she is lovely; true blue every inch. Then.
our Iowa Commander. Daisy Deighton, was

our own. There was a grand meeting at the
nome OF Lllile ana Nellie jbaVlS u EiTIS.
One afternoon we girls started out to see the
sights, and before coming home we undertook
the feat Of climbing to the top of large bluff
which was in one Of tbe parks Tiresome?
Well. rather; but the view was grand when we
reached the top of it.
The next day we went through the smelling
works of Omaha, and then made trip ont to
Fort Omaha TO see the soldiers on dress parade.
To one who had never witnessed anything OF
the kind it was a sight worth seeing.
The music, the SUMS last rays. showing
glimpses of light here and there, the merry
crowds gathered 10 see the parade, and last of
all the soldiers, every foot just so. stepping
across the parade ground, presented picture

SIGH AND THREAT.
DEAR LOYAL HOME WORKERS: | must come
in for few minutes chat and renew my ac-
guaintance with all of my old friends. | have
been silent for some time, and now, as glance
through the columns of our G. c. page and re-
alize the changes which have been wrought
within the past few years, / can but wonder
what the future has in store for our loyal baud.
This Is a progressive age, indeed, but 1 often
wish our {. &. was more like il used to be.
There are so many pleasant memories clus-
| tered around those earlier days when the Con-
versation Club was yet IN its infancy The
Curious Corner, Bible Brigade, and the pleas.
ant little chats, which were in reality the life
of our &, C., and the much-needed Exchange
tFF hnxgn all hazt u a.,lF ,-
! torieal and scientific discussions.
And now here comes a change. Brother
Amos can find no subject SO interesting as
woman's faults.
We will all admit we each have our failings
but there is right way and wrong way in
| correcting them, and our &. Z. brothers seem
/ 10 take refuge in the latter.
would like to ask brothers If il would
not be wiser plan to tell US faults in q
| kindly way, aud then bid us a hearty God
! speed IN whatever we may undertake.
Brother Amos, | will probably pass through
your city in the future, and L would
advise you to seek place of safety, or you
| might possibly receive a rather mild tongue
flashing.
would like to hear from some Of the G. C..
! girls in Missouri, as we are thinking of locat-
! ing there. Can anyone send me the words of
Katie Lee and Willie Gray? / will ex-
| change any songs have to anyone who can
