a cross-r roads school when he was IS
In 1881 he entered the University
of Iowa. He quit college at the be-
ginning of his junior year because
of a lack of funds. He kept up with
the work of his class, however, and
having scraped together "a little
money, re-entered college as a SEN
ior and was graduated as valedic-
torian of his class.
He became teacher of Latin and
mathematics in the high school in
Burlington, and devoted his leisure
hours to the study of law. In 1886
he went to Chicago. He entered
Union College of Law, now the law

To Know Perfect Loaf.

How to know perfect loaf Of
bread when it is seen is explained
by the home economics experts al
Iowa State college,:
The points considered are: shape
and size, lightness, flavor, grain and
texture, crust, as to color, depth and
texture and crumb as to color and
moisture.
The loaf should be shapely and
small enough to be thoroughly cook
ed, 10 inches long, inches wide
and 5 inches high.
Lightness is determined by rela-
ton of size to volume. The bread
should be neither over nor under.
light.
Bread should have the good, nut
ty, sweet flavor of grain. A sour OF
yeasty smell or taste is not allow
able.
Grain and texture are determined
by the tineness and tenderness of the
loaf. There should be an even dis.
tribution of the gas, making fine and
uniform holes. No heavy streaks
should occur.
The crust should be an even, yell
lowish brown in color about inch
deep and should be crisp.
The crumbs should be creamy in
color, neither excessively dry and

With your iplaintive notelet clear

Miles from human habitation,
How so free from trepidation?
Why your pert investigation,
And for me your lack of fear?
You, of birds, if not the smallest,
Are most wonderfully frail;
But the pride that you exhale
Worthy is of something larger
If criteria do not fail,
You're INDUCING in reflection:
"Smallness is, itself protection;
But take note of my perfection
1t took years to grow this tail"
Animated, feathered atom,

Trim to Minnesota.

A Freeman-Tribune man was up in
southern Minnesota Friday and Sat
urday looking after some land inter
ests near Wells, in Faribault coun-
that vicinity are better this year
than in Hamilton county. They had
sufficient rain and practically all of
the corn is beyond the reach of frost.
Wells is town of about 1000 peo-
pie and is one of the finest and most
prosperous looking little cities to be
found anywhere. AS an indication
of the general prosperity of the com
munity it might be stated that there
are two banks there showing remark
able resources for a town of that
size. The total resources of the First
National Bank of Wells, when the
statement was published last May.
was $909,40494, and of the Wells
National Bank, $657,752.06, the ag-
gregate of the two banks being ST.
567,157.0O. The total resources Of
all the banks in .Faribault county,
with population of 19,949, was last
spring, $5,990,321.19. That is GER
tainly good showing for county
of about the size of Hamilton.
Land in that vicinity resembles
land in Hamilton county and seems
to be as productive. The price, how
ever, is considerably less than here.
A short stop was made at the Fl. A.
