Luxury of Home Making.

One of the prettiest illustrations of how
housekeeping and the work sometimes
called drudgery may be made a delight is
set forth In charming book read a gen.
Grafton ago by young and old alike. 1t
told how a family redeemed the labor OF
their home and converted 1t into a Joy by
the fashion In which they managed it; of
the pleasure they felt in using their best
things every day and knowing 1t was all
right, since they themselves were to handle
them or as one of them put 1t, that " sha
could stir her blanc mango with silver
spoon without being afraid the maid would
take 1t the next day to lift the ashes.'
That comfort and enjoyment are within
the reach OF every one of us who is able to
do her own housework. Why don't more OF
us get the full good of what might be called
the luxury of homemaking and look upon
the things We do as a delight instead OF
drudgery?
OF course there is risk here as there is
everywhere. 1 know a housekeeper who
reJoices in keeping no maid because of the
lack Of accountability 1t implies. If she
chooses to have breakfast late she is not
bothered by the thought that the cook is
in hurry to get the meal out of the way
and the dishes washed, and If she is not
at home in time to dinner she has no COM
Functions of conscience because she is
OBTAINING the maid over hours. No one is
put out by the delay but the members of
the family.
. 1t must be owned that her plan has It's
advantages but to my mind these are on
set by the drawbacks. Her house is never
really In order; always there is something
left undone, some odds and ends out OF
place. Her temperament enables her to
bear these trifles with composure, but |
notice that as her children are growing up
they are restive under the easy going meth
ods which did not trouble them when they
were younger.
My correspondent has far better ar
rangement than this. l wonder il she
knows what wise course she follows when
she makes her children, boys and girls. big
and little alike, feel their share in the home.

Bold Robbery in Council, Bluffs.

Council Bluffs Aug. 22.-While w. H.
Smith and his daughter sat in front Of
Smiths confectionery store at 234 West
Broadway, a few minutes after 10
o'clock, a robber entered from the rear
by removing the wire screen from a
door and creeping cautiously to the
front Of the store, within ten feet Of
where Smith sat, robbed the cash
drawer Of about $50 In money. The
robber made his escape and Smith a
few moments later discovered his loss.
The robbery was one Of the boldest
pulled off in the city in long time, as
there were a number Of people passing
along the street at the time. The rob-
Der apparently gambled on the pass
ersby thinking he was an employe of
the store. and must have concealed
himself at the rear some time during
the evening and waited the opportunity
to enter when the proprietor had
stepped outside to get the cooler air
on the street.

Webster City. Aug 22.--Not within
the memory Of the oldest inhabitant
has scourge Of hog cholera swep,
over Hamilton county the like Of which
is raging over the county just now.
While scores and scores Of farmers
have lost portions of their herds, AL
derman Weldon Helmick, who Is also
a stock buyer and spends much of his
time In the country, gives it as his
judgment that there are at least fiji
teen farmers in the vicinity OF this
city who have lost as high as 800 and
more hogs each.
Much cholera serum is being used,
but 1t can not be secured fast enough.
In one day $500 worth Of this serum
arrived at the express office for vari-
GUS farmers and veterinarians. Scarcely
day passes but 5000 worth Of 1t is
shipped in.
Rushing Hogs to Market.
On account of the prevalence OF the
cholera many hogs are being sold daily
and shipped to market, despite the fact
that prices have been declining for a
week. Among the heavier losers OF
hogs hereabouts may be mentioned
Ray Greenwood. who has lost herd OF
300; AL Ely. 27o; Chris Stein, $50; Mr..
Kurtz, 300; Elmer Cheever, $50; l.. N.
Mason, 200; Let Hill, 21O; Mr.. Elton.
200; Bascom Huddleston, 800. Frank
Reinhardt has two left out OF herd
of 800 and Peter Frohling out Of equal
~ as large herd has nine left. And
so it goes. those mentioned being
merely among the list of heavier losers.
While no one knows the cause of the
scourge, many assign the dry mid
summer season as at least contrib
uting factor.
