NOTES A fair sized audience of Negro women and girls were present at the monthly popular meeting at the Association rooms last Sunday and both heard and discussed the very instructive address on "Our Wayward Girls" by Mrs. Florence C. McFarland lady probation officer for Polk county; and it is to be gratified that more of the mothers of girls were not present for there were some startling facts brought out both in the address and in the discussion which followed relative to the conduct of some of our best(?) girls that proves that some of the mothers of this community are negligent in the duty toward their daughters. The Negro Woman as a Holdup. Every day or so we see in the daily papers where a white man has been held up and robbed by colored women, which in the opinion of the reading public places her in a class of the most dangerous of criminals. But the papers fail to state how these alleged holdups are committed as it would evidently show that two breaches against organized society is being committed for if these men would not seek the association of these lewd specimens of humanity these robberies would cease. I don't tolerate the actions of these women who walk the streets looking for easy marks, but why not in fairness to the colored people who are trying to lead upright lives, state the facts as they really are. The colored people are willing to aid in the prosecution of the criminal element of the race. But there must be co-operation on the part of the other races to check this evil. 229 West 3rd St. Near Walnut LUTHER H. S. BROWN, Proprietor and Manager.

Iowa State Bystander BYSTANDER PUB. GO., Publishers BIG MOINE. . . . . . IOWA Life is getting to be just one hot spell after another. One way to endure the heat is to think of pleasanter things. A good rule to apply is, the hotter the weather the simpler the life. That day on which a new aviation hero does not materialize need not be counted. Until we have an official national flower perhaps the Mayflower will have to do. With a microbe in every kiss how many narrow escapes do you suppose you have had? Was it not lucky that the dear women got rid of their rats before the hot wave came along? Some people do not believe in vacations. They needn't go to the school-boy for sympathy. With the wider use of bubbly fountains nearly everybody will learn to drink like a horse. A boy does not regard it as a hardship to have to take swimming lessons during his vacation. No objection can be raised to the coattail man unless he sheds his good manners with his coat. They are breaking the bathing records in Boston. Hot weather will drive people to anything. The fool that rocks the boat is with us in summertime, but the fool that precedes his auto is with us always. All society is now divided into two parts—those who have and those who have not been up in an aeroplane. One of the troubles about fly swaiting is that where one fly is swatted two more appear to plague the swatter. A newspaper devotes a page of type and pictures to showing how to manage a canoe. There is only one way. Walk. A Philadelphia man has just sold his automobile to get money to buy a home. Just to be different, we presume. What has become of all our American aviators? The foreign airmen are winning all the prizes and breaking all the necks. One weather expert says the world is growing warmer, but he listens in vain for applause. Bring on the prophet who says the world is growing colder. A man in California, saved from drowning, gave a dime to his rescuer. Hence, it is fair to conclude that no life of value to the world was saved to it. A good many of our citizens are anxious to know whether the complexion of the Panama canal will have any effect upon the price of Panama hats. Surgery has restored his reason to an insane man. Surgery does many wonderful things, but it has not reached the point whence it can restore his money to a bankrupt. One of the professors has been developing new kinds of potato bugs in order to prove the theory of evolution. Why not prove the theory with something that might become useful? A Boston woman started out to do a man's work—but it rained and her back hair came down. Catching a big fish caused one man to die of excitement. Perhaps you are lucky in that the big fish you hook always get away. Manager Chance has been hit on the head with pitched balls thirty-eight times, but that is not what makes him so great a manager. Some authorities hold that aviators are trespassers except over navigable waters. But no one can catch them in the act. A street car motorman has been arrested in New York for exceeding the speed limit. Of course, there did not happen to be a coal wagon in the track. A new operatic importation can sing in various languages, but speaks only Japanese. The accomplishment is of doubtful value, for it is at all times difficult to tell what tongue the grand opera star warbles with. One of the aviators has succeeded in sailing under the upper bridge at Niagara; but this is not likely to help any more than Blondin did when he walked on a rope across the gorge. A Boston teacher, who is retiring after a service of 40 years, advises young teachers to be the wise wire, and to rest their minds by filling a little. There is nothing aged or decrepit in this gingery advice, and it ought to remove the reproach of prunes and prisms from the Boston teacher's reputation forever. The proposition to turn all children into infant phenomenons is one which cannot be contemplated with any feeling. When child prodigies have developed naturally, as it were, society at large has shuddered, but a deliberate recipe for the wholesale production of these infant monsters of intelligence and learning is something at which the whole civilized world will rise in revolt. How would you like to be the foetus? MIBDLE WEST CROP 11 Loss 10 to 50 Per Cent In Corn According to Grain Dealers MONTHLY REPORT IS MADE Says Late Rains Have Been of Benefit Where Crops At One Time Promised To Be Total Des Moines.—Extreme heat and lack of rainfall has caused great damage to small grain and corn in the middle west, according to the monthly report issued by George A. Wells, secretary of the Western Grain Dealers' association. In Iowa, the southern section sends in the most discouraging crop reports as far as corn is concerned. Liberty-ville reports 40 per cent of the stalks barren, and the poorest prospects for a corn crop that have been evidenced for ten years. Early corn around Moulton is badly burned, and rain must come soon to save the late crop. South Eagle reports the height of the corn stalks are barren and that the corn crop will be below the average no matter how favorable the weather conditions. Red Oak, Wright and Malvern also report many barren stalks. Few encouraging reports are received from central Iowa. Around Des Moines the early corn will be damaged 30 per cent. The late corn promises to be a good crop. Fort Dodge reports slow development of ears and the need of immediate rain. Sac City, Adel and Dexter report poor corn. Better reports are sent from northern Iowa. Cherokee reports corn to the first class condition, with prospects of a healthy color and looks good in the neighborhood of Helmond. Fonda, Wesley and Akron report slight damage. No Fish For Iowa This Year. Des Moines.

