Pleasant Erssure for FreckIes.

The summer girl is now frantically
trying 10 get rid of her frecklcs, which
the July and August sun brought forth
in all their glory. One of the best
and certainly the most harmless REM
edies for freckles is lemon juice
strained and diluted with water. A
young southern girl who was noted for
her beautiful complexion was at one
time annoyed by little patch OF
freckles across her nose, which she
said she removed by the following To-
ton: Sweet almonds, one ounce: bit
ter almonds, four drains; cherry
brandy, ten fluid ounces; to this ada
corrosive sublimate, six grains; tine
tUre benzoin, six drains; lemon juice,
four drains. Shake well before using.
Apply night and morning with a small
sponge.

Care of the Hands

A white and delicate hand, even if
not perfection in shape, is one of the
most important of personal charms,
and also one which can be more easily
obtained than is generally supposed.
When the hands are rough, chapped.
tanned. Redeemed with work. large
quantities of cold cream should be
rubbed into them and gloves worn at
night in order to get the best and
quickest results. There are gloves
made especially for this purpose, and
they differ from the ordinary street
glove in shape, and may be worn ali
night with comfort, for they do not
press too snugly on any part of the
hand.

Doctor and Hearse

A Washington physician was recent
~ walking on Connecticut avenue with
his 5-year-old son, when they were
obliged to stop at a side street to await
the passing of a funeral procession.
The youngster had never seen any,
thing of the kind. His eyes wfdened.
Pointing to the hearse, he asked.
Dad, what's that?'
That, my son. said the physician.

Belts of Suede.

Each season brings forth something
new in suede articles, either gloves,
shoes, belts or handbags. Just now the
belts attract considerable attention, for
they are reserving of it, since they are
neatly made, not too wide, and are fin
ished with beautiful oval buckles, rath-
er f1ashy, it is true, yet nicely adapted
are numerous, so one has no difficulty
in selecting shade to exactly match
or nicely harmonic with the dress

THE SEASONS.

How swift the days of summer roll
And bring the days for buying coal,
How oft we think, as cold winds rage,
OF how we wasted summers Wage.
But what's the use to waste ones time
In writing pessimistic rhyme?
We've got to dodge both LETT and right
To raise the price for anthracite.

THE POET.

Back of his splendid song, o think of
the song unsung!
Back of his painted dreams, the dream
that he never reveals,
Behind each lyric of rapture
The songs that he cannot capture
Save for his own delight, to keep his
heart still young.
But the songs that he never can sing
Children created Of one glad song tell
us what he feels
Some day they shall be uttered
When far his soul has futtered,
Sung by an unborn singer in new and
wonderful spring,

LACEY ON ALLISON.

Few men in Iowa know Senator AL
lison better than Major John f.
Lacey. They have been closely asso-
ciated in congress for many years, and
the following eminently fitting rebuke
to those political graftcrs who seek to
rob Iowa and the nation of his distin-
guished services and high position in
the councils of the nation was admin
istered by Mr.. Lacey in an address to
his comrades of the Grand Army at
Dubuque last week Major Lacey
spoke of the tendency to disparage
men because of their age. mo man
is any older than he feels. he declar-
ed, just as no woman is any older
than she looks Continuing, he said /:
'Moltke led the Germans in the
Franco Prussian war at eighty; and
Todleben was called from retirement
at ninety, when all things were going
against Russia. and turned the tide of
war at Plevna. Kuroki is now sixty
four: Togo sixty, and Oyama sixty
five. Gladstone at eighty was the
head Of the great British empire !;
William /, at ninety, restored the
German empire; Bismarck at eighty
was the leader in European diplom-
acy John A. Dix at sixty-three issued
his famous order: If any man at
tempts to haul down the American
flag, shoot him on the spot. Farra
gut had his first fight in the Essex
when thirteen years DID, but at sixty
three he dashed himself to the mast in
the battle at Mobile bav. The great
Humboldt only ended his wonderful
career at ninety. And dear old ALI
son, the best loved of all living
Iowans, is, at seventy-eight years
young, the unquestioned leader in the
senate of the United States, and his
wisdom is constantly called upon to
guide in oar national affairs
For thirty years no great public
question has been regarded as solved
until the finishing touches of his wis
dom had been applied. His detrac-
tors have always misrep-esented him
as being undecided and unready, but
no more false view of the man could
be suggested. He has stood for more
than forty years on the rolls of the
American congress, and the name
Allison comes at the head of the alph-
abetical list. as it does at the head of
our national wisdom. His name has
been first called upon the roll in vot-
ing upon all public questions. He has
not been the unready, but has always
answered upon the first roll call, and
set the pace for his colleagues in the
decision of all great public questions. !"

