DANGEROUS FISH 70 MEET

Probably one of the most dangerous

zine. is the candern, or canern, q fish
three to eight inches long. and guilty
of the extraordinary habit Of diving
suddenly into the human anatomy by
the most convenient channels.
There are two distinct species, ono
eel.like in appearance, blunt-headed
and smooth bodied. the other armed
with sharp. bony snout, two to three
inches in length swallow-tailed, and
covered from snout to tail by small
barbs. It is particularly attracted by
the human body, into which 1t dives
suddenly and with great force, pro-
ducing shock somewhat akin to .
powerful electric discharge.
In the case of both types a serious
surgical operation is involved; but in
the case of the Benz variety the more
the fish or the victim wriggles the far

not get back. 1t frequently causes
death, for surgeon is . rara avis in
these wilds.

means of securing blood.

Pilgrim Somewhat Resentsul Because
He Was Msled Into PerusIno
an Old Magazine.

e:Among the things I'd like to know
about remarked the weary looking
pilgrim with the drab mustache, on
the car. "is this: How does doctor
or dentist come by his magazines?
Does he 60 around among his friends
and buy up old ones after his friends
have read 'em. SOS to get 'em cheaper?
or does he buy new magazines and
then lay them away somewhere and let
them age by natural process before
placing them on the table in his re-
ception room?
"A day or so ago had occasion to
sit in the reception room Of a prosper
GUS dentist-that is, suppose he's
prosperous II he charges everybody
on the same scale that he does me-

R.por.tor..l Errors.

An amusing error was perpetrated
by the reporter who made Lord Car
narvon say that "1n these days clergy
men are expected to have the wis
dom and learning Of journeyman
tailor" What he had said was Of
course a Jeremy Taylor" Another
reporter referred to John Bright as
"the gamecock," instead of 1.-The CANA
liel of Birmingham" And yet an
other transcribed his notes Of Mr..
Chambeglain's remark, "They bring up
their puny popguns and shatter me
with abuse" as "They bring out their
penny popguns and spatter me with
peas" THE people Of Edinburgh were
once highly indignant that Professor
Blackie should have referred to the
greasy atmosphere of their town
when he had really commended ito
breezy atmosphere"

Pearl Wedding Anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. George Dell.

Nov. 18th heing the 3Oth anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Dell, few of
the old timers in quiet way handed
the word around and about 80 in oil of
the old friends, neighbors and relatives
completely took this worthy couple by
surprise when theylwere about to retire
for good nights rest. After George
and Lizzie realized what was up, said
Take the house and if you have any
music with yeu get it around" Tables,
chairs and sofas began 10 move out
and then for time we surely did have
an old and young fashioned time.
About IL o'clock the kitchen fire was
started and good cup of coffee and
eatables were served. aud the supper
was grand and in abundance. After
supper, Mr.. and Mrs. Dell were pre-.
scented with set of pearl handled
fruit knives and pearl handled pen
knife, also stick pin to Mr.. Dell and
brooch set with pearls to Mrs. Dell.
Along toward the wee hours, we began
to make a break for home. wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Dell happiness and pros
perity until we return again to cele-
brate their Golden wedding. George
and Lizzie thanked all hands and hoped
we all had good time. Yes, good
tim e would be putting it very mild-it
was night long to be remembered.

Value Of knowledge.

Mrs. Featherton had embroidered .
gown for herself. Butterflies were the
design. and she had made them look
so natural that-so Mr.. Featherton
said-one would think they were &C
tually alive. But Mrs. Featherton's
little son was more critical. He re.
garded the decorative insects long
and earnestly. opened his lips to
speak, and then with remarkable self
control for one 30 young. closed them
again without speaking.
"Well, Frankie" said his mother at
last. tell me what you think Of my
butterflies"
"They are very nice. mother" re-
piled he seriously. "but the next time
you embroider butterflies, would you
mind putting the antennae on the 9TH
er end?"

