But IL was pretty sight and wish

Mr.. Red Fox Is rather charming

Where do you think little Peter Rab-
bit was? The Snow Shoe Rabbits were
all asleep in their lovely house under
the great hemlock tree for they usu-
ally slept during the day and were
awake thru the night. The branches
were bent down. with the snow, to the
ground and under the branches was a
soft, shadowy light. -,
Here all the Snow Shoes were asleep.
They were so white they looked like q
bank Of snow,
But where was little Peter Rabbit,
their cousin? Peter. you remember,
had eaten lots of willow shoots and he
felt verv sleepy And 40 he found the
incest little place to sleep on one side
OF little snow bank. He was cronch-
cd down, his eyes were tight shut, and
his two ears, with the pink lining, were
straight up SO that IL he didn't sleep
too hard he could hear any danger that
came near. .a
1t was very careless In Peter to sleep
in that place where any one coming
along could see him. He ought to have
found little hole somewhere, but you
see Peter thought his big and great
relatives would look after him, but they
all were so sleepy they had forgotten
all about him.

the two\ Snow Shoe Rabbits came out
from behind clump of birches very
softly, and what was the dreadful sight

JUNE 16, 1906.

There are some women who are not
pretty, yet who are noted as great
beauties; whose names survive for
generations after they have died. Cora
Livingston was one Of these. A woman
whose great charm and personality
made every one Relieve her exceedingly
beautiful, altho her features were far
from perfect.
She was born into brilliant family
the Livingstons-in the little Paris
of America" New Orleans. There was
great eclipse on her birthday and her
father wrote to a friend God hath
given me so fair a daughter that the
sun hath hidden its face While she
was tiny girl the war Of 1872 began.
and she often played about her fathers
muddy boots in the officers hearquar-
tiers. General Jackson became a de-
voted admirer and always remained So
She grew up in Washington. where
she was the belle OF the place, espe-
cially during the time when Jackson
was president. There are many stor-
les of the brilliant balls that were
given in those days. with the fair
Cora as the center Of attraction.
Finally she married Thomas Bar
ton, who was later appointed minis
ter to France Thru middle age. she
retained her wonderful beauty, and
they say made girls who were merely
young seem insipid." She died when
she was nearing her seventies in a fne
old mansion by the Hudson river.

WHY FARMERS ARE FOR 1T.


ThS; .rn saving that ,nanv OF e
farmers or land owners at least, Will
not vote for the better roads program
in Linn county. We are inclined 10
believe that those who talk that VaS
90 not know the farmers Of Iowa
They think that the lanc owners are
unprogressire
We believe that majority OF the
land owners will vote for the m
provelnents. They know that 1t is the
snap of life time to get hard sur
fcCed road. one that can be useo
every day in the year, rain or shine,
past a piece of land at so nominal n
cost to the land owner.
What is the proposition? The prop
osition is that the automobile owners
and the federal government viii put
up $4,000 a mile if the property
owners will put up the other $1,000
taking the total cost at $4,000 a mile.
And that $1,000 a mile to be paid
by the land owners will he spread
over three square miles OF land, the
land for q mile and a half on either
side of the road, or over 1929 acres.
1t would he about s3.5G an acre if II
were spread equally over this acre
age. but it will be q little more Tor
the land lying along the improved
highway and less for the land lying
back mile or half mile. The
most any man could pay; would be
$500 for q quarter Of section. or loo
acres Of land, and he has ten years TO
pay that in.
That is 20 say on the payment or
$50 a year with interest on deferred
payments he would have the right and
the privilege Of going TO town on any
vday, rain or shine. and with load
AS heavy as his team or his motor
truck can bear up. With land up 10
two and three and even five hundred
an acre is it not worth $50 a year to
any farmer to live on 4 road that
ne can use all the year around. And ne
has to pay that $50 for only ten years
and after that he has it free.
If this matter is presented In the
right way we do not believe that there
is a farmer or farm owner In Linn

And how about the farmers who
live off such main roads? VIII they

and therefore they could not object to

81 think that events. helped along by
the president himself, will verify my
forecast that Mr.. Wilson Is not merely
q candidate for a third term IN the
White House, but that for nominal
iion to such he holds all the winning
cards In his hands" said Colonel Henry
Watterson, the Louisville editor.
You mean he controls the demo-
cratic machine?'
why. yes,"' he answered, III you
care to put It that way. The demo-
cratic party. so-called, he long ago
abolished. having previously much de-
hauched it. Nothing Of 1t survives. ex-
cept the tattered label, and he holds
that betwixt his thumb and forefinsers.
am inclined to believe, however, that
he has eliminated the United States
from his Immediate activities as an
est a blished conquest and is now giving
his mighty thought to the sublimation
OF the world"

OF religious fanatics and rustic schot-
srs, his common place mind grew to
be overturned, and he reached man
hood already a dangerous intellectual
adventurer."
Such characters seem strangely fav-
ored by fortune. The powers of evil
delight in exploiting them. Within less
than a decade, advanced from a uni
versity professor to the chief magis-
tracy, Woodrow Wilson has SO thrust
himself into the affairs of his own
led, and other lands, as to be at this
moment the most conspicuous figure
at the forefront"
