REORGANIZATION?

1t is an old saying that there is a d.
vinity which shapes our ends, rough
hew them as we will. More than hun
dred months ago a man came to Indian
apolis, Seeing il was a center in the
United States from which many big things
radiate He invested in home at 9lS
North Capitol avenue. a lovely place, put
many friends, he felt the need OF large
place. and set about planning the construc-
ton of thirty-room house, and church
building close by. His plans soon mater
laliZed. First, there appeared great mouse
at the corner of Eleventh street and Cap
itol avenue, and soon there came into ex-
istence the church just around the corner,
which he named Peniel Temple. Prosperity
attended him Pilgrim Home and the
church were not enough. The idea OF a
great Christian Hotel entered his brain, as
people, morally disposed, might stop and
feel every protection Of the home and yet
have the advantage of every convenience
which could be found in any hotel. Shad-
oWs or coming events were soon forecasted,
and by seen and unseen powers there has
appeared on North Illinois street, near
New York street, the great Linden Hotel
OF easy access to downtown shopping dis
trtcts and in close proximity to the mag
nii1cent new Federal building and the beau
tiful interurban depot. Few people realized

this great mountain of brick and mortar
In astonishing unlikeness to other hotels in
America.
On entering its portals, there expands
10 view the great wide hall 200 feet long;
midway In its course it is intersected by
large forty-foot court extending from the
hrst floor TO the skylight sixty feet above.
AT every floor, a wide balcony, prone
made, opens to the court, each bedecked in
palms and blooming flowers. In the center

maid, Miss Linden; browning her head is
an urn of bronze, from the center of which
a jet or water is projected skyward to fall
again into the urn, thence like a veil over
her beautiful figure, which Is as lovely
as dream, form as graceful a weep
ing willow, and produces a charm as en-
chanting as the spring. At this fountain
one may partake of the cool, refreshing
draughts of this health-giving water, the
nature of which is not understood by the
writer, but its wonderful qualities are not

tive style and profusion may be seen stately
palms, some raising their graceful leaves
fifteen feet above the beautifully tiled floor.
Here and there are blooming flowers and
odoriferous buds. With the birds singing

suggestion of what Eden must have been
In this beautiful place one may sit for hours
in perfect enchdntment and cOntentment
What is more soothing to the feyerish
temperament than the sweet fragrance of
buds and blooming flowers waited on the
gentle spring breeze like a breath from the
islands of the blessed, coming like moon
light-like dew. There is such a sense of
freedom in this abundantly lighted and
ventilated building, such comfort, such con-
tentment it seems incredible that the regu-
lar order of things should be disturbed
amidst the scenes of matchless beauty and
glad abiding place where one feels carried
away with delight. 1t lights the soul, as
ii were, into blaze with magic spell un-
explainable.
ity the place affords, one feels delivered
from the conventional incantations of arti-
fetal life, and can enjoy himself with such
happiness not usually attained by the
weary victims who crowd into the many
hotels Here, the finer sensibilities of the
morally clean men are not offended by
gambling articles and alcoholic dispensato-
ries. How grand ii is that We may have a
great hotel in this capital city, like the
Linden, where one may go and be safe
from the vile and vicious; God-favored
place.
The Linden with it's many attractions
and clean comfortableness is worthy f
every consideration from you of the trav-
cling public who believe in the principles
here exemplified. You will find your ac-
| quaintances here will be the best OF angelic
romance that ever shot its rosy thread
through somber wool of your wandering
will dream of walking again through the
| fields of thyme and clover, which ought to
overcome the gravity of the saddest mortal
that ever wore sackcloth and ashes, and as
you go your way, strike a spell on your
gathering recollections, and you will wonder
whether all this which has come before your
| vision is not the departing yapor OF de-
| lightful dream.
