the great men who aided in the max
ing of history of the state in the
early days, and the building up of
Missouri In the stormy days of the re

The life story of General Baker is
similar in many respects to that Of
many men whose records are now en-.
rolled in the Who's Who" of Iowa
His early life was struggle with pov.
erty and the hardships of the wild days
OF the state, seemingly with but one
thought in view, that Of gaining an

received his early education in the
schools OF Butler county, O., where his
father removed soon after General

mans academy. When he was only
!, in his teens. and the country was still
young, the family removed to Des
Moines county.
At the age Of 16 young Baker went
to work in a store at Burlington with
view of obtaining an education. He
was there but short time when he
was compelled to return to the farm
to aid his father However, he did not
surrender the idea of better fittins
himself for life in educational lines
and in 1S49 he entered the first class
at Wesleyan seminary, which is now
Iowa Wesleyan college, at Mount
Pleasant.
Here he remained but a short time
rs in 1850 and 1861 he taught schoo
in Des Moines and Henry counties

b, Darwin at Burlington, continuing
/ in this work until 1855, when he was
admitted to the bar.

Jacanese Pastin1e.

Combats between animals of differ
ent species are a source of great
amusement among the Japanese. Ono
of the most popular contests is that
between monkey and goose. The
monkey is tied to one of the goose's
legs, by means of a cord, and both
animals are set down near the bank
of river, or pond. The goose. stand
ing in dread Of the monkey, seeks fer
safety in the water, and the monkey,
afraid of the water, eXerts himself to
the uttermost not to be drawn into it.
AS rule, the goose draws the monkey
into the water, and then the cunning
Isimian sits astride of the goose, in
equestrian fashion. The goose then
tries to dive, and the monkey pre-
vents her if he can; and SO the fight
|goes on until the spectators tire, and
|the animals are released from an un.
|congenial companionship.

French LAWYERS Went on Strike.

Over 900 years ago one of the most
unusual strikes ever recorded took
place in Paris, when all the lawyers
walked out, SO to speak. law or
ordonnance was issued and promul
gated by the French king, Henry Ill,
ordering all lawyers to sign their
pleadings and to state the amount
they were charging their clients for
their services. This was done so
that the lawyers could be properly and
stuff ciently taxed on their income. The
lawyers objected, and the strike, caus-
ing an entire stay of judicial proceed
ings, followed. Peace was restored
by the non-enforcement of the ordon-
nance, though it was not repealed.

THEIR kPPETITES WITH THEM
2R Pounds of Meat and IL Quarts Of
Strong Drink Per Capita
Is French Record.

Frenchmen are pretty able trencher-
men, but the following account of a
meal made by eight Norman peasants
surpasses expectations. According to
the Medical Journal, a grazier with
seven of his friends undertook an ex-
pedition to gather fagots.
Among them they should have man
aged some 400 fagots, but 81 repre-
sented the sum of their work, the
small total being accounted for, pos
sibly by the luncheon which the octet
deyoured. They managed to consume
20 pounds of meat, quarts of pure
perry, 16 bottles of assorted wines, 9
bottles of champagne and quarts OF
cider brandy of an alcoholic strength
of 65 per cent. A roast goose, placed
thoughtfully among the rations, was
not required.
This luncheon represents an aver
age of 21a pounds of meat and IL
quarts of milk, none of it weak, per
capita during the IL hours occupied
by the expedition.

HOW PAPER CAME TO BE
A Wasp in a Garden Was Inspiration
to Nipponese Who Could Grasp
Opportunity.

Long years ago Japanese walked
through his pretty garden to his home;
his hands were clasped behind his
back and he was thinking as he cross
ed the bridge to pluck a fresh wiste-
ria blossom that hung Just over his
head. This little gentleman had q
great many parcels to send out from
his shop every week, and he had al
ways wrapped them in silk; but this
was expensive material and he need
ed something cheaper for his purpose.
All at once a wasp came fitting to-
ward him, but he thrust it away that
it might not nip his nose, and 10!
there at his hand was a wasp's nest,
1t was made of thin wood pulp, soft
ened into thin paste by the jaws of
the insect, then formed and left
to dry.
why can't l do that same thing?"
thought the japanese merchant. Get
certain wood, form II into a pulp by
means of water from the river and
make something like this wasp's nest
in consistency to wrap about my pack
ages" So this was the way paper was
first discovered; A wasp flew across

HAVE GOOD IDEA OF DRESS
Many Men Possess the Artistic Eye
When II Comes to Matter Of Fem
inine Drapery.

There is an old tradition to the ef-
feet that men lack discretion as well
as artistic eye in the selection of
becomingly gowned woman. A man
notoriously at sea in the matter of
feminine frocks was asked to design
what to his mind was a graceful dress
for the Identification of the woman
ly figure. The result not only vindi-
Gated men of the charge of ignorance
concerning the becoming feminine
drcpery, but established for him
wisdom and artistry in designing that
many devotees OF the latest sartorial
spasm, be it modestly pretty or dar
ingly ridiculous, will do well to cul-
tiyate.
The fabric Of the gown evolved by
the mere man was soft clinging
crepe de chine of shadowy blue tone.
1t was cut in kimono fashion, with
loose-hanging Oriental sleeves. The
neck was slightly rounded out to show
the smooth, white column of the
throat, and the gown hung free from
the shoulders. falling in long, sweep
ing lines, with just suspicion of
a sweep at the back. In front an elon-
gated buckle of the blue material, en-
broidered with dull gold threads, held
wide girdle, which was wound
around the waist empire fashion, tied
in an odd knot. with short outstanding
loops in the back. from whence long,
loose ends, finished with gold and blue,
fell to the bottom of the skirt The
sash gave slightly empire effect, and
the whole gown appeared to swathe
| the figure in folds of pastel blue. Such
gown must in the very nature of it
self, conceal any offending angular
lines just as it would of necessity
heighten the symmetry of the softly
curving ones. Grace of carriage and
elegance OF attire were its indubitable
followers, so much SO that one won
ders why the distress and fatigue of
countless hours at the dressmaker's
are endured, when art is SO very sim
pie.

When Mr.. Montague, the English
traveller, was in Africa. he gave to
native an old single-barreled gun, and
the fellow was delighted. He put in
a small handful of powder, and about
a quarter of a newspaper on top of
it, and finally ball, and then rammed
the whole charge down. Then he de-
parted. In the evening he returned,
with his face battered and swollen al
most beyond recognition. What have
you been doing?" asked the English
man, in amazement. The native sat
down on the ground and said. sorrow

''The woman has committed q crime

her punishment be humane, not brutal.
We feel that she can be made to suffer

more In keeping with civilization and
