The Uncle Joe Matrimonial Blu
real had a most modest beginning.
Out in Stewardson, ILL.,, there lives a
young farmer who has been reading all
sorts of newspaper stories and maya
zine articles about the higher cost of
living. He read that lots of young peo-
pie did not get married because the
cost OF living was such that perjury
and sorrow stared them in the face.
He was a bachelor and prosperous,
and 1t occurred to him that somewhere
in the land there must be the mate
that would make his home happier and
brighter, that might be just yearning
to get married. yet scared by all this
talk OF poverty and trouble. The
young man wrote to Speaker Cannon.
He wrote a modest postal card to say
that he had a farm of 1870 acres, and
that, like the hotel business, there was
always DON for one more" He put
it up to the speaker to furnish the one
more.
Then Uncle Joe in the goodness of
his heart told a newspaper man about
the young farmer, and the newspaper
man put a piece in the paper and the
flood of letters started.

a strong possibility for Rapid City.
Recently 1t was announced that Scot

to be the largest and best preserved

and entered into communication with
Mr.. Phillips. It Is now proposed to get
the government to make an %aDropria-
ton to buy the herd On condition that
Rapid City guarantee the place to
keep them in and provide for their
maintenance. Congressman Martin
has taken up the question at Washing

ton can be had. The local business
men canvassed the situation here and
have assurance that local citizens will
take care OF the animals should they
be brought here. Ten miles west OF
town is a large open park surrounded
by a pine grove and with running wa
ter and plenty of grass. and entirely
suitable for the buffalo. Rapid City
intends making a strong bid for the
tourist traffic this summer and be-
lieves the herd would prove a strong

Honor for Owney the Postoffice Dog

back to Albany. After that he made
frequent trips. The employees of the
office tagged him 'Owney, Albany
Postofice, Albany. N. Y" They re-
quested other mail clerks to afix tags
to him on his trips showing where he
had been. He soon became so extern
sive a traveller, however, that he
couldn't carry his tags. While he was
once passing through Washington the
postmaster general gave him a set of
harness. From this the tags we're
then suspended. He travelled from
place to place, always following the
mail. In addition to covering the
United States and Canada, he visited
Europe and Asia. The mikado of
Japan presented him with a silver
medal upon which was engraved the
national 0 of arms.
"OWney' met a death not in keep

on one of his journeys, he was chained
in the basement of the postoffice. A
