Diplomacy a zine Art.

Diplomacy is a fine art, and in its
successful practice much depends upon
the observation of social conventions.
Some of the most successful diplomats
secnl to spend most OF their time at
dinners and parties, apparently doing
nothing but enjoying themselves. but
i'll reality serving we'll their countries.
IN truth. tic reputation of Il country ut
Il foreign court and ofttimes its well
fare in important issues depend very
largely upon the social abilities of it's
minister. for the man who is popular
socially is very likely to drive better
international bargain than his unso-
ciahlc brother. This is well understood
at Washington. and the selection of n
chief for one of our foreign embassies
depends in no small part upon his So
cial culture.-Edward Page Castor in
Woman's Home Companion.

Grcclcy's Awful Writing.

1t is interesting to recall the fact that
Horace Greeley left behind him q very
frank criticism of the legibility Of his
own clirography. Being up town in
New York one day, and wishing to
send a telegram and also to get shaved,
he entered u hotel and sent his dis
patch. Then, passing into the barber
shop, he sat down In chair and (ac-
cortling to custom) was soon sound
asleep.
Meantime the telegram had created
a decided sensation, Mr.. Greeley hav-
ing thrown it down hastily on the desk
and neglected to translate it. Nobody,
from the manager down, being able to
supply lcgible equivalent for tho
mysterious characters, messenger
WAS sent into the barber shop with the
screed.
Waking with a start. and supposing
that the boy had brought an answer to
his dispatch. Mr.. Greeley took the
paper, scanned 1T for IL moment, and
then, With a look of deep disgust, piped
out: "Wllat blamed idiot wrote this?"

The Games That Were Played In the

bro" and commerce" The gains and
losses of the kings and queens were, as
IL rule, restricted to 100 guineas, but on
Twelfth Night 1t was customary for
thousands to change hands. On one
occasion Lady Cowper, a lady in wait

About the year 174O a rage for
"whisk," or whist, set in, but at first
it was considered too wise q game for
ladies' to join in. Hume, the historian,
never went to bed without his whist,
and even the great johnson regretted
that he had not learned to play cards.
In 1742 Horny" Walpole finds 1t abso-
lutely necessary to learn "whisk,"
"having waited in vain for it's being

Inconsistent.

Our republican friends now claim
that Iowa will give at the next cleo
tion not less than one hundred thous
and republican majority, and yet they
are making arrangements to import
in to the state number of "big guns"
to assist them in the canvass. If their
majority is so positively assured, why
are they making such extensive ar
engagements for canvass? Do they
want the earth and the fullness there
of? Such big majorities are danger
Gus to honesty and economy. The
best government is in states where
parties are about equal, then officers,
from absolute necessity, are compelled
to act honest to hold their jobs but if q
nomination is equal to an election the
elect feels no restraint on their action.

TIMES: In looking over the TIMES
this evening became very much in
terested in those letters written by "a
Workingman," and hope that every
working man in Iowa will have q
chance to read them and consider them
carefully. 1t is not necessary to make
any comment on them for they are
plain and conservative and written I'M
doubtedly by one who sees the condi-
tions as they really are and gives them
an unbiased consideration.
Now what l wish to say is this to
the workingmen of Missouri Valley
No matter what your politics are, look
this Workingman up and place him in
a position to do you some good. A
man of this stamp is worthy of the
peoples suffrage and should be placed
in charge of their interests. Now as
a workingmsn l would suggest that
you, as workingmen. see to 1t thai
such men as these be placed in posi-

Up in the Old Town Hall the ath-
letes of Missouri Valley are strainlng
and sweating in preparation for the
bouts to be held during the wrestling
tournament to be held in the new
opera house August Both and 3lst.
Missouri Valley has q strong bunch of
entries in the different classes and if
any Of the medals offered leave the
city it will not be due to lack of train
ing on their part. Logan.is the team
most feared, as they have had q
month more training than the Valley
boys, and under Prof. Coleman, pro-
baby the most sklllful wrestler in the
world. AS our boys have only been
under Prof. Robinson three weeks a
remarkable development has been pre-
duced and coupled with the natural
strength and endurance, which was so
we'll proven in last years foot ball re-
cord, should make showing that will
make Missouri Valley proud, but they
expect to earn all they get, for theirs
is no easy path. The management of
the tournament have decided to ask
no entrance fee. AS some of the con-
testants have considerable expense to
bear this will aid them materially, the
contests being open to any person who
can show clean amateur record, aud
a residence in this county. No pro.
fessional men wanted. Negotiations
are under way at present to have two
crack light weight boxers here for al
exhibition bout on the last evening O
the tournament.

trated III tho Case of Eek Gov. Newell.
The advantages of prolonged life are
not always apparent, says the Savan-
nah News Certainly life must have
lost most of its attraction for man
who has once tasted the sweets of in.
tluence and power and finds himself,
in his declining years, drifting, in pow
erty and obscurity, toward an unknown
grave.
Just day or two ago there died, I'M.
der circumstances such as these, man
who had sat i'll Congress with Abra-
ham Lincoln and other giants of those
days, who had been Governor of the
Territory of Washington, and who had
been the holder of other offices of trust
and distinction. He was the author of
the bill that created the life-saving
service of the United States. The man
was William A. Newell. He diedln a
small bedroom in cheap boarding
house, and only through the casual ac-
lqulntance of the Adjutant General of
New Jersey with the facts and the Of
ticial's prompt and commemorate ac-
ton was his body rescued from COM
plete neglect and final interment in the
| Potter's field.
Fame, in most instances, is but a
transient visitor. The man to whom
it comes 'grasps it but for agar or two
and then, swiftly, silently, sees it Slip
ping away. Power lasts for a day,
wealth is liseting, popularity is as ev-
anescent, almost as the wind. lie who
has them all cannot be certain they
last out his life. Indeed, the probabil
tiles are that before he has reached the
allotted three score and ten of the
Psalmist these things that have made
life rich IN promise and frution will
have reached their full maturity and
then have crumbled into dust.
What does life hold for him? Eve
erything that has made it beautiful
has passed from him and in old age
there Is nothing for him to live upon
save the memories of past attainments
He has been power in the land, and
he sees the veriest trio in his profess
ion enjoying wider clientage than he
Can claim; he has had wealth, and grim
poverty stares him in the face; he has
been the center Of a circle OF admirine
: friends, and now there is no one to
care for his wants, to solace his decli
ming years, or to mourn his ultimate
departure. Life can scarcely be swee
to him from whom all that made it sc

This afternoon there was an I'M
mense attendance at the show grounds.
1t is highly probable that the capacity
of the tent will be taxed again tonight
when all men can go with their fam
lilies. The show Is worth more than
the price of admission, offering some.
thing for everybody, being so varied
in its character. One of the most salts
factory features of the .'Pawnee Bill''
attraction is the fact that each and
every feature advertised appeared on
the program without curtailment or
slighting, as matter of fact, several
numbers appeared which the manage
ment had not thought worthy of ad
lvertising at all, among others the
juvenile "Wild West" This feature
was gotten up to please the little folks,
and Pswnee Bill did not give due pub
licity to this feature: intending to have
it come as a pleasant surprise to the
youngsters. And such indeed it was.
That this is good move on the part
of the owner was evidenced in the
gleeful faces of the little tots wher
the beautiful Shetlands made their ap
pearance with the miniature stage
coach, prairie schooner. papooses, Ind
ian tots and all the concomitants Of
the real Wild West, but on smalle
scale. The faces of the children beam

unfolded before their eyes WAS enougl
