Hunt urged that a delegation of busi
ness men ba sent to a meeting with
the officials of the company in Port

connection by means of the Multno
mah &. Eastern railway, and subscrib

WILL BE DEDICATED
KOEKUK, la., Aug. 25. The great
Mississippi river power dam, one of
the engineer wonders of the world, is
to be dedicated here next week, and
Koekuk is preparing for the occasion
on a scale in proportion to its importance.
It will be a red-letter event not only
for Keokuk and its immediate vicin
ity, but for all the cities and towns
within a radius of several hundred
miles, for the wonderful new zone
which is to be formally opened is ex
pected to minister to the millions of
inhabitants of Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
The governors of the three states
will be here and with other guests of
note will deliver addresses appropriate
to the occasion. From Chicago, St.
ouls, Hannibal, Quincy, Burlington.
Fort Madison and numerous other cit
ies will come delegations of citizens
to join in the celebration.
Is Important Project
The importance of the great engi
neering project that has now become
an accomplished fact cannot be over
estimated. It is expected to work an
industrial revolution in three of the
great states of the Middle West and
will be to this entire section of the
country what the mammoth hvdro-
electnc plants of Niagara Falls are
to Ontario and western New York.
The dam reresents the labor of
three years and an expenditure esti
mated at $27,000,000. With the
single exception of the irrigation struc
ture across the Nile at Assouan it is
the longest bank-to-bank river dam in
the world. It spans the Mississippi
river for a distance of 4568 feet, be
tween this city on the Iowa side and
the town of Hamilton on the Illinois
side.
The structure is built of solid con
crete. The width is 19 feet at the top
and 42 feet at the base. Its total
height is 53 feet, with 119 arched
spans and piers 6 feet thick. Each
spillway is 30 feet long and 32 feet
high, and the steel gates above the
spillways measure 11 by 32 feet.

Professor Slocum of the college at
Madison was fifty years old at a cer
tain date. He was tall and stoop
shouldered and ungainly. He was ret
icent and undemonstrative, and socie
ty knew him not at all. Miss Deborah
Day of the same town had reached the
age of forty-five. She was plain of
face' and frigid of attitude, and her
charms were missing.
It was one -Sunday in church that
fate brought the old bach and the old
maid together in the same pew, and
they sang from the same hymn book.
Fate, through a mutual acquaintance,
introduced them after the sermon. A
few evenings later the professor call
ed. The talk was of philosophy. He
called again, and they talked of theoso
phy. He made a third call, and the age
of the world was under discussion for
an hour. After that it was for the
cow to do her part.
One evening, just at sundown. Miss
D:iy walked forth in a . meadow to
gather a few daisies. At the same
hour it singularly happened that Pro
fessor Slocum sought the same mead
ow in search of geological specimens.
The lady discovered her daisies, the
professor discovered his pebbles, the
two people discovered each other, and
together they discovered a cow. A
cow may be simply an animated object
on the landscape or she may be a dis
covery because she is enraged over
the loss of a horn knocked off in some
way and because she has her head
down and her tail up and is charging
the pebbles and daisy gatherers.
Then the fifth discovery showed up.
It was a cow shed twenty rods away.
a rough affair that had seen bet
ter days. The meadow was retired,
and the shed was more so. They
reached it just in time for the pro
fessor to find a board and bar the en
trance against the cow and later on to
further strengthen it There was no
doubt about the bovine being in ear
nest. She made frantic efforts to tear
down the shed with her remaining
horn, and when she could not effect
an entrance she stood on guard to keep
her victims from coming out. Dark
ness suddenly fell, and then the per
turbed couple suddenly realized their
situation.
"Professor Slocum, I must leave here
this instant!" exclaimed the horrified
Miss Day.
"And so must I!" was the reply.
"It is not proper!"
"Certainly hot!"
"I shall be a laughingstock!"
"And I the same!" '
"I can't go, but you must!" said'Miss
Day as the cow quieted down. "Pro
fessor, you must see that you must go
you must see it!"
"I do see it." he replied, "and, while
I cannot depart from the shed, I can
climb on the top of it" .
This he accomplished by making his
way through' a gap in the roof. He
was now in a position of propriety,
but there was the cow again. When
she saw him perched lip there, so near
and yet so far, she tried to climb up
after him. and at the end of two min
utes Miss Day was shrieking for pro
tection. Down scrambled the pro
fessor, and the cow took to running
around the shed to find where he
had disappeared. The interior of the
shed had now become so dark that
nothing could be seen. In trying to
strengthen the door some more the pro
fessor fell down and rolled over. ' In
trying to go to his assistance Miss Day
suddenly found herself sprawling.
Can a person maintain frigidness
when surrounded by a cow shed, with a
mad cow battering away at the door?
Can a person be stilted after rolling in
the straw and dirt? Can he or she be
severely ceremonious when it is im
possible to see each other? The pro
fessor wisely decided that they could
not. and he reached out and clasped
Miss Day's hand. ' She returned the
clasp. Then he put his arm around her
in a protecting way, and she did not
shrink. Then the old cow. made up
her mind to melt the frost and bring
out the turtledoves if she had. to
break her neck to do it. She gave a
bellow of warning and retreated eight
or ten rods and then came for the side
of the shed like a runaway locomotive.
She hit it fair and square, and two
thirds of it caved in like a house of
sand. In the caving she was mixed up
with beams and boards, and the pro
fessor took advantage of the occasion
to tear the door aside and then pull
his companion out into the open. Then
they ran for the nearest fence. It
wasn't dignified to fall down three or
four times, but they fell. It wasn't
eminently proper, when the fence, was
reached and the cow was hard on their
trail, for the professor to throw Miss
Day pver and then take a scramble
himself, but that's the way it was
worked. Then as soon as the man in
the case could get his breath he re
alized the inevitable. They were both
tattered and frizzled. Tbey had togeth
er passed through peril by flood and
fire (and cow), and romance had come
to their hearts at last.
"Miss Day. I have loved you from
the first!" announced the professor as
he took her hand.
"And I I" she replied after gasp
ing for breath.
Of course she had, too, and of course
that settled it then and there. The old
cow kwked through the rails' at them,
heard the cooing of the doves and with
a snort of disgust turned tail and
walked away. And yet she had made
over two human beings to be like the
average.

