A correspondent wishes to know the
meaning of the word "per" IN bust

much perhaps.
There will be two candidates for
the democratic nomination for con-
gressman in this district this year be-
fore the primaries, M. E. Geiser OF
New Hampton and A. J. Anders OF
Oelwein. What's the use. The re-
publican party has and needs sut one
candidate. and ne will be elected, by
a majority larger than ever-Hon. G..
N. Haugen of Worth county.
At last one contingency has been
found that the primary law does not
provide for. Two men of the same
name in Polk county are candidates
for the same Office. How is the au.
ditor to determine which name to
place first on the ballot, and after he
has determined which to place first
how is he to know he has got ii
there? When the auditor has deter
mined the above question how will
the returning board know how to
count the votes?-Ex.

Allison is really laughable in view of
the fact that Mr.. Cummins is himself

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part OF the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers. and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life. diseases. find allies
in the very elements, as colds, infiu-
en:a, catarrh. the grip, and pneumonia
do in the stormy month of March. The
best way that we know of to guard
against these diseases is to strengthen
the system with Hoods Sarsaparilla-
the greatest Of all life guards. 1t re-
moves the conditions in which these
diseases make their most successful at
tack. gives vigor and tone to all the
vital organs ana functions. and imparts
a genial warmth to the blood. Re-
member the weaker the system the
greater the exp >sure to disease. Hoods
Sarsararilla makes the system strong.

Out by Companions.

Philadelphia, Mar. 13-In a boiler
pit at the rear of 21S Dock street
Adolph Refer, fireman, had a fright
full experience which may cost him his
life. Should he survive the burns
from which he now suffers at the
Pennsylvania Hospital, he will owe the
fact to three friends who saved him al
the risk of their own lives.
Refer was shoveling coal into the
furnace under the boiler and the latter
burst, hurting the whole mass Of hot
Goals upon him. While he lay on the
floor. his form hidden by clouds of
steam, Harry Hassc and Edwin Hist,
who had been standing in the doorway,
jumped down into the pit. and cropping
about for him, dragged him forth.
Daniel krawsen, the engineer, at the
same time valiantly fought the flames
with hose.
Hasse and Hist are at the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital with serious burns on
their faces and arms. ,Krawsen had
both hands severely burned but re-
fused to go to the hospital! ~

MEDITATIoNs OF A sPINsTER.

Not many men can afford to lose any
more money than being married.
When a girl says she will forgive a
man it means she is ready for him to
kiss her again.
About the time a girl looks the most
innocent is just when she is going final
~ to land him.
There is one stage both in being poor
and being rich wherein you stop wor-
rying about your clothes.
A man is always interested In the
woman who will make him exert him
self to talk about himself
Pretty shoes and stockings tend to
make a girl forget some Of the things
her mother used to teach her.
One inconyenient thing about kissing
under an umbrella, it generally takes
advantage of the matter and drips cold
water down your neck.-Philadelph
Telegraph.

american Accent Taught.

According to an English periodical
the head master of certain English
popular school" insists that his schol-
ars shall "learn to speak English With
the American accent and in the Amer
lean style,' says Everybody's Magazine
We don't know exactly what the Amer
lean style and accent are, but In the
opinion Of this head master, If he ex-
lists, they have a distinct money and
business value.
If a man has them, persons who hear
him talk will think that he is IAN
American and consequently enormously
rich" and do much for him; go" him
much, it might be more correct to say.
On the other hand, If they know that
he is an Englishman, they will assume
from his accent and style that he has
been in America, and, therefore, is
"shrewd, energetic and resourcefuf'
and "far more experienced, intelligent
and reasonable" than If he had had his
business training in England. In short,
bows that want to "get on" will acquire
the American tongue. This is very in
penious and has a certain basis OF
sense but American-speaking English
men will find that their hotel bills
will be mighty large and long.

'T'm lookin' for work." replied he Of

got no scrubbin' or washin' or cleanin'
or nothing that an honest body could
do"
This earnest appeal for work made
the householder think that he had mis-
Judged a real, honest laborer out of
work.
