SIOUX CITY CEMENT.
[Sioux City Journal

THE Iowa man who can find clay.
or shale, that is At tor making paving
brick" says the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican, will have fortune out of 1t
some time in the future" There are
mountains Of it in the immediate vicin-
ity Of Sioux City, and a few mountains
of 1t within the city limits, which are
by no means narrow. And yet Sioux
City is manifesting a preference for
cement. and 1t seems likely that
cement may establish for itself before
long wide popularity as paving ma
terial. This view Is quite sure to be
accepted in Yankton and in Mason
City. 1t is to be hoped no Jealousy
will be excited at either cement head
quarters when 1t Is said that Sioux
City has more material for the manu-
facture Of cement right at its door
than it can shake q stick at. Cement
is one of the resources Sioux City has
in reserve. and 1t is a resource to be
developed in the near future. The de-

The policy Of some railroads seems to

of how the train dispatcher laid him
out to allow q thru freight TO make one

money for a railroad company to haul
a solid train Of thru freight cars, than
to pick up passengers at cents a

And right here 1t can be said whether

When Mother Reads Aloud.

When mother reads aloud the past
Seems real as every day;
hear the tramp Of armies vast,
see the spears and iaaces cast,
join the thrilling fray;
Brave knights and ladies fair and
proud
meet, when mother reads aloud.
When mother reads aloud far lands
Seems very near and true;
I cross the deserts cleaning sands.
Or hunt the jungie's prowlins bands.
Or sail the ocean blue:
Far heights, whose peaks the cold
mists shroud.
I scale, when mother reads aloud.
When mother reads aloud long
For noble deeds to do
To help the right, redress the wrong;
It seems SO easy TO be strong,
So simple TO be true.
Oh thick and fast the visions crowd
Ny eyes, when mother reads aloud!
