PHILOSOPHY.

Poem sent by John kendrick Bangs
10 the Des Moines Womel's Club:
II there's no sun, still have the
moon;
|: there's no moon, the stars my
needs suffice;
And if they fail have my evening
lamp.
Or, lampless, there's my trusty tallow
dip:
And if the dip goes out, my couch
remains,
Where ! may sleep and dream there's
light again.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

The Knoxville Expresses idea Of
nothing to worry about is Iowa's loss
OF population. WHO cares .
The Wall Street Journal aptly re-
marks that the art OF rolling up
wealth begins with the shirt sleeves,
! The Cttumwa Courier has reached
the conclusion that nothing is so ex-
pensive as something you get for
nothing.
The St Louis Globe Democrat has
noticed that not infreauently a lame
duck can get its leg reset and walk
very well.
The Des Moines Capital points out
that the joke is on those Iowans who
went south and west in search Of
mild winter weather.
There's no cause for Iowa to wor-
~ about the loss of population. 1t is
only question of time until most
of our old friends will come back
home" observes the Primghar Demo
crat.
The Oskaloosa Herald says there are
four things the coming legislature
should do: Elect a United States sem
ator without quibbling. Start actual
work on good roads for Iowa. Give
election boards some relief Adjourn.
The Brighton Enterprise admits
that it is convenient to. have some
one in the family who is not too re-
ligious to stay at home and cool, a
good Sunday timer aud have it ready
when the rest of the family get home
from church.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette suggests
that it is a good plan to come to
the conclusion right at the start of a
fight, that the man who does not
agree with you is entitled to his
opinion the same as you are to yours.
and that because he disagrees with
you is no sign he is dishonest or in
sincere or that you are absolutely
right. This is a world of give and
take
Mrs Lucy Hobbs Taylor of Law
renee, Kan, who was the first
woman dentist in the United States,
died last week. In fact, she claimed
that she was the first woman in the
world to graduate as dentist. and
the claim has never been disputed.
She graduated from a dental college
OF Cincinnati in 1866. She had a
large practice in Lawrence, where
she had lived for forty-three years.

bestudded with pearls. or shows too
much of the gold Innings
A dog collar that is being worn by
girl in the deepest Grape is in par
ticularly good style. 1t is made of
onyx set in gold. but in such a way
that none of the shining metal shows
The form of the collar Is groups of
five oval sections set horizontally one
above the other between square. up
right sections deep enough to hold the
cross pins in place. The horizontal
parts are pointed at each end and
about the size of an ordinary cuff pin.
This collar fits closely about the
throat and can be worn OH the outside
Of the gown or on the bare neck. In
having such an ornament made to or.

be varied to suit the length OF the
