1HE FIRST KNOCKERS.

The. following paragraph credited
to a Kansas paper has familiar sound,
as if we had seen it somewhere some
time, but it Is good enough for repro
duction, even at the risk Of being
labeled as "old stuff:
You remember Noah had to work
a long time on that ark. 1t was uphill
business, too, at best, to go on toiling
and sweating day after day in the hot,
boiling sun, building boat away out
on dry land, while the local anvil and
hammer club was around splitting to-
bacco juice upon the lumber, whiting
up his pine boards with their jack
knives and telling him what fool he
was to expect a big rain in country
that was too dry to grow alfalfa. But
he kept at it. Finally, the flood came
and every mothers son of the croakers
was drowned. This is the only in
stance we know of in either sacred or
profane history where a bunch Of
knockers got exactly what was coming
to them.

THE DANDELION.

The dandelion is in our midst again.
We thought we had killed that pest off
last year, but his yellow head shows
this year in increasing numbers. For
downright persistence we can take
many lessons from the dandelion, but
that hardy weed shows such streaks
of cussedness that it is perhaps better
to take knife to 1t, rather than a
lesson from 1t. Suburban Life, maya
zine whose name implies that 1t should
know something about the dandelion,
gives the following method for ex-
terminating the pest:
There are two ways of opening the
campaign against the dandelion this
spring. One Is to cut them out by
hand, and the other and more mod
ern method Is to spray the weeds
with copperas and iron sulphate.
IF you cut out the plants by hand,
it is necessary to cut well below the
crown with a long sharp knife. It is
claimed by weed experts that the
weeds do not propagate from the
roots as much as from the crown.
sTo use the iron sulphate, of cop
peras, dissolve one and one-fourth
pounds Of salt to a gallon of water
and apply to the lawn with spray
pump. Cover the lawn thoroughly
There will be no injury to the grass
In couple of weeks apply the spray
again, and repeat the operations in a
fortnight after that.
1.-THE grass appears black after
treatment, but after being cut once
assumes a really richer shade Of
green than formerly"

THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

The photographers is happy pro-
fession. He sees humanity at its best.
When We 60 to sit for picture we
walk forth in smiles, arrayed in orr
Sunday best. Looking out from be-
hind the hood Of his picture machine
the photographer sees nothing but
smiles. When it is family group 1t Is
a regular riot of smiles. OF course,
occasionally some sitter is scared into
a pose of tragic gravity by thoughts
of the ordeal ahead of him, but the
sunny atmosphere of the studio soon
dispels this gloom.
The photographers have brought
their smiles and the sunny atmosphere
OF their studios with them to the con-
vention in Ottumwa They will be
with us three days and We hope moth
ing will happen to Danish their good
cheer. We hope their convention will
be profitable and pleasant socially.
We know Ottumwa will enjoy their
visit with us and profit from the as

ADAMS SHOULD BE NATIONAL
COMMITTEEMAN.

John T. Adams of Dubuque is the
logical man for the delegates to the
national convention to elect as mem
Der of the Republican National Com
imittee from Iowa.. That Mr.. Adams
should be given this position there can
be no question. He is a man who
sizes up to the job. He is accustomed
to handling big transactions and i'm
portant matters. John T. Adams is
one of the big men of Iowa. He has
not gone into any combinations or
deals or factional features in this
matter. In this instance there should
be only one candidate for this place
and Mr.. Adams should be the unani-
nous choice Of the delegation. There
is no man in Iowa who can more ably
represent the state on the republican
national committee than he and this is
the time his services should be Sc

THE O. CONVENTION.

Ottumwa is proud to play the host
to the charming members Of the P. E.
O. sisterhood. The P. f. 0. society
Is primarily an Iowa institution, in
which the whole state feels proud, al
though it has grown and expanded
until it has spread far beyond the con-
fines of the state. What it's name
signifies we frankly confess We do not
know. After forty-three years Of
pleading and guessing mere man has
finally given it up. He has received
conclusive proof that woman was
grossly libeled by the male cynic who
first said she could not keep a secret.
But whatever mysterious significance
attaches to the name, the order is a
great influence for good, otherwise
the organization could not have sur
vived almost half a century and grown
from the original seven to member
ship Of thousands.
Ottumwa feels honored in being
called upon to entertain the grand
chapter convention, and hopes the
visitors will enjoy their stay in the
city as we'll as we enjoy their presence
with u.s.

CHAPTER XIV.

There are occasions when the office
seeks the man-much to the mans as
tonishment. Matt, wandering through
the mill distract in search of employ
ment, happened to meet former Y.
M. C. A. pupil of his, swarthy, fierce.
ly-whskered young fellow named Dor.
otka, who was machinist in one OF
the shoe factories. Dorotka had been
in the Austrian navy, and this had been
great bond between him and his
former instructor He had Euro
pean's intense respect for one who
has worn an officers uniform, and he
had valued MATHS easy camaraderie,
repaying it with Difference that
helped not a little to maintain discip.
line in the gymnasium. He was for
ever touching his forelock and saying:

to make others stare and appreciate
the fect that they had two naval vet
Grams In the midst.
Well, here was Dorotka, smiling from
ear to ear, and so happy at encounter
ing his lost lieutenant that he could
have danced. He had been looking for

asking everybody, "Vare is Mr.. Brough-

Fine! A glass-beer-and something

At the bar, which was set at the end
Of cut-throat cellar-and over cou-
pie Of frothing stems, the highborn
was more fully informed of the
"peeziness' that would surprise him"
Dorotka, it seemed, was engaged to be
married to Kitty Jankivitch, who work
ed in the same factory with him. Now
Kitty wished to raise a girls military
corps of which she was to be captain.
They were all to wear white sweaters,
dark short skirts white CATERS and
white caps, and the corps was to be
called the white Cadets" Fifty
girls had agreed to join and
contribute twenty cents week

portunity. Ten dollars week was not

NO MORE CHEAP BEEF.

MarshaIltOWn Times RepuDlcan.-
Tho best cattle run in price as high
as 50 per cwt at the stockyards. The
nrice OF meats Is correspondingly
high at the retail shops. The era OF
cheap meats seems to be farther
away than ever.
The fact is that the day Of cheap,
first class beef and porterhouse at 10
cents a pound is gone for good.
There will be no more selected cuts
1T cheap prices.
There's a reason One reason Is
that good farm lands within the corn
helt-and within the corn belt Is fin
ished all the first class beeves-good
land within the corn belt Is selling
az four times the prices it sold at a
generation ago. It takes an acre OF
$40 to $3.50 land to pasture steer
n Iowa where third of century
ago herders held 1000 head on the
range for q dollar season. The
cattle ranges Of the west have given
vay To the real estate man who plat
tad them into farms long ago and Is
selling them out at from SIS an acre
mn to the limit Watch the railroads
where not many years since long
trainloads Of longhorns came bawling
nv from the panhandle and the north
ern ranges. You will watch long ere
the clatter of two-foot horns strike
your ear. The cheap steer has moved
10 Mexico.
The American householder of the
small income must make up his mind
to learn how to cook appetizingly
something besides sirloin steaks and
selected rib and rump roasts. The
fashion Of carrying home steak for
dinner must give way to careful buy
ing and proper cooking Of the cheap
er portions. The conclusion is that
the day of cheap steaks and tender
loins is past and that the income
must be adapted to the price OF beef.
The price of beef has ceased to adapt
itself to the income.
It Is idle to rail over the high prices
OF beef at retail. Nobody can ex-
pect gold dollars at a discount, and
q fat beef represents gold dollars
about as nearly as anything else on
the market
