POISONED My Dog" written by Roy

In the wee small hours of morn

front porch. l went down to inves

feet from the door my little limo

His eyes were already CLASSY and
he was crying like baby. He could
barely raise his head, his agony was
beyond description, he seemed to
know mis- time had come, for he
looked up into my eyes as though
he wanted to tell me something be-
fore he passed away. Finally he
made me understand. He said to me,
This is strange world after all, I've
tried my best. l have not inten-
tionally harmed soul. l have been
jolly and helped amuse the children
by romping with them and we were
such good pals, and l most regret
that their little hearts will break
when they awake in the morning and
find me gone.
But my life has not been lived
In vain, for in my dying reveal to
my master that there lives in this
neighborhood a person so low down
and vile in character that he would

He called me to him. l thought
he was my friend, then fed me poison.

OLD PROPHECY
is RECALLED
Remember Mother Shipton. Well
She Foresaw This World
War.

The war has brought out Mother
Symptoms prophecy again. She made
many predictions that came true.
The woman, accounted soothsayer
in her day, was Ursula Southiel. who
married a carpenter named Tony
Shipton. She went among the Eng
lish peasant under the title of Mother
Shipton She was born in Yorkshire
in 1883 and died in 1853. AS the
world has outlived the date set for
its destruction, we may regard the
rest of the prophecy as kind OF
haphazard guess at utter improb-
abilities, and the fulfillment Of some
of the predictions as mere coinci-
dences. This Is her prophecy:
A house of glass shall come to pass
In England but alas!
War will follow; with the work
In the land of the pagan and the
Turk;
And state and state in fierce strife
Will seek each others life;
But when the north shall divide the
south, =.
And eagles shall build in the lions
mouth.
Carriages without horses shall go
And accidents fill the world with
woe;
Primrose Hill in London shall be,
And around its center bishop see;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling Of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true;
Tht world upside down shall be.
And gold found at root OF tree.
Through the hills man shall ride.
And no horse or ass by his side.
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall creep, shall talk;
In the air man shall he seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat;
Gold shall he found mid stone
In a land that is now unknown;
Fire and waters shall wonders DO;
England shall at last admit Jew;
The Jew that was held in scorn
Shall Of christian be borne ana
born.
Three times three shall lovely France
Be led to dance bloody dance
Before her people shall be free;
Three tyrant rulers shall she see;
Three times the people rule alone,
Three times the peoples hope Is
gone;
Three rulers in succession see,
Each spring from a different dynasty.
Then shall the worser fight be done,
England and France shall be as one
All England's sons that plough the
land
Shall be seen, book in hand;
Learning shall so ebb and flow,
The poor shall most wisdom know.
The world to an end shall come
In Eighteen hundred and elghty-one.

CONVICTS IN
AUTO ESCAPE
LKers Us. Car TO Get to Freedom
One 10 an Expert
Driver.

Fort Madison Democrat: Two
life convicts, as prominent In
the state as any two prisoners on rho
list. made their getaway today In an
automobile. The men were Arnold
zimmer and Earl Lindsey. The for
mer, serving time for murder in
Henry county. played the big saxo-
phone in the prison band. The latter,
the well known Des Monies aviator,
came from Des Moines for rape.
The prison records OF both were
exceptionally good and both have
been on the trusty list some time.
Lindsey Is an expert auto repair man
and had been assigned to such work
at the prison. He had just completed
some repairs on Guard Titles Ford
runabout and was to try the machine
out this morning. TO serve two ends
at the same time, he was sent, with
thinner. to the state farm mile
north Of town to repair gas engine
which was to be used for the baler
today. This was at 6:10 a. m. They
reported at the farm. fixed the gas en-
CINE, and left, supposedly for the
prison.
Their tardy return caused an inves-
tigation, and when they were not
found between the farm and the
Prison 1t was apparent they had
jumped at the chance for freedom,
Prison autos were sent in various
directions and neighboring cities
phoned to, but with no trace. Lind
sey's expert knowledge of an auto
makes his escape douhly hard, for
with ordinary luck he could be well
into Chicago or some other city
equally distant by night.
The car carried license number
S0414. The celluloid window had
been torn nllf of the hack curtain.

A Cheerful Wastebasket.

Sioux City Journal: One of the
problems with which the modern
daily newspaper constantly is con-
fronted is what to do with the great
volume of press agent matter which
comes to its desk.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
No problem at all. The waste has.
ket at the EDITORS elbow offers the
quick, easy and logical solution. 1t IS
not even necessary to slit the en-
velope or wrapper bearing this kind
of stuff. One wonders that press
agents have so mean an opinion OF
newspaper intelligence as is implied
in the avalanche of material that
flows from their busy typewriters to
the desks of copy readers. A rigid
and indiscriminate boycott on all
such matter might well be the rule
in all newspaper offices.

nne Local Supporter Believes That

Keokuk fans are beginning to talk
baseball again. They are getting
lonesome for the national pastime.
There has been baseball here aplenty
mis- summer, but not Of the brand OF
last season. There have been no UNI
pires to bait, no visiting players to
nan and no home team to root for.
The dyed in the wool variety are be.

One fan who has followed baseball
pretty closely here In the past, is al

come member Of new league that

vicinity
"The Central association is out of
Keokuk's class. The league has gone
upstate and a number OF big rich
towns have been taken in. Why, the
Keokuk- Mason City jump Is as great
Is many in the big leagues.
"A good, compact league that would
be success could be formed in this
vicinity. Hannibal would come in.
for that city is only in the Three-I

Burlington might be candidate, and
then there Is Monmouth, Kewanee
and other places that might be will

these cities would be a compact or.
ganization and no doubt would sue.
coed. The player and salary limit in
a league such as the one outlined
could be kept down and the old plan
of splitting gate receipts could be re-
sorted to. Why, when the Keokuk
team went to Mason City for series
last years the expenses of the trip
we're nearly hundred dollars greater
than the receipts, collected under the
$50 game guarantee plan"
Whether there is anything to this
fans prediction remains to be seen.
But it is fact that there Is a great
deal Of baseball sentiment in the city
at the present time. With the extern
sion Of the street car line to the new
baseball park this fall. the future
looks even brighter. It is conceded
that town Keokuk's size, and with
Its prospects should have baseball.

Attention Given to Breeding.


A big feature In live stock produc-
ton is the turn which has been made
in recent years from exclusive cattle
feeding to a more general system or
breeding, although this does not neces-
sarfly eliminate the feeding business
entirely. The big new idea is the pos
sibility Of quickly growing young
stock of native breeding into finished
beef. A good money making system is
to force well-bred domestic calves to
a weight about 1000 pounds at the age
of twelve or fourteen months. This Is
regularly done under capable manage
ment and brings high rate Of profit.
Farmers raising domestic calves
soon learn that the first thousand
pounds is more cheaply produced than
any subsequent weight, and thus they
not only turn over their money rapidly
but put stock on the market at a COM
peratively low figure. A high quality
of beef is secured and there is great
saving in feeding, care and housing
In other words, a business managed
on this plan takes less capital and
yields a higher rate of income than
