Ought to Make a Stately Nurse.

A Fayette news item states that
Miss Alice Miner Mcdonald of that
place, has passed the examination
required by the government and will
become an army nurse. She has also
passed the examinations required by
Ireland, Holland and Fraice, entitl-
ing her to enter the armies of each
of these countries.
Miss Mcdonald has been made a
life member of the Royal Irish
league of Dublin, Ireland, by birth.
She is the great grandniece of Rob-
ert Emmett, the great Irish hero,
and great granddaughter of the nine
teenth Scotch and eighth Irish Earl
of Abbylex, who was killed in the
battle of New Ross in 1898. Miss
Mcdonald has her family record as
far back as 1176. She also is a
daughter of the American Revolu-
tion and gets her record from Ethan
Allen, the gentleman who informed
the British commander he must sur
render in the name of the Great
Jehovah and Continental Congress,
and Elisha Miner. She is also a
daughter of the war of 1912, so
easily stands first in ancient and
honorable lineage in Fayette coun-
ty, if not in the state of Iowa. She
received the Clara Barton scholar
ship of the National Red Cross, be-
ing a personal friend of Miss Bar
ton. She will finish the course to
become a Red Cross army nurse.

SOmnambulistic.

Miss Hazel Scott, young twelve
year old miss, tried walking in her
dreams last Thursday night.
She retired as usual but evident
ly with her mind filled with the ex-
citement of Christmas and gift buy
ing.
AT about midnight Mrs. Scott
thought she heard the door slam.
Mr.. Scott arose to investigate and
found Miss Hazel gone. There was
some lively scurrying about that
time, but before the family had got
organized for further search some
one was heard at the street door.
Mr.. Scott called and discovered it
was Hazel.
In relating the circumstance she
said that she dreamed that she had
been up town and bought a Christ
didn't suit and she wanted to go
back and exchange it, which she
dreamed she could do at any of the
stores. She said she fitted down
the street seemingly as lightly as
though she were treading on air.
She said she also noticed the stars
shining overhead and thought it
strange that none of the stores were
lit up. When she got between Bart
let's and Viewers stores she seem
ed to discover that she didn't have
the article she wanted to return and
she also seemed TO awaken and
realizing her plight she ran home.
While she was barefooted and in
slumber attire she said she did not
get cold.-Riceville Recorder.

A Queer Cause for Trouble.

Livermore Gazette: There's a
pretty to-do down in the vicinity of
Lake City. Two farmers are at
swords points because of tin can
tied to the tail of kite having
swung egainst the wheel of a wind
mill A small son of Peter Nc
Laughlin was flying his kite and the
winds carried the machine over the
farm of the nearest neighbor, Alex
Horton. The tin can tied to the
tail to steady the kite slammed in
to the mechanism of the windmill
causing the cog wheels to slip and
break and the big wheel came down
to the ground with a terrific crash.
Now the farmers are unable to set
tie the affair without the aid of
courts.

Better Fifty Years Ago.

1t is being commonly reported
that the people of Clermont and
Elgin are seriously contemplating
the establishment of a mail route

to do this they are going to get
one of those old fashioned stage
coaches from the Buffalo Bill show

Smooth Game at Cedar Rapids.

In Cedar Rapids a sharp tele-
phoned to coal company to de-
liver half ton of coal to a house,
into which he stated he was moving
and to send SIS in change with the
driver, as he had nothing less than
$50 bill from which to make pay
ment. When the driver appeared
the man was on the ground, but
he flashed a $50 bill, which the
driver could not change. The man
directed the driver to unload the
coal and he would meanwhile get
the bill changed, at the same time
walking away with the SIS which
the driver had. That was the last
seen of the man or the SIS.

things from Senator Elkins which
shall never forget. One of these was
that rich man never whistles. He
las often told me when hearing a poor
man whistling, that he envied the poor
man who could do that; that you new
er hear rich man whistle. He has
often advised his friends to not get
money stung. In his death l have lost