PERKINS IS VICTOR FINANCIER AND STEEL COMMIT TEE PATCH TRUCE OVER TESTIMONY. CAMPAIGN FUNDS DROPPED Investigators Decide Not to Press Political Question—Corporation Who Refuse to Tell of Personal Contributions Win Point at Issue. Washington—George W. Perkins, director of the United States Steel corporation and former partner in J. Pierport Morgan & Co., was not cited for contempt before the bar of the house by the house committee of inquiry into the affairs of the steel corporation. Neither will he be. The committee decided at a turbulent executive session not to press questions relating to the management contributions. The inquiry into gifts of the New York Life Insurance company and the United States Steel corporation, it was said, was left in abeyance. The committee's decision not to press the inquiry into campaign contributions was based on the conclusion that the house resolution did not give authority to go into this subject. It was also the Representative committee of New York invited that committee would transcend its power. Several members of the committee asserted that Mr. Perkins had been freed only from answering the questions regarding his personal contributions and that the matter of the United States Steel corporation and the New York Life Insurance company campaign gift had not been decided finally. Mr. Stanley and Representatives Littleton and Sterling of the committee and Herbert Knox Smith, commissoner of corporations, had a conference with President Taft at the White House following the executive sessions. All refused to discuss the conference. Chairman Stanley and his associates, it was learned, had gone to the White House to ask the president to release the reports of the commissioner of corporations on the steel industry, with a view to getting at some of the information sought by the Inquiry. President Taft, as said, promised to give the committee all information in the possession of the bureau of corporations in regard to the steel trust which could be furnished within the law.

Senate Special Committee Flies Report Apparently Based on Haywood and McNamara Cases. Washington.—The process of "legal kidnapping," in the labor cases of Moyer, Haywood and McNamara, was condemned in a report presented by the senate select committee appointed to investigate the third degree methods of the police authorities of the United States. Senator Borah presented the report on behalf of the committee. The committee said the practice of hurrying accused men from one state to another without giving them an opportunity to be heard should be prevented by prohibiting extradition until after a lapse of a certain number of days or by some other effective plan. The only other recommendation was the cessation of "jury shadowing" by the secret service men. The inquiry did not extend to the police methods of the state or cities, the committee believing its jurisdiction did not include them. The condemnation of jury shadowing was based upon the committee's discovery that in important cases the department of justice authorized surveillance of jurymen to prevent their being tampered with. With this report condemned the practice of the government even though it be by the defense, because it is "liable to great abuse." The committee's comment on irregular extraditions evidently was based on the course pursued in removing Moyer and Haywood from Colorado to Idaho on the charge of murdering Governor Steunenberg and in getting McNamara from Indiana on the charge of destroying the Los Angeles Times building, but neither instance explicitly mentioned. They were spoken of as cases in which "no opportunity was offered to test the legality of the proceedings or the jurisdiction of the court granting judgment." COL. WILLIAM C. GREENE DEAD Former Copper Magnate Sucumbita to Acute Pneumonia Which Develops as Result of Accident. Cananea, Mex—Col.

His rise from a penniless prospector to directing genius of the Cananea copper camp was meteoric.

