Mr.. Dickinson is strongly in favor of
the proposed Fordney tariff bill and be-
lieves that the protection it affords to
agricultural products will be of big help
to the Iowa farmer. He said he did
not believe there was any doubt but
that the tariff bill would pass.
Discussing the transportation matter.
he said he was in favor of repeating the
section of the Cummins- Esch bill which
made it possible for the railroads to
fix their rates so as to make return

per cent and some losing money. there
is no justification for such a clause

Mr.. Dickinson said that he believed
recent reports indicated revival of
business and that he believed the coun-
try was on the threshold Of better
times.
"The best help the government can
give in helping the unemployment sit

 This was very puzzling Had Eliz- abeth loved someone in her earlier days-perhaps when she had gone away on visit? No one knew. But everyone was puzzled. So much pug zled that they asked no more ques- tions. They stopped telling her she should marry Howard. They stopped telling her what a wonderful husband he would make, and how much he loved her.
 They were speculating on which wis it 1t could have been when the trag- edy occurred. And had the mysteri. ous man married or had he been all ready married and so Elizabeth. as a nice, quiet girl had quickly taken herself home and out of the way?

f0E sT0RM OF N0VnMBER, f9st.

 Through the day heavy dampness Has been slowly settling down, Dressing all the trees and bushes Tn clinging frozen gown.
 Evening sees the storm increasing, Hears the winds loud angry wall, Over all the face of nature Tn an icy coat of mail.
 From the shelter of the fireside We can watch the frozen rain, Beating hard against the windows, Coating every shining pane. Outside is blinding ice-storm, Which foretells a fearful night, Lo we draw the curtains closer Shutting out the dreary sight. Storm and wind-aIlies efficient, Joined their forces f0rfthe fight, Working ruin and destruction Under cover of the night. Daylight showed terrific slaughter Of our friends, the grand old trees, Stricken, humbled, crushed, but plead
 ing
 For relief, on pended knees. Shorn of grandeur is the forest, Orchards ruined past repair, Shade trees stripped of all their beau Looking down in mute despair. Cities are in total darkness, Isolated and alone. Rural districts -icebound, tree bound, Destitute of mail and phone Giant pines are pointing upward While their laden boughs droop low, But the tops of all the birches Trail on frozen beds of snow. A few days pass; the storm is over! And the early morning light Floods the world with dazzling beauty, Browning vale and mountain height. Iris a mammoth crystal palace, And a walk throughout the halls Will reveal the varied pictures, That are hung on all the walls. Under foot-a glistening carpet; On the gate-a silver hinge; While the plainest rudest fences Wear heavy jeweled fringe. From the stone-heap by the roadside diamonds seem to peep And beneath the rattling branches They are scattered, inches deep But the shining, golden arrows Break, at length the magic spell And the fanciful creations crush like frailest shell.

 "Are you almost ready?" It was Mrs. Allen calling up the stairs.
 Almost, mother dear" she an- swered.
 ''You1l be late" her mother called.
 "Ill hurry" she said.
 "Do you want any help?"
 But she had taken longer than she had thought. Yes, If she didn't hurry she would be late! Still she would have George all her life now. How wonderful it would he She wondered if that was why brides were }sO often late because they felt they had 90 much timel isaglTF
 IL was a gloriOnsly happy thought to realize how much time she had.
 She was only ten minutes late. The few friends were at the Christmas day wedding. And her bouquet was of holly and mistletoe. She had always said she would love to have such wedding bouquet. It would be 30 merry and Christmasy and such happy, gay kind of a bouquet.
 George had consented of course. He agreed to everything she said, be- cause he loved her so, and she was so fair with him, too, because she loved him so!
 The ceremony was over. They drove away in a low sleigh with juggling bells to the small house. There, by themselves, they opened presents What a glorious time they had.
 And she had a little surprise for him. Just a little bit of 8 surprise. But she knew he would like 1t.
 "Open that box, there, George" she said.
 He opened it.
