Everything was carried out as ad vertised and nearly everyone seemed to be very well satisfied. The base ball boys cleared something over $225.00, and everyone certainly got their money's worth, as a thirty-five cent ticket entitled a person to attend all three ball games, and $1.00 en titled them to the best dance and to the finest mumc given in this vicinity. The first ball game be tween Masonville and Ryan started in the forenoon and was played in good shape but the Masonville boy's proved a little over powered by loos ing the game in a shut out by a score of 10 to 0 in Ryan's favor. The next game was won by Middle field from Castle Grove by another shut out by a score of 5 to 0. The last game between Manchester and Central City waB the one. It was the best and most closely contested game played recently by two East ern Iowa Amateur teams. It was nip-and-tuck from the start, no •cores being made on either side for several innings when Manchester finally succeeded in getting two scores and held Central City down until the ninth inning when the Central City boys put on their bat ting clothes and scored three runs thus ending the game by a score of 2 to 3 in Central City's favor. The large crowd of spectators were in one continual uproar from start to finish.

A Theory or Two aa to the Origin of It* Name. The liorse cliostnut tree Is well known, and the nuts lire dear to boys and sufferers from rheumatism. But the statement was made lately, and It Is even found In some encyclopedias, that the name Is given on account of Its coarseness: "Like a horse, or like that of a horse hence, coarse and uu I reflneili" The reflection on the horse Is an unworthy one, but let that pnss. Is not the explanation given In Gernrde's Herbal (15U7) a more reasonable one? "Called In EugllRli horse chestnut, for that the people of the east countries do with the fruit thereof cure their horses of the cough and such like diseases." There Is a long list of plants that have auluial prefixes—horse, dog, cat, bear, cow, pig, wolf, mouse, rat, toad, frog, dragon, snake, etc. In some In stances "the name of an animal pre fixed has a totally different significa tion, denoting size, coarseness and fre quently worthlessness or spurlotis ness," but names have also originated trom the particular uses to which cer tain plants have been put, and the horse chestnut Is an example. The Turks, Arabians, Persians, all believ ed that these nuts cured horses of coughs, shortness of wind and such other ailments. In England a prepara tion of the nut was once used for bleaching yam. Yet there may be something in the statement of an Englishman, Al fred A. Mlllward: "The tree possesses a feature which I have often found to be not generally known. It is a very distinctly marked horseshoe, with sev en dots corresponding to the nails of the horseshoe, and this appears at the knuckle of the branches, large and •mall, but more clearly on the latter." —Boston Herald. OUR OLDEST DOLL. It WM Brought From Bniland OTW Two Centnrles Ago. Long, long ago, when William Penn sailed from England on his secoud visit to America, what do you think he brought with him on the good ship Canterbury? An English doll. This passenger Is the solo survivor of that voyage across the Atlantic, which was made over 200 years ago. William Penn hnd a little daughter named Letitla. Letltla heard her fa ther tell wonderful tales of what he saw and heard in Pennsylvania on his first visit to this country, thousands of mi^s distant from Letltla's home. He often told her about little Miss Ran kin, who, living as she did in the wil derness of Pennsylvania (for this wai long ago, remember), had no toys at all, not even one rag doll. When Letl tla's father was getting ready to again cross the ocean to America his little girl Insisted upon sending a doll to that lonesome little girl. So A doll was dressed In a court cos tume of striped and delicately tinted brocade and velvet. The skirt was held out by enormous hoops, for such was the fashion of the well dressed la dles of that period. The doll itself is twenty inches high and has the long waist and Riender form of the court beauties she left in her native land. Her balr is rolled back from her face, much In the style of today. This doll now lives in Montgomery county, Maryland, in the strictest se clusion.

Some curious one lias collected *a mass of interesting facts concerning metallic pens. Some of these refer ences run back us far as the four teenth and even the thirteenth cen tury, and, curiously enough, in the case of the manuscript of Robert d'Ar tois, ttse forger scribe, Is said to. have used a bronze pen in order to disguise his wTltlug and make his deception more safe. A Roman metal pen is said to have been found at Aosta, not a mere stylus, but a bronze pen slit, and there is some evidence of a pen or reed of bronze nearly as early as the invention of printing in the fif teenth century. More than a hun dred years ago some steel pens were made in Birmingham for Dr. Priestly, and some of these pl&ced into tho hands of Sir Joslah Mason in his early days with Mr. Harrison, but ull seem to have been lost. The first pen of metal of a definite date, beyond all question, Is one in a Dutch patent book of 1717. At about the same time a polite ode of Pope's refers to a "steel and golden pen," but these were evidently lux uries only, and it was not until about the end of the first quarter of the last century that metallic pens became more generally in use. In the "Local Notes and Queries" in the Birming ham Weeklj' Post definite evidence haB been given of steel pens as early as 1806 aud more commonly in 1817t but It was about 1.323 and 1824 tlml The great revolutio'n came by which pens were made by a cheaper process—the hand screw press which pierced the pens from steel rolled into tube fash Ion and the Joint formed tho silt, but these required considerable labor to nliape them into pen form. The use of the strew press belongs to the pe riod of John Mitchell, Joseph Oillot and Joslah ison, but on a careful review of the facts it seems to bo clear that John Mitchell has the best claim to be considered as the orlglual Being favorably impressed is the cheapest way we know of being a good fellow.

