Many Books On Iowa History.
The number of books and articles
relating to Iowa history has more
than trebled during the past twelve
years. The fact is revealed by a
booklet entitled "One Hundred Top
les in Iowa History" which has re-
Gently been sent out to nearly five
hundred women's clubs in Iowa by
the State Historical Society The
topics listed in this booklet cover the
main features of the history of Iowa
from the coming of the first white
men down to the present; and under
meath each topic may be found a
number of references to books and
articles containing information on
that particular topic. Thus the
pamphlet will be very useful to the
women's club which are studying
Iowa history as well as to teachers
and all other persons interested in
the historysof this state.
In ss19O4Sa similar pamphlet was
issued by the State Historical Soci-
ETY., but it contained only twenty
five topics, because at that time the
literature on Iowa history was so
limited that comparatively few. refer
ences could be given. Now, however,
nearly every public library in Iowa
contains a god collection of books
on the history of the State, most of
them being publications of the State
Historical Society. which since 1904
has published nearly forty large vol
umes,

THE PERU TURNPIKE
VI. J. Hapgood of Peru Makes a Sug
gestiOn

In connection with the adjustmen,
of the Peru turnpike matter now pend
ing before the commissioners at Man
chester Depot, the question has come
up Of the desirability of adjusting the
matter so that the owners will deed a
strip beside the roadside so that the
splendid forest now growing along
the roadside can be perpetually pre-
served--even if no more than five rods
upon each side. This addition, in
connection with the fine condition of
the road bed, would add much TO the
charm and attraction of the drive.
The ten rods addition TO the forest
part of it, about three miles, would re-
quire sixty acres and looking ahead,
as we always should in every matter,
this subject is worthy of candid con-
sideration at least. This addition in
connection with the magnificent scenic
vew which suddenly breaks upon the
vision as the traveller reaches the sum
init of the route, and which world wide
travellers have declared in the most
respects is unexcelled
would give something of which the
state could well feel proud.

A BALLAD OF CHIVALRY


The hearse has passed, the mourners
too, Elizabeth Ann is dead
She is lying in the graveyard now the
final word is said,
She has scrubbed and washed her final
day and all her work is through,
They mourn her most sincerely and
her age was fifty-two.
She brought up seven children as a
mother good and true,
She tended them in sickness as a good
wife ought to do,
She began the day unrested and she
went to bed half dead;
"She is quite model woman" her
loving husband said
She cleaned and swept and busted,
canned fruit and salted meat,
For sixteen hours a day she proved
household drudge complete,
She helped him when he butchered and
she helped him when they hayed
And she made the clothes and mended
them and in the kitchen stayed.
Sometimes her burdens grieved him
and worried him a while
So then he told her not to mind, to
meet life with smile,
And he carefully protected her--in his
favor you will note.
Though he let her work her heart out
he never let her vote
Her oldest son was drinking when the
local option came;
She did not have TO bear the toll OF
registering he- name,
She did not bear the. trouble, from her
freside forced to roam,
To cast vote on license and thus
break up her home.
She had to gather kindlng, she had
to bring in wood,
She had to help pick apples and do
everything she could,
But the chiyalry protected her, the
men were proud TO note
rhey kept one labor from her; she
never had to vote.
She had an education; she had good
common sense,
She had capacity 10 live, affections
most intense,
She saw the loafers voting and she
asked 10 have her say.
They told her she was far too weak
to share election day.
They have finished up Elizabeth Ann;
from suffrage guarded well.
younger wife will take her place
and in her household dwell;
she's dead and gone 10 Heaven, at the
age Of ffty-two,
though they never let her ballot lest
she have too much 10 do.

Norwich University at Northfeld
has hit upon plan of recognition for
service to the university performed by
its undergraduates, which is most
unique and which promises TO work to
its great advantage. 1t is believed
that this is the first institution in the
United States of college grade to rec
ognize in this way the fact that under
graduates may be of substantial SER
vice to the college in more ways than
one, and also the first to recognize the
fact that great many undergraduates
perform various actssof merit which
rebounds to the good name and reputa-
ton of the institution outside of the
regular academic relations.
