Opinions of Others.

I never yet knew any man so bad
but some have thought him honest ard
afforded him love; nor any one SO
good but some have thought him vile
and hated him. Few are so thorough
ly wicked as not to be estimable to
some; and few are SO just as not to
seem unequal; ignorance, envy and
partially enter much into the opinions
we form of others. Nor can man, in
himself, always appear alike to all. In
some, nature has made disparity; in
some, report has blinded judgment,
and in others accident is the cause of
disposing us to love or hate.-Owen

Cabling an Indian God.

A story comes from Gorakhpur,
india, to the effect that two boys went
to the river side to invoke the water
god Mahadeo. They recited man
thras" at some length, but Mahadeo
did not appear. Whereupon the lads
contrived to hasten his coming by
cutting at each others throat with a.
sword, suggesting thereby to the re-
calcitrant that their lives were in dan
ger. This method of invocation prov
ing abortive as well, they both jumped
into the river. One was drowned, but
the other returned to his right mind
and ran home to tell his story.

Attention Land Purchasers

Will you need money to pay for
the land you bought?
II 90 Now is the time 10 arrange
for it.
The enormous sale of land all
over Iowa and the high prices paid
means greater demand for money
next spring than has ever been
known before. This also means
close money market and possibly
higher rates of interest. The wise
man looks ahead and does not wait
until the last moment. We have a
large fund that we can rely upon
and are taking applications daily
for March l, next. In the 81 years
we have been loaning money in
Audubon and adjoining counties
we have never disappointed pa
iron. Come in Now and make your
arrangements and your money will
be ready for you the day it is wan
ted. We loan on both the first and
second mortgages and will do az
we have always done in the past

than anyone else can possibly do
We will be glad TO see you and give
you terms.

QUEER VISAGED OWL.

Balloon, Killed in West.
The third great gray owl that has
been killed in the state of Washing
ton, so far as known, was bagged by
Frank Keppa, of Wilkeson, while hunt
ing in the woods near that place.
Fred Edwards, taxidermist says it
Is the second one of the birds he
knows of having been shot, the other
being killed about fifteen years ago.
}. Ill. Bowles, an ornithologist, who
for the last seven years has been mix
ing a study of the birds of the north
west, and especially of the Puget SCUM
region, knows of only three that have
been killed. One of these was shot by
hunter near Bellingham, and the
other two are the present one and the
one killed fifteen years ago. instanced
by Edwards.
The owls have their habitat north
of the arctic line. They are very
scarce even in that. region. In addi-
ton to being one of the rarest of the
owl family, they are also the most Pc
culiar. Notwithstanding that they
measure from beak to tail from feet
to 80 inches, the body of the bird IS
not larger than that OF a pigeon, so
small, in fact, as to occasion wonder
when its enormous spread OF feathers
is considered. These give an impress
sion of bird as large as an eagle.
Instead of large eyes as other owls
the great gray has small eyes and also
small, dainty feet, in contradiction to

a Hint To Incubntor Users.

On farms the hen that steals her
nest usually comes out with uni
form lot of strong. healthy chicks.
The reason lies In the fact that the
eggs are uniform, being all her own.
There Is a little litter between the
eggs and the ground furnishing
proper moisture for the eggs. If the
incubator user would have the same
success he should see that the eggs
are all uniform and the machine is
properly ventilated and the eggs re-
ceive the proper amount Of moisture
The breeding pen should be a good
one. 1t should have shady run and
a sunny side as we'll. Preferably it
should have some green growing grass
or shrubbery Hens that are expected
to produce hatchable eggs should be
we'll cared for. They should be made
comfortable and should be given plen-
ty of healthful exercise In the open
air. An egg that Is strongly fortified
Will hatch strong chick that will
be more apt to be raised to maturity
Good matches begin with proper con-
dition of the hens in the breeding pen
before the eggs are laid.-Ex
