WINNING SUCCESS.
How Any Healthy Man Can Hew Out a
Fortune on a Farm.


There are thousands of mechanics,
laborers and farmers who are poor,
and many of them suffering for some
of the necessaries of life, who are so
from their own fault. not for want of
opportunity or the frowns of PrOvi-
dence. 1t is not luck. 1t is because
they will not work, and economic and
save. In every township and in nearly
every neighborhood in Iowa can be
found men and families in good circum-
stances who a few ago years had moth
ing, except an honest determination to
win success. The writer can count up
any time dozen men who are worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 who came to
him years ago with empty hands to
work by the month on the farm. They
were inspired with the true ideas of
living and prospering, and some of
them now are tainted by their shiftless
neighbors as oppressive capitalists.
We care not how cruel some may con-
slider the remark, but when you see
men with families starving themselves
on rented farm for n score of years,
it is safe to class them as poor whito
trash, who deserve no better fate.
There are better things for them if
they will only win them. And any
person can do so. But not by spend
ing more than they earn, not by loaf
ing in town. in fishing and hunting
in idle visiting-not in selling u calf
when it should be raised to q noble
beef
Our patience is frequently aroused
when we reflect how many thousands
all about - are in poverty and who
probably imagine Providence is against
them aud that they are the unfortunate
subjects Il bad luck. when in fact it is
their OWL perversity. 1t is not luck,
but unthrft and laziness. Any man
with health can hew out a fortune by
hard working, vigorous enterprise.
Look at this taken from an exchange:
Nelson Crane, Jr, of Union township, this
county, or Little Dick" as he is Familiarity
called commenced farming nine years ago. He
was in debt for his land had no horse and no
money, but he bought on credit two old mares
for $50. He has sold at different times $1,000
worth of horses, has paid the debt on his land,
has good house, stables, etc, and at his sale
on the 21st sold over ECO worth of property,
Of which 1886 was horses to-wit; one six-year-
old-mare, S2l0; one eight-yearo mare, S239.50;
one four-year-old mare, S247 one two-year-
old-mare. $3.50; one yearling flly, s93; one
yearling FLY, 800.
This is not luck, but industry,
economy, with an unwavering deter
mination to win, and all can win who
deserve it.-Des M0ines Register.

WE DON'T KEEP THEM LONG.

Mine is a sadder song,
OF the children sweet around our rect
o, we don't keep the children long
Not far the day till they'll fly away,
Away from this home of ours,
Just as the snow in spring will go,
just as in fall, the flowers.
The babies we bless, with fond caress,
And love still deeper, fonder,
Like birds will sing, like birds will wing,
Like birds the wide world wander.
The laddie wee, upon my knee,
man shall meet my vision,
While other feet as swift, as sweet,
May tread the field elysian.
The little girl whose hair you curl,
Her sweet rose mouth soft kissing,
Away will trip, away will slip,
And you shall do the missing
Wen still be near and still be dear,
But oh, with eyes grown clearer
Wen surely see that there must be
Another nearer, dearer.
We know that best is Gods behest
And thank Him for the giving
OF each soft dove, whose nesting love
Makes life more worth the living.

And on your breast in sleepy rest,

Some day we shall love you duly
But now when you're small and our all in all
Most tenderly and most truly.
So while you stay Wen thrust away
Silence, sorrow, sadness,
And I'LL to tho brim from dawning dim
Every day with gladness

Their love which makes all life complete

Pandora, tho stccplechaser, Cut into
Q and Served To Guests at Phila-

To be cut up into big steaks aud served
as fllet Of beef ut a dinner at the Phila-
delphia club was the fate of Pandora, the
famous steeplechaser. Pandora was shot
because of i%ncurable lameness. After she
had died without a struggle the choicest
meat was cut from her bones and taken to
the cuisine of the Philadelphia club, where
the chef was sworn to secrecy and the
meat was disguised as joint Of beef. DIR.
Rush 8. Huidekoper, who bought Pandora
thirteen years ago, gave q dinner ut the
Philadelphia club and one of the menu
read "Filct a Ia Pandora" Nobody knew
except DIR. Huidekoper that the course was
q part of poor old Pandora's body. The
guests supposed that the dish was named
in honor Of the old steeplechaser, whom
they had seen take ditch and fence and
come i'll winner of many an exciting race.
After the filet had been eaten and pro-
nonnced toothsome by the guests DIR.
Huidekoper remarked that he was glad of
his guests appreciation of his favorite
horse, for" he said, you have eaten her. y
The guests looked ut each ohter in
amazement, and after a short interval Of
deathly silence there vas u roar of laugh
ter. Then in an instant everyone seemed
to remember Pandora as he had seen her
at the last meet, and in reverential silence
the company rose to their feet, lifted their
glasses to their lips, and slipped i'll solemn
silence to the memory of the old gray
mare they had Just devoured.

