Dear Mutual Friends;
Ego sends us poem this week of which
she thinks Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is the
author, but she is not sure. Perhaps some
one will tell Us If she is correct In her sup
position. But the spirit OF the poem we
can appreciate and appropriate. The days
come and 60 so swiftly we scarcely have
time to think that one by one they are
going, never to return. Older people Of
ten hear younger ones wishing time away
so that some anticipated pleasure may be
enjoyed. There are those who long to see
into the future. to know what it has in
store for them; but II we could peer into
the future even as we can recall the past,
the most of US would be entirely untitled
for the duties OF the present.

absolutely no market in this establish

to be sure, but the quantity sold makes

The reporter thought of the old time
methods of carrying on great business
of this kind as compared to those of to-
day; how to-day all advertising must
,be strictly along the lines of truth;
nothing must be misfepresented either
inside or out of the store, Every clerk
must understand the particular article
he is in charge of and woe to him
should he in however slight manner

an air of holiday enthusiasm although

What man of affairs the modern
dry goods merchant has to be- how
many sided, how versatile With what
tact and keen Judgment he needs must
conduct his business both at home and
abroad, in order to compete with his
keen rivals
A Journal and Courier man after a
tour of The Gambe-Desrmond com
pany's great store yesterday afternoon
concluded that it required no small
amount of generalship to plan for and
successfully carry out the plans for the
management of a modern, up-to-date
department store such as is this The
reporter learned that the army of sales
people who wrapped up and handed the
goods over the counters so deftly and
so rapidly had to be cared for, especial
Iy at this time. The place must be
kept at just the right temperature with
plenty of good fresh air circulating
through the aisles, so that the entire
store force can be kept well in spite of
this terrific strain of long hours that is
put upon them. And at the same time
the store must not be overheated be-
cause of the crowds. That is only one
of the thousand things to be thought of
in preparing for these busy days.
This store is perhaps one of the most
comfortable in town the reporter mo-
ticed The broad aises accommodate
tremendous crowds without any SEEM
ing crowding and every customer re-
ceives most courteous treatment
whether he wants to buy or is simply
looking about while deciding on his pur-
chase. These We're only the outward
things. The reporter learned that for
months ahead the various buyers are
kept busy looking up exclusive things
such as store like The Gamble-Des-
uphold a reputation gained long since
for that sort of thing. Many of the hol-
iday goods, such as the tons of hand
kerchiefs so attractively shown come
from ireland, Scotland, Germany and
England and are ordered almost year
ahead of time. Lacea and embroideries
gloves and hosiery, all these things than
which no more beautiful holiday dis
play has ever been made in New Ha
ven, are most of them made to the
FIRMS order
Both Mr.. Gamble and Mr.. Desmond
are dry goods men of the widest expert |
ence. That is the secret Of their sue
cessful methods of merchandising. They |
know the exact value of every article !
however small, that comes into the |
shipping room.
THAT is why The Gamble-Desmond
company is not obliged to sell cheap
stuff; goods that are trashy and of poor

O'Connor he deprecated resumption

HOY COMMITS SUICIDE.
Ill Health Causes Nelson Carpenter to
Shoot Himself.

4 s. g.
Mason City, Aug. 9.-Nelson Carpen-
ter, the 17-year-old son of L. C. Car
penter, a farmer living south of Clear
Lake, committed suicide Saturday af-
ter noon in fit of dependency over
continued ill health. Young Carpenter
has been close student at the Clear
Lake high school, and it is thought
that over-study had undermined his
health and brought on slight mental
alteration. On the afternoon of his
death he had come into the house and
lain down on couch and in response
to an inquiry from his mother he said
he was feeling some better. His moth
er left the house for time and when
she returned found that he had left.
After an absence of some hours search.
was made for him and he was found
in clump of bushes with the entire
top of his head blown off and a shot
gun lying near by. As near as can.
be learned he must have placed the
muzzle of the gun in his mouth and
discharged it. No other cause for the
self-infiicted death is known except
his dependency over the state of his
health. The funeral services were
held Sunday, conducted by Rev. Sum
ner I. Martin, of this city, and the
remains of the unfortunate youth were
inferred at Clear Lake.

ASHAMED OF BURTON.
Ofhcials of State Normal school Cha.
grined at His Actions.

Cedar Falls, Aug. 9.-The officials
and students of the State Normal
school here were deeply chagrined to
learn from the dispatches Saturday
that Capt. A. F. Burton, of Company d,
,Fifty-first Iowa regiment, now in Ma
Mia, had been suspended from ser
vice for cowardice while in battle
with the insurgents. The report says
that Burton is now at Manila awaiting
dishonorable discharge from the
army.
y few years ago Burton was stu
dent at the State Normal school here,
and a member of Major Dinwiddie's
battalion. He WAS a fine looking man,
and made an excellent, soldierly APP
pearance on the parade grounds. He
was popular man in the school. Leav-
military training gave him such a
standing that he became captain OF
Company d. When the Spanish-Ameri-
can war began he was teaching school
at Wymore, Neb., under contract that
would not expire for two years, but he
left the school room one day without
notice and the next day turned up at
sVillisca and assumed command of his
company just as it was going into rem
devious at Des Moines. His friends
here were proud of him and looked to
see him make record on the field,
when it was known the Fifty-frst
would go to Manila and would certain
.ly get a taste of fighting. They did
not expect the kind of record which he
is reported to have made, however,
that of deserving his company and hid
ing in ditch while his men swept for
ward into action. Hope is expressed
that if there is any plausible excuse
for such action he may be able to fur
nish at. Burton was prominent in
school work and was at one time reg
istration secretary of the State Teach
ers' association.
