As TRUE AS GOSPEL.

Women desire sympathy, men pre-
fer help.
Never take crooked path while you
can find straight one.
Idleness is only the refuge Of weak
minds and the holiday of fools.
Self-reliance, self-restraint, self-dis-
cipline constitute an educated will.
The soul and spirit that animates
and keeps up society is mutual trust.
Hope is the word which the finger
of God hath inscribed upon the brow
OF every man.
Cheerfulness is an excellent wear
ing quality. 1t has been called the
bright weather OF the heart.
The man who bowls at the passing
of the hat in church will pay a big
hotel bill with smile on his face.
The man who, improving in skill and
knowledge, improves in modesty, has
an undeniable claim to greatness OF
mind.
When we strive to do the best We
can we are sure to find that our best
is beyond anything that we had dared
to hope for.
Parental restraint, if it is wise, will
be exerted only with the view OF rem
dering the child as soon as possible
independent of it.
The respect people show you in your
misfortune diminishes long before you
have begun to outlive it, and you feel
irritated as before.
If you have made a mistake, do not
think it condescension to apologize.
The true gentleman is always ready
to rectify blunder.
Weigh your own faults with the
scales of justice, but when you consider
the shortcomings of your neighbor,
borrow the balances of charity.
Write it on your heart that every
day is the best in the year. No man
has learned anything rightly until he
knows that every day is Doomsday.
To give suggestion, or even serious
advice, to another may be kind and
wise; but to press either beyond GER
tain limits is both rude and impolitic.
A companion that is cheerful, and
free from swearing or scurrilous dis
course, is worth gold. TITS the COM
pany and not the charge that makes
the feast.

THE NEWS in IOWA
A FIRE INSURANCE WAR.
Lively Fight On Rates Promised Among
Old-Line Compa MES.

Old-Line Companies.
DIES MONIES, July 2O.--1owa is
threatened with fire insurance war.
The fight has already been begun in
illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Min
nesota, and there seems no hope now
of keeping it out of Iowa and other
western states. Recently the govern
ing committee of the Western Union,
an organization of strong companies
in Chicago, announced 20 per cent
reduction on rates affecting dwellings,
churches, school buildings and court
houses. Scarcely had the Western
Union sounded the opening note OF the
campaign, when Il. II. Garriguc, OF
Chicago, of Chicago, agent for the
Merchants Insurance company, OF
Newark, announced that his company
would meet the reduction. Mr.. Gar
rigue finally went the Western Union
one better by offering to allow agents
e5 per cent on all policies written in
Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana
and Iowa. This was a much deeper
cut than the one made by the Western
Union. as it reduced the commission OF
its agents to 10 per cent. The North
western National company Of Mil
waukec ordered a cut OF from 30 to 30
per cent on all preferred risks. Thus
far the conflict has not fairly reached
Iowa, though 1t is believed it cannot
be prevented. Dcs MoiDes has not yet
been affected but there are signs OF
the coming trouble. A fight among
the old-linc companies here would
mean saving to policy holders of
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
