WILD GAME IN IOWA.

There was no lack OF good hunting
in Iowa IN the early days In 1893
Joseph M. Street, the government
agent for the winnebago Indians,
made trip nrough what is now the
northeastern part OF Iowa. In his re-
port a part of which is printed in an
article by Mr.. Jacob Van der Zee pub
lishea by the State Historical society
of Iowa, Mr.. Street made the follow.
ing statement:
Il never rode through country so
full Of game. The hunter who &C.
|companied me, though living most OF
his time in the woods, expressed his
establishment at the abundance OF
all kinds Of game except buffalo; and
the surveyors saw and killed many OF
these animals thirty or forty miles
west OF the Red Cedar river. Elk and
deer are abundant in the prairies, and
bear in the woodlands. The sign OF
fur animals, particularly rats and OF
tiers, is considerable on all the streams
and ponds, and abundant on the Wa
tpee-sa-pee-nee-can and Turkey rivers.
/ and on the former I saw, for the first
time, beaver dam in progress

It Is not just nor right to lay the sins
OF men at the feet of women. 1t IS
because women are so much better
than uen that their faults are consid-
cred greater. A mans desire is the
foundation of his love, but woman's
desire Is born OF her love. The one
thing in this world that Is constant.
the one peak that rises above all
clouds. the one window in which the
light forever burns, the one star thar
darkness cannot quench, is woman's
love. It rises to the greatest heights,
1t sinks to the lowest depths. 1t for
gives the most cruel injuries. 1t Is
perennial of life and grows in everS
climate. Neither coldness nor neglect,
harshness nor cruelty, can extinsuish
1T. A woman's love Is the perfumer Of
the heart. This is the real love that
subdues the EARTH the love that ha'
wrought all miracles Of art; that gives
us music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing symphony
that bears the soul away on wings OF
fire. A love that is greater than pow
er, sweeter than life and stronger
than DEATH"

Straight, Lark Hair
No Longer Necessary
(Guide to BeautyA

(Guide to Beauty
A simple and harmless fluid, hither-
to little used for the purpose, has
proved SO wonderfully effective in
quickly turning straight hair beauti-
fully wavy. it bids fair to become
"a1l the rage" You may be surprised
to learn that this product is nothing
more than plain liquid silmerine. More
surprised, still, when you see how
prettily it dries in the most natural
looking curls, swirls and crinkles you
could wish for. 1t makes fine dress
ing for the hair, too, keeping it so
soft and lustrous.
A few ounces OF liquid silmerine
which can of course be found in any
drugstore, will keep the hair curly for
weeks. It is neither sticky nor greasy
but quite pleasant to use. 1t should
be applied at night with clean
tooth brush--a perfectly lovely wave
and curliness will be in evidence in
the morning Best of all. one who
acquires the silmerine habit need
never again resort to the barbarous
curling iron. \.

kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no

It must be admitted that for many

cities along the Mississippi river have
not progressed as rapidly as cities sit

unlimited quantities. During the build

stantially all along the line and has
retained that standing exceptionally
well. AS was expected there was
full after the completion OF the dam
few years ago but that was caused by
depression which was general. Within
the past few months splendid prog