ROOSEVELT ON STAND DEFENDS SELF BEFORE STEEL INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE Asserts His Approval of Tennessee Iron Merger by Trust Averted Financial Panic. New York—Col. Theodore Roosevelt took the witness stand in the congressional inquiry into the United States Steel corporation to tell what he knew regarding the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the Steel corporation during the panic of 1907. Mr. Roosevelt read his statement from manuscript. "It was the utmost duty of the administration," he read, "to prevent by all means the spread of the panic before it became a disaster." The secretary of the treasury and he, Mr. Roosevelt said, were constantly in touch with the situation. During that time he learned that two members of the United Steel Corporation wished to see him in the morning. At breakfast the next day he was informed that E. H. Gary and H. C. Frick were waiting to see him. Mr. Bonaparte, then attorney general, he continued, had not yet arrived from Baltimore. "I sent a note to Secretary Root to come over," the former president read, "and he迎娶 at the White House. Mr. Roosevelt went on, going into details about the serious financial conditions in New York, and told how he had taken the responsibility to permit the transfer of the steel company, and did it on his own initiative. "It was necessary for me to act at once," said the former president, "before the stock exchange opened, or the transaction might prove useless." He said he was convinced that the question of the corporation of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company did not change the legal status of the corporation. TAFT PLEADS FOR TREATIES Wants Moral influence of Nation Used on Senators to Ratify Conventions of Nations. Mountain Lake Park, MD.-President Taft traveled 400 miles through Maryland and West Virginia by special train to appeal to the people of the United States to use their moral influence to have the senate ratify the British and French arbitration treaties. His appeal was made direct to the Mountain Lake Park Chautauqua of the Methodist Episcopal church, but in it the president included the rest of the nation as well. In making this plan for the Central American conventions, the president highly praised former President Roosevelt. He spoke of the tendency of the United States to extend their helping hand to less powerful people, and instanced Mr. Roosevelt's intervention in Cuba.

London. — London is in great peril of a foodstuff famine in the near few days unless some step is taken to prevent the tieup which has resulted from the great dock strike accompanied with frequent sharp collisions between the strikers and the police. The Combined Millers' Association of London has telegraphed the home secretary ask for protection for the stoking dock hands. The bread famine within the next three days is certain if present conditions prevail. London is practically without vans. Thirty thousand carters quit work and thousands more will join the life ones. All attempts to move wagons loaded with London's supplies of meat, fruit and provisions were stopped by the strikers, in many instances only after a fight with the police. There has been been a resurgence in the construction of supplies, the war en joining the men in preventing a replenishing of the markets where prices are nearing figures that are prohibitive for all but the well-to-do. The fish potters have joined the strike movement, and there was no one to unload the fish trawlers that arrived in the Thames. The wholesale prices of chilled beef have advanced seven to ten cents a pound since last Friday. The manager of one of the largest houses importing American beef says the price there will be the greatest beef families that this country has ever known. Tons of California pears, Tasmanian apples and French pears are rotting in their crates and Covent garden is almost without fruit. Practically no business was done on the corn exchange, as the sellers were unable to guarantee delivery. At a meeting of strikers at Tower Hill Benjamin Tillert, secretary of the Department of Riverside and General Workers' Union of Great Britain, announced that orders had been issued calling out every man of the port of London. The new order will increase the total of strikers to 100,000. SENATOR W. P. FRYE EXPIRES Veteran Maine Stateman Succumb to Heart Disease at His Home in Lewiston. Lewiston, Me.-United States Senator William Pierce Frye died at his home in this city from heart disease, aged eighty-one years. Senator Frye was dean of the United States senate.

All last winter he was ill, but went regularly to the senate and met every requirement of his work. The death of Senator Frye means that Maine will be represented in the United States senate by two Democrats. The governor of Maine is a Debrecat and he will appoint a man of his party to take the place, pending a meeting of the legislature, which is a Democratic body. Senator Frye's wife died about ten years ago. He leaves two grandchildren. ACTOR LOSES LIFE IN FIRE London Hostelery is Destroyed and Many Americans Have Narrow Escape From Death. London. — Fire and water ruined the beautiful Hotel Carlton, one of London's show places and the resort of the most fashionable English and American society. James R. Keene, the New Yorker, and Gov.

