TWO SINNERS.

There was a man, it was said one
time,
Who went astray in his Youthful
prime;
Can the brain keep cool and the
heart keep quiet
When the blood is a river that's
running riot?
And boys will be boys, the old folks
say,
And man is the better who's had
his day.
The sinner reformed; and the
preacher told
OF the prodigal son who came back
to the fold,
And Christian people threw open
the door
With warmer welcome than ever
before;
Wealth and honor were his to COM
mand,
And a spotless woman gave him her
hand;
And the world strewed their path
way with blossoms abloom,
Crying God bless lady and God
bless groom!"
There was a maiden who went astray
In the golden dawn of her life's
young day.
She had more passion and heart
than head
And she followed blindly where
fond love led;
And love unchecked is dangerous
guide
To wander at will by fair girls
side.
The woman repented and turned
from sin,
But no door opened to let her in.
The preacher prayed that she might
be forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy-in
heaven;
For this is the law of the earth we
know
That the woman is stoned, while
the man may go.
A brave man welded her after all,
But the world said, frowning, 1--WE
shall not CALL

Season of 1913 Best Ever Known
in Steamer and Excursion Busi-
ness on Mississippi, Say
the Old River Men.

McGregor, Ia, Sept. pa great
pleasure seeking and sight seeing
summer passenger travel is taking
the place of declining freight traffic
on the upper Mississippi The sea-
son of 1913 just closed, the steam
boat men say, has been by far the
biggest and best ever known in the
tourist and excursion business.
Seven boats have been on the riy-
er between Davenport and st. Paul
Of these, four, the w. W., the j. w.
Hill, the Sidney and the barge Mis-
sissippi and steamer Frontenac
have been exclusively in the excur-
sion business, giving one day and
one night trips from the different
river towns in Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota.
The Sidney, one of the old Dia-
mond 10 boats, entered it's career
as an excursion steamer this sum-
mer, forsaking the passenger and
freight service in which it has been
engaged for many years.
Besides these four exclusive ex-
cursion boats the two Diamond 10
packets, the Quincy and st. Paul,
were in the excursion business for
while in the early summer, not be-
ginning their regular passenger and
freight service between St. Louis
and st. Paul until about the first of
July. The number of excursion
passengers carried by all the boats
during the four months probably
approached the half million mark.
The dancing barge Mississippi alone
hos
the whole season. 1t is the largest
barge of any kind on inland waters
| in the United States.
The Frontenac, an old time "raf-
ter" owned formerly by the Winona
Lumber company, lows the big
barge with Captain Trombley, one
of the oldest river men on the upper
Mississippi, at the helm. The barge
accommodates 1900. 1t is a huge
three decker, with refreshment
rooms on the first deck and dane
ing floor $50 feet long and forty
feet wide on the middle deck. 1t is
lighted with 1000 Tungsten lamps,
which makes it brilliant specta-
Gle on the dark waters as it is tOwed
up and down river at night. Like
all the other excursion boats the
Mississippi carries its own orchestra
and steam calliope.
The best excursion point on
the river, the men in the business
say, is Davenport with Rock Island
and Moline in such close proximity.
Other good points are Dubuque, La
Crosse, Winona and Saltwater.
Among the smaller towns Prairie
du Chen ranks best as the two
towns, McGregor and North Nc
Gregor, are just across the channel
and always furnish good quota of
passengers.
The Morning Star is the only
boat on the river that has done pas
senger and freight business between
Davenport and st. Paul from the be-
ginning to the close Of the season.
This is the third year the boat has
been on the upper Mississippi. 1t has
been much the most profitable year
Of the three. Net only has the boat
beer, crowded beyond its stateroom
capacity many trips, but hundreds
of passengers have been turned
away during the summer in the
more northern towns, the boat fill-
ing up down stream. q

PROFIT IN ACORN CROP.
Linn County Farmer Finds it Pays
To Own Groves OF Oak
Trees.

Cedar Rapids. Sept. 29.-To get
big and valuable crop Of hog feed
without having worked or invested
money always seemed an impossible
ity TO many farmers. This theory Is
knocked to the winds this year by
the bumper crop OF acorns which the
oak trees OF this vicinity yielded.
Lewis Helms, lawyer by vocation
and farmer by avocation, perhaps is
about the most fortunate of the
farmers who get the valuable acorn
present from nature.
Mr.. Helms recently visited the
pasture ION his farm north of Cedar
Rapids and discovered that the oak
trees on his land yielded crop of
about 200 bushels OF nice large
acorns Mr.. Helms is shrewd
farmer, and knows the value of
acorns as a natural hog food. He
Immediately got busy arranging to
OF acorns. OF course Mr.. Helms had
additional luck in that he has from
4V0 to 500 hogs which will fatten
by eating the acorns.
Mr.. Helms acorn crop was the top
ic of discussion on the Cedar Rapids
grain market Tuesday morning
Farmers estimated conservatiyely
that the 200 bushels OF acorns are
about equal TO 1900 bushels of
corn. AT present corn is selling at
40 cents per bushel, is scarce and
is expected to advance in price. Even
at the present price OF corn, Mr..
Helm 5 acorn crop is worth about
$1,000. 1t may be worth much more
witnin a few weeks. The farmers
say that acorns are very good and
wholesome food for hogs. In fact,
that hogs fed OH acorns seldom con-
tract hog diseases.