AILROAD traffic of the present day is a far cry from tile inconveniences
and the danger of a decade ago. Today every big railroad system
adopts sooner or later not only all that makes for the comfort of tne
travelers, but the newest and best ways of minimizing accidents. These
interesting pictures 6how what the Pennsylvania railroad has done In two par
ticulars for the greater safety of the public. A fire test of a steel passenger
coach showed that the flames merely scorched the paint and. burned the cush
ions. It is claimed that in case of a wreck there is little danger, of fire. TUe
evolution of the steel car from the old wooden tinderbox is not more wonder
ful, however, than is the strides made in signal safety devices. For instance,
one of these pictures shows the signals in front of the drawbridge over a river
near New York. If the draw should be open and the engineer not stop these
automatic signals would derail the train a safe distance from the river.
Liszt a Dry Smoker.
Liszt was a dry smoker of a peculiar
type. Massenet, who knew him well
in his later years, tells us that Liszt
could not play unless he had a cigar
in his mouth, which be never troubled

piano with a cigar between his teeth
and keep munching it all the time he
played. When the cigar was quite
eaten up the abbe would rise. from the

LAWS OF THE MIND.
I am firmly convinced that all
the phenomena of the child
-world, those which delight us as
well as those that grieve us.
depend upon fixed laws, as defi
nite as those of the cosmos, the
planetary system and the opera
tions of nature, and it is there
fore possible to discover them
and examine them. When once
we know and have assimilated
these laws we shall be able pow
erfully to counteract any retro
grade and faulty tendencies in
the children, and to encourage at
the same time all that is good
and virtuous. Friedrlch Froebel.
A Captured Royal Standard. -
The British royal standard which fills
the center of the ceiling of Trhy
hall, Annapolis, is a splendid example
of flag restoration. Professor Wash
burn said that this flag was "in about
as fine pieces as chopped hay." yet to
day it looks as if it had just left the
hands of the weaver. A great deal of
historic value is attached to this flag,
as it is the only British royal standard
in the possession of a foreign nation.
In 1813 Commodore Isaac Chauncey
and General Montgomery Pike cap
tured the city of York, now Toronto,
and took from the parliament house
there this royal standard. Christian

Menai Strait Bridge Echoes.
Among the most noted echoes is that
heard from the suspension bridge
across the Menai straiL. The sound of
a blow from a hammer on one of the
main piers of the structure is returned
in succession from each of the cross
beams that support the roadway and
from the opposite pier at the distance
of 576 feet, in addition to which the
sound is many times repeated between
the water and the roadway at the rate
of twenty-eight times in five seconds.