Kettner COPYRIGHT 1905, THE DOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY CHAPTER VIII—Continued. "All you've got to say, Mr. Dobba, is how glad you are that my baby is getting well, and then give your coat to Mary Ellen and go on to your work, rejoicing for me," said Miss Selina Lue, coming quickly to the rescue of the foundering condoler. "How did you all ever git the notion that things went against Blossom last night?" she asked. "We seen the doctor—and then you closed the front blinds—that's always a sign—and—"answered Mrs. Dobbs, who said that too bad for you all to be so upset about a mistake! And if here isn't all the Tynessee! Mercy, My Tynse, Blossom isn't dead nor likely to be, and, please, ma'm, take them black bombazine strips off the children's necks. It's so rough I'll rub 'em raw." Now, Mrs. Tynse was a person of one idea at a time, and her mind was set on a speech to go with the blisslooking star she tendered Miss Selina Lue, so it out came, regardless of the fact that it was not at all needed. "Miss Seliny Lue," she said with "real and practised emotion," "though she have gone from our sight and we must bury in the co-ld- cold ground, yet let us look up!" At the word "love" gave us a silastic silver, and at the word "up" she cast her eyes skyward, though the expression was in some degree marred by a scant caused by the rays of the morning sun striking her full in the face. "That's a real comforting thought, Miss Tyne, and I am thankful for the speech and the star, too. Bennie, honey, run all up and down the street and tell everybody Blossom is a heap better and they needn't get ready for no funeral." Now, you know there aren't a deal with the Bluff for four years, since Mr. Si Bradford's ma died, and we was preparing to attend a funeral as ever was for you, Miss Siline Luy, said Mrs. Kinney in a tone that might have been construed as reproachful. "Well, I wander say one thing; and it's that I am glad me and Blossom have found out how many friends we have while we are still alive and can precitate them all. It never did seem just right to hold back all the flowers and tears and white robes until peel'em and some where they can't enjoy 'em and some where they can actually about funeral sermons—look at it a corpse could heard all the praise spoke over them they mightger the ambition to go on living a spell longer. Lands alive, did you all know it's seven o'clock, and not a breakfast dish washed on the Bluff" Miss Siline Lue's call to duty sent them all hurryying in different directions. Mrs. Dobbs was slow in getting started, and as she descended the steps she would do declare I am uneasy about Ethel Miles and her nowhere this morning. I was杰 so sorrowful about your trouble I clean forget to worry." "Oh, Mis' Dobbs, honey, when I opened the door this morning at daybreak there was Ethel Maud scrouched down on the steps with nothing on but her nightgown, and a-mooning like something hurt. She shot past me into the room, and when she seen Blossom so much better she jetted down on the floor and cried herself to sleep plumb pitiful. Mr. Alan lifted her on the foot of the bed, and I added to Blossom atrs she will wake up and call me. Her little heart is that loving she watch even when she sleeps. she feel this morning than ever how we are all watched over in loving kindness that never sleeps and He aln't ever going to forget a single one of us. Ain't it a blessed thought, and perfecting and comforting in times of trouble? "That's true, Miss Selina Lue," answered Mrs. Dobbs thoughtfully. "We all an ouchter be mighty happy with so much good being done to us." "And ain't we? Why, it jest butters my bread of life with happiness. Look like some folks like ter swoller they bread dry, but you and want a little sprinkle of happy-sugar a top of ourn. How's Mr. Dobbs a holding-all." He isn't cussed a word since our trip. Miss Selina Lue. Sometimes I see him jett-sawing the swarms and "Don't notice it, Mary Ellen. Just hold to the thought that he ain't gawing tar do it no more, and that'll help—" "But look yonder, Miss Sellina Lue. Aln't--that--cute?" And Mrs. Dobbs turned Miss Sellina Lue around bodily, Miss Carrolla stands in the grocery door. She giggles and wobbling, and he stood his ground determinedly--alone. One JE "Jest Hold to the Thought of His Fergiveness, and Don't Never Give It Up." faming look at the back of his head rose, straight up with excitement, and he stretched his hand and ducked his head to Miss Sina Lue in evidence triumph ever his achievement. "I just can't a bear to look at her," he said. A mother cared for her baby take his first steps, and poor Mis' Flairity is—" Miss Sina Lue faltered as she started toward the totering baby. "Pick him up quick," answered Mrs. Dobbs. "They ain't nobody in the world got a better right to any baby's steps than you has, Miss Sina Lue." CHAPTER IX. Smiling Through Tears. "Looks like a man must think his own life have been a grand success if he goes to a-directing of his son's." --Miss Selina Lue. "Blossom," said Miss Selina Lue, as she seated herself in the grocery door for breathing spell after all the Bluff had been discussed, bought, paid for, and stored on their ways to the different pots. "women oughter think up something different on in a while to feed to they families. The Dobbs have had bollable cabbage for dinner now four months hand-running, and the Kinneys have et so many fried eggs that I begin to look for the children to show pin-feathers. If I was a tending to a husband, I would feel like it was kinder disrespectful to his stomik to offer it the same truck every day and Sunday too." Blossom looked up from the china doll she was busily licking with her red tongue in a sudden access of affection. The