Eskimo Courtship.

If European death scenes astonish.
the consenting Yes" of bride at mar
riage shocks an Eskimo woman. Not
only must a bride show herself uncOn-
senting; she must, II she respects her
self and tribal traditions, scream and
struggle with all her might when her
wooer or his envoy enters her family
residence and. laying hold upon her,
drags her, usually by the topknot. to
her new home. She may be presented
with a new lamp and water pail by
her bridegroom, and she is as gen.
eral thing nightly pleased at her
change of estate. But she is far too
circumspect to show her pleasure or
affection and keeps up noisy demon
stration until she feels that she has
done all that well bred maiden
should do.

PACKING FOR A JOURNEY.
Here Is a Scheme That May or May
Not Be Of Help.

Not Be OF Help.
Jerome X. Jerome recalled with rev.
erence habit of his methodical uncle.
who was a great traveller and who, be
fore packing for a journey, always
made Il list" This was the system
which he followed. gathered from his
uncle's own lips:
Take a piece of paper and put down
on it everything you can possibly re,
Quire. Then go over it and see that II
contains nothing you can possibly do
without
Imagine yourself in bed. What have
you got on? Very well; put it down.
together with change. You get up.
What do you do? Wash yourself
What do you wash yourself with
Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you
have finished. Then take your clothes
Begin at your feet What do you wear
on your feet? Boots. shoes, socks. Put
them down. Work up till you get to
your head. What do you want besides
clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentleman al
ways pursued. The list made, he would
60 over 1t carefully to see that he had
forgotten nothing. Then he would &C
over it again and strike out everything
it was possible to dispense with. Their
he would lose the list.

Turner's little Afterthouoht.

An English critics reference to Tur-
ner's fine picture THE Wreck Buoy"
reminds faithful newspaper reader
Of curious anecdote in connection
with it. When Turner first sent this
picture to the Royal academy it was
hung among several brilliantly coIored
pictures. On vanishing day Turner
found the effect Of his dull gray rem
dering Of stormy sea altogether
spoiled by its bright surroundings
Without moments hesitation he
painted in the lighted buoy in the fore
ground. and its dab of crimson light
showed so brilliantly in its gloomy set
ting that Turner's picture became the
prominent one, and its rivals on each
side were cast into the shade. 1t is
curious, If true, that the most notice
able feature Of the picture should have
been an afterthOught

Two Very Poor Reasons

II some housewives inadvert-
emily use baking powder which
contains alum it is
Usually for two reasons-lack
Of knowled ge as to what it is made
Of, or because it costs less than
q standard brand like Royal Bak-
ing Powder, whi Oh is made from
cream Of tartar.
There is no longer any reason
for lack of knowledge, since the
label on every baking powder can
shows in plain English just what
it contains. If the label on
your can names alum as one of the
ingredi ents, and you are in doubt
about its unhealthfulneSS, your
doctor can emil light en- you.
AS to the lower cost, there is
very little difference in prac-
tical use, about one cent for
whole cake or pan Of biscuits-a
mere trifle when you consider the
vast difference in healthfulnesS
in favor of food made with Royal
Baking Powder.

Fort Madison.
Warden J. c. Sanders Of the Fort

lively, in Jail for the past year. A
strenuous effort was made on the part
of the states attorneys TO obtain the

BILE, but without avail. The warden's
counsel carried me case. that of
"Thrasher, chief Of police, versus
Sanders. warden" to the supreme
court. Within the next day or two At
torney John Fletcher. deputy states
attorney, will move .he dismissal Of
its warden's appeal and his action will
result in leaving the figucative pris-
oner incarcerated ad infinitum. This
peculiar state of affairs comes out of

be considered in Jail, having been
found guilty of the m!sdemeanor

SALE OF PLANT POSTPONED.
Iowa Falls Electric Plant Not Sold
Friday as Planned.

Special to Times-ReDublican.
Iowa Falls, May 1.-The sale of the
electric light and heating plant which
was scheduled to take place yesterday,
failed to materialize and the sale was
for some unknown reason postponed
until May 6. 1t nov looks as tho a
crisis in the ownership Of the plant
would pass either May or May g..
and that the real ownership of the
property would be determined. Just
what the next move in the matter will
be is anticipated with much interest
by local patrons Of this public utility
which has had a stormy career ~
litigation the past year or so. Yester
day representative of Chicago hold
ers of the first and second mortgages
were here and it looks as tho either
Des Moines or Chicago people inter-
ested in the plant in one way or an
other were seeking control of the prop
erty.
In the meantime, the Cedar Rapids
company organized to put in an up-to-
date plant here announces that steps
are being taken to put in the new plant
this summer. The next two weeks Will
probably determine SOMETHING unless
some new twist is given the situation
to further complicate the ownership OF
the property. In the meantime the
people : of the city hire awaiting the next
shift In the scenery. with much snecu-
lation as to the finale of the whole af-
far.
