THEsUED4YoPENLNG QUESTION.

II our christian friends do not
become a little more guarded in
their actions. and language attri,
buted to them in some of their con-
fersnces touching the "Sunday
opening" question, they will yet
persuade the world to believe that
they are actuated by feelings far
removed from those impulses Of
"Diyine love-" which they profess
for their fellow creatures. Hot
tempers, bitter words and undlg-
nified department may be endured
hot sanctioned-in senate halls
or parliamentary sessions of high
degree, but they are not inspiring
of respect toward the lofty name
that bespeaks the courts of Lea
ven-the realms Of peace, good
will and righteous fellowship to
which by. their doctrines they
would direct US.
1t is to be feared that the name
of religion has already suffered
more hurt through the contention
engendered than it can recover
from in many years to come. Ger
tainly more has it been injured
than could the Sunday opening of
the worlds fair have injured the
souls to be affected by it.
And herein rests the pith and
marrow of the whole religious
theme in question. What effect
will it have upon the lives of men?
Will exclusion from the worlds
fair on Sunday bring any man or
any number of men into the
churches of religion or to pious
lives2 Will it enkinkle in the
hearts of mon any kindlier feeling
toward their fellows, or cultivate
any attributes Of charity and hon
or in humanity's dealings within
its own ranks? These latter prin-
ciples although looked upon as "of
the earth earthly" are at once and
at the same time the keystone of
the heavenly. So we are taught
in words and works divine. The
extremist seems TO have his heart
set Oh keeping heaven untarnished
--asif heaven could not take care
of itself, and wants to hoist all
things to heavenly conditions at
once by main strength. Other
christian people, just as conscien-
clous, just as potent christian
agents, just as upright in their
lives before the world, feel that
after all "the proper study Of
mankind is man." that the highest
level of true manly rectitude is
we'll en. in the race of godliness;
that the only instrumentality for
mans salvation in this world is
man; that the manly influence
which lea6s its fellows best
toward the brighter light and the
better way en- Sunday or any
other day is the best; and finally
that man in his finite wisdom
may be acting the most righteous
in the premises by winning his fel
low creatures from vilest sins to
scenes elevating and better
through the instrumentality of a
worlds fair On Sunday.

taken place The home which only one
short year ago was such happy one
was darkened now and the only persons
who could be seen were the servants
attending to their numerous duties in
solemn way. They had all learned TO
love their mistress and her mysterious
actions had caused a pang of sorrow to
enter all their simple hearts.
Guy was home now, but he had not
forgotten Grace and had offered valu-
able rewards but to no avail. Grace had
gone, and ii seemed that no living soul
could tell where. Another winter was
here now and it was very dreary one
TO Guy. How ne wished for the end of
life to come. He had doubtless falsely
accused Grace. She was not with George,
for he was dead, and his death was as
much of a mystery now as II was two
years ago. The last days of December
We're dying and also the last days OF
Lenora Hubbard She had written all
of her love TO Guy and requested him To
come to her in her last hours.
The readers will now let their minds
wander back to Lenora's far-away New
England home, where the beautiful snow
lay in heaps and the jingling Of the
sleigh bells with chimes of merry
laughter was mingling with tears which
were dropped in sympathy for poor Le-
nora. After Guy had arrived Lenora
called him to her bedside She told him
of the whole affair and how she had
committed the murder for the love Of
him. Guy listened with tear-flled eyes
and pied of her to tell him where to
find Grace. Lenora said for him to go
to old Betsy. She would tell him all and
where he could find Grace.
A few months passed and brought
beautiful flowers and sunshinny days.
They were also brighter for Guy. He
had seen old Betsy, who told him all and
said that Grace was left with her by a
woman many years ago, who claimed
she was from New England, and that
every drop of blood flowing in her veins
was as pure as his own. She led him TO
an old-style wooden chest, and taking
out a small satchel. opened it and hand
ed Guy a small piece of paper which
told all. Yes. she was pure, and the
daughter Of an English nObleman. But
few weeks passed before Grace was back
home and they were indeed bright days
for her
The war between the North and South
was over and peace was declared. All
the slaves were free. Robert Clinton had
been killed in the war and his wife had
moved away. Old Ben Johnson had
come home. and on being asked where
he was going, said:
Use ben many places, marse Guy,
but dis am de dearest place to me-
Old Betsy died soon after Ben came
home and her death was followed a
few months later by that of Grace. and
later death took Guy to join Grace in a
happier home, and all that is now left
of this story is poor old Ben, who at last
accounts was still living in the old house
waiting for the day to come when he
could join his good old master