Blossom was once more abloom and abob with enthusiasm. "If the men folks have to they lives into making of the money to live on, looks like the women oughter put a little common sense and elbow gouge into helping 'em get "Jest Hold to the Thought of His Fe It. U some comfort outfit it as they go 'long. Instead of stretching a dollar some, most of 'em handle it so keerless it shrinks up to fifty cents before it buys anything. Why, honey-bunch, wherever did you come from? I didn't see you up the Hill." And Miss Selina Lue's face fairly beamed on Miss Cynthia, who came in from the back of the store. "I came down the path and through the garden," answered Miss Cynthia. "Well, I hope you noticed how fine the dress is. There never was such a digger as Mr. Alan before. Now, winter beets, couldn't you tell he had been a hooing of 'em faithful." "Yes," answered Miss Cynthia with a shy smile that she hid in the back of Blossom's neck, "they look like his artistic work." "Well, you ain't so far wrong," answered Miss Selina Lue with an admiring glance at the soft blush behind Blossom's curls. "If a man have got it inside him to do one kind of work big, everything else in him have got to measure up to it; and with Mr. Alan it do, pictures and beets." "You like his pictures as much as I do, Miss Selina Lue," said Miss Cynthia, her eyes shining with excitement at the moment of the treasure in the barn. "Child, they pictures feed me. Looks like all my life I've been living on the plain every day eating of things and he have handed me a plate of chalk-roos fry my spirit." "I wish he could hear from the three he sent on to Chicago. They ought to be mounted and on the guild hall walls by this time." Miss Cynthia's voice was impatient for she knew how long she had to request a great commission, and for the very special reason, which she also knew. "Miss Cynthia, honey, don't you git impatient about the letter, too. Don't never fergit that it is the man's part to champ the bit, but a woman must pull at life steady-like. There's the postman now; run, child, run!" And directly in the face of her wives counsel for serenity, Miss Selina Lue hurried after Miss Cynthia's flying figure. "Oh," said Miss Cynthia as she stood with a letter clasped to her breast, "here it is, Miss Selina Lue, here it! What do you suppose is in it?" Honey, I know what he is a-hoping fer, though not letting himself expect it may have worked out that the men to build the big hall, he have jest got his heart set on his seeing the pictures—and forgiving him for painting "em."

"Yes, I remember you told me about them 'waves' when I held to it that Mr. Khrenwould come on back from town that time he got mad and tried to leave his family. Though you explained it fine at all and I jest kept on a-praying—old-fashioned prayers with a fancy label on 'em. They are jests in Moses—Lands alive, what's the trouble over at the Dobbs now!" A shrill shriek rose from the interior of the Dobbs residence a few houses up the street, which was followed by a quick exclamation, at which Ethel Maud shot out of the front door, wrigled over the gate, and darted through a cloud of white smoke, body bodily into Miss Selina Lue's lisp. "They aren't a thing in the world the matter with her, Miss Selina Lue," called the mother from the front window. "She burned her fingers a-lifting hot ginger-cake from the pan while my back were turned. She muster thought she deserved a smack, fer she cut and run to you 'fore I am gone.'" "Ethel Maud," said Miss Selina Lue sternly, as she lifted the toucheled head out of her skirts, "go right back and ask your mother can you have that piece of cake before you eat one mouthful. Then you can bring another piece for me and Miss Cynthia and one to divide with the bables. She always put me and the bables' names in her cake bowl, "Miss Selina Lue dropped her hand and tried to apologize and forage." "Mary Ellen makes her cake and like she lives orgliveness, and Don't Never Give Up." --kinder haphaard--but it comes out all right, mostly from being mixed with stich good intentions," Miss Sellina Lue further remarked, just before Ethel马尔 returned with three generous slices on a futed china plate of amazing design. "Miss Sellina Lue, may I take part in the generous river bank—he's sketching and I promised—" "Take the plate, child, and two pieces. Miss Dobbs will admire to send it to him. One's more enough for the babies and me. And, Miss Cynthie, don't never hold back from feeding men little attention, even if they dumb about showing as they like'em. Too many women treats husbands like hitching-posts. Now, hurry while it's hot." And Miss Sellina she also shamed Miss Cynthia on her to trust. "Now," she said, "I must git to my—" "Miss Sellina Lue, come look what's coming up the hill! Come quick!" called Bennie Dobbs from the street, his face shining with excitement until the freckles fairly stood on the surface. "Lands alive!" said Miss Sellina Lue as she were out to the middle of the street, "Oh, if she's a blire! From the way the poor thing's breathing looks like it might be going to stal. They hadn't oughter push the critter up that hill, it's too steep for anything but a squirrel or a troley-car to climb. Run, Bunnie, and ask him if he would like us to bring our clothes-and help him a bit." But as she spoke, the huge red machine gave a puff, pulled over the brow of the tree and stopped with a shudder of groan. TO BE CONDURED. Miniature Specialization. A young medical student, was being quizzed by one of his teachers: "In what will you specialize?" he was asked. "Disease of the nostril," replied the student. "Good," said the professor, enthusiastically. "Which nostril?" POETRY of and by Our People Ringle, jingle goes the bell.

