Upon the night OF April s, or some
not very distant date, we shall at
last with the naked eye see HALEY 5
comet in the SKY. 1t will appear to
be stick of living fire and twice as
thick as that which Roosevelt was
won't to carry when he made ais
haunt around the capito!. It's head
will wave this way and that, and
dread will seize upon TIE people who
have not been giving us our due.
Our Uncle Jim will push his plan
10 elevate his fellow man,
And as the comet closes in,
He'll grow impatient to begin
Our Uncle Andy will recall,
That he has not begun at all
To give, and Uncle Pierp himself
Will scatter his abundant pelf.
The Rockefeller found to date
Is all there is to demonstrate
lhe comet S usefulness, but wait
Until the money syndicate
Looks up and sees that awful sign
Upon the sky. They IL get in line
10. square themselves. The trusts
will ali
60 forward to repent, and bawl
And howl around upon their shins,
lmplorng pardon for their sins.
@
And then the census man will come
around the house and haw and hum.
He'll lead at this and lead DIT that,
and ask the birthplace of the cat
He II fiddle here and potter there,
and take d sample of your hair. He'll
measure you between the eyes, and
figure and philosopher, He IL make
the acid test Lon wealth, and ask of
everybody 5 uealth. He Ii count the
|children and the goats, and ask how
much you have Ill oats, Hell kick
his Sims against his calves, and add
and multiply his lalveS. tie ii show
his Star ana Stick around. and finally
declare his ground and are the Wom-
'enfolk their age, and exit bleeding
from the stage.
Some fifteen million, it is said, will
go to see how many head there are of
us, or black or white, or whether we
can read or write, ana What the plus
of women Is that no one yet is calling
his, and other unlmportant facts con-
corning our domestic acts, when
most or US, 10 all intentS, would rath
Ell have the 10 cents IL costs us per,
and do not care how many of us have
red hair, or who can read and who
can write, SO long as simply throw
ing light upon the matter doesn t
make the bachelor spruce up and take
the pining spinstcr to his heart, or
teach unlettered folk the art of writ
ing, or as far DIS We, at least, are
competent to see, improve our hap
piness bit, but Congress wills, and
so be it.

The gentle rain will green the lawn,
and seed the Congressman sent on TO
prove his usefulness to men will haZ-
airy the insergent hen. The breath of
summertime will blow, the sap and
poetry will flow, and the farmer will
deny his dog to feed that $50 hog.
The playful cult will pirouette
And turn the double Summerset,
The festive calf will buck and snort
and tip up where his hair IS short
The farmer will get in his corn,
The meadOwlark will wake the
morn,
And Pinchot will display the welt
He got to Papa Roosevelt.

with eyes swimming in tears and
the little chin dimpled with fear,

Il sWeeter way TO spend an autumn
Afternoon than to take that photo

the naples are clad in tender gold,
and when little scarlet runners are
coming like poems of regret, from
/ the sad heart of the earth; and sit
down on that mound and look at
that photograph, and think of the
flesh now dust that you beat Just

have no use for predjudices and
narrowness, be it in one party or

SPIWAK FACTORY
OAMACEDB BY FIRE
Loss or FEW THoL SAND DOL
LARS SUSTAINED BY oTTuM.
WA MATTRESS FACTORY.

A loss which will run between Two
and three thousand dollars was sus'
tanned in the partial destruction of the
plant Of the Ottumwa Mattress factory
$50 East Main street, by fire, about 3
o'clock last night. The building was
partially wrecked by the flames, while
nearly all OF the stock was either des-
troyed by fire or badly damaged by
smoke and water. David Spiwak, own
or of the plant, is unable to give the
origin Of the flames. The f1remen be-
lieye it started from the large electric
motor in the basement, which was used
to run a cleaning machine. The base Of
the flames was around the motor
When the central fire department ar,
rived the smoke was pouring from the
front of the building in dense clouds,
while the blaze at the rear was leaping
high in the air. On the second alarm
the east end department responded,
and after one and half hours hard
work the firemen had the blaze under
control, although smoke Wis coming
from the ruins this morning. Three
streams of water were played on the
flames, but the dense smoke from the
burning mattresses which were stored
in the building, made it difficult for the
fremen to reach the base Of the flames.
The loss Is partially covered by insur,
ance. Mr.. Spiwak was unable to esti.
mate the loss on the plant this morn
ing, although he believed it would
reach between $4,000 and $4,000. There
was valuable machinery in the base
ment and ~. - this was wrecked by
the fire. TIL second time IN two
years that ,roken out IN the
factory and /, times the firemen
have had difficult in fighting the flames
on account of the heavy smoke.

|CERRO CORDOCO,
/ FARM PROFITABLE
THIS YEARS PRODUCTS WILL
BRING IN NEARLY
100000

Mason City, Dec. 3.-Cerro Gordo
this year will no doubt establish a rec
ord for profits from their county farm.
It is, not just known positively what
figures the profits will show but Sup
ervisors Grimm and Somers feel safe
in saying that it will be very close to
the $4,000 mark. Cerro Gordo county
for number Of years has had the
balance on the right side of the
ledger at the end Of the year, but this
year is going to cap the climax. Cerro
Gordo county has been one Of the few
farms out Of the ninety-nine in the
state that has shown profit, and has
been exceeded once or twice by one or
two of the counties of the state, but
the board Of supervisors believe this
year that there Is no question but tn at
the county will hold the record Of the
state.
One surprising thing in connection
with the farm is the crop Of potatoes
this year will amount to 1900 bushels
and all of this yield will be used on
the farm. More than 1000 bushels will
be used to feed the inmates this year.
