keokuk State Guards.

Another military organization that
was credit to Keokuk was christen-
ed the "keokuk State Guards" or
ganized in 1874 and disbanded during
the latter half of 1875. General Lewis
Barney was the first captain, DR.. Still
son, first lieutenant, and Wells M. Ir-
win, second lieutenant. Hon. D. r. Mil
Ter was a corporal. This company had
the honor of being inspected by Cen
eral VIM. T. Sherman in the old Glib
bons opera house on July 5, 1875. On
July 3 of that same year the COM
pany participated in a rifle contest
at Carthage, ILL.,, and won prize
from the military company of Bur
lington, Iowa. This company drilled in
"Veranda Hail." but later occupied
what was then known as Ayres'
hall. 1t provided its own accoutre-
ments, muskets being all that the state
furnished. The company had a sue
cessful career even though somewhat
brief. 1t had membership of about
forty. The roster is not available but
among the members in addition to
those mentioned were w T. Rankin,
now counsel for the Pullman COM.

ment Iowa National Guard, was first
organized in May of 1884, taking the
same title as that of the company
that existed during civil war times
Its first captain was Capt. Morgridge.
The Keokuk Rifles was not only a
splendid military organization but as
many Keokukians remember it took
the initiative in many social functions
that are still referred to with a sense
of pleasure. Among the favoritess Of
these social efforts were the open
Drills that appealed to both the
young and the old and were held in
what is now Woodman hall. The first
drilling was had in Masonic hall and
the old Grand Army muskets that
were used by the boys were more or
less battered and rendered hors de
combat by coming in contact with the
iron posts which supported the cell.
ing. Company A was mustered into
the service in this hall.
AS an independent company the
Keokuk Rifles were in camp at Wild

too monotonous and within year tn

STRIKE AN AVERAGE
IN YOUR EXPENSES.
Twill Make IL Much Easier to Appor-
ton Your Household Moneys.

Few American h~cusekeepers make
the same practice as their foreign sis
tiers of doing their own marketing. yet,
failing this, they should make 1t q
rule to obtain price lists from the
butcher. baker, laundress aud grocer
and compare these from time To time
with the price lists of other firms and
to insist on q daily price list being
sent by the fshnan and grocer, while
the various books should be made up
and paid weekly, fer In this way 1t is
easier to trace any mistakes.
Be the allowance per head what
IL may, the following averages are
very useful Cor apportioning the money
required Tor the various tradesInen's
books: Butcher, one-third OF the total
allowance; grocer, one-fifth; dairy one
dfth;. baker, one-ninth: greengrocer,
ona-fcurteenth: fshman, one@four-
teenth. The grocer's book Is, as a
rule. the greatest stumbling block, for
this seems to mount up enormously
Ia q very short time. OF course with
groceries. II there Is q store cupboard,
It Is better to order the stores in bulk
which will keep. as this always eff
fects a saving. IN any case the above
averages cannot be considered bard
and fast, as living varies greatly In
different households. For instance. fn
one household mote fish may be eaten
In proportion than meat so that the
butchers book win be perhaps Less,
the surplus being put on one side for
the fish bin. or again vegetables. But

The revival OF the tray. and its
many uses as a labor saver, would
make a long story. The tray OF
greatest Importance is the inyaIid's
tray, and now one sees such beautiful
" matched sets OF china for the inva-
Ids tray that being served In bed
need be only q pleasure. The tray
ma be as rich and expensive "a ona'a,

old embroidery OF. dainty design in

choice and delightful to possass. as
they may express ones Individuality;
such q tray need net be expensive, and
will be q Joy forever. The Httle use

pitcher and water glass. This may be
of china, with the articles to match.
Those OF xiasesmay be kept bright ana
shining on a tray Of nickel or silver.
The hraskfast tray Is q great ia
vorite abroad, and Is becoming more
andru4oreS popular here.
The maid In q small family finds It
especially helpful, &c she may carry
the tray with the breakfast steaming
hot, and 60 back to her work without
q aiming table to set and clear away.
On days of extra work An hour In the,
morning thus saved is q great help
towards the days labor.
For q Sunday night supper or for q

useful as a tray. The arrangement
and placing of all the food and dishes
