REIGN of the Dandies.

In the matter of dress we have fallen
upon a decline since the days when the
Duke of Wellington was refused adj
mission to Almack's because he was
wearing trousers instead of breeches
and silk stockings. Even Almack's,
however, had to admit trousers within
its closely guarded portals the following
year. When Gladstone was up" at
Oxford the reign Of the dandies was in
full swing. When late in life he re-
visited the university to lecture to the
undergraduates on Homer he was
asked by G. w. e. Russell whether he
noticed any difference between his au-
dience and the men of his own time.
"Yes," he replied, I'm their dress an
enormous change. l am told that
had among my audience some Of the
most highly connected and richest men
In the university, and there wasn't one
whom l couldn't have dressed from
top to toe for f5."-St. James Gazette.

Atlas and HE Load.

Strictly speaking, atlas Is a mis-
homer for map book, since 1t was
not the world, but the heavens, that
the "atlas" OF mythology upheld Mer.
Gator, the famous Dutch geographical
who made globes for Emperor Charles
Y. Of Germany, was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
it as convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod, ngures witha world upon his
shoulders as frontispiece Of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, twas said, made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was, condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into mountain, upon which rested
heaven and all its stars
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester:
Thou art no Atlas for SO great weight
1t is not difficult to see how by an
association of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for book Of
maps which upholds and exhibits to
us the whole world.

Marshal Tureen and His Soup.

y QTS0u anu 0Oups
There is quaint old shop in London
which still bears the name of Samuel
Birch, the first purveyor of turtle soup
in the English capital. Amid all the
changes of the city Birchs shop IN
Cornhill survives in the guise it wore
when it's owner was lord mayor of
London in the memorable year Of Wa
terloo. Samuel Birch achieved distinc-
ton in many fields. He was. an orator
and patriot; he was colonel of the
city militia and accepted with great
good nature his nickname of Marshal
Tureen; he was man Of letters, pro-,
duced plays that held the stage and
books that were readable, though now
seldom read. One of his plays. "The
Adopted. Child" was popular long aft
er it's author had killed his last turtle.
His daughter married Lamartine, and
one of his sons, fine classical scholar,
begat a family of scholars. Yet Birch's
claim to fame rests most upon the
fact that he was the man who made
turtle soup popular. City merchants,
templars from the inns and handles
from the west end all docked to Corn
hill, the turtle house of all London.

W. l. 7. CO. COMPLIES
1t Pays Filing Fee of 5000 to Sec
rotary of State.

For the first time since it entered
this state years ago, the Western
Union Telegraph company has com
piled with the laws of the state of
Iowa governing foreign corporations
operating in Iowa.
The company filed copy of its art.
iCles of Incorporation with Secretary
of State Hayward and paid the filing
fee. Despite the fact that the state
has demanded this of the company
time after lime and over year age
went into the courts over the ques
ton, the company has failed to do so
The company is incorporated at $125,
100000 Under the old law theCom
pany would hav eio pay an immense
filing fee with its articles. Like many
other corporations, it refused to pay
the huge amount required.
Even the state officials were agreed
that the law required too great fee
from the foreign corporations. Hence
in the last legislature the law was
amended so that foreign corporations
are required to pay a filing fee only
on so much of the capital stock as is
employed in this state.
The Western Union company files
under this new law. Its officers swear
that the property of the company in
this state is valued at 1861 ,50S.5O, and
that this is all the money that the
company will put into the state at the
present time.
The fee paid by the company when
its articles were filed amounted to
$685..

oskaloosa s, ottumwa Red Sox 4. (.
A great batting rally in the ninth
inning Sunday afternoon at the city
ball park enabled the Oskaloosa
Giants to win from the Ottumwa Red
Sox by the score of to 4. With de-
feat staring them in the face, the To-
Gals fought to the last minute and
succeeded in connecting safely five
times in the ninth, scoring FIVE runs.
They were also helped along by r.
Price in this session when he became
dissatisfied by Umpire Burke's decis-
ion and threw the ball over the fence
allowing Hadley to make complete
circuit of the bases with the winning
| run.
| The game was a pitchers battle
throughout the entire nine innings
and was an interesting contest until
the ninth. Huddleson had the best
of the argument until the ninth. In
the previous eight innings he held
the local players to two singles. The
visitors secured their four runs in
the third on a base on balls, two-bag-
gers, a single and an error by Lewis.
| The other eight innings they could do
nothing with the curves of Rhine
harris.
Rhinehart for the locals, pitched an
excellent game except in the third
when they punched their hits. Ha
held them to four hits, struck out
eight and passed only one man. Only
two hits had been registered off Hud-
dleson until the ninth.
The feature of the game was the
playing of White of the locals. 1t
was his first appearance in Giant
uniform and he played the first base
position like veteran. He not only
fielded brilliantly, but he started the
ninth inning rally with a hot drive,
and scored the first run for the locals.
He is also credited with the only
| stolen base

WEIGHT vs. MEASURE
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
a State Wide Crusade.

A state wide crusade against short
measures is announced by w. B. Bar
ney, state dairy and food commission
er, following a conference with AttOr-
ney General Cosson
The last legislature made it the duty
of the commissioner to enforce the
weights and measures law.
The first step of the commissioner
will be to instruct the department of
inspectors all over the state to make
an immediate test of measures and
scales in all the food handling shops.
The inspectors will compare weight
and measures to see if thew are true
and if they correspond
Housewives and ultimate consum-
ers" all over the state will be advised
to purchase scales and see that here,
after potatoes, apples and the like are
purchased by weight instead of by
measure.
Il have made considerable invest ii,
CATION in this business" said Com
missioner Barney, land find that the
purchaser will be greatly benefited if
he insists on purchasing by weight
instead of by measure. 1t will be a
wise thing for the housewife to have
good set of scales handy, that she
may weigh potatoes and the like when
they are delivered.
"The Iowa law establishes how
many pounds shall constitute a bush,
ell of potatoes, of apples, of beets, of
blaskberries, etc, and if a bushel

pounds designated by the statute the
dealer must make up the difference.