Queen lsess as a Fltrt.

The British historical manuscript COM
mission, dealing with the Hatfield papers,
continue to bring to light the complex web
of Irritation and policy which was woven
in the days when the maiden queen sat on
the throne of England. Queen Bess was
an inveterate fiirt; she seems to have lived
or n background of romance, where she
appears as the indcfatigable heroine of
many sentimental episodes. Perhaps the
o extraordinary of the queens love
affairs now made public was her relations
ship with the Due d'Alencon. The duke
was n youth of 20. the queen was a mature
siren of 3G when the conrtship began. For
eleven years she played at being the be-
trothed of the French prince, and adj
dressed to HIM bundles of letters in which
the Irritation raj through every word of
coquetry and sentiment. She addressed
the duke as My dearest" thanks him
very humbly' for the sweet flowers
gathered hy the hand with the "small fin
gers" One of the pet names lavished by
the queen upon her princely swain is "the
frog with the little fingers" She is never
weary with expressing her sense of "the
honor you do me in sending your letters
SO often"

IOWA lNrELLraENcE.

Sioux Ctty's Population A0,162.
The agents Of r. l.. Polk l. Co. have
returned to Sioux City with the new city
directory for 1859. The book contains
100 pages more Of matter, including sixty
seven additional pages Of names. In its
introduction the editor of the directory has
this to say Of Sioux City: This edition
Of the Sioux City directory contains an
evidence Of prosperous growth greater than
that of any preceding volume, and shows,
meanwhile. that this beautiful city has not
only kept fully up to the front rank with
other growing cities Of the northwest, but
has really outstr1pped most of her COMPETE
tors in the race and is fast advancing to a
leading place. But it is not germane to the
purpose Of o directory TO engage in extol-
ling a town or city to which il refers. Its
purpose is, rather, to present evidences Of
development by giving full and correct in
formation Us to its inhabitants, institu-
tons, organizations streets, etc. Such,
then, being the purpose Of this book, it is
certainly not exceeding the bounds Of its
promise to present succinctly such matters
outside the strict record of directoryinteli-
gence US will convey to the readers in con-
densed form information respecting the
growth Of the city, and we therefore VEN
ture to add the following statement. In
1884 r. L. Polk & Co. issued the first di-
rectorv for Sioux City, containing 5,038
names, and indicating q population Of 49,
Oh. In 1867, two years later, their
second volume was issued, which contained
6.3SS names, showing a population of 49,
1853. This was an increase OF nearly SO
per cent. Eighteen months afterwards
thei- work for 1878 wal issued. The
nu. der of names then enrolled was 1912,
from which the population was estimated
ut 3O,642. This was q considerably larger
percentage than that shown in the preced-
ing volume, as a shorter period Of time in-
tervened between the second and third
than between the first and second volumes.
The palpable reasons for such more rapid
development were that the city had then
become an important railroad center, and
its surrounding and tributary country had
attained q population propoitionately very
much larger than even that of the city, as
compared with their relative status Of the
preceding period of 1867. Commerce
and manufactures had grown into signifi-
canoe, hundreds of enterprising business
men, laborers, mechanics, CLERKS, ETC., had
been attracted hither as agricultural pur-
suits in the tributary territory continued to
be eminently successful. Everything, in
deed, favored the progress of this central
city-central for alarge, fertile n health
full country. The directory, for which the
facts We're collected twelve months later
than the Immediately preceding volume,
contains II, l75 names, md estimating on
the same basis of three and one-half i'm
habitants for each name the present popu-
lation must be 40, 1862, an increase of near
ly 100 per cent. over that of 1SSG-7.k
