lnsrpsnsivs Summer Cabins

For those who are planning next
summer cabins for mountains or sea-
shore, an example of each type is
shown in the August Delineator. The
former is of rough, unhewn logs, and
the atmosphere of the woods is
wrought into the interior and the
furnishings with excellent effect,
birch, which is found in the vicinity,
giving the keynote of the scheme of
decoration. The cabin having a
water front is built of wide, smooth
boards, with trees laid horizontally
for an underpinning. The interior is
furnished in Indian wigwam effect.
The decorations and furnishings of
both cottages, as illustrated, are sim
pie and artistic.

The Blessings of July.

The heat of July sun is the most
fructifying of all natural agencies.
II fills the ears of corn with a rich
nutrition; it unfolds the cotton
bloom. the mother of the fieecy sta
ple; it gives sweetness to the peach
and iuiciness to the apple; it stores
the sugar-cane with the sweetest sap;
IL fills the grape withlucious juices
IL ripens the rice in the flooded fields,
and expands the tobacco leaf and
charges it with peculiar tiavors.
July is a languid month to man and
to beast. The cattle hunt the shady
pools at midday and enjoy the re-
freshing GOODNESS of the waters.
Man feels his energies impaired, and
rest at noontide is most necessary to
him. Yet July is a time of rich frul-
ton. and the hot sun that makes the
animal kingdom sluggish enriches
the vegetable world.

WHO WILL BE RUNNING MATE?
Much Talk Concerning Same; Many
Names Suggested.

Names suggested.
St. Louis. July THE vice presi-
Dental talk of the day centered
chiefly around Senator Turner, OF
Washington. and John W. Kern, OF
Indiana, with Judge Harmon, OF Ohio,
being urged by many men or prOmi-
hence.
The strongest movement is in IA
vOr of the man from the coast, but his
cause was injured somewhat by the
Bryan and Hearst people stating that
Senator Hill and the Parker man
ayers had offered this nomination TO
them as a concession. This was
promptly denied by the Parker lead
ers. it evidently had it's birth in the
desire of the Bryan-Hearst people TO
make it appear that they are to get
something out of the convention.
The Parker managers have been
playing good politics by encouraging
all of the several vice presidential
boOms without tying to any or them.
In this connection there has been
some revival of the talk of nominating
a southern man. Some of his col
leagues in the senate and house start
ed to talk of Senator Bacon, of GeOr-
gia, who is held in high esteem by
them, but the Georgian promptly put
a squelcher on this talk. The North
Carolina delegation expects to cast its
vote for Governor AycOck upon the
first ballot Senator Tillman is talk
ing for some southern man. He does
not care who he is. The Tennessee
people are pulling strongly for Sen
ator Carmack in the face of his eX-
preston of desire that he be not con-
sidered. The general drift or senti-
mnet is for some man in the middle
west, but there seems no cOncentra-
tion upon any one of the several men
from that group of states who have
been mentioned.