of the enemy that swept down upon
them.
Did you ever fall off fence and try
to run your head through brick pave
ment? If So you can imagine the ut
ter impossibility of the Persians pierc-
ing the Spartan lines. Xerxes sent
messenger, asking if they would surren-
der and what their terms would be.
They returned an answer that their
terms were cash, and under no consider
alton would they consent to move until
the 1st of May, which is general NOV
ing day, and that they would continue
TO wage war until they got better wages.
Xerxes, boiling overheard with rage
and Vexation, seized a buggy whip and
attempted to drive them from their po-
sition, but they stood by their guns
and shOwered brickbats into the brick
AIDES of the enemy, whereby they made
lots of brick-kilns. Up to this time
the Spartans had only lost $50 men, but
the battle showed no signs of stop
ping until the fighting was ended. The
brave Leonidas, amid all the hue and
cry, continued to cry and hew down the
Persians, only stopping once TO light
his pipe and adjust his cravat. His
Toledo blade flashed in the sun like
the spOkes of a new carriage wheel, and
heads flew off about as fast as they do
at the commencement of a new admin
istration, and large bodies of troops,
you know, are not worth much for act
i've service without heads, heads being
Indispensable. Where could we wear
our hats if we hadn't heads? Think Of
1t seriously. At this time all the brave
300 Spartans were alive except 296 men,
and they showed no signs of going
home to supper; and as they had only
100000 to oppose they fought Drawer
than ever, with six swords in each
hand, firing their revolvers with their
toes, while the Persians continued TO
come down like a sheep on the fold.
At nightfall there was one Spartan
left. and with turning lathe he sue
ceeded in turning the chromatic scale
of battle and the Persians were sole
proprietors of number one defeat
The remain Spartan didn't remain long,
but ran home to tell the news and brag
about the fight and get the nomina-
ton for sheriff of the county. But he
fell into a msstatement of the facts
and broke his neck, and never got over
it.
So beware, my friends, how you fall
into misstatenents unless you have eX-

and in the remote eras of antiquity,
years before Hendricks Hudson discov-

Ieonidas, hearing of the proposed raid,
hastily gathered 300 home guards to-

wasn't a bit of fighting, and everything
went smoothly until the appearance of

with a little giant corn shelter, and
the humble bees to get the bombs ready.

Cooking schools in Germany.

There are probably one hundred and
fifty schools for cooking i'm Germany
and Austria the best of which are at
Vienna, Berlin and Leipsic A man who
wishes to become a chef must begin at
the very bottom of the ladder-at peel
ing potatoes-and work up, round by
round, to the top. A course of schooling
as strict as that of any polytechnic
school in this country must be followed
for four years before the student can
get a diploma. Every year competitive
exhibitions are given, in which as many
as 200 chefs take part. The chef who
was employed at the white house by
Grover Cleveland during his first term
has a gold medal which was presented
TO him by the Empress Frederick for ex-
cellence in cooking, a silver medal given
by the king of SaXony, diploma from
the empress of Austria, and numerous
other. marks of appreciation and honor
won in competitive contests in cooking.

"AUNT SUES" LETTER.
She Writes to the Club After Sea-
son of Addiction.

Dear ii. l.. & .frlendS-MOntnS nave
passed since have been permitted to
meet with you on the page.
The angle of death has visited my
home and taken two Of my best friends
and l am left lonely and sad. On the
Sth day of April my dear sister Mrs.
Mary ]. Loucks, known to the club as
Aunt Jennie, was called away. Her ill
ness was of short duration. She was
confined to her bed only four days.
In less than three weeks after her
death her husband was taken down to
his bed, where he suffered intensely I'M
til the 4th of October. when the Lord
called him home to live with Him for
ever. Oh how we do miss them; but L
feel sure our loss is their eternal gain.
Sister and 1 are alone. We can never
hear the dear voices of our loved ones
again on earth. Their tongues are
stilled in death, but no doubt are now
praising God in heaven.
On the day of brothers funeral I was
placed in my rolling by loving
hands in a reclining position and taken
to the church, which is only half a
block from my home. There / was COM
PEELED to bid brother a final farewell on
earth, as 1 was not able to follow him
to the cemetery. but / hope to meet them
both in the better world, where We shall
never part again.
1 will here copy part of what was
written for the Kalona Muse:
Jacob Loucks joined the masonic
lodge here in January, 1871, and was
a faithful member and an honor to the
order. The funeral occurred Sunday. at
IL o'clock, the sermon being preached by
the Rev Mr.. Woodson of Riverside.
Everything was in keeping with mason
ic honOrs, and about one hundred men,
bers from neighboring towns Joined this
lodge in the procession. over one hun
dred teams followed the remains of our
beloved brother TO its last resting place
in Snider's cemetery"
The last rites of the masons over a
dead brother are grand and impressive.
Marie, you have my tenderest SYM
pathy in your sad bereavement. Look
to the Lord. He can all our sorrows
heal; if we are true followers of Christ
it will not be long till we meet our loved
ones again. l have received many let
ters during the summer and fall from
my friends in the club. Now, my dear
friends, this poor letter will tell. you
why your letters have not been an
swered, but l hope to be able to answer
all in the future / thank you all for
your good letters. and hope | will not
be forgotten by any of you in the fu-
ture. From your ii. L. c. sister,