It's easy to laugh when the skies are blue A blue run is shining bright: Yes, easy to laugh when your friends are true And there's happiness in sight: But when Hope has fled and the skies are gray And the friends of the past have turned away, Ah, she indulged it a hero's feat To conjure a smile in the face of defeat. It's easy to laugh when the storm is oer, And your ship is safe in port: Yes, easy to laugh when you're on the shore, Sees the tempest's sport: But when wild waves wash over the storm-swept deck And your gallant ship is a battered woman, Ah, that is the time when it's well worth while To look in the face of defeat with a smile. It's easy to laugh when the battle's right And you know that the victory's won: Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you win Is yours when the race is run: But here's to the man who can laugh when the blast Of adversity blows. He will conquer at least For the hardest man in the world to beat Is the man who can laugh in the face of defeat. —Selected. A FEW THOUGHTS. If no one read our papers But just some certain folk I'd write a little article That wouldn't be a joke. But as our papers are popular And go from town to town. If one woman remarks And put the pencil down. Now why don't some these people That have so much to say Anybody, anybody, anybody Come out and spend a day. They would find that there's a difference In talking in the shade Than hoeing corn and cotton And transplanting tater blades. Of course it might be easy To say "Go to the Farm" But where's the fertilizer? And how about the ground? We've waited for the longest To come out in the country If you think its any joke. But we've noticed you're clever It's much nicer in the shade Than hoeing corn in the shade Or transplanting tater blades. — Lizzie Hopkins Lewis. THE FIRST LOVE. Vividly now come to mind Youthful joys not far behind; When my thoughts of love were pure Sense had taught me then to choose Jessie Bell as like a rose— As my future bride and wife 'Oer my kingdom, 'Oer my life.' Early in our biblical prime, Grace our love that good time Begins, and we start Winning her, I thought was sure; Hence I struggled with my art And I started Well the business of my life— Then to call her as my wife. Years of happy days we saw Yielding joys without a flaw, Till an envious fate to love Sure I could move Just to move dear Jessie Bell, Whom I loved so truly well, In a land I know not where— Sure I cannot reach her. I am P. Magwood. POSSIBILITY. Earnestly what we desire, Truthfully what we admire, Nature can cure our pain, By enduring care and pain. Sure God delights to see, Every soul sincerely be, Striving for a worthy prize Then in life to higher rise. Failures come when faith we lack, Striving in light but never track What light might be better than Nothing reigns, inspirive life's sail. Alms not of motives true, Deeds too great we cannot do; Yet the wisest ones for man Throng the paths he daily scan. Awarded. There is no use giving you a check, my dear. My bank account is overdrawn." "Well, give it to me anyway, George. And, say, make it for $600.

