Best Tonic For Teachers.

Mary Ellerton: The best tonic for
and fresh air will cure many a sick
headache; brisk walk will discour-
age many fit of the blues. Bicycl-
ing, golf, tennis, skating, all have
their virtues, but are not within the
reach of ALL Walking is a sport for
the many, the only equipment neces-
sary being active limbs and a stout
resolution. For, good as it is for us
all, it takes a strong resolution to-
keep oneself out of doors long
enough in all seasons. 1t is easy
enough in summer, spring and fall,
but when winter comes We are prone
to take only the scanty little walk
between home and school twice a
day. When the wintry skies are fair,
we may stay out fifteen minutes
longer than necessary, but when the
biting wind cuts our faces, how
quickly we seek our cosy room and
the rest of the pillow-piled couch.
There is little time for long walk
on Saturday. Sunday means church,
with a walk in the afternoon per-
haps. But one day in seven is not
enough. Every teacher should be
out of doors at least an hour and a
half each day. If she is we'll enough
to teach school, she should be able to
take daily four mile walk without
fatigue. And good brisk walk it
should be, too. No skinny little con-
stitutional, taken with a load of
school books on one arm. Leave the
books behind; get, if possible,
companion who will not talk school,
and then set out with the firm de-
termination not to return until your
mental pedometer registers four
miles to your credit.
If it storms hard, and a walk is
out of the question, open your WIN
dow and let the out-of-door air come
in. Take at least ten minutes Wig
orous exercise. Breathe deeply.
Count or hum a tune as you exercise.
Be in earnest. Enjoy yourself For
get everything but the fun you are
having. At the end of the ten min
utes your blood will be tingling down
to your finger-tips, and your brain
will be clear.
The best tonic for teachers is the
out-of-door air. If you wish to be
happy in your work, if you wish to
live up to the best that is in you,
take a good liberal dose of my tonic
today, tomorrow, and every day in
the year.

Dear Editor, an item;

My last, perhaps, this year.
I'm keen enough to write EN-,
But news is scanty here.
Society's new fountains
Are growing very dry;
There's nothing in the mountains
But silence, rocks and sky.
Yet by the sumac torches
That on the hillsides dance,
Late gossips on the porches
Spy out the last romance.
The beautiful Belle Summer,
Who's fiirted here since June,
Has met a bold newcomer,
And she'll surrender soon.
For though by height or hollow
Seclusion she may seek,
Rogue Jack is sure to follow,
And feed upon her cheek.
Rose-branded by his kisses,
Her spinsterhood is lost,
Miss Summer now is Mrs"
Her married name is Frost.

New Lunch Room OnenS.

Messrs. Robert Vickery and VIM
Ewing have opened high class
lunch room in the room formerly oc-
eupied by the Winneshiek bar in the
hotel building. 1t is very neat and
attractive place, and they will aim
to conduct only a first class, up-to-
date lunch room. They will sell soft
drinks, warm drinks, etc. and serve
all kinds of sandwiches. Such a
place ought to receive the patronage
of the people, so as to enable it to
produce a satisfactory revenue.

Prominent Family Obliterated.

The Dolliver family, once so prom
inent in Iowa, is entirely obliterated
in the public life of this state. The
three brothers who made the name
famous, each in his own way have
all followed the aged father in death.
OF the three, Victor was the first to
die, his death being sudden, of heart
failure. Senator Dolliver died a year
ago when in the very prime or his
life. The last of the three to pass
on was the Rev. R. II. Dolliver, who
died in Dakota the other day. Heart
weakness seems to have been an in
herited disease, for all three died
of some form of that malady. Two
sisters are left, one of them, Miss
Margaret Dolliver, dean of the wo-
mems department of Morningside
college, where she is doing a work
as noble as any that her brothers
ever attempted. In politics both
Jonathan p. and Victor were shin
ing lights and Victor was no less an
orator than his more distinguished
brother. They have left vacancies in
the life of the state that cannot cas-
lily be filled.-Elgin Echo.

Mr.. John Sorenson had the misfor-
tune to fall down the cellar steps

A motor road drag has been in
vented by a Webster City man, that
is propelled by twenty horse power
engine and drags the whole road at
one operation and will cover thirty
miles of road day. The good roads
movement has awakened the minds
of the inventors to the necessity of
modern road machinery.

can amuse the ordinary man. Can
sing, dance or recite for him, can
paint, write or decorate in manner

often goes begging for woman

WATER SUIT
IS POSTPONED

Washington, October 1O.-The
Wyoming-Colorado water suit over
the right of the two states to water
of the Laramie river, docketed be-
fore the United States supreme
court, was postponed for 90 days
upon the request of attorneys for
Colorado. who asked for and were
granted additional time in which to
make up their case.
More than 500 cases await con-
sideration of the court. This is the
largest number that has faced the
court at the beginning of term for
about 20 years. With cases being
brought from the state courts, from
the district, circuit and circuit
courts of appeals. from the customs
and the commerce court. the su-
preme tribunal is hardly able to dis
pose of the cases as fast as they
are docketed, to say nothing of the
hundreds already on the docket

MANY MURDERS

Fort Lupton, Oct. 6.-There has
been q murder and a funeral every
day this week on the banks OF the
Platte river west of this city, yet the
marshal and his aides have taken
no steps to stop the slaughter.
The plain facts in the case are
that stray doggies without home or
master and none to settle for their
taxes. are paying tribute to the
majesty Of the law with their lives.
The marshal. backed by the town
dads. has decided on q cleanup.
Thus is 1t that every day some for
lorn doggie with protection of
brass tag dangling to his neck has
been beguiled to the clump of cot
tons that skirt the rivers bank. and
then and there made to pay the
penalty OF being a tramp dog.

such a combination does not

Don't approach strange mules
from behind.
Don't try to eat soup with your
knife.
Don't try to figure out how big
the potato crop is going to be next
Don't hunt for the paregoric bot
tie in your bare feet at night.
Don't try to dispense any booze
while Dave Camp Is around.
Don't wear that straw hat any
longer.
On the other hand some things
are lucky on this unfortunate day.
II one wants to dodge the grief that
will be in the air do q few of the
following things:
Look for a black cat to take home.
See II the moon is over your right
shoulder.
Walk through graveyard at
dawn.
Stir your soup with your left
hand.
Shave without lather.
Carry your loose. change in your
