without much success I offer you my fortune Sba said OIre me an option On your for ninety The getting shorter a few minutes each day Now and then the thought comes over one as the beau goldenrod begins to show signs of blossoming an the begin to gath er in flocks that summer is wane although September weather sometimes astonishes Iowa dwellers with as fierce heat as the long days of June can furnish Iowa looks as fairand ver dant today thanks to our numerous ae she did with her fresh and new June robes garlanded hero and there with wild flowers Sometime when you desire to see a picture of na tures own painting watch from one of the Crocker Woods hills an August sun set when the skies are mellow with a few fleecy clouds to coloring ana tintings to the picture Turning to the east your eves will meet domo of the capitol pillowed as it werein tbe purple yellow and crimson billowy clouds To tue it may be clouds of a sombre hue To the south glinting of gold ami purple blending with the deep blue of the sky Slowly slowly sinks the god of day The western sky flecked with clouds ia all aflame as are tbe tree tops where golden shim mering flumes touch their quivering leaves Now dipping beneath the hori zon golden scintillations of light shoot upward toward all points of the compass slowly dying in brilliancy as the sun sinks lower But look what a change has come over the eastern northern and southern sky Clouds which smiled be fore are frowning in blackness now The golden dome of the capitol kissed in brightness by a mo ment ago has dull copper color BB if in anger The tints in the west are fading and linger as if they fain would continue the beauteous picture but one by one yield to the inevitable fade out of sight and blackness of the coming night There is one glory of eun another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars for one star differeth from another star IP glory The question of parks seems to be very nearly settled to of some and disgruntlement of others The se lections so far have given parks to var localities perhaps not aa large as needed but large enough for the present city In the future no doubt but larger parks will be selected as funds can be spared Some of the property selected is very valuable and will become more BO ae our city grows older There is an excellent opportunity for some enter prising men to erect an immense audito rium at or near one of these nearest parks for great meetings conventions and also a shelter for visitors in case of u my wile an opportunity to mar storms It 15 said that the location of ry respectably II anything should hsp these narks will in an ma ttm r r these parks will in measure late real establish some bound Briea for assessing values on real in their vicinities At all events the public will be glad when the matter is settled beyond a doubt as it will be very eoon A large tract of ground three or four mites from the center of the city will not serve tile public generally as well as parks nearer tbe center There will no doubt in time be a large park on tbe river That land is not liable to be buill up right away and may remain in ita present elate for some time to come When Des geta to using the parks freely they will eee the beau ty and benefit of them and clamor for more and our commissioners will grati fy them if in the bounds of At present let us be thankful for what already has been done great cost of time and patience by Messrs Rollins and Men work for the good of the public without money and without price generally get more kicks than pats on the shoulder But that is the way of the world it seems They have done their work very well not to please everybody probably expectations will be fully realized Rer Mr Terrell of Fort Dodae has re signed his position as a minister in fa vor of fast horses or rather as B having given a decision which did not accord with the ideas of a banker in that city There are some things in which poor human nature is apt to err Ibe weight of a fish of big own catching or time his own horse makes on the These will often pull him further from Ibe kingdom fhan tbe his five yoke of oxen or by being quarantined by having married a wife all there is no more reason why a minis ter should not own i fast stepper and speed him on proper occasions than to own a lino Jersey cow and milk her three times a day if he wishes But then here ia the difficulty Suppose he should spend all his available time in speeding his horse guiding his congregation or preach horsey ser mons and could not be held in bv hit or bridle Or on other hand sup pose ho should spend too much lime itb his cow and wager on the in he ghost dance nearly always wear n headdress and It behoove east clli to become equally decorous ties of lacteal fluid was capable of producing and not give the milk of un man place in there would be trouble There is no end of vexation of spirit to a minister a school teacher or a candidate for office on any ticket he may select Some one was speaking of tho moral courage of a man in England who stood by his wife through thick and thin even when she was proven guilty of lar ceny and perjury That was only one instance coming to public no tice No doubt there such cases here na well as in the old country But what of the quiet heroines stand daily by the shle at husbands who have last caste and popularity with the public and who instead of loosing at the real for it blame the world and lapse into brutal indifference as regards the claim has upon them The woman true lo her maternal in for the sake of her children bears tbe pinching of a husbands moroseness with an aching heart but with smiling face They ten the late heated term battling with heat and flies in hot rooms own work and keeping their little flocks of children in a respectable condition themselves outwardly calm and cheerful but inwardly feeling deeply Hie Injustice of being left to struggle al most alone and single hand with a cruel fate Heroines Yes us truly as ever fagot or axe in tbe bloody history of the old world When the world shall oe judged ami rewards bestowed for and unselfish deeds it will not se tho f retentions or those whose names have been lauded to the skies as heroes ind heroines to be crowned with laurels jy tbe world but the unobtrusive self sacrificing ones who faced duty amid difficult surroundings and snatched vic tory from of defeat and death Men sometimes in admiring a stately forest tree are often trampling over tie obscure and violets there lived in this city a gentleman who

an opportunity to pen to me first She has been a good wife and it would make mo uneasy to koow that she was being passed over by some good fellow in search of a home just for tbe lack of a few

the more reason for our people to stand firm for them even at a slight loss ly This statement holds good for every other institution which is struggling with close competition Let our home institutions be carefully guarded and cherished They mean much to Dea Moines and her prosperity There is a tendency on tho part of soniR of our cit to play Chicago and St Louis against goods made here and buy for eign goods rather than those made at home but it is hoped that this is not so to any great extent A can never be built up quickly and substantially ex cept by a strong pull all We should very carefully consider this question and when foreign come around have only one answer to give them We buy DCS goods only They are as cheap and as good as yours and we ara here lo build up our Last Sunday was nearly perfect so far as weather was concerned and near ly everyone who could get away in tho was out in the woods by the river or in some of the park locations The Des Moines street railway did a thriving business all day though the husband was to have in addi tion to the widow This is certainly very thoughtful and 13 entirely too gen erous to become a general practice It is to hoped that there will Iw no sion for striving after that hundred thousand for many years to come In Kmie instances if ths practice became general the money would be the greater attraction Mr Potter

Chicago papers of lake bathing priv by the people who seem to have no such facilities in their own homes The sight of naked bathers on the lake front during the late healed terra has given some of the