The world's oldest map is a mosaic in a church in Palestine, which was made more than 1,700 years ago. --- A warm negligence of outing flannel or elderdress should be provided, for nights in camp are cold. Many women habitually wear pajamas of outing flannel while in camp. In contrast with the pictureque and informal toga of the camper is the correct conventional garb of the man who delights in harshexed exercise. While summer riding habitats are much less formal in style than those deemed correct for park wear in town, the riding habit must always have a suggestion of conventionality. It is amusing to read about the riding habitats worn in the early part of the nineteenth century—not so long ago, when one comes to think of it. A lady of the 50's swept down the steps toward her steed habited in a trailing gown of bright green cloth, probably embroidered on bodice and skirt and jauntly trimmed with frogs of black cord. The skirt of this green habit was attached to a pointed basque by means of multitudinous gathers. On the lady's elaborate chignon, confined for the exercise under a bead-embroidered net, was perched a tall bearer hat from several yards of white welling. What contrast between this costume and the trim, correct habit of the feminine rider today, who wears a most simple but perfectly cut and tailored coat and skirt, guiltless of any trimming, a snug, smooth colfure, above which is a smart little derby or a mannish straw sailor! Summer riding habits of gray linen crash, with white sail hats and white buckskin gloves, are particularly attractive and appropriate for country wear. The linen habits also are liked for out-of-town riding, and the skirt is cut so that when the rider stands it is merely a smartly-shaped skirt. The coat of the riding habit may be dispensed with on very warm days, but the shirtwalst must be faultlessly mannish in every detail. No such thing as a boned stock, fujibay or elbow sleeve is permitted. A correct habit for cross saddle riding is illustrated. More and more women are adopting this style of riding, especially in the country, but special care must be given to ensure that it may be absolutely correct and not approach the bizarre in any particular. The habit pictured includes a stunning coat of checked worsted which falls just over the tops of the leather puttees or riding leggins. Beneath the coat are riding brecches as faultlessly shaped and tallored as the coat, and which buckle over the knee above the leather puttees. The skirt is fitted with a midsection stock at the throat. The gloves are heavy white buckskin and the hat is a new mannish sailor of the black straw. After all, there is nothing like a sailor for summer wear. Each season the sailor crops out again, sometimes in one shape and sometimes in another, but always our old friend, the sailor. This year simple, mannish sailors with rather wide brims and a moderately high crown are the approved style, and these hats come in a variety of colors from less and a dollar up to seven or eight. The woman who buys a sailor at all should buy a good one, for though all sailor shapes may seem much alike at the beginning of the season, it is only the high-priced models that are distinctive and correct looking as soon as the sailor begins to appear on every other woman one meets. Women, as a rule, do not take trouble in selecting a sailor hat to see that it is properly fitted to the head—and absurd and distressing to the neck and shoulders. The woman between thirty and forty may wear a sailor of good quality provided every detail of her costume is tailored, trim and in keeping with the mannish style of headgear. The coiffure, too, must match the sailor. SUMMER HANDBAGS. In handbags the tendency is still toward medium sizes, with a decided preference for the thin or flat models. Bags of greater width than depth, made over plain metal frames, are types well liked. Washbags are made of plaque, linen and similar materials. Those of linen stamped for embroidering are shown in innumerable varieties and in artistic arts and crafts designs. They are easy to work, take little time and are decidedly practical. A bag of natural color linen crush, embroidered with a plain design, is formed of an excellent quality cord, which continues down the sides of the bag, providing an excellent finish. Another of white linen crush was in the form of a pocket with a buttoned-over flap, and embroidered in vivid Bulgarian colors, and had a pretty braided cord handle. The same could be made in all white embroidery. The old-fashioned garden bouquet in gayet on a simple linen bag and done in cross-stitch marks the revival of an ancient idea in design and of a stitch that for many years has been considered more or less of the past. The cream color of the linen bag is used to lead an effect to work which might otherwise be too gay in color. Reds, blues and yellows melt into the creamy tones as they would not union white. CHOCOLATE JELLY. Chocolate jelly is a delicious dessert. It requires a plint of milk, a half pint of cream, half a cupful of melted chocolate, half a plint of sugar and three liberal tablepouffels of gelatin. Boll the milk and cream together for a moment or two and mix the sugar and chocolate together. Thin the latter mixture with a little of the boiled milk and cream, then stir them into it. Beat well to prevent lumps, bolt for five minutes, and the gelatin malt The card handle in itself is fascinating in its durability, being hand twisted and knotted from many strands of coarse ravelings pulled through the material like the bag. A very pretty bag was crocheted from a coarse white silk and lined with white silk, tiny crocheted halls being attached to the ends of the crocheted cord handle. The smart Persian bags, so popular this season, can be fashioned by the skillful girl. The foundation is composed of gold satin, on which is embroidered an elaborate pattern, thickly covered with tiny beads and colored silks, which should match or contrast well with the color of one's gown. The lower edge of the bag