BIRTH OF THE WALTZ THE DANCE HAD ITS ORIGIN klTHM IN FRANCE OR GERMANY. It* Introduction IntoEnRlnndCaaMt Great Scnndtil In That Collator and For Time Hnd FaaMoasUc Society In mi iiironr. No exact date can be ascribed to the Introduction of the wait*/. Into England from France. In 1800 (Jilray published a caricature of a couple waltzing, with the note that "litis was lutended for quiz upon the then foreign dance, waltzing." Again in ISlo the same art* 1st published another sketch, entitled "La Waise, Le IUn Genre," with the note, "The walse was at this time new In England and just coming Into fash ion." 1 Introducer of press made pens.—Buffa lo Times. PITH AND POINT. Being worthless pays no dividends. Keeping a diary Is nearly as hard work as keeping a dairy. It was danced'at Alraack's by a few very bold spirits, notably Lord Palmer ston, Mme. de Lleven, Princess Ester hazy and Baron Neumann, and thus became a matter of exhibition, the whole company standing on benches to view the performance. However, the antiwaltzing party took the alarm and cried it down. Mothers forbade it, and every ballroom became a scene of feud and contention. How profound was its unpopularity in cer tain quarters is proved by the pasqui nades leveled against It. The famous seven lines commencing "What! Tlie girl I adore by another em braced!" are commonly attributed to Byron, though they were published anony mously In 1812, and some authorities give Thomas Moore ns the author. An impromptu purporting to be addressed by an indiguant lover to his betrothed and her partner echoes Byrou's feel ings: You've brushed the bloom from tho peach, Prom the rose Its soft hue What you've touchcd you may take. Pretty wultser, adieu. Another poet delivered himself of the following diatribe: How arts Improve In this inspiring age! Peers mount the box, anil horses tread the stage. While waltzing females, with unblushing face, dance but in a man's em Disdain to brace. "The waltz, however," continues Ralkes, "struggled successfully through all its difficulties. Flaurhault, who was ia fieur du puis' iu Paris, came over and with a host of others' drove the prudes into their lutrenchinenis. And when the Emperor Alexander was seen waltzing around the roof at Almack's, with his tight uniform and numerous decorations, they surrendered at discre tion." It is a moot point whether the waltz originated In France or Germauy, whether it came from the French "La Volta" or the German national dauce, the "Luudler." According to French authorities, La Volta was simply the waltz a trois temps. Provence was Its birthplace, and it was first introduced at the court of Ilenry II. at Fontaine blenu In ir»55 by the Cjmte de Saulte, who Is said to have iuveutcd it, for many called It La Volta de Saulte, and the name is suitable both because of the etymology of the word and the character of the dance. at "Are your papa and mamma home?" asked the caller.

Hawk mid Wcnsel. A New Zealand paper rotates that a settler noticed a hawk fiylng about In a peculiar maiuier and crying out as if In pain. The settler obtained a gun aud shot the bird, and investigation showed the cause of its distress was a weasel which was perched on the hawk's back, with its teeth burled in the bird's ueck. Apparently the animal had pouueed' upon the hawk when It was on the ground and was carried skyward with the flight of its prey. THE LAW OF FINDING. All Save the Owner the Flad er*« Title IN Perfect. In common law Jindkijs is a qualified source of title to «oods and chattels. Briefly, the law Is that the finder has a clear title against all the world, except ing the owner. The proprietor of a coach or a railroad ear or a ship has no right to demand property found on his premises. Such proprietors may make, In regard to lost articles, regulations which will bind their employees, but they cannot bind the public. The law of finding was declared by the king's bench more than a hundred years ago (when It was the supremo court of common law in England) as follows: A person found a wallet containing a sum of money on a shop floor. lie banded the wallet and conteuts to tho shopkeeper to be returned to the own er. After three years, during which the owner did not call for his property, the finder demanded of the shopkeeper the wallet and the money. The latter refused to deliver them upon tho grouud that they were found on his premises. The Under then sued tho shopkeeper, and it was held, as stated above, that, against all the world save the owner, the tiile of the finder is per fect. The finder has indeed been held to stand in the place of the owner. Thus A prevailed In an action against B, who found an article which A had originally found, but subsequently lost. The pollee have no espeeial rights In regard to articles lost unless these rights are conferred by statute. Receiv ers of articles found are trustees for the owner or finder. In the absence of special statute they have uo power to keep an article against tin* fiuder any more than a finder has to retain an ar ticle against the owner. A finder must, however, use every reasonable means to discover the own er of found goods before appropriat ing them to his own use. It has been declared that if the finder knows tho owner or knows that he can discover him he is guilty of larceny in keeping or appropriating to himself the arti cles found. It enjoyed a great run throughout France and even penetrated to Scot land, where? it met with furious opposi tion, one writer averring that Its im portation into France had been effect ed by the power of witches. Mary Stu art once exhibited her agility In thia dance, but she was careful not to re peat the experiment, and this was about the last heard of it. The ease for Ov.i.uiy is that the a a a popular song calle I "O du lieber Au gustln." From Go-many the dance made its way to Vienna aud was Intro duced Into the opera, while by and by It found its way to France, whence it came to England—"tbe iusldious waltz, this imp of Germany, brought up In France." The waltz when first danced in Lon don was a slow movement- a trols temp*, and the early English waltz compositions were very poor. Strauss came to Lond hi 18.TT to play at Al mack's, and his waltz music created a perfect furore. It killed the old trois temps waltz, and the deux temps usurped its place. Now that tho fasci nation of the waltz Is all powerful, It Is difficult to realize the commotion its In troduction caused.—London Globe. Sidetracked.

He relates how the moruings, which had hitherto been dedicated to loung ing in t£ie park, were now absorbed at home In practicing the figures of a French quadrille or whirling a chair round the room to learn tho step and measure of the German waltz.
