Liston McMillen, of Oskaloosa, had
intended to enter the race for the
Republican nomination for congress
in the Sixth district and had prepared
a platform on which he had expected
to stand. Not wishing to embarrass
the situation by having too many can
didates in the field, he wrote to Mr..
McCord as soon as the Newton man
announced his candidacy, and the
correspondence which passed between
them is given below. Mr.. McCord's
pron?pt reply has won Mr.. McMillen's
admiration and he announces that he
will retire from the race and do all
he can for the nomination and cleo
ton of Mr.. McCord.

The Beautiful Cypress.

OF all the trees in America the cy-
press is in summer the most beautiful.
Ever fresh and green, its tiny leaflets
resemble the choicest ferns. Young,
it is thing of charm; mature, it be-
comes majestic, towering, with long,
straight, thick trunk, which makes the
best Of durable lumber. 1t Is a tree
of rapid growth. 1t is hardy any
where in the corn belt, and southwark
it has no insect enemies or diseases.
A man could plant cypress tree in
his lawn, enjoy it's wonderful presence
during his life, and his son might cut
it and with the proceeds send the
grandson to college for a year. What
other tree will afford shade, add
beauty and make fine lumber at the
same time? Cypress trees transplant
easily, though they should be mulched
the first year and looked after occa-
sionally Once established, they are
able to forage for themselves Cypress
leaves have been found unchanged in
blocks of coal deep down in the earth

plunged into business, and she got en-
gagged to that Bently fellow.
"You can't always judge about
these college affairs" he replied, with
a fine assumption of Indifference. by
the way, whatever became OF MISS
Tolman-of Mrs. Bently?"
"Oh, dear, didn't you hear?" she re-
piled, with shrek of laughter.
NO." he replied. gravely. and q
trife shortly.
"Oh, my it's the greatest JOKE
laughed the girl Let me tell you
no, positively, must read 1t to you.
El-never mind who, but one Of the
old class wrote it to me from Sara
toga. Wait, and I'll get the letter.
And away she danced, leaving her
caller wondering whether to be angry
or glad.
Presently she danced back in
again.
Listen to this" she said, and then
she read:
"Oh, Carrie, just the funniest thing
happened here yesterday. You re-
member Laura Tolman, of course.
Well, she has been here all the sea-
son with her mother-who, by the
way, does not look much older than
Laura. Well, you remember she be-
came engaged to Mr.. Bently just aft
er she graduated, and Mr.. Bently has
been here also all the season, and he
has been a perfect shadow to Laura.
She has seemed a trifle cool, and one
day, presuming on our old class rela-
tons, chided her about it.
ELLA she said, very solemnly-
and you know Laura never was very
solemn, I'm awfully afraid I've made
a mistake. There was another be-
fore Mr.. Bently, and l liked him very,
very much. But he seemed tongue
tied, and it made me angry that he
would not speak, and-and accepted
Mr.. Bently-and sometimes it seems
to me that it would be sacr1lege to
become his wife, when my heart is
somewhere else'
while we were talking a messen-
ger boy came with a note from her
mother that she had left for New
York with Mr.. Bently, where they
would be married the next day, and
she hoped Laura would approve and
always treat her second father with
all due respect-and a lot of other
stuff; and she wound up by saying
that Aunt Julia would be sufficient
chaperone during the brief honey
moon trip they proposed to take.
"Oh, my, Carrie, what a shock 1t
was to Laura. And really don't know
whether she was more angry or more
glad. You see, Bently had found out
that the widow had old Tolman's
money, although everybody had been
led to believe that the bulk of the
estate had been left to Laura"
Nov, what do you think of that?"
asked Miss Sample, laughing until the
tears ran down her cheeks.
What became of Laura?" asked
Belknap, with an Indifferent show Of
Indifference.
"Oh, she's living an old maids
ideal life at the old home in Cleve-
land" replied Miss Sample, careless
ly. "The Bentlys moved to New York
and built a palace on the drive. Laura
preferred to live in the old home. Oh,
you must not 60 yet, Mr.. Belknap.
Where in the world would you go at
this ridiculously early hour?"

ing her steadily.