should be finished with a row of head tassels, combining the silk and the gold from the skirt, and the bag suspends from the shoulder by long, thick cords. Dalnity bags on the small order are made of wide pompadour ribbon, with a small handle made from several strings of white or colored beads. A PLEA. FOR CHILDREN. In selecting a flat or an apartment, where a limited amount of money can be expended for rent, and where children must enter into the consideration, it is well to remember that some conveniences can be sacrificed in order to live near a park or a playground. Young muscles must stretch themselves, otherwise they become cramped and the effervescent child is more likely to be in an unfamiliar place, as it should in open air and activity. Sometimes it is necessary to live farther out of town than comfort allows in order to secure this necessity to the child. Often the little modern housewife must give place to the playground, but no good mother considers the sacrifice too great when she looks at the tanned, healthy face and well developed body of the child who is allowed the normal pleasures of childhood. Work may be calling insistently in the home, but try to close your ears to the call and listen instead to the plea of your sturdy son or your daughter, who roars in her cheer. Take them for a play hour in the park or at the playground. Such innocent recreation is food for the less mind and body. There will be less cause for the doctor's phils every time they play safely and surely in the open air. DAINTY BREAKFAST CAPS. The dainty breakfast cap has certainly come back into fashion for a long stay, judging from its popularity and from the variety of styles in which it is made. There are those of mob cap shape made of thin silk or flowered ribbon, with the lace or footing frills, and those of sheer batten, allover dart or dotted nets made of ribbon, with big rosettes of ribbon at the sides. The latest hat is to use lace handkerchiefs, line them with delicate colored silks and use artificial silk roses at the sides in place of the ribbon rosettes. If the handkerchief happens to be square the corners are caught up over the shirring or looped under while the round handkerchief's lace frill is kept up by a layer of caps have just a wreath of a single French roses caught to the shirring with a little bunch at either side. VEAL LOAF: This is a specially savory dish for picnics or lawn teas. Mince three pounds of raw, lean veal and a quarter pound of nice fat pork. Season the meat with half an onion grated fine, a level tablespoonful of mixed powdered thyme, summer savory and sweet marjoram, a tablespoonful of paper and a tablespoonful of minced parsley. Now add two-thirds of a cup of cracker crumbs, a half cup of veal gravy, the yolk of one egg and the whites of two eggs beaten together. Form into a compact loaf, roll in the yolks of two eggs, then in fine slifted crumbs, on a rack in the pan and begin the bread from a bowl of boiling water in the pan and baste often. Bake about two hours and when cold, slice thin. THE WELL GROOMED WOMAN. Never to put away clothes unbrushed or unfolded nor forget to place the trees in boots and shoes when taken off; to pull and straighten out gloves; to roll veils carefully; never to sit about in a walking dress indoors; to keep gowns and hats, when not in use, away from strong sunlight, are only a part of the general scheme of economy practiced by the woman in every walk of life. She is nothing if not feminine, and if her clothes should ever escape all that is trim and dainty, then her costume falls wide of her intention. Underneath it all there may be a "method in the madness," for every centime is made to go as far as human means will compass. Clothes are looked upon as investments. The interest of which will have to pay as long as possible and the principal to be literally turned over and over until there is absolutely nothing left. ed and remove instantly from the fire. Strain and set where it will become cold, turn out of its mold and serve with cream. CHERRY PARFAIT. Add one cup of cherry pulp to two cups of thick whipped cream and a quarter of a cup of cherries. Flavor with a few drops of almond extract. Put in a mold, bury in the ice and salt. Garnish with canned d cherries. ```markdown ``` The Passing of Fifty Years Since Wilson Creek FIRST IOWA REGIMENT MEET Capt. J. S. Clark, of Des Moines, President of Regimental Association, Makes Response to Address of Welcome. Keokuh, Aug. 11.—The passing of fifty years since the battle of Wilson's Creek was celebrated here at the opening of the reunion of the First Iowa regiment.

And we are reminded of that glorious day, when, as high headed, proud young soldiers, with muskets on our shoulders, we marched away to war, followed by the tearful goodbyes and prayers and blessings of your people. That was an epoch in our lives, and this reunion is in memory of that time. "We went from here that day at 21 (our average age) full of hope and ambition; we return today at a time of work, our hopes and ambition only realized, with no peace in America, but treaties of permanent peace being made and signed by the great powers of the earth."

Iowa leads in cattle, dairy and beef breeds, for every farm in the state supplies some additions to the list. In recent years there has been an immense increase in the number of pure bred dairy cattle, for the dairymen are coming to realize that only the best give profits such as they would like. One great influence in this direction has been the annual State Fair, where liberal prizes are offered for cattle, and where the finest dairy and beef herds of the country are shown. The cattle exhibit at the State Fair has no rival in the country. Iowa Fish and Games The Iowa fish and game department is planning to again show at the State Fair a great exhibit of game birds and water fowl. The exhibit last year was visited by thousands and the birds were rent all over the state, as a result, and this year 10,000 birds will be shown at once. a State Fair, last week of August.
