The faculty Of Imagination is the
great spring of human activity, and
the principal source OF human i'm
provement AS it delights In present
ing to the mind scenes and characters
more perfect than those which we are
acquainted with, 1t prevents us from
ever being completely satisfied with
our present condition, or with our past
attachments, and engages US continual
y In the pursuit of some untried en-
joyment, or OF some ideal excellence.
Hence the ardor of the selfish to bet
ter their fortunes, and to add to their
personal accomplishments. and hence
the zeal of the patriot and the philos-
opher to advance the virtue and the
happiness of the human race. Destroy
this faculty, and the condition of man
will become as stationary as that OF
brutes.--Dugaid Stewart.

SITUATION rs GooI

About every day in the week an in
cident or many happenings occur to
emphasize the fact that another era
has dawned in this city and that
Keokuk has entered upon the new
track of a greater and more pros
porous career.
What means all this gathering to-
miles around in this city? 1t is not
by mere accident that Keokuk is
crowded with scores and hundreds of
people on Sundays. the rest day of the
week. It is not mere unaccountable,
undirected impulse that fill the hotels
with strangers and visitors coming
from all points in the United States
and many localities across the ocean,
nearly every workday. There are
reasons stronger than mere accident
Or the careless. needless wanderings
of idle people. They come here in
variably for purpose, mostly for a
laudable business purpose.
Keokuk is beyond the period of
boasting. She has settled down now
to the calm, thoughtful, maturer days
of business. Our Industrial Associa-
ton is working along lines of solid
commercial and industrial progress.
Not only the east is attracted but the
developing and prosperous west is
turning its eyes Keokukward Unlike
many another town struggling for
ascendency, using all manner Of boast
ing devices to bring about a bubble
boom, Keokul has the goods to show
to all corners. to all investigators and
all investors.
