Miss Brooks: I'm the lonesomest girl in the United Statm t,' Just because I cant win the affection of ai nice young gentleman who live thirty miles' away. He earns to care for me at one tUnol and then again he acts just the opposite. Do you think it would be wise for mo to-tr- y to win his affections, nnd how can 1 doj it! Hq makes me promise not to go with otb er fellows, which I do, bat be step out wtthl other girls. So, dear Miss Brooks, I'd be; tickled to death for information leading mo; to how to- - win his affection. With oodloa-o- f love nnd many thanks.

Now lets se about thb nice yoangj H b an unselfish sort, bntl gentleman. he, to exact a promise from yoa not to go. out with other nice young rentleman! Why I not get him to make a similar promise Now my dexr, no doubt you think his affection b worth winninr. and if so, lot! me rive yon a bit of advice. Step oat with! the nicest young man yoa know and when, your friend thirty miles away finds out you! do not intend to be his slave, he will make, up, and if he has the least particle ef affection for you he will de quite differently from; the way he has been doing, I am sure. Do not for a moment think yoa can win any man's affection by becoming his slave and, he'ng meek end submissive t ell his wishes. And now let me whisper another bit ef ad, vice to you: A selfish' man make a most! ansatisfactory husband, so when you fall ins love select one who can give a little thought! to you instead of himself nr Tsar qamtion la interesting indeed.

Thera were many, very many, Interesting Incidents that went to make up the history of these pioneer days In Iowa that are covered by Mr. Qfllck In Vandemark's Folly, but one of the moat Intesestlng Is that dealing with the treatment of The local newspaper. In an effort to secure an advantage for Its political clique had In those early days referred to Cow Vandemark as a man with a criminal tecord," and In later days In refuting the state-men- t he tells the story of the "claim-jumpeas follows, in part: claim-juniper- s. rs The story grew out of my Joining the Settlers 1856. The rage for land speculation was Sweeping over Iowa like a prairie lire, getting things ready for the. greet panic of 1857 that I have read of since, but of which 1 never heard Util long after It was over. All I knew was that there was a great fever for buying and selling land and laying out and booming town-site- s the sites, not the towns and that afterward times were vry hard. The speculators bad bought up a good part of Monterey county by the and of 1856, an.l had run the price up as high as three dollars and a half an acre. - i This made It hard for men who come In expecting to get it for a dollar and a quarter, and a number of settlers In the township, as they did .over the state, went on their land on relying the right to buy It when they could get the money what was called the right. I could me the houses of William Trtckey, Kbenezer Jun-kin- a and Absalom Frost from my house; and I knew that Peter and Amos Bemladarfer and Flavius Bohn, Dunkards from Pennsylvania, had located farther south. All these settlers were located south of Htii Slew, which was to be known now, and was afterward putcoming down an the map, as Vandemark's Folly Marsh. And now there came into the county oud plate class of oks called who pushed In on the claims of the first comers, and stood randy to buy their new homes right out from aadar them. It was pretty hard on us who had poabed on ahead of the railways, and soaked In the rain and firosen In the blizzards, and lived on moldy bacon and hulled corn, to lose our chance tn get title to the lands we had broken un and dub in n claim-jumper- built on. , My land was paid for, such as it was; but when the people who, like me, hud trailed out across the prairies with the last years rush, came and asked me to Join the Settlers club to run these Intruders off, It appeared to roe that it was ouly a man's part In me to stand to It and take hold ai4 do. . . I did not look forward to all the doings of the Settlers' club, but I Joined It, and I have never bam ashamed of It, even when Dick McGill was alangwhanging roe about what we did. I never kaaar, and 1 don't know now. Just what the law was, but I thought then, and I think now, that the Settlers club had the right of It 1 thought so the r Bight we went over to run the off Absalom Frost's land, within a week of my joining. it was over on Section Twenty-seven- , that the !telm-jumphad built s hut about where the schoolbouse aow to, with a stable In one end of tt. and a dea In which to live la the other.