they had decided on the day the man
spoiled all the pleasure Of preparing
by suggesting that he "bet they would
miss the train" On the fatal morning
his wife suddenly remembered that
she had not put in her mirror and
rushed back to get 1t. When she
started again she was sure there was
something else she had forgotten and
looked in her suitcase to see. 1t hap
pened to be there. SO they rushed to
the depot. The train was just out of
sight, but the man didn't say Il told
you So" He did say. though: III
you hadn't taken 80 much time dress
ing we wouldn't have missed the
train" Il know that" returned the
wife. ''and II you hadn't rushed me We
wouldn't have had to wait so long for
the next train"

Cresco Council, knights of Column
bus, Initiate a Big Glass.


With the initiation here Sunday last
of class of So candidates into the or
der Cresco Council No. 1871 has now a
membership of nearly 200. knights
from all over the nearby territory were
here for the doings, which began with
solemn high mass at St. Joseph's
church and concluded with banquet
at the armory where plates we're laid
for 800.
The Knights and candidates assem-
bled at the K. C. hall in the morning
and at 8:45 marched in body to St.
Joseph's church to attend mass. The
Very Rev. D. M. German, of Dubuque,
preached powerful sermon on the Ar
NOR of God, which as told by st. Paul
to the Ephesians, is Faith, Justice,
Truth and Peace, and that these were
likewise applicable to the Knights of
Columbus. The church was beautiful
ly decorated for the occasion.
At 1890 the exemplification of the
degree work began in the K. of c.
rooms. The first and second degrees
were in charge of the Austin Council,
and the third degree was in charge of
M. ]. Fitzpatrick of Fort Dodge and
Fred Colloton of Mason City. The de-
gree work was big success and WAS
exemplified in an artistic manner.
At 6 o'clock the knights and newly
made members assembled at the armo.
ry to partake of the grand banquet
served by the ladies of the Assumption
parish. The toast program was quite
in keeping with the lessons of the day.
Hon. D. A. Lyons, Past Grand Knight,
presided. Rev. j. P. WAGNER gave
hearty address of welcome to the visit
ors. Very Rev. DR.. German spoke on
Christian education and the Christian
home. The principal idea that be wish
ed to bring out was that our boys were
more neglected in education than our
girls, and that Christian education in
the home is especially fostered by good
literature. M. j. Fitzpatrick spoke on
Knighthood. The different candidates
were asked to give some impressions
of the day. The musical program dur
ing the banquet was in charge of Miss
Ruth Connolly. 1t was we'll selected
and received the applause and compli.
ments Of everyone for its excellence.

new FIXTURES FOR LIBRARY.
Public Institution Receiving Needed
Improvements.

The public library which has re-
Gently been installed in the first
floor of the court house has during
the past week placed its new book
cases, desks and reading tables
which are the handiwork of Abram-
son Brothers. The library In its we'll
lighted room with its furniture pre-
sents very attractive appearance.
Miss Dickson the librarian, who has
contributed SO much to the success
of the library gave to the Times
brief outline of the work done and
the plans for the future. The coun-
ty commissioners upon the promise
that the books OF the library would
be free to all taxpayers of the county
allowed the use OF large hand
some room in the courthouse rent
free. The allowance of seven hun
drd dollars by the city permits Of a
limited number of new books being
purchased above the needed ex-
penses OF keeping the rooms open.
With this money few new books
have been purchased which will be
placed upon the shelves for the pa
irons of the library for use free.
Another little group OF books, all
modern fiction, which could not be
paid for out of the funds appropriat-
ed by the city have been placed on
what will be called the "pay shelf
and these books will be allowed to
be taken out for three days only for
| five cents The money thus taken In
will be used to replace them later
with other modern works Of fiction
SO as far as the money paid will al
low.
At present the library has about
nine hundred volumes on the free
shelves OF those number the greater
part being OF standard class Of lit
erature. Contributions for this Ii.
brary from any of the citizens will
be greatly appreciated
The new volumes for the pay shell
as follows:
