The Iowa commissioners TO the
TransMississ!pp exposition at Omaha

and Iowa will not have to pay for
space for an exhibit If the attempt
to charge dad not been made Iowa
people would have felt better. The
Legislature appropriated $4,000 last
year to aid in making the state exhibit.
The legislature will be asked to make
Il much larger additional appropriation
this coming winter. The general Sell
timent us expressed through the news
papers of the state is that about
enough has already been appropriated
for that purpose. Iowa has Il state
debt, to be sure it is a small one. but
Nebraska's leading citizeiis were loud
in their allusiOn to it during the recent
campaign. 1t might be good plan
now to remind them that we think
best to pay our state debt before ap
propriating mere money for an expOsi-
ton that is more calculated to benefit
Omaha and Nebraska than any other
locality. Iowa people also remember
that when they had the cause at heart
of elevating their most gifted public
man to the presidency, those of like
political faith in Nebraska failed to
perform the common cOurtesies of
neighborS. 'Unless it is shown that it
will benefit Iowa more than it costs,
we see no reason why we should fur
ther tax ourselves and appropriate
more money for the exposition exhibit

Why is it that one man is old and de-
crepit at 45, and another ha lie and hearty
at 80? 1t depends on the care he takes
of himself. Often mans body gets
out of repair-the trouble grows until
it lays him out in bed. Whenever
man feels that he is not as we'll as he
ought to be, whenever he is listless,
without tnergp and without vitality,
whenever he finds that he is losing
weight and that his ordinary work gives
him undue fatigue, he needs DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. If he keeps
on working with his liver inactive and
his blood impure-he keeps his nerves
and his body under constant nervous
strain. He will not be hearty when he
is old. "The Golden Medical Discovery
cures many so-called diseases because
nearly all illness springs from the same
fhing-bad digestion and consequent
impure blood. The Discovery" makes
fhe appetite, good, the digestion strong,
assimilation easy, and the blood rich

THE SNOW FORT.
In the happy days Of boyhood.

IA LlS udppg udyS VI Wy 4IOOAs
Five and thirty years age,
(Life's golden ~ of joyhood)
We built castles Of the snow.
In the glittering drifts we quarried,
And our mason work was rare
As those mansions. many stored,
Manhood fashions out Of air.
Though our ramparfs and our fosses
Might have puzzled old Vauban,
What cared We, the infant bosses.
For old fogy rule or plan?
Our outworks were the queerest
Ever reared by human skill.
But OF names VIC chose the dearest
Every fort was Bunker Hill.
How the parts of British leaders
Went a-begging, one and ALL
How Te all were earnest pleaders
For front places On the wall!
Boys detailed for service foreign
Fell I'm line with cloudcd brow.
Each one clamored to be Warren,
And none wanted to be Howe.
The battle-ah! we fought II
Not at all by history's light;
How the pcsky English caught It.
How they always lost the tight!
In despite Of truth we chased them,
Ana, TO lactS entireiy Dllnu,
As adown the hill we raced them
How we peppered them behind!
Thus we fought the fight of Bunker's
In the days that knew no care.
Ere the snow we tossed. as younkers,
Time had sifted on our hair.
Now. ala3i in the fierce battle
We wage daily with the world,
Harder. shots against US rattle
Than our boy arms ever hurled.
And It's not the generous tussle
OF the sno fort on the knoll,
But a strife of those who hustle
Not the body, but the soul;
And instead Of cleaning missiles
Poisoned shafts fly TO and fro,
And we march DER calling th!Stles,
Not the velvet of the snow.
