AN COW.

The day after Christmas u neigh
Dor, Mrs. Frank West, came over,
illustrated and informed us
that their COW had gone upstairs in
our barn and invited u help to re-
quest the bovine TO come down to
earth again. Mrs. West said that the
COW had acted in a very unbecoming
manne by breaking out OF the door
and going over to our place and when
Mrs. West went after her the COW
was just disappearing up the stairs
to the hay loft.
Whether she was dissatisfied with
her feed, the way she was treated or
her quarters on the lower floor oil the
barn. | do not pretend to explain, but
| do know that she is in much better
condition now. She must have gof q
notion In her head that Christmfs

was not better or more to her liking

A REMARKABLE FAMILY.

J. f. Beck handed us the following
from the Atlantic. Iowa. Telegraph.
which refers 10 the family, w. J.
Beck being his brother:
The Telegraph is in receipt of a
very interesting communication from
its good old friend. the venerable w.
J. Beck, written by himself, that will
be of more or less interest TO every
reader OF this paper. The article
shows that Mr.. Beck belongs to a
somewhat remarkable family. The
commuI ication was written Friday,
August II, and is as follows:
Editor Telegraph: This is my
eighty.fourth birthday. | was born
August IA, 1924. In Vernon. Jen-
nings county, Indiana. | moved TO
Illinois in the spring Of 1888, and
grew TO manhood there. | came to
Iowa in the fall of 1872 and TO Cass
county and Atlantic in the spring of
1894. since which time this has been
my home.
But | write more especially of the
family than | do of myself.
There were eleven brothers and
two sisters of us. One sister died at IA
years and another at the
age of 81 years, ) months and Z
days: also a brother who passed away
when 50 years, 9 months and 20 days
old, leaving eight Of us still living.
| am the oldest of the eight, and the
Youngest is now past 81, making the
aggregate age of those living over COZ
years. or an average Of 20 years and
3 months. Adding the years of the
deceased brother makes a grand total
OF over 1888 years, or an average or
more than II years.
1--WE were all raised on the same
farm and were accustomed to hard
work.
my fither, James Beck, was a sol
der in the war of 1912. Two brothers
and two brother in laws served in the
union army of the sixties.
"As to our church affiliations, We
are Methodists. Politically, we are
democrats, republicans and prohibi-
t~ionists straight! No mugwumps.
Now there may be other families
in Cass county the aggregate or
whose ages exceed the above. If so
! would be pleased to near from them.

of Stanford White or to a lunatic aSy-

time he shot and killed the noted
architect.
For the second time in all his petted

murderer not responsible for his act

Justice DOwling's charge was a mas

millionaire prisoner as a miserable
drunkard. coward and a detesta bic
