Delicate.
The Dirnple.

Science may point out that a dimple
is a blemish and hat it has no bust
ness OIL a perfect face. but science
could not write books enough to con-
vince doubling man of this great truth.
In fact if a young lady has a couple
of dimples mixed in with her other
features the average man will over
look several other faults. She may
perhaps be a trifie shy on education
and not have money enough to buy a
slightly damaged duke, but if a girl
has a few dimples as her stock in trade
she can come pretty near taking her
pick OF the young men of the neighbor-
hood. She may marry for love or
money, whichever she sees fit.
1t is mighty easy for a man, if he is
convinced that a dimple is a blemish,
when he has won the favor of a girl
who is afflicted with them to console
himself with the thought that none of
US are perfect anyway.

Wildwood's Popularity.
the Nlneland Ionrnnl.

From the Nineland journal.
The popularity of Wildwood has
grown greatly during this summer.
Visitors from all parts of the country
say that it Is fast becoming one of the
most popular watering places on the
Atlantic coast. The fine, new board
walk, skirting a beach that is unsur-
passed and forming a canopy for thou
sands who watch the bathers is the
delight of the people.
The large pier under contract to be
built for next season well increase
WildWood's hold upon the public.
One of the real estate agents says he
has eighteen applications for cottages
booked for 1905. Many rooms in the
hotels and boarding houses have also
been engaged for next year.
a great stir has been made in real
estate circles by the new syndicate sale
OF premium contract lots lately intro
duced by Baker Bros, founders of
Wildwood. Real estate in general is
bringing good prices, and large profits
are sure to be made by those who in
vest at this time.
Incoming trains continue to be we'll
filled. This is one of the best seasons
the place has W. had. And hundreds
of visitors will continue until the mid
die OF September, while many will re-
main, especially the cottagers, far into
October.

There's a maiden fair and slender,
With an air just like a queen.
Oh. to see her eyes grow tender
/ would bow with abject mien!
I would humbly kneel before her
Might 1 whisper l adore her.
But l hardly dare address her,
Hardly dare to press my suit.
Though l gladly would caress her,
Eyes and voice alike are mute.
/ can only gaze and wonder.
While l keep my passion under.
All, | see her very often
AS she lightly comes and goesi
Would sometimes her eyes might soften,
Somehow showing that she knows
Something of my passion sleeping
Underneath the calm I'm keeping!
But, alas! there isn't any
Chance at all to get in work.
She is heiress to millions many;
1 am just a ribbon clerk,
I've no chance to go a-wooing,
So, you see, there's nothing doing.

Words that are sweeter to their ears
Than home. if rent is in arrears.

Think office more to their desire,

Tea Through a Straw.

When the natives of Paraguay
drink tea they do not pour it from
a teapot into cup, but fill a goblet
made out of a pumpkin or gourd.
and then suck up the hot liquid
through long reed. Moreover,
the tea which they use is altogeth-
er different from that which comes
from China, being made out OF
the dried and roasted leaves of u
palm-like plant which grows in
Paraguay and southern Brazil.
The goblets and reeds which are
used for this purpose are often
richly carved, and many Of the lat
ter are made of solid silver. The
natives say that this tea is an ex-.
cellent remedy for fever and rheu-
matism, and chemical tests which
have been made by German ply
sicians seem to show that there is
good ground for this statement.

Popular Cartoons.

The artof newspaper illustration
in it's present form is a develop
ment of recent years. Newspaper
cartoons have become mostpopu-
lar feature of up-to-date metro
politan daily papers. The unique
and catchy drawings now appearing
daily on the front page of the
Chicago Record Herald is one of
the many special features Of the
great paper. The Record. Herald
has been fortunate in securing one
of the best young artists in the
country to carry out its popular
policy of presenting each day a
humorous and good-natured, car
toon. Mr.. Ralph Wilder is one of
the coming men in newspaper work.
His success has been as pro-
.nounced as it has been rapid. He
shows all of the good-natured
humor and the bright side of
everyday common life which has
carried his work to very popular
success. His drawings are on all
of the various subjects of popular
interest, political and otherwise.
Current events are wildly por-
trayed in a way that pleases. yet
often giving just criticism in
way that does not offend. Through
his excellent work on eastern mag
azines Mr.. Wilder first attracted
universal attention. The Record
Herald recognized in him at once
cartoonist of unusual promise.
and congratulates it's readers on
having been fortunate enough to
engage him.-Adv.

