Tho Love of Flowers.

As the twig is bent the tree s in
clined, is trite saying, the truth of
which we sometimes forget. Nearly
three thousand years ago the wisest Of
men declared, Train up child in the
way he should go, and when he is old
he will not depart from it," Most per-
sons are born with natural love for
flowers. / never vet saw a toddler
whose eyes did not light up with pleas
ure at the sight of bright blossoms,
and whose fingers did not itch to hold
in their grasp "the pity flowers" and
small boys show fully as much liking
therefor as their sisters. 1t is con-
sidered the proper thing for our girls
to wear flowers, to love them and care
for them, and so encouraged and
trained, the majority of our girls grow
up into hower-loving women. On
the contrary, in many homes, the boys
are made to feel that the love of flow
ers is "girlish," and trust our modern
boy for wanting at all times to be
"mannish !" 80 our boys smother
their natural liking with forced in
difference, which later, alas, becomes a
second nature. Ninety nine one hun-
dredths of the men and women who
manifest this indifference never had
their tastes cultivated in this direction
while young. 1t is freely admitted
that there is refining, elevating in
fluence about flowers; why, then,
should not parents feel it duty to en-
courage the love of the beautiful in
bud and bloom. Vich's Magazine.

Most convlcts have. before their first week

Iowa and the Whisky Power.

We may "a well calculate the power Of
resurrected whisky this fall. The pow
or has temporarily gained new lease OF
life. Like the dead i'm the valley, they
have come together until there is very
great army. The original package sa-
looms are running i'm almost every town
in Iowa, and making money fast, that
they will divide with the political party
that stands with them. We will waste
no time in guessing what party will get
the benefit Of that power. 1t requires
not the aid of inspiration 10 tell before
hand now. The Democrats in every
county count upon it; and for every
package sold to minor, drIInkard or tip
pier the Democrats will get royalty to
help the party, and To continue the sa
loon in some of its forms and features.
This is a strong power. The package sa-
loon is the recruiting place of the Demo-
cratic party. Plans will be laid there,
inspirations will be gained there. Tho
future veal or woe of the families OF
Iowa will be greatly Influenced by these
places. There arc gCol influences
enough in the State to meet and defeat
these saloons at the polls, but il will not
be done by the third parties, nor by in
difference, nor by sulking, nor by
scratching, nor by staying from the
polls. Earnest work, school district
work, must be done. 1t is interesting TO
study the affiliations of this saloon pow
err. Wherever Democratic majorities
are heaviest, there the liquor power OPP
crates. In the towns and cities among
ignorance and vice the whisky power
finds fellow feeling. The godlike in
flucnces of the State must awake and
come To the rescue. The country home
is all right. All the votes must be
polled. The villages are all right They
generally turn out. The cities are not
all Democratic. They must be thorough
ly awakened. else whisky takes control
of Iowa. These nests of every unclean
and baleful kind must be scattered and
will be, but they are actively making
Democrats at present. Iowa takes n
drink. The State has a dram in its
head. The better judgment must be APP
pcaled to.-Io,cd state Register.

apples and cigars.
Christmas has a treat In store for them In
the way of theatrical performance which
takes place I'm the chapel I'm the forenoon.
Usually some comedy company Is engaged
for their amusement on this day, and n good
hearty laugh is enjoyed, and 10 say that the
convicts appreciate this entertainment ex-
presses 10 but mildly. An unusually good
dinner Is also served on this day, as also on
New Years. which is the extent OF their
merry making for the year
Chapel services are held every Sunday at
ton O'Clock. Every convict Is at liberty TO
go IL he chooses. or remain In his cell. Cath
Ollie services are held once "A month. A reg
ular chaplain is engaged To conduct the
services and a choir and orchestra OF con-
victs furnishes the music, which Is very
good, indeed, to say the least.
The prisoners are allowed any OF the

four weeks, and only one letter at time.

If more pains were taken to build up
the feebler parts of the nature, there
would be less need to pull down the
stronger. For virtues bear relation
to each other which never can be dis
turbed with impunity. They cannot
flourish alone, and he who excels in
one has the utmost need to cultivate
another which may seem opposed, but
which is in reality its counterpart.

AT EVENING.

And babe the world good-ni
While In the sky the floating clouds
Hung blushing ut the sight.
The playful ripples dancing came
Fom out the mighty sea
And paused a moment on the sands
And kissed them tenderly
The gentle evening breezes sighed
Among the boulders bare,
And kissed their loneliness away,
And fingered fondly there.
Ayouth beside maiden walked
II tell no wondrous deed
When twilight's shadows kissed tho shol
