THE GDl EN- GLORY.

The magazine writ-s, now as al
ways, keep on tell IS how to be
happy tho alive Especially of late
have we heard much Of the power Of
suggestion, a sort Of home made CON
game by which all individuals may
have all they want by imagining they
already have it. Says one of these
writer's: Life is not thoroughly lived
if it is not glowing; duties are not
rightly done unless they are perform
ed heartily, radiantly, with JOY. Our
days are not successful days unless
they are touched with splendor. Be
lieve that the splendor belongs to you
by right. Know that you may cap
turey the glory when you will. That
it is not grudgingly granted you by a
capricious heaven, but exists within
you and around you. You live in the
enchanted realm. Every moment the
magic presses close upon you. DO not
sigh for your golden moods. Claim
them.
But isn't this extraordinary exalta
ton dangerous? Hasn't it it's draw
backs? Isn't an inspired hired girl
hard on dishes and is not the section
hand tanping gravel in mist of men,
tai beatification. likely to smash his
own or another's toe? Does a golden
glow of glorification get the clothes
white on washday? Is golden mood
possible to the school girl who faces
the supper table after the company has
gone home? Where is the splendor
then? And is the voice of the bill col
lector the voice of angels?
Why not meet life face to face and
on the level. Life is beautiful enough
in all nakedness. 1t Is not to be i'm
proved by covering It with a calico
kimono. The responsibilities of life
are it's better part. It's hard work the
root of its growth, and it's sorrows the
secret Of its strength. The men Of
many sorrows are the creditors of the
future. The symbolism Of the butter
fly refers only to the Immortality Of
life, not to it's uses. Imagination plays
at accomplishment. Common sense
does things. Let us not weave CO.
coon Of dreams about existence but
meet life fairly for what it is worth
and live Il.

1Rf PASSING CT THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN.

Scarcely a prairie chicken in Frank
Hin county is the report of the Hamp-
ton Chronicle and other Iowa county
5weeklies tell a similar story. No
chickens in Iowa. is common re-
mark between lsportsmen. The change
has not come slowly. The chickens
have vanished in generation. Less
than thirty years has seen the prairie
chicken practically exterminated in the
state. The Dakotas still furnish mod
crate sport to those able to seek it. but
decrease in the number of birds is
steady and unchanging. Undoubtedly
the destruction OF the pinnated grouse
IL greater than its reproduction. This
decrease in it's numbers seems to be
steadily progressive with the passing
years. The area Of the habitat of spe-
cies also Is gradually diminishing, tho
this is not manifested. by the entire
and sudden termination Of the chick
ems in a certain section, nor their
sudden abandonment tf it. Twenty
years ago the habitat Of the prairie
chicken beginning in western Louis
lana, and Texas, extending thru the
prairie region of the middle south and
west, far up into British America, and
beautifully stocked with chickens, was
far in excess of the prairie chicken
habitat Of the present. Plentiful as
were the birds then they occupied a
lessened habitat and were far less in
number than they were when Audu-
bon, in visit to Kentucky. wrote of
them as being SO over plentiful there
and destructive to crops that they
were little short of being pest.
No chickens in Franklin county
where only few years ago a poor shot
hixht kill more than he could carry.
Any middle-aged sportsman may re-
member how hard 1t was to find room
in democrat wagon for the results
OF an afternoons sport. There were
more prairie hens than poultry in
franklin county in those days. Thew

outside slopes or hid In the high grass

composing it's membership. II
The Unitarian club has taken active
has appointed committee to confer
with the other clubs of the city. The
committee consists Of s. A. Stockwell,

Speaking of the aims of the proposed
organization, President Stockwell said,
"There are. almost as many men IS
clubs in the city as there are churches
and taken altogether they have a large
and influential membership, but indiv-
idually they are too small to exert any
great influence. In our club we have
many interesting and valuable, discus
sions on pubic matters such as taxa
ton, the management Of the schools and
other municipal questions, but they al.
ways end in talk. . Could the men Is
clubs Of the city form some sort Of a
union, then we would be able to exert a
powerful influence in favor Of those
measures which, in our discussions, we
found to be needful to the welfare Of
our city ~ r. r 4rG.-tss~z =s.. 4.
