link people Wed
with each other in their efforts to
make the day one of pleasure for
the children.
| Long winded, tiresome speeches
we're tabooed. Congressman JACK
Beall delivered a short address OF
welcome and the response in behalf
of the children was by Grand Sec
retary Walker of Dallas.
