Cookery For Outdoors And Indoors,

Summer picnickers and garden
party hostesses may turn to the
July Delineator for novel and at
tractive ideas. Many forms of
outdoor festivities are therein set
forth, in addition to innumerable
suggestions of domestic value. A
vegetarian breakfast, illustrated,
will appeal to a large class. while
of general culinary interest are
the recipes for Summer fruits
and for dainty dishes from veal.
An article of insect pests will be
of great service at this season.

Profanity is bad enough any
where. But when the editors of
of secular papers use cuss words
in their columns to give an APP
pearance of smartness, the thing
becomes as offensive as the smell
of a skunk. Rowdies who swear
on streets, at railway stations,
and about are ruffians who care
little for women, children and
gentlemen. What is to be said
of the newspaper which puts
editorial profanity and vulgarity
in cold type to be read at family
firesides?

Cheer Up.

Cheer up.
The world is taking your
photograph. Look pleasant. Of
course you have your troubles,
troubles you cannot tell the
policeman. A whole lot of
things bother you. Of course.
Business worries or domestic
sorrows, it may be, or what not.
You find life rugged road
whose stones hurt your feet.
Nevertheless
Cheer up.
1t may be your real diseases is
observation-disclosures selfish
ness. Your life is too self-center-
ed. You imagine your tribula-
tions are worse than others to
bear. You feel sorry for your
self-the, meanest sort of pity.
1t is a puthetic illusion. Rid
yourself of that, and
Cheer up.
What right have you to carry
a picture of your woe-begone
face and funeral ways about
among your fellows who have
troubles of their own? If you
must whine or sulk or scowl take
a car and go to the woods or to
the unfrequented lanes.
Cheer up.
Your ills are, largely imagin-
airy. If you were really on the
brink of bankruptcy or if there
were no thoroughfare through
your sorrows you would clear
your brows, set. your teeth and
make the best of it.
Cheer up.
You are making a hypothetical
case out of your troubles and
suffering from a self-inilicted
verdict. You are borrowing
trouble and paying a high rate
of interest.
Cheer up.
Why, man alive! In a ten
minutes walk you may see a
score of people worse off thar
you. And here you are digging
your own grave and playing pail
bearer into the bargain. Man
alive, you must do your work
Smile, even though it be through
your tears-which speedily dry

LIBERTY.
By L. f. HIGGINS,
Omaha, Neb.

Omaha, Neb.
Her form so fair, so pure, so
bright,
Her face is far beyond compare,
Her sparkling eyes dispense the
night
Her presence, tyranny's dispair.
If we but worship at her shrine,
Depend upon her gentle sway,
Justice and JOY will fall in line
While force and fraud must stink
away.
Her smile will tighten every load
Give us in every motion grace,
And lead us on peaceful road
To free entire the human race.
By force and fraud we're held
apart
From this our dearest, sweetest
shrine,
BY every hateful sort of art
That vilest natures could divine.
When in her royal sway com
plete,
The people then, enslaved nc
more,
Will throng with trophies at hel
feet,
While songs resound from every
shore.

AS this is leap year it may be
timely to give few hints to the
young men. We have known
young men to meet pretty face
in ball room, falls in love with
it, marries it, goes to house
keeping with it and boasts of
having a home and a wife to
grace it. The chances are he
has neither. He has been
"taken in" Her pretty face
gets to be an old story, or be-
comes faded and as the face was
all he paid attention to, all he
swore to honor, love and protect,
he is sick of his bargain. An
other young man becomes enam-
ored of a fortune. He waits
upon it to parties and balls,
weds it and calls it wife, carries
it home, introduces it to his
friends and says he is married
and has a home. He is not
married. He has no home and
soon finds it out. If a young
man would escape these conse-
quences let him shun the rocks
upon which so many have made
shipwreck. Let him learn to
look into the mind and heart of
the woman he thinks of marry
ing.

There is a true enjoyment in
that friendship which has it's
source in the innocence and
uprightness of a true heart. A
sympathizing heart finds an echo
in sympathizing bosoms that
bring back cheering music to the
spirit of the loveliest. Be all
honor to true friendship and
may it gather yet more fragrant
blossoms from the dew-bathed
meadows of social intercourse, to
spread along the toil-worn road
of life.
