a Good Trip From Burlington,
In Fine Condition
at 9 O'Clock.
LUsK AND KILLEEN HERE
Dubuque Will Leave Tomorrow For
ST. Louis to Remain For About
Ten Days to Pick
up Crew.

The sister ship of the Keokuk. the
steamer Wenona of the White Collar
line. arrived in the city last evening
a little past nine O'Clock having left
the port of Burlington at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon with good load
of freight for this city.
Both the steamers, Keokuk and
Wenona, had good trips yesterday,
both carrying large consignment Of
freight. No passengers are recorded
for either boat on their first trips Of
&c season of 1909.
Both boats were delayed somewhat
on account of the fact that it was the
first trip and nothing else. All land
ings were made without mishap, how
ever, and the two steamers arrived
safely in port, the Keokuk arriving
from quincy at $50.
The deck hands of the boat are all
white, colored roustabouts not being
employed by the White Collar line, or
the Carnival City Packet company,
as the boat line is known.
The steamer Wenona will leave
each morning for the north at $3.50
instead of o'clock and will leave
burlington on the return trip at .
O'Clock, arriving each evening at 8.
Many have been in doubt as to the
proper spelling of the name of the
steamer Wenona, a number of per-
sons persisting that 1t was spelled
with an 81" instead of the letter &C. y
The letter "e' is the vowel used how.
ever and there is not the slightest
doubt about the spelling now with the
arrival of the boat, for along the sides
of the pilot house in letters over q
foot high are the letters, "Wenona,'
which dispells all argument on this
point.
Both of the boats, Keokuk and
Wenona, are in fine condition and will
make splendid runs each day in the
Keokuk- Quincy and Keokuk- Burling
ton trade.

WHEN THE FROST IS ON THE WINDOW

When the frost is on the window
And the is the street,
And the wind is whistlng from the polar cline;
oh it's then we love to sit around
The fire and toast feet
And think about the good old summer time
When the shed is full of frewood
And the coal-bin full of coal,
Even though you've not penny in the bank,
You're care-free prince
AS in your luxury you roll
What you for titles, wealth or rank!
When your somachs full of supper
And your slippers full of feet
And your head is full of castles in the air:
Then you sit beside the fire
And YOU revel in the heat
And you let your fancy wander free from care
You remember way last summer
OF your swimming in the river,
After which the ice-cream cones you could contain
And the palm-leaf fan you carried
And you wake up with a SILVER
AS you see the frost upon the wndowpane.
There's sight of solid comfort
On a stormy Winters night
When the mercury creeps downward far below
To the rudy radiance
OF the coy freight,
And feel our senses Jingle with the glow
1t matters not how humble
The home may be without
Within no brighter be conceived
Than jolly roaring fire
And happy faces all about,
