Iowa! Oh Iowa!

Iowa is a pretty good land. 1t
lacks the feas of Carolina, the ma
larial mosquitoes of Florida, the bar
rem hillsides of New England, the
bristling lava of Wyoming and Idaho
and Canada, and miasmal swamps
of Louisiana, the devastating hur-
ricanes of Texas, and the dreary
month-long rains of Oregon, but,
even in spite of these drawbacks, a
man can live here without ennui
and make a living without saving.
The hills about Iowa City are not
much prettier than the Berkshire
hills, and the upper Mississippi
bluffs have only one advantage over
the Palisades of the Hudson-they
are twice as long. The ground is no
cleaner than that of forty-five other
states-it merely grows more. The
rain is no wetter than reservoirs OF
the far west-it merely costs less
and you don't have to paddle around
in it all night to make sure that you
get your share. Iowa apples are
really no better than California
oranges. The only particular diff
ference is this-the Californian In
tk-ee years, gets so sick OF oranges
that he eats no more for the rest OF
his life, while no one ever gets sick
or tired of apples. And then, few
would trade good, invigorating

AMERICA AS SEEN By WIT.
The Huge Humor of the Winning
Post, Which Disdains the StilettO
For the Meat Axe.

To see ourselves as others see us
is usually irritating, but this picture
of the q. S. A. by the erudite editor
of the Winning Post is to laugh, as
Mr.. Joseph Weber was wont to say.
He says:
THE United States of America is
the name given to a large republic
that stretches from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and hopes very soon to
include Canada. 1t consists OF forty
five states, four territories, one dis
trict--none of which are ever united
and Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan. 1t
is governed by President and a col
lection Of Senator'S. The former
usually holds Office until he is as
sassinated or Kidnapped, and the
latter as long as they are able to
pay the free and enlightened people
of the country to return them. They
are also called Grafters.
ITO reach the U. S. A. one must
go across the Atlantic and take the
first turning to the left.
'The principal industries of the
country are millionaires, trusts,
freak dinners, cornering wheat and
tho purchase of British art treasures.
There is also a big business done in
divorce. The exports of the country
are numerous and varied, and in
clude Mormons, Andrew Carnegie,
Guinea Gold Cigarettes and Jack
Johnson. The only imports of any
note are the members of the English
nobility. on which heavy duty is
invariably paid. In the early days
of the IT, s. A. the nobility were con-
spicuous by their absence. The fav-
orite flower is the Mayfiower, and
every old family claims to have a
sprig of it,
"The inhabitants of the country
live principally upon canned meats,
with occasional intervals of chewing
gum and cocktails. AS regards the
first of the three, they eat what they
can and can what they can't. Then
the latter is imported to England.

Mans first home was in garden,

When worn with the strife of busi-

its blue laws.
Its buds are a pleasure AMI It's

Chen last week by Henning Larsen,
G. f. Baker, Ray Algyer and George
Baker. Fifty-siX players were en-
tered in the tournament, from var
ious states of the middle west, and
the winning of these trophies means
that Decorah has the best four ten
mis- players in this section of the
country.
In the singles George Baker won
from Walter Ingvoldstad of Mime

by Hinkley of Milwaukee, SO, ga

semi-finals; then he won from Hink-
ley of Milwaukee by default, which
gave him the championship cup in
the singles.
In the doubles Larsen and Baker
won from Molo and Altman of Du-
buque, 6-1, 6-1; from Mcintosh and
Whittett of Edgerton, Wis, 6-2, GA !;
from Shetland and Blake of Charles
City, 6-S, 6-2, 6-3, rs. Blake won
the championship two years ago, and
Shetland is the crack st. Olaf col
lege player.
In the finals Larsen and Baker
defeated Dousman and Peacock of
Prairie du Chen, ca, 6-3, 6-2, win
ming the championship doubles cup.
Algyer won in the regular cham
pionship preliminary round from
Whittett of Edgerton, Wis, 20, g.,
6-1, and from Seymour of Cedar
Falls, in the consolation singles Go,
6-1.
Algyer and George Baker got into
the finals, consolation doubles by
two defaults, and each won a cup,
defeating Birkhead brothers OF Mil
waukee, Pa, rs, rs.
In winning five out Of nine cups in
such fast company, the Decorah con-
tingent has added new laurels to
their record and to the city, and of
course we are all proud of them.

The Winneshiek County Fair of

grounds yesterday afternoon. 1t be-

force, and had fine time.
The grounds are filled this year
with tents, stands, stock, and at
fractions of every nature. 1t is one
OF the most comprehensive exhibit
tions seen on the grounds in many
years, and nothing but the staying at
home OF the people will prevent one
of the best fairs ever held in De-
corah.

She Remembered the Judge.

Washington Star: Judge Hangar
was spending a sunny autumn week
at Atlantic City, and every morning
on one of the piers he used to see :
young woman whose face looked
most familiar.
The Judge prided himself on his
memory for names and faces, and
yet somehow this young woman es-
capped him. But he was sure he
knew her, and one morning, though
she always studiously avoided his
eye, he stopped and addressed her
with courtly politeness.
Pardon me, MISS" he said, "your
features are familiar, but, strangely
enough, / cannot recall the circum-
stances under which We met. Yet /
certainly remember our having met
somewhere
Remember" cried the young wo-
man, and she rose from among her
friends with angry and aggressive
air. Remember, you old scalawag.
Well. YOU ought to remember. It's
not a year since you gave me eight
months in the common pleas, AND
for two cents I'd push you over the
railing into the water"

Editors Note-The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. II. II. Green,
ID. D., to write an autobiogra-
ply of his life, to be preserved
as a matter of record among
his children and grandchildren.
While it was written with no
: intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filled with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, boy
hood, soldier, clergyman, legis-
lator, etc., that we find much
which we believe will be read
with interest by the public, and
: we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
should it prove of sufficient in
terest to continue.)