Kick the door open, Dutchyl" As he said this he stepped aside, and pushed me up to the door. I gave It a puah with my knee, and. the leader Jerked me aside. Just In time to let a charge of shot pass my head. It's only a single-barrGrab gun, said he. him I I was scared by the report of the gun, scared and mad, too, as I clinched with the fellow, and threw him; then I pitched him out of the door, when the rest of them threw him down and began stripping him. At the same time, some one kindled s lire under a kettle filled with tar, and In a few minutes, they were smearing him with it This looked like going too far, to me, and I stepped back I couldnt stand It to see the tar smeared over his face, even If It did look like s map of the devils wild land, as he kicked and scratched and tried to bite, swearing all the time like a pirate. It seemed s degrading kind of thing to defile a human being In that way. The leader come up to me and said, "That was good work, Dutchy. Lncky I was right about Its beaint it? Help get his team ing s single-barre- l, bitched up We want to see him well started. 1 All right. Mr. McGill, said; for that was his name, now first told in all the history of the ' county.

I was feelSection Thirty-fiv- e because of tbo memory ing rather wimble-croppeof that poor fellow with the tar in his eyes but I went all the same. McGill pounded on the door. Come cut, he shouted. Youve got company p There waa a scrambling and hustling around In the shanty, and low talking, and some one asked who was there ; to which McGilt replied for them to come out and see. 'Pretty soon, a little doddering figure of a man came to the door, pulling on his breeches with trembling hands as he stepped, barefooted, on the bare ground which came right up to the door-sil-l. Whats wanted, gentlemen?" he quavered. "1 caln't ask you to come In Jlst ylt. Whats wanted P He bad not said two words when 1 knew him for Old Man Fewkes, whom I had last seea back on the road west of Dyers vllle, on his way to Where was Ma Fewkes, and where Negosha. were Celebrate Fourth and Surnjah Dowlnb? And where, most emphatically, where was Rowenal I stepped forward at McGill's side. Sorely.

McGill. hard-workin- There's some of em runnin away I" yelled one Catch enfP of the crowd. There was a flight through the grass from tha back of the shanty, a rush of pursuit, some feeble yells Jerked Into bits by rough handling, and presently, Celebrate and Surajah were dragged Into tbe circle of light. Just as poor Ma Fewkes, with her shoulder-blade- s drawn almost together came forward and tried to tear from her poor old husband's arm the hand of an old neighbor of mine whose name I wont mention even at this late day. . . Say, said s man who had all the time sat In one of tbe wagons, holding the horses. Youd better leave out the stripping, boys P ' They began dragging the boys and the old mao toward the and McGill, with his hat drawn down over his eyes, went to tbe slimy mass and dipped Into It a wooden paddle with which they had been stirring It. Taking as mucl. on It as It would carry, he made as If to smear It over the old roans head and beard. I conld not stand this the poor harmless old coot I and I ran up and struck McGill'S arm. What In hell, he yelled, for some of the tar went oo him, do you meant Dont tar and feather em," I begged. I know these folks.' They are a poor wandering family, without money enough to boy land away from any one. .We Jlst thought wed kind o settle down." sal Old Man Fewkes whimperingly ; nnd Ive got th money promised me to buy this land. So Its all ' right and straight!" The silly old lentherhead didn't know he waa doing anything against public sentiment ; and told tbe very thing that made a case against him. 1 have found out since who the' man was that promised him the money and was going to tak the land, but that was Just one circumstance I., the land craze, and the man himself was wound j at Fort Donelson, and died In hospital so I won tell his name. Tfe point Is, that the old man kaR turned the jury against me Just as I bad finished my plea. You have got the money promised you, have Grub him, boys! you? repeated McGill. tar-kettl- e, I clinched with our man, and getting a rolling hlplock on him, I whirled him over my head, as I had done with so many wrestling opisuieiils, and he went head over, letting him go In mid-aiheels, and struck ten feet away on the ground. Then 1 turned on and with the flat of tuy hand, I slapped him over against the shanty, with his ears ringing. They were coming at me In an undecided way; for my onset Imd been both sud den and unexpected ; when I saw Rebecca run nlng from the rear with a shotgun In her hand which she had picked up as It leaned against r wagon wheel where one of our crowd hod left It Stand buck! she screamed. Stand back, w j Ill blow somebody's head off!" 1 heard a chuckling laugh from a man sltt'iyj j tn one of the wagons, and a word or two ftn him that sounded like, Good glrip Our tittle mob fell back, the man I had thrown limping, and Dick McGill rubbing the side of Ms bead. The dawn was now broadening In the euet. and It was getting almost light .enough so that, faces might be recognized; end one or two of the crowd began to retreat toward the wagons. 1'U see to lt, said I, that these penile wlil leave this land, sad give up their settlement m I It. r, mg Failin' Enroll for haaasra or athor ssrsndsry When as barer fit for display tha flag aid ho dcatrayad privately.
