Miss Margaret Wilson and her cousin.

macy of his daughter and cousin that
the president had an opportunity to
meet and know Mrs. Calf. One of the
most interesting facts about the en-
gaeement. indeed, as told by friends. is
that the Presidents daughters should
have chosen Mrs Gait as the object
or their aduiration and friendship be-
fore their father did. Mrs. Gait is the
widow of a well known business man
of Washington, who died eight years
ago, leaving iewelrv business that
still hears his name She has lived
in Washington since her marriage in

within its right and we presume it is
on the line of sectional cleavage that

THE RUBBER TAX WOULD PAY IT.

The state of Iowa this year has
purchased one tenth of all the auto
mobiles that have been sold in the
United States. Its rubber tire tax is
now three times its county road TAX.
Only two states spend as much money
per annum on roads and bridges but
twenty six states have more miles of
road improved with gravel or pave
men1 because nearly every state eS-
ceptins Iowa bonds its revenues.

When the Ottumwa Belle brought
down the river, few weeks ago. the
las. lumber raft of any size that is ex-
pected to be towed down the Father
of Waters, the Belle had aboard as
guest of honor the man who, seventy
one wears before, had brought across
the Davenport rapids the
first raft of logs that was ever hoated
down the stream. The rafter had sent
a boa, ashore at Albany to take
aboard Capt. steve B. Hanks. now
"a years old, the pioneer OF all the Mis-
sissippi river raftsmen.
Captain Steve" as he is known
along the whole length Of the river,
was the son of Thomas Hanks,
brother of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and
is therefore a first cousin OF the mar
tyred president. Tom Marshall. Oh