RALPH MARCH IN CREsC0.
Attracts Much Attention by Selling Liquor
on the Streets.

Last Thursday afternoon and even
ing a stranger attracted a good deal
OF attention on the streets of Cresco
by parading with jug of liquor and
offering il for sale at 10 cents glass
IA price which he claimed was very
cheap, quality considered. The Off
GERS paid no attention to the fellow
at first, believing that he was harm
less crank and had some mild. harm
less stuff which he was dispensing.
But as the shades of the evening
gathered, he became more earnest in
his efforts to dispose of the stuff,
which he insisted was the ''pure
quill'-a fact that the officers by this
time were convinced of, also that the
vender himself was partaking freely
of the aforementioned ''pure quill. :"
The fellow had good stock of wit
and ready reply to any question pro-
pounded. He informed the officers
that he knew what he was about and
warned them not TO interfere with
him in. the peaceable discharge of his
businesA The nerve displayed baffied
the otfi9ers for time; but matters
were finally brought to head when
that individual who has been the
scapegoat TO the legal fraternity for
centuries was brought into service.
A warrant was issued for John Doe :

distinguished guest accepted service
on the warrant and is now doing nine

INDIAN IN POLITICS

Oklahoma will be the first American
state to have at it's beginning any large
part of it's voters of race other than the
Caucasian The fact that Indians with
full rights of citizenship are large ele-
ment in Oklahoma's population has given
its organization as a state an unwonted
interest. How would the Indians, there
given for the first time a powerful voice
in government. use their power?
The record of Oklahoma's constitutional
convention, which has just adjourned
shows that the Indians there need no
tutoring in practical politics. They proved
that they knew what they wanted and
how to get it. They showed political
efficiency at every step along the road
The Indian delegates controlled the con-
vention, Ishaped its work, and made the
constitu don, which it has submitted to
the people. The Indian communities of
Oklahoma seem to have been very much
more alive than the white to the i'm
portance of the convention. All the news
dian delegates averaged higher than the
white. Most of the white communities
seem to have sent to the convention men
of the mediocre grade that get elected
to state legislatures in "of' years. The
Indian communities sent their best men,
those most highly educated and expert
enced in affairs. The Indian delegates
were strictly up to date in their political
ideas, In some respects rather alarmingly
so. The constitution they framed for the
new state contains about all the reform
ideas going. 1t has been well described
as "a bundle of panaceas" and as "a
terrible example of the mania for consti-
tutional regulation in its most virulent
form. ."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE BRAVE BRIeADEs

From the Baltimore Sun.
Away, away in the morning, to the re-
veille of life.
Over the valleys of sweetness into tho
cities of strife;
The brave brigades of the toiling, unto
the mills they stream,
Beautiful out of the starry night of rest
and the golden dream!
Away, away in the morning-good by at
the little gate,
Where love shall stand till eventide with
roses of love to wait;
Over the hills of morning, down to the
streets that roar,
The brave brigades of the daily life from
valleys of resting pour!
Away away in the morning, and back in
the star-sweet gloom,
With lips to the lips of love that wait
under the gates of bloom;
The brave brigades of the toiling, the
steady and tried and true,
Good night to you and the little eyes that
glimmer with love fer you!

And. once he gets started, can write by

WHEN ALL THE WORLD WAS
WHITE WITH FLOWERS

When all the world was white with
flowers,
And Springtime, in her sun-built bowers,
Who robed her white for bridal:
Somewhere between the golden sands
And purple hills of Folly's lands,
Love, with a laugh, let go our hands
The Love that never understands
And left our sides to idle.
When all the world was red with doom,
And Autumn, in her frost-carved room,
Bent darkly Ger the gypsy loom
OF mem ries she was weaving;
Who knocked at night upon our door?
All travel-worn and pale and poor?-
Who entered to our hearth once more?-
The Love, now wiser than before,
Our Love we found there grieving.
