In France much attention IL given
to the propagating Of the chestnut.
and the fruit is spoken Of with enthu-
siasm and respect. In French litera-
ture, especially In stories for children,
the chestnut tree is quite as impor-
tant q feature as the plum tree in the
politics Of this country, where we
speak lightly Of the chestnut and
then pay at the rate Of S. bushei
for them. The small French chestnut
is called the "chataigne," but the
large or giant chestnut is the mar

tensively in France and Italy. where
1t is used in large quantities.
Every soda fountain MENU" says
tho New York Soda Fountain, q trade
journal, has some reference to mar
rons. and marrons glace are a favor
ite after-dinner morsel at all the larg-
or hotels, yet few persons realize that
while primarily q dessert delicacy,
marrons are an exceedingly whole
some and valuable food. 1t ia not
generally known that the fruit of the
chestnut tree is nearly as valuable
as bread and more valuable than po-
tatoes as a food, being rich in starch
and fat" .N
In some districts of Pennsylvania
much attention is now given to the
planting Of chestnut trees. There are
several hill counties in Indiana, like
Brown, Monroe and Morgan, where
the maroon and the smaller sized
chestnuts could be made source Of
profit. a. ~

wife Wins, az Usual.

"Of course, one can never win an
argument with ones wife," remarked
q broker the other day. Even If one
is perfectly right in his contention,
the fates. or the postofilce department
or something else will turn up to
make it appear that the man is wrong.
For instance, few days ago my wife
remarked that a letter in plain en-
velope dropped in letter box would
be delivered even II it had no stamp.
or course knew better, and told her
SO, but she was obstinate. Just to
prove my contention when was at
the Office the next day drew pic
ture of goose on a sheet Of paper.
Underneath the likeness wrote:
Dear Madam: II you pay two cents
to get this you are q goose ! put
the sheet In plain envelope and ad-i
dressed 1t to my wife. The next
morning the doorbell rang furiously
while was still in bed. waited for
the wife or the maid to respond, but
both had gone out. Finally went to
the door myself. There was fool
letter carrier with that crazy letter,
and had to dig down and pay the
two cents postage due. II had given
the letter to my wife she would have
been still more firmly convinced that
she was right"

when was younger man my
very particular friend and chum was
chap who was six feet four. while
I wasn't much more than four feet
six. Despite the disparity in our d.
mansions we were the closest Of
friends, and as far as was concern
ed there was only one thing that
marred my otherwise complete happi-
ness and that was that could not
be as tall as he. But the time came
when I, thought differently about that,
and when in fact, he, instead of be-
ing proud of his altitude, wished only
that he had been built on my more
limited scale, and that was when in
our later life we had. both come to
be afflicted with rheumatism.
Then when I looked at him, racked
with pain throughout his tall frame,
was glad that was not tall but
short: and when he reflected on the
nearly two feet more Of space in him
self that the rheumatism had to roam
over he used to groan and wish that
he had been built short like me.
isn't 1t singular how things come
about? The things that at one time
we may most bemoan may prove in
the end our greatest blessing"

.LoNG TIME is DEFINED
Remark Of Governor Of North Caro-
lima to Governor Of South Care
lima Brought Into Court.

The oft-quoted remark Of the Gov
ernor Of North Carolina to the Gov
ernor Of South Carolina has at last
been brought into court, carefully
construed, and found not to be 80
long as some other times. It ia prob
able that It was the exceeding
droughtiness Of the interval which
made it seem long. In a prosecution
for the illegal sale of whisky In Ala
bama, a witness testifle ed that he had
bought a pint Of liquor Of the ac-
cused "a short time" before the grand
Jury returned the indictment against
him. It was objected that this evil
dence did not show that the prose-
cution had been begun within II
months after the sale Of the whisky.
the time limited by statute for begin
ming prosecution. In discussing
this objection, the Supreme court. in
Wilson versus State, Sc Southern
Reporter, ia, after holding that "a
short time" might be taken in the con.
nection in which It was used to re-
fer to a period less than IL months,
said, by way Of illustration: The
expression a long time would refer
to a very different period Of duration
and have a widely different meaning
in measuring time when used. BY an
Archaeological having reference to the
period of existence of the Egyptian
pyramids, than when used by Caro-
lima Governors with reference to the
time between drinks" The court
may be right. but probably the Gov.
ernor Of North Caroline measured
time as recommended by the poet
who said: I'VE live = = in feelings,
not In figures on the dial. Golfers.

BURGLARS At COCOON.

