Strange Happenings In iowa Politics.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Strange
things have certainly happened In
these later days in Iowa politics.

place called hell, but we take 1t that
! the Methodists have not made any
great inroads in that region, but Iowa,
according to General Weaver, IS on
the verge Of going Democratic.
These matters seem to give some Of
our friends great alarm. The Bur
lington Hawk-Eye. the Sioux City
Journal and the Iowa City Republican
are despondently bitter while the Des
MONIES Capital has become so delir-
ious that its editor. so they say. no

been grasping at them for. 10. these
many years. They have grown gray

things. They have seen the dawn SO
often that they ought to grow tired,
but seemingly, they do not, We have

that has appeared over and over again
But wise is he who is not deceived by
them, but who keeps along the even

walks in the middle of the road. from
time to time, he sees people Keeling
first to one side and then to the other

It lies In the valley Of What's-the- Use.

Where men don't advertise.
The town is old as the human race.
And it hasn't improved with years.
It's hid in the fog Of Idlers-D
And its streets are sprinkled with
tears.
Its merchant sits In an easy chair
And talks to his customers three.
There's nothing humming in this town
Save the hum of the busy bee.
His shelves contain last years goods,
All covered with dirt and dust.
Sometimes customer buys yard.
He does it because he must.
Do YOU live in this town Of Noe Good,
On the banks Of the river Slow.
Where the business is conducted on
the same old plan
Twas fifty years ago.
Where nothing important happens
On the banks Of this sluggish
stream
Where there is never . rush Of bust.