Upon hillside is city fair.
Generously blessed by noble natures care,
Where crystal waters of a Vastly lake
Languidly roll in, and listlessly break
Upon the shore, to quickly trickle back.
And gather again for new attack.
AS you recline upon the pebbly beach.
Wanders the gaze far as eye can reach.
Where, perchance, in the distance you espy
ribbon of smoke, which to unaided eye
Seems to expand and to be drawing near,
Only to fade from view and disappear.
AWAKENING from slumbers on dewy morn,
You behold a sunrise Of beauty born,
Casting sheen of gold over expanse
OF ripping blue waters, to ever enhance
The splendor of the city's verdant scenes
Like Creations dawn your fancy weens.
Encirciing the hill upon its crest
Is boulevard, stretching from east to west
For several miles, where tourists drive
To view sweet natures charms. and vainly strive
In words of admiration to express
panorama that is lovely to excess.
And when the worry of the day is Ger,
You seek retreat beside the shore,
Or hasten to the shady groves that grace
The outskirts. where is found leafy place
To rest and listen to a laughing brook,
And birds that sing in some secluded nook.
And, so resting, you watch the setting sun
Sink DER the hill, proclaim the day is done;
Birds gradually cease their plaintive calls,
Like curtain the dusk of ev'ning falls
Ger the city, which is in mercy blessed,
By breezes from the lake to soothe its rest.

And view the city's lights in grand array, .,9-z

Rural Free Delivery.

Paper Read Before the GbdutauQua Circle.
/ Postmaster Farrell, Of Mason
City, Iowa, has a new plan for
rural delivery. It is to divide the
county into equal sections, making
for each town as fair division as
possible and making the boundary
of the county the limit of the mail
delivery.
In the county are now eighteen
routes, which will be increased to
twenty Eight or thirty under the
proposed system. Tbs proposed
salary of the carrier is from $500
to $500 per year $500 for ten
mile route or thereabouts. This
system, which will 60 into effect as
soon as the routes are laid out by
inspectors, is a step in the right
direction.
Under the present system a car
rier is paid from $500 to $720 per
year. He is privileged to transact
such business for his patrons as
will not interfere with government
duties. But he must not become
a sales-agent for any person or
firm. If a patron asks the carrier
to make purchase, the latter is
permitted to do so, but he must
not demand a stated sum for his
services. Under no circumstances
is he allowed to accept commissions
from dealers. There is nothing,
however, to prevent a dealer from
presenting a carrier with a mackin-
tosh, fur coat, or even a mail
wagon.
| Some men say that rural free
delivery is driving them out of
business; they assert that farmers
do not come to town unless they
have business to transact, and that
when a farmer comes after his
mail he usually makes a purchase.
On the other hand, the up-to-date
merchant says that free delivery
increases his trade. He is always
willing to lend helping hand. If
route Is to be discontinued on
account of bad roads, the hustling
merchant is one Of the first to take
the matter up and see if it is not
possible to meet the requirements
of the service.
People that have to drive in the
country soon realize what bene-
fit free delivery is to the public.
One of it's first requirements is
that the roads must be. kept in
good repair in all seasons, and if
at any time the inspector fluids
they are being neglected he in
forms the patrons that certain re-
pairs must be made if they wish
to retain free delivery The result
is that we find our best country
roads where the service has been
established.
/ think. however, that the pres
ent system has serious defects.
The farmer living some distance
from the route has to have a mail
box at the point OF the route near
est his farm sometimes a quarter
of a mile from the farm house.
These mail boxes become targets
for the mischievous, and are al
ways a source of temptation to the
inquisitive. And in case the pa
tron is in need of a stamp. money
order, or any postal information,
he must either rely on some other
person to attend to his business,
or else must meet the carrier him
self. Under the new system, each
patron of the route can personally
attend to such business, without
loss of time.
Rural free delivery is increas-
ing the circulation of the daily
papers. They can be had at
such reasonable price that once
