The Question of Economy

Is far reaching and has direct effect
upon the family and community rs
the Individual. To illustrate, young
lady in one of the Diamond Garment
Cutter schools claimed that she being
so economical in the matter of dress,
having had but one fine and three
plain dresses during the season. that
even learning the Diamond Garment
Cutter system would afford her but
little saving. We will admit that the
lady had been economical, yet when
the facts were obtained, her bills
were about $50 that she might have
saved by using the Diamond Garment
Cutter. There are five sisters in the
family and saving of the same
amount for each one is $3.50 each
season, or enough TO pay house rent,
or in a short time buy a nice home.
An equal amount spent twice a year,
by half the people in Rock Island
would amount to over one million
dollars, and yet we wonder why fam
lilies, or even whole communities are
eternally poor.

In MemOriam.

As Honorable Nathan s. HARDWOOD,
president Of the Hayden Art club. has
been taken away by an untimely death,
it is peculiarly fitting that there be put
upon the records some expression Of ap-
probation Of our late president.
Mr.. Harwood was born in Michigan
June Is, ls43, but spent bis early man
hood in Iowa. After finishing his COL
lege course, which had been interrupted
by his participation in the civil war. he
cams to Lincoln, where, for almost
thirty years. he was identified with the
growth Of the city. He was man Of
affairs. with much experience and wide
influence.
The benefit Of this experience and in.
fuence was given to the Hayden Art
club, for he was not only it's first, but
only, president, and from it's inception
was it's staunch friend. During the
period Of its existence, he took from his
busy life time to meet with us and to
preside over our deliberations, encour-
aging US in every way, with his presence,
his advice and his purse.
Cultured. widely travelled, success
full business man with a catholic and
ready sympathy, he was an invaluable
member of the association. just. con-
siderate to others. with an attractive
personality, he was "a much loved as he
was respected. His many services to
the community. while valued, call for
no special mention here, but Of his help
and care for the promotion and welfare
of this club we can but express our ap-
probation, and regret his early taking
off. which leaves vacancy that may not
be filled, but a memory that shall always
be honored and cherished.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
1t has been noticed here that there
is a movement on foot in Nebraska to
raise popular subscription for Mrs.
John M. Stotsenburg, widow of the
colonel. Washington papers have made
mention Of the fact that Stotsenburg
was hero, who, like Lawton. died at
the head Of his troope, and that Ne
braska was doing the proper thing in
raising fund to assist the widow and
the children.
Mrs. Stotsenburg lives here with rela.
tives. Her health is 80 bad that che is
under physicians care all Of the time.
She has small children to care for. In
the meantime the proposition to grant
her pension has probably been de-
feated for the present, at least, by the
owe of Senator Allen, who introduced
q pension bill in the other end Of con-
gress, without consulting either Mrs.
Stotsenburg or the introducer of the
house bill, the intention being to get
little cheap advertising and at the same
time to interfere with the house bill,
which should have had the right Of way.
The two bills call for different amounts.
and it lie not probable that either will
get through. 1t will be good idea to
watch Senator Allen and his bosom
friends and see how much they donate
to the popular fund.-Rushville Re

"FrOm loife."

The greatest evil of divorce il the one
of which little is said-the catastrophe
to the children from the disruption of
the family. An incident from current
New York life will illustrate better than
a thousand generahties:
In divorce suit that created great
deal of talk not long ago the court gave
the father the custody OF the children.
He has put them in charge Of one of his
female relatives. The younger child is
little girl just large enough to write
in a large scrawling hand and read
words Of one syllable. If the type is
large and her mind not too tired. A few
days ago, about midnight, tie nursery
governess missed the child. She was
not in her little bed, not in Der room nor
in the house-and the front door was
unaccountably open. The governess
ran into the street and to the corner,
where she presently saw, under a street
lamp, far down the block, a small figure
marching steadily away from "home"
through the lonely, bog-naunted dark
ness. The governess called, the child
looked back and then ran on until one
OF her shoes came off. This enabled the
governess quickly to overtake her. She
had on her hat, and coat buttoned all
awry over her night gown. She had
not stopped to put on her stockings or
to button her shoes.
"Oh, let me go on !" she sobbed.
"Why. where do you want to go. you
naughty little girl ?" said the governess.
81 waited till you were asleep" re-
piled the child, land then l started out
to find my mamma"
And they had thought the child had
forgotten, because they had told her
never to speak Of her mother and she
bad said nothing about her for more
than six months.
There is much brave talk about "su-
preme duty to ones own individuality"
and about 1.-THE irrepreesible conflict OF
hostile temperaments." But it sinks
away il shamefaced silence before the
appealing voice of a forlorn little child
looking for her lost mother.-New York