The general store of the Ware and
Patton company at Coggon was bur-
giarized one night last week. The
safe was blown and about $50 in cash
and $50 worth of jewelry was taken.
Sheriff Lotus and the local police
OF Cedar Rapids were notified and
they went in search Of them. a.E
So far as could be learned there Is
absolutely no clue to the burglars ex-
cept that two strangers were seen
IN town that day.
It Is thought the burglary occur
ed some time after midnight and so
iar as known they walked out OF
town.
The burglars did neat job in
blowing the safe, the charge of nj
troglycerine taking off the outside
doors, and lossening the inner door
so it could be opened.
No one apparently heard the ex-
plosion and the burglars were not in
terfered with in any way. Xxx

NEW CHURCH FOR COCOON.

The cornerstone of the new st.
Johns Catholic church at Coggon was
laid Sunday afternoon, November IL,
in the presence of large crowd. The
parishes Of Ryan. Monti. Winthrop,
Walker, Castle Grove and Masonville
were all we'll represented. The fol-
lowing were among the priests in at
tendance: Father O'Donnell Of Mon
tt: Father Walsh Of Walker; Father
Murphy of Castle Grove; Father Nal
10y Of Ryan; and Father Brady OF
the Cathedral Of Dubuque, who deliv-
cred the address in the absence OF
Archbishop Keane, who was unable
to be present. /. H.>
The new church viii! be forty-two
feet by seventy feet when complet-
ed and is being made Of the new
style red pressed brick. i
The receptacle in the cornerstone,
when sealed up, contained the names
of the town officers, the names of
the visiting clergy, copy of the &C.

of the Coggon Monitor and a num-
Der Of minor articles. >f. ..5,>
The new building, when completed,
will be one Of the finest churches in
this locality and makes a nice i'm
provement for Coggon.

It was . political meeting in tho
east end, and the M. p, an excep-
tionally popular man, was addressing
his constituents. The politician In
question rejoices in luxuriant crop
of hair. The audience was sympa-

parently. and had but recently been

The Shutter Is No More.

A writer describes the forenoon
Sunday Strand and Fleet Street as
"a suffered DESERT" and doubtless
he is quite satisfied with the phrase.
But is it accurate? How many shut
tered windows does he think he would
see in these thoroughfares on Sum-
day or at any other time when the
shops are shut? AS matter of fact
the shutter has gone from central Lon
don, and is rapidly passing even from
the suburbs. At what date did the
shutter begin to disappear? It was
fitting Of all shops as late as the
sos. The worst the modern. shop
shows on Sundays is the blind And
most shops present the weekday
temptation with a closed door.-Lon.

What He Remembered.

When prospective voter in. one of
Chicago's election districts was asked
the date Of his naturalization he re-
piled that he had taken out his pa
pers so long before that he could not
remember just when he had become
an American. ' --
The officer to whom this statement
was made was extremely thoughtful
for a moment. Then he added:
Can you remember who was the
Republican candidate for president
that year? FIX.
"Sure, don't remember who was
running for prisidint," was the re-
Spouse, "but it was the same year
that Stuffy McGinnis was appointed
Dog Drownder."

HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Metal 10 Rolled Into q Ribbon and
Pen Shapes Are Cut Out BY
Machinery.

The tiny tip Of white metal seen on
the under side of the point OF gold
pen may be Of platinum, but it is more
likely to be iridium. Iridium is very
hard metal and it Is expensive; It.
costs about four times as much as
gold. The purpose Of the iridium tip
is, OF course, to give the pen moro
durable tip. 7
The gold pen maker buys his gold
at the assay Office in bars Of pure "a
karat gold, which he melts and alloys
with his silver and copper to the de-
gree OF fneness required. Gold Of II
karats IL used in the manufacture OF
the best American gold pens, that be-
ing the degree Of Ifineness deemed
most suitable for pen use; but good
pens made in this country for sale IN
France are made Of 10 karats, the
French government requiring that all
articles exposed for sale In that coun-
try as gold shall be Of not less than
10 karats. '1
The gold from which the pens are
to be made is rolled and rerolled until
what was originally thick. heavy bar
Of gold has been rolled into q thin
gold ribbon about three feet In length
by four inches wide. Then this gold
l4bbon Is put into machine which
stamps out of 1t pen shapes, all still
fiat. Then on the tip Of each Of these
pens is fused the iridium point. and
then the shapes 60 to q Sitting ma
chine, which cut the slit In the pen.
From this Sitting machine the pens
go through another. which gives them
their rounded, familiar pen form. and
then the pens are ground and polish
ed and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or as dip pens are sold in every coun'
try In Europe in competition with pens
of British or OF German manufacture,
and under the same competition they
are sold throughout the world. IN
South America, Africa. Japan. China,
wherever pens are used.
